Scared WouId-Bo Thief.

Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon was
riding in the subway recently when no
drew from his side pocket of his coat
his gold watch, which he had hurriedly
dropped there upon getting 1t back
from the matchmaker. He WAS about
to fasten 1t to his chain and pat 1t in
his waistcoat pocket when he noticed
a straphanger looking intently at him.
The face was familiar, and In mo-
ment DIR. OHanlon recognized the
straphanger as pickpocket that he
had several times seen In police
court Instead of putting his watch
In his waistcoat he slipped It back
into his coat pocket. Every few min
utes he drew II out and looked ut It as
though In hurry. Meanwhile the
pickpocket gradually shifted his posi-
ton near to DR.. O'Hanlon. As the
train drew into the Seventysecond
street station the thief was Immediate
" behind the doctor. and preparing to
try to sit down next to him. Again
tho doctor put his hand In his coat
pocket. but instead of his watch he
brought forth his badge OF ofiicer-a
shield that very much resembles the
shield of captain OF police:
You should have seen that fellow
get of that train" said DIR. OHanion.
