the Police Court.

the Police Court.
Since the decision of the Court of Appeals
in the case involving the application of the
Edmunds law. many tales Of woe have been
poured into the ears of the police and the
prosecuting attorney, and it is stated that
several cases involving the happiness Of
families are under investigation. Deserted
wives and husbands are the principal ones
to make complaint, and it is only where
the acts have been committed since the
courts decision that the cases are taken
under advisement. While these cases are
under investigation, the policemen are en-
forcing the law against offenders who do
conduct, and two cases in which colored
people figured as defendants were tried in
Judge Miller's court yesterday.
Charles Boss, who is known as one Of
Red BnfS' lieutenantS, and Mamie Ford

liaps in rear of No. 25l3 NJ street, and

pie, said he had a great amount of trouble
with this particular house.
George NJ. ii. Jordan and Maria Brown
were defendants in the other case. They
were arrested in house in Blagdens alley
The woman lives in Georgetown, and was
a stranger in the locality where she was
arrested. The four defendants We're fined

murder: not the restora ton of Amelia's
happiness; not thing that would be of
oeneht to himself Or his mother. What evil
YOU'D then be attendant upon an exposure
granting that the crime of murder could be
fastened upon the professor?
IN answer to this query, the doctor felt

Louise; the shock to his mother, who wouId

This thought came upon the doctor with

mind seized upon this idea with vgor. and

A Very Sleepy Man.

From the Chicago 1nter-Ocean.
A peculiar accident happened the other
night, near Kingston, Ohio, in which Nell
son Rayburn came near losing his life. Mr..
Rayburn was in buggy, crossing the N.
and w. track, when his horse was struck
by west-bound freight. Although the
horse was killed and part of the dashboard
torn away, Rayburn, who was sound asleep
in his buggy, knew nothing Of the acct
dent until some time after it had occurred.
The engineer saw the buggy, but was I'M
able to stop the train, The vehicle was
thrown in the same direction that il had
been going, across the track and twenty
yards further. alighting upright. Engineer
Dutton Immediately returned as he sup
posed, to help pick up the remains of the
man, but found instead that the man was
not only uninjured. but still sound asleep
in his buggy. When aroused from his stu
por and informed of the state of affairs, he
was as much surprised as the engineer
himself.

TWENTY-FIRST INSTALLMENT.
CHAPTER XXI

CHAPTER XXI. PHILBRICK SURPRISED
DIR. Williams was too amazed at the au-
Gacity of Professor Drummond's proposal
to think for a moment of its offensiveness.
THE mans madr' he exclaimed.
The doctor was not far from right.
Whichever way Professor Drummond turn
ed he saw possible danger. Worse. or at
least more terrifying than the dangers he
could see were those that threatened indef-
nitely. The doctor might at any time take
it into his head to disclose what he knew;
and Phlbrick-there was no telling what
he knew or inferred meant to do. Des-
peration was steadily and rapidly under
mining the professors mental balance
His violent fits of temper, his inability to
conceal his passion at all times. were plain
symptoms of the overstrain to which events
subjected him. The proposal for Mrs. Will

why, l made it as clear as could that
such thing was out of the question. He
begged not to decide hastily, but to
hold the matter open. He promised not to
refer to it again until reasonable time
had elapsed. He has said nothing about it
since l returned here"
Shouldn't think he would. How mon
strous it seems!'
''He pleaded for Louise and Amelia more
than for himself. They needed an elder
woman's companonship. he said"
Undoubtedly he was right there"
The doctor went to the bedside and gazed
at his patient with troubled eyes. The hor-
ror of the general situation grew upon him
as he saw the pallid face Of this innocent
girl whose life had been blasted by the vii
lainy of the man under whose roof she
was obliged to find shelter. Was it weak
ness on his part that restrained him still
from exposing the professor? What was to
be gained thereby? Not the undoing of

CHARACTER IN WINDOW SHADES.
They Tell Tales About the inmates Of the
House, q Young Woman Says.

House, q Young Woman Says.
"I don't know anything about the
front of a house that more clearly indi-
Gates the character and condition Of tho
inmates than the window shades" said
a young woman of observation. eff you
see the shades all drawn down to pre-
cisely the same level in every window,
you can tell at once that the house is
occupied by a single family and that
the mistress is of a severely orderly
spirit. There'll not be q thing out of its
accustomed place in that house, You can
rest assured. If the shades of all the
up stairs windows are draSn down to
the top of the bottom sash, while those
of the parlor are drawn clear down, you
can safely judge the family of that
house to be one of those essentially do
nestle ones that live mostly up stairs,
where the bedroom is at once the wife's
sewing room and the husbands library
and where the parlor is only opened OH
state occasions. If the bedroom window
blinds in the middle story are half way
down while those on the top floor and
Of the parlor are away up, you won't
be wrong in saying that that house is
ruled by the young folks, who are going
to have a flood of sunshine in their bed
rooms even if it does fade out the mat
ting and who are not going to have the
parlor smelling like a musty old church.
"The loom with that Il window
blind run clear up to the top is occupied
by a man, and if you see the window
shades at different heights you take it
for granted that they have let lodgings
there OF that the housekeeping is of q de-
cidedly frousy character. One of the
most unfailingly indicative shades is
that which runs ~diagoually across the
window, with one corner close under
the roller and the other half away down
the sash. The woman of that window is
a slattern. and it's babies to bodkins
that the growler is rarely empty there.
"These are, of course, only the broad
indications of the character reading that
may be done from the position and was
of the eyelids of a house, for l suppose
it is not forcing a figure of speech to
say that if the windows are the eyes Of
a house the shades are the lids and can
be held primly straight or give a drunk
en- wink. New York Sun.
