Ultli meadow and haycocks and low-

Congress street entrance and through
one of tho vacant arches Into the
gaming room. All the tables were
there. The checks were atacked
high In the racks and the croupiers
behind them were waiting for tho
late afternoon players. The squad
seamed to be In command of one of
the one-armed veterans for leading

The constabulary of Meohnnlovlllo
were not prepared for any such re-
ception as this and they began to
look uncomfortable. Constable Walsh
canted over on one leg and the ten
constables shitted about uneasily.
Finally. WaUh recovered enough to
say:
"Well Mister Canfleld. I allow
you're somewhat different from what
I expected but business la business
and I spose I must serve this 'ere war-
rant and put you under arrest. You
ain't co'iductln' a lawful business."
"Don't let ir Interfere In the
slightest degree with vour duty." said
Canfleld. "Permit me to accept Uie
warrant. My life would grow
monotonous without being arretted
every other day or so."
' "Now I hope thore won't be no hard
feellns'" said Walsh. "We're Just
doln' our duty and now I guess we
must be tfoln'."
Canileld walked to the door with
his visitors they ovldently having
forgotton nil about tnktng any of the
tnbloa or "checkers" with them. As
the cons'ablee were nbout to descend
