DOG WINS OWN PAROLE PLEA
Sentenced to Refuge at Kansas City,

Kansas City.-Teddy, young Collie
dog, made his own plea to Police
Judge West, Kansas City, Kas., over
parole. In Kansas City, Kas., dogs
charged with misbehavior are SEN
fenced to confinement at the Wyan-
dotte County Humane society animal
refuge for from one to three weeks.
Teddy was sent up for two weeks,
but, having never been away from home
and friends before, he passed both
days and nights in dismal wailing.
The matron, Mrs. Whitford, brought
him into her own rooms and did every
thing to comfort him, but the wailing
continued. Finally she called up
Judge West and asked for Teddy's
parole. While she was talking Teddy
rushed to her side and quite silenced
her voice with his own.
Judge West, having heard the argu-
ment, decided Teddy might go home
and remain there during good behavior.

known all along the Pacific coast as
the cleverest and most slippery prison
er ever placed under arrest, is again
a free man. He escaped from the
government prison on McNeil's island,
In Puget Sound, amid fusillade of
bullets.
Twice In his criminal career, before
he was finally placed behind the bars
on the supposed impregnable McNeil's
island, Gardner had escaped from the
shrewdest men the government could
set to guard him on the way to his
prison. Twice he joked with the man.

and made prisoners in his place. And
twice he laughed when he was recap

So Gardner came to be the most

guarded not by stone walls, and steel
bars, and armed guards alone, but by
the very conspiracy Of natural forces.
1t is set on desolate Isle in Puget
Sound with wide stretch Of water
running at mill race speed between
island and mainland.
Gardner had been In prison for six
weeks when, on Labor day, the prison
ers turned out to watch a baseball
game between two teams of fellow
prisoners. They were In the prison
yard, cut off from liberty by high

corners, in which sat watchful men
with loaded rifles and orders to shoot

Eight-year-Old Jack was invited to

Joe was not. Yet Joe desired some of
the refreshments, SO he gave Jack
some orders about procuring some. "If
they have good cakes or anything you
can carry, take some every time they
offer you any and what you can't eat
bring home to me-"
And when Jack came home he was
well laden with cakes. The bosom
of his blouse fairly bulged with them.
"Oh, you did take some every time
they offered you any," said Joe.
"Yes," admitted Jack, land some
