CHIEF FLYNN'S FIRE ESCAPE

William Flynn, the secret service
chief, used to have ambitions to be
an inventor. His taste ran toward
getting up new-fangled fire escape
that would fold up when not in use
and not seriously mar the appearance
of building. He felt that if he could
just do something to save a few dis
tracted persons caught in burning
buildings he would not have lived in
vain. Being a resourceful person,
Flynn thought and thought about the
proposition until finally he got a plan
all worked out. He showed his draw
ings to several friends, who declared
that it was thoroughly practical. All
that remained to be done was to have
the thing patented and then sit back
and reap the fortune that was his.
One afternoon he was strolling
across Brooklyn bridge on his way
to look at a piece or property he was
going to buy when the money began
to pour in from the new fire escape.
He CHANGED to glance across at build
ing and noticed fire escape that locke

Samuel Huston Thompson, assist

son were at dinner one night with Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Folk. After dinner II
was suggested that the party should
go up to the Folk residence to listen to
some graphophone music.
So they all started. On reaching
there Mr.. Folk put his hand in his
pocket TO find his keys. He took his
hand out of that pocket and sought
another pocket. Then he tried his
right vest pocket, then his left vest
pocket. then other of his numerous
pockets in rapid succession.
Then he left the vestibule and
walked down the steps, leaving his
wife and two friends in the doorway.
Across the street was a pile of cob
blestones. Carefully selecting a fine
round stone. he retraced his steps and
entered the vestibule again
There was a smash OF glass, and
a large hole appeared in the Folk
front door. Joe Folk inserted his

young enough to be accepted, even as

than any so-called honor won else
where. I would gladly give up every

Always a fighter, Sir Edward was
at his best when there was a difficult
case to be won, his extraordinary
powers of cross-examination ard the
icy. biting style he adopted towards
hostile witnesses being among his
greatest assets
1t was in the days when he carried
out Mr. Balfour's policy in Ireland
that Sir Edward once asked a parish
priest Of his acquaintance what his
parishioners, one or two of whom had
