THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES .. TRAcEWELE. Errl

II he knew, no doubt he would have
been . policeman long time ago.
As 1t y, Templeton Jones is generally
regarded as o "highbrow."
Years ago that term was contemptu-
Gus, but today matters have chanaed
somewhat, 20 that to be called thigh
brow today Is merely q matter Of
In average hands, It means nothing
more than q great reader. man who
well, q man who somehow has an
idiotic preference for q book over q
shotgun, or fishing tackle, or maybe
even over q radio.
OF course. 1t isn't . crime to like
books any longer.
Once there was real suspicion directed
against the person who professed to
care overly much for the printed word
between covers.
Today all that is changed. A love for
reading is regarded as merely an amia-
pie weakness, II it attracts any atten-
ton at all, for all men read nowadays
novels.
Not all Of them get their novels
printed, OF course, but most of them
wrlre EN- Just the same. Because some
one said, did he not, that every man has
at least one novel in his life?
Every one has heard that statement,
ana every one believes 1t evidently.

It Is fashionable In fiction to portray
boys at odds with the ofacers Of the
law.
The truth Is that many boys. real
poys, TOO, never have the slightest un-
friendly contacts with the police.
Tnere Is q certain contingent Of the
Juvenile population, now as always,
which respects the laws, even the
slightest, and therefore never puts itself
LII bad odor with the police.
Members OF this group grow to man
hood without ever knowing q cop per-
sonally, or even speaking to one.
Orten enough, the members Of this
group find themselves in peculiar mem
tai situation In regard to the worthy
ohcers OF the law. They discover that
the attention Of a policeman fastened
upon them gives them an uneasy SEN
sationl
This feeling on the part Of the per-
fectly blameless upholders of the laws
can be attributed to nothing more seri-
Gus than the queer mental uuirk in
human nature, whereby the guiltless
often manifest some Of the popular signs
generally attributed to the guilty.
It always had seemed to Jones that
the real task Of those who aim to see
that justice Is done would be to differ
entiate these two classes accurately In
this respect.
The guilty would be "as bold as an
licn," as the proverb puts 1t, but the
righteous would flee when no man pur-
sueth."
The very idea, suddenly acquired by
a good man, that some one-any one
held him in suspicion would Of itself be
enough to make him wear a very guilty
look.
The guilty, on the other hand, hard
ered by past experiences, have no diff
Guilty whatever in putting up grand
bluff, bluff no less because masters at
the art Of detection know, beyond rea-
sonable doubt, that the attitude is q
bluff and nothing more.

Just how it came about he could not

officer, Q man with q great sense Of
humor, stopped one day as Jones was
standing on the corner and began to
tell Joke.
Jones was bit startled at FIRST, not
knowing but that he might be arrested
for some utterly unknown crime, but
as soon as he realized that the offlcer
was accosting him simply as human
being, he unbent his usual reserve and
began to enjoy the situation to the ut
most.

Here he was, on friendly footing with

Thereafter he was more than careful
to look in the direction of his new

hope that the fellow would give him q

great national game, except In rudi-

child, he had to do the best he could.

angry when anger was called for, smil-
ing when smiles seemed on the bill of
fare.
A poker face did not come natural to
him, as the saying has 1t.
