Her face ,vas flushed, and her eyes Hashed with In dlgu.itlou. What Is It?" asked her partner, Air. 1, Cunningham. "Cheating!" The hostess approached, ovldently nnxtous. "Anything amiss at this table?" she asked. "Mrs. Lyman and Mr. Porter have been winning our money by using private signals Informing each other of tholr hands!" said Miss Bend loudly "Oh. dear, 110! None of my guests would do 11 thing like that. How could jou have luiulo such a mistake?" The accused persons remained In Iholr seats, vth an expression on thlr I faces Indicating astonishment nnd In- J Jured Innocence. Miss Bend and Mr. 1 Cunningham went Into another room. I They were soon joined by the hostess. I "My dour," she said to Miss Bend, "you haw been very Indiscreet. We nil know Mrs. Lyman's peculiarities. Nobody cau prove that she cheats be cause she does it lu 11 way that defies proof Rht has a new signal every time she plays and never uses any sig nal except w'.ieu playing with Mr Por ter. Thou she makes enough money to rcgnln all losses and have a sntis mm over. What wan the eoie tonight?" "When she was strong In hoarti." re plied Mist Bend, "she would put Iwr hand 011 her he.irt: when strong In dia monds, on her liroocli." The next d-.y the scaml-il was known to every person of fashion Mrs r.y man disappeared for a i-oason. and. in for her pirtner. It' was In'iniatod to him by tho governors of hla ilul that If he did not resign lib- membership he must face an Investigation. He resigned nnd changed Mi 1 evidence. Several months passed and Miss Bend hnd nearly forgotten the dlsi greeable Incident when one day while making purchases In a dry goods Btore a floorwalker stepped up to her and asked her to please step Into a private offlce. She was surprised, hut. unus plclous of anything unpWsant. follow ed the floorwnlker. Arrived at the of flee, she found there Mr. Dargen of the Arm of Dargiui & Co. and 11 woman who proceeded to examine the eonteuts of her shopplug bag What was Miss Bend's astonishment to see the woman take out a roll of valuaMe Inre. "Some one put that there." Hald the glr! Indignantly "I remember laying my bag down on the lace counter, for gatlug it when I went nway and go lng hack for It. "Bring the clerk." raid Mr. Dnrgen "who f61!s these especial good? " The saleswoman came. When she saw tho lace thnt hnd been taken from her counter she looked an astonish ment that was evidently not assumed. ' "How do you account for this lace getting In this lady's bag?" asked Mr. Darg.'n. "I haven't nn Idea," snld tho clerk. "" 'ho discovered the theft?" "A lady." said tho floorwalker, "told me thnt she had scpn this lady shopllft- I lng." "uy aia you not uoiu on to your witness?" "Fearing to lose tho thief, I kept my ayes on her. nnd the nceuper disappear ed. I couldn't keep both In sight." Miss Bend telephoned for her father, who came at once and proved tho fam ily respectabllltv. Miss Bend had never before been nccused of shoplifting, so tho Arm of Dargen & Co. consented that she be given time to offer nil ex- planutlon before being prosecuted. Despite an effort made to keep tho matter quiet It became known. Miss Bend wns one of those plnln spoken. Indlfforent girls who. detesting socie ty's methods of varnishing eyll. nre liable to make enemies outside tho cir cle of their Intimate friends, ner ene mies said that she had got her Just deserts, intimating that Mrs. Lyman, whom she hnd nccused of cheating at cards, had been vindicated. Some of them went so far as .to resumo their Invitations to the latter. Mrs. navens, tho lady at whoso house Mrs. Lyman had been nccused, was abroad when Miss Bend was found to hnve lace in her bag. It was tho first bit of news she heard on her re turn. Hastening to Miss Bend, she said to her: "I should hnvo warned you. Bertha, that Mrs. Lyman Is a dangerous wo man to offend and that sho would get oven with you for making public her cheating. Sho did this work. Let your lawyer confront her with tho saleswoman at the lace counter and the floorwalker. Unless sho acted through a confederate they will Identi fy her." Tho next day a gentlemanly looking man called on Mrs. Lyman and asked her to accompany htm to the offlco of Dargen "& Co. Sho turned pale and asked by what authority ho acted. Ho replied that sho 'had a choice between complying nnd being arrested. She thought the matter over and concluded, to comply. In Dargen's offlco sho found the floorwalker who had been Informed of tho theft and tho sales woman at tho lace counter. Tho for mer identified her as his Informant and the latter as a lady who stepped up to tho counter at tho tlmo Miss Bend's bag was lying thero and while Its owner wns absent. A compromise was mado by which Mrs. Lyman signed a confession to bo shown to a few of Miss Bend's friends, and Mrs. Lyman went abroad. . And so it was that this respectable circle settled their differences without referring them to the criminal courts, and this little story never mado oven a rlpplo outside the social world. MARY A.

Never saw him rage an' tear Round about like one possessed; Took his share of grim despair. Like as It was for the best. Never said his luck was bad, Somehow never saw him riled; Even when he wasn't glad, Still he smiled. Seemed to me a trifle queer; Even when he suffered wrong Through a fellow-brother here, Didn't trouble him for long, Said 'twas not for him to judge, Oh, so patient-like an' mild, Guessed he wouldn't bear a grudge, Then he smiled.

A man is generally true to first love himself. his A spoonful of success Is than a gallon of failure. bettor Even tho intoxication of love may have dlro after effects. Thero isn't much fun In gambling if you can afford to lose. Some men's Idea of a corking good time is an uncorking ono. Some people couldn't break society with a burglar's kit.
