When the strangely mated pair

guest to restaurant Of a good
but plain type.

Something's
Yessir, something
Seated at a table that was
properly appointed, but not elab-
crate enough to embarrass his
young guest, Judge Hoyt settled
himself comfortably in his chair
and adjusted his napkin, while
Fibsy, watching him closely, fol-
lowed every motion with a like
one OF his own. He took a sip
Of water Immediately after his
model had done so, and replaced
the glass with an initiative ges-
ture, extending his stubby little
finger IN the manner Of the 9TH

Judge Hoyt noticed all this,
but, seeing that F'ibsy was in
earnest and entirely unself-
conscious, he ignored it and let
the boy have his lessons in ETH
quette.

they can't find the feller-fel- |

why, yes, it's not difficult, |
once you know it, And Judge |
Hoyt carefully taught the young |
seeker after knowledge how to |
pronounce the word in question. |
" eli, now wouldn't that jar |
you!'' and Fisby smiled, de-
lighted at his own accomplish |
ment. All that fooled me was |
that P to begin it with. IF it
hadn't been for that, I'd a |
Joined it long ago. Well, I got
that book, an it tells you how to
know wen mans a criminal

"Teo careless to be guilty.
