cetween Ju- aii7. - years OF age. He wore
a glossy silk hat of the latest fashion, a
dark diagonal suit, spotless linen, col
lar with the corners turned in the we'll
known triangular shape, silk cravat
with diamond horseshoe, while the
edge of silk handkerchief protruded
from the side pocket of his coat. When
he turned in his seat, fine gold watch
chain was visible in front.
This individual was smoking choice
Havana, which most of the time he held
daintily between his fingers. He seemed
absorbed in his paper, but probably no
one besides the detective discovered that
this was only pretense on his part. He
sat for an hour without once shifting
the position Of the journal, an impossi-
bility if he was reading the contents
unless he adopted the improbable course
of perusing tine same thing repeatedly.
Certainly he was not doing that. On
first entering the car, as he did at War
hampton, he glanced behind him several
times and then. crossed his legs and as
sumed posture which showed his pro-
file to the persons sitting behind, and
practically to those on the other side.
The man was undeniably handsome,
with his Roman nose, his glossy mus
tache curling gracefully at the ends,
though the chin may have been trifle
too prominent. Had he chosen to dis
play his teeth they would have shown
white and regular. Altogether he formed
striking personality.
The startling discovery that Detective
Simpson made was that this individual
was one of the two East Indians who
had come all the way from Calcutta
with the resolve to secure possession Of
the rajah's ruby.

ID AXIS To- the Queen.

Samuel Parker, member Of ex-Queen LII
ioukalani's cabinet, has been at San Francis
co several weeks on private business. Before
leaving he gave to the Eldminer letter to
tho American people, which may be deemed
an authoritative statement Of the purpose OF
the roynlIsts Of his country.
He says that the Hawailans arc satisfied
with their government. and, II given an op-
portunlty to express their opinions, will de-
eide by an overwhelming majority In favor Of
the queen.
The roy yalists of Hawaii hayc appealed tho
case TO the United States and are quietly wait
Ing for decision. II the decision is to per-
nit tho people of Hawaii to decide for them
selves Mr.. Parker has no doubt Of the resto-
ration OF the queen.
The Hawaiian people are opposed to annex
alton. The people OK Hawaii are for the res

can do but one Of two thlngs-elthcr 1t will
restore the queen TO the throne, or else leave
the politics Of Hawaii to the people Of Ha-

VtucC ~ uWuSt"CHt.
The complexion of the well dressed
man was like n mulatto's, and his hair
was as black and coarse as an American
Indians. A glance at him showed that
while he may not have been exception
ally strong he was as 1.-THE and active as
panther.
''He is one of the two that were skulk-
ing through the grounds Of the Liver

tered Simpson. II have never met the
couple by daylight, but that fellows
profile shows him to be the one that
climbed the tree and peered through the
window at the interior. twas his COM
panion who attacked and would have
given me my quiGtus but for those
cigars"
Whenever the train drew up at the
station, Wichman-for it was he-quiet-
ly shifted his position so as to observe
any one that might leave the car. This
was done 80 naturally that no one noticed
it except Simpson.
HE is shadowing Fairchild, but does
he suspect meT'
The detective could not feel altogether
certain on this matter, but he was almost
positive that the sepOy had no thought of
him. Tho dense gloom which reigned
during their first and only meeting pre-
vented any view of others features,
Though the silhouette thrown against the
yellow background of the window gave
the American an immense advantage.
But FOR the exceeding swarthiness of the
feh complexion, stamping his nation
ality too plainly to be mistaken, it is un-
likely that Simpson would have pene-
trated his identity.
HE is after Fairchild. He knows or
at least suspects that he has the gem
with him, and he is prepared to take
desperate chances to gain it, for he has
already run great risk. The final strug-
gle must take place very soon in the
city of New York"
The detective considered the question
of frankly making known to the young
man the situation. Thus warned, and
with the uompanionship of himself to
help guard the treasure, there surely
ought to be no personal risk at all.
But the officer was forced to consider
the eventualities. He would have to
ayow his own character and was sure to
awaken suspicion regarding himself.
Fairchild would be put on his guard
against him and more than likely would
repel his offer of friendly aid.
II have the advantage over both in
knowing the precise situation, while
neither of them suspects me-that is, p" he
added, II don't think he does"
Since it was important that this ques-
tion should be decided before reaching
the metropolis, Simpson had recourse to
simple strategem. When the train
made its last halt, he rose from his seat
valise and cane in hand, and left the car
by the rear door.
