SHE HAD PLENTY OF TIME.

The Good BY Instructions Were Strung
Out Little Too Long.
He was the proud and naughty guard
at that railway gate and they were two
ladies who dislil1ed to be separated very
much.
"Good-by," said the one with the
valise and the red pasteboard box tied
with white string.
''Good-by," replied the one who had
no luggage.

Then they kissed and parted and the
traveller with some difficulty extricat-
ed her ticket from the valise Just as
she got to the guard she gave little
scream.
s'Oh!" she said, there is something
I wish to say to her; will have time?''
How long will you need?" he asked,
as he looked at her ticket.
''Just half minute"
"Oh, then you have plenty of time

engaged in the struggle.
''We want this fellow to move on"
said one of the men, releasing the boys

I'll go if you'll give me my money"
Then came an explanation. The boy
had bought two cigars at the bar of
the hotel, and declared that he had
given the clerk one hundred dollar
bill in payment. He was offered nine
ty cents in change, and upon refusing
to take it was hustled into the street.
His statement was contradicted by
the clerk, who insisted that he had re-
ceiyed one. dollar bill from the lad
and returned the correct sum in silver
coin. The policeman looked perplexed,
and the crowd listened attentively to
the two stories. The lad had recovered
voice and self-control and was per-
sistent in his accusat on. Finally, the
policeman ad vised him to go before a
magistrate with his grievance, and to
this the youth consented.
On the following morning the lad re-
peated his account of the affair before
the magistrate, and explained clearly
the strange position in which he was
placed. His name was William Daw-
son. He had been acting as body=sery-
mt to a naval officer, and had returned
within a few days from a long voyage.
The officer had given him the one hun
dred-dollar bill, and he had intended
taking it to his mother, who lived in
Baltimore. However, he had stayed
longer in New York than he had at
first expected to, and, having spent his
small bills, had purposely gone into the
barroom of the great hotel and bought
the cigars for the sake Of changing his
treasure. The magistrate could not
shake the young fellows faith in his
own share of the transaction, and sent
for the hotel clerk.
The clerk, whose name was Howard,

story as being simply absurd. His
friends were indignant, and thought
that Dawson should be held and prose-
cuted for his action.
The matter began to assume such
Importance that the magistrate sent a
policeman to the Brooklyn navy yard to
inquire into the truth of Dawson's
statement. The case was postponed,
and, as Dawson had no money, he re-
NAMED in charge OF an officer and was
cared for as a prisoner. Howard made
counter complaint and promised to
appear when called upon.

When the time came the courtroom
