Then came reports Of money being
taken from letters passing through our
post Office. The excitement died out.
and 1t was admitted that there might
have been some mistake. Meanwhile
Clarence Trevor was advanced and oc-
cupIed a private Office. One day l
went to this Office TO ask a question
concerning my department. There was
no one in the room. On the table lay
a letter and its envelope The latter
had been torn open, and the former had
been taken out. On the desk also was
a twenty dollar bill. The envelope was
not addressed to Trevor, nor did the
letter pertain to him in any way.
l trembled Clarence Trevor, the
man | secretly worshiped, was a thief.
But what could have induced him to
leave the evidence of his guilt in this
exposed position? / heard a step in the

WALL PAPER FASHIONS
Many Novelties to Be Seen IN
Styles For 1904.
STRIKING DESIGNS AND ooLoBIEes

One shows Perspective Effect Of
waIIinR Roses Behind Lattieeworx.
Another Represents a Canadian
Forest Of spruce Trees-A special
Baseball Paper Being sIanufac-
tured.
Ever since fashion invaded the realm
OF wall paper several years ago and
decreed that the covering Of ones walls
should change almost with the sea-
sons the shop windows in New York
have shown at half yearly intervals
the strange and new wall paper con-
ceits offered By enterprising manufac-
turers, says the New York Evening
World.
Already the styles for 1904 have be
gun to make their appearance, and
enough have been shown to prove that
this year the expert designers have
permitted their fancy the fullest range
and that New York houses next sea
son will be fairly bewildering In the
strange designs and colorings of their
walls.
Perhaps the most remarkable novel;
ty is the perspective" wall paper, a
combination of trailing roses and unre-
lieYed latticework so arranged on each
of the four sides of the room as to
produce the effect of long vista. This
design, though pretty, would be apt to
produce an effect of mental bewilder-
ment If looked at too long. A simpler
and more beautiful effect Is that which
combines a dado made to initiate nat
ural wood and crown of tall ever
green's, which produce the illusion Of q
dense Canadian forest of spruce trees.
The natural wood papers, reproduced
from long planks Of the real wood, are
especially good in library and dining
room decoration. Another design has
the dado Of bIrdseye maple and a
crown showing an elaborate aquatic
scene, in which sailing vessels, wind
mills and long lines of coast are effec-
lively combined, with the CLEAN Of red
roofs in the distance.
The sporting papers, introduced for
the first time last year, show a new
design portraying a gay coaching par
ty winding down dense, leafy road
way. Golf, tennis and pingpong pa
pers are notable among this collection,
and Buffalo firm Is getting out a spe-
cial baseball paper SO that enthusiastic
fans viii hereafter be able to have
their walls covered with portraits Of
their favorite players. Needless to
say, these exceedingly novel papers
are used chiefly for dens and club
rooms, and more conventional designs
still obtain for the drawing room and
| the boudoir.
Among the less freaky novelties is
one patterned after design used in
the decoration Of the Wadsworth coun-
try seat in Genesee valley, New York
in which seventeen different colors
were used. The design originated IN
France, but the foreign manufacturers
refused to reproduce it when called
upon, as many Of the seventeen eolors
used had to be painted in by hand. A
piece Of the paper reached the hands
Of a New York manufacturer, who sue
cessfully reproduced it. thus reaching
the high water mark of color reproduc-
ton by machinery.
Very expensive are the paper imita-
tons of hand fooled leather, which are
late novelties for library decoration.

Late Hrttish Ambassad0r's Novel
Presentation to Hollands Queen.
The history Of the late Sir Michael
Henry Herbert. British ambassador To
the United States. was not without It's
share Of adventure, says the Philadel-
phia Press. Once, while in Holland.
he was cut walking near the royal
country seat when he was startled By
a furious beating Of hoofs not far be-
hind him. Looking around he saw a
runaway horse attached to a heavy
old fashioned pleasure wagon. There
was no one In the vehicle. and Mr..
Herbert was debating with himself
whether or not he should make an at
tempt to stop the plunging horse when
all doubts OF action were dlspelIed by
the sudden appearance around a sharp
corner Of young girl in white. She
stood apparently fascinated by the run
away, which was bearing directly
down upon her Mr. Herbert made a
leap for the horses head. For awhile
it was a question whether or not he
would be able to hold the brute down,
but II was only a moment. Then he
had him well in hand and forced him
TO the other side Of the road, The dip
lomat was just about to proceed when
he noticed that the girl In white was
still standing where he first observed
her. but now there were several ladies'
with her. One Of these approached
and said in English:
THE princess begs that I convey her
thanks and requests the gentleman's
name"
''What princess?" said Mr.. Herbert.
''The Princess Wilhelmfna."
In violation Of all court rules and eti-
quette a presentation was offered then
and there, and the incident, 1t may well
be imagined, did not make any more
difficult Mr. Herberts stay at The
Hague.
