NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Business

West Sixty-eighth street police sta
ton up to $3.50 p. m, when a cab
halted at the door. Out of the We
hicle stepped the most gorgeously
arrayed individual ever seen in the
neighborhood.
He was a short and fat German.
He was crowned with glittering
spiked helmet held in place by a
gilded chain drawn taut under his
nose. His skin-tight coat was sky
blue and the trousers, seemingly
glued to his elephantine legs, were
of the shade of Philadelphia brick.
High top boots of shiny patent
leather encased his feet, and at his
heels jingled huge spurs.
The sword that completed the
impressive outfit was of extraor-
binary length.
Lieutenant Quinn, doing behind
the desk, took one sleepy look, then
ducked and grabbed a nightstick.
But 1t was a needless move.
