HIS MAN; EXCITING CHASE
THROUGH BUSY STREETS
THANKSGIVING DINNER!
Accused of Insulting Miss Jennie
Dehnar, leading woman at the Star
theater this week, G. B. Herndon, a
switchman for tho Western and At
lantic railroad, was chased several
blocks through the business district
Tuesday afternoon by a policeman in a
speedy automobile and was finally cap
tured in the basement of the new
Southern Bell telephone exchange, in
Auburn avenue, where he had taken
refuge.
The chase started at the entrance to
the Star theater in Decatur street, hnd
Policeman Taylor joined in at Decatur
and Pryor. At Pryor and Edgewood
avenue T. R. Sawteli, the .well-known
butcher, called to Policeman Taylor to
leap into Ills automobile. This the of
ficer did and the machine was started
along Pryor street at a rapid clip.
Herndon * turned Into Auburn avenue
i and the pursuing auto followed suit.
Along this thoroughfare the chase con*
tinueci, Herndon in a sprint and still
leading. At the new telephone ex
change. the fleeing man darted into tho
basement and sought a hiding place.
The auto was quickly on the scene and
OlHcer Taylor Jumped out and ran Into
the basement, finding Herndon lying In
a pile of lime.
Actress Appears Against Herndon.
The remarkable chase created great
excitement and a largo crowd quickly
gathered.
Herndon was arraigned Wednesday
morning before Recorder Broyles and
the actress, Miss Delmar, appeared as
the chief witness against him. She
said he had spoken to her on the street
and then followed her.
Herndon protested that he was intox
icated and had no recollection of speak
ing to the actress. Judge Broyles Im
posed a fine of $25.75.

He sought out Brother Antonio and
communed with him in the gate.

Spare and thin he was, with the pride

Discipline then was the order of the
day. The good old times vanished be
neath his rule. Fasting was strictly
enjoined, and the monks were ordered
to castigate themselves dally. He who
spared himself least won most favor.
The cold eye of the Abbot roved with
displeasure over the ample proportions
of Father Peter. When Lent came he
looked for some diminution; but by the
miraculous favor of Our Lady of San
Giacomo there was none, but rather
an increase. Once the Abbot, passing
the door of the buttery, saw the worthy
father, with both hands Xa hJs mouth,
apparently cramming Into It the re

"As you will, good father,” he said.
"I Warrant me you shall have no cause

Father Peter departed to acquaint
the Abbot with his determination. The
lay brother looked after him and
scratched his head.

he said. . "Let me see. If he shaketh

That evening it became known that
Father peter was to do penance In the
chapter house, and the monks fiocksd
there. Th’e Abbot sat upon the high
dais, and the worthy father came oul

an understanding with the person
whom he should select to Inflict the
castigation. For the purpose he ap

filled a humble position as porter and

was the lumbering son of a peasant,

offices, the hewing of wood and the
drawing of water. He was, poor soul!

wagged frantically.
Brother Antonio could scarce believe
Ilia eyes. It aaerasd that he was not
able to do the work appointed him as
his victim wished that it should be
done x - A-sacred exaltation come upon
him, and-he made up his mind to per
form his task satisfactorily or perish
in the attempt. Raising his voice to
a kind of chant, he struck again and
again, increasing in fervor as he pro
ceeded.
“Tho sword of tho Lord and of Gid
eon!” he chanted. (Whack!) “Behold,
(Whack!) He shall break them asun
der. (Whack!) He shall grind their
(Whack!) limbs to powder (Whack!);
yea. He shall bray them In a mortar."
(Whack!) _
Here the chant was interrupted. The
infuriated Father Peter had managed
to scramble to his feet and had at
tempted to grapplo with hla adversary.
Bruised as he was. he would have had
little chance had not certain of the
lay brethren, seeing that Antonio was
scarce himself, come to the rescue and
secured him. ,
“A goodly penance, worthy father,
said tho Abbot, with a sour smile,
doubt not that this night you will feel
yourself in a most blessed state of
grace." He
houM<\
“What has happened? Where am
I?” asked Brother Antonio, starting
though from a dream. “Oh, yes
remember." . .. . . , . .
•Remember!” yelled the Infuriated
Father Peter. And so do I remember!
Thou hast given me cause to remem
ber, thou limb of Satan. Did I not
tell thee that when I wagged the right
/oot it was a sign that thou didst strike
too hard?” „ . _
-Now the saints forgive mo; I
thought it was the left!” sa(d the
abashed lay brother, "and then I fell
Into a kind of trance. *Twaa but a
small mistake, after all. torgpet it,
good father."
“Forget It!” yelled Father Peter,
“when I forget either it dr thee, may
—may 1 be accounted unworthy of my
charge. I shall not lay me down for
a fortnight, but I shall remember thee.
I shall not seat me in the chapel, but
I shall think of thee and offer up
prayers for thy future disposition. For
get Itl Sooner will I forget—!”
But here the worthy fathers, who
were growing a little alarmed at thq
noise their brother was making,
clapped their hand* over his mouth
ana led him away.
Brother Antonio strolled back toward
the gate.
"Alas!” he pondered, "and this 4m
gratitude-**
For a whole Week tie meditated upon
this thanklessness, and then had rea
son to be ashamed of his thoughts;
for as he was passing the buttery the
Reverend Father Peter haled him In

brother,” he said, "perchance n trifle
overzealous, but it Is a good featt, soi
let it pass. Come! I have had hard
thoughts of thee, but now I would
make amends. And I will give thee a
cup of Rhenish wine that shall make
thine eyes glisten nnd steel thine arm
against the time I shall ask thee for
further castigation.”
He drew the stopper from a flagon
all cobwcbbed and musty, and poured
into a crystnl cup a great “bumper of
the good wine. Brother Antonio, poor
porter as he was, had never tasted such
nectar. It was a.Wine for the lips of
such as sat the high dais, and he
crossed himself reverently before he
put it to his lips. When lie set it
down the cup was empty ami wondrous
visions swam before his eyes and
danced in his brain.
“That is the right sort,” said the
worthy Father Peter with a chuckle.
“Come! Tbou seest I can return good
fof evil." He hrimmed the gloss again
until the beaded bubbles danced about
the' brink. Brother Antonio, marveling
at his good fortune, drained it once
more. , - • ,
T am—htc!~much bound to you,
worthy father/’ he said, slurring his
words In his anxiety to utter them.
“This is a delicious wine, and for an
other cup I would even do unto you
again the service I did for you be
fore."
VNow. the saints forbid!" said the
stJJl ran* Father Peter, wincing as
the lay brother clapped him on the
back. “Another gloss, good brother?"
Brother Antonio had several more
glasses and then collapsed In sterto
rous dreams. The reverend father’s
face gleamed with cunning delight
Stooping, he lifted the Inanimate form
upon his shoulders and staggered with
it to the cloisters, where he deposited
it upon the flags in such a manner that
tbe abbot must see it as he returned
from matins. /
See It the abbot did.
“Whom have wa here?” ho asked,
pointing with his thin hand, on which
a blood-red ruby gleamed hatefully in
Its Jeweled setting.
“It is the lay Brother Antonio," re
plied one of the fathers. “Ho would
seeni to be In a pious trance."
Brpther Antonio snored, and at the
sound the abbot‘drew back sharply.
“The drunken hog!" he said, his face
thin with displeasure. “Away with
him and souse him under the pump!
We will deni faithfully with him'this
evening in the chapter house.”
When the news of this decision was
brought to the Reverend Pather Peter,
who so pleased as he? He hastenea
to the Abbott’s room and fell on his
knees before him.

cried. “Grant me one little boon, for
