He strode for reformers ain’t what I'd call stayers,” he continued, sipping his tea with mel- ancholy satisfaction. “But, Dennis, maybe you'll be set! upon by them strikers,” suggested Nora, remembering the days when she had lain awake at night with men. tal images of her husband being way- laid by criminals, and trembling at every ring of the door bell. ‘It ain’t them guys I'm scared of,” retorted her husband. “It's me corns. 8idewalks is hard on corns—and a re- former in the street paving depart- ment, bad luck to the pair of ’em.” “But, Dennis,” suggested his wife, hopefully, “didn’t the doctor say your eyes wasn't fit for patrol duty and you'd have to do desk duty instead?” “That was Doc Flanagan, as good a Cork man as ever breathed. The new doc’s & Scotchman. I saw him yestid- day. I says to him my eyes isn’t what they used to be. °‘All the more| reason for you to give up desk work, | Flaherty,’ he answered. ‘Your eyes is as sound as the ace of spades,’ he says to me, after he'd put me through| my paces. So I guess it's the side- walks for me, Nora.” Ever since Patrolman Flaherty, in his earliest days, had walked into a dynamite explosion, averring that he ward with uplifted club. ’ “Stop that!” he yelled. “Stop right there, boys. The first man that sets his foot forward, I'll bate his brains out.” The old Irish accent had come back in full force with his excitement. '’ Dennis saw the men with the flags | halt irresolutely. The crowd surged backward and forward, and then, at a word of command from its leaders, advanced again. The men with the flags smiled coolly and contemptu-, ously, Dennis felt his wrath overcome his reason. He sprang forward and began clubbing right and left. He seized the nearest flag, The mob beat against him like an invading sea. A thousand voices clamored for his blood. The flag was wrenched out of his hand. He seized the staff again, struck right and left, was beaten to his knees, staggered under the terrific blows that were showered upon him; then the mob surged forward over his prostrate body. “Flaherty, the Cap’s waiting to see you,” said the man who was bathing his forehead. Dennis opened his eyes. The swim- ming room was the district police quarters. Then this battered, aching man on the cot must be himself, Den- had not seen the red danger flag, he had believed that his eyes were bad. True, they served him well enough at desk duty. But Doctor Flanagan had known Flaherty in the old country, and a word from him had brought “Stop That!” about the transfer. Now Flaherty was condemned to pound the side- walks, at the instance of the unsym- pathetic and reforming police commis- sloner, and there was no redress. However, he minded less than Nora. In spite of his ample girth he | considered himself well able to defendi the majesty of the law against the strikers, who, with flags flying and| bands playing, paraded the business section of the town daily. There were not enough police to preserve order. Citizens had been sworn in on special duty, and conflicts were frequent. “If I can’t do desk work I'll show ‘em they've got the best cop in town down at the quay, Nora,” he said to his wife at the end of the first day. “They've never put you on post down there!” exclaimed his wife in horror. The Quay was the name locally glven to the bridge which crossed the river between two factory districts. The strikers had constantly endeav- ored to cross it in parade, but each time they had been repelled. How- ever, on the morrow, as thev had pub- licly advertised, they meaut to march over the bridge in a grand procession to the city hall. And this the mayor had sworn they should not do. “There'll be n 1 a hundred of us, Nora,” S Flaherty. *] guess I can are of meself, wo man.” He felt * then ever of his uniform on ti t doy when, stand ing in a platoon in the lowe watched the mob forming section of the town. sound of” distant Fi tarted and frowned.

What have you to say?" “'Twas the strikers wid their red flags I fought, and alone,” cried Fla- herty. “Red flag!” snorted the commission- er. ‘Since when has the red flag been the symbol of Ireland’s glory, my man? That flag was as green as the emerald grass of Ireland.” ‘“'Twas as red as—as that!” cried Dennis, pointing to a tattered emblem in a corner of the room. ‘Begorra, that's the very flag!” yelled the captain. “He's drunk still, Commissioner.” “I think this is a case for Dr. Mc- Dermott,” said the commissioner smil- ing. “It's all right, my man,” he add- ed. “You can go home on sick leave now. I think, Captain, if McDermott agrees with my diagnosis, I may re voke my order concerning desk duty in this special instance.” “You see, Nora,” explained her hus- band afterward, “with every Irishman In town hungering for me blood— why, they thought a whole cop at the typewriter was better than twinty pleces of one making work for the street paving commissioner.” (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) T SRR S A War on Typhoid Fever, Once more the relation of typhold fever to the water supply has been demonstrated. During the flood of some weeks ago the Hudson river at Albany, N. Y., rose a foot above the | city flitration beds, and the people re- ceived the untreated water of the riv- er, contalning the sewage of places | upstream. An outbreak of typhoid fol- lowed, and it was found that 75 per cent. of the cases were in families | where the warning to boil the water for drinking had not been heeded. The main reservoir was then sterilized chemically, and the typhold ceased. Modern medicine has done great things In making preventable what in other days were reckoned to be the visitations of God. Our grandfathers wondered at the prevalence of ty- phoid after floods, but we know that the trouble comes from the. ntami- nation of water supplies, and so lives are saved where once human beings - were doomed. Year by year the scl- ence of eanitation is re: from typhoid. Ignorance Is Bliss., Manuel Quezon, the Philippine dele- gate to the United States congress, and the first man always to appear in white clothes upon the floor of the' 'zr_m;e, went to New York recently. ! WVhile there he was introduced to “harles Murphy, chairman of the New York state Democratic organization, ind grand sachem of Tammany hall. Now, Manuel's last name is pro- ounced “Ka-zon,” and Mr. Murphy hought it something else. THe mis- ake was to Quezon's advantage, for ‘veryone in Tammany hall nowl uows him as Manuel Casey. ’ wg ™ e | Security Abstract & Title Compan well water and double distilled. QUALITY.
