Brooklyn, N. "a young man as
skinny as living skeleton in circus
went into tailor shop the other day
and emerged in few minutes with q
waistline like Fatty Arbuckle's. Pa
trolman Jerry Mcmahon, who wit
messed the transformation from the
corner watched the man waddle slow
ly down the steps into cellar. Then
he called his partner, Patrolman
Walsh, and, creeping quietly to the
stairs, made dash through the cellar
door,
"He must have weighed 300 pounds
and now he has ducked," exclaimed
Mcmahon, just as his partner shouted:
"LOok herew
Walsh had stumbled over a bolt Of
navy uniform cloth and large guam
tity unwound from another bolt. There
was perhaps $1,000 worth of goods in
the pile.

Petrograd because of menshevistic
writings from his pen.
The police now claim to have learned
that Lewitzki was taking French les
sens from Dagmar. and that she lured
him, as well as her ex-sweetheart, to
the den of the Cossack.
But while the other prisoners are
signing confessions in the hope Of re-
ceiving leniency, Hadjetlache, the Cos
sack, keeps his own counsel, refusing
even to deny his guilt. And Dagmar
lights one cigarette after another and
smiles at her jailers.

Offenders "I:ined" to Save;
They Get So They Like 1t

In the police courts of New
York state it is getting to be a
common practice to sentence
minor offenders to term of
saving, and in Syracuse last year
$1,000 was invested in this way
in war savings stamps, all later
returned to the men or used to
help their families. At Niagara
Falls, when David Broderick
was placed on probation six
months ago and ordered to give
the probation officer $12 a week
for war savings stamps, he COM
planned bitterly At the end of
six months he received $230.50
worth of stamps, and he volun-
tarily placed himself on indef-
mite probation, promising to
bring in $40 q week to continue
his savings investment.

One Kalve, an ex-wrestler, doorman

Hadjetlache notified Moscow of Ar

| word came back to "extinguish" him,
according to the police.
Then the colonel called on Dagmar.
She had loved the liking of the ladies"
as Ardasheff styled himself, and was
furious when he deserted her. Hadjet-
lache played upon her fury. He also
enlisted the aid of the monarchists

trees in front OF his villa, until one
night when he came ont with her and
they went riding together. He was

of mysterious nocturnal happenings.
There was raid and so persons, in

wrongdoings, but others confessed that
Ardasheff, after being lured to Hadjet-

for twenty-six hours, tortured and
tainted and accused of treason to boil

ing looted. Then Ardasheff's bonds
were cut and he was 'tried by court

But the Cossack was not satisfied.
He believed Ardasheff possessed Sc

Then, with a cigarette poised on her
