The Red Headed Policeman
+
[Copyright. 1S0S.)
One day as the red headed police
raau was pacing bis beat la a certain
American city of 100.000 Inhabitants "a
woman called to blm from the steps of
a house anil reported that soon after
daylight that morning, just ns she
bad awoke and was making ready to
get up, she had been frightened half
to death by the sight of a large mon
key at the open wlnodw. She had
screamed out, and the animal had fled.
Later In the day she had seen the
monkey frisking about on the roof of
the shed attached to the bouse next
door. Into which a stranger, who was
evidently a foreigner, had moved three
or four days before. He was a man
of middle age, and there was an old
woman with him, probably to act as
housekeeper.
"And I'm asking you, air," continued
the woman ns she raised her hand and
waved It to and fro, "If lfs the law In
America that a foreigner and an old
woman and a rascally monkey can
move iu nest door to a respectable
widow woman, who has paid taxes for
the last fifteen years, leaving the mon
key to run at large and scare people
out of "their seven senses?"
"It's an Italian, ma'am, who Is your
new neighbor." answered the police
man. "I was Jabbering with him the
day he reuted the bouse."
"Theu he's In the hand organ busi
ness?"
"Then he's not. ma'am. He's In the
count business. He's htul to fly from
bis sunny skies to save his life.
You ought to l>e proud that you bare a
live count llvlug next door."
Three or four days later the police
beard at the station to which he was
attached of a bold burglary In the
uei^h borbood. A burglar had entered
by u second story window and made a
hiiul of money uud Jewelry, and no
clew bud l>een left behind. This bur
glary was followed by another within
twenty-four hours, and then came
what the police and press called a
"wave" of crime, though It was strict
ly confined to despoiling private resl
deucvs. In some cases It was impossi
ble to tell how entrance bad been ef
fected. In others It was plain that an
0|kmi window was the route.
Of course the detectives Investigated,
and of course when no arrests follow
ed they got a roasting In the newspa
pers. it reached the point where the
chief of police was asked to resign as
a uian utterly unfitted for the place.
Iu return he bouuced two of his de
tectives because they could not pick
up clews where no clews had been
left. Then the red headed policeman
sat down to do some thinking. He
thought of many a thing before he fol
lowed the line down to the widow who
had told him about the monkey.
Then he beguu to scratch that red
hair and think the harder and finally
derided to take a walk around on
Sands str?tet and see If the count still
occupied the house. He reached the
honse of the widow first Again she
was standing on the steps. At sight of
him she descended to the walk and
?nld:
"So It's you. Is It? I've been wait
ing a whole week to ask you If It's the
habits of monkeys to go to bed like
honest folks at night and get up ct
a reasonable hour In the morning or
whethor they are philandering all over
town after midnight and coming homo
any time before daylight."
"In the wilds of Africa, ma'am"?
began the officer, but was Interrupted
with:
"But these are not the wilds of Af
rica. I've been dolnp some watching
for these last few moonlight nights. 1
didn't know but the Black Hand
would be coming for the count next
door. I've seen the monkey come and
go half a dozen times. He comes and
goes by way of the shed roof."
"And what of It. ma'am? what of
It?" asked the officer.
"I cau t say, sir, out it s a matter
that bothers me. 1 thought I'd speak
of it ami let It bother you."
It did bother the red headed police
man for the next hour. Then he con
sulted with his superiors, and as a re
sult two detectives were sent to Inter
view the count. They didn't succeed
In their purpose. He and the old wom
an had skipped out In a hurry an hour
before their arrival. People who had
seen them go said that they bad no
monkey along with them. Iu fact, the
animal was discovered on the roof In
the sunshine and fast asleep, but es
caped capture. It was felt certain that
he was the mysterious burglar, and a
watch was set on the premises. He
came not back, while during the next
ten nights there was a burglary every
ulght to mix things up agalu. Then a
boy solved the whole case.
Two blocks distant from where the
count had lived an old tomcat had
retired to a stable to die In peace,
in his wanderings tt? monkey had
come across him aud. being full of
sentiment, had sought to make the fe
line's last hours pleasant ones. He
bad continued to rob and plunder as
before, but had deposited everything
beside old Tom aud was a mourner
there when discovered and shot by the
red headed officer. More that $3,000
worth of stuff was found right there,
and, leaviug the respectable widow en
tirely out of It, the officer took on a
new and prouder look as he said to
himself :
"It pays for a policeman to have
thoughts. If I hadn't had 'em this
thing would never have happened, and
It might have been twenty years be
fore they made mo a roundsman."

Work in AUika
Most Alaska people work every day
in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over a desk? riding
on jolting wagons or cars? doing labor
ious housework; lifting, rescbing or
pulling, or trying the back in a hundred
and one different,, ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and injure
the kidneva until tbey fall behind in
their work ofjfiltering the poisons froze
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, ;put new strength in bad
backs?
W. H. Wood of 250 cottage St., Sa
lem, Ore., says: *'A good many years
ago i got badlv kicked by a mulo right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in on me
Also Injuring my back. Since then I
have had more or lean annoyance from
my kidneys. Change of weather caused
my back to ache and when I worked
hard It became so lame that I could
hardly straighten up after stooping. I
procured Doan's Kidney Pins at a drug
store and since taking them, although
I have continued to work hard and be
exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidney Pills act up to
representations made of tbem. I also
know of other people who have derived
Rrea; benefit from their use. I am glad
to let others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills for backache and kidney
trouble.
