found themselves. in Court, charged Will,
disturbing the peace, The officers state
ment' was clearly given, and certainly dis
closed an equal eulpability in both. 1t was
evident, however, that the Court inclined a
favorable Judgment to the youngest, and
the scales of justice were rapidly tipping in
her favor:
..::.'.Why did you abuse this young lndy?"
the magistrate, demanded Of the old one.
II Ind right toy was tho calm reply.
"Wllat was she doing?' -

"Good lack! good mck Why, You're

Court "NIe woman ! did you say ine?''
Again the spectacles We're adjusted, and
the curious gaze prolonged, while the old
lady nodded her head ct intervals.
% Yes yes, it's the same ugly face. I'm
sure of it; but I'll forgive you this time
Ill forgive-you. And the old lady hobbled
away, leaving tho Court gasping with as
constituent, and unable to interposc an OBJ
lection to her departure.
