Story Of a Bible.

A case that had to do with the theft
OF Bible was before the grand jury
some time ago and after it had been
disposed of. George w. Seibert, fore
man of the jury. related story In
which a Bible figured prominently. Mr..
Siebert said that his mother had CIV
en- him an old-fashioned family Bible
when he married. About two years
after his marriage Mr. Siebert needed
money. he said. and had almost de.
cided to dispose of the Bible. When
such thoughts were occupying his
mind. Mr.. Seibert picked up the Bible
one day and began turning over the
leaves of the book. He had passed
over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $50 bills. His mother had
placed them in the Bible when she
had presented the book to him. Mr..

The boy laughed aloud. the laugh OF

loose herself from an iron image Of
the Spanish Inquisition as from his
young arms. This slender. delicious.
willowy thing he held was Lefty Lane,
Me adored star London went mad
over; the triumph Of It! 1t flashed
through him as his pulses beat and his
heart was high with the conquest. but
It was to the woman only that he
whispered:
II 1--WE said a lot Of stuff and I am
likely to say a lot more. but l want
you to say something to me. Don't
you love me?"
The word on his lips to him was rs
strange. as wonderful. as though 1t

God. I'm SO glad! How long?"
why. ever since you used to come

were when you we're a little boy"
: She put her slender hand against
his hot cheek. And you are nothing

As he protested. as she listened in
,tently to what his emotion taught him
to say to her. she whispered close to
his ear:
What will you take, little boy?"
And he answered.: "I'll take you-
you'll"
At slight sound in the next room
Lefty Lane started as though the in
terruption really brought her to her

hair, and before she could prevent 1t.
Dan had called Mrs. Higgins to come

came into the sittingroom. The boy
went to her and took her hands ca

gins. Just think OF It! She belongs

"Oh, don't be perfect lunatic. Dan."

But the old woman's eyes went
bright at the boys face and tone. II
never was so glad of anything In my
life."

sharply, and the tone was so cold and
so suddenly altered that Dan felt
chill Of despair.
"Why. at what Mr.. Blair says, Miss"
"Then," said her mistress, you
ought to be ashamed of yourself. He's
only twenty-five, he doesn't know any
thing about life. You must be crazy.
He's as mad as a March hare and he
ought to be in school,
Then. to their CONSERVATION. she
burst into a passion of weeping; threw
herself on Higgins breast and begged
her to send Dan away-to send every
body away-and to let her die in peace.
In utter despair the boy obeyed the
drosser's motion to go. and his trans
mort was changed into anxiety and
dread. He hung about downstairs in
the Savoy for the rest of the after
noon. finally sending up to Higgins for
news in sheer desperation. and the
mage fetched Blair note in Letty's
own hand His eyes blurred so as he
