The Judge was seated in the operating

Wss the dentist inserting a small tube IN
his mouth. He got dose of gas and be-
came unconscious When he came TO, the
young man was under a table, his erst-
while spOtless shirt and collar covered
with blood and his clothes torn up al
most beyond recognition. lie was despe-
rately waving the Judge of, saying all the
while. Get out of here. Get out of here
lie seemed very anxious TO have the
Judge get out, but he couldn't Doe induced
TO leave his retreat from under the table.
'Why. young man, what's the matterf'
asked the judge who didn't understand
the situation, I'm surprise. III I've done
anything. I'm willing TO pay for IT,"
The young man obtruded his head for a
moment glanced repr0achfully about al
the demolished furniture and his own
sorry plight. wavered for moment, and
then exclaimed: Pay HI! You get out

Tt seemed that the Judge under the in-
nuence Of tho gas, had cleaned out the
establishment, and the dentist didn't get
