LOVE VERSUS JAlLOR.

Love laughs at locksmiths, " says the
old adage But it does not say a word
about jailors, and this omission is wise,
as the experience of Private Ritz of Com
pany D, Bel Air, most forcibly illustrates
These columns about three weeks ago
chronicled the arrest and conviction of
Mr.. Ritz on the charge of not attending
the military drills as required by law
but there was no record that the convic-
ted man failed to pay the stipend exacted
by Justice Richardson. which however
was the case. There are two sides to
every question, and no doubt the soldier
had his mind on another bent, as he ut
terly failed to turn up within the required
two hours that Sheriff Whiteford gave
him to find the necessary $3.50. Thus
matters drifted until Tuesday, when the
man who had sworn to bear arms for
the State of Maryland for three years
made another appearance upon the
scene, this time as a would-be bride
groom. Sheriff Whiteford was "made
wise" regarding the proceeding and bidcd
his time until the expecting Benedict has
tened to leave the Court House armed
with the necessary legal document au-
thorizing the ceremony. Instead of join
ing his intended bride, however, the cour-
teous minion of the law informed him
that he would have to spend the next four
days i'll dungeon or else come up with
the cash. The expense of the marriage
license had somewhat depleted his ex-
chequer, so there was no alternative, and
to jail he went The law must take its
course we all admit, but no doubt the
anticipating bride and groom do not just
now feel much respect for the statute
that would separate two loving hearts
under such delicate circumstances. While
Captain Reckord is a single man, no
doubt even his kind heart was touched
by this necessary display of discipline.
