Miss Bond threw down her curat uuij
arose from tin table. 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.

Never saw him really down,
Looking glum or sad or blue;
Never saw him with a frown,
'Spite of all the grief ho know.
When things really looked the worst
He was like a little child;
Bore it bravely from the flr3t,
Always smiled.
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.
Always smiling on his way,
'Splto o' trouble, grief, or woe,
Had a pleasant word to say,
Never let a fellow know
When his heart was sick an' sore,
Bearing what would make you
wild;
Kinder passed his troubles o'er,
When he smiled.

The cup of sorrow Is made so narrow
That only one heart can drink
Tho path of pleasure Is broad and

And leads through a lovely .land,
