THE ANTIQUE DESK.

“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

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.

“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.”

any reward?"
