Postmaster General.
Safe Was Looted.

Mrs. Tyner came to the office of the
assistant attorney general on the fifth
floor of h postoffice building 1t 3.45
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and re-
NAMED there exactly an hour. When
she arrived, Acting Assistant Attorney
General Christiancy, who has had
charge of the Office for months past in
the absence of General Tyner, who has
been in Door health for a long period,
was in the Office. The clerks were at
their desks. Mrs. Tyner passed from
the public room into the private office
and closed the door behind her. Being
alone in the Office, she stepped to the
Dol opening into the public corridor
and by previous arrangement admitted
Mrs. Barrett, mother of Harrison j.
Barrett, former law clerk of the post
office department. and c. G.. Hammer,
a safe expert. Mr.. Christiancy re-
ported the presence in the office of
Mrs. Tyner to two inspectors who We're
investigating cases connected with the
fact of Mrs. Tyner's appearance in the
office to Postmaster General Payne. The
inspectors reported the matter to their
superior officer, Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow. Mr.. BristoW
asked authority to have Mrs. Tyner
elected from the office. The authority
came too late. When the inspector
returned Mrs. Tyner had left. The
safe on being examined was found to
be empty. The affair created much ex-
element among the investigating Off
Gals, but the news was concealed care
fully from the public. Two inspectors
We're despatched to the Tyner residence
to recover the papers. Mrs. Tyner re-
fused to give them up, saying she was
acting under The instruction of her
husband. She told the inspectors, so
they reported, that they had no right to
the papers, as Mr.. Tyner was still as
sistant attorney general and, moreover,
insisted that the papers were all of a
private character. The inspectors re-
ported hat Mrs. Tyner declared the

The eyes of the two men met-it was
the first real meeting, though there had
been many looks interchanged-and
Parr mumbled as if the sentiment We're
dragged out of him:
'Made me say 1t, too, she did. Poor
Murphy"
He tried to qualify the remark with
a laugh, but Murphy turned abruptly
from him to lean an arm against the
wall, and his forehead upon it, with a
choked 'Thank you, officer"

gently this time, as If he We're leaving

ing, l fear, multiplied vocabulary of
oaths on the tablet within. Human
punishment unless meted out exactly
on the divine pattern is apt to drive in
rather than drive out evil.
The sky, which had been gloomy, had
just vouchsafed q pale smile of sun
light when an unexpected incident oc-
Cured. Within the liberties of that
prison, which sounds anomalous, one
or two married warders We're accom-
modated, among them Parr. There was
of course no communication whatever
between the disciplinary and the do
mestic quarters. Nevertheless as Muir
ply for the hundredth time put down
and lifted up his shot an apparition
appeared as improbable in that scene
of discipline as look of human BROTH
erhood or a gentle word admitting pos
sible community of guilt. Murphy for
got the usual ache in his back and his
head, which a recent experience of
bread and water diet had heightened,
as the thing-this was exactly how he
expressed it in his own n1ind-ffutter-
ed down. 1t came, in fact, from the
married warden's quarters alluded to
and had no right whatever near the
wild beast show.
1t was little girl. She stood in q
sort of butterfly attitude just alighted,
as it We're, poised on the very points Of
her small feet, with her hands clasped,
a halo of silvery faXen hair waving
about her pale face in the breeze of her
own intense astonishment, her big sea
blue eyes, bigger even than nature had
made them, riyeted on the strange,
formal game at ball which the players
seemed to enjoy so little. She was not
exactly pretty, having a pinched look
and eyes all too wide, as if they ex-
plored a wider world than this. Her
head, on its slender flower stem of q
throat, was drawn just little aside by
lilac scar. Her arms were very thin.
But, despite this and an ugly frock of
violent blue, every dull eye that caught
vision of her turned soft for, at any
rate, a second.
+ Some were quite capable of brutality
originally and had become more so
while there, because the penal machine
necessarily grinds harder on the under
side. l am not sure of their reception
of an angel. Such a visitor, as belong
ing to the side of principalities and
powers, might have inspired opposition,
but this was different This miniature
phantom Of delight had never been in
prison before, having resided, for the
benefit of her health, with a tender
hearted old granny in the country.
The little thing stood poised, glancing
from one joyless face to the other, with
varying mirth and gravity, like a fairy
godmother uncertain where to bestoW
her favors. Then suddenly, just as
Murphy, with beads of perspiration
above heavier frown than usual and
grunt like resentful beast of bur-
den, lifted his shot, she fitted forward
and made winged dart at him. She
laid her tiny white shells of hands over
his upon the big black ball, with an un-
certain crow. There was a second &
pause of amazement, during which the
whole penal administration was actu-
ally arrested. Then the experimenting

claim on his attention, drew long
breath and looked up, and, 10! there
was a request on PARIS lips. He was
visibly, actually, asking G 40 for some
thing. He even stammered, feeling a
cession of dignity, ,sthough he watched
Murphy with assumed Indifference, as
if the matter We're a trif1e because if
the latter, remembering past things,
had refused the position would have
been unbearably humiliating.
"You was sayin' somethin'?" he haz-
arded. Thus he tactfully helped his of
ficer out.
"Well, you might send her IA bit o.
nonsense in return. Children's fools,
you know"
Murphy gaped hideously. He was not
beautiful in moments of emotion. He
thought and thought. Much eloquence,
initiative and original, passed through
his mind, but he knew his man and, be-
sides, had a sincere sense of the gulf
