His friend- hip for Mrs, Sarriera was marked and the elderly husband proicsted after the manner of elderly hu:vands. He told his wife not to allow Little to enter the house and when he met Little on the street he refused to speak to him, Mild of manner and singularly inof- fensive ‘n appearance was Sarriera, and his wife paid ttle attention to his fsommands and warnings. Little laughed At him, and visited the house when he Pleased. ‘The wife assured the husband that his suspicions wer» unfounded, and flid not stop to contemplate the possi- ble consequences of u long-nourished prievance, Prom the story of Mrs, Sarriera it ap- \pears that Little passed her home yesterday evening just after the snow pad ceased falling and while the rain Was converting e pavement into a mass of slush.

Then the Magistrate Let Them Go After Trying In Vain to Find a Law Under Which He Could Hold Them. Samuel Ladner, @ wealthy woollen merchant living at No, 1366 Fifth ave- nue, was about to lock up his store at No. 388 Canal street last. night when several friends called and suggested that they all go to dinner together. But to determine who would pay for the meal they decided to viay a game of pinochle. The front door was locked, a table placed near the door, and Ladner and his four friends sat down to play the gathe. Patrolman Fitzgerald, of the Leonard street station, passed the place, and, seeing the game in progress, telephoned to the police station for the reserves and a patrol wagon. A‘dozen policemen arrived in the wagon in a few minutes, and they stormed the front door after making sure that escape was cut off in the rear. All Were Locked Up. Ladner opened the door, and Fitsger- ald announced that all of them were under arrest. No amount of protest or explanation would do. They were bun- dled into the patrol wagon and hurried to the station, where they were locked in cells. Besides Ladner the party consisted of Louis Goldstein, a drummer, of No. 167 East Seventy-fifth street; William Btein, of No. 646 East Ninth atreet; Abraham Jacobs, a woollen merchant, of No. 24% East One Hundred and Tenth street, and Michael Weinstein, a salesman, of ‘0, 88 Norfolk street Kept in Their Cells, ‘They were kept in the Leonard street station for five hours before bail was accepted for them. Policeman Fitsger- ald arraigned them in the Centre Street Court to-day on a charge of violating Section No. 336 of the Penal Code, which makes it a milederyeanor to play cards in a building cooupled as @ court ca justice, or by a voting place, or thin one mile uf a militia camp or on soa-going vessels. Magistrate Pool decided that none of the provisions of this section had been ylolated, but he looked up the statutes to see if there was not some other charge he could bring against the de- fendants, Ladner's attorney: ventured the as- sertion that the police do not raid card es in Fifth avenue cl “That makes no difference,” roared the Magistrate. ‘"Mhat does not give you the privilege to do the same thing, just because some one clse does It.” But no law could be found which Ladner and his friends had violated and Magistrate Pool di ‘ged them.

The Count, always modest end unassuming, answered her that he was not @ hero, But on that day @ corre- spondence was born and this letter-writ- ing was the courtship of the two. Last September the Count returned to Brook- lyn and he married Miss Emma D, moon took bride and bride- groom over the greater part of the Con- tirient and even to Egypt and North Africa. The Count went to Durope with the purpose of settling his Italian es- tate. He is the heir to about « million or more in cash and a big share in three ‘vast estates near Sale, Lake Como and Lake Origa. Ho says it may be three years before he gets his own. ‘The honeymoon was paid for by the Count out of his savings. He amassed ‘a small fortune. by his clever service at the table. He had the faculty of drawing handsome tips right out of the hands of his patrons. Always polite, diffident and ready to read the minds of those on whom he waited, he earned fo title for himaelf in his forced ocoupa- tlon.

He wanted me to go to Italy with him, but I wouldn't leave my father and mother, Any way I like my own country best.
