Officer Hancock, of the twenty-eighth pĆ³lice district, was patroling his beat the other day on hls bicycle when he espied a crowd of small boys on a hug pile of new lumber. The alarm waa given that a "cop" was coming, and the boya made a general rush to get away. The movement upset the lumber pile, and the long timbers slid down toward the center of the street. They made a natural gangway up to the top, and Hancock, who had a good galt on, rode his way clear to the top. He landed in the soft clay on the other slde, never losing his seat. . The aftrighted boys scattered in all directlons, completely dumfounded by the pollceman's remarkable feat. They keep away from that section now, for they say Hancock has wings on his "blke."
