If he went home in that condition he would sure get an awful whipping, because mamma had cautioned him against venturing near water or getting himself dirty. So Allen resorted to a method of avoiding the whipping. He argued that no supper was better than the switch and a big fright no worse than a small one.

Therefore he stripped eff his clothes, hung them up under the bridge to dry and prepared to sit under the bridge until such time as he would be fit to go home, no matter how many wild dogs, or wolves, or bears or other Forest Park horrors or gnomes came around. He was sitting there all huddled up when there came a terrific noise, just like a big bear scrambling down a mountain side. Then a figure appeared in the semi-darkness of under the bridge. A face peered in and a pleasant voice greeted Allen. "SCARET AXD XAKED." "Why, sonny! sonny!" it said, "what the deuce has happened you? Now don't you get scared.

You just stay-right there." The owner of the voice went away and Allen heard him laughingly tell someone, "Not. drowned, but scared and naked. Gimme that lap robe." A second later the owner was back. Allen was wrapped up in a big lap robe and gathered up into the arms of a man. He was carried to a big touring car and pt in.

Then a fine lady, with gentle voice ant! all sorts of kind words, took charge of him while the man went lock, gathered up the dirty, wet clothes and took them to the machine.

Judge Victor Falkenhainer of the Court of Criminal Correction affirmed a $500 fine on Charles K. Blair, an attorney, Thursday morning. Blair was fined by Judge Pollard of the Dayton Street Police Court some time ago for disturbing the peace of several young women.

An appeal was taken from Judge Pollard's to Judge Falk-enhainer's Court. After Miss Freida Lemp. who was first to make a complaint, to the Young Women's Christian Association, and now a stenographer at Shatting-er a Music Store, 910 Olive street, had testitied. Judge Falkenhainer affirming the fine, said, "A young woman of decent parentage and decent character hesitates to make complaints in such cases as this and generally only comes forward to make a complaint when others narrate similar circumstances. "This girl was trying to get a position, and it is the duty of the court just as much to protect an innocent girl like this as it is to find legal rights for the defendant." John A.

Gernez, senior counsel for Blair, cited the law and declared the defendant should be discharged as there was no corroboration, and his word should be as good as that of the prosecuting witness. He then delivered a passionate appeal for acquittal. In summoning the witnesses Blair announced he had two witnesses in the court room, one G. who testified he had dinner with Blair on that day and John Douglas, who said he helped move Blair. Blair also said that the stenographer he had employed at that time failed to show up.

Through his attorney. Gernez, Blair asked for a continuance on two charges so that he may have time to locate his stenographer, who, he said, was not suhpenaed although he had naked for a summons to be issued for her. The charges brought against him by Miss Pearl Bchrens of 5974 Romain place and Miss Kstell Steade of 5252 Northland avenue, were continued to May 5.
