CHAPTER XXII.
_JUSTICE, AND A LITTLE INJUSTICE_.
The administration of justice in this county is chiefly in the hands of Judge Twiddler; and while his methods generally are excellent, he sometimes makes unpleasant mistakes.

Mr.Mix was the victim of one such blunder upon a recent occasion.

Mr.Mix is bald; and in order to induce his hair to grow again, he is using a very excellent article of "hair vigor" upon his scalp.

Some time ago he was summoned as a juryman upon a case in the court, and upon the day of the trial, just before the hour at which the court met, he remembered that he had not applied the vigor to his head that morning.

He had only a few minutes to spare, but he flew up stairs and into the dark closet where he kept the bottle; and pouring some fluid upon a sponge, he rubbed his head energetically.
