A Surprised Deputy.


A number of years ago the United
States marshal of western Pennsylva,
mia sent warrant to one of his depu.
ties. who was stationed In back coun.
ty. for the arrest of n counterfeiter.
fhe deputy knew the man and treated
him considerably. When they reach
ed Pittsburgh the necessary papers
were not at hand to commit the prison
er to Jail. The deputy would not take
him to hotel. because he would have
to pay the bill out of his own pocket
So he took him to the marshals office
to pass the night there. The deputy
was sleepy. and the counterfeiter said
he was. So the deputy handcuffed his
prisoner to himself and lay down on
the floor beside the steam register. As
soon as the deputy was asleep the
counterfeiter took his keys FROM his
pocket. unlocked the manacle and fas-
tened the loose end to the register.
Then he took the deputy's watch and
