His spelling, how- ever, was hardly less “fierce” than the wind that made her think of him. Her age was quoted at 17 years, but she looked to be in the early twenties.

To which Uncle Patrick retorted by displaying a number of large which, he declared, had been cast into his house through glass that had been unfractured until that mo- ment. Then the defendant’s wife | stood uv in court and exclaimed that if any window smashing was done she was the person who did it, but the gospel truth was that Uncle Patrick had trified with truth. In her opin- ion Uncle Patrick’s penchant for pre- varication was a gitt, as it was too strong to have been acquired. It must have been born with him, she declared, and thank goodness, it did not afflict any of his relatives, either by blood or marriage. The lady was still speaking when Judge Fritz re- moved a supporting hand from his forehead and told all the Dalys to go home. | ey Miss Aileene Hill, putative daughter of Melpomene, scored one when she caused the arrest and detention of Tomaso Felepedas on the charge of vagrancy. She was accused of having stolen a diamond ring from Romeo Hale and giving it to Tomaso as a token of her undivided affection, and Tomaso swore that he had never seen the bauble. Then she swore to a re- taliative complaint, alleging that Tomaso was a vagrant and soon after- ward it was whispered to the detec- tive that another search of the apart- ment which had been jointly occupied by Aileene and Tomaso in the 800 block of Howard street might result more successfully than the former | quest of the ring. The hint was acted | upon and the ring found in a bureau drawer. Romeo will recover his prop- erty, of course, and-it will remain with Judge Mogan to decide whether Afleene is a thief and Tomaso a va- grant. \ Alleene says that although she re- ceived a thorough training for the dramatic stage, the short-sighted managerial policy of the Frohmans and the Belascos and the Moroscos has compélled her to confine her his- trionic efforts to minor theaters, whose stars are not “‘featured” as they would be in more pretentious houses. That and not any lack of acting ability on her part is the cause of her com- parative obscurity in the profession. But she has hopes. . . Patrolman Maloney, whose special official function is to prevent human | somnolence in Union Square, bagged no less than five sleepers in a bunch last Friday afternoon. When he en- tered the square at its southeast cor- ner, he averred, his ears were assailed by a dissonant chorus of snores and following the sound it led him to the nurthwest corner, where he found the quintet in unconscious operation. His catch embraced one jockey, one deck- hand, one horse trainer, one paper hanger and one hotel steward—or, at least those were the vocations claimed respectively by the defendants. Each of the men entered the same plea— that he sat down to rest and was lured to the hug of Morpheus by the sight of another person wrapped in slum- ber. Judge Mogan vainly endeavored to ascertain who was the first of the five to fall asleep and start the infec- tion and then dismissed them all with a warning. Roy Brennan and Fred Pulven, 17- year-olds, were arrested as suspicious characters, but the police failed to con- nect them with any offense more seri- ous than that of arriving here as| brakebeam tramps and having neither employment nor money, and suggest- ed to Judge Mogan that he order them to leave the. city. After interrogating the lads the Judge declined to adopt the suggestion. “I don't see why. these boys should be compelled to resume tramping.” he said. "They came here from the East to find. employment, they say, and their appearance and manner do not belie their statement.
