Smash Window,

About $3.50 o'clock last night three
strange young men who were loafing
outside Theo. Rosby's confectionery
store got themselves into trouble. 1t
seems that two of them wanted to
move on while the other refused
Then the two caught the reluctant
one and by force tried to get him
with them, but he jerked backwards
smashing the window as he fell. A
merry chase followed in which the
two who were most implicated were
caught and brought back by a police
man. They decided to pay for the
window.

"A American Of twenty five with an
inherited fortune estimated at
from seven to twelve millions, after be-
ing graduated at college went abroad
for travel. One day while walking
alone in the fashionable residential
portion Of London he stopped to wit
ness an auction Of household furniture
in one Of the fashionable houses. Dur
ing the sale he espied a lady's writing
desk that struck his fancy, one Of those
spindle shanked affairs that our great
grandmothers regarded very pretty and
which one prizes for their age. Hilton

down to him. %

gle drawer in twas put up he ex-
amined it closely, and several articles
Of the kind he bid in. When Tilton
bought the lady's desk this man was
out Of the room. When he found that
it had been sold during his absence he
went to its purchaser and offered him
a fine profit. Tilton refused and sent
his desk to his hotel. -!
There he made a thorough examina-
ton Of it. Every drawer was empty.
He took a little hammer and tapped
all over 1t to discover If there was
any compartment that was not appar-
ent. No sound indicated such space.
His next move was to unscrew the
back of the desk and take it of. Out
fell several papers yellow with age.
All but one were love letters, and that
was a certificate of marriage between
Reginald Leighton and Eugenia Booth.
Inquiry told him that the house con
tanning the desk had belonged to- Sir
Spafford Leighton, the father of Regi-
maid Leighton and that Reginald had
died in America. Reginald's older
brother, Sir Arthur Leighton. had re-

Eugenia Booth had been lady's com.
panion to Reginald and Arthur Leigh
toms mother. When Reginald went to
America, Eugenia had left the service
of the Leighton family.
Reginald being dead, Tilton's search
was for his wife But as it did not
appear that she had ever passed under
the name of Leighton he concluded to
hunt for her as Eugenia Booth.
After long investigation he found
that fifteen years before she had gone
to America. Tilton took the next
steamer for home. Tilton at last
traced the widow to a western city.
There he found her, broken in health,
supported by a daughter, Beatrice, a
teacher in the public schools. They
lived in ramshackle cottage and in a
narrow street. When Tilton went
there he was admitted by Beatrice He
asked to see her mother and was ad-
mitted to room where she sat in an
easy chair propped up with pillows.

'You are mistaken. 1t slipped down
behind the drawer. Here it u.s."
The expression on the woman's face
as she looked upon the long lost docu-
ment was indescribable. Then she turn.
ed from it to Tilton in a confused won
der. He told his story. When he had
finished he drew his check for all the
funds mother and daughter would re-
quire for trip to England to estab-
fish their claim to the Leighton estate.
With the certificate Of marriage and
certificate of Beatrice's birth dated
eleven months after the marriage they
had no trouble in establishing their
claim and dispossessing the man who
was so anxious to possess Lady Leigh
tons desk.
Triton soon after they had entered
into possession Of their property went
abroad at Mrs Leighton's invitation.
He brought Beatrice Leighton back as
his wife. and this was the end of the
Leighton family in England and the
continuance of the Tilton family In

ports, none of them officially confirm

to the effect that another armistice
has been agreed upon in the Balkan
war. In Constntinople it was believed
that Turkey and Bulgaria had agreed
upon a ten days cessation of hostili-
ties.
The news that got to Paris was that
a three day truce had been arranged
among Turkey and all the allies, ex-
cept Montenegro.
No fighting among Turkey and Bull
garia, Servia or Greece has occurred
for many days. The servians have
withdrawn from Scutari. The Monte
negrins accused the Servians of fear
ing the powers and Bulgaria and
Greece are at odds over Salonika, so
that the allies apparently are too
busy with internal strife to pay much
