According to the story told by Eliza

Waldo mother OF former First Deputy
Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo,
Il was her vigilance alone that pre-
vented William j Wedenberg, OF No
SOL West One Hundred ana Twenty

plum o.!g fixtures out OF Mrs. Waldo's
big mansion at No. So Madison avenue.
The house has not been occupied for
years, though Mrs. Waldo lives opposite
at No. 81 East Seventy-second street,
and has gained the name Of the House
OF Mystery"
on the afternoon of March Is Miss
Smith was sitting at second-story
window when she looked up from her
sewing to notice an express wagon that
backed up to the sidewalk in front of
the vacant house opposite. She told
Mrs, Waldo, who ordered her TO find
out what the men were doing. Miss
Smith tripped across the street and in
terrupted the eXpresman and his COM
panioh just as they were carting out
big kitchen boiler and couple of wash
basin fixtures.
Were working for man named
Miller, a plumber on Third avenue"
Miss Smith said Weidenbergs compan-
ion told her,
|Well, you'd better Just take all that
stuff into the house again" said Miss
Smith.
That Was Effective.
Gee! Miller will be awfully mad"
said the first speaker.

she threatened to 30 for a policeman |
the two men carried all the fixtures they
bad taken back into the house.
Miss Smith let them drive off, but |
being, prudent young person, she jot-
ted down the name on the wagon. Then |

and arrested the expressman.
Magistrate Moss said he would have |
to discharge Weidenberg, who said ,
that his companion was a stranger to .
him and had stepped up TO him at his
stand on Third avenue and told him
he had a job for him. He didn't know
he was doing anything wrong
! Mrs. Waldo, who was in court was
much incensed when she heard the.dis-

"why, Judge" she exclaimed angrlly,

stood the test Of years and to-day is

any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, infamr

regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, flatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from anyof these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-

He was right. Couple of days later
l heard from Emmie T. that the Twins

the cooking for 'em. Hannah James

I was getting real chummy with the
Heavenlies by this time, SO n after

to see 'em. They were sprawled out
on the piazza chairs with their feet
on the railing and they hailed me as

key. l noticed Lord James tiptoeing
around in the parlor, SO / naturally
mentioned him.

They both laughed, Van Brunt with
his big good-natured "Ha, hal" and
Hartley with that quiet chuckle of his.
