Liquor Craft Headed This Way.
Say Agents, Who Hold Two
as Advance Guard

All ships of the prohibition navv
are on the alert to-day, plying the
fringe of the twelve-mile limit and
scanning the southern horizon for
craft expected to bring deal of
whisky from Cuba, Nassau, the Ba-
hamas and points South. The extraor-
dlnary alertness or the always alert
rum navy boats resulted from radios
sent out yesterday from prohibition
headquarters following the arrest of
George Shevlin and Morris Swcetwood
Shevlin, who gave his address as 112
West Seventy-second Street, and Sweet
wood, who said he lived at 215 West
Nlnety-first Street, were taken off the
Ward liner Siboney when it arrived

her husband, but was not arrested.

Bedtime Stories
Temptation Overcomes Prudence
By Thornton w. Burgess
The prudent turms q deafened ear
Whene'er he finds the tcmpter near.
-Reddy Fox.

Ever since he was little fellow
just starting out in the Great World
this little saying has been known by
Reddy Fox. Granny Fox taught it
to him, and over and over she
charged him never to forget it. Reddy
never did forget it. But he didn't al
ways heed it. That was the trouble;
he. didn't always heed it.
1t popped into his head as he lay
In the tall grass behind some bushes
up by Farmer Browns house and
counted the Ducks in a little wire
pen just in front of him. Never in
all has life had he been more tempted
than he was right then.
1t would be no effort at all to Jump
over that little low wire fence, seize
one of those young Ducks by the
neck, swing him over his shoulder
and jump out again. No, sir, it would
be no effort at all.
But it would@be foolish thing to
do. Reddy knew that. It might get
him into no trouble at all, but on the
other hand it might get him into
great deal of trouble. If there had
been nobody but himself to think of
Reddy wouldn't have hesitated an
instant. But over in the Old Pasture
were four young Foxes, four chill
oIen OF Whom Reddy was very proud.
They were just big enough to begin
to learn the lessons to fit them to live
in the Great World. Getting into
trouble himself might get them into
trouble.
Reddy thought of this as he lay
watching those Ducks. Had he really
needed one of those Ducks for food
it would have been a very different
matter, but he didn't. He knew he
didn't. There was no trouble these
summer days in getting all he needed
to eat. He didn't need one of those
Ducks, but he wanted one. My, how
he did want one!
Prudence warned him to leave those
Ducks and hurry home. He had
found out what he had wanted to
know. He had found out how many
there We're, and how big they were,
and just where they were kept. That
was all he had wanted in the first
place. 1t was all he had intended
to do.
But now that he was here and il

March OF this year and of staying with

rest OF the time she was inside the

curiosity about them. 1t was not
until March %, when she read of Cas-

giggling, added: "I tried to see, Cas-,

Long Island. I thought it must be
some mistake. When / saw him later

Mrs. Stevens said that life was too
monotonous for her with her husband,

Man Warns of His Pull.
But Court Fines Him $25
Bowery Landlord Threatens
Policeman in Dispute
Over Sidewalk

When Peter Cappell found himself in
jam with Patrolman Thomas M.
Mitchell. of Traffic A, he told Mitchell
that he would use his pull with the
Police Department to break him. But
Cappell's belief in his pull was sadly
jolted in the Tcmbs court yesterday
morning when Magistrate McGeehan
fined him $25.
Cappell owns building at 70 and 70
bowery, and he objected to the pres
ence on the sidewalk of light delivery
wagon. Because of the heavy traffic at
this point drivers are permitted to
leave their vehicles standing partly on
the sidewalk for short spaces of time
and when Mitchell explained this regu-
lation to Cappell the landlord became
unruly, Mitchell told the court.
Cappell accused the patrolman of
discourtesy and several other things.
Magistrate McGeehan, with one eye on
the three merit bars which Mitchelrs
uniform displays, named the fine, which
Cappell paid.

would be such an easy matter to steal
one of those Ducks he wanted one
of them. The temptation to catch
one was very, very great. 1t was SO
great that it became harder and
harder to listen to prudence.
cone, two, three, four, FIVE, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven" counted
Reddy again. "I don't believe one
of those Ducks would be missed. 1t
is SO long since have tasted a Duck
that I have almost forgotten what
one tastes like. I'll never have
better chance to get one than right
now. No one will ever know who
took it. There is no danger at all.
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy are down in the cornfield. l don't
know where Bowser the Hound is, but
he isn't around here. l can get away
with one of those Ducks and no one be
the wiseE. 1t is foolish not to make
the most of such an opportunity. 1t
may be long time before I will get
another"
So little by little Reddy Fox yielded
to temptation and forgot prudence.
He began to study those Ducks so
as to pick out the plumpest. He
planned just where he would take it
when he had caught it. Then he
started to crawl nearer to that pen.

Rather Than Tell on Pals
Youngster, Held for Selling
Narcotics, Says They Would
Call SSim Graf,

Tony Cortef, fifteen years old, of 33e
East 112th Street, proved in the Chill
dren's Court yesterday before Justice
Cornelius Collins that his tender years
had not prevented his gaining 8 com
plete education in the crooks code.
The court asked the boy to name the
men or women who had engaged him to
sell narcotic drugs in the street, as
charged. He was promised clemency,
and was told that the court understood
it was the evil influence Of older per-

"I'll take my medicine" replied the
boy. II will not tell you anything. If
