And the JUDGE Dreamed On.

While trying an old woman on a
charge of stealing faggots Judge who
had acquired the habit of thinking

heard the observation and repeated it
to the jury, whereupon the Judge

we boys never tattle like the girls do.
No sir! A boy never tattles.

There were many little curves and
