Banishment Over Line. JT was a disastrous day for Rattler, hunter owned by Dr. Colgrove. By the harsh, unreasonable orders of an arrogant policeman, as he thought Rattler was sep- arated from the family to which he had grown so attached in hi several month: sofourn and was taken out into Maryland to make his home. Sunday . had dawned bright and balmy to Rattler as to the rest of the world. A bath on Saturday had given his black and tan coat a well-groomed look People passing stopped and spoke to him. Strolling along the sidewalk in front of where Rattler sat surveying that portion of things he deemed as under his special providence came a police- man_swinging his club. Rattler in a friendly manner stepped down and sniffed inquiringly at a blue trouser lez. Without warning or reason, the swinging club was j head Resentment, of self-defense anger, and the instinet | flamed in Rattler's | brain. The trouser leg, formerly the | subject of inquiry, became then the subject of a justified attack, as it seemed to Rattler. But pursuant to the threat that, it Rattler was still around when the officer returned the next day, he would shoot him, his master feit that he must take Rattler away from his mistress and his playfellows, William and Raymond. A strange farm in a nge Maryland must be his home. “Why,” wonders Rattler. WILLIAM E. WARD. | Tries to Mobilize All the Family on Tour. «RUT vou've got to hold the train: I've got all the tickets!” Gesticulating wildly, a heavily built woman _arrived just as the gate to the train shed swung to. What began a com mand ended in a wail as the gate. man nonchalantly gave the signal to go. It was plain that many similar plaints had hardened him. With ill-conceal- ed chagrin, she continued her pac- ing up and down before the gates, ess whose cubs had been taken away. Finally, at the far end of the tation, she spied the lost members of her party, sitting disconsolately on their baggage outside the gates, fear- |ful to venture forth without their tickets. At her approach the husband meek- Iy attempted to explain how it- all happened, but was cut short by his wife, who ordered the smiling porter to rémove the.baggage to the waiting room to await the next train. Dozens of similar cases come ‘to the attention of the Travelers' Aid every day, according to those in | charge of ‘the Union Station booth. { Thousands of questions a day are an. swered.

The bun- galow was painted white, with green shutters, and a row of nastur tiums bloome g {luxuriantly o each side of the low steps. There was an| air of expectan: about the place— like a dog who senses the coming ‘of his master and can hardly repress. his joyous barking until that comes The old man turned to the guest with a half sigh and said haltingly “I hope—I do hope—they'll like it.” He was a tall, spare old man, with dark eyes sunk deep beneath start lingly thick white evebrows—eyes which glowed youthfully as he be- gan to tell the story of the little bungalow. The story began in Eng- land nearly half a century ago. A man and a girl, betrothed, were await ing the sailing of the next boat to America. A few days before the sail ing date, the girl contracted a fatal malady and died—died on the day which was to have been their wedding Several weeks later the man ar- rived in America—alone and with an ineradicable image in his mind and heart of his dead sweetheart and the home they had planned to make to- gether. America had not proved to be the land of opportunity for him that it has been for many of its foreign-born citizens. Life had been a long and hard struggle. It had left him a bent and careworn old man with only the dreams and memories of the past for company. Out of those dreams had grown the little bungalow—a shrine to his sweetheart of long ago. He had built into it with his gnarled and wrinkled hands the of~a lifetime.. The savi of 40 years had been used in the erection of the little bungalow. And strangers were com- ing to live' there—strangers, but newlyweds. He had insisted on that and had refused to let the place to several elderly applicants. He was determined that youth and romance and love should dwell in his house of dreams. They were to move in that after- noon and as the guest said good-bye to the man she fervently hoped that they would “like it,” and find beneath its roof something more than a mere shelter from the elements. MARY H. CARROLL. Speed Limit? Not In This Traffic Court! T is said that “‘the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind ex- ceeding small This is only half true of the mill which is grinding out justice at the night Traffic Court these days. Very few escape, but if there is a speed limit on the wheels of justice it is being exceed. | ed very seriously in the Traffic Court at Sixthand D streets. Five minutes seems to be the average time allotted each case for arraign- ment before the bar of justice, prosecution, de. fense, verdict and sentence. The luckless victim, usually looking like a whipped cur, is called before the judge; the clerk, in a loud, mo- notonous voice, reads the charge; the defendant pleads guilty or not guilty as the case may be; the policeman who has arrested him takes the stana, followed by the defendant, who promptly denfes everything the of- ficer said; the judge grunts, “Ten dollars! and the next case is called. Just like that! Not every one pays the penalty. Talk saved one voluble man $10. He told the judge of his respectable fam- ily connections, his irreproachable his unimpeachable business ca- innocence of the present charge. He was let off on his personal bond. Another smiling gentleman, when asked by the judge, “What've you got to say for yourself?” promptly re- plied, “Not a word.” He paid and de- parted. SUSAN ALEXANDER. OFFICER ANSWERS WIFE. Comdr. J. W. W. Cumming Denies Charge of Jealousy. Comdr. John W. W. Cumming, U. today filed an answer to the -petition of his wife, Mary Dick- son Cumming, for a limited divorce. Cumming had sued his wife for an absolute divorce and she countered with a suit for a limited divorce aft- er denying the charges made against her by her husband. Through Attorney Thomas M. Baker the naval officer denies that he is in- sanely jealous, as claimed by his wife, and asserts that he warned her their matrimonial bark was going on the rocks because of her fondness for dancing and receiving attention from other men. He asked that the wife's petition be dismissed and that he have an absolute divorce from her. COMPANY NOTES APPEAL. Woman Given Verdict for $3,000 Against Western Union.
