rudely interrupted in his tryst with the
cook.
In the morning We appeared before
his worship. The Italian and we're
charged with creating a disturbance
and assaults and breaches Of the peace
and that kind OF thing. and as far az
remember, the police threw a charge
OF drunk against me. His worship
asked 10 Gee the monkey, and when
they brought him In. 10 and behold.
there were two Jackos.
After some explanation the magls-
trate dismissed the charge against US
with caution. On the ground Of exeus-
able mistake. And. indeed Il was most
oxcusablo. Apparently the Italian had
really lost his monkey. and whether Il
VIC his monkey or Jacko that he had
been pursuing when ! encountered Il.

events. the police had captured the
other monkey during the night and
had shut the two up together. There
they sat. two ugly. grinning. lndistin-
guishable creatures. both guilty. ae-
cording TO the evidence. OF aggravated
assaults on the police.

the magistrate pointed out. there Is no

question himself. and he pointed out
that Il was the duty OF the police 10
restore property 10 its owners. He said
that he was not Solomon. but only a
police magistrate. and that he doubted
whether even the house Of lords could
throw much light on the subject. The

prominent attorney and bird fancler Of

son had offered TO sell him a carrier
pigeon for $50 The lawyer concluded
that the pigeon was one Of Leydecker's
missing birds and wrote 10 him to in
form him as to the whereabouts OF the
flyer. Leydeckor answered the letter
saying that. while he valued the bird
greatly, he hal more Of the same breed
and did not care 10 pay $50 for his own
property. While Mfr. Henderson was
waiting for a reply to the attorneys
