A very stunning dark-haired girl, who lives in Chestnut Hill and who always haB an eye for tho artistic when It comes to selecting her clothes, dropped Into the Rltz one day last week for luncheon with a very hand bomo naval officer. (By tho way, I notice tho girl In question is very popular with nil branches of tho service, and I wonder If we won't be hearing some interesting news before long.) Well, to return to the Rlta-Carlton, tho girl was wearing a smart frock of checked pink and white gingham, which was most becoming to her dark beauty, and sho looked perfectly sweet. After luncheon that fascinating com bination of white linen, brass buttons and a happy smile betook itself off to find Its car. And as he left the dining room a sweet-looking woman, quite beautifully gowned came and sat by (shall wc say Eleanor? eh! bleu, Eleanor It is). In a soft und molting volco the older woman said: "My dear, may I ask you n vcry personal question. Oh. a very per sonal question indeed?' Eleanor In a moment conjured up in her mind all the dreadful things sho had done In her short and really qulto peaceful life. Then she thought perhaps some dreadful tiling had been discovered in tho past life of the ,-andsome naval oftlcer who was then hunting his car out of nil the various and sundry makes reposing In tho middle of Broad street. Sho found herself saying In a weak voice, "Oh, yes. do." "Well." said tho lovely lady qulto sheep ishly, "Won't you tell mo where In tho world you got that piece of gingham? I've scoured tho town for It In any color, but there was not an Inch to be found. You might think our men had been com manded to wear uniforms of Anderson gingham Instead of khaki. I simply cannpt Imagine why there Is so little on the market." Poor Eleanor wilted utterly under the strain of expecting to hear anything from the fact that her back hair was hanging down her back to the discovery that she had been lunching with a man whose past was filled with dreadful doings. It was too much. Sho managed to mention tho name of the storo where the material had been purchased, nnd fled In haste to tho gallant young cfilcer who awaited her, his unblemished and shining past fairly sticking out all over him.

I'emmlcan accepted, and finding a. ready match In his pocket, struck It on tho heel of his boot und lighted thn cigar before tho slow-movlng Murgatroyd could pass him his matchbox.

"Counselor. I'm nn honest man," he an wered doggedly. Murgatroyd gae It up ns n bad fob. "You're honest, nil right Pemmlcan." he Id. xou can go back now? hm pii i you down ugaln beforo the trial, and to gether wo'll go over the testimony care fully He placed his hand upon the other's ann "You see. I'm most particular about this case The next moment Mixley and McCrath entered and took I'emmlcan uway Fifteen minuter later Mrs. Challoncr ar rled. Sho was accompanied by Stevens, tho butler, cairylng a large parcel, which he deposited on the prosecutor's table ns ill meted. He wai then dismissed; and when the door had closed on him, the man and tho woman stood for a few minutes listen ing ill silence to his mti eating footstep" Then In low, inpld tones Mrs Clialloner as sured the prostcutor that she had accom plished her purpose without urouslng tho suspicions of any one not even the ser vant. Murgatroyd noiselessly locked the door, and putting his hand upon the parcel on the table, looked at her Interrogatively Tea the securities they're all there," ohe hastened to assure him. Shall I Mrs. Challoner's hand waved her pel mis sion. The big. heavj parcel had been clumsily tied up with brown paper. This. Murgatrojd torn olT. and there stood re ealtd two long, sheet-Iron boxes, old and i-omewhat battered. They were heavily sealed und across each on a pasted piece of paper appeared In big letters the name "Miriam C'halloner." "I brought them Just as the) were," she wenj on to explain "You may break the reals, scrutch off my name, und then they will be yours to do with as you please " "For the preient," Murgatroyd told him self, ns his eyes fell on the vuult door, "that will be their testing place." And turning to her, he suld aloud: "The deal Is closed. You understand the terms? Kverythlng Is loft to me I am to free your husbund I am to keep your money?" "Yes," she breuthed, as If some heavy burden had rolled from her young shoulders. And now for the first time Murgatroyd looked Miriam Chulloner full In the face, and said solemnly: "One thing more; Absolutely no one must know of this. Not C'halloner, nor Thorne, and above ull,' not Miss Bloodgood. Every thing depends on your silence your silence Is the essence of this contract. You, agree?" ( Mrs. Challorer bowed. "I do." And she might have been taking an oath from tlie way aha said It. "Itemerober you will say nothing to 111m uiooagooq J'Shlrley will ney aasrjss'vn' 4 every turn, parried his every thrust. "Objection sustained," the Court had ruled wearily many times during tho trial, "the prosecutor will proceed." And upon such occasions (irahain Thorne. from tho counsel's table In the front, had flushed a triumphant glnnco nt Peter Urod orlck; nnd Peter Hroderlck, In turn, from his seat in tho rear of the courtroom, would return tho gsr.e with n smile, tho brilliancy of which was outshone only by the big uiamoiiu mai mazeu rroin whero It rested comfortably on his highly colored shirt front. To these two not In the least Inter ested In the outcome of the trlnl, so far as Clialloner was concerned the caso waH highly (..Ulsfuctory. There was no crevice In the mystery of Crndlebaugh's In which Murgatroyd could Insert tho thin edge of a wedge; Its foundation still remained un shaken after the Impact of his battering ram; the Challoncr caso was to be tho Clialloner caso and nothing more. "That's all, Mr. Pemmlcan." were tho words with which tho prosecutor had con cluded tho examination of his principal wit ness On Pemmienn of tho low brow leaving the witness stand, ho had glanced expec tantly toward the counsel for tho defense. Throughout the trial there was his man ner a peculiar deference towd Thorno which had been there from the first day. ruder Murgatroyd's sharp Interrogation ho had seemed quite at ease, but his attitude toward Thorne had always appeared to be that of a man whoso hand was constantly kept raised to ward off blows. However, notwithstanding that he had been recalled at least five times, I'emmlcan, on the whole, apparently was well satisfied with his performance. Unn"estlonably he has been loyal and wary, nnd hnd confined his testimony as to motive to tho woman In the cus! a row over a lady keeping that portentous game of cards well Into tho back ground out of sight. "Surely you're not going to detain me any longer?" whispered Pemmlcan to tho officers who had placed themselves on either side of him. "What! You're not going to let me go?" - "Not on your life!" remarked one of them genially; and showing to the prisoner a slip of paper which ho drew from his pocket, "There's a wnrrant for your arrest." Pemmleun for a moment looked bewil dered and murmured Incredulously: " my arrest?" "Sure," replied the ofllcer. "The chief begun his raid on Crndlebaugh's, and you're one of thn main guys " Pemmleun wiped his forehead and stam mered sulkily: "And and the piosecutor's goln' to lock nie up after all I've done for him?" "That's what" lephcil the officer, and a moment later added complacently, "unless you can get ball.' "Confound 'em!" exclaimed l'eininican. "They won't go my ball!" The detective placed hl ear quite close to Ptuiinlcan. "Who won't go your ball?" he quelled In terestedly. Pemmlcuu smiled. "They." he returned, not foi an Instant off his guard. "If Prosecutor Murgatroyd only knew who they are," went on the detective, "if he knew who backed you up, thero'd be :0111c Interesting goings on 'lound here." "He won't find out from me." replied Pemmlcan. doggedly. "I play u straight game with the men who hand out my bmud and butter You can lay your bets on that !" "Sl.-h.h-! The prosecutor's talklu' over there," whispered the detective, raising his hand, ai.d he hubtled the prisoner out of the room, aB Murgutiod, rising onco more, bowed toward the bench and announced . "The Stato lests. If the Court please " And then Thome, at his end of the table, also rose to his feet and declared: "The defense rests." Presently he began to addmss the Jury. During the trial his Una of defense hud been Insanity the defense of the defense less, the forlorn hopo of the hopeless. The Bench had frowned at It; tho Jury had shaken Its head as one man: Insanity to Juries In the metropolis had become as a red rug to a bull. But the crowd In the Courtroom had leaned forward with huge expectation waiting for the hidden places to be mvealed with much tho same antici pation and Interest one experiences in waiting for the denouement of a stuge drama, Before turning to the Jury, however, for his last effort, Thorne stooped down for an InBtant and whispered to Mrs. Clialloner 1 "I'm sorry, Mrs. Challoner, that we couldn't do better with our .facts.

STRANGE ADVENTURES ' OF BILLY BUMP US LOST BILLY UTJMPUS By Farmer Smith 'I wish you would closo your mouth I don't like red," said Billy Bumpus to tha Tiger. "Vou don't have to stand there and look nt me, if you don't like the Inside of my mouth. I didn't ask ou to, did I?" re plied the Tiger. "No, but you have such beautiful fur. Kciy living thing it noted for some beauV. .Vow. I have beautiful horns," said Billy proudly "Beautiful horns- reclaimed the Tiger. "Who told you so? "I said so myself. That makes It true, docs It not?" "It makes It due as far as you ara concerned, but that does not convince me," said the Tiger, opening his mouth wide. "Dont, don't!" exclaimed Billy, turning his head away. "What's, the matter? Do I have to talk to jou with my mouth shut?" I could udnilrc your beautiful fur all the better If you did cloe your mouth." answered Billy. "It would be a good Idea for you to keep your mouth shut all the time." replied the Tiger, grinning so his teeth showed. "Kxcuse me while I go away and forget about you. It Is a good idea to forget unpleasant things," said Billy. "Am I unpleasant?" usked the Tiger, as Billy started away. "Xo, but that mouth of yours Is red, nnd I HATH red," said Billy, as he trotted oft Ho turned to look nt the Tiger, who gae a snarl which made Billy hurry all , the faster. It was growing late and the tentmen wore getting ready to drop the Big Top. Billy was busy as usual, getting In every body's wny and receiving an occasional kick, which woke him up. He seemed to ba going around In a dream, ho was so sleepy. By and by ho reached the center of tha big tent and lay down near the huge pole which held up tho Big Top. He was soon fast asleep. He did not see tho tent slowly lowered upon him. He did not hear tha shouts of tho men. No one had seen him. As everything was In Its place and ready and waiting for tha big tent to bo put on the train. It wus natural the Clown should, look around for Billy, who wns always In tho sleeping car near the Clown. Billy Bumpus und Spider, as the Albino's Monkey was colled, were tho only animals allowed In tho car. The Clown began to huiit for Billy. He did not want to lose him, especially as he wns wa'tlng to put Billy on In another act tho vr next week The r..e r.ager of the circus was appealed to. an d" started every ono to huntlnr Billy. At length the big tent was pulled nwuy, and there, right In tho middle of th ring, lay our old friend, Billy Bumpus, fust asleep. The tentmen took hhn up and started for the train. They did not awaken him. In fact, he slept until early morning, when Spider, tho Albino's Monkey, woke him with a btart. Billy wondered what had happened. '4$oi "( 7!i Til "I'M m . X4 - A .
