A STUDY IN BLUE
CAUSED BY FLIRTING WIT
 FRIENDS HUSBAND.
Eula Adams. Affinity of Henry Brown, Told Police Court of the Ro- mantle Cause of the
 Knockout.


 Eula Adams, a negro woman, has learned that 1t is unsafe to flirt with the husband of her friends. lump on the front of her head, embellished with iodoform and moist gauge, giving her pensive little face an etherial touch. testifes to her having forcibly ac- Quired the lesson.
 It all happened after the meeting of the 'Sciety" in the hall on Hull Street night before last. Henry Brown. who, of course Is Sallie Browns hus- band. considered Eula his affinity. He had left his wife at home at work while he went for spiritual consola- ton to the society, and when the meet ing was over gallantly offered his arm to Eula to see her home.
 They did not see a shadowy form crouching behind near by tree. did not see 1t fit. ghost-like. from shadow to shadow. following them. They did not even hear or see a second shad- owy form. known to all the world as Lizzie Harmon, join the first shadowy form and hand out long. hard, fence picket. s
 As the couple sat o.i the steps of the home when they reached 1t. they did
 not see Lizzie slip up and catch Eula
 by the elbows. but they did hear an awful tilwack when Sallie pasted Eula over the head with the picket. Henry folded his tents and silently stole away. and then seeing them selves without anyohe to interfere. the three started a survival of tue Attest that for action would make Thermopy-
 lac seem like a pink tea.
 Emily Grimes was asleep in room upstairs, and thoroughly convinced, all though a charter resident of the dar- ky-town Champs Eiysee, that judg- l ment day had slid off the retaining
 skids and was beginning to operate. | she got strangle holt on the mos quito net. swung out over the foot of the bed, and clad in a scared ex- pression, leaned from the window and informed Marse Gabriel. that although | sinner in a small measure. she was: Present early, sir."
 By this time Sallie had arrived at the same conclusion and was convinced when she heard the words of the wo- man up stairs. With sigh, she shrivelIed up and capitulated and the
 two shadowy forms backtracked to the fastnesses of the uttermost part of the street. But luckily the blow given the woman had landed on her head. or she might have been hurt. Her dazed senses were regained after a bit and she went inside and telephoned the. po- lice where she believed her assaifants could be found.
 Yesterday evening in police court. Sallie was asked why she had not eaten her husband instead of Eula. She said she had attended to that also. that when Henry came home she had interviewed him. Honry's uncomfort- able posture in his chair bore, out the statement.
 In the examination Sallie was asked how far she lived from the society hall, and naively answered. mot so very far., and a good little piece, too."
 The court counted the answer on his fingers and repeated the question, to which Sallie replied, you go roun' dis corner" making motions with her hands, "and den around dat an day Is de sciety, den you turn roun' and come back dis way. den go dat, den gone roun by Miss Rawberson's house and at de odder side CT dat, day whay live"
 Lizzie completed the testimony by denying having been present and said she was only standing in the middle Of the street running.
 In conclusion, the judge nopped his forehead and said he would fine them each $5, and he did.
