then played u few test bars,
During one OF these intervals he
called 10 the girl, and said Here,
say, what's up with thjs piUno?"
"Ilow should EnoW?" snapped the
girl ITS not my business to keep 1t
in order"
After that the tuner asked no more
questions and In about nm hour con-
cluded his task and departed
anyone called, Mnria?" asked Mrs.
Morton when she returned,
"Only the Piano tuner that you sent
up" said Maria
Maria then explained herself nt

10 herself and said: "llow thoughtful

"Just like him, And II wanted tuning
badly"
But when Jack Inter denied having

elias anything been stolen?" asked
Mr., Morton sternly,
"Stolen!" exclaimed his wife. 20,

Just then there was another ring ut

Mr.. Morton and was shown into the
parlor.
Excuse me-" sOid the man, "but /

said Mr. Morton,

man. "Our tuner came here to-day 10

And when Mr., and Mrs. Morton came

HAVANA'S POSTMASTER
The Reasons for His Arrest Are
Given as Conspiracy.

HAVANA, May 1.-THE principal
charge against the Postmaster, E. w.
Thompson, who with w. H. Reeves,
deputy auditor of the island and Ed
ward Moya and Jorge Mascara, Cuban
clerks in the stamp department, was
arrested yesterday, will be that he en-
tered a conspiracy with Corydon Rich.
the clerk who has confessed knowl-
edge of many of the transactions and
will give evidence for the government
to shield c. F. w. Neeley, the arrested
financial agent of Posts. The prosecu-
ton says Thompson received vouchers
and ordered that the changes be made
in the books and accounts with the in
tention Of shielding Neeley.
Moya and Mascara admit selling
over 81 200 worth of an old issue of
stamps, through the windows, which
were not called for in the requisition.
Thompson says that though he order
ed the alteration of certain figures at
the request of Rich, still he did so
without knowing that they were of a
criminal nature. He thinks that he
might have been treated with more
consideration, either dismissed or re-
quested to resign.
Thompson's bail has been fixed at
$4,000 cash which is not yet forth
coming.
