The period OF restraint In durance

In consequence OF conduct riotous. un'
ssemly, and In general prejudlced 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. n 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 n. III. and II
was little short OF 10 y. IN. when his
post-prandial repose was disturbed by
the rattle OF key in the lock OF the
door to his cell.
Sitting up, Mr. Barcus rubbed HIS
eyes and combed his hair with his fin
gers.
What did tell you?" he observed
resignedly 1T begins again already

disesteem on the part OF his jailers TO

smartly; what's that last again."
Patiently the Judge repeated the
sentence from the message.

Not until a sound nights sleep had
