Smuggling is still fairly Furnishing

the annual report, recently issued, of
the commissioners Of customs for the
year ending last March, the number
of detected attempts to smuggle duti-
able goods during the past year was
the largest recorded since 1895. The
quantities of tobacco, cigars and spir-
its seized were less than in the pre-
ceding year, but there was a consider
able increase in the number OF sefS-
ures and of persons fined. says Home
Chat No fewer than 3,104 persons
were fined for smuggling, and the PEN

She turned to lead the way as though
there was no argument to be made,
and Bert, grinning over the ridiculous
ness of the affair followed after. He
saw with pleasure that the other apart
ment was only across the hall from his
own. 1t was a much smaller place,
and it did not take Bert long to paint
the floors. The girl stood in the door
way experimenting the work, and
Bert was sorry when at last he rose
from his knees and announced the
completion OF the job
you will still have time to finish the
other apartment" said the girl severe
ly. Next time do as you are told, and
you will have less trouble You know
very we'll that the agent told you to do
this apartment first He promised me
that he would
He'll promise anything" began Bert
grimly, but the tiny foot staml.ed a
warning. The girl did not care to ar
que the point with a workman and she
dismissed him with nod.
"COme in tomorrow and give it Il
second coat" she commanded. wait
a moment" she added as Bert turned
to go. BUY yourself a good cigar"
she finished as she handed him a coin.
Bert dropped the dime in his pocket
with a murmured word of thanks and
backed out of the door. Once on the
other side, his embarrassment died
down, and he paused long enough to
ascertain from the card on the door
that it was Dorothy Remsen who oc-
cupied the apartment. That she was
a china decorator he already knew, and
vaguely he remembered having heard
of her skill
He was tired when he sought his
home that night, but the thought that
he would see the girl again on the
morrow gave him a feeling that the
day had been well spent. He carefully
slipped the dime in locket which he
wore on his watch fob and smiled as
he thought of his tip
He painted the studio floors the
first thing next morning and then
turned his attention to his own apart
ment. 1t was late in the afternoon
when he had finished and was clean
ing up. There came a ring at the door,
and he opened 1T to confront a young
woman who radiated confusion and
penitence.
81 have come to apologize" she said,
blushing redly. 81 stopped in to thank
the agent for sending me painter,
and he did not know that my floors
had been done. Then he recalled that
you were painting your own place and
explained my error"
Its very natural one,' he said.
with a laugh. eff you were half as
desperate as my mother, should not
blame you for kidnapping me with
full knowledge of the facts. l am only
glad that have been of service to
you"
"You don't know how greatly you
have aided me-" she cried. Il can new
er repay your kindness. l am so sorry
that was abrupt yesterday. Will you
pardon mew
The long. slender hand was clasped
in Bert's own, and he smiled down
into the brown eyes that dropped shyly
before his gaze.
Dorothy slipped back into her own
apartment, and Bert. closing his door,
drew the dime she had given him from
his lOcket
'The jobs going to cost you more
than that, little woman" he said as he
smiled to himself. Its going to cost
you your heart and hand, and they are
worth millions of Dimes"
