MPOSSIBLE;1 don’t believe fit, Marcia.” “It's true,” per- sisted Dorothy. “Harold arrest- ed! How terri- ble!” “It wasn't his fault. Didn't you hear about the antique desk Mrs. Newell sent them for a wedding present?” “Not a word,” answered Marcia. “It was a beau- . ty; all hand-carv- ed mahogany. Their apartment was furnished in accordance with that desk and not Harold's income. Jes- sica noticed one of the panels was loose. ‘Don't worry your pretty head about it,’ Harold told her; ‘We'll send it to Macken's furniture store and have it repaired.” “Did Mrs. Newell know it was dam- aged when she bought it?” interrupt- ed Marcia. “No, not that; but worse. “They were giving their first dinner party. Jessica, who is always a hu- man icicle, keeping cool, calm and collected under all circumstances, for once was flurried. She was sure the roast would not be done enough, or that it would be too well done; that the bouillon would be served too cold and that the iced tomatoes would not be chilled sufficiently, but everything went along fine until the last course, when two officers appeared upon the scene, with warrants to arrest Jes- sica’'s husband.” “How awful! How embarrassing! I've been married ten years and my husband has never been arrested.” “You're luckier than Jessica. A few of the guests went along to give bail for him. Jessica was in hyste- rics, asking all at once: ‘What would the neighbors think if they saw him leave with the officers? How could they keep a maid If the girl knew about his arrest? Would it be in all “Harold Arrested! How Terrible!” the papers illustrated with his pic- ture?” When Harold returned two hours later he assured her that he had treated all the officers and report- ers, so there would be no danger of publicity.” “Why was he arrested?” “You see, that desk was an heir loom much valued by a family named Houghton. When the Houghtons were abroad last summer their house was ransacked and among other articles taken was this desk. Detectives had searched far and near for it, but could find no trace. When it appear- ed at Mackens, one of the clerks, who is a friend of Mrs. Houghton's daugh- ter Amy, recognized the desk and traced it to the Carletons, and issued the warrant of his own accord for the arrest.” “But how did Mrs. Newell come across it?” “After she read the morning paper she immediately rushed over to Jes- sica’s to confess the truth. Upon re- ceiving her invitation she vowed and declared ‘that her present would out- shine all the others.’ After searching the city for something unique and handsome, one day she accompanied & poor woman to a pawn shop to re- deem some article for her. Her sur- prise was great at seeing such a val- uable Dlece of furniture in that place. The proprietor hesitated and did not Seem anxious to sell, but finally let her have it fur $75. She sent a pri- vate expressman for it, had it cleaned and polished, thinking none would be tue wiser as to where she purchased “Jessica immediately returned it to the rightful owner with a note of ex- planation.” “Did Mrs. Newell send them any- thing else?” “I don’t know; she sailed suddenly for Europe a few days later, but I don’t think she will invest in any more antiques.” “Did you think the clerk received any reward?" “Yes; his engagement has been an- Bounced to Mis¢ Moughton.” can stand the awful shock produced by the discharge of heavy artillery. - | The gunners within the turret are not affected much, because the gun dis charges outside.
