grasped the hand holding the gun at
his chest, and gave it such a quick
Jerk that the weapon fell to the floor.
The fight was on. Both Currie and
myself started to assist him, but Bart
ley called to Us to watch the chauf-
feur. 1 picked up the revolver and
covered the man.
1t was not a long fight, and Bart
ley soon had his antagonist sub
dued. AS he dragged him to his feet,
and began to search him, he stopped
with an amused cry. On the mans
vest was little badge
"Why didn't you tell US you were a

The man, his face red with rage,
answered, "Why in HI should ~
BARLEY explained who he was. and
the detective was delighted at the en-
counter. After we had given him
back his gun and helped him brush
himself off, he seated himself on a
box, saying, 81 will say you work
quick, Mr.. Barley"
We grinned at this. We were much
relieved to find that he was a detec-
tive. and not one of the gang engaged
in running whisky. He told US that
he was in the revenue department and
had been watching Sykes house for
some time, or 1 should have said,
rather. his chauffeur's. He had given
him the slip and he had been search
ing for him already. He had encoun-
tered him about ten o'clock and had
been trailing him ever since. When
the chauffeur had come to the vault,
he had waited for him outside; then
the door had swung open and he had
seen q chance to capture what he
thought was the gang.
He pointed at the chauffeur and
said. That's the chap, believe, that
killed Slyke."
In TO this time the chauffeur had
not said q word. His face turned
white with rage, and he cried, you
lie" and would have taken the de-
tective by the throat If BARLEY had
not prevented him.
BARLEY and the detective, whose
name was Black, decided that the
hest thing to do with the chauffeur
was to place him in the hands of the
notice When Black learned that the
voult was nlled with whisky, he asked
Rortlev TO remain and help him guard

he seemed to fear that the rest OF the

More and More-Er-

Mrs. John Barrymore said at a din
ner on the Mauretania:
"Woman's dress grows more and
more-er-more and more less.
"a pretty girl In a wisp of silver
gauze that she called a dinner gown,
sauntered into her mothers bedroom
before going down to dinner.
81 do wish you'd dress more mod

But, mother said the pretty girl,

come. That's what Ben Monk OF
that village found out In justice
court this afternoon. It seems as
though Monk had used language OF
undue force on w. c. Bicknase of a
Welcome bank one day early last
week. The language was such that
It would hardly do to report it In
a public newspaper.
The alteration arose when Monk
was ordered to pay up some notes
which the bank held. He came into
the bank fiourishing a check book
and stating that Mr. Alexander had
told him he could draw over his &C
count as much as he wanted to. In
the argument that followed one word
led to another until Monk began
employing the use Of epithets not
usually employed in the best regu
lated families.
After Justice Nelson had found
the defendant guilty, Frank Dough
erty, representing Monk, asked per-
mission to file an appeal, which was
granted.
Another action against Monk
which charged him with assauIting
Bicknase was dismissed on mo-
tion by the state. Monk Immediately
swore out warrant for Bicknase
charging him with also using abu-
siys and profane language.
