Tho pair aroused Instantly nil of tho pollco Instincts of tho sergeant, and, after his custom, he Just stood nnd bored. Results were forthcoming nlmost Im mediately. The thick-necked Individual put the bag down on the platform, and lifted It up again. He repeated this performance two or threo times, nnd mumbled something to his companion, who swallowed nervously, causing the aforesaid Adam's apple to loop the-loop under tho skin of his throat. Still' the sergeant bored nnd the hnnd of tho stout man gave the bag a few more rides. The pair began to niovo toward tho end of tho platform as If they had given up all desire to catch a train. Then the rergennt ncted. Ho approached his quarry quickly. "What have you In tho bag?" he Inquired briskly. "That's my business" growled tho thick necked man. "Onco more," persisted the sergeant quietly, "what havo you In the bag?" "Few shirts nnd collars," compromised the fellow. "Open It up nnd let's see." "Can't lost the key." "All right, como with me to the station house nnd we'll get a key." At tho station the bag was forced open nnd was found to contain a quantity of diamond rings, brooches, watches, stickpins, nnd other Jewelry to tho valuo of J3000. Tho Jewelry was stolen from the safe In the store of A. W. Itublack. 3G South Seventh street. Tho prisoners said they were Joseph Smith and Henry Cohen, of New York.
