you have made such a mistaken"
The accused persons remained IL
their seats, with an expression on theh
faces Indicating astonishment and In
jured innocence. Miss Bend and Mr.
Cunningham went into another room
They were soon Joined by the hostess

The way 1t has come up In
connection with the strange
case Of Nine. SteInheil Is very extraor-
dlnary and sensational. Most remarka-
ble Of all is the train OF circumstances
resulting in dragging into the scandal
the name of the late president OF
France. Felix Faure, who died sud
denly in the year 1890. Although
hushed up at the time, 1t Is said to
have been common knowledge of those
behind the scenes that Nine. Steinheil
was with NJ. Faure at the Elysee pal
ace when he died. Some of the
parisian afternoon newspapers do not
hesitate to print what they term the
story of the liaison. According to
these stories. NJ. Faure had met Nine
s,eInheil In the Swiss Alps during the
maneuvers the year previous to his
death. and she was greatly enamored
Of him.
The arrest of Nine. Steinheil, whose
artist husband was strangled to death
in his home In Paris last May. has
caused tremendous sensation In
France. Many exciting episodes have

There IS a disinclination to discuss the

who came at once and proved the fam

before been accused Of shoplifting. so
the flrm of Dargen & Co. consented
that she be given time to offer an ex-
PLANTATION before being prosecuted.
Despite an effort made to keep the
matter quiet 1t became known. Miss
Bend was one of those plain spoken,

whom she had accused OF cheating at
cards, had been indicated. Some Of
them went SO far as to resume their
Invitations to the latter.

house Mrs. Lyman had been accused.
was abroad when Miss Bend was found
to have lace In her bag. 1t was the
first BIT Of news she beard on her re-
turn. Fastening to Miss Bend. she
said to her:

that Mrs. Lyman is a dangerous wo-
man to offend and that she would get
even with you for making public her
cheating. She did this work. Let
your lawyer confront her with the
saleswoman at the lace counter and
the fioorwalker. Unless she acted
through a confederate they will identi-
fy her."
The next day a gentlemanly looking
man called on Mrs. Lyman and asked
her to accompany him to the office Of
Dargen Il Co. She turned pale and
asked by what authority he acted. He
replied that she had a choice between
complying and being arrested. She
thought the matter over and concluded
to comply. In Dargen's office she
found the foorwalker who had been
Informed OF the theft and the sales
woman at the lace counter. The for
mer identified her as his informant
and the latter as a lady who stepped
up to the counter at the time Miss
Bends bag was lying there and while
its owner was absent.
A compromise was made by which
Mrs. Lyman signed a confession to be
shown to a few OF Miss Bends friends,
and Mrs. Lyman went abroad.
And SO 1t was that this respectable
circle settled their differences without
referring them to the criminal courts,
and this little story never made even
a ripple outside the social world.

cially opposed to it. His majesty's op-
position arises in part from his belief
