...manifested to a grateful public. The police were misguided enough to interfere with some young professionals for trying to break into a fur shop. One young man was shot fatally. In 1916 he had been convicted of burglary. His sentence was suspended. In the same year he brought forth fruits meet for repentance. Advancing gradually toward reform, he contented himself with petit larceny and was sent to the penitentiary therefor. Since then he had been arrested twice for grand larceny, once for burglary. The police have rudely interfered with his further steps toward reclamation. Six of his partners in public...
...made the latter explanation seem the more plausible. No doubt this had been the office of the board of censors. One of these documents proved so interesting when translated that I shall let it speak for itself.

Of course, he has not necessarily been told that he must express any original ideas or constructive theories--and this, mirabile dictu! may be what Mr. Morley is hinting at; in which case we shall be forced to accuse him of sareasm...
Talma, our interpreter, who was a garrulous native of the neighborhood, fumbled in the shadows of his mind for a moment, then slowly drew forth an old fable that had been handed down by his ancestors for centuries. In olden days, it was said, there had been an unknown spirit on that mountain, and every morning, just at sunrise, he would toll out a clangor on his bell. Once, people had believed that he held court at that hour, but even after the court had vanished into dust, the bell-ringer had been faithful to his task; until...
