Says She Is PenniIess.

Mrs. Hartje in her affidavit says that she is penniless and compelled to rely on her father fer support. She alleges that Hartje is trying to exhaust the resources of her father and to ruin her and her family. In regard to the letters written by her sister Ida, Mrs. Hartje says she and her parents pre- vented Ida from marrying Howard w. Larpe, who had won her regard and affection.
 "The letters in question:" Mrs. Hart je alleges, were written by my sister at the suggestion of Lappe to be used by him to threaten and coerce my par ents into consenting to the marriage of Lappe and my sister. For this pur- pose, as I am informed, Lappe subse- quently attempted to use these letters and sent certain of them to my fa- ther and also threatened to sell them to Augustus Hartje, and when that scheme failed he sold the letters to Augustus Hartje, who was dishonora- ble enough to purchase them for a considerable sum of money and then make them public"
 Ida Scott made an affidavit corrobo- rating the statements of Mrs. Hartje in regard to the letters. She said the letters were dictated by Lappe and that she knew nothing derogatory to the character of her sister

da Scott Admits Writing Letters
 Defaming Mrs. Hartie.
TO IMPOSE ON HER FATHER.

MiIIionaire's Wife Declares Tom Ma
 dine, the coachman Correspondent,
 Was Bought Off by Husband, Who
 Is Trying to Ruin Her Family.
 Philadelphia, Oct. 30.-Bristling with sensational allegations is the reply of Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, wife of Au- gustus Hartje, millionaire paper man. ufacturer of Pittsburg, which was filed in the superior court here in reply to the petition of her husband to have his suit for divorce reopened on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Hartje in asking for a rehearing of the case ayerred that he had obtained letters written by Ida Scott, a sister of Mrs. Hartje, to Howard W. Lappe, with whom she eloped, in which she made startling charges against Mrs. Hartje. The wife of the millionaire in her re- ply admits the genuineness of these letters, but says they were dictated by Lappe for the purpose of forcing her father to consent to Lappe's marriage to Ida Scott. When the father refused to give his consent to the wedding, 1t is charged, Lappe sold the letters to Hartje for large amount of money.
 Even more sensational than the ale gations in regard to the Ida Scott let ters are the charges which Mrs. Hartje makes against Tom Nadine. former coachman in the Hartje home, who was named as correspondent in the husbands suit for divorce. Nadine stood stanchly by the wife during her trial, but Mrs. Hartje averred that since then he sold out to the husband and that the former coachman now Is living in luxury in Ireland.

Denies Writing to Nadine.


 The greater part of Mrs. Hartje's af. fidavit is devoted to the switching of Tom Nadine from the side of the wife to that of the husband. She says that Nadine on April 12, 1907, made a statement in the office of Watson & Freeman, in which he said he had been approached by a representative of Hartje, who told him that if he made certain statement he would receive 5000 and that within six months he would be the possessor of $30,000. The statement, Nadine said. was to be used before the superior court met. Nadine said $10,000 had been offered him for an envelope ad- dressed to him by Mrs. Hartje and that more money was offered to swear that the Nadine letters produced at the trial of the divorce action were genu- inc. When Nadine pointed out that he had testified at the trial the letters were forgeries and that to change his evidence would result in sending him to the penitentiary he was told that if he got into jail Hartje would see that he got out again.
 Referring to the change of attitude on the part of Nadine, Mrs. Hartje says:
 "I deny that the petitioner is able to establish the receipt by Thomas Ma dine of any letters from me to him while he was in Ireland in 1905 or at any other time. Tom Nadine has tes- tified that Augustus Hartje had about one year before the trial offered him a bribe of $5,O00 if he would testify falsely against me, and am informed and believe that since the trial Angus tus Hartje has been attempting to bribe and corrupt Tom Nadine and to persuade him by offers of money to make false statements in reference to me and in reference to the testimony given on trial of this case"
 Money to Corrupt Coachman.
 The affidavit continues: q am in- fo.med that Hartje has offered Nadine large sums of money if he would leave the country and refuse to again appear in this case or the criminal cases against Hartje and his so called detectives, Staab and Anderson; that before the trial in court below and al- most continuously ever since Nadine has been trailed by one or more alleged detectives in the employ of Augustus Hartje; that since the trial he has been furnished by them from time to time with money and frequently kept | intoxicated with liquor provided by them"
 Mrs. Hartje further states that the infamous bargain with Nadine was completed in Ireland.

"A man must be willing not only to
efface himself, but to blot himself out
of existence if necessary, for my sake"
Jean Boyce made this statement
without premeditation, driven to it by
sheer ennui. 1t was the third time
that she had been called upon TO give
her reason for not acquescing in
Maurice Ankeney's belief that they
were made for each other, and this
time she wanted it to be final
They had just turned the corner into
her home street. Jean FASTENED her
steps as she spoke, with a little laugh
Of impatience.
Maurice Anleney looked at her first
with disappointment in his frank blue
eyes, then speculation and at last
amusement. Could you care that
much for any one?" he asked coolly.
"Oh, no"-her tone was matter-of
fact-"I couldn't. 1t isn't in me-"
"Oh, 1 see. You demand it as com
Elementary quality in others"
He continued his scrutiny of her face
as a smart trap with a man and wo-
man in 1t rounded the corner The
woman-a stoutish blond with a noun
tam of lavender plumes on her head
was driving.
The warm color that came to Jeans
cheeks as she returned the mans rec
ognition deepened as the trap rolled
past, for she knew that Maurice was
watching her, and she felt the new,
strange intentness in his gaze.
AS for Ankeney, his expression sud
denly became Il mixture of calmness
and stern determination. 'Tll do it!'
he exclaimed And for this apparently
eccentric remark he was rewarded by
an electrifying look Of inquiry from
a pair of dark eyes.
"Do what?"
"Efface-I mean extinguish--myself
by getting him for you"
The dark eyes became inscrutable.
IF you want Harold Buckley, you
shall have him." he continued precipi-
lately as they mounted the steps Of

Hint For Book Lenders.

A book borrowers album is the de-
vice which a woman who has a fine
library has employed in order that she
may keep track of her books and that
her friends may not be delinquent In
returning them. She delighted in lend
ing her books, but was far from pleased
In punching her friends up for their
return. Now when q friend asks the
loan Of a book she acQuiesces readily
enough, but requests the borrower to
write in the album his or her name
and the date on which the book IS bor-
rowed. On returning 1t the borrower
Is asked to comment on the book and
initial it. This album always Is kept
in a conspicuous place In the drawing
room, where visitors are likely to pick
1t up and glance 1t through, learning
who IS not prompt in returning books
The result IS that this woman now has
her books returned promptly, as the
borrowers know they will be convicted
In the album If they are delinquent
They take kindly to the plan, the lend
er does not have to prod them for the
return of the books, and she has an
album which is valuable to her as con-
tanning the comments Of her friends
on the treasures In her library.-New

Jean felt sharp pain In her arm as
she picked herself up; then the diver
sion of what followed made her forget
her screams by an attack upon Harold,
who had just extricated himself whole
from the ditch.
"Mr. Buckley, this is a great way TO
drive" she cried in her high voice with
Its slightly foreign accent. why don't
you look at your roadf'
But she was instantly Modified by
Harolds abject apologies and shook
hands with him quite sweetly.
Maurice, who had got to work with
out loss Of time, had almost finished
putting on a new tire when Jean felt
so faint that she had to sit down on
the grass. The pain was coming back
into her wrist.
1t was Just then that Maurice Ankle
ney happened to look over his shoulder
He burst out roughly to Harold, who
was still busy with the heiress, Don't
you see the girl is hurtf"
He got to her first, but in a second
they were all bending over her. She
assured them that it was only a sprain-
ed wrist
Maurice gave Buckley his handker-
chief, ordering him to bandage the in
jured arm tight, and flew back to work
again az the tire.
Jean received a feverish impression
through her pain that there was a
parley and almost an alteration.
Maurice seemed to be out of patience
with everybody, and the heiress played
him close second. Jean couldn't see
all the time, but she heard Madge
Racers voice grow shriller and shriller
mo; Mr.. Buckley must take the back
seat with Miss BOyce. I'll ride in

But Mr.. Buckley said that some one
must stay with the disabled machine.
1t came hastily to Jean that he sug-
gested Maurice as the one to do this.
At this Madge Racer insisted that they
take Buckleys auto III tow.
After what seemed hours to Jean she
felt herself lifted up in somebody's
arms, and the next thing she knew
the wind of rapid motion against her
face brought everything clear to her
Maurice at her side looked back grim

sounded far away.
"Oh, no, you didn't. You're game
I'd like to see the heiress in the same
fix"
There was so much of genuine ad-
miration in his look and tone that Jean
took new strength for a moment She
must have been weak, too, or she
would not have said what she did next
''Do-dO you really care for her
money!
Maurice gave her sharp, quick
look. You must be out of your head"
he muttered as he bent again over the
guide wheel
When he was ready to leave her at
home, after the sprain had been cared
for and the color was creeping back
into her cheeks, he stood over her
couch and asked humbly:
Am | sufficiently blotted out?"

"But I'd like you to be sure" he in
