Nothing happened. however. No
one called to get the whisky. The
freight clerk knew nothing about it.
It sat solidly on the platform. a blot
on the prohibition landscape. '
The two constables waited until
nightfall. Then one of them went
home. leaving the other to keep watch
and ward during the night. The lone
constable waited till morning, but
nothing happened. Watch was chang-

thought the constable. Watch woe
changed, but the keg remained un-
molested all that night.
1 Next morning the constables held
I a coneultation. They decided to re-
move the kegto one of their houses.
Even though .they could ,not arrest
the 'offenders they could at least con-
'fiscate tbe contraband.
- They approached the keg gingerly,.
for tlie breeding barrel had assumed
a sinister appearance in their eyes..
i They took hold of it. It moved with
' wondrous ease. They lifted it up,
