Maude Forbes, maid to Miss Ann
Peabody, felt her heart thrill as she
glanced at the bulky figure of the big
chauffeur beside her.
John winthrope was a we'll built
man. Tall and handsome, with the
muscles of an athlete, he was enough
to make the heart of an impression
able girl palpitate abnormally. And
when a pretty girl like Miss Forbes
was really in love with him then his
proximity was sufficient to bring
bushes Of delight. Winthrope's one
great fault In Miss Forbes eyes was
his innate bashfulness.
"Do you know" she whispered con-
fdently In his ear, "T believe that you
are In love with Miss Peabody"
Winthrope's face turned red under
her twinkling gaze; but, although Miss
Forbes was apparently greatly delight.

DETECTIVES RUN
DOWN SMUGGLERS
Quiet Work Of Collector Loeb May Re-
suit In the Recovery Of Millions
Of Dollars.

New York, Oct. 11.-Scores Of new
indictments, probably amounting 10
more than 100, will be returned by the
United States grand jury within the
next two weeks against persons for
swindling the government out Of tariff
revenues at the port OF New York.
Collector Loeb has had his dragnet out
for these swindlers ever since he as
sumed office last spring. The work Of
his inspectors and detectives, togeth-
er with that Of large corps OF special
men from the treasury department az
Washington, has been so quietly con-
Quoted during the past few months as
to have kept the great majority OF vic
tins who are now about to be brought
up with sharp turn completely in the
dark as to what was going on.
Three classes of thieves and their
confederates, many OF whom have
been in the government service for
years, will be covered by the indict-
ments. namely:
Importers Of figs, cheese, dates, etc,
from Mediterranean ports; importers
OF raw sugar; and fashionable millln-
ers in the Fifth avenue district.
OF the latter class many OF the best
known and most expensive dress
makers and modistes in the United
States will be indicted. Along with
them as accessories will be a long
batch Of steamboat baggagemen, minor
officials of the collectors office and
men who work around the docks ri
the German steamship companies.
A score or more Of the men connect
ed with the weighing division OF Sur.
veyor Clarkson's Office will be indicted
for accepting bribes that vary in
amounts in each case from $40 to $500.
II is known that Collector Loeb's
men have traced 200 sleeper" trunks
that contained fine millinery from
other countries, on which the govern.
ment should have collected at least
100000.
II Is estimated that the treasury nj
Washington has been cheated out OF
from $S,000.000 to $10,000000 through
systematic swindling alone.
