Suddenly turning highwayman, jim
Clay, who had inhibited too freely, con.
cealed himself behind telegraph pole,
from which he peered dramatically
from time to time, and awaited tile
coming of his next victim, who hap.
pened along in the person OF bread
wagon driver. Rushing out with yells
resembling those OF Comanchc Indian.
and frightening the driver off. he seized
an empty bread tray and made hero
tcally off; but unfortunately the as
founded driver so far recovered hlnl-
self as to be able to heave brick at
the fleeing Robin Hood. which caught
him squarely between the shoulders
and caused him to abandon flight, drop
his burden and stand bowling In the
street. In all probability he would
have kept up the latter condition for
m indefinite period but for the cry of
.Copn which seemed to sober up the
bandit. and when last seen he was maxi
1ng for the woods Of Chesterfield.
