FAD BECAME A MANIA.
Tempted ny Harvard book Plates, q
Doctor Turned Thief.

II would seem from the experience
Of the E0rvOrd college library that
book plate collecting may sometimes
develop into a dangerous and expen.
piye mania. A few years ago the Har.
ward library found that the engraved
labels which II pastes ON the Inside Of
the covers OF lts books as marks Of lts
ownership were disappearing from
some OF the less used volumes, The
older book plates II appears, are high.
iy priced by collectors and some OF
them are particularly valuable Tor their
artistic merit as well as Tor interesting
associations with early book collect
lng IN this country, These were natu.

Detectives took the mntter In hand,
and the uireader was discovered with
full evidence or his guilt upon him,
He confessed TO stealing the llbrary's
property aud 10 having Il in his pos.
session by the time the matter reach
ed the courts the greater part OF the
book plates had been restored, the thief
having settled satisfactorily with the
persons to whom he had sold or given
them, aud, as the prisoner had repaid
the expense 20 which the library had
been put. the college consented TO leave
the matter Of sentence with the court,

pleasant to have the ability Of our an.

When he steps out of literature and ac-
lively engages In an important work
of destruction, he loses some of the air
of reserved wisdom. and his solemn
dignity Is less obvious; but IL Is well
TO have the fact illustrated that the
contemplative life may have an In.
tenscly practical side when occasion
demands. The mOping owl complain.

CHAPTER w,

There was no more question OF friend
ship between them; that was forgotten.
Sir Hubert was able to smile at himself
when he remembered how cautiously he
had made all his advances under the
cover OF friendship. Nothing could have
been more successful. The girl had lost
all her dainty, pretty shyness.. she was
quite at her ease with him; she had lost
all her nervous constraint aud indiffer-
ence. With eloquence he had persuaded
her that she was doing no wrong In
keeping these clandestine meetings Sc
cret from her friends, but that she was
doing something brave and heroic, tram
ping the prejudice Of the world under
foot. So, day after day, the love be-
tween them grew deeper and dearer, day
after day the girls face grew more aud
more lovely, until Sir Hubert, accus-
toned as he was to the fairest faces In
Europe, was daxxled by her beauty.
