Mr.. Casey / said one evening as We
eased our tired backs against an ROY
fence on his beat. have you got your
last medal With you?'
Tn sorry | haven't, SIR replied the
cop. 3
I've heard that it is a grand one"
ITS a gold one. set with diamonds.
And Just how did o ear it?"
by losing my memory for 4 few
hours. sir
Casey, you are joking"
II never joke. sir he replied.
We'll. tell me the story"
1t began this way. | was walking

evening. 1t was about 8 O'clock, when
all OF a sudden | went strange. ! be-
gan to wonder who / was and where |
was at. To save my life / couldn't
make out whether l was Jimmie O'Diil
or Casey. the cop. The alderman. with
whom | have my pull, came along and
asked me for the loan of $40. and | did
not know him. i had a dim idea hat l
was the postmaster of Chicago and that
the alderman was a widow striking me
for a job in the money order depart
ment."
That was odd

that it was my alderman.

When 1 pulled his nose he did not
resent 1t. When he ooh $40. 80 from my
pocket he was honest enough to put
BACK the 30 cents to last me through
to pay day. Some aldermen would have
kept that as Well"
but did he ever return the $4O?"
asked.
-Of course not. Do you think an
alderman is out for his health?"
We'll. go on

'Whats the matter with Casy?'

He never had any to lose!'

duty: and III have him UP at headquar-

And did he?" 1 asked as Casey
paused.

memory was restored and called him
a liar: He had me up on that. sure

And YOU were convicted and-"
He had only one witness. while

OF those witnesses swore that whe.

There are so many people living in a
fools paradise without realizing it that
it would seem almost unkind to awak-
en- them from their dreams First and
foremost are the women who ave met
the ONE and only" and fallen in love
at sweet 16 or thereabouts. The lover
mas kept Oh calling and making love
Tor the next decade of years, or so. OF
course, his heart has gone out to her,
or he would not keep coming. But he
is serenely satisfied with courting-so
much so that he has never proposed
marriage. The girl lives in a halo OF
rosy expectancy. Will her hopes never
be realized? The chances are they will
not. The hard working old father
tolls early and late, spending all he
tiers, who sit in the parlor crocheting,
reading French novels and playing the
piano. Poor old dad is sure the girls
will marry we'll! He will have three
young, strong, a~ble-bodied sonsinlaw
to take care of him in his old age.
Mistaken expectations! He is living in
a fools paradise. 1t would be like
taking candy away from a baby. to
a hope away from him.
The single woman goes to live with
her married sister. She is earning a
fair salary and thinks she may as we'll
give board money to the family. The
nephews and nieces come to "Aunt
Sally with all their woes. And they do
not forget to bring their wants to her,
too. She is lever absent from her en-
%ployment, but she is never able to leave
a dollar. There is always something
doing in the want line. She is delight
ed to grant their little WhinS. In bank
ing on their love and gratitude in the
future, she is living in a FOOLS paradise.
Her awakening comes when she finds
that her life is wholly. apart from
theirs. She cannot support herself with
the dollars she has spent.
Mothers usually live in Il fools para
disc, but this is natural to motherhood,
it seems. They have glorious visions
of fame and fortune, wealth and hap
piness for every one of their offspring
who sits about the family board. If
Tommy is too fond of wine when he is
grown to manhood. she makes excuses
in her heart about wild OATS etc.
She is sure he will turn over a new
leaf and turn out to be the flower of
the family. Pretty daughter Mary,
whom she has INDUCED to the point OF
spelling her, and who, she is quite
sure. will marry a great titled noble
man, falls in love with a wood chopper
and marries him. SO on all along the
line of n%opefuls. Thus bubbles of hope,
n after the other, burst. But she
fools paradise.
The arrogant son of a millionaire
lives in a FOOLS paradise if he thinks
he can get any girl he looks at. He
wakes up when he finds that the hand
some, sturdy young mechan has
beaten him all to a FRAGILE in loves
race.
Yet jewellers in FOOLS paradise ar,
always happy.
