THOUSANDS IN GEMS HAVE
CHANGED HANDS LATELY

This summer has been the burg
lars best season in Chicago. Some
of the insurance companies have been
so hard hit that they have made
rates almost prohibitive. At least
100000 is estimated to have been
paid out by the insurance companies
for gems stolen from homes in the
past three months. Lots were taken,
too, which we're not insured.
There is no way of determining just
what the total steals amount to.
Nearly all detective and police au-
thorities agree that most of the jobs
were done by inside" men. Maids
or buffers belonging to an organized
burglar band would lay the plans and
perhaps do the deed.
Several arrested on suspicion of
having aided in rebbing Mrs. J. Og-
den Armour have been released. Two
more were picked up today. Mrs.
Armour today advertised in the Trib
saying reward would be paid and
no questions asked if the gems were
returned. 1t develops that their value
was but $4,000.

enough to put the youthful heart in a

Two men with Offices in the Wall

and one said he was an early riser
and usually was at the Office before
any of the clerks.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Telegram.

This was the document and these
the words which Deborah. widow of
the man thus doubly denounced. had
been given to read by the father OF
the writer. in the darkened room which
had been and still was to her. an abode
OF brooding thought and unfathomable
| mystery.
/ No wonder that during its reading
more than one exclamation Of terror
and dismay escaped her. There were
so many reasons for believing this
record to be an absolute relation OF
the truth
lncoherent phrases which had fallen
from those long-closed lips took on
new meaning with this unwilling OF
| an unknown past, Repugnances for
which she could not account in those
! old days. she now saw explained. He
would never, even in passing. give a
look at the ruin on the bluff. so attrac-
tive to every eye but his own AS for
entering it's gates-she had never
dared so much as to ask him to do so
Then the watch! Deborah knew well
that watch She had often asked him
by what stroke OF luck he had got so
fine timepiece. Cod was her mind
veering back to her old idea as to his
responsibility for the crime com.
mitted In Dark Hollow? Yes: she could
! not help it. Denial from monster
like this-a man who with such memo
, ries and such spoil, could return home
to wife and child, with some gay and
confused story OF great stroke in
speculation which had brought him
in the price of the tavern it had long
been his ambition to own-what was
denial from such lips worth? The
judge was right. Oliver-whose in
genuous story had restored his image
to her mind, with some Of its old
graces-had been the victim of circum
stances and not John Scovile
Her thoughts had reached this stage
and her hand, in obedience to the new
mood was lightly rutfiing up the pages
before her, when she felt light touch
on her shoulder and turned with
start
The Judge was at her back How
long he had stood there she did not
know, nor did he say, but when upon
feeling his hand upon her shoulder she
turned, he was there; and while his
lips failed to speak, his eyes we're elo-
quent and their question single and i'm
perative.
What do you think of him now"
they seemed to ask, and rising to her
feet, she met him with a smile. CHASTITY
perhaps with the lividness of the
shadows through which she had been
cropping. but encouraging withal and
soothing beyond measure to his anx-
ious and harassed soul
oliver is innocent" she declared,
turning once more to lay her hand
upon the sheets containing his naive
confession. The bastard who could
shoot his host for plumber is capable Of
a second crime holding out a similar
inducement. Nothing now will ever
make me connect Oliver with the
crime at the bridge. AS you said, he
was simply near enough the hollow to
toss into it the stick he had been
whiting I am his advocate from this
minute"
Her eyes were still resting mechan-
icaily upon that last page lying spread
out before her. and she did not OBJ
serve In its full glory the first CLEAN
of triumphant joy which. in all prob
ability, Judge Ostrander's countenance
had shown in years Nor did he see.
In the glad confusion OF the rroment,
