Heated; in Fact, Hot.

And then there followed a controversy.
1t was heated. to use a well-worn but
perfectly good phrase, and in the end
the policeman hoped into the buggy and
took the brOad-hatted gentleman around
to police station No. !, where it became
evident that the prisoner was a south
erner and was being charged with pro-
fanity-and lots of it. varied, variegated,
lurid, personal and original.
The southern gentleman kept it going
to some extent even while he was being
examined at No. !, but he did quit in
time to let them know that he was not
the owner of the horse.
About this time hatless, breathless
real estate agent rushed out of the Dis
trict building.
Somebody's run off with my horse and
buggy! Where did they go?' he shout
ed. The crowd of laborers waiting there
to induce Louis Wilson, disbursing Of
ficer, to exchange brass numbered checks
for real money did not seem disposed to
enter into conversation with the hatless
one. So he rushed inside and began to
telephone to all the police stations in
the city. 1t looked if horse thief
chase would commence

The lone policeman who stands guard
by the District building was making his
rounds placidly day or two ago, when
there dawned upon his Mortified mind the
fact that horse was standing with his
fore feet upon the District buildings own
sidewalk.
The horse was hitched to a two-seated
surrey. Upon a seat of the surrey sat a
gentleman with a broad black hat.
Get that horse off the sidewalk" said
the policeman.
IF you want this horse to get off that
sidewalk you put him off yourself,

was more in the way of expletive than
explanation.
You better shut up and get that horse

many questions asked by the audience
at the Casino Theater last night when
Count Chilo and THE Girl of Mystery,

Cooled Off IS Worth.

In the meantime No. had managed to
cool the southern gentleman to a state
where he would disgorge S. as collateral,
the price of his profanity. And all this
time no one had found out that the
southern gentleman was not the owner
of the horse at all.
1t was not until the frantic, hatless
real estate agent had reached No. l on
the telephone did it become known that
the horse and buggy were his.

Traffic conditions are 10 a degree con-

duties of a clergyman.
