(A story that would melt a heart of stone.) Tessie took off the sleeping Policeman's shoes and tickled his toes. Why he should be thus resting on the promenade she did not know and we can't explain it. However, that is neither here nor there. He was sleeping on the sidewalk and Tessie con- sidered it an insult. Tne first tickle did not bring any noticeable response, but the next one caused a twitching of the third toe, or actomobilus practimobilus. A few more tickles and the man awoke. “Where am 1?" he asked. Tessie stepped behind a post ené made a noise like a wood- pecker. “The drums of fate!” said the Policeman. He stood up but did ot dare pace his beat with one shoe off. Of course it would fave a certain amount of shoe leather, but strange as it may seem, the Police Department does not want its patrolmen to appear for duty barefooted. “Ah, well!” said the man, as he put his shoe on. A dark form slipped into view from around a corner. Robberies had been frequent jn that district “Dear Dud—I and the wife are going to see that Dudley Day is the biggest thing New York ever knew.
