And on the fifth day of the weok,
which fell on a Friday, there came a
woman up out of the le-rder* of taing-
P-y and Clearwater.
And ehe came with weeping and enp
pllratton.
And behold ehe rent tier garment*,
and let down her hair, and cried unlo
the ta*-d Keying: O l.ord!
And ahe gnnehed tier teeth *l*o, and
her tear* wort eufftclent to extinguish

played the devil now. It will be re

some two weeks ago with a horse:
which he stole from Mr. J. C. Smith
of Kdeefleld. It was Mr. Smith who
had hint arrested. Friday night after
his escape he lay out In the woods
near Kdgefteld. while the authorities

MIDNIGHT AT THE BARRACKS
About half past twelve this morning
around In the desk-serßeant's office a
small and Interested crowd was watch
ins the newly arrested being brought
in. Several came up in a desultory
way and nothing particular happened
till all of a sudden appeared a young
.white fellow, with a morose and glow
ering expression, leading a negro boy
"What did you arrest this boy for?"
asked the sergeant.
I Mesh brought imroun tosee£fccwnrked
edhere." stated the young gentleman
' pompously.
"What?" they inquired.
"Hewascomingalongtheshreet." ex

Which, of course, made the whole
matter quite clear and lucid.
It was Indeed a case of the Tiling

The white fellow gave his name,
Which these columns refrain from giv

"What's the matter with him?" ask
ed one of the onlookers,
"This is what's the matter with
, him," replied IJeut. Britt, extracting
an empty half-pint bottle from the fel
low's pooket.
I Just about that time he caught on
| what was taking place, and that the
tables were turned.
"Aw, looker*," he remonstrated,
Tnoverwash'restedh'fore’mryllfe."
"Well, you’re arrested now,” they fis
sured him pleasantly.
He was led away amid heated ex
postulations.
| Now the negro boy happened to bo
| Dr. Jennings' chauffeur (mark the
| word!) —a position of some conse
cnnsequence in the city, and one not
! to be trifled with lightly.
“Now tell us the truth about this
business,” the city surgeon sternly
commanded his henchman. “What did
you arrest that white man for?"
"I didn't 'rest him," he nnxlously as
suredus "lie 'rested me!”
j “I was walkin' 'long de street and he
come up an’ as' me way I’s Roln,' and
I pile him 'roan' to de barracks where

acquittal, hut the strain of her trial
and the long deliberation of the Jury

"Of course, I knew the Jury would
