1t is popular to sheer at commercial
ism, but there is little of sincerity
among those who thus indulge them
selves. Commercial ethics and prac-
tices will compare favorably with So

people are on the lookout for a man
OF business ability and business ex-

on his way.
He told Annette Ryther, his fancee.
of the incident that evening. In her
gentle, plying way she wondered
what would become of the poor young
street beggar. Then, amid bright
plans for the future, the theme drifted
out OF their minds.
More than bright were those dreams
just now. Pearce held a good posi-

of money, and love" and home
were the words that beckoned them
to q happy married life.
Pearce lived at private boarding

of the star boarder" on the second
floor, he paused. 1t stood open, and

floor and out into the hall.

He had met Annette several times
and made no efforts to conceal the
fact that she attracted him As to
Annette. she had conceived q violent
dislike for him from the first Pearce
barely tolerated him. The star boarder
seemed to think. however. that his
wealth might finally make some Inn
preston upon the young lady upon
whom his heart was set.
Pearce gathered up the scattered
papers and placed them on the desk.
Then he closed the window so that no
further damage might be done. As he
came out Of the room two servants
met him. He did not, however, deem

was aroused from . late morning nap.

lain when he rushed away on his
urgent errand.

and good. II not, shall swear out
q warrant"
Pearce was not In the room when
this remark was made. He heard of
1t when he came home from a call on
Annette. His intention was to 20 to
Bolger and tell him of being in his
room that morning. As he passed
It on his way to his own, however,
the absence of light induced Pearce
to consider that Bolger was either
away or asleep.
Pearce was just leaving the house
the next morning, when q man wait
ing at the front doorway touched him
on the shoulder.
You are under arrest" he an
nounced, and produced a warrant
charging Pearce with the theft OF the
missing jewelry belonging to Bolger.
Pearce offered no resistance. All
that was manly in his nature, how
ever, came to the surface as, glancing
back at the house, he saw the face
Of Bolger peering malevolently from
behind curtain. It was less the man
mourning a loss, than Of one gloating
over the opportunity to degrade and
disgrace an envied rival.
Pearce was taken into the court
room of tho examining magistrate.
Half dozen other prisoners were
seated just beyond him awaiting ar
raignment. Amid his own troubles,
Pearce did not particularly notice
them. He had sent for his lawyer.
The preliminary examination took
place. Bolger appeared. His two wit
nesses were the servants who had
seen Pearce leave his room.
1t was just as Bolger was describ-
ing the pin and rings that there was
an interruption. One of the other pris-
oners, awaiting trial, sprang up. With
a quick dash she reached the side Of
Pearce. She chung to him, crying out
to the Judge:
He was my friend. He is q good
man. I will prove it."
What is this?" demanded the baf-
fed judge.
See, you, sir" went on the girl,
II am the girl arrested for begging.
Pietro, the padrone, makes me beg.
For that am arrested. l escaped him
through this good man. He found me
out. That man." and she pointed at
Bolger, SAY my friend steal. No,
not was Pietro-Pietro and his
monkey"
What are you telling, girl?" de-
manded the lawyer sharply. pricking
up his keen ears.
II see what Pietro bring home-a
pin, the rings, diamonds. All! that is
his trick. The monkey climbed to the
window. Pietro teach him. He take
jewelry. Come, will show you where
Pietro hide his plumber"
The Judge began to question the
girl. Within an hour officers of the
law visited the den of Pietro, to re-
cover the stolen jewelry.
A free man, with the real culprit
in custody, the first act Of Alan
Pearce was to see that the poor girl
was placed in kind hands.
And when Annette and himself went
to housekeeping, little Carlotta be-
came maid of the happy household.

to afford asylum to refugees.
Foreigners, alarmed at disorders in
the vicinity, had asked for refuge on
the cruiser Des Moines although Gen.
Carranza, in conferences with Ameri-
can naval and diplomatic officers at
Vera Cruz, promised full protection
for them.
Unofficial advices reaching the
State Department today told of the
return to Mexico City of Rogue Con-

surfing protection for the public in the
capital. Martial law would be declar-

with Zapata forces last week, after
its evacuation by Gen. Oregon.

see if anything had been stolen.
After they had all reported moth

He discovered that a pair of blue
serge trousers and new pair of over
alls had been taken. In the trousers
pocket was a purse containing two
