and later in the evening at the dance

Wraps have taken the place Of the

Judge Reed looked at the child ish face of the lad and asked him fl he would promise to be good and carr on honest living instead of stealing He advised him to do and act jus e Mir. Etrio suggested.
 The boys answers to all queries were "Yes, sir" He was placed 1T custody oS Mir. Etrio and Judge Reet adjourned the case until the May tern of court, in order to give the boy ; chance to show. the court that h. would keep within the law.
