How Policeman Barney Flynn hap
pened to be put on crossing duty"
was mystery to every man on the
force, but why he was taken off was
well known to all of them. The "cross-
ing men" are usually large and of i'm
posing presence, while Flynn is small
and would not attract the attention
Of anyone who did not know of his
prowess. But he was given the work,
nevertheless,
"'Tis me size," he said by way Of
explanation. 9Th big ma-an Is fine

Whatever of truth there may be In
his assertion, the fact remains that
he was put on crossing duty, and he
went about his work with the same
| energy that characterized him in all
that he had previously undertaken
He was the supreme ruler of that

Meanwhile the wife that he had
MANNED was fighting for her life at the
Grady hospital. Gangrene had set in.
Her life hung In the balance. The sur.
geons shook their heads. It was a
toss.up whether the wounded: woman
would live or die.
Public sentiment was with the wife.
So Crutchfield's privileges were cur
tailed and he was sent to. jail--the

locked in a cell, and there is likelihood

Instead, Crutchfield was assigned to

not with contempt, and nothing is so
CALLING as that.

to burly driver one day, "sh'u'd be
threated with ray-spict.'
Don't get foolish, little man," re-
turned the driver, patronizingly, at
the same time showing disposition
to ignore the policeman's uplifted
club.
"Oho! yed yet ga-ay with me, w'u'd
ye?" cried Policeman Flynn. "Come
down out iv that high-chair seat!">
The driver only laughed, whereupon
Flynn, by quick movement, caught
hold of the reins and jerked them out
of the drivers hands
'tNow will ye be good" he asked
cor will We dhrive me over to tn sta.
tion?"
The driver realized that he was al
the policeman's mercy, and surlily
promised to show all proper respect in
the future.

polls dignity. I'm upholdin'," Flynn

would have caught the horse by tn

He bided his time, and finally, whe1
the contractor was caught in a poke
and had to draw up, the policeman
promptly stuck his club between tn

r. The climax came the other day when
the surgeons said that Mrs. Crutch-
field would get well, and that her hus-
band could apply for bail. He at once
decided to celebrate.
"Call up the best caterer In town, ;"
he ordered of his jailers. "Have a
'possum supper, and plenty of ale and
cider"
They had it in the jail all right. The
| news of the feast to come was pub
llshed in the afternoon papers, and two
women admirers OF the man who had
his vengeance" sent big frosted cakes
as an addition to the repast.
When supper time came large

room and the prisoner-guests and sew

feasting. The man who had his ven:

Clothes for Out-of-Doors Wear

Fashion has decreed that velvet shall
be worn and many of the out-of-doors
costumes will be made of this mater
ial, in fact, more comfortable feel
ing or comfortable looking cloth could
not be found.
In matter of coats the three-quarters
length seems to be most in vogue, and
all are collarless. although this ques.
ton, SO long in allegiance, is being
raised in the fashion centers of Paris
and London. After having had our
coats and cloaks collarless now for
good number Of years, even in the
depth of winter, it has occurred. to
some of the big furriers in Paris to
raise the question Of the wisdom of
such a fashion and whether it would
not be well to revive the high Medicis
collar once more. Personally, should
hail the return of the Medicis or storm
collar to our fur garments with Joy,
for not only did it protect the back
OF the head and neck, which is one
Of the most sensitive portions of the
human frame, and the one most &C.
cessible to neuralgia, but also it
framed the face in the most bewitch-
ing fashion. But the mere idea of
the revival has raised shrieks of op-
position from many fair Parisiannes,
who declare that the high collar rum
pies the hair, though why it should
do So, when the hair is invariably
worn drawn up to the top of the head,
and the Medicis collar is always cut
to- stand out at the top and leave the
head free, Is difficult to explain log
ically.. Every revival Or innovation,
however, is nearly : always greeted
with shrieks of protest by one section
or another Of the feminine commun.

Had the husbands aim been as true

first Mrs. Crutchfield would have lost
both limbs. But by q merciful mis-
shot both bullets hit the same limb.
The 11-year-old boy, Loudette. heard
the shots. He started down to the
door to let his mother in. He had just
opened it when Tie first shot was fired.
He jumped on the back of his father
as the second bullet was sent on it's

him to keep him from firing again. j..

boy chung to him.

down the steps.

he yelled, in his rage.
