"The Mouse" stepped from the dock
and walked noiselessly to the witness
stand as the district attorney called
his name curtly. The spectators
gazed with Interest at the noted
crook and the detectives looked at
him with open admiration compelled
by "The Mouse" having outwitted
every officer on the force time and
time again. In spite of his many ar-
rests. "How old are you?" demanded the
district attorney briefly.
"Forty" answered "The Mouse"
casting his beady black eyes about
the courtroom quite unembarrassed.
"How long have you enjoyed the in-
teresting name by which you are so
well known?" asked the district attor-
ney sarcastically.-
"Ever since I could creep" returned
"The Mouse" showing his sharp
' white teeth in a smile.
"You are accused of having started
a fight at the butchers' ball and of
having stolen a watch in the confu-
sion" said the district attorney.
"What have you to say?"
"The Mouse" had a clever and
plausible story to tell a story he had
worked up artistically in his cell and
which lie toid with considerable satis-
faction his previous experience hav-
ing given him ease and eloquence. He
grew fluent and animated falling into
gestures that unconsciously betrayed
the skilled pickpocket. His long
supple fingers and his flexible wrists
were those of an artist in legerdemain
and their swift deft movements were
a constant contradiction to his story
of innocence. Instinctively his ges-
tures were those of a pickpocket of
rare skill deftly relieving an absent-
minded man of his watch. It was easy
to see how he had come by his name
for he did indeed ioofc ljke a rodent
j "Wait!" He Shouted.
1 as he stood there with his oily black 1
hair and mustache his furtive eyes
( and his sharp face.
I The evidence against him was pure-
i ly circumstantial. No one had actu
ally seen those limber fingers twitch
the watch from the vest of the bewil-
dered Dutchman try as he might.
j and his might was much the district
attorney could not break down "The
! Mouse's" story. The crook smiled
' coolly under a harsh cross-examination
quite undisturbed by bitter epl-
i thets. Everybody knew he had stolen
I the watch but tfee crime could not be
I fastened on him.
"Well step down" at last said the
' discouraged district attorney and
I "The Mouse" walked softly into the
; dock showiug his sharp teeth in a
j smile of quiet enjoyment
i "Mrs. Seitz!" called the lawyer
whom "The Mouse" had engaged as a
! matter of form. As he heard that
name a sudden frown came to the
crafty face of "The Mouse" and he
made a quick motion to attract the at-
tention of the bustling young lawyer.-
But a trembling white-haired woman
had already come forward.
"Do you swear to tell the truth the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
so help you God?" rattled off the clerk
and the old woman bent forward to
lay a shaking hand upon the Bible
held up to her. (
"I do" she whispered hesitatingly.
"Now Mrs. Seitz." began the law-
yer persuasively "your son has al-
ways been a good son to you has he
not?"
She opened her white lips to speak
but "The Mouse" jumped angrily to
his feet and leaned far over the dock.
"Walt!" he shouted throwing up
his long arm in a gesture of com-
mand. The blood had rushed into his sal-
low face and his eyes were blazing.
"This has gone far enough" he cried
sharply. "I'll not have my mother
perjure herself to save me from what
I ought to get. She has done enough
for mo without this. Let her ulone
and I'll tell the truth. You can send
me up for 50 years but don't force
her to lie under oath. I've not been

a good"8on. I never was a good eon
but I'm not cur enough to let her do
this for me. I stole that Dutchman's
watch fast enough. I wont to the ball
to lift a watch and I'd got away if
that jiy cop over there hadn't spotted
me. Now you do what you want to
do and I don't care that!"
He snapped his Augers airily at the
astonished district attorney but the
old woman was crying bitterly and
was holding out her arms to him.
The Judge gave him IS months in
.the penitentiary which was the light-
est sentence "The Mouse" had re-
ceived in his long professional career.

.Hammerstsin's Operatic Manager
Comes to the Front with a Real
Tale of Woe.
Siegfried Behrens Philadelphia man-
ager of the Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany was discussing with some
friends the try-out of voices at the
Philadelphia opeia house one aiorn-
ing. Some one In the party said that
Mr. Hammerstefn'D method was a
crusher for the aspirants for the
chorus. Most of them had reported
armed with grand opera scores and
other music prepared to sing at least
one aria and possibly a whole scene
from some famous opera. Instead
they were permitted to run up and
down the scale and that was all.
"I don't blame him" said Mr. Beh-
rens. "It is just as sure a way as
any to find out whether one has a .
voice or not and a lot the quickest
Besides one does not take chances of '
enduring the fearful tortures that :
were once my lot
"I was selected to try voices and
make selections for a big festival '
chorus. AH applicants had been- told
to bring a song to sing.
"At the appointed time no less than
COO applicants showed up and I start-
ed them off. Do you know as an

to Millard's 'Waiting' since If any-

I hate them." Washington Star.

And now we have the glory or the

is veritably so. Of course the old
codger who doesn't care for flowers
doesn't think so. What account are

them? We don't mean him. We speak
of those fair spirits that commune
with a flower and get hold of its ideas
and make them a part of their lives.
