Reluctant as ever to exploit their Ibecomtns characteristics ,yea. delicate la a point of reticence, unbelievable as that may seem, they will coyly admit this tale if you approach them right. Not many evenings ago a dweller, .cfc In the lore of paper-back detective stories and nervous with the mental Ir. digestion of the apartment house resident, saw from the window of the oora he occupies in tlia rear of the tird floor, a light. This in itself Is jt-nusuaL all things considered. But at that it was a different lig-ht. It glimi x.iered with an erratic sense of conBtascy In the upper room cf a residence ).croos the street. The modern ciTe-dwe!icr watched I n light as it winked arid blinked !n
I th.a otherwise darkened house. Ills 'vivid Imagination pictured a gang of ! desperadoes ransacking1 the residence. Xaavicc hia own light burning he hurried out and to the street corner where i-e L'tew he should flr.d a policeman. It is one of the peculiar accomplish- , ar.9nis of this omniverar.t reader of tlood-and-thunder literature that he L&ovt exactly where he can find the r.aighcorhood patrolman on his beat at m'.y liour of the day or night.
In husky voice he recounted to the
fervid
pictured the ravishment of
the beautiful home. The copper stirred , jLUnsalf and walked to a place where , i:a cotild soe the - flash of the moving ' l.gtt In the blackened interior of the three-story residence. Then ha returned to the corner and called 13. Unlucky number.' That call broke tp a Dod pinochle' game. Ar.d ten cops were hustled into tUe patrol wagon , "whUa tha ajile chauSccr valuted to the i iriver'B seat. Like a terrified rabbit tb J ancient Buick patrol bounced Into ftha street, southbound. It took the Ho'nman street crossing ; Sr. three Jumps, hopped madl tyhroagh
tie still busy "business district" and eareened like a" golf ball through the sr aze of the Scutii Hohmaa street shell toles. "vvtat's this anyway, a riot call " grapd one of the cops as he shook off the reet cf the crowd that had fallen es hiia. "It will be a riot if the driver isa't ixore careful." said another. Th brave police laddies (Sremer. Han't seed to think they've got an option on "laddies'") finally arrived on did scene. Each man loosed hia club, looked at fcis revolver, ' tightened hia
dripper what he'd seen and with fe vocabulary pictured the ravishmen
All the ccps ran to the front door. It took the officer in charge five minutes to Ktraighttn things cut. ""A hat do you think you're doing." said th officer, mad like. "Do you think ' you re raiding a poker game?" By this time the light in the roero upstairs had disappeared. With the house well Ranked, the commanding officer and another policeman made search to discover how the thieves entered. They circled the building a couple of times and could find no cpeins.
Then the two went next door. A prominent manufacturer lives here. He c&tr.e to the door. He saw the two officers, "You are too late," he said. "No, really?" they both gasped. 'Yes." said the manufacturer. "We just finished the last of the Muscatel not twenty minutes ago." "Oh," said the policemen. Then "We Just wanted to inquire about the people next door. We got a call from a man who says he saw robbers upstairs with dark lanterns. He Bays there were three of them and they were taking the pictures off the walls." "Oh," said the manufacturer. Then "Well, those people next door go to
bed very early. Around nine o'clock I believe. They must be In bed now."
"Well," said the commanding officer, "I don't want to disturb thera If you think they are in bed. They must reed sleep if they co to bed so early. But I would like to know whether there la a crook in that house. I don't think the occupants would like to have all their belongings taken but if you think they are home and In bed I won't disturb them. Bye-bye." The manufacturer's wife Bays he raved all night lonar. She attributed this to the Muscatel. He says it wasn't the Muscatel but his conversation with the cops.
Well, howaomever, the two officers tip-toed back to the brave police lad
dies who were all leaning' on their
clubs and. holding np his hand, mo
