Being a resourceful chap, however, he got a bright idea when he noticed that the police of a certain precinct were moving from one station house to another. Without consulting anyone the youngster moved into the abandoned building by entering a rear window. He had an additional piece of luck: he found an old uniform coat and helmet left behind by one of the police officers. The garment made an excellent overcoat and nightrobe combined, and under the sergeant's desk was a spot well sheltered from drafts, where the youngster soon fell asleep. Had he been the only one to cast envious eyes upon the old station, it might have been his home for a long time, but it happened that two tramps saw the building which to them was an old acquaintance, as they had frequently been prisoners there. They decided to pass the night as free men within the walls where they had been prisoners and found no difficulty in gaining an entrance. While exploring they walked over to the sergeant's desk and were horrified when a figure in blue uniform rose from behind it and confronted them. They could see the official helmet, the coat with the brass buttons, and although the figure had no head it moved menacingly toward them. With wild yells the tramps ran out and away, only to fall into the hands of a vigilant blue coat. At the new station they told the sergeant of their experience and he sent the reserves out to "lay the ghost." They returned soon afterward with the frightened little boy, who sobbingly told them his story. They were sympathetic, those big gruff policemen, and through their kind aid he found work and was never again compelled to pose as a ghost in uniform to secure a night's lodgings.
