street subway station. l>uneaa Mc
Klnley. a real estate dealer, was stand
ins; on the uptown express pip t form of
the subway station. He had been
pushed around a good deal In the
crowd and had come to the conclusion
that oue man lu particular was doing
the pushing. He was naturally aJlttle
suspicious, as twice during the past
year he has had his pocket picked in a
trolley car.
After awhile be felt some one lifting
up his overcoat aud trying to get Into
