One to Be Established in Indianapolis if Dr. Hurtj Can Have His War. Physician of the citv hive conversed with Dr. J.S. Hurry, see.etary of tte tUte b ard of htaith tays be Indianapol's Journal, concerning tie establishment in thai city of a milk laboratory similar to thoe whieb are aid to have been orgatized in other cities. At such laboratories milk is either sterilized or Pateu'ized and thus made entirely wholesome. In addition milk! is so mixed as to con tain food productions in proper proportions for infants of various agta. For instance, Dr. Unity says, a new borr child cannot assimnlate new Jersey milk, as it contains too larjre a proportion t f fats. In these labor a tories milk is mixed to contain just tbe right proportion of fat, sugar and other inered ents suitable for an infaDt of any age. just as is physician may prescribe. An infant a year old, tsys Dr. Hurty, is capb!e of takicg miik containing 4 per cent, of fats, twice as much as when it is but a week old. So on through the calendar. With a laboratory d'u-penfcing milk of proper ingredients for the need of mdivi ual infante, jut as drug e tores dispente medicines that are prescribed. Dr. Huity believes that a l&rtre p oportion of infant deaths should be preven fd, beside whu-h the little onts would live more healtLlul lives on accou it ot using pure food. The secretary of the board Bays that a milk laboratory could ba ' established without much expense. ' The physicians will whom he has dit-cu'sed the idea lo :k upon it with iWvor.

THE BUNCO GiME Worked on a Fair SUed Crowd at th Phillips LastXight.
Of all the rank fakes that have ever
appear in this town, the alleged show
at the Phillips last night was the rank
est: it was positively the worst "that
ever happened," and the police should
have stopped the show on account of
getting money under false pretenses
if for nothing else. I he company as
tar as is known, is composed of three
or four w m n and one man, the for

and before the closing number, which

opened the door of the workroom. He
looked keenly at me, as ir wondering if it would be safe to trust me.
Did you hear anything of what
passed in the next room?" he questioned.
I admitted that I had. "Of course, I shall be triumphantly
acquitted," he announced, clearing his throat huskily as he spoke. "Still, Lord
Lambton can make things disagreeable. And look here. Wade, I haven't
always been as friendly to you as 1
might, but I can trust you. You 11 be
an important w uness. uo w uai you
can for me. for the girl's sake."
I was given no time to answer, for at
that moment Lord Lambton returned
with two Scotland Yard men. My employer was given into custody and taken to the police station to be charged, the detectives remaining to search the premises.
Mr. Nugent being a widower, with only one child, the management of the business practically devolved on me,
and as the detectives ransacked the
place, they put many questions to me
as to where the stones were kept. The safes were all pointed out to them, but
they seemed disappointed with their operations. Late in the evening they came to me In the workroom, and holding out the ring that I had made for Lord Lambton, one of them said: . "This is your work, we understand. Is that the stone you set?" I glanced at it, hut I only replied: "I don't call myself an expert in precious stones, and all I can say is that this one precisely resembles in size, shape and appearance the one given me to set." While this statement was practically true, that one glance had been enough to show roe that I was not looking at. the Lambton diamond. I was about to lock up the place for the night, when Nell came in. It was the first time she had let me see her since her father had been taken away. "There's something I must say to you," she panted "something I've been wild to say all day lest It should be too late, but I dared not let any
one suspect. A month ago father confided to me that he fad lost a great deal of money and he showed me how to open a secret drawer in his Chippendale bureau. "If ever anything happens to me. he said, 'don't lose a moment, but look into this drawer; throw away everything that you will find in the left-hand partition, and keep what ma; he in the right. , Together we ransacked the old bureau, and at length Nell touched the spring which opened the secret drawer.
The light of the candle which i held struck out a gleam from a pile of exquisitely made false stones, which lay in a partition on the left hand, while on
the right was the Lambton diamond.
"My poor father," she moaned, as 1 held her. "He is ruined forever and
I, too. The daughter of a convicted
thief is no fit wife for an honest man.'
"My darling! You are a wife for a king, and as for your father, I swear
to you that I will save him yet.'
Even as I spoke an idea had flashed into my head which startled me by its audacity. In a moment I had thought
out every detail.
I made np the stones, Lambton. dia
mond and all, into a packet, carefully
closing the secret drawer, and contriving to get away without being sees.
a nit w-pnt straight to my
house in Kent, managing to avoid the service of a subpoena. Thus I was not present at the police court proceedings. . Mr Nugent was committed for trial, and meanwhile I stayed in the country working each night in my locked room, with the tools I had brought with me, until the gray dawn filtered under my closed shutters. When I saw my old employer in the dock at the trial I was shocked at the
ghastly change which had come over him. The evidence at first went steadily against him. Lord Lambton swore y,a the stone in the ring delivered to
him by Mr. Nugent's own hand was not ; his diamond. One expert testified that not only was the stone he now saw not the Lambton diamond, but not a genuine Jewel at all. but a marvelous imitation. Another was not so positive. Indeed, he was not prepared to swear that it was false. I Then I went into the box. I was very cool now. for the game I had deterinpd on had cost me many a qualm
of conscience. But I had no intention of cheating Lord Lambton. swearing falsely or tarnishing my personal honor. The preliminary ouestlon of the prosecuting counsel brought out the fact that I had designed the ring's setting, and done all the work upon it "What sort of stone was it your employer gave you to set?" was the next question. "An extremely valuable white diamnnrl ' T renlied.
"Do you swear that you set the gen-
oine stone, and ceuvereu m
fin-shed to the prisoner
stone might have been taken out and an imitation one substituted?" "Certainly. But "I could tell whether the ring had been tampered with since it left my hands." "Take this then, examine it, and inform the court if that is the stone you set." The ring was handed to me and a hush fell upon the court. Tne kind of lull which denotes that a vital point in a case has been reached. I put my hand in my waistcoat pocket for my Jeweler's glass, and the sharpest eye could not have seen that I also drew forth a new ring, made in the secret hours of night an exact counterpart of the other, save that it contained the real Lambton diamond. At length I returned the glass to my
pocket, and with it tne ring wim
false stone. I could near my owu uwi beating, but, handing to the court usher the new ring, paid firmly in reply to the snappish "Well?" of the prosecuting counsel:
"I swear unhesitatingly tnat tne settine of this ring has not been tam
pered with, and that this is the genuine diamond which wa- given me to set."
The doubting expert pricked up nis ...... f : n -r miinSPl Wittl

Lord Lambton and the treasury soueitor. were whisperg over the ring. "MTud," said th counsel. "I ask permission to recall th expert." I stepped out of the box and the expert stepped in.

Lwhen the verdict of "Not guilty was

On our honeymoon we were walking in a lane near Ilfracombe when we came face to face with Lord Lambton, who was stopping with his bride in a neighboring country house. - "Ah Mr. Wade!" he exclaimed.
