JaiiDlTQ.
The period of restraint in durance
vile suffered by one Thomas Barcus
in consequence of conduct riotous, un-
seemiy, and in general prejudiced TO
the public peace of the New Bedford
waterfront at 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 a person any
thing but prepossessing, the judge
reckoned that, in default of 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 it
was little short of 10 p. m. when his
post-prandial repose was disturbed by
the rattle of 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 ac-
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
a friend of Mr.. Digby's," the judge
fastened to say as soon as the two
were ensconsed in the privacy Of the |
judicial limousine, Il would have |
known better how to guide myself In |

Eventually persuaded, the clerk
yielded up the key to Mr.. Lawrence's
suite of rooms, together with two
notes superscribed with the same nom
de guerre.
Alan's impotence was so great that
he could hardly wait to examine these
communications until he was quit of
the public eye.
The first proved to be a character
istic communication:

picked up the special train, flying ike

There was scaut room for doubt
that it was the train they sought. Spe-

to focus binoculars upon the rear plat

The man in the white coat, Alan as

And hardly had he comforted him

inquiry the aviator merely shook a
weary head and muttered the words:

their quarry as was the mob.
And they swarmed up the rigging
after him without a moments hesita

Holly pressed, the fugitive climbed
higher and still higher, until at length
he gained the topmost yard; with
three policemen not half a dozen feet
below him and popping away for dear
life. If happily with the VIGOROUSLY
poor craftsmanship of policemen gen

None the less, there was no telling
when some accident might wing a bull
let into the young man; and it was
evident that he so decided.
For, fnching out to the end of the
yard, he waved his hand toward his
prosecutors with a gesture Of light
hearted derision that Enthusiastically
identified him as Alan Law to Mr.. Bar
Gus, and forthwith dropped to the wa
ter, feet foremost.
Aldn later took the water neatly,
came up uninjured and clearheaded,
and without an instant's hesitation
struck away toward the middle Of the
Hudson.
AS this happened the police ran to
the stern of the square-rigger, IN
moored a dory that was riding there,
and threw themselves into it.
During the Ito Barcus, at least)

ferryboat drew stolidly farther and

Gus could not tell whether. as it
seemed, the police-laden dory was real

illusion Of perspective deceived him.
AT all events, it seemed a frightfully
near thing when the interruption be-

Alan.

fore wofring over them.

There isn't anything new OF
novel in these suggestions
You have heard them and read
them hundreds Of times before.
But they are just as good as
new to anyone who will try
them out systematically.
Health is much a matter of
sane living. And many people
keep well in spite of the foolish
things they do instead of be-
cause of the sensible rules they
follow.
Put on your thinking cap
these days. Sum up yonr daily
habit of living, eating, breath
ing and exercising. If it isn't
up to the common sense ideas
you have on the subject, and
you wonder why you have cold
and coughs and Indigestion or
the "billious blues" get out
your pencil and make a list of
health resolutions.
Then make up your mind to
keep them!

A FEW REASONS

Why we try to keep the BEST
grades of everything in our

LIST. Is because we have only
white, free born, American
citizens to deal with. snd every
body knows they are the BEST
people on earth, and are entitle
to the BEST of everything thai
can be bought.
End, Is because the REST i 1
always the cheapest, as ever,
body knows that low grades are
high at any price.
Our motto is TO try ty keep
IN stock the BEST the marked
affords, treat our customers the
BEST we know how. give I h e
BEST prices for all the produce
we can handle.
