ering and locked him up. The tramp
was searched, and as no money was
found on his person the marshal was
positive that he was fiat broke.
Cushing's c,,'aboose sets back from
the street and Is detached from other
buildings. A path leading diagonally
across the corner Of the lot is followed
as "short cut" by many persons dur
ing business hours. A barred window
of the calaboose overlooks this path.
Shortly after the tramp was locked
up the city marshal raided sjoint"
and confiscated case OF whiskey in
half.pint TASKS. He carried the whis.
key to the calaboose and stored 1t in a
strong wooden chest which was se-
cured by paddock.
Say, pardner." said the tramp,
couldn't you give a thirsty man just
one swig?"
"Not on your life," answered the
marshal as he locked the calaboose
and went home for supper.
The tramp was the only lodger in
the calaboose. He was man Of wit,
even business enterprise. He found a
rusty nail and began tinkering with
the paddock. To his delight, the pad
lock flew open and the whisky lay be-
fore him.
The tramp opened q bottle took a
strong, steady pull, and felt refreshed.
The city marshal was right in thinking
that the tramp was penniless-he had
been broke for nearly q week. The
tramp tapped his forehead with hfs
rusty finger. He tapped several times,
and then his face broadened into
smiles. Was 1t not true that the whole
town of Cushing was thirsty? Had not

such industry as to create a calamit.

Shortly after nightfall a citizen who
was taking the short cut past the Gala
boose heard voice in the darkness:
"Say, pal. how would you like bot.
tie OF real red booze-the kind your
grandfather used to make back In the
mountains Of Kentucky?"
The citizen was thrilled by the in.
