Mrs. Benson hesitated few moments
longer, then rose and went slowly from
the room after a lorg ago cast off coat
that she remembered The temptation
had proved too much Gor her At the
foot of the stairs she paused. "John
wouldn't like it," she thought. mo,
I'll go without the lace till can afford
to buy it." She turned back Just as
the sound of closing door caught her
ear.
The peddler was gone! InstincMvely
her eyes flew to the table where she
had left her rings; they, too, were gone
Without moments thought she
rushed to the door and screamed: 'sPo-
lice!" at the top of her lungs. Strange
to say, her call was Immediately an
swered, for around the corner of the
square appeared blue-coated guardian,
dragging the unwilling person of the
identical peddler.
Hes stolen my rings!" screamed
Mrs. Benson. Don't let him come
near me, sir!"
Il thought he'd stole something when
l see him come away on the dead Jump"
said the policeman, 'an' l thought I'd
just run him in and see about it," Dur
ing this speech he had been rapidly
emptying the peddler's pockets, despite
his vehement struggles.
Here they be, ma'am. They'll give
them to you at the police station when
I've sworn to them. Come along here,
my beauty!''
"Mary!' screamed the peddler, when
he could free himself enough to speak,
but Mrs. Benson had sunk in heap OH
the hall floor with the closed door be-
tween them, and the peddler was
dragged off with motely procession
following.
To the statement that he was John
Benson, well-known and respectable
lawyer, only laughter and the reply
That won't work here" was returned
to him and he accordingly found him
self in very narrow cell with every
prospect of a night to be spent in it.
Mrs. Benson waited for her husbands

but brave determination to tell him
the whole story.
Supper time came and passed with

waited. Nine o'clock came, ten, and
still he did not come.
Visions of possible murders, acci-

face appeared in the frame.

timidly.

asked Mr.. Benson, coming into view.
'Why-yes, John, did. Yon haven't

years and--and the man had such

into the safe refuge of tears.

contemptuously. "Why can't woman

Left alone, Mrs Benson cried little

remembered that she had intended to
wash the delicate bric-a-b brac that was
her pride and joy. To do this she must
get her dainty white apron and her dear
little new pan that she had bought of
the last peddler-here she sighed a lit
tie. She slipped off her rings, moved
out little table and left the room for
the necessary articles.
Little matters detained her and IL

Bauk Teller Arrested.

The town of Smyrna could not have been
more surprised by bolt of thunder from
clear sky than it was on Tuesday morning
last, when Uuited States Marshall, H. c. Ma
haffey of Wilmington, went there and placed
Obadiah c. Voshell, teller of the Smyrna
National Bank, under arrest, charged with
making false entries in the books Of the
bank to cover an apparent shortage of $4,000.
Mr.. Voshell is we'll known all oyer this stete
and comes from one of the best families of
Delaware He does not drink, and, so far
as known has 70 bad habits The story as
told in the columns Of the Every Evening
of Tuesday last was about as follows after be-
ing shorn of its dramatic details: The bank
examiner had had his suspicious for some
time concerning Voshell's movements, it is
SAID, and when he asked him to make out
a balance sheet of the finances not long
ago, the examiner was not surprised when
the paying-teller hesitsted and offered var
ious excuses for his failure to do so. At
last an examination was made Of the books,
aud then a sensation was caused by the
expose which followed
The result was examiner Stone repaired
to Wilmington and a warrant was issued
out of the United States court for Voshell's
arrest
The warrant charged the defendant with
''makiug certain false entries in the books
reports statements, with intent to deceive
the officers of the said association.
When arraigned before Commissioner
Smith, Voshell pleaded guilty to the charge
of making the false entries, but denied that
his culpability reached beyond the multi
latiou of the bank records. He declared he
had made mistakes aud to cover up these
he altered the records. He stoutly denied
having received a cent Of the institution
The prisoner was then held in $4,000 bail,
his father, John NJ. Voshell, becoming his
surety.
Before Voshell was taken from his home
this morning Marshal MahaHy closely ques-
ton him as to any disposition he might
have mrde of the misappropriated funds
which are said to be $1,000.
Vosheu stated that he never drank in his
life. and neighbors declare he is man Of
seemiugy temperate habits. He also denied
that he had lost the money at the gaming
table. which would seem to be the most
plausible manner in which so large amount
could be SC easily lost.
His home seems to be all that could be
desired aud his family relations are the
pleasantest He is a man 40 years old
and up to this time not a word has beer
said concerning his integrity, which was
apparently Of the best. His home is by nc
means luxuriously furnished. yet every
