said Pauline. "a woman like her would
not dare to run such risk. She must
have lost the money. She may have Iost
1t before she entered the shop, or some
one may have stolen 1t from her there.

that pretext for attacking him. but sne

tone, while the judge walked towards
the door, Il should not feel SO safe if it

about her. There was no actual harm
done, you understand; but there was
some nonsense and imprudence, and
Tunstall, somehow or other, got wind Of
it. Percy has been in a state of mind
lately, but ! didn't expect the woman
would behave in this way. suppose
she had the alternative of turning against
her husband or against Percy, and find
ing that the strongest battalions were on
her husbands side, she very prudently
and with much propriety sided with him.
But what is Percy's defense?"
"He denies the charge" the judge an
swered; "but he has no theory as to how
the thing happened"
"What is the theory of the prosecu-
ton as to the disappearance of the bank
notesr'
"They assume that Percy must have
passed them to confederate"
''Was anybody resembling confeder-
ate seen hanging about?"
The shop was full of people coming
and going: but no one in particular was
noticed"
"Its lame theory" remarked Martin,
after little consideration. elf Percy
had passed confederate the money, he
would have passed him the purse too.
1t is more likely that whoever did the
stealing kept the notes, which could not
be identified, and got rid Of the purse,
which could be identified. by droppingit it
into Percy's pocket as he passed by"
Il think that view is sound one,
said the judge; "but the thief has got
off, and the prospect of apprehending
him is very small. Percy may not be
convicted; / hardly think he could be;
but there is, nevertheless, evidence
enough against him to produce a dis
agreeable effect upon persons not ac-
quainted with him. And, Of course,
when it is known that Mrs. Tunstall was
acquainted with him, and yet did not
hesitate to accuse him, his position
even after he has been legally exonerated
will be painful and embarrassing one.

calm, though her great DlacK eyes snone
with unusual brilliance. "YOu needn't
hesitate to tell me anything"
''It is annoying is the most and
least that can be said Of it. Percy is now
at police headquarters, my dear. He
will be bailed out as soon as a magistrate
can be got to hear the case; and ! came
up here in the interval"
"Oh! been punching somebody's head,
has he2" said the Englishman, in tone
of relief "Where was he last night?"
''Why, he was here this morning a
few hours ago." said Pauline. He had
q private talk with mother. He was

"He was entirely himself" put in the
Judge This is one of those pieces OF
bad luck which may occur to any man.
The circumstances were such as to sug-
gest the hypothesis though upon en-
tirely inadequate grounds, in my opinion
that Percy had been guilty of an in
fringement of the law You will smile
when you hear it; but the absurdity of
the thing does not render it less annoy
ing for the moment. He happened to
be in iewelry store when a lady missed
her pocket book. 1t was supposed that
it had been stolen
''And Percy was accused OF taking it'll"
said Pauline, in low voice.
I'm default of any other plausible OBJ
iect of suspicion, the detective pitched
upon him and he was taken to the
station"
THAT is too preposterous to do him
any HARM" Martin remarked. IF it
had not been SO bad, it would have been
a great deal worse"
"When the lady knows who he is, she
will refuse to prosecute him." said Pau
line
$50 should have supposed" returned
the judge. But it appears that there
was already some acquaintance between
them; and Percy was in conversation
with her at the time the loss was dis
covered"
"Who is she?' demanded Pauline, turn
ing very pale.
"Her name is Tunstall, believe-the
wife of one of our coal barons"
''Tunstall-Mrs Cuthbert Tunstall,"
repeated Pauline. Il think I have met
her-yes have met her. She is pretty
woman-fashionable. And she accuses
Percy of having robbed her?"
The judge moved his head silently.
Martin, at the mention Of the lady's
name. had changed countenance slightly.
''She must be his enemy said Pau
line. setting her grave lips together. mo
woman who knew Percy would have
done that except from wish to ruin
him. She knows he is not guilty"
"Was Mr.. Tunstall with his wife?' in
quired Martin Of the Judge.
"He came in the midst Of the affair.
I may as well give you an account of the
affair" And the judge went on to tell
the story that is already known to the
reader. Both his listeners listened in
tently.
"My opinion is" said Martin, when
the narrative was finished, ''that the job
was put up on Percy. The woman did
not have any money to lose."
"You forget that her pockctbook was
found in his pocket" said Pauline.
"She may have put it there herself.
But at all events that does not account
for the bank notes. New York women
are not in the habit of travelling about
town with two or three thousand dollars
in bills in their muffs. She would have
had check, if she had had anything"

THE CASE OF CONSUL LEWIS.
Another Damaging Statement Made by
Ramon Azogue.

Ramon Azoque, the naturalized Moor, who
appeared yesterday before Secretary Blaine as
witness in the investigation of the charges
against Consul VIM. Reed Lewis, had a
talk with Mr.. Walker Blaine this morning in
reference to his claim for salary still due him
as interpreter at the consulate at Tangiers.
HIS SALARY WITHHELD.
He says that his salary for fifteen months was
withheld by Lewis and that the
latter made it appear to the de-
partment that he (Azoque) had
been dismissed, but wished to be allowed to
remain in service without salary. As refuta-
ton Of this fact he exhibits a
letter from Lewis, dated August 1, which
proves that Lewis then considered him in his
employ. The vouchers were signed by an
errand boy as interpreter.
BLANK PROTECTION CERTIFICATES FOR SALE.
Azoque says that Lewis, in order to silence
his calls for salary, gave him a number Of
blank protection certificates bearing his sigma
ture and the seal of the United States and told
him to sell them for rs much as he could get
for them and to pocket the money. This is
against the law, and Azoque laid the
blanks before the Secretary, who imme-
diately sent to Lewis the cablegram
which led to his recall. Azoque took counsel
with a neighboring United States consul, who
was dumbfounded at Lewis action. The hear
ing of the case will be continued Monday.

A LEGAL PUZZLE.
North Dakota's Claim Against the North
Pacific for Taxes u Side-tracked.

CHICAGO, Oct IA dispatch from Bis
marck, OAK, says: A complication Of con-
siderable magnitude with reference to what
are known - the "gross earnings tax cases"
IL likely TO arise from the transition from ter
ritorial existence to statehood in North Dakota.
The gross earnings' tax cases involve several
hundred thousand dollars Of taxes alleged to
be due from the Northern Pacific railroad to
the counties along the line of the road. These
taxes, it will be remembered, were levied and
assessed upon the land grant lands of the
Northern Pacific by the Gov. Church regime
and were contested by the railroad company.
A test case was made and the matter argued very
deliberately before Judge Rose Of jamestown
last spring. At the argument Alfred Wallin,
one of the newly elected judges of the supreme
court, appeared for the railroad and ]. M.
Bartholomew, also one of the newly elected
judges, appeared for the counties. Judge
Rose decided against the railroad and the cases
were appealed to the supreme court Of the ter
ritory. At the recent session of the supreme
court at Deadwood, the judges concluded not
to decide the cases and to allow them to stand
for adjudication by the incoming supreme
court Of North Dakota. As Judges Bartholo-
NEW and Wallin are both incapacitated from
deciding the cases, the only remaining judge is
Judge Corliss Of Grand Forks, and he alone is
not majority Of the supreme bench. So it is
evident that very knotty problem arises,
and the lawyers and judges are considers
bly, puzzledover it.
