The mice go dancing in and out To melodies she sung When fashion trod the minuet •And Washington was young. Around her on the garret floor Her shining satins trail; A haunting sorrow dims her eyes; Her face is proud and pale.

A Bit of Eavesdroppiafr That Led to tho Rig-ht- ’ ing of a Great Wrong. \ ♦ By George Lincoln. £ The judge fell into the way of watch ing them naturally euougb. After the court adjourned in the early afternoon he always took a ride on hi.s bicycle and never failed to visit the beautiful, stretch of boulevard recently opened along the string of lakes. They both came of good families, or at least well to do families, and their manner led him to think there was breeding behind them. How, then, did he come to know that they loved each other? you ask. How was it possible not to know it? He was not always past 50, and he had a good memory. So when the Judge noticed the way “he” looked at “her” and the way “she” looked at “him” and the tender ness of the young man’s courtesy the judge knew well enough how matters wore. She was a beautiful woman, not over 20, and gave one an Impression of trig- ness and neatness. A woman would say she wore a becoming suit that lil ted her. She was petite, with one of those fresh, sparkling faces so seldom seen among overworked society girls. He was a manly chap of 22, athletic, bronzed and thoroughly “tit,” as my nephew says. My nephew plays on the “varsity” football team and Is author ity in our family on such matters. And they noticed the judge. After awhile he got into the way of bowing to them, although they didn’t know he was Judge Storrow, and he didn’t know them. One dreamy Indian summer after noon the judge went up among the trees on the side of the lake to a shel tered nook he knew and lay down to rest. There had been a puzzling case before him that morning and while thinking it over he must have fallen asleep. He was suddenly aware that just outside his shelter a man and woman were talking. He knew not what to do. lie soon discovered that they were “his lovers,” as he called them, and they were discussing some unhappy circumstance regarding their affection. What could he do? There was no way out except past them. Would It be better to come out and so let them know he had heard their talk, or would it not be more delicate to remain till they had gone, not listening, and they would never know any one had over heard them? He decided on the latter alternative and remained perfectly quiet. Hut, try ns he would, it was impossi ble not to hear their whole conversa tion. ‘‘Hut what difference does that make?” asked the young man. “You know perfectly well, Alice, that if it were a thousand times worse—that if It were yon yourself—I would marry you.” “Oh, but think of it, Ned! Think what your friends would say! ’Ned Grant married the daughter of an em bezzler serving his time in jail.’ ” The judge couldn’t help wondering If this were the son of Grant 9n the supreme bench, whom he had never met, although he knew his father inti mately. The girl’s gentle voice broke as she said this, and Ned cried: “Oh, Alice, I wish you wouldn’t think of that! It just breaks me up to see you cry. you know." Then followed a silence during which Alice must have been In some way comforted, for she said In a steady voice: "No. my dear boy. I have been very weak to see you so often and have (hese rides. I should have refused and tried to forget you. But, Ned. 1 could not. I can’t think of anything but you -■and—1 do love you so!” More silence, then: “And, Ned, this really must be the last. I can’t marry you. No. dear, please don’t go all over It again. I know that it would be a great wrong to you to say yes. It would always he a hindrance to you. We would have no friends, and a young lawyer must have friends. Who would come to your house If they knew your wife was the daughter of Rand the embezzler?" That was where the Judge almost discovered himself. He sentenced Rand to 20 years’ hard labor, and he had still 15 years to serve. It was a queer case and not quite clear. So this was the motherless girl he had heard so much about. "Now, hoc here. Alice.” the young mail said, "you know it takes two to make a quarrel, and It takes two to make u separation. Ho while you may think It host not to see me again I shall not give you up, and I shall see you every opportunity I can so long ps R doesn't bother you. Had knows all about It. am) |«p’h with me." The Judge wanted to shout "Good for dad," hut he didn't. Then they got up to go, and after mother longer silence they left him alone. He knew all about the trouble, and pretty mean he felt about It too. As lit* rode slowly home he turned the little tragedy qyer and over lu bis ptiud, urn) Hit* mm* Ire Uioujjht gboyt tVflie more he felt that lie had made a mistake by staying ami listening. At last he evolved a plan calculated to ease his own conscience and give the young man Some courage. So the judge seut him this letter: Mr. I <l«\in (irani —I I141I ttie misfortune to over rent part oi vonr ooiivcr ution will' Miss Itarnl to- din, althoiigcli in quite an accidental manner. It, m I Kunnisc, arc the son of Grant of the su prenie, von are made ot the iii?lit sort of stuff to let-aid Mi— Band's views as only a temporary ob stacle to yoor Inippines-. I sentenced Band, and it you care to call on me I should be glad to see iou. I’erbaps we may think of some arguments to make Mi;* Rand look at the case differently. At any lute. I agree with his honor, your father, ami am also “with you.” Vours, Robert Storrow. The next day Die judge was obliged .0 go to :t distant city to act as referee In a cast*. The Rand case was almost purely a circumstantial one and hung on the handwriting in which the false entries had been made in the hooks. The handwriting experts all agreed that the entries had been made by Hand. Indeed the prisoner admitted as much. He had pleaded “not guilty,” and when he fdmitted the identity of the handwriting there was little left to do for him. His counsel was completely battled by the admission, and Rand re fused to explain it in any way. Try as he would the lawyer could elicit nothing 1'irther, and the jury had to bring in « verdict of guilty. It could never be found how Hand had disposed of the sum he embezzled. In fact, not a penny of the missing money was ever found, and the hank charged it to profit and loss. Hooper, the president of the bank, was in constant attendance at the trial and expressed great sorrow for Rand. Shortly after the sentence Hooper left the hank and went to another city, where he engaged in a private banking and brokerage business. It was in this city that Judge Storrow was now sitting. One night at the club the conversa tion drifted round to money and bank ing. The Judge made the remark that he wished to procure a letter of credit for his niece, who was going abroad, and some one suggested Hooper’s house as the best place to get It. “Ry the way,” said his adviser, “you sentenced the cashier of the bank of which Hooper used to be president, didn’t you?” The judge said he did. “Well,” continued the man, “that’s tho way some men treat those who have been kind to them. My wife grew up In the village where Hooper and Rand were hoys together. Rand was not in very good circumstances, while Hooper had plenty of money. At that time Hooper was quietly buy ing up a great deal of land through which he knew a railroad was project ed. He let Hand in on the ground floor, lent him money and then, when they realized, collected Rand’s notes, and in this way they both made money, and Rand’s share was a moderate fortune to a man in his circumstances. It was not many years before Rand had lost his money In foolish investments. Then Hooper got him the position of cashier in the bank where he was president. It seems pretty tough for Rand to have stolen all that money. The directors asked Hooper for his resignation, of course, and lie was obliged to come here and start fresh.” Now, tliis was a part of the story that the judge had never heard be fore. it little agreed with his personal Impressions, which, of course, had nothing to do with the “law and evi dence.” He had an idea that Rand was not that sort of man, and, curi ously enough, lie had acquired an an tipathy for Hooper. That night he woke thinking of the case. Gradually he found himself forced to a conclusion for which there was little reason—he somehow thought that Hooper was the guilty man and Rnnd the innocent. He had known a few similar cases of quixotic gratitude. The next day he called at the bank ing house of Hooper & Co. As lie was leaving he met Hooper face to face. The man went white and staggered against the door jamb as if be bad been struck. “Why—how d’ye do? Why—I didn’t expect to see you,” he stammered. “Anything we can do for you?” The judge looked him square in the eye and said, “No, Mr. Hooper, nothing you can do. unless—but never mind now.” And be gave him a peculiar look under which Hooper quailed. The judge had not gone two blocks before one of Hie clerks came rushing after him and said Mr. Hooper wanted him to come back. He found Hooper striding the floor and mumbling to himself. “My God, Judge, do you know?” he cried. “1 know you are a scoundrel,” the Judge replied, surprised out of his self control. “I did it, judge; I did It.” “I know It,” calmly replied the judge. “I came to this city because I couldn’t stand meeting you, and 1 have never had a happy or an easy moment since. I’ve lived in constant fear of apprehension.” The judge looked at him and could scarce restrain his contempt and Indig nation. Stepping back, he turned the key In the lock and put It into his pocket Then he went to the telephone and told police headquarters who he was* and asked them to send him an inspector at the banking office. “Now,” be said, “before either of ns loaves this room you are going 4o write the whole story. You will sign it in Die presence of witnesses, and inside of two weeks Rnnd will be a free man. You wlii be arrested Rt once, but for two weeks, for my own reasons, you Will continue to conduct your business, and a headquarters man will be always with you. You can explain his pres ence iji any way that you like. Now, ait down and write.” Hooper shrank from the task, but the Judge Insisted. Wbcq he had flu- tsfoed and ^vrs ready to sign, there came a tup at the door, and a strnngef was usheret] In. He locked the door after him. and the judge had a low conversation with him. The confes sion was duly signed and witnessed. It set forth Hooper’s necessity to ob tain funds further than those available t}mj how he had taken from time to time, showing Rami fictitious uotes, so that Hand had every reason to sup pose the bank was making loans. In short, he had made the entries In per fect good faith, and then when the stealing was made known he had kept ■lleut, remembering all the benefits received, it was of course » question- I lUJe U>4m {or Uia to a* CPWldorUlf A Knotty I’rohleiu. W. B. Holmes, of Charleston, has made a remarkable find—the body of a man dead for several years. He has made inquiry at the governor’s office thus: “If a body, buried some years ago. is washed up by the tides and on that body is found the sum of $160, does this money belong to the parties to whom the land belongs where found, or does it belong to the state? If to the state, does the state give a reward for information leading to the recovery of such find!” The governor told him to report lo the coroner. There is no less than $10 000 worth of building going up in Gaffney just now. and ail of that is in resi dences. There are six pretty and convenient homes being erected in the fifth and sixth wards. Tils fninlly lint thciv was no ilnuhting the nobility ot tin* mnn's character. Thai niglii tin* judge started for home, having dispostsl of the case. There the next day he laid Ihe confes sion before the governor anti his law yer. who took tin* preliminary steps to release Rand. That evening Ned Grant called, say lug he had failed to llntl the Judge at home on previous evenings, lit* knew enough of law to appreciate Home things the ,fi due told him “Now,” said the judge, “this tangle can he straightened out.

He had told her about the judge, and she blushed prettily when lie was intro Uuced. After lie had explained at some ; leugtli that his eavesdropping was quite accidental lio* began to argue again with her on the matter. She took the same high ground as before - that it was doing Ned a wrong. And she had a pretty good case too. At last lie said: “So there is no way of turning you? You would marry if your father were not iu prison for embezzlement?” She nodded, anti the judge silently handed her a long typewritten docu ment. It was Die witnessed confes sion. Rand had been living quietly with the judge for the last few days and knew the whole story. Ned stood near carefully watching her, and as the door opened noiseless ly lie saw John Rand waiting for his daughter to look up and see him. She read it through without looking up. Theu as she lay back in the chair she caught his eye and ran to him with a cry of “Father! Father!” Hooper is still serving his time.— Chicago Record.
