Hut the law was oltdurate. “ Tnin't my fault," said the moun tain in blue. “Them signs say ‘Keep Off the Orass!' and I'm here to see that they're niteyed.“ Arrested for Trespassing. it* thereupon handed the aviator a summons to appear before Magistral# Ten Kyck for "unlawfully disturbing the grass In a eras* plot of Van Oort* landt park without a |>emilt from the park authorities, against the |ieae« and dignity of the state of New York and the municipal ordinances in sueh cases duly made and provided." “Phew!’’ sulil Itjarktund us he read the charge sheet.

Neither could he throw out a sky an chor. Inasmuch as the motor wouldn’t go up. tie had to <ome down, and ht had only about the split part of a second to decide w here lie ws* going when he got down. Judge Suspends Fins. •'Well," said the court, "you should huve written a letter to the park Imard und asked authority to land there. Of course, it being Sunday, no one would have been at the park board office to answer It. And. of course, you might have been killed in the meantime, but you should have stayed within the law anyway “you're guilty as charged," boomed the court, "Hut." with a twinkle in his eye. "the sentence Is suspended. Next time when you've got to come down fast write a letter to the lioard and ask for |>ermission to land. Next?" "Well, he was guilty anyhow," said the cop triumphantly, us he stalked out to resume his watchfulness of tha park squirrels. HOUND FINOS GIRL She Wat Lett for a Long Tim* IN the Hllle.
