ed the same in the SOhn case. The
SOhn case brought out the manner OF
the securing of the liquor by the state

tube from the Salvation army for a
funnel in which to pour the liquor and
that a bicycle inner tube poured the
liquor into a bottle on the inside Of

Escapes Death NarrOwIy-Police
officers and spectators are wondering
how John Smith, a DO" escaped death
when he was rolled the full length of
the Orders on the Rock Island viaduct
at Fifth and Brady streets, between
the side of a box car, and the steel
giTders. Smith and a man giving the
name of T. o. Cole, who claims to be
Smiths uncle, started from Rock Is
land for st. Paul. They went as far
as West Liberty, and then decided to
come back. Accordingly, early yester-
day morning they caught a freight in
that place, and came back, jumping
from the tram at F1Itn ana MAIN
streets. Another notion struck them,
however. and they decided to go on to
Rock Island. Cole succeeded in
boarding the freight, and Smith also
got a footing on the lower steps of one
OF the cars. Before he could climb
higher, however, the train started to
cross the viaduct, and Smith was
dashed against the Orders. For the
full length of the bridge the man was
rolled along, and finally flung to one
side when the end of the girders was
reached Officer Sanford had seen the
pair get off the train, from the patrol
barn across the street, and he was
standing on the opposite side of the
train waiting 10 take them into Gus
tody Cole left the train when he saw
his companion fall, and the pair were
taken TO the police station in the po-
lice ambulance. DR. Z. O. Ficke was
summoned. and he found that the man
was uninjured with the exception of
bruises and cuts on his body. He was
sent to jail for 80 days to recuperate.

IRON MS pocket ana passing IL 10 the con-
troller of the envelops.
"It's funny" he was saying, scratching
his bald head, "and l started in so lucky.
Well, here goes my last!"
His fingers trembled as he opened the
envelop. Then he threw it on the table
with sigh. 1t was blank.
Hard luck!" commented the operator
briskly. "Any other gent want to try
his luck?"
MIR. Tinker fumbled in all the pockets
of the Weatherbce trousers. He tried
to discover new pockets. He patted the
clothes all over, to ascertain whether by
chance there might be money sewed into
the Innings. 1t was useless.
Many a BoXtonian would have been
utterly cast down; but Joe Tinker bright
Suddenly he felt hungry. He thought of
the Commercial Hotel, and he set out
for it as fast as he could travel.
ALMOST at the same moment that Mr..
- Tinker was CHANGING his last dollar
on the envelops, Clint Weatherbee ap-
peared in the kitchen of the hotel, roaring:
(Which pants did you give that critter?
Which pants has that son-of-who-cut-his
hair got on?"
"Don't make such a noise! The light
ones with the dark stripe" replied Mrs.
Weatherbee
MIR. Weatherbee rested his huge bulk
against the wall and groaned. Then he
asked, (which way has he gomez
"Why, what's the matter?' asked his
wife in return
(Which way has he gomez repeated
Clint hollowly. He hasn't been home
to dinner!"
"How do l know? l haven't been
keeping track of him. l guess l got my
hands full without that, responded Mrs.
Weatherbee.
The hotel proprietor slammed out of
the room, and, with an agonized yell,
left the hotel in search of the "critter"
that had fallen heir to his extemporized
savings bank
Mrs. Weatherbee considered that her
husband was making good deal Of fuss
cover pair of pants.' She did not know
that Clint had been surreptitiously
boarding in those trousers. Clint had
not meant that she should know: it was
in the nature of little private cache,
which he was reserving for a celebration
in the autumn.
Since MIR. Tinker had chosen the main
street in his return to the Commercial
Hotel, and since Mr.. Weatherbee had
chosen the main street in his impetuous
flight, it was natural that they should
soon meet. AS a matter of fact, MIR.
Tinker was in front of the Banner Office,
and Mr.. Weatherbee was just passing
Edmonds' store, next door, when they
recognized each other.
There was something about the bearing
of the huge oncoming figure that informed
Mr.. Tinker that MIR. Weatherbee was in
search of somebody; and he instantly
concluded that the somebody might easily
be himself He stopped short, hesitated
a moment, and then started across the
street.
Ali. there!' cried MIR. Weatherbee.
"You, | meant"
MIR. Tinker now felt perfectly sure that
he was the object Of the hotel mans haste,
and he quickened his steps. Mr.. Weather
bee likewise quickened his. and struck
out obliquely toward the returned Box

ing at the heart that made him ObliviOus
to this present situation of danger. ("How
did l miss that other hundred?' he was
thinking to himself)
As a matter of truth there was no other
hundred. 1t had been foxy ruse on the
part of the hotel man to surprise the cul-
prit into confession. But it failed, be-
cause Joe Tinker was seldom surprised at
anything. Yet it gained another object
it made Mr.. Tinker almost unhappy, in
the belief that somehow he had lost the
other hundred.
"A hundred and sixty-three dollars!"
again repeated Tinker. "In them pants?
You're joking"
"l'll show you, mister, whether I'm jok-
ing or not before get through with you,'
replied Clint, in calmer voice that BODIED
no good for the other man. all teach
you to-
He stopped suddenly. A jumble of
feminine voices had reached his ears. He
stepped to the edge of the shed and peered
out.
"A passel of wimmen!' he muttered.
"And they're coming down here!"
It was a group from the Woman's Aux
iliary, coming for the float. There was a
lad with pair of horses following behind
them.
In his excitement, Mr.. Weatherbee held
on to the trousers till it was too late to do
the reasonable thing with them.
@Git somewhere!' he whispered to Mr..
Tinker. "Git anywhere! Hide! VIM
men!"
aMy pants!s blubbered Joe, seeking for
place to 4git.'
There were stairs on hinges for the pur-
pose of reaching the loft, but these had
been hooked to the ceiling Of the shed to
economic space, and could be unlocked
only by using ladder.
There was just one place for Mr. Tinker
to go, and he got there in hurry And
just as he got inside the wigwam on the
float, Mr.. Weatherbee, with the trousers
concealed under his coat, stepped forth
from the shed and said feverishly, "How
dye do, ladies! been down here looking
at your float
"But we don't want everybody looking
at it," replied one of the women indig-
nantly.
"D-didn't you?" replied Clint, who was
always aUdSlleu Ill tIle pTeSeIlce VI lcIIitieS
other than his wife. II 'pologize. l
didn't know
well, do run along now,' he was told.
And the woman who spoke last said to
the lad with the horses:
Hurry up, Freddie. Hitch on to the
float. We've got to be in front Of the
Congregational parsonage at three o'clock
sharp
The members of the Auxiliary, having
given their orders, preceded the float out
OF the alley. Mr.. Weatherbee watched
the big wagon go. not knowing exactly
what to do. Half way up the alley he saw
the wigwam tremble, and then he per-
ceived that the rear end of it, at the bot
tom, was being raised. An arm emerged,
and then head; then another arm. Then
he saw Mr.. Tinker wildly beckoning to
him and, by means of sign language, inn
ploring him to hand over the missing
garment.
The float ratified onward. Mr.. Tinker
gesticulated dumbly. But suddenly the
thought of his ravaged treasure turned
Mr.. Weatherbee's rising pity to gall. He
shook his head bitterly and retreated to
the riverside.
Darn his wuthless hide!" murmured
