all he had to do to escape punishment
was to tell the court that he did not
have the money wherewith to pay the
alimony and other trimmings of the
| divorce suit brought by his wife. A,

He was meeker and less Indifferent
| a few minutes later while occupying a
seat to which the judge directed him,
awaiting the arrival of a policeman to
| take him to Jail. Indeed, he appeared
to have suddenly acquired a hustle that
would have befitted a plunger in stocks

desk, asked that official how much he
had to pay altogether.
Mr.. Bachelor said $97 and All Leong
returned to his seat. He took station

with his knee for a desk. In few
minutes he went up to the clerk again
and offered him three stamped letters
to mail.
