And why I should like to know are the police never to be wrong So he put them on quickly stuck his papers in his pocket and took besides a few under his arm intending to look them through at home to make the necessary notes. It was noon and the weather that had threatened rain began to clear up while gaily dressed holiday folks filled the streets. A little trip to Fredericksburg
