humorous when he said: 81 am only an
humble light of the bar never have
money on which to go away and spend

he had decided on the above course. The
boy is accused of stealing from his uncle
who is bad man. Lulu Milo, an aunt
gave the money to Willie to deposit in
bank. The boy went to work and on re-
turning at noon made it known, in reply
to question, that he had not yet been to
the bank. Douglass Milo, +" said LAWYER
Wells, lis the chief crap shooter in Dor
dentown, and up to this time had borrowed
considerable money from Willie, who
thought this good chance TO get even,
and he did not take the cash until he
learned that the deposit was to be made
in the name of his uncle, with whom
Willie is not yet square. The youthful

does not drink and was never accused be-
fore

enabled the court to consider your case in
a mild light, inasmuch as the Prosecutor
has concurred. l don't propose to inflict
very severe punishment, but hope it will
serve as a guide to your future action l
will parole you, but you mnst pay the
cost of prosecution"
