Good Morning, Judge"
Human Interest Stories of By
Police Court Happenings. PERKINS PERKINS
Saturday Night Joys.


A woman does not have to take a
bath unless she wants to, as
Emmanuel Madern found to his sor-
row yesterday morning. Saturday
being her regular bathing night. friend
wife refused pointblank to dive in the
family tub. Emmanuel, not being
given to argument, drew a bucket OF
water and poured 1t on his spouse.
Her Sunday clothes were all ruined
up. and Emmanuel spanked her and
locked her In her room. Judge Pugh
sent him down for thirty days. but
his wife went throught a change OF
heart and persuaded the court to
place him on probation.
Fare Thee Well, John.
1t was too long a wait until payday
for John Walsh, and he needed a
drink the worst way. So John thought
up a little scheme. He went into a
downtown department store, i'm
personated United States Senator.
and bought twenty-four silver spoons
and had them charged to the account
of the Senator. for whom he had
once worked. He carried the spoons
over to the dry State Of Virginia and
deposited them in a hock-shop, then
came back and wetted his whistle.
So the long arm of the law reached
out. yanked John into Police Court.
and Judge Pugh sent him down for
ninety days.
Fred Was Patriotic.
The great amount of publicity given
the farming movement aroused Fred
Dorsey to the Importance Of doing his
bit. But he lacked the money. 1t
Is said that Dorsey broke into a
neighbor's barn and swiped two plows
and some harness. He was caught
plowing with one of the plows, ana
after search of his premises, the
other things were recovered. Fred
pleaded with Judgh Pugh that II he
sent him to Jail his children would
starve, and his garden would go to
blazes, so the court sentenced him to
serve thirty days and paroled him.
Sweet Sympathy.
Mary Halter has a sweetheart who
answered the call to the colors a few
weeks ago, and the last she heard OF
him he was on his way to the front.
Maggie Cromer called around to
Mary's house on Wednesday to con-
sole her on her temporary loss. A
few catty words were exchanged.
Mary said something about Maggie
being a little too interested in her
lover. and short and ugly words came
into use. Maggie slammed a bottle al
Mary and altered her facial expression
to such an extent that she appealed
to the police for protection. Mary
was fined so for being too sympathetic.

Gin, Crouch and Trouble.

ohns IIeubles
On the evening of the Fourth, Isaac
Frey had a date TO meet his girl at
dance hall on Georgia avenue
northwest. He was a trjfe late, as he
had the usual trouble with finding his
collar button. On his arrival he
found the light Of his life in the arms
OF another man, and she was so salts
fed that she completely ignored Isaac.
First come, first served, she an
nounced. and Isaac went downstairs
with murder in his heart. He must
have something on which to vent his
feelings. A policeman standing near
noticed Isaac with his yard-wide
crouch and cautioned him to move on.
He swallowed almost half a pint of
gin and then returned and hurled just
l46 cuss words at the policeman. The
court fined him SIS. He will have a
month at occoquan to think 1t over.
TWAS False, Walter.
Someone told Walter Gorrin that
Washington had a duplicate of Lefty
Louie and Gyp the Blood on every
corner and that everybody carried a
small arsenal with him to work
Walter came here to better his condi-
tion and carried an enormous black
jack with him. No one would have
known 1t II he hadn't tried to sew up
all the whisky on Four-and-a-half
street. Then he showed everybody
how he intended to protect himself
He was fined $50.
Terrible Yon Yonson
Yon Yonson's home is in Sweden.
But the trouble with Yon is he won't
stay there. Once in awhile he sails
on a freighter and braves the German
submarines, and comes back to the
U. S. A. He tells his friends all about
the perils of his sea trips, and they
invite him to have a drink. He takes
several and gets seasick. Wednesday
Yon had an admIring crowd of friends
around him, and after he had con-
signed the Kaiser TO the nethermost
regions for sinking a ship on which
he once sailed, he came out on the
street, with three sheets in the wind.
and a policeman took him in tow lest
someone torpedo him again. Judge
Mullowny interned him at Occoquan
for thirty days.
Energetic Mister Logan.
There being no fireworks handy on
the Fourth, Alfonso Logan took the
next best thing. He secured quite
load of firewater and started TO cele-
brate. He picked up an unoffending
brick and hurled 1t through a car
window and almost created a panic.
The conductor and the motorman OBJ
jected. and Alfonso insisted on the
right of every American citizen to ex-
hibit considerable energy on the an
niversary of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. The court thought differ
entity and fined him $50.

minded him, "that in your bag

At the words, Ward burst into a
shout of mad laughter. Pachmann
watched him, and his face fell in
to haggard lines.

CHAPTER XVI.
THE TURN OF THE SCREW.

1t was a moment later that
Kasia Ward, still sitting at the
window staring out into the court,
searching desperately through her
brain for some plan Of escape, was.
brought %quivering to her feet by a
shrlll scream, followed by the
sound OF a terrible struggle on the
floor above. There was a heavy
tramping to and fro, the thud of
falling furniture, a dull crash that
shook the house-and then silence.
1t was over in a moment, but she
stood rigid for a moment longer,
her hands against her heart. then
she flew to the door and wrenched
at the knob.
The door did not yield. Painting
with excitement, she snatched up
a chair and drove it with all her
strength against the lower panel.
The chair flew to pieces in her
hands, but the door held firm. And
then, as she looked about for an
other weapon, she heard the sound
of a sliding bolt, the door swung
open, and Pachmann entered. He
looked at her and at the broken
chair, and smiled slightly.
II come to reassure you, Miss
Yard" he said, "since [ suppose
you must have heard the noise of
our little combat. No one was in
jured; but your father, after a
burst of rage at finding himself
IN our. hands, during which we
found it most difficult to control
him, has had what appears to be
an epileptic seizure. Is he subject
to epilepsy"
II have known him to have two
attacks" said Kasia, in a low
voice, with a shuddering remem-
brance of the desperate crisis at
which each had come.

think, except to loosen his cloth

MISS DID HER SWEET BEST
Dainty Maiden Interfered With Goa
Wagon but Failed in Effort to
Induce Team to Bulge.

Irish profanity is not green. Ere
duently it is blue. 1t was recently--on
State street, above Main, muses. the
Springfield Republican. This cloud of
s%uiphurous rhetoric rose from the driv-
erS seat of an overloaded coal wagon.
Three horses-possibly they belonged
% the union-went on strike. And the
IRISH driver, armed with a whip, tried
to break the strike. And the horses
Tapped their ears, swished their tails
and twisted their necks to blink at
him. A whisp of thin, blue smoke
spouted from his clay pipe to mingle
with the fires of his wrath. The lash
Of his whip smacked the brass-studded
harness. and a crowd on the sidewalk
howled:
"Mush! va bogger, mush!" yelled a
voice.
"yeer out the tiller lines and nail
EN- on the bottom" laughed n sec
pnd.
And still the horses blinked, Michael
rose to new heights of novelty, and the
coal cart sagged.
A young girl tripped down the street
IN a loud coat, shouldered through the
crowd and stared, with n gasp of hor-
ror pursuing her delicate lips. Then
her eyes narrowed, and she stepped
out into the gutter.
you stop beating those horses" she
shrilled, cor I'll have you arrestedn'
Michael glowered ut her, and smiled.
"Sure. and maybe you kin get thin GO
lln',' he suggested.
of course I can" she tossed her
head, and climbed up on the grimy
loud Of coal.
She grasped the ponderous reins In
her tiny hands, stiffened her back and
scorned the whip with an acid smile.
Come, dailings," she cooed, "be nice
n pull this little load right up the
hill" The sidewalk audience hooted.
She did her sweet best. And the off
horse stretched an elastic neck to see
what manner Of malady the gods had
inflicted upon him now. The middle
horse tapped his ears again; the nigh
horse switched his tail. Then all three
sighed with resignation and - didn't
bulge. Finally a motor truck came
along and yanked the cart to the top.
