FIRE BOX HAUNTED'

A good story is being told at the
expense of one OF the new policemen

g. shortly after midnight when
ghosts" are supposed to saunter
around, the officer started to place
his key in the police box. when the
fire alarm began ringing.
Counting the taps OF the bell he
found that the report was from Box
3, where he was standing. Hastily
glancing around and seeing no one
in sight. the officers nerve failed him
and as the bell began ringing again
the scared cop darted across the
street, took refuge behind a tele-
phone pole where he could watch
the box in safety.
Hearing the alarm the sergeant on
that district hurried to the corner.

Where is the fre?"
There amt no fire. sergeant" re-
iponded the cop, the dern thing is

! The alarm proved false, having
been sent to the police station over

operator, but the opportunity was
afforded the sergeant TO explain the
system to the new policeman in a
manner that he will not suspect
ghosts hereafter when a fire alarm
is mysteriously sounded.
