Milk PeddIer's Trick.

"Of course, in this city," said a
Philadelphia milk inspector, 'the
milk is pure, but I've been in some
towns where impure milk dealers have
played some funny lodges on me.
You know how I work? Sneak along
the streets, hold up milkman, and
take a sample right out of the can?
Well, it has been common thing
when a milkman has known me by
sight for him to pretend to trip on

upset his can of milk all over the
pavement Yes, that trick worked
the first time, and ] wasted a lot of
pity on the man that played it,

Could he do that there woUIu oe just tune to s,e..k to Enid and get back in time to take the western Express that would connect iii Chicago with the over land That would get him In San Francisco just in time to catch the Empress of China.
 He wanted to tell Enid that his chance had come at last and ask If she would wait An unexpected turn of affairs had put him in position to speak of marriage: Q thing he had not dared to even think of for at least year yet.
 He slipped down the foggy street with the easy stride of cross country runner and. smiled as he. heard behind the soft batter of other hurried footsteps The man behind would never reach the car first if that was what he was rgRn.hg for.
 Then suddenly the steps ceased and moment later a mob came tearing around the corner raising the hue and cry. Colorook kept on He felt no interest in a thief with Enid in Chester and the ear about to start Then suddenly q bluecoated form started up before him and he almost ran into the policeman arms. An iaste@, later he had been scientifically collared and the mob had come panting up.

 But see here" insisted Colbrook. T was running 10 catch the Chester trolley I had to make the 1:30 and I was sprinting I heard some one running behind me and suddenly he must have dodged into a door way, That was probably your man"
 Quite likely" was the cheerful response but all the same you can tell that to the sergeant"
 But I have to get to Chester and back in time to catch the Western Express" he pleaded. T am leaving on that for China"
 Through train?" laughed the officer appreciatively. He evidently reguarded Cobrook as a humorist.
