A squad car driver was covering a quiet beat out in the
sticks when he was amazed to find a former lieutenant
on the police force covering that beat. He stopped the
car and asked,

"Why, Mike, this wouldn't be your new beatout here in
the sticks, would it?"

"That it is," Mike replied grimly, "ever since I arrested
the judge on his way to the masquerade ball."

"You mean you pinched his honor?" asked Pat.

"How was I to know that his convict suit was only
a costume?" demanded Mike.

"Well," mused Pat, "'tis life and there's a lesson in this
somewhere."

"That there is," replied Mike.
"Never book a judge by his cover."
