  I put in a hectic day of trudging through apartment buildings and squabbling with superintendents, but we found it the next morning, in a stubby little seven-story building on South Central. It was one of those apartment buildings that went up way back in 1990, when the city decided it couldn't afford the luxury of open spaces and opened part of old Central Park to apartment buildings.

And by the time the ambulance arrived I was ready to admit that if the injury were an accident, Calvin Baxter had contrived to conceal its source.

  During the evening other men and boys came in, but they recognised that our early arrival entitled us to the good places, and they picked out the next best. Had it not been that questions on my part would have proven me to be a tenderfoot, which it was bad policy for one in my position to admit as possible, I should have made inquiries then and there, for it was plain that the push was an association that ought to interest me also; but all that I learned that night was that there was a gang of wild characters who were trying to run the Lake Shore Railroad, so far as Hoboland was concerned, according to their own wishes and interests, and that there were constant clashes between them and such men as were gathered together in the sand-house.

  Before and beyond were pounding rock drills, belching locomotives, there arose the rattle and bump of long trains of flat-cars on many tracks, the crash of falling boulders, the snort of the straining steam-shovels heaping the cars high with earth and rock, everywhere were groups of little men, some working leisurely, some scrambling down into the rocky bed of the canal or dodging the clanging trains, all far below and stretching endless in either direction, while over all the scene hovered a veritable Pittsburg of smoke. Some one might run away with the Administration Building on the edge of the Pacific and the telephone wires be buzzing for me--with the sad result that a few days later there would be posted in Zone police stations where all who turned the leaves might read: Special Order No. ....

And he hadn't seen Mr. Cleek go into the place, or Dollops either!

The boots and shoes seemed to know all about it, and to resent the slight inflicted on them; henceforth even the shambling feet of poor old women were to know them no more.

  Generally speaking, special constables have all the powers, and are subject to all the responsibilities, that ordinarily attach to police constables within their constablewicks. Justices who decided to take advantage of the Act were empowered to appoint a chief-constable, and delegate to him the power of appointing, directing and disciplining a sufficient number of police constables, the expense of the force to be charged against the general county rate.[207] Adjoining shires were permitted to unite for the common purpose of policing the larger area; and if any county refused, as a whole, to avail itself of the facilities now afforded, any division of that county might maintain a separate police force; provision was also made for the voluntary amalgamation of existing borough forces with any country constabulary, that might thereafter be appointed in the immediate neighbourhood.

There is little excuse, however, for Chicago men and women allowing themselves to be talked out of money for charity.

summary:
  The Magistrates of the City of London form a body, perhaps the most _respectable_, and _independent_ of any in the world; but besides the unavoidable, important, and multiplied affairs of the Corporation, in attending the various Courts of the Lord-Mayor--Aldermen--Common Council--Common Hall--Wardmotes--Conservancy--Courts of Requests--Court of Orphans--and General and Quarter Sessions of the Peace, and Justice Hall at the Old Bailey, they have avocations and engagements in business, which must necessarily occupy their minds. Inconsistent italicizing of _l._, _s._, and _d._ has been normalized to italics.
