1t was. indeed, trying ordeal, and his

name Is Earle Amidon. and although
he is just too exquisite for any thing he
wishes it empaatically und ,rssool that
he is not du e. He means It. and his

ly. and show viciousness aud physical
energy. This they were positive E,rl,
uli not do. They wers soon disab ised
o that idea. however.
Tue complainant in the casa was de-
termiued-lookiug, clear-spoken lady
named Mrs. Es.elle de L ,ss, AMI her resi-
dence is NJ 145 West Oaio street. Her
story as regards Eirle is both pathetic
aud roman ic, but sh, does not think so.
In q cold, chilly tone stand ing side by
side with the shlvering object Of her
wrath, she spoke t, hi, Honor. In her
household there dwells q fair maiden of
sixteen summers, Of soft. limpid eyes. and
long, velvety lashes. Hsr name is Ever
ella, and she is the daughter of the com.
plainant. For many moons Earle has
hung upt N her sweet words and front
gate. to the great annoyance OF the COM
plainant, who int'mlt.d d more THAI once
that a lamp post would be the proper
place fer him to hang. But it mattered
not. A little wrath could not break of
his fevered love- and he continued to hang
ss of yore. Also Mrs. de Loss became
daily, or rather nightly, more ince ised,
all OF which boiled no good to z lrle. The
climax came on Sulla7 last Az the
sott-toned church -te,ls rang out Ever
ella tripped lightly down tho front
steps, accompanied By her mott Ter. They
were going to church. There ut the bot
tom step sat Earle, the p cure of crushed
manhood, the pink face in his slender
hands aud his big-bonsd frame swaying
back and forth in his great agonv. The
pitt ui look in the eyes OF Ewereila was
more than discounted ly the cold glare i'm
the eyes OF her mamma, and Earle felt
tnat he had he worst OF it. Not deigning
another look at the crumpied form ON the
steps, Mrs. D. Loss called Ewe-ela to her
side, and together they wended toward
the church. The strain was too much for
Earle. He would make ons more dssper-
ats effort to win the good graces of Ewsr-
elias guardian. Rushing after tho fast
disappearing ladies he caught W with
them, and In accents wild he cried out:
'Oh, mother-lu-law! On. moth r. in la W
can stand this suspenss\no Ion :er."
AT the cry of mother law Mrs De Loss
turned upon him AMI a'm,st wi her I'd
him with Look, only to elec r.fy him to
to stif position by the talk she gave
him. Yesterday Earle was arrested rs
before stated, and two Big policemen took
him before the court, who nnel him 81,
alter making him promise to Hessr agaio
address the lady 80 familiar.y.
