FOND OF JEWELRY.
Ven Who Carry Sparkling and Valuable Gem
as Pocket Pieces.

Wen Who Carry Sparkling and Valuable Gems
as Pocket Pieces.
because man displays no ieweIrv I'D
on his person it does not signify tbet he
doesn't care for such THINGS" said Editor
Rochlld. of the jewelers. Weekly, the
other day.
"Thera are plenty Of men who are
as passjonately fond of jewels as any
woman who ever lived, but they seem to
regard the feeling as a weakness which
they are half ashamed OF. Some men
will own right up, but they don't like to
display their treasures, because il is not
considered good taste TO wear much
iewelry.
Il know of half dozen business men
and professional men who do not wear SO
much as watch chain; yet they carry
about in their trousers pockets thousands
of dollars worth of unset jewels. This
is a little out of the ordinary, but it is a
fact nevertheless.
The late Henry Ward Beecher used to
carry in his pockets number of beauti-
full diamonds, pearls and other precious
stones, which he would sometimes take
ou5 IN his hand and gaze at in admir-
alton for several minutes at time. He
explained this habit by saying that there
was something so pure and beautiful
about the gems that they delighted and
fascinated him. He used to say that it
was one OF the traces of our far back bar
barian origin-the innate fondness for
bright gems.
II know of physician up town, who
while riding about in his carriage on
sick calls, entettains himself by iingling
lot of unset diamonds, rubies and emer-
aids IN his hands. He sometimes groups
them on the seat opposite and looks al
! them, while his face is lit up with admir-
alton and pleasure.
do ladies have this habit? Well,
think not. [ never met woman who
cared to hide her jewels in her pockets
On the contrary, they always like to have
them set and displayed as conspicuously
as possible. They don't believe in hiding
the light of their gems under bushel.

Fooled the Thieves.

CT NATTI.-A bold attempt was made
to rob the southbound express on the
Cincinnati Southern railroad near Lud-
low Wednesday. The train was moving
slowly up the heavy grade just beyond
that place When masked man knocked
at the rear ooor of the express car ard
was admitted by one of the messengers,
WHO supposed it was the conductor or a
brakeman. The robber went at once to
the other end of the oar where someone
else was knockir g vigorously. The first
was at once seiz by the Messenger and
assistants and thrown off the car after a
desperate struggle. The other then
seemed 10 realize that something was
wrong and stopped knocking. The train
was stopped by the messenger but the
robber had disappeared. Whether the
other man was injured is not known.

Mr.. U'brien in Jail.

William O'Brien was on Thursday
lodged IN the Cionmel jail to undergo
the sentence of four months imprison-
ment imposed on him at Barrick on SUR
for offences under the or mes act. When
ordered to remove his civilian clothing
and don the prison garb, Mr.. o Rrien re-
fused 70 obey the order, whereupon he
was seized by the warders and his cloth
ing forcibly -emoved. Bis beard was
then shaved of. He made a desperate
resistance, and was exhausted by his eff
forts to prevent the removal of his cloth
ing. The prostration of Mr.. O'Brien
after his struggle withthe wardens was
so severe that it was deemed best to SUM-
mon priest to him.

CHAPTER Tn.-NIL DEsPERAyD1M

And now ! think 1t Is time told how Il
came to pass that, at an age when most
young men of my years have only Just left
college or begun business, was a profess
sional underwater, and virtually the man
ager of the Oriental and Occidental Insur-
ance Company.
My father was merchant, and for many
years a partner in the house of Waterhouse,
Watkins, Erie & Co., who traded princi-
palIy with the West Indies and South
America, though being very catholic in
their commercial ideas, they would have
shipped Goals to Newcastle, Or warming
pans to Madagascar, if they had been sure
about their reimbursement, and could have
seen trifing profit on the venture.
My father, who was the travelling mem
Der of the firm, went about a good deal
drumming for fresh business, and at one
period of his life spent several years at
Maracaibo, in VeneZuela-a fact which &C
counts for my having been born there.
Now, any body who goes to Maracaibo SIS
surely gets touch of yellow fever as any
body who stays a winter in London gets 8
taste of yellow fog. 1t is a matter of
course, and newcomers make their ar
rangements accordingly. Ny parents I'M
derwent the ordeal the year before came
into the world, which circumstance was
supposed to confer on me complete i'm
munity from this terrible pest of the troT>-
les. was acclimatized by the mere fact
of my birth.
cannot say that esteemed the privilege
very highly for [ had not the most remote
intention of returning 70 Maracaibo, which
from all accounts is q pestiferous, mosQui-
to-haunted pandemonium.
My poor father used to say that whatever
else he might leave me- he should at least
leave me free from all fear of Yellow Jack.
AS it turned out, he left me little else.
After his return from foreign cl1mes he
settled down in Liverpool, took a big house
in Abercrombie Square, entertained large
ly, and lived extensively. When / was
about sixteen, and pupil at Uppingham
School, my father (who had been a free
liver) died suddenly of apoplexy, and an
investigation Of his affairs resulted in the
painful discovery that, after payment of
his liabilities, the residue of his estate
would only provide my mother and myself
with an income of something less than two
hundred year. So we had to give up our
fine house in Abercrombie Square and go
into lodgings, and l left Uppingham and
began to earn my own hving-literally, for
after l was seventeen l did not cost my
mother a penny.

been so numerically chaffed that I fancy
he does not like to speak about it. I dare
say, though, he would tell you the yarn II
you have any curiosity on the subject"
"WeIl, l rather think l should like to
hear the story Of the lost galleon; for If not
true, it is pretty sure to be interesting,
and that's the main point in a story, after
all. Sc non zero, ben tropdto, you
know"
However, did not hear Toms yarn just
then, nor until several things had hap
pened which l little expected Captain
Peyton got fresh sailing orders sooner than
he anticipated, and made Bolsover happy
by engaging him as boatswain; and the
latter was SO much occupied that he had
barely time to call and say goodbye" the
day before the Diana" was towed out to
sea. did not see him again for several
months, in circumstances which I shall
presently relate.

CHAPTER u.-MR. BRANDYNiAN.

Twas right, then: there had been foul
play. Captain Deep had committed the
crime of barratry, with the connivance,
and doubtless at the instance, of the ships
owners, Messrs. Barnes & Brandyman.
There are good many respectable people
who would do even worse if they could
make twenty thousand pounds thereby,
this being the amount which Messrs.
Barnes & Brandyman's treachery was
likely TO bring them; for, as have already
observed, they had insured the ''Niobe"
and her cargo largely elsewhere; and to
give the firm their due, they did not do
things by halves. They were not the sort
of people TO commit felony and run SER
ious risk for an old song.
But the question that most concerned
me was my own course of action. What
should dos 1t was obvious that I could
not bring a charge of barratry against so
intensely respectable firm as Barnes &
Brandyman without the most convincing
proofs. But the only proof I could adduce
was Bolsover's statement, and as he was
sure to be fatty contradicted by the cap
tain, the mate, and the carpenter, that
| would not avail me much, even though I
should find and produce Alec Tobin, the
other sailor who had seen the holes in tho
