Lakeland, Fla MULVIHILL, THE COP By CLARENCE L. CULLEN. _——————————————— (Copyright.) After picking up the kidlet and car- rying him across the street, complete- ly disregarding the clutter of automo- biles and trucks lined uy expectantly on both sides, the traffic cop, before giving the arm wave to the waiting' ones to come ahead, studied his hands as it he had never seen them before. “I don’t get it whether 'm a nut or not,” he said to me when I, slid alongside of him on the little “island of safety.” “But every time I git the feel of & young 'un’s paw in my mitt I feel like jumpin’ post and racin’ back to the dump where there's a snipe belongin’ to me that I'm bugs to git acquainted with, it ever I git the chanct.” “Meaning?” said L. Mulvihill was a handsome, trig young cop, with a good army record behind him. “Meanin’,” replied Mulvihill, the cop, “that there's a imitation o' me up at the flat that I'm goin’ to git buldies with and cultivate one o' these nights when I'm not down for reserve jooty THE EVENI “I opened up the shawl and took s slant, but that didn't git me nothin’.

Just like that. PBut it doesn’t stop at the | eyes. The snooper is there with the same beak, the same gash in the lower part of the map, the same hemp on top of the bean—all of the stuff that I'm four-flushin’ around with. Queer gag, ain't it? How d'ye figger it out?” “I don't,” I replied, choosing a safe end of it. “But would you know the plece of small change, Mulvihill, it you were to meet him on the street?” The cop grinned sheepishly. “Quitcha kiddin’,” he sald depre- catingly. “Are you hep to that break I made before they made me a traffic peg, or what are youse tryin’ to ease into me?” “Never guilty, but give me a scena- rio of the sketch,” I said. “All right,” the trafic cop replied with a grin. “I'll dish it over to youse. But nix on the haw-haw stuft when I finish. I got enough o' that noise already. “It was when I was on the One- Hundred - and - Twenty - Fifth - Street trudge,” said the cop. “There was on'y two blocks to that beat, but if you're talkin' in the old world to— But I'll tin that ramblin’ thing. Lem- me git down to the giggle number.” “Yes,” I advised. “I need a happy ending, and quitk.” “That beat,” picked up Mulvihill, “covered two blocks of the liveliest busin~ss that— Say, you're hep to it that I s*vod up and had the bell, book, and candle thing pulled or me about this time last year, ain’t you?” “Meaning that you were married,” I helped him along. “Yes, I knew that.” “Oh, you knew i, hey?” said the cop. “Well, that'll help a little, but not much. You knew, too, then, that I was humpin’ that One-Hundred-and- Twenty-Fifth-Street beat until las’ month?” “Having stopped to talk there with you every night, yes,” I replied. “And the answer is—what?” “Nothin’, just yet,” replied the cop. “I'll ease it to you in a minnit, and then you'll roll around on the pave- ment and dish me up more of that hoot stuff than I'll be able to stand. The start is, then, that this 12-pound bogus of me hopped along about three | months ago. All o’ the wimmin folks | sald he was a ringer for me. It lis-' tened pretty good, but I couldn't see | it. “This guy had no more hair than a new cucumber, and he was that red that if I caught myself blushin' that | away I'd hep up right away that apo- | plexy was givin’ me a run for the ! wad, and get fixed out for a quick cash-in. They told me it was all right for a new one to look red like that; | but I couldn't get used to it. “Back, now, to that post in the business district of One Hundred and | Twenty-fifth street where, until they switchrd me down here, I pounded[ the flags every day and did the best I could to keep anybody from snitchin’ | on me. “There's a big department store on | that beat where, when the wimmin | with babies kite along, they can check | the kids and leave 'em in charge of trained nurses while they pick up their | skirts to do a stampede on the bargain counters. “That baby-checking department is where I got in so Dutch that every ) time I look at myself in the glass I want to put on a pair of cheaters so that I won't know myself. “l was passin’ by that department store one night about six weeks ago, ' doin’ the final brick pound before ringin’ meself into the station, when the watchman of the plant, a gink I knew, steps out of the main entrance holdin’ a bundle in his arms. “‘Look what I got f'r youse,’ said the watchman. ‘Take this some wheres, and you got nothin’ t' do till tomorrow.’ “Then he dropped the squawker right into my arms, and there was nothin’ to it. He had shifted the re- sponsibility for a live one on to me, | and how to take care o' the package ! was up to me. | | sweeping the whole range of vision. “Well, I turn the lost little duster in at the desk and git a receipt for him and drill back to the rear room to ! pound the ear for my eight hours off, when, just as I'm dubbin’ along to the doze thing, I kcar a squeak out in the ’ front, at the sergeant’s desk, that sounds familiar. “I sift quick into the duds and race to the front o' the house, and there’s the matron, that had taken the little red bundle from me when I come, easin’ the package into the arms o ny wife, and the wife boohooin’ out of her face, fit to make anybody married to her offer all the coin he has in the kick or ever expects to make if she'll only quit it and wipe her eyes off with the end of a epron. “Yes. Ycn win, bo! The kid was mine. The wife, in checkin’ him, had gone oft to another bargain counter stampede and fcrgot to git back before the store where the kid was anchored closed up for the night “Ilow’s tha.?

But at the same time, these Killarneys are beauties, too, and I do love pink roses” Into the center of the exquis-: ite flowers went Theodora's face. “Botheration,” she exclaimed an- grily, “why must my night be pes- tered with these two who have been with me the whole blessed day? Now, , I have their pesky flowers to choose | between.” No cards had come with ! the two corsages, but intuitively Theo dora bad attributed each to the prope: sender. “If I wear the red roses Jimmy will be camping on my trail the entire: blessed evening, and it I wear the| Killarneys Don will come to me tho! very first thing with that almost pos | sessive smile he wears when I've been ! unusualiy nice to him before Jlmmy‘ll very eyes.

But I'll wear it any 1 way. I do hope auntie and the rest of the chaperon brizade won't think I'm quite out of my mind.” And catching up a bespangled scarf that Jimmy had once compared to a diamond-studded cloud, Theodora, to use her own expression, collected aun- tle, and the two made their way to the veranda outside the large living room, where the orchestra was play- ing the first waltz. A masculine form, evidently on the lookout, approached at once. “May I have the first dance, Ted- dy?” asked Donald Cunningham. “Surely,’ 'sald Teddy, looking up at him with her sweetest smile. “Why not?” she asked herself. “I'm weare ing his roses as well as Jim’s.” “I do hope it will be Donald Cun- ningham.

A city man, who owing to a business | deal was cbiged to live for some time in a small reilroad town, fre- quently felt the need of excitement. Once, when he was really depressed with the monotony of his life, he saw a wildly excited crowd gathered on a vacant lot. Prominent citizens were there hopping up and down, gesticulat- ing and shouting, and he felt that the ' unexpected had happened and some- thing was doing. He rushed to the lot and gasped out: “What's the mat- ter?” “Matter!” shouted a rampant citizen. “Matter? Why, we are go- ing to hive a swarm of bees.”—The Argonaut. A Reservist's Revenge.

Suddenly auntie spied Teddy’s corsage, in sharp contrast to the white chiffon frock. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed aghast, “what ever possessed the child?” Quite overcome, she sank into the nearest rocking chair. In the meantime the wearer of the red and pink roses was blissfully un- conscious of her relative’s consterna- tion. Teddy was having the time of her life—with only one thing to mar the pleasure of being the belle of the hop. Jimmy had taken only one dance to Don's eight. Not that Teddy was lacking in partners, but she wondered not a little at the unusual- | mess of it all and down in her heart of hearts were the coals of rebel- lion. “Wish I hadn't worn his roses” she was thinking, and at this june- ture the ever self-possessed Jimmy put in an appearance. “My dance, I think, Teddy.
