let the matter drop, but the professor
knew how priceless was the find, and
the thought that he had betrayed the
confidence of guest was an addition
al source of pain to the sensitive old
man.
At last his condition became so grave
that Lena was alarmed The professor
would not consent to see physician
He knew well enough that no medical
man could bring him relief, and az a
last resource Lena wrote Paul asking
him to come and see them. Already
Paul had gained a reputation as spe-
cialist, and since her father would not
go to see physician the only thing to
be done was to bring the specialist to
him.
She said nothing OF Paul's visit to
her father, and she arranged with
Paul to pretend that he had dropped
of over ono train to pay short visit
They met only at the table, and PauPs
first glance told him that his host was
laboring under some great mental
strain and that nothing could be done
until that strain was relieved. With
the idea Of diverting the professors
attention from his cares he brought
out a scarab. =
At the sight of It the professor half
rose from the table and uttered
hoarsc cry Of surprise. The scarab was
the exact duplicate Of the one In the
secret compartment of the safe. and,
not prohing by experience, Paul was
carrying this in his watstcoat pocket,
as he had the other.

fessor

He tossed the stone across the table,
and with trembling hands the pro-
fessor examined the gift He would
have sworn to its genuineness, but in
the face of Paul's statement this
could not be so. He experienced an
odd sense of relief He was no less
thief, though there was not hanging
over him the dread fear that he would
not be able to make restitution. He
passed the stone back to Paul.
II meant to tell you that found

wondering how to get it to you.
Keep them both. Them cried Paul.

The proportion of inmates in the
penitentiary from Prohibition counties
was three and one-third for every thou-
sand of population, and from license
counties the proportion was ten to every
thousand of population If the dry
counties were as criminal as the wet
counties there would have been $50 in
mates in the penitentiary from those
counties, instead of I76. In other words,
the wet counties were three times as
criminal as the dry.
