Swirsky and Miss Stella Swirsky left last night for San Francisco, from there they will take Eight Bottles of "Blue Rib bon" Beer Have History. Transportation Home In Crowded Car. In Which Tito Policemen Ride, Almost Prostrates Owner. r BY ADDISON BENNET. T happened Just before Christmas, nearly three weeks ago; but I did not care to mention it before, for fear of getting a friend in trouble. By this time' I Imagine the "detectives" have forgotten it, so I will give an episode that happened to Jones-Smith, a real estate operator who has an office In one of our big buildings. Of course his name Is not Jones-Smith, neither Is It Jones or Smith; but any name will do for the "criminal" to hide be hind. In the office of Jones-Smith there Is a vault that was put in when the building was constructed. In this vault long before the State went dry Jones-Smith used to have a few bot ties of beer occasionally. Not many bottles at a time, frequently for long periods the vault would be as dry as Oregon now Is, for Jones-Smith is by no means a drinking man. When the prohibition law went into effect there were a dozen small bottles of Blue Ribbon beer In that vault, but Jones Smith had forgotten It. About a month before Christmas he happened to run across it and at first thought he would throw it away. He soon had different thought and concluded he would take it home and have It to help out his Christmas dinner. He went down to the market and bought one of those 10-cent baskets, wrapped up eight bottles of the beer, each in a separate package, so it would not 'Jingle, and packed them In the bas ket. That was all the basket would hold; the other four bottles he "used." From day to day as he went home he forgot the basket, but the night be fore the great day he started blithely on his way home, gripping tight the basket. It was during the rush hour of traffic and he found -his suburban car packed to the piatiorms. . tie crowded in, placed the basket between his feet on the floor of the car, took possession of a strap, and pursued his Jorney. Pretty soon be noticed next to mm In front two policemen whom he had noticed frequently In his home neigh borhood, and he remembered that these same "coppers had been active or late in arresting and convicting such crim inals as they could catch. Jones-Smith grew a little nervous, for the number 11 shoe of one of the officers was rest ing right against the basket and Jones-Smith wondered ' if he had wrapped the bottles so there could not possibly be any Jingle as of glass against glass. He also began to go over In his mind how this man had been fined 25 and that one $50 for no great er offense than he was commuting; and it grew aq warm in .the car t&si the perspiration began to run down the trembling back of Jones-Smith. Presently he heard the officers talk ing in subdued voices about their du ties, about arrests they had made, even about their errand of the moment. "He's got lots of it in his office." said one of them to his partner, "and be gorry I belave he'll bring it or send it out this very night; mebbe it is in this car Mook at all the bundles and bas kets." "Suppose," said the other, "we Just take a chance and heft some of 'em; It would do no harrum to anny but law breakers." Just then one of them reached down right past the side of the basket. He was simply rearranging his shoe lace or something of the kind,, but Jones Smith for a moment thought he was a goner and quickly made up his mind to quietly sneak out of the rear door and leave the basket to- its fate. In fact for the last several minutes he had looked upon. the basket as belong ing to somebody else and was prepared to swear that he had never seen it be fore and had no idea as to its owner. Still the quiet talk went on about the criminals and how they were to be gathered in. It got warmer and warm er in the car. The thermometer any how must be up to 110 thought Jones Smith. The perspiration was now rush ing down his chest, his underclothing was drenched, his . legs were getting wobbly when one of the officers touched a bell call, the car stopped and they got off. Jones-Smith stood erect over the basket gjid as the car came to his crossing he grabbed it and got off. He was very weak. He could hardly stand, but he wobbled along home with his eight bottles. His .wife met him at the door and her salutation was, "Why. my dear, what is the matter: how pale you look; can't I get you something? You look as if you needed a good, warm sweat." "No," replied her husband, "I'll be all riglit in a few minutes; it was the heat in that crowded car that nearly caused me to collapse; but I'm all right, all right now, my dear, perfectly all right and O. K. But for the love of Mike take that basket out in the yard' and cache it under the currant bushes Just over the fence in Robinson's yard." But on the following day the eight bottles were recovered and did duty on the dinner table. But Jones-Smith has reformed and emphatically says, ' "Never again." '. - Grants Pass Boy Scouts Bus.'
