His first victim was a blonde young lady who was dining with her papa in a café. He made a hit all right, but decidedly did not with her papa. In fact, he displeased papa so that the latter emptied several seltzer bottles into Mr. Rawsberry's map. Mr. Rawsberry followed them outside and knocked father's molars out with a brick. Meanwhile Mrs. Rawsberry decided to go out and flirt herself, and she was just tackling a coquettish cop when Mr. Rawsberry happened along. He attempted to call his spouse to time for this, but she deliberately denied him and swore she had never seen him before in her life. The cop pinched him and he was brought before a judge, whose front molars were strangely missing. The realization began to smite unpleasant spots on Mr. Rawsberry's spine that this self-same judge was the very gentleman whose teeth he had involuntarily extracted. He also realized that his prospects for spending many years in the cooler were good. The judge reached for the penalty book and started to hunt out the maximum bad news. Mr. Rawsberry's wife at this moment stepped up and let the judge give her the once over. He recognized in her a lady with whom he had had a platonic friendship. As platonic friendships are bad for judges' reputations, and are also frequently frowned upon by unsympathetic citizens, the judge thought it wiser to let Mr. Rawsberry off. The latter and his wife thereupon made a quick exit from the court room. The judge likewise made a mental note not to form any further friendships, platonic or otherwise.
