THE LUCK OF CASEY.

Them two yeggmen are in that
there building" declared Caseyb
chief, pointing a stubby finger at
a ramshackle tenement house.
You, Casey, go in that there front
door, and you, Mcguire, go around
to the back door. I'll fix the other
men SOS they can't get away, and
one of you fellows ought to nab
EN-
AS he spoke the chief turned a
cynical eye on Casey. Casey, with
mouth too widely open, was gap
ing at the structure. Down in his
heart Casey knew that he was
afraid, horribly afraid, and he felt
that the chief knew it also. All
Casey's pride in his bright new
police uniform vanished, and he
felt like tearing off the garments
and scurrying back to his more
! mental job of coachman. Then
came before him the picture of
Norah's flushed, proud face as she
gazed at him that morning when he
appeared before her for the first
time in his officers garb. At this
vision Casey gulped hard, once or
twice, and ran into the building.
He would not make Norah ashamed
of him.
Inside all was dark and fear
some. He could scarcely see his
hand before his face, but some
where in that building were the
two yeggmen who had been terror
izing the city, and it was up to
Casey to find them.
Suddenly he heard the sound of
a cautious footstep. Instantly
Casey was on his guard, but, like
the amateur that he was, he made
his presence known by speaking.
who's there?" he cried, with a
tremor in his voice.
For answer there came a rush
in his direction. Someone drove a
hard, heavy fist into his face, and
Casey sank to the floor with a dull
groan, while he felt someone leap
over him.
When Casey came to himself
again he could not at first realize
what had happened. Then it burst
upon him with full force. He had
allowed one of the yeggmen to get
away. He was disgraced! What
would Norah say?
Then the sound of scuffling far
Their down the hallway brought him

Casey hurried down the hall, rather
funsteadily, because of the whirring
inNhis head. When he reached the
spot where the noise had come
from. he stumbled over a body on
the floor. BY, the light of a match
which he struck, he saw both Of

the darkness, each had thought the
other a policeman, and in the re-
sulting fight both had gone down

Oddly enough, Casey, green as he
was, had sense enough to handcuff
both of them and lead them to the
street. A surprised look passed over
the chiefs face when he saw Casey
leading out the two.

COSTLY ADVICE?


Bright and early one morning a
farmer started to town to sell his
produce. In this town there lived
a lawyer who was noted far and
wide for his wisdom.
After the farmer had sold his
goods he decided to get some ad-
vice, from the lawyer. Upon a
piece of paper the lawyer wrote.
"Never put off till tod borrow what
yoa can do today" For this he
charged SIS.
THE farmer returned to his home
about o'clock. He felt rather
tired after his journey.
The hay was lying in the field
to be raked. At first the farmer
thought he would let it lay until
the next day. Then he thought of
the. lawyers advice. He gathered
all the farm hands and they start
ed to haul in the hay. By nightfall
1t was all safely stored in the barn.
That night there was heavy
rainstorm and flood. Many farmers
who had not gathered in their hay
sustained heavy loss.
When the farmer thought how
much he had saved he decided the
lawyer'se advice had been cheap
indeed, and that he would follow
it ever afterward.

A youthful beggar struck town
about noon yesterday and at once

handed out card stating that he was
deaf and dumb and wished to secure
money to take him to an institution
where he could learn a trade. Final
ly some one telephoned to the police
and the young beggar was rounded
up. .@

found in his pockets and he cheerful
" stated that he had secured all of

later released with the definite under
standing that he leave town on the
evening train. The young fellow
seemed to be an old hand at the
business and was evidently a "dope

If he was really deaf and dumb
there would not have been the slight
est difficulty in gaining access to any
one Of the numerous state institutions
without the slightest cost to himself
or any one else, and the deaf and
dumb "racket" is one of the COM
