' Some felly's been makln' throuble rr himsilf." he said, 'an' ft me. "Tis i sha-ame that he sh'u d tx so lackin' in sinse as to shpoll a po-llsman's r-rest be commlttln" a cr-rime." Be found a well-dnss I. prosperous, looking man closeted with the caplain, and the latter lost no time In explaining the nature of the business In band "Flynn." he said, "this Is Mr. Baxter, whose confidential clerk defaulted a few weeks ago. and has be n in hiding ever since the shortage was BacOTied. You remember the case. Df course W.U. Mr Haxter has just received reliable information that the man s . :et ly returned to his home last night, and is there now. Here's I warrant for his arrest, and I don't want you to come back without him. Mr Baxter will go with you to identify him." Policeman Flynn took the warrant and turned to Mr. Paxter. "A despicable crimo." commented Ihr latter, bitterly. "He had been with me for years, and 1 always had t NM his friend. I trusted him Implicitly" "F'r sure." said Policeman Flynn. but without any enthusiasm. Then, is he picked up a pair of handcuff.-, he aided: "Tis best to take th' hraeehts along, f'r they ma-ay be

handy. A carriage was waiting, and as Flynn and Mr Haxter r.V. 1 along the latter voiced his indignation. "You can't trust anybody these j

days," he asserted The yorng men are utterly unreliable. They all want to live beyond their means, and in order to do it they naturally have to use another man's money. It's the aee of high living and consequent defalcations." "Mebbe 'tis so." assented Policeman Flynn. "but there do be la-ads I've thought was honest " "Honest when there'a nothing they ran steal." grumbled Mr. Baxter. "Why. I taught this young fellow all that he knows about business I gave him his training and you'd think that gratitude alone would make him faithful to me." "Sure ye w'u'd." admitted Policeman Flynn. " Tis a fine thing. Is

gratichude. whin ye don t ha-ave f r to feed a fam'ly on It." Yr Baxter's indignation did not periiit him to note the sentiment underlying this remark. 1

"I have advanced him steadily," he went on. "and with Increased r sponslbllitles I have given him more money until at the time he stole from me he was recelvlns $Sio a year, and I Intended to make It $850 next year."

"Eight hundred dollars a year." re-1 peated Policeman Flynn, reflectively, "an' lv course ye thrusted hlra with money." "Certainly. He's had as much as $13.ui'u or 120,000 in cash ia his keep-

"An' ye gie him $800 a year," said Polb-eman Flynn again, as he thoughtlessly jangled the handcuffs in his po( k t "Don't do that"' exclaimed Mr. Baxter. Irritably. "It annoys me."

"She was a fool," asserted Mr. Baxter, although the story had not interatad him particularly in BOO sequence of his preoccupation "R ight ye are." acquiesced Polleo man Flynn. "Whin t is nicissary to thrust food to a ma an. ye sh'u'd bei him flr-rst. Ye can't ixpbt a hungry ma-an f'r to shtay hungry whin they 's food undher his BOM ." Then, after a pause, he added, thoughtfully: " Tis a shtrange thing'" "What's a strange thing?" asked Mr. Baxter. "I was thinkin' ye nlver hear iv anny If me frl'nd J.

" Tis not ft me to pass Judgmint on thlm that vi'lates th' laaw. only th' idee comes to me well, nlver mind' F'r why sh'u'd a po-llsman be botherin' with idees anny how?" Mr. Baxter looked at him sharply, and then turned away. Flynn's words and mannr annoyed him. but the offense commltt d. if any, was intangible, and nothing was to be gained by engaging in a dispute. So he look"! at the buildings they were passing and kept silent until Flynn nervously jangled the handcuff.- aain, when he again protested Irritably. " 'Tis onlntlntlonal." apologized Policeman Flynn. "There do be times whin I r-reach f'r thim sort iv nat'rallike." The fugitive was found In the little fiat he had occupied with his wlf and child, but the arrst was not mail" without trouble The jKdlceman on the boar was stationed at the rear entrance to prevent escape that way. but it proved to be an unnecessary precaution.

Brushing past the woman who opened fhe door be was on the fugitive's back before the latter had taken half a dozen step-?. They went to the floor together, while the woman screamed and then began to pommel and scratch Flynn. In a trice, however, he had the handcuffs on hla prisoner, and as they rose the woman ruratel a little, although her eyes still flashed defiance and anger. During the struggle Mr. Baxter had stood In the doorway, trembling with excitement and anxiety lest the man should escape. Now he crb-d, exultIngly: "You've got hlml You've got him' That's the man!"
