"It looks bad for me, sir, especially as one of the rings waa found in my overcoat pocket" "That last fact counts for nothing." I remarked, and added: "Tell me candidly, Orr, have you no theory upon which the thing can be explained?" "No, sir, I have not; it seems very strange; I can't understand It," he said, his voice trembling perceptibly, and hia eyes again filling with tears.

Indian Chiefs Were Hospitably Enter talned by Pilgrim Father. The first Thanksgiving was appointed by Gov. Bradford, at I'lymouth, Mas., In 1(121, the year following the landing of the Pilgrims, m order thut the Colonist in a more special way could rejoice to gether at bavlug all things in good and plenty, writes Clifford Howard In the Ladies' Home Journal. In preparation for the feast "gunners were sent into 'the wood ror wild turkeys, which abouuded there In great numbers; kltvheua were made ready for preparing the feast espe cially the large one in Dame Brewster's house, which was under the imiuedinte direction and clmrge of I'rlscllla Mollues, she who afterward became the wife of John Alden while a messenger was dis patched to Invite Mttasusolt, the chief of the friendly tribe, to attend the celebra tion. "Early on the morning of the appointed Thursday about the first of November Masaasott and ninety of his warriors ar rived on the outskirts of the village, and with wild yells announced their readiness to enjoy the hospitality of their white brethren.

ASIDE from some noted criminal prosecutions which I conducted several years ago, the incident which I am about to relate was one of the most Interesting chapters in my pro fessional life. It had been a stormy No vember day. During the morning the rain had come down in torrents. Toward noon the water began to crystallize as it de scended, and all afternoon the anow had been blowlug and drifting in a very un comfortable way. It grew dark early, Perhaps it was because of this that I de cided to go home an hour earlier than usual. I say perhaps, because I have al ways thought that providence had some thing to do with my going out on to the street at that moment Pausing up Broad way I turned into Fourteenth street to cross to the elevated railroad station, Near the corner I encountered a crowd of men and boys, in the center of which stood a bluecoat with a prisoner. Stand ing on tip-toe, I saw that the prisoner was a young lad with a remarkably hand some face and gentlemanly manner. call bad been senf in for a patrol wagon, and the policeman was waiting the re sponse. The boy looked thoroughly fright ened. As I reached the spot he was pro testing his innocence and begging to be released. "I tell you honestly, sir, it is a mistake. I know nothing of the jewelry. I am in nocent, sir; I ant, truly." "That's all right you young rascal.' the policeman replied. "Nobody that's ar rested ever steals anything. But when we get our clutches on 'em they don' generally turn out such innocents as they claim. Just then the patrol wagon dashed up, two officers alighted, and the boy waa qmcKiy bustled up the steps of the wagon ana anven off. "What station 7" I asked as they drove on toward tne south, mere was no re ply, but by walking rapidly in the direc tion taken by the officers I soon brought up at tne aiercer street station, where, as an attorney. I soon obtained an interview with the lad whose face had so greatly - Interested me. When I was shown to hia cell he was weeping bitterly, and appear- . to to oe in aosoinre dsepair. "I saw you at the patrol box," I said by way of introduction, "and thought I would like to hnd out a little more about your case. I am a lawyer; and if you aTe in nocent aa I think you must be, I will see wnat can be done to get you out of this. my name is Liawson, what is Tours?" "Frank Orr," he said promptly, as a wave of gratitude and hope swept over his iace. .Lnen ne added: "This is verv kind of you, sir. The whole miserable business is a mistake. I never took a bit of the ;eweiry; not a bit" J. hen I sat down on the cot beside Frank and asked him to tell me all about hjs trouoie. , His home was in Westers Vermont, he aiu, ana ne naa oeeu in ISew York about a year. He had come here to get a start in the world. While his success had not oeen ail mat his fancy used to paint it yet, considering the hard times, he had done very well. Once a month he had been able to send a little money to bis mother, who needed his help sorely. For six months past he had been employed in the shop of a manufacturing jeweler. That day twenty valuable rings and gome oth er articles had disappeared from a show case. They were missed just after the noon hour. During that hour the work men were always out at lunch, and Frank and another young man named Lereh were usually in charge. But to-day Lerch was sick at home, and Frank was in the hop alone. "Did you see no one about the premises during that hourT I asked. isvT JMMMVM) . . A IENSATION. That the world is coming to an end sud- aemy at a given time is not what is re ferred to.

'It is a trifle mysterious, my young friend," I said, rising. "But I somehow believe you are not the guilty nartv. will ask the sergeant to give you a more comfortable place than this for the uight In the morning I will see you again." When the catse came up at the Jefferson Market police court next dar I secured an adjournment Then I went to work vigor ously to hunt down the thief. I started out on the theory of b rank s innocence. Then, it waa clear that the janitor could not himself have stolen the goods. He might have had an accomplice, however, who may have been concealed somewhero in the room, and carried off the jewelry while Frank was taking his two-minute view of the horses in the alley. This filler might have dropped the ring into Frank's pocket so as to point suspicion toward its owner. . My theory proved correct. A trnarded talk with some people living near the home of Hogan, the janitor, made me ac quainted with his character and habits. What I learned was not to his credit I also came into possession of the fact that he had been seen the previous night at a Bowery saloon in company with a fellow named Tingle, who had done time at Sing Sing, and who waa now under surveil- ance by the police. I went to the saloon named, but learned that the men had only been there a few minutes earlier in the evening. They had no money and were sober." the bartender explained, "so guess they ain't been Into no crooked work of late." The fact that they were not snendinir money made me believe that if these men were really the thieves they had not vet som tneir plunder. Bo I decided upon a bold movement. Securing the aid of a trusty detective who had once served me in somewhat similar case. I went to Ho- gan's bouse. A red-faced woman admit ted us. "Mr. Tingle left some rinirs and other Jewelry with you for safe-keeping," I said In confident tone, purposely refrain ing from giving any hint that suspicion also rested upon her husband. The property Is not Mr. Tinele's. and if you wish to save yourself from trouble you will deliver it up to this officer at once," I added. The woman turned pale and hesitated. A threat to place her under arrest brought her to a decision, and a Darcel containing the plunder was placed in my hand. At the police court next day Hoean and Tingle were confronted with the evidence' of their crime, and Frank Orr's eyes danc ed with joy when the Judge expressed re gret that so serious a mistake had been made, and told him h waa at liberty, - bled over the snow-clad hills of Vermont, ran up tne oiu lane under the apple trees, greeted old Aero with a shout that woke the echoes, and burst Into the dear old home just In time for dinner.
