Good Detective Work

[Philadelphia Call]

Bank President—“Ah! Hawkshaw, I am sorry to see you back so soon. You evidently did not catch up with our cashier before he reached Canada!”

Detective—“I found him at Niagara Falls, and I got all of the stolen funds back.”

“What, the whole $40,000? Well, well! That’s glorious. You brought him back with you, I suppose?”

“No; I had no power to arrest him because he was on the Canadian side.”

“The Canadian side! Then how under the sun did you get the money?”

“Well, you see, he took a ride, and after he paid his fare I robbed the hackman.”
