manner.
Mr.. kenake declared that he knew
nothing whatever about this side of
the proposition; that he had nothing
to do with the civil service examina-
ton and that some one higher than
he could better answer such questions.
District Attorney Dunno at first OBJ

He covered the case thoroughly and
concisely in stating his reasons for
making the motion. He said that the
package was not mailable matter,
since it had not been properly pre-
pared for the mail: ii had not been
even tied up before it came into Sa-
bates hands: il had not been stamp
ed and it had been taken by Sabate
when he was off duty and when he
had no right TO accept it frpm Mr..
Walker and when Mr.. Walker had no
right to ask him to go to his house
and get it for the mail.
Mr.. Gill quoted many authorities in
the matter and drew attention to the
fact that here vas nohing in the
actions of Sabate that would indicate
that he had in any way detained mail

sisted that, even ii the pack age as it
then was. was not mailable matter.

mail. Mr.. Dunno quoted from the

Ono Of the SuItan's Accorr plishcd Girls.
The pupils of fashionable boardi 6
house in the enyirons of Paris have
been very much puzzled by the pres
ence in private pavilion at one end
of the grounds Of a beautiful girl,
whom they only saw at rare intervals.
She was guarded by a tall, black man
and two fat women, who, when they
perceived any one approaching the
pavilion, eagerly hid their charge from
view. The woman principal Of the
establishment used to spend two
hours every morning in the mysterious
retreat, while in the afternoon various
masters succeeded one another.
It seems that the girl is one Of the
numerous daughters Of Abdul Hamid,
Sultan of Turkey, who has taken it
into his head to make one Of them, at
least, acquainted with Western ideas.
His courage did not go so far, how
ever, as to let the child be free among
girls of her own age, and most likely
she will go back to Constantinople a
total failure and an unhappy creature.

Her Way of Getting Clothes.

One woman I know deliberately
gives up about q fortnight to the
setting in order Of her wardrobe each
spring and autumn, refusing all en-
gagements during that sacred period,
and wholly giving herself up for the
time being to the hot pursuit of
clothes. Needless to say, her dress
maker is always forewarned and is
ready for the invader, and so manages
to get oil the fittings into the fort
night. But, candidly, I don't know
how It would work out If many others
were at the same game; should think
It would at least mean the death of
the dressmaker. However, the plan
seems to work admirably for one; my
friend goes through her season as If
dressmakers did not exist, and always
has the right frock ready. She Is
both rich and clever, I may remark,
and am inclined to think it is only
rich and clever woman who can
carry out such q systen-one for
whom the dressmaker will set others
interests aside. At the same time I
often wonder the system has not more
followers, for there are numbers Of
very wealthy women in London to
whom, IN immunity during the season
from the eternal torment Of the dress
maker would mean very great deal.

agreed, trying to remember the play
in question. Something in her voice
made Stuart look curiously at her, but
only the side of a pale cheek was
turned toward him. Something's up"
he thought. 81 won't bother her WITH
football jargon-she's tired. Funny
though" he considered, as he put her
abroad the car for the return trlp'
she's such a girl for her wheel and any
sport, I shouldn't think mornings
shopping could do her up"
BY the time the car reached their
train, Stuart had talked off his enthus-'
iasm over the game with the crowd on
the car, and was ready to give his
cousin his serious attention. AS the
train drew out of the dark station into
the western sunlight he observed that
Amy's eyes were full of tears. He
bought an afternoon paper of the train
boy, and unfolding it held widespread,
affecting to. read as he carefully
screened his companion from observa-
tion.. After q. time he asked gently:
"Is it-er-anything could help about
Amy?"
The answer was a genuine little soh
which Stuart fervently hoped nobody
heard. Presently a trcmulous voice
murmured, 20 Stuart, you won't under
stand, but / must tell. I've been so
foolish and SO extravagant. L
Fire away" whispered Stuart, en-
couragingly, but it was some time be-
fore she could speak. The train was
approaching Stuart's suburban station
before he had the whole story iaen
he had to talk fast.

80 Stuart" whispered Amy, crate
fully, "you are so good! But please
please don't let the girls take then
unless they truly want them. Oh,
hope he won't hurt that hat" she
breathed, a moment later, smiling
through her tears, as Stuart waved the
frafl bandbox at her, from the bacl

by two pretty girls.
