BE Sent to n Sanitarium.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, June 1.-THE
grand jury, this afternoon, found an indict-
ment against Mabel l.. Burt, the former
Smith College student, on eleven counts for
the larceny of money and jewelry. She was
arraigned before Judge Pierce, and, on mo-
ton of counsel, waived the reading of the

ing her plea of guilty in the lower court.
Counsel asked for a continuance and for
moderate bail. Judge Pierce named $1,000
Mr.. Burt, the father of the girl, produced
sureties and. with his wife and daughter
left, accompanied by DR.. Mary j. Brewster

seemed quite nervous. but did not break
down. Her mother was in tears during the
proceedings.
In an interview Mr.. Burt said he would
return TO Bridgeton, n. j., and that he
woulu place his daughter in a sanitarium

parture of two young men from this city,
the police say there has been no action
taken looking TO further arrests in the case.
1t was also said that the Worcester police
had secured from one of the young men a
$50 ring, which he had admitted receiving
from Miss Burt and which has been iden-
titled since its return by a Smith College
student as her property.
The eleven counts in the indictment
against Miss Burt charge the larceny of
property to the approximate value of 5000.
The first count charges the lneft of a dia-
mond and ruby ring and a diamond ring.

said in a voice still tinged with the
brightness of her dream.
Happy thoughts" he said, as he
helped her to the ground.
Very happy ones" she answered,
smiling.
They did not permit her to stay very
long. Barbara was lying still, very
faint and weak from the shock of the
accident and the pain OF her leg. She
vas worrying and anxious about her
young mistress, and Dorothy fastened
to reassure her.

Just as well for you that I turned
up when / did, my dear" said Esther,
dryly; at might have been very awk-
ward for you TO be left alone long"
ooh, but Lord Aylmer was so kind"
Dorothy cried. "He not only took me
to the hospital to see Barbara and
brought me back again, but he has
actually gone off now to see his Wallets
wife, who is the very person to stay
with me till Barbara is able to come
home again."
"Yes, that is really very good Of
him." Esther admitted. But now, my
poor little excited p~ale-face, | am going
to make you a cup of tea. Show me
the way"
So Dorothy took her into Barbara's
neat little kitchen, and Miss Brand es-
tablished her cousin in a chair. while
she put the tea-things together and
made all ready. Then she carried the
tray into the drawing room and made
Dorothy sit in a big arm chair while
she waited upon her and gave her ev-
erything that she needed for her COM
fort.
Il suppose this Lord Aylmer is a
smart man-about-town sort Of person."
she remarked presently, as she slowly
stirred her own tea round and round.
"Oh, awfully DID," answered Dorothy

"Ah, well, it is a very good thing.
Really, the world isn't half SO bad as

dreamily. Well with a quick change
OF tone, and this Dick of yours-he
is perfection, of course?"

Il can't think what the master VIII

"The master! Why, he will be as sor-
ry as II / had broken my leg, or very
nearly" Dorothy cried. Now. dear,
here is the nurse looking at me with a
threatening eye, / must go. Good-oy'
my dearest old Barbara, and don't wor-
ry, because l shall have my new help
in tonight"
She stayed to ask a few questions OF
the nurse. chiefly about what things
Barbara would need, then they drove
quietly back to K~ensington.
For a little way Dorothy was silent.
Poor old Barbara" she burst out at
length. Il don't believe she was ever
i'll in all her life before; at least, ! never
knew her to be i'll, never"
"And you have known her long,

Lord Aylmer assumed an expression
of surprise, mingled with assent-he
had wonderful variety Of facial I'M
presentations, he could even assume
goodness on occasion. Comfort that
old lady is safe in st. Georges" he
said to himself, as he watched Doro-
thy's lovely mobile face.
She turned again TO him. How soon

afraid you judge me too kindly alto
gether. Then / will drop you at your
house and go and see this good woman
at once, come back and let you know
the result"
Yes, IL you will" said Dorothy.
He helped her to alight and saw her
safe in the house, then got into the
carriage again. "To Grosmont Road
he said.
Yes, m'lord," Charles replied.
Where to now" asked Barker, who
was getting tired and generally des-
perate.
"Grosmont Road"
"Oh, MY" muttered Barker. 81 wasn't
surprised when broken legs didn't put

'Arris don't put him OFF Grosmont

Meantime, Dorothy had gone in to
the entrance hall of Palace Mansions,
where the porter of the establishment
met her. "A lady for you, ma'am," he
said. Then there vas a pause, a rush,
and a glad cry Of "Oh, Esther! Esther..'

Raising Locomotive from Canal.

A locomotive recently ran OF a
bridge over the st. Quentine anal
near Paris, and fell into the water. Il
was found impossible TO raise the loco
motive, as the space was so confined,
so divers passed chains around it, and
these were attached to beams. The
load was then raised by means OF
screw supports, blocking being intro
duced as the work proceeded TO guard
against a possible breakdown. The To-
connective was lifted fourteen feet, so
that a s%and-ladeG barge could be run
underneath. The engine was then
lowered and taker away. Five days
were consumed In doing the work,

Il don't know London we'll at all"
Dorothy answered, "for | lived in the
country all my life until | was-mar-
ried."
There was a scarcely noticeable hest
tation before she uttered the word mar
ried, and Lord Aylmer interpreted it
in his own way.
IF you could trust me to find out
about it. / think l know just the very
person." he said. my Wallets wife she
is-an excellent cook and a very clever
capable servant in every way"
But would she Gomez"

"But to a little fat like mine, with
nobody to do anything but herself.

must be a frightful inconvenience, and
OF course it was my fault. If / hadn't
been there, the old lady wouldn't have
come to grief
You are too good" murmured Doro-
thy, gratefully.
She could not help wondering, as
they drove along through the mellow
autumn air, how it was that Dick had
so mistaken his uncle. 1t seemed to
her that he was all that was charming
and considerate-the sort of old gentle
man who does not seem old, although
his hair is white and he must have
lived years enough for the world to call
old. 1t was evident to her sweet and
simple soul that Dick had never really
got at his uncle's Utmost nature-which
was true, and all the better for Dick
that he hadn't. He could not, she ar
gued, be such a savage as Dick had al
ways made out, for why should he take
SO much trouble for an insignificant
stranger like herself, or for an old wo-
man like Barbara, even If his carriage
did happen to have knocked her down
and broken her leg? That had no
thing, or next to nothing, to do with
it--oh, it was plain to her that Dick
had never managed his uncle properly,
and very likely Lady Aylmer had never
managed him properly either.
So by the time they had reached the
hospital, Dorothy had thought herself
into quite a blissful frame of mind. She
had built up a wonderful castle in the
air, when Lord Aylmer should express
a wish, "Oh, my dear, / do wish that
you were my daughter!" when she
would throw off her disguise and say,
Il am the next thing to your daughter
"How?" why I'm Dicks wife,
She was so ~engrossed in her dream
that she did not notice that they had
reached their destination, until a
smooth voice at her elbow said, Now,
dear lady"
Somehow the tone Jared on her
dream, but her eyes were still radiant
as she turned them toward him. 81

Styles for the Winter.

The easiest and simplest way we
can suggest for cur readers to get a
good idea of the styles that will be
popular this winter is to buy copy
of The October Delineator, just on
sale at every news stand. The De-
Iineator for October foreshadows, by
means Of its New York, Paris and
London connections, those tendencies
of fashion which will certainly pre-
vail
In addition TO the fashion features
and practical dressmaking advice
that has made The Delineator fam
Gus, the October number is full Of
good general reading, most taste
fully illustrated under the Immediate
direction of the well-known artist,
William Martin Johnson. Mr.. John
sons work is known to lovers Of the
beautiful, by reason of the Garfield
edition of Ben Hur, as we'll as some
other books of large sale. Mr..
johnson believes in illustrations that
illustrate, rather than in pictures
that only ornament a page. The
whole October number of The De-
lineator is full of interest to men as
we'll as to women.
