CHAPTER Xviii.

When Capt Kelly found himself out
side the hitherto always open door
which gave entrance into the hall
round which the widely advertised
"palatial offices" of Mr.. Jones clus-
tered he found that door closed and
the following notice affixed to it;
offices closed during absence of MIR.

business"
The poor old man staggered for a
moment, then rung the bell vehement
ly. though the conviction had pierced
his consciousness like poisoned
shaft that It was futile to do SO.
Everything that he could do indeed

the notice that II was lying one.
He knew that the offices were not
closed temporarily but permautly, as
far as Mr. Jones was concerned And
he knew that he was ruined, ruined ir-

Not only had the suaye, smooth

all its priyations and perils would be
the portion he loved SO wen. But

LITTLE ACTS OF KINDNESS.

The sunshine of life is made up of
little things-of beams that are bright
at all times; from the nursery to the
playground, from school and college
to the lodge room there is always a
place for little acts of kindness that
cost nothing, but are worth more than
gold or precious jewels. To give up
something where the giving will create
happiness, to yield where persistence
chafes and frets others, to go a little
around rather than run against an
other-all means true brotherly love.
To take an i'll word or cross look quiet
ly rather than resent and return it are
the true fraternal ways-the ways OF
the sincere friend; it often keeps away
the angry storm, and sunshine and
harmony is secured to you and to your
lodge by it.
The infant is frightened by black
look and cries at a cross word, while 1t
crows and laughs back at your smile;
and we are all infants; true, grown up,
but children still in many ways, pnd it
is so cheap and easy TO be pleasant and
courteous. There are clouds enough
our make up and in our daily life
{ he cares of business, the strain of our
u,'ual occupation, perchance sickness
in the household, and all the darkened
so rrows that beset humanity. Why
not, then, determine to be cheerful
upon entering your lodge, and be
pleasant to your friends. Scatter sun
shine every where, and the sweet spirit
OF harmony will reign, union and
strength will prevail, and you will be
proud to belong to such a happy lodge.
Be pleasant and courteous TO the
newcomer, be polite and deferential to
the elders-be polite to everyone and
see how much better you will feel by
making others feel pleasant and happy,
and by so doing illustrate true fratern

A BAD GANG
Judge Smith Delivers Himself Of q
Lecture to a Group of Boys

Five youngsters lined up in depart
ment one yesterday to enter their plea
to the charge of burglary. Their nance
were Carl Bowen, Charlee' Bothio, Os-
car Raasch, Fritz Mingarborg and Eddie
Mcdonald. All of them being under age,
their cases would have been summaril,'
dealt with, probably, but Detective
Goodman explained to the court that
the boys had been in trouble before and
were a nuisance in the neighborhood
where they lived.
Judge Smith read the boys the riot act
by telling them he had no sympathy for
young fellows who terrorized neigh
borhood by their escapades and made
themselves nuisance generally. He
told them not to flatter themselves that
they would be sent to Whittier and have
a good time in camp at Catalina. He
would permit them to go on their own
recognizance, but if any one of them got
into further trouble sentence would be
passed for the present offense. and IL
would be to lone they would be cent
where iron bars and stone walls would
keep their exuberant spirits within
bounds.
The boys marched out in Indian file
looking somewhat sobered by the lee
ture they had received.

A WILDCAT
Swapping Over $4,000 for the Paltry
Sum of $500

Cornelia ]. Kiehl has instituted suit
against Delos w Eldred to recover
$4,000, and the manner in which she per-
mitted herself to be deluded would seem
to indicate most trustful disposition.
The plaintiff owned lots l and 2, block
d, in the Sherman tract, and the defend
ant owned a tract of land in Chase coun-
ty, Kansas. An exchange was arranged
on the basis that the Kansas land was
worth $4,000. The plaintiff accepted all
the presentations made by the defend
ant as true, and when the deal was finally
consummated she discovered she had
decided away property claimed to be
worth about $4,000 for tract of land
worth only 5000. Upon discovering what
a wild cat proposition she had stun bled
against the plaintiff at once reconveyed
the Kansas land to Eldred and demanded
that he reconvey her property back
also. But he refused and, as a matter of
fact, he had disposed of it, hence the
present suit.

Goodman, in suit Of w. Sullivan
against Baldwin. and on the order of
court in that cause the money was paid
into court.
The court holds that Goodman had no
authority from his principal to take the
money and was rot authorized by law to
take the money from Baldwine person.
But Chief Glass cannot be held for this
unauthorized act of his agent. When
Goodman took the money from Baldwin
the latter had a cause of action against
Goodman Immediately.
Baldwin. Judge York holds, had an
action in trespass or conversion, but he
did not attempt to transfer either of
theee causes of action to plaintiff, and
plaintiff has not claimed the right t.
maintain an action upon either of these
causes. The wrong remedy was pursued
and in that form of action plaintiff could
not recover.

on Earth

To Be Well Than All the Rest Of the Fun
Some physicians say that all nervous
disorders arise from a disordered stom-
ach, and that even the peculiar diseases
of females are directly traceable to an
unbalanced, nervous system, caused
by stomach troubles.
The stomach may be suffering, but will
not show it there; frequently the distress
will be telegraphed over the nerves to
the head, eyes, back or abdomen.
Medicines are not so much needed as
good common sense in eating and drink
ing. Coffee is one of the most prolific
causes Of trouble with the stomach
principally because people continue to
use it when they are feeling bad, not
knowing that the poisonous alkaloids OF
coffee directly check digestion and at
tack the liver.
A dismissal of coffee for week or ten
days will show many sufferers the cause
Of their troubles, and while they won't
get we'll in that time, the Improvement
in health will open their eyes. Postum
the health coffee, made at Battle Creek
Mich, can be used by those who are
troubled with coffee, and it agrees per-
fectly with the weakest stomach, while
the pure food elements of the grains O!
which it is made will nourish and fatten
the body. Return to natural living and
get well.

and returned it the same night. HI
brought back with him several ne ga tive
and witness saw them developed. Whel
lproperly developed, he looked at them
and prints were taken from them. The,
were pictures of Dora and her married
sister After the present trouble the
prints and negatives were destroyed
Witness then described the positions
of Mrs. Vannieuwenhuyser and Dora IL
the pictures. which were of the most sug
gestive and indecent character.
Il heard some glass breaking ouaside
one day." said witness, land when
lwent out saw Schnabel and asked him
what he was doing. He said he was
breaking up the pictures, and that he
was not going to have such things around
the place now"
That ended the witness direct testi-
mony. Mr.. Williams had repeatedly in
terposed objections and in other ways
tried to disturb the witness in telling
about the photographs Mr.. Brown, tn
employer of the witness and Schnabel,
had seen the pictures, and the assistant
district attorney wanted to know who
else had seen or heard about them. He
quiet and would scarcely believe that the
witness had not talked about the matter
to all his chums and neighborhood ac-
quaintances.
Schnabel was the witness for the
prosecution who stated, among othes
things, that he saw Dora return the BIZ
cycle to Maxim on January 5th, just at
dark, and Burns was put upon the wit.
l.
In answer to an interrogatory, wit
ness stated that Schnabel told him that
Dora was enceinte, and that Eugene
Abbott was the cause of it, and that she
didn't know what to do. Reverting to
January 5th, witness stated that after
leaving work at o'clock he and Selma
bel took about Is or 20 minutes to eat
supper at the Mkado restaurant CT
Commercial street, and then went home.
It was dark, and they first lit the lamp.
To the best of his recollection, Schnabei
changed his clothes and went out but
he would not be certain about the mat
ter.
In the course of examination Mr.. WILL |
Jams contrived to elicit the admission
from the witness that he had made a |
sworn statement to counsel for the de-
fense. That was too good an opportuni- |
ty to be lost; counsel demanded the |
statement Defending counsel urged |
that the matter of the statement was in |
no way pertinent or relevant to the case
at bar. Such opposition, however, only |
appeared to whet the ardor of the as
sistant district attorney and he insisted |
that it be produced
Mr.. Davis then intimated that if coun-
sci demanded it and would read it to |
the jury they would. of course. produce
it. Mr.. Williams took the bait, the state
ment was produced, and he read it to
the jury. He had not gone far, however
before he discovered that it was more
or less circumstantially detailed state
ment of the frolics of Dora Green with
various men not concerned in the pres
ent case, and other matter quite irrele-
want but rejecting upon the character
of the prosecutriX. Mr. Williams moved
that the statement. taken down in short
hand, be stricken out, and it was so or
dered. but nevertheless the jury had
heard it read.
