elers aad silrersmiths as he came oat of the inner office and walked down to the plated ware coanter the blonde yoans fellow behind the coanter to whom these words were addressed was engaged in pat ting back into its case a pretty little tea- chest cpon the merits of which he had been descanting far the last half hoar to an old lady who oonldat quite make op her mind whether to bay that or a certain rosewood cabinet for- her darter k anas wediin present and who had gone oat to take a last look at the cabinet before making the final dticiiioa at he looked np and smiled deferentially his employer continued kansotn the night watchman has jast sect dawn wcrd that his wifes at the paint of death and as we cant leave the store unprotected vera know and yoare the only single man among the derks and a pretty tough customer in a rough and tumble i guess ycad better stay i all right sir said john cheerfully as he renewed his attention to the teaset but for all his aasamedcheehulnesshewas thoroughly disgusted at the prospect kot that he wocld have objected to making three dollars by sach a simple expedient as sleeping away from his lodgings anj other night in the week battiiis was tuesday aad ii he wasnt oq hand to take ilarian hinton home from the philharmonic re hearsal why that impodent fellow jones woold be and the latter was just mean enocgh to seize the opportunity and make a lot of ensaeenieuta that wocld keep him the aforesaid john oit in the cold for a week however it would never do to get old man chesley downon him by shirking a job or refusing to grant a request so that settled it at ten oclock the store was riostd the diamonds an more valuable contents of the showcases put in the safe the iron shutters pulled down and oar hero left m undisputed possession of the countless treasures which a large jewellers establiih- ment contains but john whose other name by the way was hasiings did loot feel at all overpowered by the responsibi lity he- was a light hearted but adecermid ed young fellow to whom both fear and anxiety were unknown as yet besides he had been od guard doty several times be fore and the naveuhad worn off alter sa disposing hinuwlf as to find the softest spot on thelonngewhich stood beside the large safe in thfi inner office he scan ned lhe evening piper and then pulling out of his pocket a nodi nwcim in the shape of a book entited a xiaaual ofetiquetecr hetjsagesefcroed society soon became absorbed in its coolants and finally fell asleep with his lingers s boolcmarfcinthe midst of chapter x on conduct before the wedding as one by one the realities and surround ings of the present faded from him memory opened her colls and released the images and recollections of childhood and with theua he was led back through dreamland back to that quiet new england home stead over whose wide soft lawn he had rolled and kicked in the untrammelled free dom of infancy about him were the brothers with whom he had played and fought and worked and studied his way through youth to early manhood there was the low vinecovered cottage tbe well with its decrepit but picturesque sweep and the shed spreading its protecting roof over a nondescript collection c boxes and barrels while the cart stood oat under the old apple tree with nothing but the gnarled limbs and scanty foliage to shield it from the elements the orchard sloped down to the brook and through its leafy vistas came glimpses of the meadows stretching away ia the october sunlht to the sleepy little river under the trees were scattered heaps of ruddycheeked apples while from the creaking ciderpress there flowed a golden stream of nectar sweeter than any kerchief down closer upon bis face 1 john was neither a dude nor a dissipated wreck altlioagb he was a clerk tod a city lerkat that both nature and professor blaiktc a art had combined to reader him strong and active l as hi felt the press are of the hand upon his throat he doubled himself npititfa the rapidity of lightning and theforooof a steel trap the e5ect of this manoeuvre was to bring his knees against the middle of his aasail- anl back with a shock that sent him fly ing over tbe head of the conch while john rolled after and fell upon his prostrate body then ensaed a struggle that smashed the office furniture to fragments and filled the air with the dasiof agesaccnmulaledocder the carpel they were evenly matched but the anesthetic bad rendered john a little groggy as tbe pacifists say and his motions were uncertain he had sense enoagh remaining bow- ever to throw himself against the button which louaded a private alarm at the near est police station whenever they approach ed in their journeys back and fourth across the room and to yell police t as often as he could catch his breath his efforts grew gradually weaker but help was coming for just as his assailant gained the mastery there was a terrific pounding an the door and shutters with the derated to open in the cirae cf the law drawing a short dab from his pocket the burjlsr struck his victim over the head with all his might then diving into ibe cellar aod crawling up oat of the back coal hole through which he bad effected an en trance disappeared from the scene forever when the police at length effected an en trance they found hastings insensible upon the floor bat he soon recovered for his sknll wis tolerably thick and the chloro form nstd by his midnight caller was of a quality in tbe morning a little bag coniaing dia monds was found lying cpon the floor where the robber had dropped it in the struggle i gncss this belongs to you john as there doesnt seem to be any other claim ant said old ilr chesley bet alas they were all prononuced to be piste and jchns momentary riches took to theazselves wings and her away after the quite too usual fashion he laughingly dubbed them the crown jewels and poured them all into marians up with the remark that as such they should remain in the custody of the queen that demure little woman went into ecstasies aver the pretty jewels there was jast a touch of romance too in having a 5 oung hero whohad fought with robbers come andiay bis spoils at her feet even if those spoils were only paste diamonds one of the imitation gems was of great sise and beauty sharply cut of 1 light canaryyellow color and utterly without blemish it was as pure as a ray of sun light but much more substantial as it weighed a matter of 130 carlts ill be hanged if i shouldnt believe that to be genuine it it was only- a little smaller said old ilr cheslsy as- he held it up to the light bat if there ever was a pure diamond of that size no one oat an eastern despot could ever afford la own it john had it i in a plain gold pin for slarian to wear in her hair and christened it the kohincr 0 bow lovely exclaimed all her ad miring friends when she appeared with it shining amid ber rich brown tresses whit a pity it isnt a real diamond bat at tbe came time they rejoiced exceed ingly in the depths cf their envious little souis that ifwasnt a real diamond the summer came and the kohinor still flashed in the hair cf its queenly little owner but no more definite understanding was established betweea the donor and wearer of the jewel jones i till skirmished about the field of action aud by miking fcuddea dishes within johns lines of de- fesce would carry off marian as a prize to occasional parties and sociable- one morning hastings came down to the store with the kohinor in his hand it had fallen npon the ballroom floor the pre ceding evening and some had stepped upon and crushed the setring on the threshold he met mr kurtz the janior partner and diamond expert who represented the co portion of the firm name and who had just returned from a year of travel and stady of tbe great gem collections of europe what hive ypu there v asked mr kurtr as in shaking hands his eye caught the glitter of the kohinor nothing hut a big paste diamond re plied john handing it over for inspection the decc it is 6aid the expert as he turned it in the light ill risk my repu tation on its genuineness its worth a 100000 if its worth a cent and the eequel prored the aucnracyof his judgment i shall do nothing of the kind pro tested marian when john tried to make her tike back the now almost priceless jexel i should be no better thau swindler obtaining money under false pre tences yea didnt mean to give me a hun dred thousand dollars when you tossed what was supposed to be a worthlessbauble into my lap in vain hastings urged it cpon her eaid he should have given it to her just the same if he had known it to be worth a mil- lion and that it was hers by right cf pos session since she had owned aud worn it for nearly a year the only sign of relen ting which he could get was the suggestion with a shy smile that we might share it together no if the court knows itself said john as his arm slipped around a slender waist in his immediate vicinity without meeting any determined resistance i suppose i shall have to keep it since yoa say its mine bat hi carry my point yet im going to torn it into cash and devote all the

from pile of apples rotting in tbe son- it grew stronger and stranger until it seemed to almost over power him and he awoke to find his nos trils filled with that deadly odor not a relic of ins dreams but an unpleasant reality exhaled from a handkerchief saturated with some fluid and lying an hts face- it was chloroform bat at tunings j first movement and before bis balf stupefied intellect grasped

was timothy donnegan a rowdyish p mm oral fellow whohad some hold on my affections because of bis dexterityin running jump ing ballplaying etc sports of which i was passionately fond while walking with donnegan one morning he found a horseshoe and becom ing loquacious over the good lues was swinging it about his head when uninten tionally it slipped away and went crashing through the window of a druggist striking the apothecary a stinging blow on the wrist at first i broke into a ringing laugh and stood looking at the shattered glass cpon taming around i saw that donnegan had disappeared leaving me to escape the impending demands for satisfac tion as best i cchld foolishly t started when it was too lale to run cp the avenue the irate pharmacist followed had the race been apothecary vs john h i would have proved the better man bat a blue coated policeman joining in the chase so terrified me that my knees began to weaken and i was soon captured on tbe accusation of the druggist i was marched to the justices office which was a room in tbe city prison fifteen or twenty boys attracted by the sight followed ns the shame and indig nation which filled my soul as i passed throagh the streets the gazing stock of the crowd cannot be effaced from my memory one thicg i determinedmy mother should never know of my disgrace i would refrain from disclosingwho 1 was regard less of consequences the house in which my parents resided was so situated that its rear windows were overlooked by the rear of the city prison a space between the buildings allowed an ample yard which we used as a lawn after reaching the justices office i was soon called upon to give my version of the affair which i did omitting donnegans name and giving as the name of my father d k jones which name i had seen on thai door of an uptown residence the assertion of the druggist that he saw me deliberately throw the shoe induced the judge to detain me a few hours until word could be sent to my father accord ingly d k jones was informed that his sou was under arrest mr jones it happened had a young son and not being able to find him when the officer called concluded that his boy was the victim of a mistake and with all speed he histened o the justices office where he much sarprised that worthy by dis claiming all knowledge of the accused this occurrance prejudiced my case and tbe justice heretofore kind in manner sternly ordered that i should be detained for- the night i was led up three flight of stairs into a long room in the farther aide of which were two windows overlooking our yard the door was closed behind me i was a prisoner the peculiar heart sickening sensation sometimes experienced by those who when visiting prisons are detained longer than they desire that feeling al most overpowered me it was about five oclock i had eaten nothing since breakfast my courage be gan to fall nevertheless the determina tion to conceal my identify was diminished impelled by irresistable curiosity i walked to tbe window on the lawn my mother was seated her actions indicated that she was uneasy but as yet not positively alarmed once before i had absented my self from dinner without notifying her and he doubtless thought that this was a repetition of the offense suddenly she lifted her head i thought her eyes were directed toward me and al though the shadows made it impossible for an outsider to see more than my form i quickly drew back about half an hoar lather entered the yard i saw mother speak to him he was evidently much alarmed for he im mediately harried away soon after my mother went into the house o how my heart ached to call out mam mal mamma the intervening space would probably have rendered the ry use less but pride prevented me from making the attempt hour after hour i kept watching our door and windows hoping to see some pne i laved intense shame and strong fear of being discovered racked my soul about ten oclock the gas jets were lighted at aomeand i 6aw the shadows of forms hurrying to and fro t i evidently the whole household had been oat on the search and having returned without success were wild with apprehen sion- with me the passing time was a long drawnoat agony instead of the goodnight kiss and the wishes for sweet dreams and sleep un touched by eyre i was a prisoner throagh the misdeeds of another and for the first time experienced intcnie poignant mental suffering aslgaied at our windows it was cot difficult for me to imagine what was tak ing place behind them the frenried mien of father the sobs of mother and sister the direful supposition of them all t would have surrendered years of life to assure them of my safety and yet not for hie would i have my mother know my whereabouts it was a false pride but i could not suppress it how long i remained at the window i do not know it must have been after midnight when i fell exhanflted upon a small cot visions of flashing lights and of myriads of angry pharmacists all in hot pursuit of me troubled my slsep early in the morning i was awakened and brought down stairs i was taken into the justices room there stood my father pale and weary but yet withlove and happiness portrayed on every feature au my hopes for concealment were spoiled an indiscribable sense of relief filled my being in the midst of sobbs and smiles 1 explained everything the druggist molli fied by ft twentydollar bill withdrew his charge without delay twas almost carri ed home by my dear father- soon i was in my mothers arms- what indescribable joyl such is the stpry- ox the display of the oscclatobt pbocess it was in a trowded train jnst startim from a city station men women and cmdren were harrying about finding seat and arranging luggage bat loud above the clatter of the noisy depot rose the shrill voices of half a doaen schoolgirls it re quired oo extraordinary amount of pane tralion to discover that kan and bess were going home for tbe holidays and that fan nell see and madge were seeing them off chatter chatter ran their live- ly tongaea and ripple ripple pealed forth their merry giggles at last the five-min- ate dong sounded and then such a scene a sensued nan aud bess were bagged and kissed aud kissed and bugged by tbe four others individually and collectiveiy the aisle was completely blockad during the demonstration and those girls swarmed over at least half a car finally the four departed after several falsa alarms aod frantic returns for just one more then a window was raised the four on the outside gathered around it and the fol lowing conversation ensued hope youll have a lovely lime kiss the baby lor me write me as soon as you get there give mamie a good hag wish i had had a chance to kiss sadie before i left theres the bell kiss yoar mother for goodbye kiss then they all kissed their hands to each other and in the momentary hush that fell on the car a yoaog man was heard to say every one seems to be coming in for a
