 She put the box with the dog in a hatbox on the closet shelf, pow dered her nose, reddened her lips. Her mirror told her she looked the same as always. Halfway down the stair to the front door she froze, one hand off the bannister, one foot reaching down step. Mrs. By, the landlady, was opening the door for a policeman.
 Run up and throw the dog away" missed a voice within Mabel. But where could she throw it? Maybe she could put it down Mrs Bly's clothes chute. Or perhaps it would be better to walk down as if hadn't been out yet. But sup- pose the policeman went up to her room? Her hand was sticky with precipitation as she lifted it from the banister. Her throat was dry. '.. yes, Mrs. Bly, it's for the benefit of the policemen's widows"
 
 Mebel sat on the step. She moistened her lips with her tongue. With her handkerchief she wiped the palms of her hands and the moist spot at the base of her nose. She rose and went to the street car. At five minutes to 10 she stepped off the car across the street from the office.
 "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven" she stuffed circulars automatically. "What if Mrs. sBly opens the hat box? But she never poked around my room before :" But how had it happened that she, Mabel, had stolen that dos? {? "Stoleni" The word looked at her from every circular she picked up. The rustling circulars and enve- lopes whispered: Thief, thief, thief -" with every movement of her hands.

 She sat on the bed and looked at it. Were those big red letters 'Stolen!" really there? A shake of her head dispelled them. She raised the box cover for last look at the dog Lily would never see.
 A sort of suction made the top draw reluctantly from the box. Then with g. little gasping creak it came off and fell to the floor. The box was emptyi It was only a display! Nothing in it just for showi
 A delicious warmth crept over her. She tore the box into little bits and relaxed against the pillow. A moment later she was asleep.

It was a few minutes before g when Mabel reached the store. From where she stood in the en- tranceway. waiting for the doors to open, she could see the object of her visit-an entire counter dis play of fluffy toy dogs.
 How Lily would love one! She had had dolls, but this would be even nicer than a doll. A wonder full gift for a young sisters birth day; probably the only present she would receive, for hard times had hit her father as well as everyone else back in the home town.
 Mabel fingered the slim purse under her arm. No need to count its contents. It had taken week of skimping to amass the 9S cents she needed for the pur- chase. Ninety-eight cents! Almost one whole days pay. Girls that worked stuffing circulars into en- velopes weren't considered high priced labor. Mabel sighed.
 She looked at the clock on the bank across the street. Almost g. There'd be time to have the box wrapped down in Franklin's ship ping room before she had to start work. She wasn't due until 10 o'clock.
 The doors were unlocked. Mabel went in, stood by the counter where the dog family stood. Be- hind the counter were several pie ture-decorated boxes, tissue bedded, couching dogs of various sizes.
 Mabel couldn't find a price-tag on any dog. She looked for a clerk, No one was at the counter nearby. She blew fluff along the big gest dogs back. How Lily would love it! And what cute boxes they came in! Mabel walked to the next counter. No clerk there, either Two girls were counting boxes of something she couldn't see under a counter farther along.
 She went back to the dog display.
 Mabel fingered one of the big ger boxes from the pyramid. May be the price was on the bottom. Yes - two fifty! We'll, she realized, shed have to buy a smaller one. And they weren't nearly so nice. Lily would really like one of the large ones. ...
 Where was the clerk? Holding the box, Mabel started again to- ward the next counter. She looked up as the revolving door flapped around and released a man, who on down the aisle. Mabel eyes became suddenly brighter. That 98 cents-it meant so awfully much. And this big

MabePs throat contracted and her legs stiffened to 8 stop; her arms turned suddenly to water and the box bumped to the side- walk. The man turned then--and smiled.
 "Not very heavy" he leered, "but too bulky for a pretty young girl like you to be carrying. I better help you"
 Mabel shook her head rapidly. And before the man could recover, she had snatched the box from his

CARS SEEN PASSING
IN CONGESTED AREAS
Roberts Emphasizes Importance
of Express Buses and Re-
moval of Tracks.

Street cars as means Of transpor-
tation. except in congested areas, are
becoming more obsolete each year,
William A. Roberts, peoples counsel,
told the Randle Highlands Citizens
Association last night at the Junior
Mechanics Hall.
The importance Of using buses for
express service was emphasized by
Roberts, who said he had recom-
mended tearing up the tracks east Of
Eighth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast because he thinks the
outlying areas will be served more
efficiently If bus schedules are set up
from this point to outlying sections
An explanation of proposed gas and
light rate adjustments and the pro-
posed subway system also was given
by the peoples counsel.
Action to secure post Office sub
station in the area will be taken as a
result of the Executive Committees
work, A. w. Lee, president, told mem
bers. Until recently, station was
maintained for $3.50 annually. The
lowest offer that has been made for
maintaining this service now is $3.50.
c. A. Barker will contact postal off,
cials in an effort to secure the added
$100 yearly for continuing the service.
A letter from the 1885 Shrine Con-
vention Committee was read and Paul
E. Schmid, Earl z. Wilmington and
Arthur Joll were assigned to work
with Arthur S. Pierce. chairman of
the Celebrations Committee, in an ef-
fort to interest other southeast civic
groups in placing banners across
Pennsylvania avenue southeast dur
ing the convention.

MAN, II, THOUGHT,
AMNESIA VICTIM
Relatives and Investigators Be-
lieve Former Realtor Had
Financial Worries.

BY the Associated Press.
NEWTON, Mass, February 2i-
Three agencies Of investigation-the
Department of Justice, State detec-
tives and municipal police-today
were inclined toward the theory Of
relatives that Moses H. Gulesian, for
mer wealthy realtor who has been
missing since Tuesday, Is a victim
Of amnesia.
There was no evidence, investiga-
tors said, to indicate that the 71-year-
old man had met with foul play
after leaving a dinner of the Sons of
the American Revolution at the Uni
versity Club in Boston Tuesday night.
The automobile in which he drove
from his home in the Chestnut Hill
section of Newton was found parked
on Trinity place, Boston, near the
University Club, yesterday.
Mrs. Gulesian, the former Grace
Warner, a concert pianist, first eX-
pressed the belief he might be a VIC
tim of amnesia. She said he had
been worried lately over financial
troubles and she believed they preyed
heavily on his mind.
AS an alternative theory, she
thought he might have gone to New
York City to view a motion picture
on exhibition there in order to deter
mine whether the plot Of play they
once wrote, Made in America" had
been plagiarized.

MELLON
DEAL UNDER fire.
Aide Denies Ex-Treasury
Head Knew Purchases
of Coal Stock.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, February 2l.-The
barbs of cross-examination were aimed
again today at what the Government
claims was a $5.o00,000 wash sale"
Of Pittsburgh Coal Co. stock by
Andrew w. Mellon to a firm entirely
controlled by his family.
Howard M. johnson. for two decades
financial secretary to the Pittsburgh
millionaire, began his third day on
the stand in Melons income tax case.
with more questions from Robert H.
Jackson, counsel for the Board of
Tax Appeals.
The former Treasury Secretary Is
asking $4,000 refund for overpay-
ment Of income tax in 1881, but the
Internal Revenue Bureau insists he
should pay more than 100000 in
taxes and penalties because of fraud"
in the report.
Part Of Stock Loses.
In his testimony johnson told how
in December, 1881, he sold for $500 900
on Melons orders to the Union Trust
Co. shares OF the Pittsburgh Coal Co.
which originally cost the financier
$6,l77,856. That represented q part
of Melons stock losses that year, he
said
Months later, Johnson testified, he
was asked to find a buyer for the
stock and in April, 1882, it was sold
for $4,000 to the Coalesced Co., a
holding firm in which the common
stock is owned by Paul Mellon, the
bankers son, and Mrs. Ailsa Bruce,
his daughter.
In his cross-examination, jackson
seized upon the sale with the accusa-
tion that 1t passed from Melons
hands into a family controlled firm.
johnson insisted that while Andrew
w. Mellon held preferred stock in
Coalesced he had no voting shares and
could not be said to have q CONTROL
ing interest"
The former Ambassador to England
had nothing to do" with the Pitts
burgh coal stock purchased by Coal
esced, said Johnson. The decision was
reached by himself, as an officer; D. D.
Sheppard, as another officer, Paul Mel
Ion and Mrs. Bruce.
Without Melons knowledge.
'If Mr.. Mellon had known we in
tended to purchase it we might not
have done it." was the secretary's
statement.
In the maze Of intricate matters
dealing with Melons financial affairs,
johnson under cross-examination re-
vealed that as of December, 1881, the
wealthy Pittsburgher's personal" for
tune was carried on the books at S97,-
6O3 ,0O5
He added, however, that II want to
call attention that this does not neces-
sarily reflect true value"
A survey he made, said Johnson, in
dicated Melons personal wealth had
dropped $l5,000,000 from the year be-
fore.
Explaining the s97,OOO,OOO figure, he
said it included q book listing" of a
Joint account" with Melons brother
and $40 900 900 preferred stock in
C0aleSCed, which has holdings listed
at a total of s68,000.000
