Just then the other man pocketed 81, de-
claring, That's what l win," and Cohen
mind was made up. The men moved to his
seat, and soon Cohen was watching the
cards as the dealer deftly passed them back
and forth between. his hands, Despite his
watchfulness, however, Cohen could never
seem to keep his eye on the proper card
Dollar by dollar his money passed cut of
his hands to those Of the genial strangers
A loser and disguised when he reached
the track, Cohen decided that he had been
swindled, and after telling several Pinker-
tons of his belief, he sought out Detective
Germanhauser of the COney Island police
station, who was on duty at the track
Think you could tell the men If YOU
saw them again?' asked Germanhauser.
and when Cohen declared that he could the
detective took him in tow. Leaving the
grounds at the end of the sixth race, Cohen
caught sight of George Murray and John
Koarisch, both of Brooklyn.
Those are the men, he whispered ex
citedly to Germanhauser, and the detec-
tive arrested them on Cohen's identifica-
ton When leaving the grounds he also ar
rested Henry Phillips. who Germanhauser
declared was known as kid" Phillips. a
fighter and gambler.
With his three prisoners, Germanhauser
started for the station. At Gravesend ave-
nue. and Avenue he saw Henry Smith pre-
siding over three-legged table urging the
homeward bound race crowd to try your
luck. Keep your eye on the card and win
my money" Germanhauser cautioned his
prisoners not to even bat an eyelid, and
then he marched up to the unsuspecting
Smith.

drew a bill from his pocket.
You lose, Them smiled Smith as he
passed the cards, and then reached for the

boundless when he learned that the other

ADJUSTMENTS
IN 1.-THE UMPIRE"

That most important feature of a
down-to-date musical comedy-the
contingent of singing and dancing
girls-will be especially emphasized
in the Umpire" which Harry Asking
will present at the Keylor Grand, Sat-
urday, March 9.
Julian Mitchell, of the Lew Fields
Herald Square theater in New York,
whose achievements in THE Wizard
Of o." Babes in Toyland," and 1T
Happened in Nordland," pronounce
him the master stage director of his
time, has selected the members Of the
chorus and drilled them in the many
graceful evolutions and dances which
go to make up this part of the enter
tainment. The chorus is one of the
largest, as we'll as the most cOmely,
that ever left New York. and those
who have seen the costumes declare
them to be rich and tasteful to the last
degree. 1t will be recalled, perhaps,
that THE Umpire ran $50 nights in
Chicago, breaking all the records for
Theatrical successes in that CITY.

DOG TAKES RIDE IN THE All
Big Eagle Makes Dive for Fleeing
Rabbit and Clutches YeIping
Hound.

MACWAHOC, Me-, March. 5.-Hiram
Chase was running rabbits with his
pet hound, Sport, the other day when
he noticed a huge eagle lettering about
in the sky overhead. Now and then
the bird would come almost within
gunshot; then he would mount so far
into the blue that he looked little big
ger than a robin.
All this time Sport was running the
most erratic rabbit that ever led hound
a chase. Instead of progressing in a
circle he scooted back and forth at all
kinds of angles, until his trail was a
study in geometry. Evidently the
rabbit had something on his mind, and
Chase rightly guessed that this was
the eagle.
1t was nearly an hour before the
hare lodged by within sight, and the
hunter had an opportunity to fire at
him. The brush was thick, and in

stead Of killing the little animal he
broke one of his back legs. 1t Is
with these long legs that Mr.. Rabbit
propels himself, and with one of them
out of commission he was forced to
decrease his speed. The hound took
advantage of this, and at the end of
another quarter of a mile he grabbed
the hare by the loose skin at the back
of the neck.
Sport was shaking the little fellow
in way to make the fur fly when the
eagle shot down like a plummet. Evil

rabbit. If he did he missed his cal
culations, for he set his talons firmly
into Sports hide. The next instant
he rose with the bowling and strug-
Cling dog hugging his tail between his
legs. Up and down the pair see-sawed
while Chase rushed to the rescue, fir
ing his gun as he ran.
Getting directly under the bird and
dog he let go both barrels, and down
came Sport. Two shots hit the dog in

STILL HIS WHISPERS GREW.

cobs left this city for California seven
years ago, where he roughed it far
from the thickly settled portions. Two
years ago his razor was stolen from
his ranch by a tramp and he vowed
that he would not have shears or ra-

his native town.
Judging from his appearance when
he entered a local barber shop yester-

of hair that would delight the soul of
a Fiji islander, and none of his friends
recognized him until his hirsute ap-

Christ Is Greater Than The Powers OF

In another one of his excellent SER
mons DR.. H. o. Breeder told his hear
ers at the Central Christian church last
night how transient were the pleas
ure of sin and how everlasting the
pangs of remorse.
He unfolded the beauties Of the spir-
itual vision and pleaded for the regen-
Grafton of his hearers. He showed how
pitiful was the condition Of the man
who had nothing but desire. History
and literature were drawn upon by the
talented preacher to illustrate his point
and example after example was cited
to prove his thesis.
That there was grace enough to go
around was his final thought. This
because Christ is greater than the pow
ers of evil.
