heads refused to make the washington
detectives story public, but equally Of
course it leaked out in that exclusive
set in which the young girl moved.
The story went from mouth to mouth,
from house to house. Pretty Polly
Smith was suspected. In fact it is said
that some malicious person even went 30
far as to accuse the girl
CRUSHED BY THE SCANDAL
Then there came a change over "Polly"
Smith. She was no longer the light
She was helpless. She was innocent,
but the blow aimed at her had crushed
her. Invitations came in fewer numbers,
and those that did come were not ac-
cepted. The girl got paler and paler. She
was seldom seen outside her own home.
Her cheeks became sunken; her eyes so
bright and laughing, formerly, were red
from constant weeping; she never smiled,
and her sensitive nature made her i'm
agine that the whole world suspected her
of crime Of which she was innocent.
Miss Smiths brother-in-law Is Gov.
Gen. Wood, Of Cuba. 1t was thought
that a change of scene and climate
would help the girl forget the cruel COS
sip that so sorely wounded her. So Miss
Smith was sent to Cuba to be with her
sister. Mrs. Wood. Cuban climate and
the change of scenes did not have the
beneficial effect expected
The girl tried bravely to overcome the
constant fear that she was everywhere
pointed at as thief. She tried to meet
people as she had done before, but it
was no use. She became SO weakened in

So she settled down to a life Of misery,
literally eating her own heart.&It was
seen by the Woods that the girl would

devised to take her mind from the great
wrong that had been done her.
Nearly year passed before the mys-
terry was partially cleared up by finding
the settings of the diamonds in a Penn
sylVania avenue shop in Washington,
where they had been taken undoubtedly
by the real thief No one knows to this
day exactly how, when or by whom the
jewels were purloined. The discovery Of
them came to late. An irreparable In
jury had been done to the young girl,
without the slightest fault of her host,
hostess or the detectives.
So ~shington accepted the finding of
the jewels in disinterested sort of way.
Washington had almost forgotten the ac-
cusation made against Polly" Smith by
this time, In the freshness of other gossip
on which Washington feeds, but ''Pol-
ly" Smith had not forgotten.
COULD NOT FORGET.
She came home from Cuba Immediately
after the jewels had been found, and no
doubt could have taken her own place
in society had she been able to forget,
but she was not of the forgetting kind.
She continued unhappy, never speaking
unless she was spoken to, growing thin
ner and less like her former self every
day. Society had all but killed her by
its love of gossip.
1t was when her family had almost dis
paired of ever making her well and hap
by again that the trip to China was pro-
posed. The Congers were close to the

left for China with the expressed purpose
of staying there always. In China she
could al least be among people who
would not gossip. What if they were
heathens? What If they did kill her.
as they perhaps have done? They would
at least make her misery short-lived
So Polly Smith went to China. She
was pitiful-looking little thing when
she left Washington, the only home she
had ever known, where she had done
so much to make happy the lives of
others.
1t Is said that it was Miss Smiths pur-
pose to eventually be a missionary in
China. She could never return to Wash
ington. 1t was urged upon her that
Washington had already forgotten the
accusations made against her and was
only too ready to right the wrong. The
wrong, however, was too great to her
thinking to ever be righted and she
chose to go from her home forever.
How Polly Smith met her death has
not been made known as yet, but no
matter how she died, death was sweet
to her. There may be those in Wash
tngton today who suffer pang for the
| girl whom they sent to her death. None
can deny that the calumny they helped
to give breath and life to made her a
martyr.

Mr.. Sweet is proud. as he has reason
to be, of the work turned out by his me-

fled him.

the visitor. I'm ready to begin at any

and the foreman awaiting orders with a

peacock with the fine feathers. I'll feed
for you myself. and before you finish
maybe you won't feel so much like boast,

Mr.. Sweet stripped off his coat, vest
and collar, and opened the door leading
to the rolling mill. The stranger drew
off his kid gloves, stopped on the way to
turn up his trousers, and when they ar
rived at the machine hammer set his
tall hat containing his gloves upon a
convenient projection.

Sweet to a hammer gang, who were en-
gagged upon a piece Of difficult work

Now, there wasn't q Zimmerman in the

work faster than he ever worked before.

white-hot metal snapped and sizzled
under the trip hammer.

William A. Sweet, the veteran steel
manufacturer of this city, who has
worldwide reputation as steel expert,
is known almost as widely as a man Of
brusque manner and many idiosyncrasies
On short acquaintance he has often been
regarded as an ogre by employees, but
who, continuing long in his services, have
come to know him as their best friend
Two things Mr.. Sweet will not tolerate
in men or machines about his manufac-
tory are incompetency and inefficiency.
If man in his employ shirks his work
or does it badly, heaven help that man!
If he is faithful to his task and performs
the work assigned to him with intelli-
gence and to the best of his ability, he
may be sure of a friend In the head of
the concern. and Of employment as long
as there is work to be done. But lazi-
ness and stupidity are things William A.
Sweet will not tolerate.
This glimpse of the character of the
man is requisite to the full appreciation
of a story that Mr.. Sweets friends are
telling at the club.
Some time ago Mr.. Sweet inserted In
the newspapers an advertisement which
read something like this:
