in twinkling, two policeman were
on the spot.
Hold him, He tried to chloro-
form me! yelled Charles Augustus.
Arrest that man. He's trying TO
rob and murder me! shouted the
other occupant Of the coupe.
The result vas that both men were
arrested and taken to the station,
where they were incarcerated in sep
arate cells and booked as drunk and
dlsorderly, until such time as the law
of police officials, which is different
from any other kind of law under the
sun, should admit of their cases being
looked up and the facts of the affair
brought out. The diamonds and MIR.
IS checkbook were taken care of
by the same authorities. They were
both fined for breaking the peace, but
the innocent party of the first part,
who bought the diamonds, or tried to,
was only kept in Jail one night. Then
his distracted wife found him, and
fguralivelV warmed the polceman's S
ears ior ever putting him there. The
jeweler finally got his money and the
lady IN the case received her diamonds
but Charles Augustus, the valiant,
languished in Jail until his father came
and bailed him out. He is now run
ming plow on the home ranch, but
what new turn his genius will take,
remains to be seen. For the present
he is satisfied to be out of business as
al amateur detective.

AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.
BY MRS. NJ. L. RAYNE.

Farmer Stillwell was very much
surprised when his only son, Charles
Augustus, told him he was going to
the city to "look for Job"
Whats the matter with staying at
home and helping me run the farm?
asked the old man.
| want a chance to rise in the
world, to show what kind OF stuff |
am made of, answered the youth.
l reckon you're made OF the same
sort of clay as yer mother and me,
but yer only about half baked vet,
said the old man with a grin. This
comes of a little Iearnin.' You d
better tarry at Jericho until yer
beard is grown, an you've cut yer
wisdom teeth, son.
But the young man persisted. He
explained to his father that he want
ed to see the world, and make his
mark in it. He might have to begin
low, but he was bound to rise, and
he knew enough to keep clear OF
bunco-steerers and all such gentry.
So his father gave him his blessing,
and SIS in gold, and let him go, with
a pardonable desire to crafty his
ambition and see him rise in the
world.
In due time letter came from the
young man. He had found employ
ment in a jewellery store. 1t was
only a stepping stone, he said, to
the fortune he intended TO make, but
he should keep his eyes open and
lose no good chance.
The next letter was from the CHIEF
OF police in the city where the young
man was employed. 1t merely an
nounced the fact that the youth was
in Jail and wanted his father to come
and bail him out. The CONSERVATION
which this missive introduced into
the farm household can only be i'm,
agined. They all Loyalty clung to
the belief that their Charles Angus
tus was not criminal in intent, but
the fact of his being in jail was a
great blow to their pride.
Let us return, as the novelists
says, to Charles Augustus.
That enterprising young man had
won golden opinions from his EN-
ployers by his steady conduct, his
correct business principles, and his
devotion to their interests. One day
at time when he was the only clerk
in the store, a stranger entered anC
asked to be shown some diamond
earrings. He produced a busines:
card, and the jeweler, who person
ally attended to him, recognized the
name as that of a man recently estab
lished in business there, but who wa.
still stranger to him. The gentle
man selected the earrings and asked
that they be sent to his hotel for hi
wife to examine before purchasing
Then he left the store.
Now this business was unbusines
like and the jeweler cautioned youns
