she became more and more enamored. She would risk anything to have him near her It was not loEg before he vas spending most of his time in her handsome home.
 The woman now exhibited a new phase of capriciousness. The jewels which she had SO prized she lavished upon the fireman. Vaunce might view with complacency any folly. crime or deceit of the woman but this. Now she was basely ungrateful. He had picked her out of the gutter and she was going back to it. What was to become of him if she lost both bus band and millionaire? What of all the fond dreams he had of the future? The sinful waste of the jewels must end. The woman must be saved from herself
 So it was that Vaunce. meaning nothing more than to scare the wom- an, said something that opened the husbands eyes to the absence Of some of the gems The husband questioned the wife. She. in a panic, said she did not know where they were-they must have been stolen. The husband said nothing. but. without her knowl- edge. employed detectives. They found some Of the jewels in pawn shops and some others and pawn tickets in the fireman's room.
 Mans chlvalry Shown.
 An arrest followed The woman could not acknowledge the mans in nccence without proclaiming her shame. He could have gone free if he had told the truth, but it would have involved her. He simply did what in his rudely chivairic mind seemed the proper thing to do. He took the brand of thief and went to prison, where he now Is. The bus band. who may or may not have had suspicion of the true state of affairs, brought suit for divorce, but named as the correspondent the young million aire The latter man. though discard ed. accepted the situation. The testi- mony was taken before a referee in secret, the divorce granted and the woman freed
 She has expressed no regret, the former husband has none. the core spondent is silent, and only the fire man Is punished. Strange part of 1t. though. Is that Vaunce really believes he is the one that is injured. He can not see any moral obliquy in his having gambled with a human life for his pecUniary advantage or in being the indirect cause of wreeking, if not the fortune, at least the happiness of a generous friend All he sees is that his plans have gone astray and that he faces in his old age the pinch ing which he had planned so elabor ately 10 avert, for the pension he thought so secure is paid no longer. Out in Chicago recently Mrs. James Schmidt told to a court a story that has been soaring her heart for two years. It has brought shame to her self. but it will bring freedom to a man under 6 life sentence. Two years ago the wife of Dr. Haldane Clemin- son died from poisoning. There were circumstances that directed suspicion against the husband. There was evi- dence of quarrels. of some neglect. of jealously welLfounded. The defense was a general denial with an alibi as the main reliance.

 But the alibi was weak. It led him away from bis home. but whither2 [ Where he was not was almost reason i ably determined. It was where he actually was that was shrouded in mystery. It seemed to the jury the physician should have been able to | account for himself on the night his i wife died, and they found him guilty of murder in the second degree. He J was sentenced to prison for life and went there uncomplaining.
 Mrs. Schmidt now has come forward to clear him. And again it was against his protest. for her statement brings dishonor on her. At the cost of the love Of her family and of the 1 friendships that helped to make her 7 life pleasant, she has confessed that he was in her company at the time of the alleged crime. and it was only at his command that she did not testify at the trial.
