My passport would be no good, for the number of that pass would long ere this have been wired to every police-station in Germany, and to produce it would be to ask for trouble.

The roughs ran out of the saloon and beat him very badly, breaking his arm: this brought him to the police-station, and thence to the hospital.

But in that case, how far am I answerable both for his death and for any other mishap which may occur? Surely with the knowledge I already possess it must be my duty to see that something is done, or if necessary to do it myself.

At ten o'clock Superintendent Polke, bluff and cheery as usual, and Detective-Sergeant Starmidge, eyeing his new surroundings with appreciative curiosity, strolled round the corner from the police-station and approached the bank. Half a dozen loungers were gathered before the window, reading the poster; the two police officials joined them and also read in silence.
With that, the General dragged Harry from the apartment, and hurried him down-stairs and along the street to the police-station of the district. But to the unfortunate secretary the whole affair was the beginning of a new and manlier life.
Between the two townships a park has been reserved, though not yet enclosed; the timber in it, which is large consisting principally of white gum and stringy bark is not allowed to be cut or injured. There are several good inns, a court-house, police-station, and corporation offices.
