1.-TWO very mean people faced each
other when Mrs. Sidney opened her
kitchen door in answer to knock
fSIMgAI and saw Old Smart, the peddler,
- standing on the step.
"Good afternoon" said the ped
dler, making his little bow. do you want
to buy"
mo, don't want to buy anything at all, ,"
Mrs. Sidney interrupted, her sharp eyes look
ing sharper, if possible, than usual; "and, If
i did. l wouldn't buy it of you You're
humbug and cheat from first to last, with
your shoddy silverware and cheap spectacies.
You cheated me once, but you will never
do it again, I'll be bound. Clear out now;
and if you ever come to this place again, III
have my son Tom throw you in the fish pond.
Clear out, sayl"
And Mrs. Sidney. gave her apron savage
little flourish, as if she were 'shooing" the
chickens off the porch.
Old Smart was not prepared for this, and
he now looked very malicious as he peered
out from under his heavy eyebrows;
No. he said. you wouldn't DO 50 bad
he laughed scornfully..
"I'll do. what ] say" Mrs. Sidney answer
ed: $50 clear out!"
And, slamming the door in his face, she
relieved her angry feelings by abusing him
to the servant girl.
The peddler walked away muttering. He
occasionally met with rebuff but not often
one like this. Throw him in the fish pond,
indeed!
He walked down the path and through the
orchard beyond which was the little sheet
of water into which Mrs. Sidney had threat
ened to have him cast. The sight of it made
his anger burn so fercely that he turned and
shook his fist at the house from which he had
been driven. :.
he said. 'Ill be even with you yet for in
sulting me-"
Old Smart did not intend that his threat
should be overheard, nor did he know that il
Tom Sidney, stalwart youth, was at that
moment standing Just behind stack g
straw beyond the orchard fence and heard il
all. That was what got Smart into trouble
afterward.
That afternoon seemed to be full of troubl,
and displeasure for the peddler.
After trudging along, the country road fol
time he saw something which seemed t,
be personal menace to him. 1t was no
thing more than the camera of an amateur
photographer eveled at him; but so stroni
was his prejudice against what he callet
''boyish nonsense" and SO sure was he tina

Loses" Him-Registers as Rev.
John Murphy, Chicago.

New York, April 2o.-The passion for
studying sociology at first hand, In order
that he might the better uplift the masses,
has got still another clergyman into
trouble. II is only a short time ago that
the sociological researches Of the Rev.
Mr.. Mears made that reverend gentleman
the defendant in a police court, charged
with having assaulted a police officer.
To-day there was another Police Court
case in which a Clergyman figured-a
man In clerical garb. who registered at the
Bartholdi Hotel Thursday as Rev. dohn
Murphy. Chicago" He should have ap-
peared to-day as complainant against
two negro women who were aFraigned
for highway robbery. but the divine, who
is understood to be prominent in the
Episcopal Church. did not arrive.
The Tombs Police Court was the scene
of the two wOmen's srraignment. When
no complainant put in an appearance
their lawyer, Louis Speigel. endeavOred
to have the charge dismissed. But Mag
istTate House would not consent.
Il know" said Magistrate House. speak
ing with a great deal of indignation.
that the complainant Is a well-known
clergyman. who is seeking TO avoid no
toriety, I suppose, and the magistrates
tone became one Of biting irony; that he
is another student of social conditions in
this very wicked city of New York. " The
women were held in $500 bond. and De-
tective Miller who said the clergyman
could not be found, was told he must
have his witness in court Monday morn
ing
John Murphy" told the police that late
on Thursday night. while walking along
West Thirty-fifth street, he was accosted
by two negresses. He talked with them
for a while, and then one of them seized
him and piniOned his arms. while the
other rifed his pockets. He was robbed,
he declared. OF the sum of $50. If any OF
the money wt.s recovered he asked that
he be notified at the Hotel Bartholdi.
When he brought his prisoners into
court this morning Miller seemed quite
disposed 10 talk about the case until the
Rev. Luke J. Evers, one of the chaplains
of the Tombs prison. arrived. The Rev.
MI Evers is a Roman Catholic priest.
He sent for Miller. and the two men,
seated side by side on one of the court
benches, had protracted conference. AT
the close OF it Miller had apparently for
gotten all that he knew about John

he was wearing a naval uniform. The
management rendered 10 him the 25
