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. FATHER PETER’S PENNANCE By J. 8ACKVILLE MARTIN. In all the convent of San Giacomo, but half-witted, slow of speech, but there was no brother so portly, none" strong in fhe arm. filled his brown robo with greater completeness than the Reverend Fath er Peter, keeper of tho butteiy and master of the refectory. Fedst time and fast time were alike to him; ho fat tened ofi both. In Lent, when his of ficial diet was but a few poor peas and a glass of clear water from the spring, he still put on flesh; and this though it might well have been thought that the mere sight of game pasties and venison pies which lay under his charge for the delectation of the con vent's distinguished guests would havo harried him to a shauow for very envy apd mortification. ’ Not so; he throve,—.. apace, and at the end of Lent, as at.

Were I to choose another, there would be tales carried to the Abbot—may the—may the—may our Lady look down upon him!" He sought out Brother Antonio and communed with him in the gate. “You shall deal unto me twenty stripes, good brother,'' he said, “for a penance that I would do.

But In due time the Abbot died and went to his oWn place. The new Ab bot was n man of different kidney. Spare and thin he was, with the pride of Lucifer In his eye and a .cruel hu mor In his tightly compressed litis. He looked to the convent us the stepping stone to a cardinal's hat, and he look ed with confidence., for he wae of the Borgtas and kin to the Holy Father himself. * 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 mains of a pastry. But' It appeared that the good father was hut^'onmienc- Ing .hls Idevotlonsi for he immediately sank upon his km his face, and after Brother Antonio stared at htm lump. Islily. "As you will, good father,” he said. "I Warrant me you shall have no cause to complain." Father Peter departed to acquaint the Abbot with his determination. The lay brother looked after him and scratched his head. "By our lakln, n strange request! he said. . "Let me see. If he shaketh the left foot I am to know that the blow Is too heavy, hut If he shaketh the right foot, then shall I know that the blow Is not heavy enough. It ' well.” ■ (; - ■ 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 before him, and, stripping oft his robe, stood forth In succulent pinkness like a fat capon or a plump sucking pig. He winked once at Brother Antonio, who stood lumplshly holding a strap of raw 6owh!de. Then he touched his Baltimore, Md., Nov. 21.—At an early hour today a negro entered a cab while the driver was arranging his box to drive his fare to a station, choked the occupant, an Immigrant, and got away with his plunder. Joe Malone, the cabby, leaped on the negro's back and a desperate fight en sued. The black, however, escaped. Ma lone found the stranger within uncon scious.

But were I to permit myself to be benten with stripes fn the chapter house, no doubt I should gain glory and come Into much favor with the Ab bot-may the—may the saints reward him according to his deserts!” It was noccssary, however, to have an understanding with the person whom he should select to Inflict the castigation. For the purpose he ap proached the lay brother, Antonio, who filled a humble position as porter and keeper of the gate. Brother Antonio was the lumbering son of a peasant, who had been convent-bred In menial offices, the hewing of wood and the drawing of water. He was, poor soul!

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 and greeted him with a roguish wink and a sly pinch in the ribs. “Thou art a good, zealous fellow. 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. boon! A boon, lord abbot!” he cried. “Grant me one little boon, for the sake of the penance I havo per formed.” “Verily thou has well deserved It, good father,” said the abbot gracious ly. “What Is thy wish?” The names of 11,000 At lantans appear in The Bell Telephone Directory.
