4caUC remarked Jules Lormo whim
alcally n lio lonrned the cnntentH of
fcls Tatlier'H will from his father's law
yer. "Ho knew that I would uot com
ply with the terms of so atrocious a
will to marry a woman who could
Bcithor read nor write."
rt "You have a year of grace," remind
m1 Coyle.
A year later Jules appeared at the
" fflce of the family lawyer.
"My lease Is up. Coyle," he reminded.
"And I think I have found n way by
which you can fulfill all conditions
atml still retain your freedom. You
can marry a woman who can neither
pernl nor write, and Immediately after
the ceremony you can go abroad. At
hc expiration of two years fho can
quietly sccuro a divorce. You can
spare u generous alimony. I have mot
a. frood. conscientious girl who Is per
, iSfcctly willing."
"Is alio a domestic?"
"No; I believe .she does ncedlowork."
"It's odd In theso days of schools
and. truant olllccrs that she escaped
v tliejilphabet at least."
".She says she never has had the op
portunity nor the desire to learu. I
will urrango all details for you."
After some further discussion Jules
acceded to the proposition, and at dusk
of the appointed day ho rang for ad
mission to Coyle's residence. The law
" ycr'inet lilm In the hall and ushered
Mnluto a dimly lighted library where
a minister and Henry Phillips. Jules
aP friend, were In wafting. They all
wciif Into the reading room adjoining.
Near the doorway Jules paused nnd
took ed into the room, which was in
total darkness, K
, With an odd sinking of-the heart
Jules .took his position beside the shad
owy form of a woman. lie made the
restf'dnses In a quick, Jerky way, anx
Sous to end the affair. The woman at
bla.Ide spoke In nearly Inaudible
tones.
When the sentence of man and wlfo
wa pronounced Jules 'returned to tho
Horary and hastily signed some papers
Coy'lg gave him.
""Where is my (wlfo?" he then aBkcd.
"She remained in tho reading room."
The young bridegroom hesitated.
Then resolutely he turned and went
-feack Into the reading room. His eyes,
bow accustomed to the gloom, discern
ed Iier at the end of the room. Sho
was sitting on a couch, her face burled
ta the cushions. One arm hung list
testily over the edge.
".May ! spoak with you?" ho naked
rourtcously.
.Sin) did not lift her head from tho
pillow.
"I'want to (hank.you," ho continued,
"for the Bcrvlco you have rendered
c."
She murmured a disclaimer of his
amiks. He took her hand. It was
jtlll cold and trembling. His grasp,
nn"nnd sustaining, tightened.
-! 'nm sorry," ho said tlrtnly, "that
you will not sec me, but I want you to
promise mo that If you ever need help
er.niiv.lce you will come to me."
, "iWvill," she said sol'tiy.

Tlie nest day he was leaning against
3h railing r the nteamer, Idly watch
rag' ihe fetenos upon (lie wharf, whon
be saw Phillips making his way to
ward a young girl who was daintily
petite In form and lovely of face aud
feature.' She was accompanied by a
Middle aged woman.
, -you must look uftor Miss Derrlng
tna.lules," cautioned Phillips as ho
aa inking leave of thorn all n fow
nwowonts later, "Her nuut has tho
atateroom habit, sho tolls mo."
Julea scarcely heard hlni. He was
looking Into tho wonderful eyes of the
ywing girl. An hour later Mrs. Mar
shall had ful tilled the prophecy re
garding the stateroom and Jules had
jalncd SaUme on dock,
"jfou don't scorn u stranger to me."
, fJaWAld, "I lmvo coroo to know you
ittreugh your books."
4 '.Tfiero followed a long and animated
aluCMBslou of books and authors until
aJK&ser time,
-She Is a darling." Jules told him
ir'a lie lay In Ills berth lUtonlng to
vertiythmtc measures of tho eugluos
that wight.
Tbo voyage paused In n succession
il days of sparkling sunshine. Mrs.
Marshall romalned perforce In soli
tary conuuement, and Jules .was con
stantly with Salome, who grew fairly
radiant with happiness. Ho came to
lure np olid feeling at times, as If In
some prc-exlatenco sho had belonged
to him. Then his now fancy would
fceijuccceded by the mystic charm of
llwtotlier,
" Rarly In tho morning of the (ast day
0twi heir foy age ho camo, qut on tho
?lertieck Salome was1 already, there.
As sho turned to him he saw a shad
ow of sadness in her eyes. .
"This is our last day," she said In a
low tone.
"Tea, and I am sorry," he replied
simply.
"I wish you were coming with ui
to tut north of England."
He did not reply at once.
"It cau't be," he argued to Wa trou
bled self. "It la only the Drat flutter
ing fancy of a young girl the fancy
for an older man aud one who writes.
I shall not see her after we laud. Still,
In a young, romantic girl's heart af
fection sometimes flourishes In ab
sence. I should tell her. 1 will."
"Salome" tho name slipped out un
consciously "I should have told you
before, but I disliked to talk about my
personalities. I am married."
Ho then briefly related the circum
stances of ulsttnarriiige.
"Before the ceremony," ho conclud
ed, "I had considered only my part In
tho affair. I was narrow enough to
think that because she had been de
nied certain advantages a little money
would recompense. It may have been
great need for herself and others that
forced her to this step. At any rate,
I should have talked tho matter over
with her. I am going to return to
New York If sho wishes and have the
marriage annulled."
Ho glanced at her for tho first tlmo
during the recital, nia heart leaped
to life. In her eyes was an exquisite
softness., A slight moisture dimmed her
lashes. She held out her hand.
"Thank you for telling mo. Aud now
must tell you something. I, too, am
mnrrled."
'You! Salomo, Impossible! You, so
young?"
"I was married tho night before we
sailed In Mr. Coyle's library."
"Salomo, the woman I married was
tall-very tall.".
"I stood on a stool."
"Iler name was Mary."
"My first name, Is Mary. I never use
It except to sign."
He gathered her close to his arms
an one who claims his own.
"Salome, only the recollection of my
wlfo was between us. Will you be
my wife my real wife?"
There was a revealing answer of Joy
in tin1 face upraised to his.
"Tell me." he commanded, "how It
came about."
"My aunt engaged Mr, Coylo to man
age our estate, lie learned how Inter
ested 1 was In your books, and ho
talked much of yomnnd the will. lie
proposed this marriage and planned"
the 'voyage. lie said, wo could find out
If wo cared"
"I can't Imagine Coyle'a being fran
tic." he laughed.
"It- wasn't romance, no would not
have-proposed It If"
"If?'.'
"Oh. Jules, I can neither read nor
write! I have been blind since I was
four years old until threo Jnontlis ago.
Aunt read your books to me."
Making Amends.
A poor Turkish slater of Constanti
nople, being at work upon tho roof of
a house, lost his footing and fell Into
tho narrow street upon n man. The
pedestrian wns killed by the concus
sion, whllo the slater escaped without
material Injury. A son of the deceased
caused the slater to be arrested. The
cadi listened attentively and In the end
asked the slator what ho had to say
In his defense.
"Dispenser of Justice," answered the
accused, "It Is oven as this man says,
but heaven forbid that there should bo
evil In my heart. I am a poor man
and know not how to make amends."
Tho son of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that con
dign punishment should be Intllcted on
tho neeuscd.
Tlio cadi medltnted a few moments
nnd finally said, "It shall be so." Then
to the slater he said, "Thou uhalt stand
in tho street where tho father of this
youlig nmn stood wheu thou didst fall
on him."
And to tho accuser he added: "Thou
shalt, If It please thee, go up on the
roof and fall upon the culprit even as
ho fell upon thy father. Allah bo
praised!"

othor things upon the suggestion of the
llttlo yotlow or white paper slips with
their condensed meosugew without In
the least questioning their authenticity.
This Is an interesting fact, upuu which
hinges an eiioniidiis amount of the
country's buoluess. and It Is ulso a fact
upon which binge some of the clover
est and boldest frauds In criminal rec
ords,
A lot of uerve and a little telegram
was a combination that made possiblo
a smooth swindle ou a Des Moines
bank. A well dressed man, apparently
a business man of large affairs, called
ut the paying teller's window with a
draft or check on un Omaha bank and
asked If the Omaha bank had tele
graphed notice that the draft was
good. Ho got "no" for an nnswer nnd
then Informed the teller that such a
telegram might be expected at any
moment. Soon afterward the telegram
arrived, delivered by a messenger boy,
appearing to have come from tho Oma
ha bank aud authorizing the Des
Moines bank to pay tho draft. When
the stranger appeared again he wns
given the $500. When the Des Moines
bank people took up the matter by
wire with tho Omaha bank It found
that the latter Institution had uot sent
the telegram, and then It was discov
ered that the whole transaction was a
fraud.
Put how could the swindlers send a
telegram from Omaha 'bearing tho
bank's name? They did It In- this
manner: An accomplice of the Des
Moines man stepped to a telephouo
booth In Omaha and called the tele
graph ofllcc. "This Is tho bank."
ho said. "Send a messenger at once
to got a telegram for Des Moines."
Then this accomplice hurried to tho
entrance of the Omaha bank to meet
the messenger nnd there handed him
tho message for Des Moines. Tho
telegraph company hud no reason to
believe otherwise than that the bank
had actually signed the message, and
It transmitted It. The Des Moines
bank also accepted the telegram as
genuine because It bofe every mark
pf genuineness, and it paid out the
money to tho swindlers, who timed
their fraud so that they got out of
reach of the law on trains that left
Immediately after their game had been
worked.
In two smaller western towns a sim
ilar game was worked, only for seven
or eight times the amount. An alleged
horse buyer appeared In one of tho
towns and made purchase of a carload
of flue animals to be delivered and
paid for at a later day, preceding
which ho made the acquaintance of tho
olllccrs of one of tho banks. On tho
day fixed for the delivery of the horses
the alleged buyer deposited In the
bunk a draft for a large amount drawn
on a bank In another town a hundred
miles away. At the same time the
bauk received a telegram purporting
to couio from the distant bank author
izing tho payment of this draft. The
bank believed the telegram, paid out
tho money and then discovered that
tho telegram was fraudulent. It bad
not been sent by tho second bank, but
by a confederate of the alleged horse
buyer. Later developments disclosed
that this nccompllce hnd called up tho
telegraph office In tho distant town by
telephone. "This Is , cashier of tho
bank," ho said. "Please send this
telegram for me." Then he gave the
message authorizing the first bauk to
pay thu bogus draft, aud this message

ATTRE OCTAG ON HOUSE
It Wasn't a Burglar That the
Pretty Intruder Encountered.

the rufu bordered path t the tall Ktnna
wall Iii t Inclosed the detfvru-d house
noxt door. The ownurs were abroad,
and tliera wus' no prospect of their Im
mediate raturu to Inhabit the Octagon
House, ns It was called,
ltosamond had made many excur
sions uhiTTit the neglected grounds and
dreamed Inn uy dreams beneath the no
ble trees that rose from the unkept
turf. She had taken toll of the bloom
lug flowers nnd shrubs lu their sea
sons, and now she fed the gray squir
rels that raced up and down tho green
branches.
Her fanilly laughed at her fondness
for the Octagon House and predicted a
speedy abandonment when Mrs. Phil
lips came home again, for Mrs. Phil
lips was old and Irascible and much
feared by Itosamond since sho wns a
llttlo child.
But on this glorious September day,
when the late monthly roses were bor
dering tho path with dellcnto sweet
ness, Itosamond, a fair, sweet rose her
Self, thought little of Mrs. Phillips in
distant Ilerlln. The day was made for
her for her nlono and the Octagon
House!
Sho followed tho stono wnll to an In
tersecting fence which served as a
stepping stone. In a trice she bad
Jumped lightly to the soft turf of tho
other side mid sped swiftly ncross tho
dappled green toward tho house.
The crooked plnzza. which followed
the outline of tho old house, wns cov
ered with Virginia creeper, even now
turning to brilliant scarlet and gold.
In ono corner where the vines hung
low nnd formed a curtain were a long
wicker chair and a pile of Rosamond's
favorite books.
She had tired of reading nnd was
sitting half drowsy with' sleep-when a
step on the plnzza roused her. Never
before had any ono trespassed on her
chosen retreat.
She parted tho vines nnd peeped
through to discover n man's tidl form
bent to peer Into tho half drawn shades
of tho long windows. He straightened
up again, and she saw that his clothes
were gray and dusty nnd that whlto
dust powdered his dnrk hair, ne was
mopping his forehead vigorously with'
a handkerchief, and she noticed that
his hands' were bronzed by cxposuro to
tho sun. .
That tho man was a burglar Rosa
mond hnd not a doubt. Her henrt al
most stopped beating whon he glanced'
carelessly toward her vino covered re
treat ibefore ho pat down ou tho top
step to light a pipe.
"He's wondering how to get in,"
murmured Itosamond to herself. "If
only 1 were bravo enough I would go
out and frighten him away, but I am
fearfully afraid of burglars, and yet If
ho should brenk In nnd steal some of
Mrs. Phillips' pictures I would feol
dreadful, because I have enjoyed her
hospitality unasked." Sho smiled
thoughtfully nnd then snt very quietly.
Presently she dropped n book on tho
floor and rustled out of her retreat
with a haughty expression ou her
sweet face. Tho stranger Jumped1 to
hla feet nnd pulled off his gray cap.
'1 beg your pardon," ho stammered.
"I didn't know any ono was around."
Itosamond fixed him with a cold
stare while she mentally decided that
he wan too good looking to bo engaged
In such n nefarious pastime as burglar
izing unoccupied country houses.
She lifted her pretty brows Inquir
ingly. "You wished to seo some ono?"
"Why er no. I didn't expect to seo
any one here. 1 thought the plueo was
vacant," ho stammered, knocking his
pipe against the railing and. stutllng it
iuto his pocket.
"It Is not vneapt. I nm hero," saia
Rosamond bravely.
"So I er see," with an nlr of cha
grin.
"The house Is welPprotocted."
"I am glad of that," ho said heartily.
Rosamotid Imagined his touo wus
sarcastic. "Perhaps you. wished to see
my husband," sho saldi In. a. wavering
volco.
Tho mau started violently, and his
eyes forsook her face and. dropped to
tho ground. "Of courso It would bo n
pleasure," ho said. "Is ho- around?"
Rosamond edged, uloser to tho steps
and ran lightly down to tho path bo
low. "I will call, him- He is uot far
uwoy," she cried breathlessly. Then
she turned aud 'sped swiftly toward
the wall that divided the place from
her home. Onco there, her father
would telephone to tho vlllago for as
sistance, and tu.ua the burglary would
be prevented.
She thought Bho heard swift steps
behind her, uud sho renewed her speed
toward the wall. Her heart was beat
lug nliuost to suffocation as sho step
ped ou a loose stone. She uttered a
terrified cry as tho stono slipped and
Bho- fell to tho ground,
Now she heard swift steps lu reali
ty as the stranger crossed the turf and
bout anxiously above her,
"1 hopo you have uot hurt yourself,"
ho said gruveiy. .
"I have sprained my ankle," admit
ted the girl wlth whlte Hps. .
"What were you trying to do not to
scalo tho wallV" ,
"Yes."
"Why? Was your husbaud over
there?"
A red flush crept to her brows.
"Yes," sho said.
"Shall I call lilm,M asked the sus
pected burglar frankly, "or shall 1
carry you back to th'e plawa aud get
you some cold yn.te.r? Wuere arp the
MrraMt? uare you occupied tho
houaa lone? Uy aUnt wrote me that
tb place wa vacant." Ha hammered
out the quvutloua with remorseless
baste.
Rosamond stared wIUi growing hor
ror. "Who are you? Who Is your
aunt?" she fa sped la return.
"I am Un. Pklllipa' nephew. Uy
name's David PUHIIps. I bare bought
the pleee, and 1 came down to look It
aver. 1 was te hare met the real es
tate man at the atatloa. He vaiiui, but
he for rot the keys, ao I walked on.
As he said nothing about the place be
ing occupied, I rraa anrprlsed to find a
tenant"
Rosamond closed her eyes wearily,
while her brain aouglit some escape
from her appalling position. Sho was
angry at baring placed herself In such
a situation. She might have known
this good looking young man was not
r burglar. She opened her eyes with
suddenness and looked straight at htm.
"I wish you would go away." sho
said petulantly,
"Of course. If you wish it. But you
aro suffering. May I not call some ono
to help you? I will look for jour hus
band. If you will tell me his name."
IJo stopped awkwardly.
"I haven't any husband," she said
recklessly. "You sec. I've becu in tho
habit of running over here and sitting
on the porch nnd reading, nnd today I
saw you looking In the window, nnd I
thought you woro a burglar, and so I
tried to frighten you away by pretend
ing I had u husband. I live next door,
and my name Is Rosamond Lee sc
there! You may laugh If you want to.'
"But. I don't want to' laugh," ho said
softly. "1 think It was nwfully brave
of you, you know, when you believed
me to bo a desperado. Now. Miss Lee.
you must let me help you home ngaln.
for that ankle needs attention at once.
Permit me as u neighbor and perhaps
Inter on a friend!" He stooped and
lifted her In his strong arms and car
ried her through quiet bypaths to a
small gate In the wall and thus up tho
rose bordered path Into her father's
care.
Many times after that David Phillips
strode up the rose bordered path to see
Itosamond Lee. and the following Juno,
when the roses were rioting the gar
den, he clnimed her as his own. nud to
gether they passed under the portal of
the rejuvenated' Oi'tugon House, of
which Itosamond became lu fact tho
mistress.
