Mrs Dalton made no reply. She
took no interest; she was too much
crushed.

BERTHA DiLTOH'S TRIUMPH,
7HE HISTORY Of An OPAL RING

THE HISTORY Of An OPAL RING
"Yes, my lord, of course he knew
Mr.. Thompson replied; 'but it was one
thing for him to know it, and another
to prove that he had been robbed-that
he had ever been in possession of the
papers. The two young men are cous-
ms. of the same age within few weeks,
and they were christened in the same
name-Eustace Sedley | don't know

The son was consequently christ
ened Eustace Sedley. The man who has
played up this extraordinary trick is the
son of Mr.. FancouTt's wife's brother"
went on Mr.. Thompson.
''How has all this come to light?o
asked Lord Alphington. still half afraid
of giving credence to what he heard.
Briggs, the detective, who was en-
pl0yed in the two cases, as | have said,
disguised himself as servant, and
bribed Sedley's man to let him take his
place. Mr.. Thompson resumed, ''the
Former valet recommending i'm to your
house-steward here. You see, my lord,
he was certain of his man, to begin
with, and he had a shTeWd suspicion
that the fellow Miss Bertha Dalton de-
scribed as having been in possession of
the ring must have had to do with the
greater robbery. He had, therefore, to
find out his whereabouts. This he did
through Mrs. Sedlev's servant"
Mrs. Scdley? OF whom are you
speaking?" said Lord AlphingtOn.

Mr.. Thompson replied. 1T seems that

claimed, in tone Of horror. And that
lovely girl Miss Dalton, might have

Mr.. st. Lawrence and Riggs both
agreed that if the arrest could not be
made in time, they would both come
forward and explain enough to make
the postpongmcut of the marriage inn
perative. Mr.. st. Lawrence was not
aware of his cousins marriage or he
would not have allowed Miss DatOn's
engagement TO stand for an hour" Mr..
Thompson explained; but rs | was

1t is not too late for potting plants The
main things to be considered are, first the

care which will best suit its purposes If
specially prepared soil is not at hand,
use the best loan attainable mixed with a
little well-rotted barnyard manure. Or some
peat with little common soil added will
do very well. In either cases sift the
whole, remembering that the smaller the
root the finer should be the soil. Most
plants will do well if little sand is added
and some coarse gravel is placed in the bot
tom of the pot; this will help to get rid of
the surplus water should any ever be pres

IN LIFTING THE PLANTS.

be careful not to iniure the roots. They
may however, be trimmed as much as desir-
ed, though they should be cut off, and not
torn or broken. In any case when a root
becomes torn, it should be cut off smoothly,
to prevent the lacerated edges as much as
possible from decaying. If the plnats are
intended for towering, remember that any
thing which tends to dwarf the growth of
a plant hastens Aowering-it matters not
whether it be pruning either of root or
branch or a lack of nutrition. So to have
healthy plants, the roots should be given
plenty of room in good soil, and the top
be properly cared for. In placing the
plant in pot, place the roots in as natural
position as possible. Ha wing ported
the plants, they will do better if kept out
of the sun and wind for few days. until
they become somewhat established. The
pots should be porous and plenty of air be
allowed them. There need be but very little
trouble with most of the ordinary plants

A Bold Robbery.

Some unknown person or persons
entered the residence OF Mr.. Jacob
OFT, on Washington street, about nine
o'clock Monday night, and carried away
two jewelry cases, estimated to con-
tain about 81 100 worth of gold and
silver watches, diamonds and other
jewelry Mr.. n. ii. Williams, the
unfortunate victim, came few days
ago from Seattle and opened stock of
watches and jewelry in the front part
of the store room on Fourth street,
occupied by Albert ID. Wright, the
saddler and harness maker. Mr.
Williams used the north window to
display his goods and also had a show
case on the counter. II was his Gus
tom to pack up his most valuable ar
ticles in two canvas valises and carry
them each night to the room occupied
by himself and wife, on the first floor
of Mr.. Otis residence. Having carried
his goods to his room, as usual, last
evening, Mr.. Williams took n short
stroll on the sidewalk to await the
coming Of his wife from the theater,
at Columbia Hall At no time was he
at the distance of block from Mr..
Otis gate. Having occasion to go
back to his room, he found the doors
and window open and his two jewelry
valises gone. The alarm was given
and the police called as soon as posi-
BILE. Officer Savidge, who was in at
tendance at the the theater, being
notified, got together his forces and
made search for the robbers, but with
out success. This morning one of
the valises and some iewelry traps
were found in Mrs. Sylvester's yard
The valise had been rified, of course,
of its contents. A few of the cheaper
articles remained, however, on the
trays. The fact that diamond rings
and pins had been stripped from the
cards to which they were attached
would seem to show that the thieves
had a discriminating knowledge of the
value of the articles comprising their
plumber, and they must have had a
light to aid them in selecting what
they wished to carry away and what
to leave as not profitable booty. The
few things left by the thieves cut but
a small figure in the aggregate value
of the amount taken. 1t remains to
be seen what developments the efforts
of the police may bring to light.
This afternoon the other valise was
found by the roadside near the Capitol,
but no articles of value.
