tCSy he took his departure.

itor inquiringly.
Il was not aware that it was gener-
ally known" was the reply of the young
lady, whose manner showed slight dis
pleasure at the remark.
ut is hard to keep such matters Sc
cret, however desirable it may be. May
l ask whether the criminals have been

swered hiss Glider, with a manner
which showed she wished the subject
dismissed. Simpson, however, was rot
to be thwarted SO easily.
Then you were not here at the timer

(Which was undoubtedly fortunate
for you, for such men are always des-
perate and hesitate at no crime. Their
visit was great shock to your aunt and
doubtless fastened her death"
"Yes-nO-that is, of course she was
shocked, but the subject is an unpleasant
one to me-"
The momentary confusion shown by
Miss Glider confirmed Simpson in his
conviction that only the border of the
mystery of the rajah's ruby had as yet
been touched. Despite his caution and
the skill with which he had managed the
interview, the young lady had formed a
suspicion of him. A woman's instinct
is superior to a mans wisdom, and she
was on her guard.
If the detective was to win, it must be
through victory over this keen witted
young lady. Her last remark proved it.

write hastily in order to warn you of your
danger. They may not start for several weeks
or months, and they may leave by the steamer
which carries this letter. Be on your guard, or
you may lose the rNjah's ruby, and probably
your life, as will assurcdly be the case if it is
necessary in order for them to accomplish their
purpose. Very respectfully,
That letter establishes the fact that
two men have been sent from the other
side of the world" said Simpson, for
the raiah's ruby, and it looks very much
as if they had secured it and are work
ing their way back home with the gem
Then do You consider the doctor elm

BY no means, though it does seem
unjustifiable to submit him to suspicion.
can't help believing, however, that he
knows much more about that ruby than
he is willing to admit"
The most natural suspicion is that he
has been paid big sum to helpin its alb
straction from Miss Livermore's safe
1t is easy to see that he possessed her
fullest confidence" said Simpson, who,
NOW that he was thinking deeply, laid
aside his iollity of manner, though he lit
another fragrant cigar and nursed the
foot of the limb resting across his knee.
Those two miscreantS must have done
as the writer of that letter intimated-
left on the same steamer with the mis-
sive, so that they appeared in Ellenville
about the same time. Upon receiving
the alarming letter Miss Livermore had
given it to DR.. Maidhotf. Its tearing
apart is a singular accident, but why
didn't the doctor at once apply to the
authorities to secure protection against
this burglary and, as it proved, her own

1T is that feature of the business"
continued Simpson, which causes grave
suspicion against him. Surely he would
not have neglected that simple precau-
ton unless he had some sinister reason
for doing So. tell you, Max, while you
follow up those sepoys | shall cultivate
the doctor"
Have you any hope of finding the
ruby in his possession
Folsom Simpson looked toward the
ceiling for few minutes, while he filled
the room with the mellow perfume from
his cigar. He was bordering some strange
question of which his companion could
form no conception. He certainly saw a
complication which did not present itself
to his astutc friend.
Il don't know how to answer you,
Max. The natural belief, with the little
light we have gathered is that DIR. Maid
hoff was bribed to help those fellows to
get the ruby and that they are making
off with it. Probably that is the fact, and
yet | can't believe it
1t is impossible to depict the earnest,
ness with which Simpson uttered this
declaration. He said:
Il see dimly a darker mystery in the
background. If l do not explain myself.
ii is not because l do not intend to worb
heart and hand with you in clearing VI
this tragic problem. The success of one,

GERMhNY'S LOVE FEAST.

Wilhelm and Bismarck are reconciled.
Wilhelm graciously forgave Bismarck for
having had to fire him. -Indianapolis News.
Kaiser Wilhelm and Prince Bismarck are

feel much Observation-Disclosures Wisconsin.
Emperor William has presented Bismarck
with a bottle of old wine. It's been long
time between drinks for them, and no mis-
ake.-Philadelphia Press.
This restoration of friendly relations be-
tween the kaiser and Bismarck may have
a marked influence on European politics.
The German empire perhaps needs the
counsel Of it's creator in this eXigency.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat
With its industrial depression, bread
riots and violent socialistic element, Ger
many seems to be in bad way, and the re-
appearance in public way of the sturdy
and patriotic old Bismarck is a sure sign of
a crisis.-Albany Journal.
Whatever may grow out of the event of
yesterday, it has demonstrated most con-
clusively that the friend and ally of the
first William has a deep and lasting hold
upon the affections and gratitude of the
German people.-Pittsburg Gazette.
Prince Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm
have met and exchanged the kiss of peace.
The spectacle was regarded as beautifully

Bismarck's is truly name to conjure
with. Emperor William has displayed gen.
ius by choosing to conjure with it. The
prince is not long for this world; the en-
peror has long career in front of him.
William has nothing to lose and everything
to gain by centering the patriotism of Ger
many about himself and Bismarck.-De-
troit Tribune
William may have repented of his ingrst-
itude to the maker of Germany, or he may
have realized that Bismarck's support is
necessary to the success of his plans. To
do him credit, he may not have been wholly
to blame for the rupture in the first place,
for Bismarck was an imperious servant.
At all events the reconciliation between the
two is an important matter to Germany
Louisville Journal.
Whether the emperor is sincere in his rec
onciliation with Bismarck, or whether it Is
simply a makeshift to extricate himself

National Handwriting,

If individual character influences in
dividual handwriting, national charac-
ter should influence national handwrit-
ing. Authorities tell us that such is the
case; that the art of the Italian, the
pride of the Spaniard, the vivacity of
the Frenchman, are all displayed in
their penmanship.
1t may be so, but aa rule it would
take an expert or an enthusiast to tell
the difference between the writing of
the shrewd Scotchman, the staid Eng
lishman and the lively Irishman. Ger
man handwriting, however, is truly in
dicative of the national character; it
requires nearly as much patience to
read it as to write it.
On the other hand, one seeks in vain
to discover the temper of Jew from
the dots and points of Hebrew or to de-
cipher the character of Mr.. Pitman
