When l got back to the Abbey,
Brace, Van Hoeck and Lola were in
the library with the police officer, Sir
Edmund, Mr.. Wray,-his lawyer
and a couple OF friends, justices OF the
peace, who had been brought there by
the rumors which were already widely
spread.
Lola was still under examination.
She was stubbornly silent. 1t was with
the greatest difficulty that any re-
spouse to the questions put could be
drawn from her. But she admitted see
ing the man drop from the oriel; and,
asked ii it was one OF the servants, she
replied firmly, no" But more than
this could not be got out of her on
this point.
TO the inquiry how she had discov-
ed the means OF getting from the bay
into the oriel, for it was by that way
she had come to my assistance, she
replied that she chad seen it done be-
FORE but she would not say whom
she had seen.
The police officer asked me to 90
into the adjoining dinins-room with
him.
ebay I ask" he said, IF you have
any reason to suspect that you have
been robbed by your friends, your
partners in the diamond? Be-
cause they profess to have
been in the woods all the
morning, whereas have good cause
to believe that they have been in the
town OF Southampt on part OF the
time
Are you sure OF that"
g will take my oath that saw the
little savage in the red petticoat in the
High Street as l started to cone
here"

Might Have Been Shocked,

An English bishop, returning from
"a tour OF the states" occupied
large double abin with his wife, who
was somewhat querulous and exact
ing. One night during a hard storm
the lady complained OF the close air
and her spouse dutiiully arose and
opened a portfolio, whereupon a big
wooden ball bobbed in and kept on
bobbing. The bishop knotted up its
string and hung it on the wall of the
cabin;it bumped as the vessel rocked
and annoyed the lady further. So
the patient bishop let out the loops
and put the ball under his pillow, aft
er which peace and slumber. The
next day at dinner the bishop re.
counted his adventures of the night.
Roars of laughter greeted the story.
The captain recovered sufficiently to
gasp: "Why, man!-an-that is, my
lord! that ball you slept on hangs at
the end of the ships lightning conduc

CAUSE OF A QUEER SENSATION.
Why Boiling Ice Cream Creates a
Pain In the Temples or Eyes.

Why Bolting Ice Cream Creates a
Pain In the Temples or Eyes.
During the scorching weather of July
and August you often rush into an
ice cream saloon with the avowed in
tention OF cooling your body to at
least a few degrees below the melting
point. If you are in a great hurry you
are apt to make the first few spoon
fulls OF the cooling mixture rather
large. This almost Immediately gives
you violent pain in the temples or
somewhere in the region OF the eyes.
Why is this? Did you ever stop to
think? asks writer in the St. Louis
Republican.
One who has studied the physiology
OF the case says it is caused in the fol
lowing manner: The frozen mixture,
coming in contact with the nerves of
the throat 1.-THE larynx, pharynz, etc.
temporarily paralyzes them. The SEN
sation instantly shoots to the center
OF those nerves, which is in the brain,
but finds there a sile connection
in the shape of the great facial nerve,
which starts from in front of the ear
extends its branches over the sides Of
the face. One branch OF this facial
nerve, extending across the temple, is
a "nerve OF sensation" while the other
branches are simply "nerves of mo-
tion," utilized chiefly to govern the
play OF the mouth.
The great facial nerve side tracks
the pain which proceeds from the
chill, throwing it out along the nerve
branch which traverses the temple,
the pain being most agonizing at the
points where the nerve branches. II
the irritation be extra ordinary the
"refleN" action which takes place
may cause a violent pain in the eye
balls as we'll as in the temple, the eye
pain being simply sympathetic. The
person who rashly swallows great
mouthfuls Of frozen milk should re-
member that every time it comes in
contact with the nerves OF his throat
the whole nervous system is injured
to @ greater or less extent

Women as Market Gardeners.

So many women who wish to earn
their own living have gone into the
millinery business, that it has been
suggested that some other field OF Ia
Dor might prove more profitable.
Years ago, before Mrs. Langtry went
on the stage, she hesitated which she
should do, 60 in for growing lettuce,
caulitiower and asparagus, or play
"Pauline' and Lady Clancarty."
She was certain she would succeed in
the first, and she felt sure that vegeta-
bles from her farm would have a good
sale; however, she elected to 60 on the
stage. But why does not some other
woman follow her idea, and make the
vegetables from Mrs. Brown-Jones'
farm the most desirable and the most
sought after in the MARKET
Home Journal.

would place the diamond in such an

different. 1t was unsafe to keep
that, but it was OF little con-

NAPIER AND THE swoRDsmAN.
How the English General was Con-
WINGED by an Indian Juggler's

How the English General was Con-
WINGED by an Indian Juggler's
Feat.
After Napier's battles with the Hin
docs opposed 70 the English a famous
juggler visited the camp and performed
his feats before the general, his family,
and staff. Among other performances
this man cut in two, with stroke OF
his sword, lime or lemon placed in
the hand OF his assistant. Napier
thought there was some collision be-
tween the iuggler and his retainer To
divide by a sweep Of the sword so
small an object on a mans hand with
out touching the flesh he believed to
be impossible, though similar Incl
dent is related by Scott in hisromance
OF the 'Talisman." 70 determine the
point, the general offered his own
hand for the experiment, and he
stretched out his right arm. The
juegler looked very attentively at the
hand, and said that he would not
make the experiment.
II thought I would find you out?"
exclaimed Napier
"But stop" added the other; "let
me STE your left hand.' The lett was
submitted, and the man said firmly;
eff you will hold your arm steady l
will perform the feat
But why the left hand and not the
right"
"Because the right hand is hollow
in the center and there is risk OF
cutting off the thumb; the LETT is high
and the danger will be less"
Napier was startled. 81 cot fright
ened," he said. II saw it was an
actual feat OF delicate workmanship,
and if had not abused the man as 1
did before my staff and challenged
him to the trial, honestly acknowl-
edge l would have retired from the
encounter. However. l put the lime
on my hand and held out my arm
steadily. The iuggler balanced HIM
self, and with u swift stroke cut the
lime in two pieces. I felt the edge OF
the sword on my hand as ii q cold
thread had been drawn across it."
