After all, was there anyone else?
Could Lester have made her suffer so
much had he really loved her? For one
brief moment she almost thought of
accepting Bradshaw's offer. He was
kind and honest and chivalrous, bearing
the hallmark of true manhood no less
clearly than did the lover who had dis
carded her And it would be an easy
way of giving him the inheritance that
should be his
But no! Let Lester deem her false if
he chose. She would remain faithful to
the troth she had p1ighted in her heart
We'll, then, think the matter over, 8"
repeated Bradshaw Meanwhile" with
a return to his usual manner, L really
think you had better let me get up
Yes, you may get up" said Edith,
glad to end a t6te-a-t6te which had
developed so unexpectedly "And if you
will come with me, will introduce you
you to the dearest, sweetest, prettiest
and incest girl in all the world"
L know her already" muttered Brad
shaw, with a look that made Edith hasten
their departure
Miss Phyllis Harland, dressed with
elaborate simplicity to support her favor
ite opening, which was to pose as de
mure, timid little maid, was waiting
with growing indignation for Edith to
present the nice American She had
arranged herself upon a shady garden
seat, with a sunbonnet dangling from
her rosy fingers, her head thrown back,
her lips Just parted to show gleam of
pearly teeth, and her long 1ashes resting
on her flushed cheek. She offered a
perfect picture of a tired child fallen
into unconscious sleep. When Brad
shaw appeared on the scene it was her
intention to give him time to take in all
the details, and then to raise slowly
those long, curved lashes and look at him
with shy, startled eyes. She had never
yet known this attack to fail. But the
position was trying, and at length, when
the pins and needles in her shoulder grew
unbearable, she rose to her feet and
stamped on the ground pettishly.
At this unpropitious moment Edith
and Bradshaw came upon her suddenly
from an unexpected direction, and Phyl-
lis, all her elaborate arrangements wasted,
shook a mental fist at her friend. Miss
Harland had, however, almost as many
gambits as a chess expert; and if the
conditions were unfavorable for the dis
play of appealing trustfulness, her mood
of happy, innocent ROBUSTNESS was none
the less fascinating Edith, silent and dis
trait, rather suffered by comparison with
her sparkling friend.
Down at the Fisher1nan's Rest
George Lester was gloomily debating
whether to stay on for awhile or to end
the whole business by taking the next
train to London.
The tide of suspicion seemed to be
somewhat ebbing away from Edith, and
she had a strong and alert protector in
Bradshaw. Yet, though it seemed to
him that he was irresolute, in reality
he had made up his mind to wait for
some definite indication of Edith's en-
qaqement to the American. During
those davs he went out little. meeting
with Edith would be painful to both OF
them, and though Bradshaw, who had
now returned to his quarters at the inn,

HOLIDAY JEWELLERS.
Police Fill Station Houses With
Drunks-But Little Disorder.

10ACo III 0VAt1Ou houS6S Will
Drunks-But Little Disorder.
Congratulatory messages have been re-
ceived by the police because Of the good
order that prevailed upon the streets and
in the business houses Saturday night and
yesterday. There was but little blowing
Of horns INDUCED in and the persons who
had INDUCED in intoxicants did not give
much trouble. although they were numer-
Gus. The police made 100 arrests during
the twenty-four hours ended at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning and forty of the per-
sons who were arrested were merely held
long enough to get sober. Fifty arrests
were made during the succeeding twenty
upon charges Of intoxication.
Saturday night and Sunday morning the
police Of the first and sixth precincts were
kept busy locking up men who had begun
their Christmas celebration rather early.
More leniency was extended the victims OF
alcohol than Is extended on ordinary occa-
sfons, the police making allowances for
the holiday season. At the first precinct
the cells were all occupied early in the
night. and 1t became necessary to put more
than one man In a cell. Later the floor
Of the corridor was utilized for the ac-
commodation Of the ''drunks." 1t was
only In extreme cases that the police
coupled the charge of disorderly with the
drunk charges and compelled the victims
to appear in court this morning.

Intercepted Santa Claus.

George Washington, colored, prevented q
disappointment in his family Saturday by
prompt action in Selling a man who was
walking away with a sled which Washing
ton had just purchased. Crossing Police
man Barrett at 7th and Florida avenue
was also called in to assist and he locked
up the alleged thief, who gave his name
as John fSimms The sled was left in
front of Seigman's store on 18th street
northwest by Washington while he made
some other purchases When he looked for
it shortly afterward, he saw the sled in the
hands OF Sinms, rapidly disappearing up
the street.
Judge Kimball insisted that Smms should
have rest of thirty days, which he will
spend with Warden Harris, in thinking
over the matter.
