their card table, their chips, their
dice and fifteen dollars in small

however. broke up their game.
The police department had been

FOR several days had been watching
for offenders. Nothing was doing
during the day however, and the po-
lice began to think the reports were
unfounded.
1t was then that Fellows got an
idea. Following his line of thought
he walked slowly into Mayo Park
just at supper time and approached
the west side cautiously. Bounding
clump of bushes near the river he

time to approach, the men discover

feet one of them calmly kicked the
/ table, bearing dice, cards, chips,
money and all into the river.
The husky policeman glared at
them in disgust, gave them a sound
warning, accentuated by the shak =
ing of a brawny fist. then turned on
his heel and walked out of the park
empty handed. The gamblers look
