at.once, and found Miss Darlington there,
who greeted me with one Of her brilliant
smiles, and recognized the Introduction
of Mr.. Arthur Milton by courteous bend
I saw Queer look for moment in the
eyes of the detective, and then it passed
away, and then he entered with ksen
zest into the charm Of female society,
which he seemed to enjoy as much as any
man | ever saw. He was the one to lead
her to the piano, to bend over while she
played, to turn her music and applaud
her skill. All at once his eyes began to
CLEAN, and he bent closer to her.
You have fine ring there, NJ ISIS Car
rington,' he said. What pity you have
lost,o1e Of the stones. How would this
fit it?
She was looking at him with a strange
intentness, as he heldin the palm Of his
hand the diamond / had picked up.
1T is queer thing, butt believe this
is just the thing. I got it from a person
well known in New York-Samuel May
ford the detective Ii that moment she
knew him, and her lips grew .white ;
but he was not the man to expose a lady
unnecessarily. Say you must go, he
whispered, I will attend you. 5@ 11-
She arose II a moment, as calm as
ever. -..
I think l must leave you, Aggie,' she
said, M:. n ilton i'll attend me to the
hotel-I won't take Mr. Warreu away
So they parted, and she went out with
the pseudo Milton, and Aggie never saw
her face again [ told Agnes what a
dangerous friend she had nale, and left
her -
Mex t day there was secret meeting
in one Of the off ces OF the bank, and Mr..
Swain was there, and Miss Darlington
appeared, escorted by Mayferd, who had
kept her in his charge. Mr.. Swain re-
ceived his mon ey back, as he declined to
prosecute, ard the dashing young lady
was set at liberty, and left town On the
next train.
l walked back to the hot it'll May
ford, who was ia musing fit. In his
room he broke out,
There you have an example Of a noble
woman gone astrag, he said. She told
me in confidence that her only reason for
seeking your Agnes was that she was won
by her pure and good womanly attributes.
If Kate Farley-for that is her true
name-bad other training, she would
have been good and noble woman. AS
it is. she will go down deeper into the
black pit towards which she is tending
and sink at lastinto its depths.
l am now partner in the rm of Ea-

suIcrnf VS.. MURDER.

Massachusetts, through its supreme
Court, has enunciated the doctrine that
an attempt to commit suicide is no
crime, and, ergo, if the attempt Is 70
violation of law, no misdemeanor or iei'
ony the consummation of the act pits
the victim far beyond the reach OF hu-
man tribunals and cannot be crime.
The reasoning by which the learned chief
Justice reached the solemn CONCLUSION
must have been taken from the grave
digger in hamlet, who, under the
{" GROWERS quest law" finds that he
that is not guilty of his own death short
ems not his own life" no matter how deS-
perate may be the attempt Of suicide.
Henceforth Boston will be the Mecca OF
suicides--the Leucadian rock from Which
they can pFeoipitate themselves; nay,
they may get rid Of fife by leaping from
the top Of Bunker Hill monument with
ont let or hindrance from the magistrate,
because the suicides exercise right
guaranteed by the State through its
Supreme Court. Hereafter no person
hould seek the waters Of the Mississippi
to find suresase of sorrow, or take large
doses of laudanum or strcyhnine within
the corporate limits of Memphis. They
should 20 to Boston, take long, hnger-
ing look at the land of the Pilgrims and
die in a legal manner, like agood citizen
of Massachusetts,, in obedience tn the
laws. The remains of the suicide will
be respected by the Supreme Judges as
was the body of Ophelia by the clowns
First Clown-"I Is she to be buried in
Christian burial that wilfully seeks her
own salvation2" Second Clown tell
thee, she is, and therefore make her
grave straight; the crowner hath set on

The Empire Of Russia, as we know it
