a station hand came across the re-
spectacle Mr.. Inch asleep In a pile Of
freight, his clothes torn and dirty, his
hat ripped through the middle, and
minus his collar and necktie, he threw
up his hands In astonishment. He
called other station hands, and the
men In the baggage came. too,
and their eyes nearly popped out OF
their heads at the sight of James Inch,
Parlor City's respectable citizen. in so
deplorable a condition. They were a
heartless crowd, those station men, for
they called a policeman, and the police.
man hauled Mr.. Inch out of the freight
and started dragging him toward the
station. Mr.. Inch the meanwhile sleep
ing i~nnocentiy on. Half way to the sta.
ton the policeman gave u and Mr..
Inch was allowed to take a short doze
on the sidewalk pending the arrival Of
help.
1t happened to be on the main street
Of Parlor City that the policeman left
his prisoner. and as the afternoon was
as bright and sunny as the morning had
been, the Inhabitants were out In great
numbers. Any attempt to record here
the comments of the people on Mr..
Inch and his condition would be futile.
Suffice 1t to say that the downfall of
James Inch, the model citizen of Par
lor City, the pillar Of the church, and
the greatest philanthropist In the coun-
try, was known for miles that night.
And the next day there was more to
talk about. Mr.. Inch slept for five
hours at the station house, and then
went home, and, refusing to recognize
his wife, proceeded to destroy the fam
lily china. He hurled plates around un-
til he was tired, then smashed win
dows and mirrors with a poker for a
time. He went to bed after hacking at
some furniture with a carving knife,
and the next morning woke up with
out the slightest recollection of what
had ha ened. He recalled the strug-
gle at the station, but that was all. His
wife pretended to believe the story Of
his having been stabbed in the neck,
but she didn't at all.
For several days the cold giances of
former friends and acquaintances an
noyed him. They all said, Yes, yes"
when he told Of his remarkable tenn
porary alteration, but he could see that
they did not believe him. Nevertheless
the truth came out in time and Mr..
Inch of Parlor City is az respected and
honored as he v vas DR.. Blank
made a statement in the local paper Of
the matter over his signature, and that
more than anything else exonerated
Mr.. Inch. As for the doctor. he was
suspended, but at Mr.. Inch's earnest
solicitation the superintendent restored
him to duty, and he and his victim are
now the best Of friends. The doctor
doesn't carry his hypodermic syringe
except in the asylum wards now, and
he has declared. that he'll never take
it out of the building agaln.-New
