Rum and Trouble.

Frank Lashua was brought before JUS
tice n. l.. Boyden Friday and fin I'd S5 and
cos of SOL for a second offenU of intox-
ication. An additional sentence 30 days
in the House of Correction was imposed
but was afterwards susp nded one year on
the offenders promise OF good behavior.
The fine was paid, and Lashua disclosed
that the liquor came from Boston.
Frank Campbell of Braintree and Wat
son w. Banis.er candidate for justice of
the peace in Braintree on the Fusion
ticket, were also arraigned in po ice court
Friday on the charge of intoxicatton aud
were both fined IS with costs of about s6.
1t seems that Campbell took party to
Granville by team and then drove to Han
cock, where he procured alcoholic beverages
and fell in with Banister. The latter who
had a grip, wanted to ride home, and the
two set out to make the trip by way of
HaG5 MIA. Their sense of direction was
so obscured, however, that they steered
their course to Glead instead and 10
O'Clock at night arrived in Randolph and
drove up to the Gay livery stable. Thomas
Mccarthy, night man at the stable, took
them in, Hospitality giving his own bunk
to Banister and fixing up couch for
Campbell on the floor. Later he took care
of another team that came to the livery
and then dropped asleep in his chair after
which point in the annals of the night his
memory fails him.
AT O'Clock in the morning, Patrick
Connolly, another employe at the livery,
found the stable open and Mccarthy lying
on the floor in blood, his clothiog torn and
his pockets turned wrong side out. By his
side was Campbell conjuring him to lay
the blame of the Knockout on Banister,
who had discreetly quilted the premises an
hour earlier. Two knives and quantity
of silver were scattered over the stable
floor, but the rest of McCarthy's money,
Sl7 in bills that he had in one pocket, was
missing until after a while it was dis
covered in stall that Campbell had been
seen to enter shortly before.
Banister was arrested on the charge OF
furnishing liquor and was bound over to
county court Saturday in the sum Of 5000,
II. G. Soper becoming his bondsman.
Campbell, charged with the assault on
Mccarthy, was placed under bonds of $500,
which he was unable to furnish and was
consequently taken to Chelsea for incar-
ceration.

pink from contact with a spongeful of wa

In white canvas shoes over snowy half
hose. He had donned a suit of immaeu-
late white linen and tie OF brave colors
where 1t ended In u knot under his broad
lace collar. He looked at Laura with
self-satisfed smile and asked:

Full of anticipation for the evening, Ar
thur and May talked about marlonettes
all the afternoon, hardly being able to
contain themselves till the night should
come. They got what information they
could out of the encyclopedia pertaining 10
the subject aud found that marionettes
dated back many centuries. Indeed. the
encyclopedia said that the fact of the All
tiquity of marionettes was established by
the discovery of figures with movable
limbs In the tombs of Egypt.
So, when the night at last came, and
Arthur and May were ready to go to the
marionette show, they went with "nog-
gins" full of wisdom concerning the queer
little puppets they were to see perform.
The place of entertainment was In

Night with the MariOnettes

large hall seated with benches aud chairs
The admission was 10 cents for children
under r. Arthur, having Just turned II,
honestly paid his quarter, for he was too
honorable boy to deceive the old French
man who presided at the door and issued
the tickets.
In one corner Of the room two musicians
OR performers that went by that name
were seated, strumming on a guitar and
mandolin. The seats were filling with a
motley crowd Of Italians, French aud
Americans. Children predomlnated. Ar
thur and May procured two front chairs,
where they would have splendid view of
the little stage with It's brilliantly and
badly painted drop curtain.
Pretty soon the curtain went up and
there dashed into view two very nimbe
warriors or knights in armor. Their legs
and arms could bend backward at the
joints as well as forward AS one knight
walked boldly and menacingly toward the
second, who as boldly came toward him,
great deep-stomached voice beloved forth
from the wings at one side of the stage,
speaking the dialogue for the marionettes
who were being jumped about the stage
In most wonderful manner Occasionally
a huge, strong hand would appear from
above the heads of the puppets, guiding
a long iron rod.
The story being enacted on the stage
was strange to Arthur and May, for the
render spoke In foreign tongue; but new
ertheless they watched it with increasing
interest. And when beautiful queen was
thrust upon the stage, all dressed In scar
let YelVeteen trimmed with white cotton
Datten, their enthusiasm grew.
Every little while the-audience broke In
to applause, and Arthur and May clapped
hands as loudly as any. But all the
time they wished so much to know what
was being said. At the close of the ner.
formance Arthur whispered to May; sup
pose we slip into corner and hide be-

gone we can slip out and 60 behind the

Then, In the confusion of departure, no

ance that evening and which made fine
hiding place.
Pretty soon the hall was empty saye
for Arthur and May. AS they crept out
from their hiding place In the dark, for
the manager of the hall had turned out
all the lights, they found it difficult to get
about among the benches and chairs and

With the candle In hand, Arthur led his
sister out through the hall to the front

turned 1t, but the door would not open; It
was locked. Arthur drew his breath quick

night. He could feel himself growing
