We of the police are constantly sub

a great misgiving welled up wltliiu uie.

L.lollK., she had worn at my coming.
An enormous coll of hair lay on the
tlresser. A box of brown dye stood ut
r,n ered before a mirror. The lady had
..us-ed out as her messenger.
I sprang downstairs and to the near
est telephone, where 1 confessed what
had occurred to the chief. He told uie
iliat lie would have the railway depots
watched, hut as a steamer was to sail
within an hour I had better go there
myself, since the culprit would be
more likely to get out of the country
than simply out of the city. 1 followed
his directions and proceeded without
delay to the dock.
I'nsseugers were beginning to arrive
i made a search of the ship, then took
; osiilon at the gangway, where I scrii
tlnh.cd every person who entered. I
sa" no one whom 1 considered could
possibly be my escaped prisoner. The
gangway was lieing withdrawn when
a carriage drove up hurriedly, the door
opened, and a fat woman wearing dark
spectacles jumped out. She was very
much excited, evidently for fear of
being left, sputtering French and wad
dllng to the gangway, which she
mounted as It was being withdrawn.
She was the last passenger to go
aboard, and when she had done so 1
went away with a heavy heart. 1
would be reprimanded by the chief
aud be the laughingstock of the rest
of the forte.
One day a cabman stopped me on the
street and asked:
"Cap, was you lookiu' for some one
to go out on the steamer last week';"
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
"Well. I drove the old Frenchwoman
to the ship. She was a young man
when she got In. Maybe she was the
one you was lookln' for."
Now, what I maintain Is that no man
could have got me Into this scrape.
Nor was I made a fool of In this case.
1 knew 1 had uo business to grant
what the woman asked. I granted It
because she compiled me to grant It.
Rut this did not save me from the con
sequences of my act.
