In an Introductory note the au thor Bays: It is a known fact that in the secrecy of the back room and in the cells of the New York precinct sta tian, many unheard of prutallties oc cur. The incidents and facts used In this story have been drawn from my own personal experiences as an 'mbulance surgeon in New York. In the story a thief known as the jRat who has already served two terms in the penitentiary, Is discov ered by a Young Cop asleep under a baker's window. The policeman raps the soles of his feet with a club and as The Rat Jumps up threaten ingly the Cop slashes him a terri ble blow across the cheek with the weighted nfgh)t Btdek the Rat Is iaken to the station houBe and Dr. Adams Is sent for. The story con tinues. "The Itat sat huddled on a chair, his 'face ref ith "blood. ' Some 11 guardians of the Commonwealth stood about in their shirt sleeves. Doctor Adams opened his bag and anked for a basin of warm water. The Rat was dazed and little heed ed the words of the worthy Doctor who ordered him to keep his head on one side. So the kindhearted dis- clpe ot medicine Jammed The Rat'B head back, hitting the wall with a thud. A knife of pain shot through The Rat's head, Jie ' felt a sensation of choking and saw the flickering gas light far away through blood-dim med eyes. He did not know the rea son why; he only knew he suffered that he wanted air, that he was hun gry. So he tried to rise from the chair. Look out, he may have a knife hid cried the doorman. Three Cops rushed forward but Ad ams dropped his needle and silk worm gut and with a yell hit The Rat on the point of the chin. Put him away that , time, laughed the Burgeon. Then the doctor finished his work It is much easier to Btuture deep laceration when the patient Is un conscious. ' . Guess I'd better make him breathe . tie amonla said Adams. He is ' : -t.
