ADDITIONS TO ALPHABET.

1t is q TACT not so well known but
that the letters j and W arc modern
additions to the alphabet, says a
writer in tho st. Louis Republic.
The use OF the j may be said to have
become general during tho time of
the commonwealth. say between 1919
and 1863. From 1880 to 1916 its uso
is exceedingly rare In tho century
Immediately preceding the seven
tecnth it became the fashion to tail

use it as new letter is an interest
ing but perhaps unanswerable query.
In C. like manner the printers and
language makers OF the latter part
of the sixteenth century began to
recognize the fact that there was
a sound in spoken English which
was without representative in tho
shape of an alphabetical sign or
character. as the first sound in tho
word wet. Prior to that time it had
always been spelled Us vet. tho v
having the long sound of IL or of two

three words above looked like this:

tho type founders recognized the fact
that the dolblc II hal come to stay.
SO they joined the two VS. together
and made the character now so we'll
known as tho w. There is one book
in which three forms OF the w are

try town. He expected letter giving
him fuller information. and on inquiry
at the postoffice the missivo was placed
in his hand.
Not until he had eaten his dinner and
gone to his room did he open the letter.
He found it to the point 10 far as it went.
Miss Livermore was a wealthy spinster
about so years of age, who lived alone
with her niece, Evelyn Glider, an orphan.
The latter was % most excellent lady,
hardly out of her teens, bright, beautiful
and accomplished. Naturally she was
believed to be the heiress of the wealth
of her aunt, who had been in poor health
for u long t:ne.
Miss Liver1nore was tho owner OF q
number of very valuable jewels, heir
looms that had descended to her through
several generations and with which moth
ing could induce her willingly to part.
The gem of the collection was an i'm
mense pure pigeon blood" ruby worth
more than 100000. and with n history
which traced it back to famous rajah
of India.
Like all great jewels of the world, the
story of the "rajaN5 ruby" was ono of
fire. blood, rapine and crime. 1t had
played prominent part i'll many fierce
struggles between the native chieftains of
the Punjab, and ut ono crisis in its his
tory came near causing war between
two leading nations in the east. Finally,
through means which it will not do to
inquire particularly into, it came into
the possession of Captain Burbank of
the royal navy, who when he sailed for
England took the magnificent gem with
him. This Captain Burbank was an an
cestor of Miss Livermore. and from him
it TRANQUILITY descended through several
generations to her, who was n resident
of the sleepy New England town of FL
lenville
After imparting these interesting facts
the letter of Chief VaIicls broke off with
the instruction to Detective Manson to
consult DR.. Henry Maidhoff, the family
physician, who would give him all neces-
sary information.
Under other circumstances this sug-
gestion would have read strangely, but
Detective Manson accepted it as the most
natural thing for him to do. No one
could be presumed to be acquainted with
the family history Of the despoiled fam
lily to that intimate extent as the gentle
-man who had ministered to the ailments
of the invalid. He was the one of all
others to whom he should apply, and the
officer decided to go thither before call
ing at the house to interview Miss Liver.

The this" to which he referred was q
cipher telegram that he held in his hand.
1t was his duty to keep them posted at
headquarters as to his precise where

him at any point. Thus it happened
that when within q few hours ride of his
home the following perenptory message
reached him:

without delay and take charge of the case.
