Flynn meant Padua, but Kendig only
caught the first syllable of the name.

"Ah," smiled Mike raptuously, humming

day We cilibrate.
kendig protested against being Included
in the ''we," and was SO occupied in con-

notice the entry of the Judge. and was a
| minute late in calling the court to order.
His honor remarked on the dismal day,
and dismal, indeed, it was. Everybody

morning Lizzie again appeared as a de-
fendant on the same charge.
Policeman Harley said Sunday night the

her, and Lizzie sent all around the neighbor

Maria today.
She took the stand and tossed her head,
when Kendig cautioned her that fits did

LIZZIE TOLD HER STORY.
Lizzleis what Il darkey in the dock termed
"a paled-faced ooman.'' She has re-
markabe control over the muscles OF her
eyes, and revolved them like whiriing
spheres. She wore two brass rings on
of them to the Judge, until he commanded
Lizzie to keep her hand down.
Lizzie began 10 summarize her doiDgs
on the Sabbath from sunrise 10 midnight,
and was held do wn 10 the time OF the arrest
with difficulty.
ut wuz all oosed by nah father she
said; she cum'd home, an begin cussin'

.'Well, / 'peats jess wat he say"
You do what?'' asked the court, n
little puzzled.
''she said she repeated just what the old
man said" interrupted KeDdig, who can
give Joel Chandler Harris cards and
spades In the negro dialect.
Oats it, yo' 'onnah," continued Lizzie.
II 'peats what he seq, an den / says, all

the court.
.Yaas, sab, nah own deah father, who
gived me de bref oh life."
Lizzie said she had a service place and
should have been there at 6 O'Clock. She
drew a skillful picture OF a family being
without breakfast and baby crying for
familiar yellow face. She won out again.
''If you have a service place won't cause
you to lose it." said Judge KimbaII. Mr..
Harper, take that girls bonds. and you,
Lizzie, don't repeat any more oaths. no
matter who utters them
Lizzie promised, and muttering thanks
all the way out, threw a wink at a group
of colored lawyers, and scornfully rejected
Kendig's smile.
"she's the queen of 1ollers, amt she?"
said the bailiff, who admires genius,
whether 1t flirt with the truth or not

Saturday afternoon he came into police
headquarters half-clad, and demanded that
the authorities adjust difficulty between
himself and his landlord at house on c
street. There had been some trouble, and
the latter elected Coleman and threw his
effects out on the pavement.
The detectives persuaded him TO go with

trouble somewhere. He went around |
to the office of his paper. on Louisiana ave |
nue., and meeting Mr.. Med. Lindsay, the |
Of the paper and Coleman's best |
friend, cursed that gentleman deeply,
loudly and picturesquely for noreason at all.
Mr.. Lindsay was almost petrified by Cole |
mans behavior, and only realized that it

came up and arrested Coleman.
He stayed In the sta ton house until Sun
