In The case of the Board of Com.

against Mrs Verna DeArmond. for
merly stenogTapher in the county
court: In 1919 Mrs. DeArmond sued
the county commissioners for work
performed in transcribing records and
documents for which she had collected
fees, which fees were turned into
the county treasury. The lower court
awarded Judgment in her favor. The
supreme court in an opinion by Com
missioner Bleakmore. has decided the
case adversely to the claim of the
stenographer, thus setting a precedent
that is likely TO cause much disap-
pointment to many stenographers in
the courts of this state.

Part Of Regular Duties.

The opinion held that the legisla-
ture had not intended that stenogra-
piers should have fees other than the
salary fixed by the law for their work.
The holding is that transcripts are a
part of the county court stenograph-
er's regularly appointed duties and
that the only compensation to which
such stenographer was entitled under
the law was that salary decreed by
the statute. The stenographer's steno-
graphic notes of proceedings, the
court held, would be valueless if not
transcribed. and that the stenogra-
pher must make transcripts of such
records as were desired and when de-
sired.

All night she tossed and
thought, and tried to solve heI
problems. But In vain! Morning
came at last, and when she did
not appear in the kitchen for
breakfast, the various members
Iof the household knocked at her
door to inquire for her health.
And this gave her an inspiration.
She would be ill-too i'll TO see
anyone but Matilda. The wonder
full lies Mr.. Pyecroft had told on
the spur of necessity the night be-
fore stood her in good stead now.
So when Matilda brought up
her tea and toast they consulted
together and decided the plan
was a good one. Thus 1t came
about that the mistress of the
house entered upon her long ex-
lie in her second maids attic
room.
Below stairs the question of
supplying food for the five adults
living in supposedly eiapty
house became the great problem.
Matilda could come and so at

Jack threw aside all pretense and
let 1t be known that he was sleep

So they solved the food problem
by patronizing several groceries
instead of one, and all went very
well for a time.

 That the thing Mary had not pected them to do She had been certain some how, that still another copy, perhaps the Harry had been making, was going into that frame, and her whole plan had been based upon that certainty. She knew that Melnotte had been in communication with famous collector, a rival of Crogan, the lender of the Monna Wanna to the Columbian Museum, named We'll ington Watson. And she had been sure, too, that she had seen through the plan they had made to hoodwink Watson. Now she completely baf-

I'm more certain than ever that Harry's going to steal the picture. And if you're going to be in the store you certainly ought to be able to find out who they're going to sell it to!'
 .aThat's what puzzles me-" said Mary. ''They must have some plan. This picture is too well known for anyone to be able to show it as his

 The next day Mary reported to Melnotte and went to work, and Mona resumed her copying at the museum For few days nothing of inn portance happened.
 He keeps me upstairs, most of the time," Mary told Mona. I'm sorting out a lot of things he has there in sort of store-room. There's a copy of your Monna Wanna picture, by the way, that looks quite old, and that is pretty good imagine"
 Its been faked to make it look old, prob ably" said Mona. Well, haven't so much to report.

 "Too bad about Harry" said Mona "He could have made good artist.'
 T suppose it is the old story" said Mary bitterly. Just as it was with us. If we'd had a chance to make living without the schemes we've had to resort to, we'd have been right too"
 So the next day Mona gladly accepted Harrys offer to help her with the finishing touches her copy required. She thanked him, when it was done, and went away But she lin gered and saw him come out, and then she re- turned and took up the watch from a nook she had discovered in her wanderings in the museum It seemed, however, that she was doomed to be disappointed for Harry did not return, as she had supposed he would.
 Mary, however, him come into Melnotte's and she was able to hear him tell the dealer that he was going to turn the trick' about noon.

 He passed out of Mona's ken then, of course, but passed into Mary's soon as he reached Melnotte's. Neither at all suspicious of Mary She had rendered herself thoroughly un- obtrusive since she had come to work, and they took her pretty much for granted. That suited her very well because it increased her op- nortunities for observation tremendously.
 She managed to see Harry take the stolen picture and show it to Melnotte. And then she saw something that surprised her. and upset all her calculations. They took the real art treasure,

 That's perfectly true," said Mona. But Harry doesn't waste his time. You may be sure that if he takes the risk of stealing the Monna Wanna he and Melnotte have got a purchaser picked out for it already"
 Wont the theft be discovered at once?"

when there would be few visitors. When he went out with the copy of the Monna Wanna that she had found in the store- room hidden under his coat, she telephoned to Mona, who had agreed to be in a certain pay sta tion near the museum. And Mona at once hurried back to her hiding place, just in time to be out of sight when Harry resumed his copying.
 She saw him take the spuriou Mona Wanna from under his coat: saw him. too, cover the back of the copy with paste. Then. very swiftly and ueNterOuSly, ne cut the real painting from it's frame, and substituting the copy, smoothed it down. And, after he had hidden the Monna Wanna, he calmly sat down and resumed his copying! An attendant passed soon aft erward, but saw nothing wrong, and Mona wanted to applaud Harry's cool ness and nerve. He gave absolutely no sign, as the man passed him, of being
