What Mn. Walters Disclosed to Lillian and Mad@c.

Iomctimes I fancy that Lillian IderWood possesses ;tn uncann9' |pnotie influence over people. OE |rse, I know this theory to be the |ie.st%drivel. but l can explain in no her Way tho instant acceptance oy auditor of hers Of any proposition Itch she may advance.
 For instance. 1 knew, and Arthur E,lters mus have surmlsed, that EIian in reality had but the most Atchy of rrameWorks upon winch to E7strllct the theory of Kenneth bckbridgc's innocence which she so
 hfident1y advanced. Yet I think 1t Iurred to neither of LIS to doubt her |oWledge Instead, we accepted her tement with the same joyful, chlld- |e faith as that manifested ny |etty, youthful Esther Walters, who Lsped her hands together at Lil- |n's words and, with her eyes fixed |miringly upon Mrs. UnderWood's ee, exclaimed fervently:
 FsOh, Pm so glad!
 Lillian turned smiling, friendly
 es upon her. s.
 "Thank you, my dear, she sald ftly, with evident pleasure at the tribute. Then she, turned to us with a little I of deprecation that sat funnily ,on her after her absolute confi-
 nee of the moment before. I am
 ed to such contradictions in %Lll- ln, but 1 think MT. Walters was lzzled for a moment orftwo.
 "Of course, l realize that you must low I have no real authority for .ch a sweeping statement" she said, yut I have the strongest kind of a-a- 1nch-I guess I'd better call it for ant of a better word-that I'm ght, and from long experience I've armed to follow my lunches. They most invariably guide me to the ght trail"

 COT course" Arthur Walters saiu nromptly, but I knew that he was disappointed, that in the last few minutes had been born the hope that he might convey to the worried at torneys for Kenneth Stockbridge the news that Lillian, whose standing i'll service circles he evidently knew, was working in conjunction With thelh' brought to them through his instru- mentality,
 The Secret Safe.
 
 went on, that you will have to take the esponsibility-and, incidentally inc credit or the discredit--for any services Mrs. Graham or l may De able to render MT. Stockbridge. If you will do this, if you will report to MT Stockbridges attorneys any dls- coveries of ours as having been made by yourself, we shall be able to work unhampered and report to you from time to time anything we may find out
 The young attorneys face c1ouded. The innate honesty of him IS printed upon his countenance for anyone to read I could see that the thought of taking credit for ideas or work which he did not himself furnish was exceedingly repugnant to him. Yet his common sense and his loyalty to his friend triumphed over his scruples.
 "Of course, am at your command in all things he said quietly after 6 perceptible pause.
 "Thank you,'' Lillian said heartily, ''and--I know what it costs you," she added after a moments scrutiny of his flushed face.
 The next minute she had changed her voice and manner completely, was once more the dominant driving figure of our conference.
 Now to business,' she said brisk ly. '<I am not going 10 repeat to yon what MT. Stockoridge said in his letter to Mrs. Graham, for it concerns something so vitaDy personal to your . friead that I know he wishes no one to know of it if possible. Mrs. Gro~ ham only stum b1ed upon it by acci- dent. hence his confidence in her. But this thing you must know. Mr. Stockbridge's private desk is still in his former office in the Bayview school. It is vital that this desk be brought here to Mrs. Graham ms house and kept here until after the trial of your friend.''
 Arthur Walters permitted himself a start of surprise
 Do you mean the small one?" he asked, then rushed on without wait ing for an answer. T was with the detectives from the state attorneys $ office the day they went over the schoolhouSe with a fine-tooth com b for cleWs. They searched both desks thoroughly and found no scrap of anything but school papers in either of tlem.''
 I gave a little inward gasp of re : lief. So the secret drawer was still a secret!

A load of straw which had been

discovered the flames. He was one
of the men from the farm who
brought the hay. and said he was
sitting on the wagon, which was
standing in small alleyway be-

he smelled smoke. lI1e looked

A few minutes later another alarm
was rung from Box 1872, at Walnut
and Balm streets.
Hot Ashes Probable Cause
In the garage is a furnace. and
next to it window, which opens
into the alleyway where the wagon
load of straw was standing. 1t is
thought that some one firing the
furnace threw hot ashes through the
window and they landed under the
straw, setting it on fire. The flames
spread so quickly that the stable
was in flames and dense volumes of
smoke were pouring skyward when
the first stream was played on the
fire.
Mr.. Schmidt refused to state the
property loss on the value of the
burned contents of the stable.
