COMMONPLACE cases of in
IL toxication were brought in
at almost regular intervals.
They considered the Jail a convent
ent place to sleep it off, and i'm
mediately made for cell and got
down to the business at hand.
But Mabel was different.
It was early in the evening when
I heard a connection at the outer
door. It sounded as if three or four
persons were jabbering at once.
Mabel was drunk, gloriously
drunk, singingly drunk, and, above
all, affectionately drunk.
Matron Goldman was doing her
best to go through with the required
searching. And Mabel was doing
her best to kiss the matron.
Line of Red
The struggle went on until the
matron flung Mabel away from her
and left the cell room. / saw a long
line of red across the back of the
matron's neck, from which the blood
waT oozing.
There stood Mabel, suddenly silent
and glaring at me in kind Of
drunken stupor.
Then she saw me.
My blood fronze and my muscles
stiffened. She was edging closer
and closer, idly, aimlessly, but al
ways with a certainty that terror
lied me-
Then called to The matron. Mabel
turned toward me and stopped to
listen.
What do you want?" said the
matron.
"What-what about Mabel?" I
stammered, for 1 did not want the
drunk girl to hear me say 1 was
afraid of her.
"Aw, she's harmless replied the
woman and went out again to wash
the blood from her neck.
Other girls came out, but Mabel
never saw them. She had chosen
me.
Dots Cell
reached the door Of Dots cell.
She and Marge were in it.
slipped in and sat down between
them, saying 1 had come to make a
call.
Within twenty seconds, Mabel was
at the door.
"Get on out Of here with that
BREATH said Marge. I was aston
ished, but gloried in her nerve. Mabel
only moved nearer.
Go on, get away. I don't want
no second hand drunk" shouted

her, but the bullet glanced.
In time she went to live with the
man she should have married. She
had no money for a divorce. Here
she was in jail and here she would
stick before she would go back to
her husband.
All the time Mabel was singing at
the top Of her voice. After the ball
was over
Cieanest Person There
Soon the matron was bringing in
"a small woman. She was very
quiet.
She walked past my cell and then
came back and. sat down with me,
explaining. You look like the clean
est person here"
She puzzled me, and 1 asked the
inevitable question.
Il am a drug addict" she said
with a certain gentleness. She was
in an agony Of nervousness.
At last she lay down and went to
sleep.
Then two negro dope fiends were
brought in. They were quarreling
violently, not touching each other,
but swapping their fingers and STEP
ping about with exaggerated swag-
ger and arrogance.
Eyes and teeth glistended. They
were wild animals, only waiting to
spring.
My head reeled. made a move
toward Dot and Marge, who were
budding together. A third dope
fiend was brought in.
My mouth and throat were hot
and dry I tried to watch them all.
Then I heard a yell.
Next: get four hours sleep.
