doughty sergeant, for 1t was upon that
occasion that his conscience al
lowed him to accept little marks Of
appreciation.
"Hey, there, sergeant" generally
prefaced the bestowal of something In
the shape o. gift.
ats duty I have to attend to all
night long," he told his wife. "They
say there's a regular band of burglars
on the move"
Now two problems Of fate were TO
work out strange series of circum-
stances, in the Christmas eve events
appertaining to the redoubtable SER
geant. The first was that the little
town Jail had burned down the week
previous. The second was that new
family had moved to town early in De-
cember. comprising the Waynes-fath-
err, mother, charming daughter Of
seventeen and three young children.
AS Moore passed their place he noted
that it was all dark, the family prob
ably absent at some local entertain
ment, and he caught the echo of
sound resembling the tipping over Of
a piece of furniture. Then from an
open window form protruded.
Burglars p muttered the sergeant,
and made a dash for the presumable
despoiler.

at the protrudlng pocket of the young
man.

who live here"
"Oh, yes, very particular friends!
Cordially invited you to break into the
house at any hour of the night! And
ths-a new mulfler and pair OF
gloves. Say, you come with me-" and
the sergeant marched his captive from
the spot.
IF you'll only let me explain"
pleaded the young man, but Moore was
deaf. blind to all but duty. Fifteen
minutes later the captive found him
self locked into stone cellar, and the
sergeant handed its key to his wife,
saying:
you might pass in jug of water
and a plate of bread to my catch
through the window; it's got no sash
to it. I'll drop around again soon."
The young man in retirement was
pacing about in the dark and anathe'
matizing his officious captor when Mrs.
Moore timidly approached the window.

food" she said, $50 you won't suffer"
