New York.” The butler cam) in with a box. put the unsuspecting kitten in and nailed down the lid. What followed Is too confusing to tell. There was much rattling over rough streets, much jolting over j tracks, much shrieking of engines.,. much bumping against boxes At last | It wns over. The box was carried into a warm, softly lighted room. A child's ' voice was heard exclaiming: “For me! Why, I wonder what it can be.” A j tiny mew soon told her, and in a few minutes the kitten was out of Its prison and tightly snuggled tn the arms of a little girl A saucer of milk 1 was soon lapped up. and pussy's life in his new home began.

A Bold Hold-up Last Night CONTINUED r<GE ONE in an odd pocket thia morning, which the robbers had overlooked. Hardly less exciting the adventures of Dick Wilson,-also a construction man employed by the Erie railI road at Markle. He began work about I eight weeks ago an<> only last Saturi day he drew the wages due film, some I hundred dollars. He paid bis accounts ’ ' due. and having forty dollars left, ■ i started for Decatur to buy an ov>r-1 coat and a pair of trousers He rode ■ in on a freight and getting off at th« I water tank found a gang there. The , weather was cold and the gang invited him to share in some coffee, 'Which they had been boiling. Wilson says the coffee wag 'fixed," for he soon went to sleep, and when he awoke he was in a coal car going west, back to Markle. He only found eighteen dollars which was in a different place, and placing it back In his pbeket hoj seems to have fallen asleep, When he : again awoke he was laying along the right-of-way east of Uniondale and his money was gone. He believes he was robbed the second time, or else how would the money be missing if he had rolled out of the car, the sides 'of which are generally four feel high? He bails from Ruffalo, and gives good proof of his being a working I man He states where and how his money was spent and the sums practically agrse. • It seems that an organised gang at I yeggmen are operating np and down the Erie and are making the construetion men their especial prey. So many I robberlee In so short a time precludes any chance that they were only occa j •tonal occurrences, /but ft point*' strongly to a well Organised bunch of yeggs. Other robberies east and west of the city, of practically the same nature are reported dally. Routine Maters {Continued trom Page 1) The following bills were allowed fl Melchl I M.oo F.
