little girl looked at him steadily for mo-
ment aud said "Letme smell his breath. 3"
The negro was brought closer, and Bessie
used her nose for moment and said Yes" "
then mo" She did this some several
times, and turning to the policeman said /:
Il can't tell tonight. Bring him back to-
morrow. l remember the mans breath
smelt of cigarettes. and was very sweet

The question has been asked time and
again why is it that if the offence was
committed at o'clock at night nothing
was known of it at the statiOn-house un-

the marriage at Grove-Avenue Baptist
church learned of the affair about O'Clock
and under the direction of the sergeant at
once went to work on it, and could see no
necessity for notifying the statlon-house.
