DR.. McIIugh had heard Of the dou-

The supreme Cou reviewed the evil

convicted man rad received a fair
chance to save his life.
The Governor made an exhaustive ex-
animation of the testimony and am
nounced n few weeks ago that unless
the Board of Pardons urged a strong
reason for action he would let the law
take its course.
The threats made against my family
and myself do not worry me-" he said.
"My duty II plain and | shall not be

It was a large framework Of smooth
boards covering the front Of a fifty

It was about twenty feet high.

This may be worth investigating"
Way down at one corner end Of the
big sign, sure enough, a narrow door
showed. The poster sheets covering
1t had been cut so the door would
swing inwards. Noble pushed it open.
He supposed this was a convenience
for the owners of the signboard, so
they could get behind the sign to re-
pair 1t or strengthen its supports when
necessary. What was his surprise,
however, to find steps leading down
into the vacant lot, about its middle a
wandering tool shed, made over into
a quite presentable living structure.
And what the further surprise Of

living, to observe neat attractive flow

young girl, sewing. She looked
startled as the young man somewhat
embarrassed came towards her, his hat
in his hand, an apology for intruding
upon his lips.
Naturally Adrian Noble explained
to the young lady his mission. She
was Immediately interested and heard
Of the case for the first time. She was
drawn irresistibly towards her hand
some, bright-faced visitor. She even
joined him in the search for the blue
wallet, but the quest was fruitless.
Gradually Noble learned her strange
history. Her father owned the lot.
1t was valuable, but he had spent all
he had in litigating with a claimant.
All the time in their humble abode,
however, he had kept in possession.
Mr.. Warren worked in a factory near

and sewing for a department store.
They had managed to clear the lot
between them, but the taxes were be-
hind. Another thousand dollars saved
and they could borrow enough to build
a store structure and receive a good
income from the investment.
After that Adrian Noble forgot all
about the blue wallet in becoming a
regular visitor to the place. Those
two innocent spirits seemed made n
for the other and John Warren did
not object to their new friend.
One evening Noble arrived at the
lot to find the sign in ruins, a severe
windstorm had blown it down. The
sign owners had given it to Warren
for kindling wood and were going to
build an entirely new one. Noble as
sisted in pulling the mass apart and
piling up the loose board. Suddenly
he uttered a wild cry.
"The blue Wallet" he shouted.
Yes, there it was-pasted under the
poster sheet as a hiding place by the
dead thief and come to light at last.
And SO the reward was gained, CIV

Hardly Likely,

Some time ago an elderly gentleman
was cycling down a narrow street in
Waterford, when a dog suddenly
rushed out from a doorway and, get
ting under his wheel, threw him on the
ground in a sitting position. The dog,
seeming to enjoy the situation, circled
round and round, barking playfully. A
boy who was passing at the time stood
staring at the performance for a few
minutes, and then asked in a quiet
tone:

the dust off his clothes.
