Flynn surveyed them in considerable dis.

covered calves, some of which might have

knockkneed man, wearing a particularly
,oud pattern of stockings, and the regUla-
tion bicycle face, passed the big policeman
he shifted Indignantly.

IN THE DOCK.
Judge Kimball also had a juvenile docket
today. The pen was filled with youthful
contingent of white and black boys. all
arrested as vagrants. The first three,
Lorenzo Ball, Ernest sewell and John
Johnson were found last night by Police
man McGrath huddled together like young
puppies in one corner Of Heat alley.
Ball and johnson are white. sewell is
colored Ball has been in court several
times before aud alwaysesc
He played in luck again this morning.
After McGrath had testified, the court
called up Ball.

"Loren-Zee-o Ball." drawled the pris-
oncr. sickly, miserable, ill-fed, dirty-look-
ing boy of eighteen years.
Been here before, haven't you, Lo-
renZo?" said the court, briskly.
"Yaas, suh."
what for?"
'Samc thing" answered Ball, bopelessly,
seeming TO have an unutterable fascination
for the water cooler, keeping his eyes glued
on it all the time.
Ball said he came from Hyattsvile, where
his parents died some years ago, and left
him, to become a yagabond and guodfor-
nothing. He had Southern accent and
spoke IN fashion somewhat foreign to the
usual run of vagrants.
II don't know what am going to do with
you, boy" said the court, thoughtfuly,
as If speaking TO himself.
II hope know what you arc going to do"
answered Lorenzo, smacking his lips as
policeman drew glass of water. II hope
you are going to take my personal bonds"
what for. 10 get arrested again?' re-
marked the judge.
no, sir; want TO 20 TO Anne Arundel
county and pick berries. You wont be
troubled with me again"
''one more chance, then, Lorenzo; but it
IS the last one," concluded the court. IF
you come here again, I'll send you TO the
workhouse. Take his personal bonds"
Sewell, an undersized boy OF II, shrty-
eyed and cautious, has great deal of the
material in him that makes criminals. He
had thoroughly wicked face, answering
all the questions put to him impudently.
Both he and Jnhnson are running mates,
coming heree from Pittsburg. On their
promise to leave town, Judge Kimball took
their personal bonds.

place would doubtless be well patronized.
