seemed as though some one had bee,,
lying, and it was certainly not the
washer woman. The neighbors be
gan to grow Indignant, but fond
"parients" never seemed to smell i,
mice. At last the peoples Indignation
took shape, and the washer woman
was bai'cd out Of prison. Then a
sharp detective was put upon the

had discovered that Miss Jenny had

Doctor aud lis wife went out one day.
ahtl when he returned, he found his
treasury sadly depleted. All of hi
diamonds had vanished, and goodl>
portion Of bis bank notes. OF course
the Doctor was frantic, aud the
