The speaker was a tall young woman; the place the entry of a large hotel at. Bright on, England; the person addressed a page of the establishment. The wo man had started to ascend the sair- case, when the youthful functionary interposed and a?ked her who it was she wished to see. "1 am an old friend; I have been here before," the woman ttdded, as the boy looked dubious. Her smile was disarming; not less so her handsome apparel. "Very well, nia'aiu," said the boy, and tbe visitor passed oo. Half an hour afterward the wo man passed out. A commissionaire asked a waiter standing near him who the woman w»s. "She isn't staying here," lie re marked. "ao--a visitor, I suppose," replied the waiter, and he walked off. The woman was by that time oat of sight, and the commissionaire for got all about her; but he had, half consciously, photographed her face in his mind. Mr. anilMre. Campion were a newly wed couple from Devonshire. Mrs. Campion was a remarkably pretty woman of about twenty-four. Her husband was ten years her sea lor. and resembled a country squire in his air and manners. In the afternoon the pair strolled out, and at tlve came in to tea. At ti o'clock Mrs. Campion's bell tingled with as much violence as an electric bell is capable of betraying, and when tbe page responded to the summons he saw Mr. Campion looking a thun derstorm, and Mrs. Campion, very I>ale, reclining on a fauteuil. **Tell the proprietor I must s.e him at once," said Mr. Campion. The landlord, Mr. Wilson, was speedily on the spot, to learn that Mrs. Campion's emeralds, valued by their owner at £?,0t0, had been stolen. They were secured in a large chest in Mrs. Campion's dressing- room. She^ kept the key of this trunk. The other jewels were in tbe same place, but none of them had been touched, probably be ause of their inferior value. The thief had opened tbe trunk, and the casket containing the emeralds--a necklace, bracelet, and earrings--had been re moved. Mr. Campion did not rave or storm; he simply said that he should hold Mr. Wilson responsible ior the loss. Tbe host replied that the guests bad not taken reasonable care of tbe jewels, and refused to make good the loss. Inquiries resulted in disclosing the fact that a woman had calied that morning, aod bad been allowed by the page to go to Mr. Campion's rooms. l,We don't know any such person," said Mrs. Campion. "It was inex cusable to aliow her to come up to our rooms. I dare say one of these hotel thieves heard of the emeralds-- 1« have twice worn them at parties since 1 have been here--and laid a plot to steal them." Information was at once given to the local poli e, and a description of tbe strange woman who calied was wired to Scotland Yard. The next day Mr. and Mrs. Cam pion left lor London, aLdatonce commenced an action against Mr. Wilson for the value of the stolen jewels--£2,000. The shit was tried, but as the crime was not of a specially sensa tional order, and tbe parties were not known to tbe general public, it excitid little interest. Tbe plaintiff deposed to the facts. Tbe emeralds bad been in the possession of his family many years; they had been valued by experts at £-\<)U0. A witness who bad seen Mra Cam pion wearing the emeralds at Brigh ton, and who was well acquainted with the value of jewels stated in evidence that £2,000 pounds was rather under than over the price of gems so rare and fine. Mrs. Cam pion swore that the jewels were locked in a trunk of which she had the key. It was a patent lock. She had put the casket awav after at tending a party at which she had worn the emeralds. The day of the theft she unlocked the trunk for her maid to lay out tbe jewels, and the loss was then discovered. The maid, Celestel Bardel, who had been six years with |tier mistress, corroborated this evidencl. The defence was * "contributory negligence." Mrs. Camnion ought to have given her jewels into the i er- sonal care of the proprietor; but there could be no question about the neg ligence of the page, who allowed a stranger free acc?ss to the rooms of the guests. The verdict was lor the plaintiffs for * the full amount chlirned. As soon as tbe verdict was rendered the commissionai e, Daly, who was one of the witnesses, whis pered to Mr. Wilson: "Pardon the liberty, sor, but if -I was you, sor, I'd appale." Wilson started. • '•What fbr? It would only be a waste of money," be said. "Oi'me not so sure, sor--it'ud gain toime." "What are you driving at, Daly?" "I don't know mesllf, sor; but I'd appale ft it was me. Your pardon, sor." Somehow the man's manner im pressed his master. He instructed his counsel to give notice of appeal «()* •*& for a sta* <»C execute#. • • * 'h - . ,tk, . . * • f,T. A' 'A'1,' wirlBelflieS seexed to him a useleM and expansive course, but Wileoa was ttrna, and he gave the required notice. The stay of execution was opposed by Mr. Mr. Campion's council, but the Judge would only order that the £: ,000 be paid into court* pending the appeal. Dal v beamed, and when Mr. Wilson left the court he took tbe Irishman with him to the solicitors. "IJow, Daly," he said, when the two gentlemeu were seated, Daly--a former private in tbe Irish Fusiliers, standing respectfully "at attention" --"what have you in that head of yours?" "Why, sor"--saluting--"if.Oi was you, sor, I'd set a ditictive on to't. The gintleman, he's a gintlgman; but there's gintlemen, toff that can do dhirty work; but the lady, she's not the true lady, sor. 1 was takin' a good look at her in tbe coort; an' ye mo ght be afther folnd- ing out, sor, whether thegintlemari*s got the big eshpate in Devonshire; ye see, sor, if 1 may make so bo arld, ye don't know it, sor. ixceipt the gintle man saying its an' bavin' plenty 'o money, an' there's more tb9£ wan way av gitting that" He paused. < * - ,1%. "Well, Daly," safd Mr iTftSotiTthtf solicitor was listening attentively. "Well, sor," he went on, "it don't seem lolke a gintleman to want the money paid down at wanst, does it? Wid any one loikeyerself, he couldn't think ye'd run away widout pavin'; an' he looked black, an' he looked at the lady. Maybe, sor, if you was to pay the money now, there'd be no more heard of Mr. Campion." « "Do you mean to suggest, "said the solicitor, "that Mr. and Mrs. Camp ion are swindlers?" "Faith, an' I wouldn't wonder, sor. There's a many things stranger done than stalin' yer own property." WlJspn sprang to his leet "The man may be right in his sus picion!" he exclaimed, excitedly. "I'll goto Long," a famous detect ive; "It will do no harm, anyhow." The matter was placed in the de tective's hands, and during live days Mr. Wilson heard nothing more of the matter. The public bad forgot ten it already. Then one day, the detective presented himself before Mr. Wilson. "Well, Rir," he began, "I think this is a swindle. I've found Waldon Hall--there is such a place--and Campion is your guest's name; but the hall is a tumbledown place, in such bad repair tbat nobody will take or buy it, w.th about two acres of worthless land belonging to it. The late Mr. Campion's father had wasted what property there was. His son flnished tbe business. Young Mr. Campion was alwavs a blackguard--- my personal description of him was at once recognized--and at the ageof 25 he left his home, such a* it was, and went abroad. That disposes of the honeymoon business. As for family jewels, there haven't been any within living memory. So it's clear that this man and woman are a couple of swindlers, the visitor and the maid their ac omplices. The emer alds are probably paste, and the call of the lady that morning an ar ranged thing. If thau had failed, they'd have worked the job some other way. A3 likely as not the jewels are in their possession now, to be used in a future swindle. You see they were clever enough to flash them about a bit, so that they were seen by independent witnesses." The detective went tb Paris, and there discovered, through the police, that Celeste Bardel, the maid, was known to tbe secret police under several names. Mr. Campion and his wife were also suspected of certain swindles, but nothing had been proven. About a year ago, however, a lady answering tbe description of Mrs. Campion, but giving another name, bad purchased a paste emer ald set--necklace, bracelets, and ear rings--of a jeweller in the Hue de la Paix. The entire set was sold for twenty-live pounds. / There was no doubt whatever that Mr. Campion, of Waldon Hail, was a cunning And accomplished swindler, his good birth and education enabling him to appear to advantage. Of course the money with which he cut a dash at Brighton was obtained in some dishonest manner, but Mr. Wil son was not disposed to rake up his late guest's whole career; his last coup was sufficient to bring action for attempt to defraud, and Mr. and Mrs. Campion found themselves in the dock instebd of in the witness Lox, together with their accomplice, Ce leste; the tall, fair lady remained perdue. Sure enough, the emeralds wece found in the possession of the couple, who were committed for trial. The regular detectives, in the inter val, took u„> the matter witn the re sult that it was discovered that tbe geutieman with the family jewels and his wire were wanted in Beilin and Vienna for remarkably clever frauds. Mademoiselle Celeste was delivered to the French police under an extradit'on warrant, and Mr. and Mra Campion passed a long and aof? altogether pleasant honeymoon in an English prison.--Waverly Magazine. titttctaea In Time.

When tine and regular, the work is realty beautiful, and in imparting this fact to a child will greatly mitigate the woes of her tirst lesson in darning. The evenness and regularity of a darn give it dignity and elevate it into a work of art.

The steers fit for market had been "rounded up»M 4lcut out" and driven to the railroad tor shipment, and af ter two or three days of fun in town, Coon tail and two or three of his com peers, whose services were not re quired en route to Chicago, had started for home; a matter of three or four days ride. By the end of the second day, they had emptied the bottled with which they had supplied •themselves for the journey, and with dry and cobwebby throats were seek ing more. At a wayside store, near the. crossing of Powder River, they endeavored to procure wherewith to quench their thirst, but the proprie tor, acquainted with tbe recklessness of the average cow-puncher when un der the influence of "forty-rod," de nied having any, and directed them to the next ranch, nearly a mile away, and across the stream; but not feeling very secure, as soon as they left, locked his dour and betook him self to the shelter of a nearby "coulie" At the place to which they had been directed they were re ferred back to the first party, and informed that they had been tricked. It did not require much time to re turn, but they found the building closed and locked. Half a dozen shots around the staple holding the hasp to the door shattered the wood to such an extent that a vigorous kick drove it open, and with a yell of triumph they took possession. The head of u kteg, lying beneath the rude counter, presented a target, and at the same time, thoughts of a drink, if tapped. A shot from a revolver tapped it. The pole-and-dirt roof leaped sky ward; the logs composing the body of the building went hurtling over the prairie; canned stuff followed suit, propelled by twenty pounds of powder; and Coontail and h's friends followed the goods.

A couple of years ago we called at tention to the danger and nastiness of putting money coin in tbe mouth. A few days ago we witnessed another exhibition of this filthy habit. We were in the street car going to the capital. A t the Savery House a col ored man got in going east also.

Mr. Selous, author of "Travel and Adventure in Southeast Africa," was on horseback in purs ,it of an eland. He turned to look behind him, and as he brought his head round again re ceived a fearful olow in the right eye from the tip of a dead branch. He bled freely, and as he ^ays, felt "pretty sick," but he could still see the splen did bull trotting before him, some two hundred yards in advance on the other side of the river. The sight kept up his spirits. He got his horse across the river and kepton after the bull. "I felt very sick, he repeats, "but as our camp was only two miles off, and the eland was goin? straight to it, 1 determined to try to get him." The eland kept on steadily until he was within five hundred yards of the camp, "then apparently he winded something, and stopped. Mr. Selous felt that he should soon faint, so look ing at the eland with his left eye, he raised his rifle and sent a bullet through its lungs. Then he remounted and galloped into camp. Some of the men went out after the eland, and the others attended to Mr. S; lous. He soon became h.ilf-uncon- scious, and withal his symptoms were so alarm ng that boys were sent after a doctor who was known to te shoot ing rhinoceros a day's journey awav. tie left his sport, and under his skill ful ministrat 09s Mr. Selous' wound healed, though it was more than a mom h before he could see well with his right eye. Even then the wound opened again from time to time. The next year Mr. Selous returned to England, and one morning while walking down Bond street, London, was seized with a fit of coughing. U£pu have taken cold," said a ft lend who was with him. Mr. Selous said no, and presently he elt something come down one of the ducts into the back of his m ;uth. He spat it out into his hand, and it proved to be a piece of hard African wood,the end of the dry branch which, eight months before, had struck him in the eye on the bank of the Lundaza River, in Mashonaiand. It was not a splinter, but a solid tit of hard wool, three- quarters of an inch long and1 of consid erable thickness. ^Tha last three weeks of "Alutlditf Jr." are announced, anil Chicago will soon say good-by to tbe grandest spectacular en deavor ever put on the A.meric&a stage., Already there is seen an uiiusual amount. ot biiHtlo and activity on and about the Chicago Opera House stave.

On the left bank of the river Oder, in Rati ucr, in Silesia, Germany, there grows a maple tree which is one of the most remarkable works of art in ex istence; for though a tree, and to that extent a natural object, it has been trained, twisted and cut until it has become more like a house than a tree. The tree is one hundred years old, and through the greater part of this time the work of cutting and twisting has been going on. The trunk riBes from the ground much like that of any other tree: but a flight of steps leads to the first level, where the branches have been gradually woven together until a firm and leafy floor-has been made. Above this is a second floor, smaller in diameter, and formed in the same way. Around each floor the branches have been woven into solid walls, mak ing two circular rooms. Each of these rooms is lighted by eight windows, cut through the walls of branches and foliage. Eelow the first floor, at the level of the second, and at the top of the tree the branches have been allowed to grow out naturally, while the interme diate walls and the edges of the window openings are kept closely trimmed. These tree-rooms are occasionally used as a sleeping apartment in sum mer. The old tree is in a heal'hy con dition. and promises to remain as a curiosity of Katibor for many years.

ASSIST NATURE a little now and then in removing offend ing matter front tbe stomach and bowels acd you thereby avoid a multitude of distressing de rangements and dis eases, and will have less frequent need of your doctor's service. Of all known agents for this pur pose, Dr. Piet^e's Pleasant Pellets are the best. Ouce used, tlsey are al ways In favor* Their secondary ef fect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to fur ther constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and their attendant discomfort and manifold derangements. The "Pellets", are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. No care is required while using them; tliey do not interfere with the diet, habits or occupa tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock to the system. They act in a mild, easy and natural way and there is no reaction after ward. Their help lasts. The Pellets enre biliousness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy belchings, "heartburn," pain and distress after eating, and kindred derange ments of the liver, stomach and bowels. In proof of their superior excellence, it can be truthfully said, that they are always adopted as a household remedy after the first trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials, therefore always fresh and reliable. One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are mildy cathartic. As a "dinner pill." to promote digestion, or to relieve distress from over eating, take one after dinner. They are tiny, sugar-coated grannies; any cbilawill readily take them. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be "just as good." It may be better for the dealer, because of paying Hi1:1 a better profit, but he is not the one who needs help. • i -M ' r * * \-JS? * ^ J Xy is very sad faMUgl^ Unrest ia In the air, S' I cannot tell Jut what It few ' > Dyspepsia or despair. mmt is dyspepsia*.: 9/^ 1 pans will dispel it.
