The eyes of the two men met and held In cold challenge, cold hostility. Whats yonr motive, Fell? "Ill tell you: Its the Interest of Lucie Ledanols. In the gaze of Fell was a strange earnestness. In those pale gray eyes was now a light of fierce sincerity which startled and warned Gramont Fell contTnned with a trace of excitement In his tone. "Ive known that girl all her life, Gramont and I love her as a father. I loved her mother before her in a different way. I can tell you that at this moment Lncle is poor. Her house is mortgaged, she does not know, Id fact Just how poor she really Is.' Of course, she will accept no money from me In gift. But for her to get a hundred and fifty thousand in a business deal will solve all her problems, set her on her feet for life! "I see, said Gramont with harsh impulse. What do yon get out of It?"

He realized that Fell bad devised this whole business scheme with infernal Ingenuity; had devised It In order to take a hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of hla own pocket and put It Into that of Lucie. It was a present which the girl would never accept as a gift, but which, if It came In the way of business, would make her financially independent Nobody would he defrauded. There was no chicanery about it. The thing was straight enough. Thats not quite all of my plan, pursued Fell, as though reading GramontS unuttered thoughts..

I shall take charge of Lucies money, and within three weeks I should double it, treble it, for her. Before the boom bursts she will be out of It all, and wealthy.

Abe Jackson, colored, was indicted for stealing money from the station agent of a railroad. As the railroads were then under the control of the government, the trial was in a United States court. The station agent, who was white, testified that he did not know Jackson and had never seen him before the day of the theft. Jackson's defense was ingenious. He' did not deny that he got the money from the agent, but claimed that he won it. The presiding Judge seemed astounded at the defense, and asked : Do you mean to tell me that you won this money from the agent shooting craps? Yes, suit."
