AT LEAST GOT RID OF IT
Defendant Had Not Strictly obeyed
Courts Order. But Neither Was
He in Contempt.

Murray l.. Pennell. a defendant In
the indianapolis dynamiting case,
caused little diversion in court pro
ceedings while under cross-exRmina-
tion. Pennell had been vigorously
chewing gum while on the stand.
IF you'll take your gum out OF your
mouth We'll x, along faster-we
wouldn't be wasting SO much time"
said United States Attorney Miller.
Yes, take your chewing gum out of
your mouth" commanded Judge An
derson
Pennell sat in the witness chair ap-
parently not making any effort TO obey
the order OF the court.
What, don't you hear the order?"
asked Miller. after there had been ST.
lence in the courtroom for fully min
ute and Pennell had made no visible
movement.
II swallowed it," mumbled Pennell.
Court proceedings were suspended,
while Judge Anderson spun around
twice i'm his swivel chair and hemmed
vigorously.

Last Call for Breakfast.

II was still Iowa when Mallory
awoke. Into his last moments OF heavy
sleep intruded a voice like a town
crier's voice, crying:
Lass call for breakfuss in the Rim
Ing Rar." and then, again puder,
Lass call for breakfuss in Rinin-
rar." and. finally and family. Lass
call breakfuss ri'rar."

face was one of Oriental luxury.

His soft gray eyes seemed 10 search

Mallory translated as one OF difiidence
in place where liquors and cigars
were dispensed
With equal difidence Mallory al

newcomer cautiously:
Excuse me-you look like clergy

The hell you say"
Mallory pursued the question no
further.

CHAPTER .xvI-lcontlnuedl.

Eventually, the car quieted, and
nothing was heard but the rumble and
click OF the wheels on the rails. the
creak OF timbers, and the frog-like
chorus of a few well-trained snorers
AS the porter was turning down the
last of the lights, rumpled pate was
thrust from the stateroom, and the
luscious-eyed man whispered:
Porter, what time did you say we
crossed the Iowa state line?"
Two fifty-five a. m"
From within the stateroom came a
deep sigh, then with a dismal groan:
Call me at two fifty-tive a. m.." the
door was closed.
Poor Mallory, pyjamaless and night
shirtless, lay propped up on his pill
lows. staring out of the window at the
swiftly shifting night scene. The state
of Illinois was being pulled out from
under the train like dark rug.
Farmhouses cleaned or dreamed
lampless. The moonlight rippled on
endless seas of wheat and Indian
corn. Little towns slid up and away.
Large towns rolled forward, and were
left behind. Ponds, marshes, brooks,
pastures, thickets and great gloomy
groves flowed past as on a river. But
the same stars and the moon seemed
to accompany the train. II the flying
witness had been less heavy of heart,
be would have found the reeling scene
full Of grace and night beauty. But
he could not see any charm In all the
world. except his tantalizing other
self, from whom great chasm
seemed TO divide him. though she was
only two windows away.
He had not yet fallen asleep, and
be was still pondering how TO attain
his unmarried, unmarriable bride,
when the train rolled out in air above
great wide river. very noble under
the stars. He knew IL for the Mis-
sissippi He heard a faint knocking
on a door at the other end of the car.
He heard sounds as OF kisses. and
then somebody tiptoed along the aisle
stealthily. He did not know that an
other bridegroom was being separated
from his bride because they were too
much married
Somewhere In Iowa he fell asleep.

MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE
clndy Claimed Caller Was Her Bro

Take Another Look.

The woman left the girl arranging
the dinner table and went TO the
kitchen for something. A great, hulk
ing negro was sitting in the kitchen
vocker. Indignant, the woman hurried
back.
"Cindy," she demanded, what have
| told you about having your beaux in
the kitchen?"
Laws, miss, he amt no beau! Why,

Somewhat mollified, the woman
went back to the kitchen.

Be Happy Today.

He that hath SO many causes OF JOY
and so great, is very much in love
with sorrow and peevishness, who
loses all these pleasures, and chooses
to sit down upon his little handful Of
thorns. Enjoy the blessings of this
day, if God sends them; and the evils
of it bear patiently and sweetly; for
this day only is ours. We are dead to
yesterday and we are not yet born to
the morrow. But if we look abroad
and bring into one days thoughts the
evil of many, certain and uncertain,
what will be and what will never be,
our load will be as intolerable as it
is sonable.-Jeremy Taylor.

In the Composite Car.

II was the gentle strangers turn

chair into which Mallory had Topped.
and said I'm tense. low tone: you

misunderstood. saunter up 10 the bliss

at this man, whose innocent air he
suspected. But he merely drawled:

Would you mind teaching me the
rules?" said the old sport from Ypsi-
lanti
The gambler was growing suspicious
OF this too. too childlike innocence.
He whined: Say, what's your little
game, eh?" but decided 10 risk the
venture. He sat down at table, and
DR.. Temple. bringing along his glass,
drew up a chair. The gambler took
pack of cards from his pocket, and
shuffled them with snap that startled
DR.. Temple and dexterity that de
lighted him.
Go on, it's beautiful 10 see," he
explained. The gambler set the pack
down with the one word CUT" but
since the old man made no effort to
comply. the gambler did not insist. He
took up the pack again and ran of
FIVE cards TO each place with a grace
that staggered the doctor.
Mallory was about to intervene for
the protection of the gulleless physi-
clan when the conductor chanced TO
saunter in.
The gambler, seeing him. snatched
DR.. Temples cards from his hand and
slipped the pack into his pocket
Whats the matter now2" DR.. Tenn
pie asked, but the newcomer huskily
answered.: Wait a minute. Wait a
minute"
The conductor took I'm the scene
at a glance and. stalking up 10 the
table. spoke with the grimness OF a
sea-captain: Say. I've got my eye
on you. Don't start nothin'."
The stranger stared at him wonder

growled, and then turned on the be
fuddled ole clergyman, "and you. too"
ME, too?" the preacher gasped.
"Yes, you too" the conductor re-
peated, shaking an accusing forefinger
under his nose. Your actions have
been suspicious from the beginning.
We've all been watching you"
DR.. Temple was so agitated that he
nearly let fall his secret. why, do
you realize that I'm "a"
"Ah, don't start that" sneered the
conductor, II can spot a gambler as
far as can see one. You and your
side partner here want 10 look out,

His Honor Was Safe.

Chief Justice Isaac Russell OF the
court of special sessions tells how he
went to the city hall to call on the
mayor on rainy day, and as he was
leaving the building he slipped and
bumped all the way down the stone
steps. A man rushed up, helped him
10 his feet and asked;
rs your honor hurt?"
NO" replied the Judge; my honor
remains intact, but my spine seems
TO be Jared. New York Sun.

There With the Nerve"

The conversation led to the beauty
OF having abundant nerve the other
evening, when Senator Clapp Of Min
nesota told of a man who went into
a fashionable restaurant, accompanied
by a couple of children, and after
ordering a lemon soda, asked the
waiter to bring him three plates.
This, according to Senator Clapp, the
waiter did, but when he saw the man
take some sandwiches from his
pocket, put them on the plates, and
pass them around to the kids, he re-
ported the matter to the boss. What
are you doing?" Indignantly cried the
manager, rushing over to the sand
witch party. Don't you know that
this isn't a free picnic ground, where
you bring your own food?" Us that
