MISS MARGARET LA RUE
Miss La Rue is spending tho summer at Lake
Placid in the Adirondack Mountains.
heard, was quite the leading surgeon In
this city at that time. Ono physician, on
visiting him and hearing from his own
lips that ho knew ho had very little longer
to live, said: "But, Agnew, what will the
surgical world do without you 7" "Ah,
my dear fellow," returned the wise old
doctor, "you need ne.ver worry with
Harry vharton already at work on the
field." And his words pioved true, for
Doctor Wharton is one of the most re
bpected surgeons of our day.
I
HEAR the Alexander Simpsons, of
6erbrook, are up In Moskoka on Lake
Kossfau, In Canada, and are spending
soveral weeks in that beautiful region.
It's one glorious spot up there; nothing to
do absolutely but rest and eat and sleep.
I often wonder why more Phlladel
phlans do not go up to Canada. There's
Quebec, for Instance, which is almost as
quaint as any French village on the
other side. The air Is perfect and the
scenery simply lovely.
AND yesterday came the news that
Paulino Disston had lost a valuable
onyx and diamond pin at the dance given
ut tho Clambake Cfub last week by Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Padclford. Pauline
said nothing about It for some time, and
then had a local Jeweler advertise for it.
And only yesterday did the story leak out
as to who owned tho pin advertised. I
am not sure, but I think It is a pin which
had been given her by her late father,
for I know sho had several very hand
some presents of the kind from him.
And as Pauline was crazy about him, it
would naturally be a great sorrow to her
to lose one of his gifts.
S ii seems io me mere must ne a pretty
clever Jewel thief in Newport theso days,
for Mrs. Reggie Vanderbllt has also
lost a handsome pin recently, and another
Jowcl was lost about two weeks ago by
another "prominent woman. I think the
Newport Dotectlve Bureau had better get
busy. It sounds like a Phillips Oppen
helm mystery.
THE Webster Foxes have Just received
word that Lawrence W. Fox, Jr., has
passed his examinations fon) an officer's
commission In the United States artillery
at the Presidio training camp, California.
The family had planned for a trip to tho
Rocky Mountains this summer, you know,
but since this news was lecelved have
changed their minds, and Doctor Fox will
i;o alono to Sergeantvlllo, Me., for this
month, and Mrs. Fox and Beatrice to
Eastern Point! near New London. They
will all return in September, when Law.
renco wijl come home to visit them ona
short furlough.
Doctor Fox has been quite ill, and it
was Judged that a western trip would be
of great benoflt to him, but the exigencies I
of war change many plans, do they not? J
I only hopo the trip to Maine will prove
beneficial to his health, as his friends and
colleagues Insist that he must rest.
mHE unconscious Impudence of certain
J- dusky rulers of the below-stolis world
Is so plcturcsquo that one cannot neip
being amused rather than atfronteo. One
dark-skinned kitchen mechanic, Lily
Rose by name, had a particularly heavy
washing "wished" on her last Monday.
She looked her disapproval when one
white skirt after another hove Into view;
bedspreads and table linen likewise met
with a frown, nnd when a tailored ,sllk
shirt, with many fine tucks, was dis
closed she voiced her displeasure and said

"DUT I didn't touch thnt," Chnlloncr re---
sumed, the beads of penplratlon stand
Ing out on his brow. "In any cent, It Is not
one of the main facts In my memory. If
I did taKo tho money, what In the world
have I done with It tell mo that? nut
look here, Murgatroyd, let's get down to
business and have this oer wltf.. I'm tired
of tho whole affair. I told you that I
waited for Hargraes for two nights. We
had a game In Room A there was a com
pact Itargracs won out! Hang him, he
always won out ! We had a row then and
there I pulled that gun and
flrcd at him polntblnnkl"
"And then?"
"I killed him; and I would do It over
again, I assure you. I don't remember any
more but Pemmlcan was there you've got
nis story no Known all ahout It "
"His story," obperved Murgatroyd, laying
a forefinger on tho edgo of tho desk,
"amounts to Just what you said last night
that drunk and sober, you watched your
chance, nnd when you got It you made good
or bad, whichever way u please."
"Youo got It, returned Clialloner; "now
take mo back "
Thero was a loud rap on the door. Mix
ley answered It and left tho room, hold
Ing a comersatlon In nmcwhat strenuous
tones on tho other side. He returned In
an Instant.
"It's Counselor Thorne," he announced
to tho prosecutor. "He wants to see you."
Murgatroyd shook his head Impatiently.
Ho and Thorne did not pull well together,"
"Tell him to wait," he fald brusquely.
"Ho won't wait," persisted Mtxlcy. "He
Insists"
"You tell him that he's got to wait," re
turned Murgatroyd.
But Thorne did not wait. No sooner had
Mlxley left tho room than Thorne entered
and strode up to tho prosecutor's depk. Mix
ley followed him.
Resting ono hand on tho tablo Thorne
waved the other toward Challonor.
"Murgatroyd." he cried fiercely, with an
Injured air, "what Is this? You call yourself
J . ... a.-- .a,- a-. ...... ti
a ropuiaDio mcmuei "i m wi , j"u tan
yourself a reform prosecutor of the pleas;
this It a moot unfair adantnge."
M"rgatrod sighed wearily.
"What now, Thorne, what now?"
"Most unfair," repeated the other coun-selor-at-law
"You've got my client here
my client!"
Murgatroyd looked at Mlxley and then
at McOrath.
"Your ctlcnt! Where Is your client?"
"There he Is," pointing, "James Lawrence
Challoner!"
Murgatroyd roie and said suavely;
"I beg your pardon. Mr. Thorne Are you
retained? I didn't know. Challoner said
nothing of It. Why didn't you tell me, Mr.
Challoner?"
"I didn't know It." Challoner told him
shortly. "But It's all right I suppose Mrs.
Challonor retained him."
"Ye, she did," Thorno Informed him.
"Well I'm sorry, Thorne," said Mur
gatroyd.' "If I had known you were In tho
"Sorry!" echoed Thorne. "This Is out
rac'cous! I went up to the Jail this morn
ing and my client was not there " He waved
his arm as If addressing a Jury.
"And when '.hey told me that you you
hod the effrontery to have him brought
down here for he third decree. This Is a
matter for the Morning Mall."
Murgatroyd lolled back In his chair and
lit a frefh cigar. Presently he said:
"Thorne, my auiy is io mo poic as won
i to your client ; so far I've done my duty
her finger on her lips, which were pursed
Into a big O "I hav no chaperon."
"Won't I answer?" suggested the prose
cutor lightly, ras he took her hand ; and
placing a chair close to his desk, "Sit hare,
please."
'The fact that I'm alone," went oh
Shirley, taking the seat Indicated, but mov
ing It a little farther away from him,
"should prove conclusively that I'm not
afraid to beard the Hon In his den."
"Did It require so ory much courage?"
ho asked with mock seriousness.
Shirley mado a little mouo.
"After laBt night, seems to me you're a
bear."
Murgatroyd seated himself; It was thor
oughly characteristic that he should waste
little time on a preliminary skirmish with
any one
"Then It Is ahout this Challoner affair
that you have corns to see me?" he asked
tactlessly. "I warn you, Shirley don't I
Hands off! "
At once Shirley assumed an aggressive,
business-like nttltudo; eloie to hie desk she
drew her chair, and then leaning on both
elbows looked Murgatroyd squarely In the
face and said with great earnestness:
"Billy Murgatroyd, you'.e got to help
these people out!"
Murgatroyd flushed and answered with a
smile:
"If such a thing were possible, Shirley,
jou're the one person to mako me do It."
His compliment found her unresponsive;
sho was too preoccupied with her own
thoughts.
"You must do It," sho persisted, and
looked at him nppeallngly. "Of course the
man could not have been himself "
Trobably not," he said coldly "But of
ono thing you may he sure, Challoner had
a purpose In all this."
Shlrlev frowned; the man changed the
tone of his voice with a ,erpatlllty that
she declared to herself was llttlo short of
scandalous; he went on:
"That purpose was to kill Hargraves.
Last night you heard his confession to that
effect; this morning ho substantiated It In
detail."
Shirley wrapped one hand oer the other
and sat looking at Murgatrod with white
drawn face.
"I suppose you realize that this thing Is
going to kill Miriam Challoner?"
The man shook his head ilgorously,
"Bosh! If grief could kill the woman,
living with Challoner would have nccom
nllshed that long ago."
"How unfeeling! How like a man! You
understand women h well!" she declared,
looking up at him with a mocking smllo;
and then went on to plead: "You must do
something you must get him free ! Surely
It remains for his friend to do this much
for him! You will won't you?" There
was a suspicion of moisture In the girl's
eyes
Shaking his head, Murgatroyd rose and
began to pace the floor, not because he
wanted to think, but merely to give the
girl time to regain her composure. At last
he stopped directly In front of her.
"Shirley" It was surprising how gentle
his voice could be at times "I want you
to renllze the circumstances of this case,
which you seem to have forgotten. In the
presence of several people. Including my
self, this man has deliberately confessed to
a premeditated murder; a man In my cui
tody Is a witness to the facts ; nt least five
men know of the motive his quarrel with
Colonel Hargraves. No," ho concluded se
verely, "If Challoner were my brother or
my father, more than that, If yqu were In
Challoner's place today, I should have to
try you convict you. There would be no
escane."
"But the condition that made him do
this thing was abnormal," she persisted;
' bad companions and bad habits had
warped his mind,"
"Like other men of his kind," returned
Murgatroyd. "Challoner's decent at times
conducts himself llko a man; but generally
speaking, he's Irretrievably bad."
"But can't you delay the trial get him
off In some way some time? There aro
ways the thing Is done every day, and
you know It."
Murgatroyd smiled grimly.
"My dear girl, If I would do this thing,
I couldn't. I shall go a step farther. If
I could do it. I wouldn't i couldn't look
you In the face, guilty as a .should be of
gross malfeasance In my office." He waved
his hand In finality. "Not another word on
the subject, please."
'You're Immovable! You're cruel!" Bhe
cried, rising to her feet. "I ought not to
have come! However, I have done what I
could for a friend," she flung back at him,
looking him straight in the eye, and started
toward tho door.
Murgatroyd blocked her way.
"No," he said good-humoredly, not the
least disconcerted by her parting shot, "It's
my turn now. You have attempted to cor
rupt me, swerve me from my duty and "
"And wasted your time, I suppose, as
you were good enough to remind me on a
previous occasion' Bne returned, mourns
up saucily at him under her lashes
Murgatroyd was quick to detect her
change of mood and took his courage ia
both hands, saying:
"Won't you for the moment forget the
Challonera, Shirley? Be kind you give
me little opportunity to see you alone these
days. Think only of yourself and me "
"If you're going to make love to me In
-- - j i 1 1 ' ' ""crTn.
that awfu)ly serious way of yoursrOT, tf
that matter, In any other way, I'll to."
"Aren't you going to marry me, Shirley T"
he demanded with characteristic directness.
"Same old story." laughed the girl.
"Ye, this Is the sixth time now that I've
asked you. Again, will you marry mo?"
"Don't be silly I This is hardly the place,
Billy "
"I quite agree with you, But one has to
mako the most of opportunity. As I said
before, the occasions aro all too rare when
I find myself alone with you, And unless
you want me to keep asking you, speak
the word now, Shirley make me happy.
You may as well say It first as last, for I'm
determined to win you I'm going to have
you 1" he wound up energetically.

"And leave my client here alone?' said
Thorne, doggedly. He shook his head to let
Chnlloncr see what a determined man he
was.
Murgatroyd leaned back over hl desk
and for a moment bu.led himself with his
papers. Then he arnounced:
"Mr. Tho.no. your client is going back to
Jail at on'e' , nrd added Jokingly: "If you
wish to i- with him In the van you may
do so." .nd with that he ordered Challoner

Befo-e going, Challoner stretched out his

"'ve no fault to nnd with you, Mr. Prose
tutor; It had to come to this."
'Hut 1 won't fornct this not for a mo
ment. Prosecutor Murgatroyd," eald Thorne
grandiloquently, as he stalked out of tho
door, followed by the prisoner and his
guards.
After the men had left Murgatroyd paced
the floor for a while In deep meditation.
Something In the prisoner's attitude had
moved him, puzzled him. "There's a dls
crepancy somewhere," he told himself; "and
yet wherB the deuce Is it? Challoner killed
this man as sure as fate. The motive, the
opportunity, were there And then
there's his confession But
He pushed a button J and when McGrath
answered the call he was ordered to have
Pemmlcan sent down from the house of de
tention, his order ending with, "I wish to
see him at once."
"Yes sir." The officer then placed a card
upon the prosecutor's desk and added:
"That's a party who wants to Bee you, sir."
' Murgatroyd picked up the card negli
gently and glanced at It out of the corner
of his eye. Instantly a dull flush mounted
to his face, and rising to his feet.'he said:
"Tell the lady to como in, please.
