and she 'gOt it out again" by swearing
out the warrant Mr.. Howard did not
feel that any jury would convict de-
PENDANT OF the charge. but since Mrs.
HoltSclaw had employed counsel, be did
not feel Ike asking for his discharge.
He did not hold him guiltless, as de-
PENDANT admitted he was guilty OF for
nicatiou, but he had no confidence in
securing a conviction on the charge Of
rape

Detroit has among its multiplex and
multifarious population bar-Keeper
who thinks, or used TO think, the entire
universe would turn into solid block
of ice If he got left, and the worst part
of it was he was always anxious to let
people know 1t.
he is quieter now, however, On that
score.
This is why.
During the last race meeting quite a
number of sporting men patronized his
place, and he knew q lot OF them by
sight. About nine o'clock one morning
a man whom he had seen around sever
al times came in and bought a ten-cent
cigar.
''By the way" he said casually, as he
lit it, "has - (naming well known
mani been in this morning."
The barkeeper said he had not.
"Well, I'm going to leave town this
afternoon and l owe him half dollar.
II I leave it with you will you give it to
him? He told me he would be here by
TO-"
The barkeeper would only be too
happy, and the man took $40 bill out
Of his pocketbook.
'ff you will give me 50. so out OF that,
please, and hand the balance to Mr..
- you will greatly oblige me-"
The change was handed over and the
man left.
About 10 o'clock the barkeeper saw
Mr.. and rendered him the hail
dollar.
81 don't know anything about it."
said that gentleman in surprise.
The barkeeper talked awhile and
then looked up at the bill. 1t was bad;
very bad, but it didn't look it. Then
he swore, and while he was swearing
another sporting man, who had been
listening, Clipped in:
"Dd that duffer work you for temp"
he asked.
HE did, indeed" sighed the bar
keeper.
"Would you mind letting me have the
bill" he asked, 'if pay you for It?
I've got my hooks on him and I'll make
him sick. He beat me on a little deal,
and know just where | can make it
co him hundred, or go 70 the pen.
be- ONLY good for hundred or I'd
axe him whack up ten times as

roll of bills.

ten is enough to lose. / We got my eye
teeth cut. and if you cisplies don't get
out Of this in minute, al call the po-
lice and have you run in. Skip, will

And the sports skipped. Later they
returned with the man who owned the
saloon. but they had concluded not to
redeem the $40 counterfeit. The bar
keeper had overreaehed himself $3.50
worth, that was all, and the honest
snort forRave him, but refused to give
the queer shower away so that the smart
one conId get his revenge or his $3.50.
