The men-gathered In groups about the police station looked up and laughed. Lieutenant Murphy, at the desk, shpok his head. “You old. Tin)? Never! Just ns young as the dny you Joined the force —31 years ago ... a hr!degroom of two days." “ *N’ Molly ’n’ me didn’t take a honeymoon for eight years . . . when, the little tad was just a year old.” He sat down heavily and refused ,a proffered tin of tobacco. As Mulligan was about to leave. Lieutenant Murphy called to him: “Better see a doctor, Tim. VVe can’t afford to lose Tim Mulligan after 31 years of duty. You want to think about Molly too. and the little fad.” Tim Mulligan smiled and swung his night club jauntily. “Just you quit your worryin’ about me. Faith, and I’m younger than all the rest o’ you. ’Night.” Murphy laid down his pen and strolled over to a group of officers. “I say, fellows, have you noticed anything wrong with Mulligan? He’s been actin’ queer lately." “We noticed It—hut he won’t talk about It Says he’s all right I met Molly In the grocery store yesterday and she looked as If she had been cryln’. Rut when I told her she looked younger than she did 20 years ago, she said I’d been kissing the blarney stone. A fine woman, Molly Mulligan." "What’s the kid doing now?” asked Koestlng ns he bent over and tied Ills shoe. “Hope he makes them proud of him. They sacrificed a lot to give him an education.

Two detectives drowsed in an adjoining office, chairs tipped hack against.the wall. Outside, Cohen, the driver, whistled softly as lie sprawled on the front seat of the patrol wagon. Then came the harsh ring of the bell, and everyone was galvanized Into action. Cohen came to the door and awaited orders.

The men grouped themselves about the desk as the prisoner was brought In, Oohen on one side. Mulligan, strangely old and white-faced, on the other. He was scarcely more than a boy—the prisoner—dressed in clothes of the latest mode, a tweed cap pulled at a rakish angle over his ear, a cigarette between his fingers. They Stationed him before the desk. “Take off that hat!”' snapped Tim Mulligan. The young man looked up quickly and obeyed. “One got away,” said Mulligan shortly. “I was patrolling Falrvlew when the machine run into the oil station. I heard the attendant call out once, as this one," with a jerk of his thumb towards the prisoner, “got out They were there last week, y’ know. He plugged him . . . through the leg . . . hospital’’ He was speaking jerkily. as 1 ran op . . . then drove off. This one turned . . . V I beat him to-the draw.

The boy had been watching him closely,' twtsttnff the (Tapper tweed cap between his hands. Koesting brought a glass of water but Mulligan refused It. “I’ve been layin’ for these fellows. Knew I’d get ’em sooner or later. This one Is a bad one . . . he don’t care . . . for nobody . . . but himself. He’d, kill his . . . own folks ... to get away . . .” He turned and walked slowly to the detectives’ office and let himself down into an arm chair. Lieutenant Murphy opened the book on the desk, and picked up his pen. “Well, Tim," he said slowly, “anything to say for yourself? I’ve been on the force many years but this Is the hardest thing I have ever done ... to put Tim Mulligan's little tad behind the bars. You have killed something tonight. You have killed the spirit In your father’s heart. His little tad . . .’’ “Make It snappy, lieutenant. I’ve got it cornin’, I guess, but I didn’t think the old man would take me In.
