She's fool" interrupted Fenn but that's all! She didn't steal anything"
 he lawyer shrugged his shoulders.
 My dear sir" he said, "the innocent don't make such silly sacrifices in these days The mystery of the lost jewery is cleared up."
 Fenn pondered that declaration when he was alone in his office again"
 Have been dreaming things or am I awake?" I'm almost convinced" He locked the door of his office and then unlocked 9 drawer of his desk Is it? he asked again. "Her confession in the presence of witnesses would send her to the penitentary; the case is conclusive; jury wouldn't take five minutes over it Did she steal those things are they here
 He took the missing articles from the drawer and laid them on the desk They're here," he went on. She concsses stealing articles that have not been out of my possession, and she makes strong case of it, too; almost believed her myself" T sup pose" he commented at last. II suppose the situa- ton is comic, but don't to be able to laugh. Desson goes scat-free and I'm pussy trying dodge the necessity of arresting the girl did it for Oh, it must be very funny"
 For two days Miss Walters waited, in momentary expectation of arrest or, least discharge but bearabe, she sought an interview with Fenn ill his private office
 Am to be arrested, Mir. Fenn?' she asked.
 Not now, he answered evasvely
 "Discharged?"
 Not now"
 Then I shall resign" she announced.
 "I don't think can permit that, Miss Walters" he returned.
 "But-but something must happen!" she cried.
 Not necessarily" he answered. Of course, if you tried to leave, might feel obliged to act"
 Slowly this new situation dawned upon her; she had put herself quite at his and he was taking advantage of it in unexpected way; it might yet happen that she would have to choose between him and jail This another contingency that she had not contemplated It had not been difficult to face arrest when she made her confession but to live

The Doctor. Joke.

A physician who never goes out at
night without leaving directions as to
where to find him II wanted profess
sionally was at a theator near Forty
second street recently with friend.
Just before the curtain went up on
the second act an usher handed him a
note reading: Come to the office at
once. Don't telephone Come" The
note was signed by colleague. and
the doctor lost no time in obeying the
peremptory summons. Arriving at his
destination, he was confronted by sew
eral friends. who coolly explained that
he had been used TO decide a bet as to
the length Of time it would take to Gov
er the distance which he had trav-
ersed. The victims anger was only
slightly appeased when he was assur-
ed that the perpetrators Of the Joke

ton Of the forty million acres opened
TO actual settlement In the United
States), and still another, which was
perhaps the most important Of all,
upon naval affairs, in which Mr.. Lore,
dissenting from his committee, op-
posed Secretary Whitney's pla to
consolidate the naval bureaus and
urged the retention of the old (and the
present. system, in which there is
direct responsibility to the Secretary
of the Navy from all divisions, instead
of an indirect responsibility, as pro-
posed; extending to the head OF the
department from experienced staff Of
ficers through inexperienced line Off
GERS; unduly subordinating the former
and exalting the latter.
AntagonIzed His Party.
Mr.. Lore in this measure antagon-
lied alike a majority of his committee,
the Secretary of the Navy and promin-
ent elements of his party; but the
wisdom Of the retention of the old sys-
TEN was obvious TO the people gen.
orally and prevailed. Shortly after
his election to Congress, Mr.. Lore
received as a law partner Harry En-
mons. who is still junior member
Of the firm of Lore and Emmons.
Mr.. Lore had been very popular as a
law preceptor. and during the years
of his practice in Wilmington he
directed the studies OF no less than
thirty students, many Of whom are
now we'll known attorneys.
