OUR CT Hill DREN'S CORNER
MABEL'S NEW NURSE.

UT OH the piazza the block forts
W were going up beautifully, while
just inside, where the breath of
flowers and all the pleasant summer
sounds came mother was reading to
Mabel.
1t was not "a-very-sick," but just a
"sick : enough = to-have-to-stay-in-bed'
that was the matter with her, Mabel
said. 1t was rather nice when 1t came
time for cream toast and while mother
read to her; but it was hard to lie still
when her mother had to go away, and
when Mabel could hear the other chill
dren playing without her. By and by
Bridget looked in at the door.
1.-THE washerwoman's little boy has
hurt his foot, ma'am, and she wants to
know will you come down a bit?"
"Oh, dear!' said Mabel. Every
body want you, Who'll take care of
me while you're gomez"
Mother thought a minute. Il know
some one who can help wou to be the
best kind of a little invalid, if she
WILL she said. I'll write her name on
this slip of paper, and you can open ii
after I'm gone, and see if you want
her.
Mabel waited only long enough to
near mothers steps pass out of the
hall before she opened the paper and
read. "Mabey Gray"
why, that's just mel" she said. i
thought it was going to be somebody. :
AT first her lips poutea, but then, at
the thought of being her own nurse,
funny little dimples and smiles began
to come. She told herself to be good.
Lie still, my dear, and try to sleep
row. and soon she laughed outright.
Then she began to tell herself stories,
and by and by she was sound asleep.
She did not hear when mother came in,
but when she awoke the dear race was
smiling dow at her.

along?" mother asked.
Pretty WE'LL answered Mabel. she

her more preposterous than the last.

At hat question Flora's heart seemed
fairly to stand still. That was the very
Eksstion she had been asking herself
NR days, and asking in vain.
Elias voice was coming to her faint
as a voice from another world. "She
wanted that little, little p~icture-that

last words were hardly audible. The
receiver fell jangling into it's bracket

the telephone and closed her eyes.

Clara with hat little, little picture.

The words sounded ominous in
Flora's ears. She turned away. Wa
everything to be finished just as she
had light enough to move, but before
she had a chance?
The sound of spinning wheels or the
drive startled her to fresh hope, and
sent her hurrying dow the stair. II
was the phaeton returning from the
last train. Through the open door she
saw the figure of Mrs. Herrick ex-
pectant on the veranda. Then the car
riage came into the -porte-cochere and
passed. With a rush she reached the
v%eranda, and stood there looking after
it. She wouldn't believe her eyes-she
couldn't-that it had returned agair
empty.
Mrs. Herrick's voice was asking her,
What shall we do? Shall we serve
dinner now, or wait a little longer?'
"Oh, it's no USE Flora murmured,

porch pillar.

her passive hand. If she read in the
profound discoura cement of Flora's
face that something more had trans
pired than a mere non-appearance, she
did not show 1t, but waited, alert and
quiet, while they gazed together out
over the darkening garden.
There was a curious flick, flick,

Herrick had risen; and Flora, follow

hesitatingly, as if ready to be desert

newly smoking tobacco, both were

Herrlck simply would have cried, I'm

when he turned toward her, in spite of

SHERIFF AND LEAFS HOUSE SER
WANT BEFORE GRAND JURY
THIS MORNING.

The Grand Jury this morning resum-
ed examination into the allegations
of accepting bribes against former
Chief of Detectives Joe Leal.
Sheriff Jarrett was on the witness
stand, as was also a servant Of the
Leal family who alleges that he saw
money pass to the benefit of Leal.
The morning session, however, did
not complete the investigation and a
recess was taken until 1880 O'Clock this
afternoon. 1t it thought possible that
the case will be finished today Leal
himself has not been called.
In regard ia Leafs successor as Chief
of Detectives, or at least to take the
position under Deputy Sheriff Rose
which is hereafter to correspond to
the position of Chief Of Detectives, 1t
is stated this morning that the job
has been offered to local newspaper

Two deserters from the Italian
cruiser Calabria stand ready for de-
portation by the Federal authorities,
at the official request of the Italian
consulate, represented by F. A. Schae-
fer, and thereby hangs a tale.
AS exclusively reported in The Star
a day or so ago, an alleged deserter
from the Calabria was taken by Bill
Jarrett, City and County Sheriff, from
aboard the American schooner Mary
b. Foster, and held in durance vile, IN
til Shipping Commissioner II. n. Almy
stepped in and declared that the po-
lice authorities had nothing to do with
the matter inasmuch as the affair was
one where only the Federal authori-
ties could interfere.
Jarrett lost no time in consulting
the United States authorities, wanting
to be on the right side of the business,
and soon there was a hearing before
United States Commissioner George A
Davis, in which U. s.. Marshal e. r.
Hendry nd Sheariff Jarrett were ma
turally interested.
There were two alleged deserters be-
fore the Commissioner. One broke
down and confessed, but in regard to
the other there was at first consider
able doubt; for the man who con-
Ifessed declared that he did not know
the other; in fact, said he, there were
some four hundred men aboard the
Calabria and ne could not swear that
his alleged comrade was also a deser-
ter.
However, here is where the perspi-

press a personal desire for the higher
position, that to be vacated by Will

ing a brief respite from his inter-
esting but nevertheless arduous labors.
De Bolt, by way of example of how
a man may apply himself to his du-
ties, has never even visited the vol
cano on the island of Hawaii. 1t is
known through private sources that

No one knows, as yet, of course,
what the Washington verdict is to be;
as to whom is to succeed Wilder; but
it is known, as anything can be known
before it is realized, that De Bolt is
the man who is to be appointed to the

AS to why Wilder is resfgning, whe'
ther it is because he and Chief JUS
tice Hartwell cannot sufficiently appre'
ciate each other, or for other rea
sons, has nothing to do with the fact
that Wilder is going to join fortunes
with Thompson & Clemons and, s;

First Associate ustice Arthur A.
Wilder, who resigns his position on
the Supreme Bench early next year,
is to form a partnership with the
noted legal firm Of Thompson e Gle
mons.
Frank Thompson is acknowledged to
be one Of the chief legal minds of
the cream of the legal profession in
this Territory, and, as everybody
knows, Clemons is as learned in the
Jaw, and therefore as valued a book
lawyer, as any who practice here.
Wilder, whose experience on the Su-
preme Bench renders him peculiarly
capable as a solicitor, barrister, attor-
ney, champion or arbitrator, will
make, in his joining with the firm
mentioned, as formidable combina-
ton as has existed since A. G. M
Robertson and ]. j. Dunno worked to-
gether on certain big cases, or as
brave an alliance as that represented
by the late George D. Gear and Abram
S. Humphreys. where Gear had all the
power of representation to jury and
Humphreys contributed the technical
formulate that enhanced the power of
the combination
There have ben other noted legal
combinations in the local field, but 1t
is doubted, at least among the legal
fraternity, if there will be any more
energetic triple alliance than the con-
templated arrangement between
. Thompson, Wilder and Clemons.
Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan was
a unit that begot respect, but Kinney
was too much the greatest of the
three, according to the opinions of the
lawyers, without disrespect to any OF
the firm; whereas the Clemons
Thompson, Wilder combination is a.
legged to be the best-adapted yet con
ceived.
This knowledge, of the fact that Will
der is going in with Thompson &
Clemons, is not without its bearins
on the unanimous endorsement OF the
Bar Association of Circuit Judge Johr
Thomas De Bolt for the position abou
to be vacated by Justice A. A. Wilder
