Lift up your hat, said the citizen.
The prisoner did so.

''Oh. yes" said the citizen, you are Bob

years ago and you thought no one would

"Search him. said the judge.
The man was scar ched and in deep hip
pocket he was found to have a collection OF
watches and purses wonderful to see. Gov.
Foraker's watch was in the lot. The mys
terry of all the sneak thefts in the hotel
was cleared up by the booty in this pocket.
In the other hip pocket was a big six
shooter.
Its mercy the man did not pop a Dall

to six months for carrying concealed weep
ons, sir, and when that term is out we will
try YOU for burglary"
You must be a republican," said Mr..
Woodruff 10 the court.
II am, sir, said the court
II thought so,n Mr.. Woodruff replied.
That is the most rapid work | ever saw.
We are pretty rapid in the east sometimes,
but this beats us all to pieces"
When Mr. Woodruff went to the desk of
the Grand Pacific to get his key that day
the proprietor was there. He asked if he
was addressing Mr.. Woodruff.
We'll sir" said he, 1--WE have had four
Pinkerton detectives at IS a day stopping

You have done what they did not do. You
have caught the thief You will pay no
board in this hotel. sir. We could not ac-
cept it,"
Mr.. Woodruff is on his way to Chicago
to attend the trial Of the thief. His many
friends will be panied to hear that he is not
in good b alth His ailment, a small tumor
ON the lip, might have been easily arrested
except that he found no good doctors left in
Brooklyn a week or SO ago. They were on
their Vacations An inferior one mis-
judged his disease, and he packed up and
came here to see his family physician at a
time when longer delay would have been
very dangerous. Good treatment has done
wonders for him, and he will soon be en-
tirely we'll.
Jacob Dreicer, the diamond dealer who
made the sensational sale of jewelry to
George Laws friends, the sluggers, is a
Saratoga character he seems us soft and
amiable and flexible as a maiden, but that
is merely his way of accomplishing his
business.
There is more looking at diamonds than
buying them" he says. That is true Of
every place In the world. If | had 5 cents
a look from all who come here | would soon
be rich without selling a stone"
As it is, the shrewd fellow says he is
merely paying his rent and his fare back to
New York.
sit is queer business" he says. people
think a man buys diamonds when he has
made a little extra money. 1t takes more
than that, tell you. He buys diamonds
only when he feels good. If a man feels
just right, diamonds seem just the thing to
invest in for himself and his wife. If he
didn't feel good they might us well be so
many bricks. Suppose man made a pot
of money, and got up with headache, or his
wife made him cross by refus ng him some
thing-he has no use for diamonds then.
The littlest taing that crosses a man who
has diamonds in his mind will drive them
out"
He knows another thing. does this shrewd
dealer IN luxury. He knows enough to sell
his goods in tue store, and nowhere else
the store is my stage" he says. There
is whore | play and understand my part. Ii
a man takes diamonds away to his hotel to
show to his wife l might as well give him
up as customer. she shows them to one
lady The lady is envious. Isn't that a
flaw in that OneF she says. She shows them
to another. Beautiful says that lady
but | like 'em clear white, or rosy or what
ever color these don't have. She shows
them to third lady, and that one says:
They're splendid, but Mrs. Jones' are big
GER That settles it, particularly as the
husband mas been told by one man that
he saw finer pair sold for less money
once.n
''Has Mr. Law sent you his check yetF'
Mr.. Dreicer was asked.
"Well, it doesn't matter what he has
DONE" he replied. Mr.. Law can have my
whole store if he wants it,"
Col. Thomas P. Ochiltree is really far
more Of a sufferer through the advertising
that George Laws spree got for tuaU erratlc
millionaire than is Law himself. Col.
Ochlltree was SO far from sharing, in the
remotest way, with the mercenarles who
profited by LAWS generosity, that ne was
doing his uttermost at the time to protect
Mr.. Law from them. He bad taken Mr..
Law to his room, and meant to keep him
there until they had gone, but some OF tlen
admitted themselves, by me means or
other, and induced him to go out. Then
came the added misfortune OF mistake in
one word in a letter of denial and explana-
ton that the colonel caused TO be put in a
Saratoga paper. The telegraph ran two
sentences together in such Il way that they
did not MAKE sense, anu the Sun, which
meant no Injustice to Mr.. Ochiitree was
made TO say: II have never asked or re-
ceiYsd pecunisry favor (of MIR Law ex-
cept in this particular instance" What
Col. Ochiltree really wrote was: II have
never asked or received pecuniary favor.
In this particular instance his brother, Mr..
Samuel Law, who is now here, is perfectly
cognizsnt of his action and will vouch for
my sincere and disinterested friendship for
his brother"
The colonel dips into Latin in the stress
Of his feelings over this error, and re-
marks, Lev there be justice though the
heavens tall" in tones that stir mems
hearts, though the Latin is slightly vague to
most Of the summer population.
