The temperature In the Jefferson
Market Court went up eleven degrees
to-day when Florence Norton. a very
pretty red haired damsel, swept in with
Policeman B~urburneck, of the West
Thirtteth street station.

histrionic talents in a vaudeville theatre.

and various other m~isdemeanors by her
landlady, Mrs. ELLEN Hardy, of No. 3S
West Twenty-fourth street.

trate opened his mouth in astonishment
as his eyes fell on the fair prisoner.
who stood demurely before him with her
eyes at a coquett;sh angle. She was
dressed in a tight-itting Jacket and n
tailor-made skirt that brought out the
ull round lines of her s. numerical
form. A Spanish hat with a huge black
plume relieved tho radiance of her hair
and the rosy red IN her d!mpled cheeks.
Even the mouth of the octogenarian cop
on the bridge waterod as he looked
upon her ruby lips puckered in a tempt
Ing pout. But when Policeman Bur-
burneck finished his story a buzz OF
amazement hummed through the court
room. Here Is the story:

that she was going away from there
and she offered a check for IS on a New
Bank. The landlady said she
would not accept the check.

Florence sw eetly.
II Will hold your luggage. them said
Mrs. Hardy firmly.
All Of a sudden Florence's lustrous hair
turned a shade redder and threatening
fiashes appeared in the coiled strands.
The tempting lips set firmly and two
deep red spots appeared In both cheeks
and Miss Norton strobe away to her
room. The landlady followed. The
two entered together. Mrs. Hardy re-
peated her threat to hold Florence's
belongings. All of a sudden bright
shot from under the Spanish
hat, and simultaneously a small sst
shot out, landing upon Mrs. Hardy's
right eye.

"Mein Colt! how they had It. Sooch
bumps, sooch tumbles and sooch ~faIls."l
policeman Burburneck was sum-
moned before the conclusion OF the
fourth round In time TO find Miss Norton
landing snort jabs on the |landIady's
ribs. He got between them and caught
