The man moved on. He said some
thing about the minions of the law
and 'the bloodhounds of monopoly"
but something in the expression of Po-
liceman Flynn's face convinced him
that it was wise 10 move on. Still, he
lived in that vicinity, and it was not
his nature to remain long quiet. So a
few days later Flynn found him hold
ing forth in the same strain again,
and again he forced him to move on.
But the policeman was troubled.

Having thus explained the troubles
that beset official life in a way that
will be appreciated by men in much
higher positions, Policeman Flynn pre-
pared to drop the subject in order to
give his exclusive attention to his pipe
and his paper. But Mrs. Flynn was
not at the end of her resources.
why don't ye ha-ave a ta-alk with
him." she asked. "Ye might tell him
tn throuble he's maxim ye."
This seemed so absurd to Policeman
Flynn that he only laughed. Never
theless, the idea took root, and one
day, when opportunity offered, he
opened a conversation with the anar-
chist.
Il suppose" he remarked, that t
is no use discussin' tn matther with

the anarchist.
Policeman Flynn gave this phase OF
the question thoughtful consideration
