have covered the cost OF the good clothes and
the education she had been afforded at the
pleasant school on the South Coast.
She had been old enough when she left. a
YEAR ago. 10 have experienced some anxiety as
TO what her future wiuld be when she went
away from school for the last time But the
same friend who had guarded her and watched
over her in her chidhood's years had made
arrangements FOR her start in life. She was
taken into John Kerris's Offices
There was all this 20 think Of. but one great
overwhelming thing still remained. John
Kerris WAS the man who had denied her father
a chance. n was he who filled that dread role
OF the foreclosinE mortgagee who had broken
her father-killed him.
For some time she was robbed OF all ability

that saw nothing.
She was awakened TO her senses by Miss

She had been in the office now nearly year.
and while she was aware that she had IN
teligence. and had soon adapted herself to the
routine OF the old-established solicitors office.
there was no denying that her rapid advance
ment had been not a little due 20 John Kerris's
liking for her. II was all the more amazing
because when she had first come from school
John Kerris had informed her with hardly so
much as raising his head that her status In the
office would depend entirely upon her merit.
Now from keeping the stamp book and such
minor duties she had risen 20 the highest posi-
ton possible in the firms employ place

She tried to make her laugh a genuine one
but Mabel could see that the lines about her

in putting her above the head OF this Woulah

The names. in the careful lettering OF the old
confidential stood out
Tyson Sylvester. Yes. that Mabels
father. She recollected something In conncc-
ton with the name-something that happened
ten year, ago.
She picked it up. In minute or two she
rose involuntarily from the chair. and her lips
shaped Mabel. Miss Sylvester"
For she saw what the girl had concluded
from the document-and she knew it was all
a mistake

ris had not foreClosed.
That there had been an execution upon Mf.
SylveSter's property through the firm she knew
20 be true. but II was not on account o. John
Kerris who held only fifth OF the mortgage
OF ten thousand pounds. money really lent as a
friend
To the inexperienced girl this would look 20
cover all But John Kerris had withheld hts
hand. and left Mr. Sylvester with the small
amount Of money out OF the wreck that had
become Mabel's patrimony. Miss Fouldes had
herself taken Mr.. Johns deed into old Mr.
Kerrison tho day of the principal mortgagee's
execution and put b before him as foreClosed
She had helped In deception. The then head
OF the firm was an old who would have
hated 70 see clemenCy in matter of business
IN his son. and Mr.. John dared not cross him.
Mr. John had given tho deed To her next day
10 put away and she had put 10 In that old box.
Anna Fouldes breath came quickly. That
morning If SHE had not been overcome with
her pique and envy Of Mabel. she could have
made some excuse To get her out OF the room.
Withdrawn the document and saved the girl

terinE
The opposing evidence"
Anna Foudos stood a minute or two looking
down az the document. No doubt Miss Syl-
ycSter. like tho highly strung girl she was. had
gone from the office never TO return. She
knew something OF the girls life, and a great
deal more OF her temperament n would be
like her 10 make arrangements that very after

In that minute or two a voice whispered in
Anna Foulics car.
Why not let her go and keep your mouth

else could til no"
There WAS a struggle in her breast. hut TO

Yet was legal Men would call Il fair.
John Kerris had done nothing but what he had
a right 10 do.
Yet right or not she could not remember
the wreck he had made OF her fathers life and
let remain in her breast the feeling that had
surely been growing for him-love. That was
why she expected more OF John Kerris' She
knew nov she had come to love him. And OF
a man she loves a woman expects much.

Improvement Work Stopped.
Because of the high water that has
prevailed on the Mississippi almost
since the day of the opening Of navi-
cation this spring but little improve
ment work has been done by the gov
ernment fleet along this part Of the
river and it has been tied up in the
harbor here most of the time.
A few days ago it was believed the
water was getting low enough to make
feasible the building Of wing dams, so
crews were assembled and work start
ed both above and below Dubuque.
Now the river is rising again with
prospects of two or three feet more
water before the end of the present
week and it is belived work will have
to be suspended again.
Captain Edwards, in charge Of the
work along this part Of the river, is
hopeful that this rise will be only tenn
porary as he has much work that
should be completed before the close Of
navigation this fall. He Is expecting a
considera BILE slice Of money for addi-
tional work as soon as congress gets
thru with the new rivers and harbors

MAYOR BLAMEs JUDGE.
"Golden Rule" Lenieney Of Court II
Oes Moines Boosts BootIeounu

SeS NoiueS boosts oootIe9Sin9.
Des Moines, July 10.--That District
Judge Hubert Utterback has carried
his golden rule" policy from the police
court to the county criminal bench,
thereby hindering efforts 20 enforce the
liquor laws in Des Moines and Polk
county, Is the allegation of Mayor Mac
Vicar in a statement issued today.
"Leniency that is Illegal in the ex-
IRENE has hated the just prosecu-
ton of LIQUOR violators," SAID Mayor
MacVicar. Il am not rying 10 pot
Judge Utterback in a hole. On the con-
traly. | am seeking a way to curb the
tremendous amount of Bookkeeping that
is going on and to punish offenders as
strictly as the law will allow. l think
that Utterback's leniency has abetted
the VETS"
Extracts from the district court rec
ords are used by MacVicar to uphold
his statements. These citations show,
the mayor says, that in nearly all of
the cases the minimum fine was i'm
posed and then suspended on promises
Of good behavior.
The mayor claims that no one except
the governor can suspend fine for
bootlegging, The fines, in addition,
were stretched out in a series of pay
ments covering several months. &C.
cording to the records. In many in
stances no payments were. made at all
and in others only one small payment
was made.
IF we can secure proper penalties
in court it will put more ginger in the
police officials said MacVicar. by
plugging up all the leaks the condition
Of bookkeeping prevailing can be
checked
