From his nostrils the odor has a decided effect on his digestive organs which causes him to turn his steps in the direction from which the odor has come. He discovers the pie resting on a window sill and loses no time in getting busy on its consumption. As he starts to demolish the newly created work of art, he notices a gentleman sitting in the window absorbed in the reading of a story depicting the valorous deeds of the police of the great Northwest. He imagines himself in the hero's place. He is guarding the boundary line between the United States and Canada and has been cautioned not to let any fur or bottles across. He stops a big black bear and sends him back but when a pole cat approaches he gives it the right of way without any question. A bunch of rum-runners fool him by playing ball with big footballs filled with booze. He saves a lady in distress but fails to capture the terrible bandit, "Black Jake," who is reported to be in the neighborhood. When his boss comes upon him he finds him in the garb of an Indian doing an Indian war dance by way of entertaining the girl. At the end of the story, Ned, unthinkingly, makes some comments on it so that the man reading discovers his presence and gives him the gate in no gentle manner.
