with a cock and a bull story (so it was
considered) of a real horse thief hav

hand in the proceedings.

him since he was a kid.
Him and me used to play together in
his mother's yard back in Missouri.
Professor Drlesbach opened his eyes.
"When he was six years old," con
tinued his advocate, "he had a fit.
After that he kept having fits. Then
he begnn to steal things. Mother
couldn't keep anything in the cubbard

and l'rofessor Drlesback was acquit

on which they sot.
After the verdict the court, the ac
quitted man, his attorneys and the
spectators went outside and were
about to disperse when a couple of
mounted men were seen driving a
man on a black horse before them at
Hio nnlnta nf their revolvers. They
came up and stopped before the crowd.
"Good gracious," exclaimed the pro
fessor, "that's my horse!" Then to the
man on his back. "'Where did you find
him?"
"Find him!" growled one of his
guards. "He took him."
"I'd been watchin'," said the thief,
"an' when you drew up to the tavern

A rope was brought for the horse

prisoner's life, nnd it was granted on
condition that he leave the country.

were gone Atterbury took Westop
aside and said:
"Do you remember our talk some
months ago about the effect of dresa

"Yes."
"And I bet you a hundred dollars
that before the winter was over I'd
palm off on you a Jail bird?"
"Yes."
"Well, I've done It."
"How? When?"
"This fellow Chesterton is no British'

The two men looked at each other.

changed from interest In the story to

saying, then he ran upstairs.
When he came down he found his
friend walking the floor. "You've won

cost. All the Jewelry that was In a
box on my wife's bureau drawer has
disappeared. It couldn't be replaced
for $5,000."
There was a constrained pause.
"Well." said Atterbury as soon as he
could recover from the shock, "we'll
telephone the police. I'll mail you a
check tonight for $5,000. If the stuff is
found you can return the amount."
The police were telephoned and soon
got on the track of the Hon. Mr. Ches

He was eventually caught and the
jewelry restored. Mr. and Mrs. Wes
ton went to see him in prison garb
and for some time would not believe
that he was thj same man who looked
so aristocratic in Atterbury's cast off
evening dress.
Weston offered to pay the bet, but
Atterbury declined to receive It and
when his friend renewed the offer At

Mrs. Weston had many inquiries con
