8 hours, 7 minutes 1t is estimated
from the times made that these auto

THE LITTLE :.
LACE SMUGGLER
[Original.1

[Original]
Little Gretchen Lahmer of Brussels.
Belgium, was coming to America. She
was advised by business acquaint-
ance to put several hundred dollars
which she had saved beyond her pas
sage money into the beautiful lace
made in her city and carry it with her
to New York. If she could get it
through the custom house free of duty,
she would add considerably to her lit
tie capital She was informed that
nothing one wears is dutiable There
fore after purchasing some white and
black lace she set about decorating her
clothing with it in such fashion that it
would not likely be noticed by the Gus
tom house officials. With the black lace
she trimmed her mantle, putting on, Of
course, a profusion, while the white
was made into t1ounces on her dress be-
meath.
Gretchen crossed the ocean in the
sweet summer time, when it was de-
lightful to sit on deck and watch the
green waves. the gulls and the blue
heavens far ashore by day and the star
~ dome by night. Besides, the moon
was at the full and, beginning with the
twilight, rose later every evening.
Gretchen was alone, but young man,
an invalid, on the first day out sat in
his steamer chair near her and formed
her acquaintance Though the weather
was warm, he was invariably wrapped
in an ulster. He told Gretchen that he
had dropsy.
Gretchen, lonely herself, understood
more perfectly the feelings of this
young man, who was not only unat-
tended, but ill., She therefore devoted
herself to him. Every morning at 10
O'clock when the weather was fine-and
it was fine throughout the yage-she
would place the young mans chair for
him in a sheltered nook, cover him
with rugs, talk to him, read to him and
in every way in her power contribute
to his comfort. The invalid seemed pro-
foundry grateful for these attentions.
he would look into her eyes what was
more than gratitude. He regretted that
he could make no return for her atten-
ton except help to improve her Eng
lish, which was very imperfect. 1t is
but natural that with the language of
love passing between, for Gretchen
was becoming attached to her charge,
they should get on rapidly with mere
commonplace expressions. The young
man had had a good education in the
public schools and seemed quite ambi-
tious to succeed in life. This made
Gretchen's heart bleed for him. She
would wrap his ulster more closely
about him, and he would look up with
that grateful, languid smile so touch
ing in an invalid.
When they approached New York,
Gretchen began to be worried about
her lace. She craved sympathy and
confided her secret to her friend. He
treasured her by telling her that if she
would go ashore with him he would
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1903-02-04

look out Tor some or the omc1aIs whom
he knew and each try to distract their
attention from her or, if they noticed
her superduous fnery, persuade them
to let her 60 unmolested. She gladly
accepted his offer and when the ship
was docked supported him, still wrap
ped in his ulster, down the gangplank.
'sWait here moment y he said, land
I will see if can find friend among
these customs officers
The invalid approached an inspector
and said to him:
''What is there in it for me if put
you on to a woman who is smuggling
lace?"
The officer arranged that he should
receive the value of such information,
and the two approached Gretchen.
''There she isl said the invalid, and
the officer forthwith turned poor Gret-
chen over to a woman who searched
her thoroughly and confiscated every
yard Of her precious lace. This was
nothing to Gretchen compared with the
shock the mans treachery caused her.
She left the dock weeping. But it was
not for her little savings. 1t was for
the image she had set up in her heart,
which had been so roughly broken.
The next day Gretchen received
card at her boarding house with the
name upon it of "Charles Turner Whit
man." She had never heard of such
person and thought there must be some
mistake. However, she went down
xr-1,o oh IN
there but the invalid, but an invalid no
longer. His chalky complexion had
become ruddy, his step was quick and
strong, his whole appearance CHEEKY.
AS soon as Gretchen saw him she turn
ed to leave the room, but he caught
her and brought her back.
"Wait, little sweetheart, till explain.
When we went ashore yesterday 1 had
on me a small fortune in lace. My legs,
body and arms were wrapped with it.
If succeeded in getting it in without
confscation, it would be the last Of
several such efforts and complete the
amount / determined to make before
disseminating a practice which l cor
daily detest. No surer way of passing
the officials unsupported could be de-
vised than directing their attention to
some one else. Your few yards were
nothing to the hundreds I had on me.
You were kind to me on the trip, and
you have been the means of my COM
pleting my work undiscovered. Share
my snug fortune with me. Be my wife,
and together we will enter upon ca
reer less risky and discreditable than
smuggling"
It was some time before Gretchen
could recover from the shock she had
received. Then she smilingly agreed to
take the matter into consideration. Ev-
idence was forthcoming that there was
nothing against her lover but the sew
eral smuggling trips referred to, and
she at last consented to marry him.
With the proceeds of his trips abroad
they set up a small shop and lived
happily. GLADYS HARRINGTON.

 Boise, Ida, has fully organized sui eide club, says the New York World. That it is ready for business and has already transacted business is shown by the fact that at least three of it's members have passed off'' by the slli- eide route within period of as many months.
 The fact of the existence of the or ganization became known to the police in an investigation into the death of Grace Ashton, its latest victim. She died from morphine on third attempt, both of the previous attempts having been frustrated through the reasonable discovery of friends.
 Another young woman friend of Miss Ashton attempted suicide by talk ing poison, but recovered, and it was through her that the existence of the club was made known. The club is regularly organized, with a strong membership, all young women, and holds meetings at regular intervals.

Returning of Caribou to Maine.

It's good news for the sportsmen that c. c. Garland, managing director of the Debsconeag Fish and Game club, brings to Bangor, Me, for he says that deer and moose throughout the great game country are to be seen in even greater abundance than last year. "Ev- cry one I've seen says game is plen- tiful," said Mr. Garland to a Bangor Commercial reporter, land, so far as my section of the country is concerned, can testify that both deer and moose are to be seen in greater numbers than year ago. We've seen an occasional caribou, too, and it looks as if these animals are coming back to Maine aft CT having deserted us for the wilds of Canada. The other day we ran across curiosity while ascending Katahdin. It was black caribou, just as black as my hat. We found tracks which showed that caribou have been haunt ing Katahdin during the summer.'

 I. Roussillon seized the first oppor- lity to resume his successful romano and presently in the midst of the al began to tell Father Beret about at he had seen in Quebec.
 By the way" he said, with expan- e casualness in his voice, 'I called on your old time friend and coad- or, Father Sebastian, while up re. A noble old man. He sent you thousand good messages. Was ghtily delighted when I told him v happy and hale you have always

 Now the extraordinary feature of the $ituation was that Father Beret had xnown positively for nearly five years that Father Sebastian was dead and buried.
 "Ah, yes," M. Roussillon continued, pouring the claret with one hand and making pious gesture with the other. The dear old man loves you and prays For you. His voice quavers whenever he speaks of you"
 Doubtless he made his old joke to Iyou about the birthmark on my shoul- |der," said Father Beret after a mo- |ment of apparently thoughtful silence. F'He may have said something about it in playful way, eh?'
 ''True, true; why, yes, he surely men tioned the same assented M. Rous- sillon, his face assuming an expression of confused memory. It was some thing sly and humorous, mind, but 1t just escapes my recollection. A right jolly old boy is Father Sebastian. In deed very amusing at times.

 Rene's brown face flushed to the tenn ples, partly with anger, partly with the shock of mingled surprise and fear. He was guilty, and the guilt showed in his eyes and paralyzed his tongue, so that he sat there before Alice with his under jaw sagging ludicrously.
 Don't you rather think, M. Rene de Ronville," she presently added in a calm, advisory tone, ''that you had better quit trying to say such foolish things to me and just be my very good friend?
