he would use it.
Mrs Rosenhirch. desiring kndling wood
called In Coster TO saw the wood. no mat
ter what II cost her
Coster descended to the cellar and, seiz-
ing the saw. proceeded 20 reduce the wood
TO the necessary lengths. Presently his
eyes fell upon a barrel, the contents CT
which aroused his curiosity. He investi-
gated: then his thirst demanded that II
be slaked.
Soon the swish-zip-swish Of the saw
ceased TO be heard, and Mrs. Rosenhirch
becoming suspicious. went 10 the cellar
to Investigate the reason for the lay-off
She found Coster stretched out on the
cellar bottom as full as a goat.
He had tackled what proved to his sat
isfaction To he a barrel Of wine. and he
had imbibed to the limit of the seductive
contents.
Hurrying to the street Mrs. Rosenhirch
hunted up her husband. told him OF the
theft OF the wine. Rosenhirch. as bold as
a lion. bravely went to the cellar 10 hold
an argument with Coster. Therein he
erred. for Coster arose and entered so
strongly into the line or argument that
Rosenhirch retired with "A blackened eye.
Patrolmen Carney and Byron responded
10 a call for assistance. lugged Coster 20

ing Judge Reuckert fined him $50 and
