Girl’s Tears Vanquish Two Famed Constables

Detroit, mich.—constable romanski, fearlesß tamer of a local street railway, is not infallible. Constable Paradis, whose threats to seize a crack train on a big railway in satisfaction of a Judgment, brought a haughty corporation to its knees, haß his human side. Miss Wilhelmina Wallich, who is elderly, had a $75 judgment against Miss Majpie Wade, who is young and looks like a magazine cover come to life. Miss Wallich and Miss Wade live across the hall from each other. It was in. this way Miss Wallich got her Judgment: Miss Wade has three Pomeranians, much disliked by Miss Wallich. On occasions Miss Wallich places her foot in as violent - juxtaposition With one or another of the Ppmeraniazs as a lady might without entirely sacrificing her dignity. Miss Wade said she would slap the face of anybody who kicked her doggies. Then there briskly followed another kick, a slap and, a summons.

“I want some very oompetent constables to make an attachment for me," announced Miss Wallich in the constables’ room. For a difficult task who would serve better than Romanski and Paradis? They took the papers and the case. There was ho difficulty ,}n getting into Miss Wade’s apartment. A sign bore the invitation “Apartment to rent on third floor. Walk in.” Mtsß Wade looked at the constables * and at the attachment. Two large tears came into her eyes. “Oh! Oh!’’ she said, her lips quivering like a child’s. , “You’re going to take away my poor little bowwows? Why, they’ll die and —and I don’t know what I’ll do.” “bo ahead, Paradis,” said Romanski gruffly. “I’ll wait for you downstairs.” “No, you do it,” urged Paradis. “It’s really ,your case, you know.” “And, 'anyhow,” sobbed M!*»s Wade, “the dogs belong to mother! Oh! Oh! Oh!” “Then we we can’t do anything, can we, Paradis?” "Don’t see how we can,” agreed Paradis. When tHe constables got back to the county building they didn’t seem to be greatly worried because they had “fallen down.” “A man,” said Romanski, belligerently, “can’t be expected to get the goods every time, can he? That ain’t nature.”
