POLICE4TRIlAL BOARD

Because .of delay in securing telephone
connections at the proper time, Desk Ser
geant w. HI. Burkhart of the third precinct
was arratgned before the police trial board
charged with failing and neglecting to make
prompt report to the central bureau of an
accident to- William Cathcart, which oc-
CURED about the middle of last month.
The trial board found Sergt. Burkhart
guilty except as to the charge of neglect"
upon which he was exonerated because of
the circumstances cited. In it's recon-
mendation to the superintendent of police
the trial board states:
In view of the fact that Sergt. Burkhart
made an effort to send this message, and
was delayed In consequence of the lines
connected with the central bureau being
reported as busy and the fact that this
was an omission rather than neglect, we
recommend that the charges be dismissed,
and that Sergt. Burkhart be warned to be
more careful in the future
1t would seem from the testimony in the
case that private individuals and business
men are not the only parties having trouble
with the telephone service in the city of
Washington. but that the officers of the
municipality well have felt the effects
Of poor service. In the case in point, the
telephone service, It seems, was responsible
for Sergt. Burkhart's being obliged to en-
dure the unpleasantness of a trial by the
police board

First. That the executive officer is the

mered Abner.
For season the old man stormed
and swore that his son should go to
Jail, but repented when the officers
asked him point blank If he wanted
him arrested.
Some hours later Drummond, who
had been hunting Abner, found him
lying on his face in the apple
orchard.

stretched himself to the full of his
splendid height, "I'll settle the &C,
count with We in way We won't like"
Whereat he turned his back upon
the astounded Drummond and stalked
away. Turning, Drummond faced an
other pair of blazing eyes-those of
Beatrice. When she had finished
speaking he took his way with leaden
feet toward the village and the sta

: I thought you knew it, indeed q did. .
He staggered as though he had
been struck, but recovered himself
directly. III. s.=@.%.
"Fergive me, Miss Beatrice he
said gently, with white drawn, face,
Il didn't know. had no right any

it 'ud do me a powerful lot o. good
to die to make you happier" And he
turned suddenly, leaped over the
fence and disappeared, while she
went on to the house with tears in
her eyes and sorrow in her heart.
After this -Abner watched Stephen
Drummond closely. Hitherto he had
paid scant attention to him, having
conceived a natural aversion to him
the first time he saw him. This i'm
preston was increased the more he
saw of him.
It was several weeks after the
avowel of Abner and Drummond was
out on one of his visits when the
event happened. They were all
sitting on the porch one evening
when two men drove up in buggy
and with scant courtesy seized
Stephen Drummond, saying he was
wanted on charge of forgery. All
his sputtering was in vain and in
answer to the indignant inquiry of
farmer Wilkins-one of them sheer
ingly said:
"Well, old sport, you ought to
know. 1t is for maxim the check you
threw out of de bank down here in
de town.
Abner had been watching the scene
with absorbing interest and his eyes
had been on the pale face of Beatrice
during this speech. He stepped for
ward:
'Let me see that check" he said.
The officer showed it to him. He
looked it over deliberately, then
turning to the officer said in steady
tones:
swell this time We hev made mis-
take. signed thet check myself
an gave it tn him to do some bizness
fer me in the city,
Old man Wilkins leaped to his feet.
"You," he screamed, mo, not you,
Alb, We wouldn't du sech thing. 1t

do We mean?"
White and pale Abner replied sui
lenly:

But why-wht- how-ye didn't

wilqered. II never refused ye any
