ROBBED BY A
FALSE FRIEND
LONELY WOMAN SWEARS OUT
Il WARRANT FOR JOHN
G, DOE.
Her Husband Has Whipped Her, So
She Sought Sympathy From
10 Gallant Stranger, Who
f@ Bought Her Beer and
81 Later Took Her
on Personal Effects.

Michael Doe, supposed to be near
relative of the famous John Doe, is
wanted on charge of grand larceny. He
il said to be blacksmith.
Not being engaged yesterday in ham,
mering out ingots, he went to the~race
track and bumped against good thing
not, however, in any of the races, ex-
cept the human race. He met Della
Chassee and Della met him. She now
wishes she had not seen Michael, and
before the trouble is over Michael will
probably wish he had never seen Della.
But Della and her "old man." as she
expressed it, had trouble few days ago
and she needed a little sympathy to
equalize the humiliation of carrying an
eye draped In the typical badge of woe,
the result Of blow from said ''old man."
Michael Doe was just the man to ex-
tend the hand sympathy. He patted her
on the back, treated her to ice cream and
paid for it with a ten-cent piece borrow
ed from a friend. He was so good and
kind that Della invited him to call on
her last evening in the Cobban block.
He called and. after sympathizing with
her some more went out and bought
can of beer with some of Delia's dough.
It Was a Dream.
When he returned Della slaked her
thirst with the beverage and soon
dropped into a state of Inconsistencies,
from which she did not recover until this
morning. In the peacefulness of her
slumber she dreamed she dwelt in para
disc and that the pathway along which
she had Travelled to reach her new home

Her Money Was Gone.
Her beautiful trip was only one into
dreamland When she first opened her
eyes everything bore a zig gag appear

Egyptian obelisk. Her throat was

chair beside the bed sat the "growler

Pretty much everything had deserted
her save her blackened eye. Even her
