the many places where he made the
wrong turn or was showed off the track
by adverse circumstances. He saws To
himself believing what he saws. that if
he could retrace his steps and take a
fresh start, knowing what he knows
now, he would not make such q mess
of things again. He can put his finger

was for him alone to choose the way
to take, and in his haste and fever to
arrive he chose wrong, and has wan
dered ever since.
A man plays a game. or runs a race,
or conducts a business. or marries a

is of no avail 10 nIpad that no had had
advisers, that he was misled, that he
was the tool of environment, that a

a latent faint in the blood broke out
and wrought an irreparable mischief.
The past is there, and its legend is
deeply craven on his brow or scared
by the brand of the iron that has en-

The years and the closed doors and the
finished chapters tell him no.
But the forward look and the futur-

Star BOarder Pays Court 5000
Landlady Wanted Him Taken to Hotel

William Trent sentenced to pay $50
and costs by Judge Fuller, from the
court across the river, Monday morn
ing. Trent was the star boarder at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Armidias Rave
nellie, Elm street. He became SO much
star and so little boarder that the head
of the house thought he had better get
into the limelight little himself and
not leave the whole stage to the star.
So he caused Trent's arrest and he was
charged with assault on Ravenelle.
AS the facts were brought out in
court it was not so much the assault
as too much star that got Trent into
trouble. Ravenelle said that last Fri
day night Trent came home drunk.
He told Trent to keep his mouth shut
or he would make him. Trent then
Ravenelle said that Trent had on
several occasions gone away with his,
Ravenelle's, wife. That he came home
Saturday night and found Trent in his
wife's bedroom. That on a previous
occasion he had seen them together
and his wife had only her night
clothes on. He complained once be-
fore to the police and Trent promised
TO get out but he didn't and he couldn't
get him out so had him arrested.
Witness said that when the man
was taken away by the police his wife
asked that he be taken to a hotel and
not to the police station.
Captain Ryan said the man had
promised to get another boarding
house but didn't do SO. He said the
woman told the officer that if he lock-
ed Trent up at the station she would
come and stay with him There. She
was told that if she did she would be
locked up also.
The prosecutor said there was little
doubt that the man had been guilty of
more serious ofiense than assault but
on account of lack Of evidence he did
not think he was justified in preferring
The charge at this time.
Trent denied any improper relations
with the woman. He said the reason
he did not leave as he promised TO do
was because she wanted him TO stay
another week. He stoutly maintained
his innocence both during the proceed
lngs and after. He was out over Sun
day on bond.
