and sent over to Amsterdam, where they were
placed in the right hands for sale. At any
rate, Mrs. Harringtons diamond necklace
ceased to exist, and that amiable lady thus
paid dearly enough for her treachery.
But the consequences OF her malicious deed
did not end with the loss of the Jewels Not
only was she compelled to appear in court
and give evidence against her former maid.
but she suffered untold aSonies of mind lest
Morris should divulge the fact that the dia-
monds had been stolen not from Mrs. but
from Miss Harrington's dressing case, and
that further revelations might be made. Nor
ris, however. perhaps in the hope ofusing her
knowledge tor the purpose of extorting black
mail from her late mistress when her term of
penal servitude was over, discreetly held her
tongue; and therefore only Mr.. Lynx, Gladys
and Ralph knew the whole story of the Har-
rington Hall burglary.
Many Of the details could only be surmised,
but it seemed probable that Morris, in passing
through the shrubbery on her way to the
stables. had overheard the conversation be-
tween the lovers. and pereeiving that. even IL
she were found out, how unlikely it was her
mistress would venture to prosecute her for
the theft, had conceived the daring idea of
abstracting the necklace from Miss Harring-
tons dressing case.
Yet another retribution was in store for the
unhappy Mrs. Harrington Gladys suddenly
her stepmother, and threatened to tell the
true story OF the robbery to her guardian,
Lord Roseford, gentleman who was uni
versally respected in the county for his almost
fastidious ideas OF honor.
.You have shown no mercy to me; 1 will
show none TO you. Give your formal consent
to my marriage with Ralph and promise TO
keep your wicked secret. III you refuse will
go straight to Lord Roseford and beg him to
find some other home for me than Harring-
ton Hail."
..You undutiful child, how dare you speak
to me sor' moaned Mrs. Harrington, quailing
before the flashing eyes of her step-daughter.
1T is your own fault. II you had not tried
to ruin the man l love would have waited
three years for him. Now, mean TO marry
him in three weeks
What could the unhappy woman do?
Gladys was thoroughly reused; she was quite
capable OF making an esclandre that would be
the talk Of Grass-shire for years.
In the end Mrs. Harrington did what most
women in her position would have done
gave in; and Gladys kept her word. Three
weeks later the following advertisement ap-
peared in the first column of the Times: ION
the 18th OF July, at Harrington. Ralph Cum
ningham, NJ. A., late Fellow OF st. Johns
College, Oxon., to Gladys, only daughter of
the late Giles Harrington, of Harrington
Hail. Grass-shire."
And Mrs. Lamprey said to Mrs. Smalman:
"What dreadful mesalliance; but always
knew what would be the result Of Mrs. Har-
rington's inprudence in throwing that Mr..
Cunningham with poor. dear, headstrong
Gladys!"-Chambers' Journal.

The inspector pulled out his pocketbook
and instantly made a note OF this; then. turn
ing to Mrs. Harrington, asked whether he had
her permission to interrogate each member OF
the household in private.
"Most certainly: l give you carte blanche in
the matter" the lady replied. But as the
unfortunate affair has somewhat upset my

leave the future conduct OF the case to you
with the greatest confidence"
With this gracious speech Mrs. Harrington
left the saloon and remained invisible until
dinner time. The intervening hours were
spent by the inspector in cross-exam;ring the
servants. in u minute investigation of the
premises, and in making copious notes in re-
gard to every item OF evidence he elected.
About o'clock the worthy official took his
departure. and every man. woman. and child
at Harrington Hall breathed more freely when
relieved from the overwhelming majesty of
the law, individualized in that awe-inspiring
parsonage.
When Mrs. Harrington rang her bell to
summon the faithful Morris to assist her at
her evening toilet that valued .factotum ap-
peared in tears and with an open telegram in
her hand. She had just received the Distress
ing information that her father, a respectable
publican, residing at Holloway. lay danger

to go up to London by the last train? She,
Morris. would break her heart if .'anythipg
happened to her dear old father, and she,
his only daughter, was not there to receive his
dying blessing.
'.Of course you may go. / am very sorry
to hear of this trouble. When is the next
train?" said Mrs. Harrington, sympatheti-
cally.
''There is one at Z, ma'am.''
Then go by that. You have half an hour
to get to the station"
''But who is to dress you for dinner.
ma'am?''
''send Jane to me. She will be able to do
all want
With profuse thanks and tears Morris left
her mistress, packed small bag of neces-
saries. and was driven off to the station by
sympathizing groom, who had long cher
ished an admiring regard for the comely
abigail, and was believed to entertain matri-
monial intentions on her behalf.
Dinner that night was disagreeable ordeal
alike to Mrs. Harrington. Gladys, and Ralph.
The first was slightly sulky and ashamed, the
second covertly indignant, and the third,
though outwardly seif-possessed, was bitterly
aggrieved at the humiliating position in which
Mrs. Harrington's treachery had placed him.
When dinner was over Gladys pleaded d
headache as an excuse for going straight to
her own room, and Ralph strolled out into the
garden to smoke cigar, a sedative which he
sorely needed; but he was not fated to enjoy

keeper of the well-to-do class had store
room, in which were kept well-polished bar
rels of different sugars. chests of tea, a bag
of coffee and other supplies in similar quanti-
ties. This room was kept locked and the
mistress served out the supplies as they were
needed. Modern housekeepers find that this
plan, though seemingly economical, is really
extravagant. A pound of coffee ground fresh
at the store for her order she discovers lasts
SO many days, and the cook becomes aware
OF the same truth. So with the four-pound

Without effort the system creates itself, and

Spring Suits and
How TO Make Them

| Among the most attractive Of the Spring
suits are the serge dresses with skirt and
| blazer They are made to wear with shirt
waist or waist coat, and are in every way
practical, becoming, and sensible. The bell
skirt, made after the usual pattern, may be
entirely without trimming or finished with
braid or a fold of the material. Many Of the
skirts are without lining, others are lined
with silk or cambric, and all Of them have
skirt the necessary stiffness to conform to
fashion requirements. While the skirts of
some of the waists and blazers are quite long,
others are very short, some OF them little
moro than a finger in depth. These are very
full around the waist, and in some cases
there is double rufIle. This is somewhat
becoming to medium figures, but only the
tall and slender should indulge 1t to any great
extent.
Sleeves are even larger at the tops than
heretofore, but are fiattened down on the
shoulders and project to width almost equal
to the widest parts Of the skirts. Turned-over
collars, very wide pointed revers, vests, chem
isettes and double-breasted fronts are char
acteristics OF some of the best models.
A blazer that is at once conservative, stylish
and becoming has skirt not over ten inches
below the waist line, very full-topped sleeves,
turned-back collar with wide lapels curving
around the sleeves in front, and is worn with
waistcoat buttoned closely up to the chin.
Some of tho serge suits are made up with
moire satin, or bengaline. Moire sleeves are
seen in some models, others have merely
the collars, lapels, cuffs, and wide pocket
lids of this material.
A much-admired suit has the basque skirts
made of a succession of flaps resembling
pocket lids. These are curved so as to fit
smoothly around the waist. One model has
ten-inch section OF the serge, a satin section
about an inch smaller all around, then an
other section Of the serge with about the
same relatively smaller size. There are two
front and two back groups of these pocket lid
skirts. The revers are double and similarly
arranged, and a satin collar turns back over
the whole

PENSION MATTERS,

The annual report of the secretary
of the interior, In treating Of pensions,
says:
CAT the close of the fiscal year end.
ing June 80, 1894, o59,544 pensioners
were borne upon the rolls, an increase
of 1882 pensioners during the year.
"The pensioners may be classed as
follows: Soldiers and sailors, 7ss,o6S;
widows, orphans and other dependent
relatives, 2I5,I62; army nurses, Ala.
"Of these I6,6To pensioners are on
account of Indian and other wars prior
to the late war and 15,42o widows,
orphans and other dependent relatives.
Under the act of June 81, 1890, there
are 375,oS4 pensioners and o4,26o
widows and orphans. 1t is interesting
to note that nine widows and three
daughters Of veterans of the Revolu.
ton constitute the pension roll for
that war. Forty-hve survivors of the
war of 1872 constitute the remnant OF
that list.
"The total amount expended for
pensions during the past fiscal year
was SI39,So4, 46I,o5, leaving a bal
ance from the appropriation in the
treasury of $25, 2o5,7I2 65. The esti
mate for the fiscal year 1896 made by
the commissioner is $I5o,ooo,oo 900.
