"I want to engage your servioes in a business way, and I'm quite ready to you," .asid Martha, producing an apparently well-filled purse, and plac­ ing it t^>on ikie table. "I'm not one of your extravagant sort, but I'm not mean neither.

Yet the ex-detective thought the flash of her eyes and the ^ ^|uick rush of color to her cheeks be- , canae her wonderfully, while he rather admired, than otherwise, the decision her tones.

Martha (Chale paused aud fixed her dark eyes Upon him with an expression of cou- temptuons astonishment.

"I lioxed his ears onoa for tcying to the passacre on » the staircase; I m.n paid Martha, impressively, i hadn't no call to be jealous of me.

That is the . Season I come to you instead of com­ municating what I know to the police." ^, ^ "You said you didn't know anything about the robbery," said Mr. Gimblett, fluick^y. "I meant, of course, that I had noth- f to do wilh it myself. Bnt I know . who did it," rejoined Martha sharply. "O. ! I see. Pardon me." led by Mr. Gimblett's hasty -W yti i * ttat- . „ „ , . , corn- listened to with increadng te- "I dare say you are right," said Mr. G iinblett, when the had concluded her recital. "But it sounds strange. What sort of a msn is Mr. Mortimer?" _ "He is younger than hb wife. Mar­ ried her for money, and gets precious little of it." was tho significant answer. "If you are right- of course, yon ere cot absolutely sure," said Mr. Gimblett, quite humbly--"I have no doubt I can manage matters so that you wont be annoyed any longer." •"That is what I want. Mind, you den't carry the matter any further," said Martha, rising from her chair, "if you won't take any money from me," she added, "I won't presi it on yon, because I daresay you will make him pay your exj enses." It Mr. Gimblett had required any further proof of his visitor's shrewd­ ness, the last remark would have fam­ ished it. As he rose to open the door for her he was seized with a sort of sudden nervousness which he had never before experienced. He took her hand in his with the deliberate intention of giving it a fatherly sqeeze indicative of admiration, but upon meeting her gaze lie abandoned his subtle design, while a faint tinge of color came to his face. It was not until he Jiad been alone for nearly five minutes that be Completely recovered his equanimity, and then he' felt unaccountably ashamed of himself. However, his self-esteem survived the shock, and half an boor later he sailed forth with his usual calm and confident air and manner, to make a few inquiries on his own account about Martha Chsde and her story. The lat- ler, as far as regarded the robbery, he found perfectly correct, nor did there seem any reason to doubt that the girl was perfectly innocent of the afi'air. The police wero watching her, it is true, but thi* was chiefly owning to the instructions of Mrs. Mortimer, and not because they had grounds for suspect­ ing her. As a matter of fact, the jewels had been taken in a manner which left absolutely no clew to the perpetrators of the thelt. For his personal satis­ faction, Mr. Gimblett ascertained that Martha Chale bore an excellent char­ acter. and when out of a situation lived with her mother, a respectable woman, who had brought up a large family by her own exertions. Fortified by these details, Mr. Gimb­ lett resolved to have an interview with Mr. Mortimer without delay, for his sudden interest in Martha Chale prompted him to lose no time in earn­ ing her gratitude. He therefore took an early opportunity to pay Mr. Morti­ mer a visit at his club, thinking he was more likely to be able to see him alone a good deal surprised upon the defect­ ive's being ushered into the strangers' room at the Blenheim. He received him, however, civilly enough. "Your card informs me that you are a detective officer," said Mr. Mortimer, who was a florid, overdressed, rather handsome man of 40, with a shifty and and a weak chin. "An ex-detective, sir, to be precise. I thought, added Mr. Gimblett. lower­ ing his voice to a confidential whisper, "you would sooner, I called npon you here than at your own house." "It all depends on what you have come about," said Mr. Mortimer, with an uneasy laugh. "It's in connection with the alleged robbery of jewels at your house," said Mr. Gimblett, with startling abrupt­ ness, looking him straight in the face. Mr. Mortimer dropped his eyes to the carpet beforo the detective's gaze, either bom au4den nervousness or from constitutional inability to meet a direct glance. He put his hands in his trous- er-pockets, and, looking at the toes of his boots, merely nodded. "The fact is, there is a young person who used to be in your service who seems to be unjustly suspected by the police--or by somebody," said Mr. Gimblett in his most incisive tones. "She is being watched and inconven ienced, though she isn't the guilty party." "You mean the girl Martha--Martha Chale, 1 suppose," hastily added Mr. Mortimer. "Well, I don't suspect her. My wife sent her away. I think it was devilish hard lines!" "So it is. In fact it's persecution, and must be put a stop to." "It isn't my fault," said Mr. Morti­ mer, sulkily. "I can't do anything in the matter." "You will have to, sir. or else " "Or else what, sir? What the deuce do you mean V" cried Mr. Mortimer, blazing up. "Well, sir, Miss Chale don't bear you any malice, but she does happen to re­ collect your starting off on a journey with a small valise on the evening of the 7th of July," said Mr. Gimblett, significantly. "It might be desirable to investigate that little trip. Y'ou were supposed to have gone to Birm­ ingham on business, but " The ex-detective's remarks were in­ terrupted by Mr. Mortimer suddenly turning round and making a tremen­ dous rattling in the empty grate with the poker, apparetly oblivious of the fact that there was no fire. But ere he effected this transparent maneuver Mr. Gimblett had remarked the guilty glow which had suffused his brow. "Jit wouldn't do, of course, for Mrs. Mortimer to suspect," resumed Mr. Gimblett, quietly, as soon as he could make himself heard again. "No, no. Come, out with it. Jjet us have no beating about the bush. What is it you want?" inquired Mr. Morti­ mer, dropping the poker and fidgeting about the mantle shelf. "Only a letter to the police-inspector, that 1 can deliver," said Mr. Gimblett, readilyi "Nothing more thpn that" Mr. Mortimer hurried y seated him­ self at the nearest table and took up a pen. "What shall I say?" he inquired. "Only that you have reason to know that Martha (/hale is innocent of the robbery, and request that the police will cease to annoy her," said Mr. Gimblett, glibly. "Reason to believe--not know," said Mr. Mortimer, commencing to write. "Know," repeated Mr. Gimblett, emphatically. " Know," exclaimed Mr. Mortimer, as he rapidly dashed off the note. "What shall I >ny, though, to the police, if they ask me what I mean ?" he added, look­ ing up. "They won't, sir. said Mr. Gimblett. "And my wife neen't know anything about this, I supposa?" he continued. " Which, sir ? Oh, you mean the note to the police. No,sir; certainly not," said Mr. Gimblett. "Very well. There you are then," said Mr. Mortimer, flinging the sheet of paper aceoss the table. "It's rather a delicate job, sir; may require a little oiling," said Mr. 'Gim­ blett, coughing behind his hand. "How much?" demanded Mr. Morii­ mer, after an uneasy pause. with this I'll manage that," hand! fc*u»! view politely Mortimer opened the door to him, look­ ing particularly sheepish and crqst- Mr Gimblett chtlckted to himaejf when be got outside, and prooaed«4 hi the direction of Pontlund yard. hNfrfng lirpf- RpcfTely ftOT*cl the .+'10 note. Whether tho "oiling" proca&e gxtenSed beyond Mr. Gimblett hintself is by no means clear. Suffice it to say that five minutes' chat with the inspector having charge of Mr. Mortimer's case, the pro­ duction of the letter, and a few nudges and winks exchanged over a friendly glass, seemed to show how tho land lay. From that day forward Martha Cha e ceased to be a suspected person, even as a matter of form, and the mystery of the robbery was considered to be solved in a manner not altogether un­ common. Shortly after this Mr. Gimblett had to go over to Paris on business. "Miss­ ing persons traced" was one of the an­ nouncements upon his professional prospectus, and this branch afforded him plenty of employment. The Sup­ posed elopement of a publican's wife with a sprightly grocer's assistant was the cause of his visit to the French capital on tli's occasion, and in*course of his inquiries in connection with this thrilling case he picked up a little piece of information which recalled Martha Chale vividly to his recollection. Perhaps if the truth wore known her image suggested itself to his imagina­ tion rather frequently, for there is no denying that for the first time in his life Mr. Gimblett found tho gayeties of Paris decidedly depressing, and was constantly detecting fancied resem­ blances between casual passers-bv and a certain young woman who had im­ pressed him so much with her clever­ ness. But the trifling discovery he made in Paris suggested an uncomfort­ able suspicion as to whether Martha Chale's cleverness had not been rather too much for him. In other words, he began to have a disquieting idea that the young woman had\made a cat's- paw of him; and, what was worse, he learned to doubt whether she was ro- ally as innocent of the disappearance ot Mrs. Mortimer's jewels as she had pretended. Upon his return to Eng­ land Mr. Gimblett made some inquir­ ies which resulted in his paying Miss Martha another visit in a frame of mind which wavered between furious indig­ nation aud b tter disappointment His perturbation was increased by a strange longing that he might after all have wronged her, and this charitable senti­ ment came uppermost when he met her face to face. "Miss Chale," he said, as soon as he got an opportunity of speaking to her alone, "you remember the story you told me about Mr. Mortimer ?" "Yes; I do," was her calm reply. "You declared you had seen in the valise he took away with him the jewels that were supposed to be stolen," pro­ ceeded Mr. Gimblett. "I know I did; but it wasn't true," returned Martha, returning Mr. Gimb­ lett's look almost defiantly. "I know it wasn't true," retorted tho ex-detective, unable to conceal his re­ sentment. " I have discovered the mys­ tery about Mr. Mortimer's little trip. I have had an interview with the lady." "You seem to have taken a grol deal of unnecessary trouble," said Martha, tartly. **I could have told you all about his goings on." "Well, you made a fool of me any­ how !" exclaimed the inspector, more crestfallen than angry. "You might have gone to Mr. M. yourself; but neither you nor he would have known how to manage the polioe." "That is why I came to yoii|,' 'aaid Martha, with a nod. - "Yes; I understand that. It was very clever of you, miss. May I inquire your object?" demanded Mr. Gimblett, with ironical politeness. "I was so closely watched that I couldn't aid him to escape," said Martha, for the first time looking slightly embarrassed. "Him! Who?" inquired Mr. Gimblett, sharply. "The party that did it I was keep­ ing company with him, and I was fool enough to--to believe in him. He came into the hou-o once or twice when I was alone, but I don't know how he managed to take the things. The loss was discovered before ho had time to get away, and he went into hiding--being' new at it, I suppose!" "I should think so," fiercely ejacu­ lated Mr. Gimblott. "He swore he wouldn't stir without me, and I began to fear he would do something desperate. I was afraid to go near him while the police were about, and so I com e to you." "I see. And what became of him?" inquired Mr. Gimblett, his admiration for Martha's striking abilities lor his own line of business overcoming even his resentmeut aud jealousy. "I packed him of," said Martha, la­ conically, "to America" "Are you to follow?" asked Mr. Gimblett, with a sudden thumping at his h art "Not L The man is a fool and a coward. I couldn't marry either one or the other," said Martha, in her matter- of-fact way. "Besides I'm honest." "I knew you were. I could have sworn it!" exclaimed Mr. Gimblett, in a tone which seemed to disconcert even the imperturable Martha. "But, I say," he asked, abruptly, "you never let a cur like that get away with so much swag." "No; hell be disappointed when he arrives over t he water. He thinks he has it all, but it is up-stairs," with a lit­ tle laugK "Bravo!" cried Mr. Gimbletf, s'ap- ping Jiis knee enthusiastically. "i was goinx to ask you to contrive somehow to take the things back to the Mortimers," said Martha. "I don't like keeping 'em in the house any longer. "Quito right- Leave everything to me. Do you know, Miss Martha," said Mr. Gimblett, Incoming suddenly con­ fidential, "that there's a reward offered which would do nicely to furnish a cot­ tage for a newly-married couple." "ihenitwill come in convenient," said Martha, quietly. "it will, Martha, if you will only con­ sent," cried Mr. Gimblett, suddenly seizing her hand. I'm older than you, but we're suited for one another in every way. We should run well in double harness, my dear, both in busi­ ness and domestic life." "You was ssy ng I've made a fool of you once," remarked Miss Martha, neither elated nor indignant, but sim­ ply matter-of-fact; "do you want me to do it again ?" Mr. Gimblett's only answer was to imprint a kiss on the substernal hand he held between his own. For a mo­ ment Martha Chale's dark eyea flashed furiously, and she looked inclined to box his ears.

"This, then, is what you meant when you •aid that more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it, Doctor.'" "Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people to-day, which in reality are Bright s disease in some of Its many forms. It is a hydra-headed monster, and the slight­ est symptoms should Strike terror to every one who has them. ^1 can look bark snd W call hundreds of deaths which physicians de­ clared at the time were causei by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malar­ ial fever and other common complaints which I see now were caused by Bright's disease."

Nearly every week the papers record the death of some Irtominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, the increase has beea checked, and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy." "Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. War­ ner.'" "A prominent pro'ossor in a Now Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class On the subject of Bright's disease.

Caster as a Ladies' Man. ' Gen. Custer was very fond of ladies' society, but was nerer what is called a "married flirt." He enjoyed the society of ladies because they were pretty, or bright, or intelligent. He was too true to liLs wife ever to have been a flirt. He visited the house of a young l dy friend of mine very frequently when he was ib New 1'ork; they liad known each Other for years, and were the best o£ friends. The waiter, William, being a new hand at the door, evidently took Gen. Custer for a beau of his young mistress, and to her great amusement always announced "the General" in the most confidential whisper and just the faintest suspicion of an approving smile. Gen. Custer said that his manner to him was that of a servant to a probable master. One day at the dinner table, the young lady asked particularly after Mrs. Custer, when she was eommg to j New York, etc., etc. Well-bred ser­ vant that he was, William almo t dropped the dish he was passing, and his complexion from charcoal turned to mahogany. 1 think he was very much disappointed, for he greatly admired the brave cavalryman, and from that day out he announced in formal tones, "Gen. Custer!" as though there had never been such a person as "the Gen­ eral" of his dreams.--Washington In­ dependent.

The "vol a l'Americaine is played in many ways, but a quite common method' is follows: In eominfc out of a rail­ way on on the arWtal of a train from tne country, a gdbdPnatnred, un­ suspicious man is met by a gentleman bearing a bulky sack. The latter is, so he informs the first, a stranger come to Paris to amuse him­ self and see the great city. He does net know the capital, as it is bis first visit, so he says. He offers a hand­ some present to the innocent Parisian to show him "the sights." The other accepts. They enter a cafe and take a drink. The stranger suddenly mani­ fests anxiety in regard to his sack, tell­ ing the other that it contains more than '25,0)0 francs; he fears he may be robbed. So they go out to some vacant "lot near the ramparts and bury it. They commence again to drink and amuse themselves. Again the stranger is disturbed by apprehensions as to the safety of, his sack and contents. He begs his newly made friend to go and dig it up, while the owner will await him at the cafe. The innocent con­ sents, and as he himself might go away with the sack, the owner makes him leave his watch, jewels, and money as security for his speedy return. He goes and unburies the sack, which contains nothing whatever save pebbles! As to the Btianger, he has long since disappeared with the securities, and the unsuspicious innocent never sees him again. This "dodge" is a stupid one, well known to every Parisian, re­ counted in the daily papers at least a dozen times each year--and yet it al­ ways succeeds, and always will succeed in certain cases.--J.
