Punished Enough.

This young man has been punish
ed enough. He probably never will
recover from the burns on his leg.
He will be in pain for the rest of his
life. During severe cold spells in win
ter and extreme heat in summer the
pain will be increased. Although he
admits he had the knife in his hand
l am going TO dismiss the case be-
cause he will be punished enough
Authorities said that Walters leg
was in a bad condition. He failed to
get medical attention soon enough and
because of this it is doubtful if he will
ever again be able to use the limb.

Mabel Normand has upset an old
theory and given the signing type of
lover real jolt. She is proving in
the movies that it's just as easy to
laugh at pretty woman as it is to
sigh for her. Mabel is pretty, there
is no doubt about that And instead
of using her beauty to bring tears
she injects it into her film work to
bring real laughs Miss Normand is
also proving that comedians on the
screen are very, very serious people
when they're not posing for a scream
maker. She confesses that when she
is not posing for ludicrous antics of
Keystone Mabel she is watching pic
lures and rubbing elbows with the
ordinary movie fans This business
of being funny, she thinks, is after

Important events have hung on de-
cisions as trifling and as wholly die

TWO girls to try new bakery. While
they were selecting their buns they
saw a young man who was giving an
order at the desk. He was a fIashy-
looking youth, with a touch of the
Bohemian about him. And Mona, peer
Ing at him, was convinced that she had
seen MIN somewhere in the past. He
paid no attention to either of the girls,
and Mona had a good chance to study
him. She noticed that he kept his left
hand carefully in his pocket. But an
accident, the dropping of some of the
coins he had received in change, COM
PEELED him to remove 1t and now Mary's
attention was attracted as well as
Mona's. Both were struck by the curl
GUS tattooed design on the back Of the
hand-a design familiar to them as
''The Devils Sign," consisting of a
small demon dancing on an Inverted
cross. But 1t was only Mona who
seemed to see any real significance in
this. Mary understood her signal, and
they both followed him.
"But why?" asked Mary, when they
were on his trail.

Even when the young man turned in
at the impressive entrance OF the

on following him. And when she saw
him sit down before a certain picture,
unpack a small easel, and set to work
copying the picture, she was greatly
excited.
"Come on" said Mona. ST want to
