When she married Mr. Jeffries it
was with deliberate calculation. She
did not love him. but, being ambitious,
she did not hesitate to deceive him.
He was rich, he could give her that
prominent position in society for
which she yearned. The fact that
she was already engaged to man for
whom she did care did not deter her
for a moment from her set purpose.
She had met Robert Underwood years
before He was then a college boy.
tall. handsome, clever. She fell in
love with him and they became en-
gagged. AS she grew more sophisticat-
ed she saw the folly of their youthful
infatuation Underwood was without
fortune, his future uncertain. While
in this uncertain state of mind she
met Mr. Jeffries. then widower, at
reception. The banker was attract
ed to her and being a business man
he did things quickly. He proposed
and was accepted, all in the brief
time of-five minutes. Robert Unders
wood and the romance of her girlhood
were sacrificed without question when
it came to reaching a prompt decision.
She wrote Underwood brief letter
of farewell, telling him that the action
she had taken was really for the best
interests of them both. Underwood
made no reply and for months did not
attempt to go near her. Then he met
her in public There was reconcilia-
ton. He exerted the old spell-on the
married woman. Cold and Indifferent
to her husband. Alicia found it anus
ing to have her old lover paying her
court and the danger of discovery only
gave the intrigue additional zest and
charm. She did not lead Underwood
to believe that he could induce her to
forget her duty to Mr.. Jeffries, but
she was foolish enough to encourage
a dangerous intimacy. She thought
she was strong enough to be able to
call a halt whenever she would be so
disposed but as is often the case she
overestimated her powers. The in
timacy grew. Underwood became

PARlSIAN OPTICAL
 CO.'S NEW STORE
Fine Equipment of Eyesight and Optical Specialists at 091 Main Street.

The Parisian Optical Co., which has for some time occupied the store at 1221 Main street in the Stratdeld Ho- tel building, has removed to more spacious and commodious quarters at 991 Main street in the store formerly occupied by George F. LIaborde, the ladies' furnisher. next to the book shop of Hayes 6 Betts. The change is much for the better as the new quar- ters furnish many more facilities for carrying on the delicate work of this nature. Because of the successes at tained by this company in this city, pr. David Brook Rubin, the manager, has added an assistant. graduate op- tician.
 The change has brought about a number of increases in the carrying on of this work in the addition of a number of special features for eye ex- animation, notably De Zengs' combi- nation optometer and phonometer.
 An objective examination of the eyes is carried out, though the old method of subjective examination, that of distinguishing small letters, is still in use. The DeZeng method is the latest foreign device, and is attached to a chair, somewhat like the dentist S chair. An examination under this method is absolutely accurate, requir- ing that the examination be made by the physician alone and not by the subject.
 The Parisian Optical Co., eyesight and optical specialists and, carry nothing but optical goods.

SAFES IN BIG HOTELS.

valuabies Kept In Them by Guests For
 Years at Time.
 A woman walked up to the counter of a fashionable hotel and asked for a package of valuables which was in the safe.
 If I had not wanted one particular thing I suppose I should have left the package where it was for another three years," she said to the clerk.
 "Yes," said the clerk in answer to a question after the woman left, 'that packet had really been in our safe for three years. Why, we have all sorts of valuable papers, jeweiry and even money that are intrusted to our keep ing for years at a time. People seem to prefer a hotel safe to a safety de- posit vault One reason perhaps is that 1t costs nothing. Another is that the standard of hotel clerks has improved.
 Tt is astonishing the amount of jew elry that people keep in hotel safes. Of course the owners have originally stop ped in the hotel, |, but they go away, leaving their valuables, and l have known such persons to be gone as much as two years and never make an inquiry about their property in that time.
 'To show you how much confidence people have in hotels and their en- ployees I might mention that the other day & man came in here and put four $1,O00 bills in an envelope, wrote his name oni the latter and asked me to put it in the safe. Not long ago an- other man actually did the same thing with seven $10,OO0 bills."
 The clerks of several other hotels talked in a similar strain without any outside suggestion,
 "Tn bet I have handled more than a million dollars worth of jewelry to- day" said one. Look here," and he opened the safe and piled six or eight big jewelry cases on the counter, but hurriedly put them back. "In one of those I know there is over $200,0OO worth, and what I showed you was only a few of what the safe contains" New York Sun.
