'em they've got the best cop in town
down at the quay, Nora" he said to
his wife at the end of the first day.
They've never put you on post
down there" exclaimed his wife in
horror.
The Quay was the name locally
given to the bridge which crossed
the river between two factory dis
tricts. The strikers had cOnsta ptIy
endeavored to cross it in parade, but
each time they had been repealed.
However, on the morrow, as they
had publicly advertised, they meant
to march over the bridge in a grand
procession to the city hall. And this
the mayor had sworn they should
not do.

He felt prouder than ever of his
uniform on the next day when, stand
ing in a platoon with his comrades,
he watched the mob forming in the
lower section Of the town. There was
the sound of distant music. Flaherty
started and frowned. Why, this was
sacrilege. The band was playing
"The Wearing of the Green"
Flaherty gripped his club tighter.
He looked at the lieutenant in charge.
He had ordered the men to dispense
to their own posts. Did he not know,
then, that an attack was imminent?
This was Flaherty's post, here on the
bridge. The platoon was dispensing.
Discipline forbade Flaherty to ask
questions. He was left alone. He
gripped his club more tightly. If he
was to be made the sacrifice on &C
count of a foolish order he would
show them what he could do. His
feet were paining him furiously and |
the blood rushed to his head. He was
quite alone now.

The old Irish accent had come back
in full force with his excitement.
Dennis saw the men with the flags
halt irresOlUtely. The crowd surged
backward and forward, and then, at
a word of command from its leaders,
advanced again. The men with the
flags smiled cooIIy and contemptU-
Ously. Dennis felt his wrath over

and began clubbing right and left.
He seized the nearest flag. The mob
beat against him like an invading
