Jailbird.
The period of rst mint In durnnm

In coniequenco of conduct riotous, un
seemly, and In general prejudiced lo
the public peace of the New itedfoid
waterfront at half-nast four In tins
morning, proved In tho upshot fur
mora brief than had been fondly
hoped, not only by hla Just Judge, but,
alngularly enough, by the tnlsdetueuu
ant htmaelf.
Taking everything gravely Into con
sideration. Including a person anv
tblng but prepossessing, the Judge
reckoned that. In default of a fine of
one hundred dollar, a ten-day lay-up
for repalrB and repentance wan not too
much to mete out to the prisoner at
the bar.
He was sentenced ut 10 a in and It
was little abort of 10 p. in. when hll
post prandial repose una disturbed by
the rattle of a key In the lock of the
door to his cell
Sitting up, Mr Marcus lulibed his.
eyes and combed hla hulr with his lin
gers. "Whut did 1 tell you?" he observed
resignedly It liogliia again already
Conducted vlth every evidence of
dlseateem on the purt ol his Jailers to
tho office of the warden, he was ac
quainted with tho fact that his fine
had been paid by no one 1,'ss than the
Judge himself then present In portly
and solicitous person
"If only you had told uie you were
friend of Mr lUghy's." the Judge
hastened to aaj ne anon us the two
were easconaed In tha prtvac) ol the
Judicial llmoualne, "i would bar
known better how to guide myiali iu
this unfortunate affair
"And If you will t n'od enough to
lndi-'uto how else I mu 11 rve you
?''
"Dlgby didn't Offer am suggestions

"Naturally I'd like a hath and a

being explored; 'ami I coald do with

"TIiIb is what Mr Digb) saya," the
judge Interrupted, laboriously de
ciphering the message by tha light of
a match "Plage see to Immediate
release of one Thomas llanus, iirob
ably In Jail in your Jurisdiction for riot

wants and look to ma for n iniincni

"Eh?" Man un interrupt.il sitting up
smartly, what's that last ag.ilu?"
Patiently the Judge repeated the
Ben fence from the message

Mis private comment was "I've bus

And this phase of Incredulity per
alated In coloring the complexion of
