fhe charge against fallenDeCk and the
Metcalfs IS that of conspiracy to defraud
the United States The company of which
Hallenbeck is the head aad contract with
the United States to furnish the postal
service with its money order blanks Nor
man Metcalf was employed as a clerk in
the Office of the WynkOop. Hallenbeck &
Crawford Company at a salary Of $50 a
week.
1t is alleged that a conspiracy existed be-
tween Hallenbeck and the Metcalfs in that
there was an agreement between them that
there should be no inspection of the forms
supplied by the company: that on account
of this agreement the forms were printed on
inferior paper; that only one side of them
was Autographed. while the contract called
for the lithographing of both Sides and that
by other devices the company was enabled
to save large sums of money at the expense
of the government.
While it Is not so stated in the indictment.
it is asserted by the Post Office authorities
that the government lost at least $50. 900 in
one year by this arrangement. 1t is also
asserted that there was an agreement
whereby the contracting company paid
young Metcalf 1-16 cents for each book of
forms shipped, and it Is stated that the
shipments for one year reached as high as
coo books.
The allegation is made that the older Met
calf secured the payment for the inferior
work supplied by the contractors.
The Other Charges.
The new charge against Machen is that Of
accepting a bride in connection with the
delivery Of badges worn by rural free de-
livery carriers. which were made by Chas.
J. Heller of Philadelphia.
There are two new Indictments against
Beavers. one Of them charging him with
accepting sos each on number of book
typewriting machines sold to the govern
ment by Scott Towers. and the other al
leging misconduct in the purchase of stamp
canceling machines from w. d. Doremus-
Towers is also indicted In connection with
the transaction with Beavers on the charge
of agreeing to pay Beavers $25 on each ma
chine. Doremus Is indicted for defrauding
the government In the sale OF his cancel
Ing machines.

A Prelude to the Marital Mss

Blakely Wharton came home early
expecting to lind his wife at the door
to give him a kiss. as was her daily
custom. He was disappointed Going
into her boudoir he threw himself on
a lounge for awhile. then concluded
that he would write a letter III the

Mrs. Wharton kept her papers and her

dressed it and set about hunting for a
stamp. In the effort, opening and
shutting tiny drawers punching here
and there, suddenly he was astonishca
TO see a drawer fly open from a place
where he had never known there was
a drawer. In the bottom We're several
papers. Taking one up, he read:

He glanced at tie next paper:
"Dearast--1 was frightened today at

reports about you. DO relieve my
anxiety as soon as possib!e-Your

The next had been addressed on the
back, but the name had been erased:
"Dearest--You say that you still love
me but that fate separates us for
ever. Is it possible that you can think
of marriage with another?--You Low
er?''
At this point Blallely began to de-
your the missiyes greedily and with
terrible anxiety. Some of them ha@
dates and other features to give a mes
ger informato about them, but he
was too eager to get the story to nc
tice anything except the facts stated.
The next note was postmarked, but to
this Blakely was ObliviOuS:
