"Stop." whispered the voice Of an
official guest. flung suddenly at Mr..

"Tell me this Tell me what the
Judges in San Francisco do when Mr..
Arbuck, is not in town.
Mr.. Schmulowitz said in his golden
voice that hc really didn't know.
He presumed that they solfed and
perused the newspapers and dawdled in
their clubs.
Forward Mrs. Minnie Neighbours
was found in tears and told not 10 cry
and that Mr. Cohen was going 10 re-
main to war foy her lInHry tomorrow

told the first conflicting stories that SET
the police on Fattys trail.
At the Hall Of Justice. in one Of the
marble corridors. there was n sweet
faced child waiting-a little girl with
appropriate curIs-lPnt for the occasion,
With whom Fatty rompCd before the
camera. II was an idea formulated by
the great McNab iusr before he went
away to lie exhausted on his stately bed
after the rigOrs Of the month iust ended
and his final eloquent indictment Of the
~bloodhound tactics Of the District
ATTORNEY.
O.. Mr.. l'Ren Interrupts
The picture was 10 be issued. labeled
'Mr. Arbuck,e greeting one Of his
yrung admirers and we'll wishors after
his moral victory.' Il was 10 prove
that Fatty was really delightful chap.
The incredible tenseness of the atmos-
pherr about the Hall Of Justice was
demonstrated al that moment. The
guests looked on admiringly and with
genuine sympathy. Fatty really can
make children laugh.
The little lenr girl was Growing wildly
when there was n cOmmotiOn and n
smothcred cry Of pain at the end Of the
corridor. Mr.. U'Ren, the Assistant
District Attorney. appeared suddenly. to
stare in anger. and there was a grind
in his voice as he summoned an at
