When Florence declared she would
rather go to the woods with Papa on
his hunting and fishing trip, than to
go abroad with Aunt Mary or to Sar-
atoga with Mamma, they all thought
she was crazy.
What in the world one could do to
pass the time, for the life of me, /
can't see," remarked Mamma.
(F'|No comforts, no luxuries, no balls,
no tennis, no golf-nothing that I can
see excepting mosquitoes and bugs
and cheap hotels,' added Irene, toss
ing her queenly head.
'"And no men," concluded Myra,
struggling her shapely shoulders.
Florence laughed good-naturedly.
well, it will be different, at any
rate" she responded. "Im tired to
death of Pullman cars and palatial
steamer saloons and stately hotel
rooms and the eternal 'breakfasting

tennis and automobiles and balls. And
the men in our set don't interest me.

And so to the woods went Florence
with Papa. He demurred bit at
first at the idea of dragging a girl
about with him, but Florence always
had been his favorite and they were
famous comrades. He would have re-
be]led had it been any other woman
in the world, but he knew that Flor
ence was sensible and would mind her
One of her good qualities-one which
had appealed strongly to him since
she was very little girl, was a Ger
tain resourcefulness which enabled her
to be happy and contented with her
own thoughts and occupations without
depending on others. For the rest, he
knew he would enjoy her companion
ship and her bright wit.
Nor was he disappointed. She took
pot luck such as the rough hotel Of

the girl was left to her own devices.
At the start her father had brought
to her guide in the person of Jasper
Coonradt, a young woodsman born on
tie shores of the lake, and told her he
had arranged that this particular guide
should be at her service for any ex-

whoa! whoa! you darned old

the ears of the residents of the

Constable Fred Sailing went in to
help the detective and between the
two of them the attorney was hustled
toward the aisle leading to the jail.
Judge Hinkle's warm spot predomi-
mated again and he ordered the off,
GERS to release the lawyer, which
they did.
Then 1t developed that Lawyer
Robertson's partner, Mr. Miller, had
ordered the summons for the wit

Later Judge Hinkle made a talk
from the bench declaring that he
recognized the mistake in confound-
ing the identity of the attorneys by
the clerk.
IF the clerk had made the mistake

said the judge.
Mr.. Robertson apologized for his
remarks and the incident passed.
Among the character witnesses for
Callahan were Patsy" Clark, as he
was called on the stand, Dennis
Clark, w. Marvin and a number Of
prominent mining men, who testified
to Callahan's good character as
miner.
Witnesses were also called to show
that a sister of Nora Mccormack had
appeared against Ben Wingard, ac-
cused of taking young girls to re-
sort in Standpoint. 1t was also shown
that Mr. Robertson was vineyards
attorney in that notorious trial.
The jury consisted Of Major r. d.
Gwyder, city sidewalk inspector; M.
r. Bump, deputy in the county
treasurer's office; A. c. Burrows.
deputy in the county assessors office;

All through the trial-which was
by jury before the police judge
there were acrimonious discussions
between the defender of offenders and
the smooth young prosecutor.
Personalities, persi1age and ora
torical efforts predominated until the
jury of wise ones selected grew tired
But it was not until a strange wit
ness was called to the stand that the
real trouble broke out.
Prosecutor Pugh had passed over
witnesses not favorable to his side
and through legal fluke Sadie Nc
Cormack, sister of the girl impli-
Gated, Nora Mccormack, was put on
the stand The testimony had de-
veloped the fact that Callahan had
an open sesame with the juniors of
the Mccormack family and that his
visits to the city resulted in his Sc

most
Callahan had testified that he came
to the city to have his teeth fixed and
that, after many sittings with Sadie
Mccormack, he had promised Nora a
new red hat.
Instead Of the red hat he averred
that he had given Nora 80 cents when
she called at his room, where three
bottles of beer were standing on the
table.

that he had been In the habit of call

In the most sensational case tried
before the mild-mannered Judge
Hinkle of police court decisions, F..
Conrad Robertson of the law firm OF
Robertson, Miller & Rosenhaupt, fell
into the clutches of the police this
morning.
The much talked Of legal scrapper
was seen at his worst in a shaking
which Detective McDermott and Con-
stable Fred Sailing gave him. Nc
Dermott grabbed the big lawyer and
shook him up in a tussle which was
to have ended in the city jail under
orders of Judge Hinkle.
Before McDermott could do the
rush act farther than the railing
leading out Of the courtroom to the
Jail Judge Hinkle relented and or
dered the officers to bring the attor-
ney back into court.
The trouble brewed and developed
under the strenuous fight between
Attorney Robertson and Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Fred Pugh.
Although younger and smaller than
Mr.. Robertson, the brainy little
prosecutor is a fierce, tricky fighter
and his tactics in the trial of the
case against Michael Callahan, the
man accused of giving young Nora
Mccormack liquor, served to agitate
the pugnacious criminal defender
more than usual.
