Your Ladyshir is so generous" He
made an uncouth gesture of gratitude
and covetousness. MAY i ask your
Ladyship how much"
"How much?" scornfully. But

The words died away; her glance
fell; lreered on the hand he had
extended. Muscular, shapely, it
seemed not adapted to the servile
gesture; was most unlike the hand
of clod or clown. Moreover, it was
marked with number of wounds,
half-healed, which caught and held
her look
"Of course, am so poor, your Lady
ship" he began, in yet more abject
tone, but stopped, attracted in turn
by the direction Of her gaze; then,
meeting it, quickly withdrew the hand
and thrust it into his pocket. Not
in time, however, to prevent startled
light, swift CLEAN of recollection
from springing into her eyes! The
very movement itself - ironically

Mechanically she raised her hand to

throated notes filled the room.

brows went suddenly up. "How," he
asked at length in a voice yet softer,

ments of a piece given in the town,

indeed, at the moment, seemed scarce

when he was studying the document,
returned more uneasily TO his, but not
before he had caught the backward
look.
"Well?" he said with touch of as

his gaze, following the direction hers
had taken, paused.

by great Venetian candelabrum, the
far ends OF the spacious hall lay
somewhat in obscurity; notably the

Both of the retiring officials have served
the people faithfully and well in their
respective capacities during their four

with honor to themselves and their par
ty and the we'll wishes of everyone with
whom they were brought i'll official con-

CAUSING, INDUCING
AND CONTRIBUTING
10 Delinquency of I6-Year-OId
Wife Charge Filed Against
Ex-COnstabIe COate.

VIM, Coates was arrested last Satur-
day night by Probation Officer Pumph-
rey on an affidavit filed before Probate
Judge Raudabaugh by Leroy Slusser, OF
this city, charging Coates with causing,
inducing and contributing to the de-
linquency OF Hazel Susser, afiant S
sixteen year old wife.
Coates plead not guilty before Judge
Raudabaugh and was released under
bond pending trial of his case, which
viii be heard by jury in Probate Court
next Thursday.
Coates is a house-mover and an ex-
constable of this township. He is mar
ried and has a family. The Slussers are
young people and live at the corner of
Anthony and Buckeye streets.
The husband accused his child-wife of
being a delinquent, in that she is incor-
rigible and knowingly associates with
persons that she uses vile and
profane language and wanders about the
streets of this city at night, associating
with other men. He accused Coates of
meeting her upon the streets and induc-
ing her TO 60 with him into places Of
questionable character.
The Slussers were married in this city
only a couple of months ago, the bride
being daughter of Hubert Vantilburg.
A month or so ago her husband and
father caught her in company with a
young man from Rockford. A couple of
weeks ago she was caught in the compa-
ny of the same fellow, and last Satur-
lay night, it is alleged, she was caught
