'Tll bring them to you," Vernon
said. You sit here and hold court"
He rose and his eyes swept the
chamber. They lighted on Burns, and
an idea suddenly came to him. He
would revenge himself on Burns for
all the sights of the session.
"Of course you'll have to see Sam

fellow from the First district stood up
and looked inquiringly.
Come with me-" Vernon said;

Burns followed and an instant later
Vernon halted before Miss Greene.

turned to her side, made way, and
Vernon said:

Miss Greene smiled on the big sa-

COSIER LOST HIS
 GALLON OF RUM
Danbury Policeman Tells Funny Story When Hailed Before a Newtown Justice
 for Fishing Out of Season.

Harry B. CoSier, a special polfce- man of Danbury, figures in an anus ing trial which took place in Newtown a week ago. COsier was arrested on a. grand jurors warrant by Deputy Sheriff D. s. Johnson and taken before Justice Mccarthy on a charge of fish ing for trout before the law allowed it. John R. Peck testified that he saw Cosier fishing and that he also saw a trout in Cosier's basket. CoSier denied strenuously that he had been fishing or that he had caught any trout. He explained his presence on the brook in Newtown in this way:
 You see, your honor, I went over to Newtown to dig some worms the day before the law went off There are so many sidewalks in the big city of Danbury that we don't have any worms over there. So I got up at $ o'clock on the last day of March and took the train for Newtown. We got the worms all right. Somebody said that he would bet gallon of rum that no one could go on to J. R. Peck's land without being driven off. So I borrowed a pole and put line on it, but no hook, and went down the brook. Well, you see, Peck saw me and drove me off and. I lost the gallon of rum which cost me $2.''
 MT. Peck testified that he saw Co., sier fishing with a hook and bait on the end of his line and that he had one fish in his basket. Cosier says Peck lied. The justice gave a yer dict of not guilty and all that the Danbury policeman is out is the gallon of rum and his expenses.
