The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1881-08-23

Neusiedler came to his wlfe's rescue,
and told the story over again. The evil
Gence against the Baroness was damn
ing. She had, according to his story,
lived far, far beyond her income and
he had supplied her with money from
the Jews. She had fabricated the story
of the lost necklace to try and cheat
him, but here were her signatures, and
here was the Baron's will, which she
was about try to disregard-bis will
saying that she should never marry, or,
If she did, that she lost all her vast es-
tates
Baroness Rukavina Eltz, what have
you to say to this What is your de-
fense Y'' said the prosecuting counsel.
"Only this |" said the Baroness,
holding up in her hand the pearl colored
pearls and the emerald drops, the real
necklace On the Judges desk lay fac
smile of the famous necklace. The two
ornaments looked exactly alike.
Let an expert be brought and say
which is the real necklace and which
the imitation one, made in Paris, and
used by me to lure this wretched and
dishonest thief of steward on to his
destruction ~ said the Baroness with a
flash of Roumanian fire in her eyes.
1t was true Neusiedler had been foil
ed he had stolen false necklace, which
the Baroness had had made in Rue de
la PaiX.
He has been stealing from me for
years; he has doubtless forged false
will of the Baron, for have found the
true one ~ said Rukavina Eltz. / could
not unravel the net that he has thrown
over me but for this happy thought of
tempting him to steal some false jewels.
Had he got the real ones, his story would
have been plausible. Now, L trust, jus
tice is convinced that it is a liel"
A dreadful noise followed this speech
of the spirited Baroness Neusiedler had
fallen down in fit. Never more would
he drink the yellow-tinted Ruster never
more would lie return to the joys of
crushing the peasantry of Somlyo-of
cheating the Baroness. The Baroness
had cheated him at last. Sold sold
sold with false pearls and emeralds i
Poor Jew poor Jew !
1t was very grand wedding, that of
the Baroness TO Sir Lyster Howard Lys-
ter, who though only an English coun-
try gentleman, proved to be richer than
she, and who made her a loving and a
hunting husband.
The Emperor gave her away, and she
wore the pearl -colored pearls with the
emerald drops, now become historical.
"Ah Madame, dear Baroness, please
tell me where you have kept the real
jewels all these months 7" said the pious
Madame Pasteur, almost kissing the hem
of her mistress robes.
The Baroness was dressed for travel
ing, as her faithful adherent knelt and
asked this question. She had on the
quilted satin red petticoat; the scarlet of
old England.
"Was it in the double locked closet of
the north tower?s"
"Ah, no ! faithful Pasteur, thou know
est Newsletter had the key to that l''
Was it in the jewel case of thy great
ancestress, the Roumanian Princess 7"
mo. Guess again !"
"Was it in the convent of the nuns
of Rez Gibirge 2"
No Pasteur, 1 never gave them
anything to keep but my sinsl"
. Was ii in the Baron's strong box, in
the cellar ?"
No, my dear Pasteur, no. You
have the hiding place under your finger.
They were quilted into the lining of
this red satin petticoat owe the idea
to that good Lady Louisa. See here !"
and gently raising the edge of her trav-
cling skirt, right over her left foot, the
Baroness showed Madame Pasteur a
neat little series of pockets, where the
jewels had been safely hidden in scar
let prison."
