Jailbird.


The period OF restraint in durance
vile suffered by one Thomas Barcus
in consequence OF conduct riotous, un-
seemly. and In general prejudiced to
the public peace Of the New Bedford
waterfront ut half-past four In the
morning, proved in the upshot far
more brief than had been fondly
hoped not only by his Just Judge, but,
singularly enough, by the misdemean-
ant himself.
Taking everything gravely into con-
sideration, including person any
thing but prepoesessing. the judge
reckoned that, in default of q fine OF
one hundred dollars, a ten-day layup
for repairs and repentance was not too
much to mete out to the prisoner at
the bar
He was sentenced at 10 a. m. and 1t
was little short OF 10 p. m. when his
post.prandial repose was disturbed by
the rattle OF a key in the lock of the
door to his cell.
Conducted with every evidence OF
disesteem on the part of his jailers to
the office OF the warden, he was &C.
quainted with the fact that his fine
had been paid by no one less than the
Judge himself: then present in portly
and solicitous person.
IF only you had told me you were

fastened to say as soon as the two

Judge interrupted. laboriously de-

Alan shrugged. So he was to be
lured away from New York and Rose
by this transparent trick, was he? No
fear!
With plenty OF time OIL his hands,
he gave the matter serious considera-

It was just possible that Urine had
taken Rose with him on his western
trip, after all. In such case the only
possible way of overtaking the special
