Claims Big Damages.

In suit filed today by Mahlon Hutchin-
Son against the Columbia Chemical Com
pany. William P. Springer and James c.
Hayden, Mr.. Hutchinson charges that the
defendants in a certain proceeding in court
charged him with violation of the decree
restraining William A. Hammond and
others from manufacturing certain ami
NAL extracts, and asked that he, Hutchin-
son. be punished for contempt. He says
that when the case was heard recently
by Judge Cole he was found not guilty
and the case was dismissed against him.
He alleges that the defendants well knew
all the time that he was not guilty, but
charges that they made the complaint
only to vex and annoy him, to put him
to trouble and expense and to injure him
in his standing. business and profession
He claims $4,000 damages.

shot Droubet had turned and darted from
the door, and when reached it a moment
later he had disappeared in the passing
throng.
How to act in an emergency of this kind
puzzled me. Should call upon the Paris
ian police to assist me in capturing this
man? So far I had acted entirely alone,
and 1 had at present no authority to pur-
sue and capture the thief. Coming to Paris
in pursuit of evidence, 1 had stumbled upon
my man at once, but now that knew him
for a receiver of the stolen diamonds felt
myself powerless to act until had more
direct evidence of his guilt.
The first thing 1 did was to lock the
street door. Then I re-entered the little
back room, and was rejoiced to find the
oak door slightly ajar. Had 1t been closed
should have required locksmth to open
it, and at present I preferred to work
alone.
1 pushed open the door and entered. 1t
vas Droubet's workshop, and was COM
posed of four solid brick walls, lighted
from skylight. and with no means of
egress excepting the oak door.
In the center of the room was bench
containing the implements required by
diamond cutter, and one or two half-cut
stones also lay upon 1t.
There WIS another bench behind the door,
and when l turned toward 1t l stopped
abruptly, while my heart seemed turned to
stone as realized what a revelation con-
fronted me. Piled upon the back of the
tench were more than score of brightly
me, and the leaves were perforated with
round hole near the edge!
A steel die, used for cutting this hole,
stood beside the book, and under the bench
were several new packing cases.
With horrible fear at my heart-a sick
eEing certainty of what I should see,
turned over one Of the cases and found it
marked:
IN. JULES CRoNEAU.
Bookseller,
18th street, New York.
I sank into chair and buried my face in
my long search-the search whose reward
was to have been the happiness of my
darling Josephine. I had been so joyous a
Gay before; l had thought myself so near
the successful termination of my task!
That very evening" as 1 walked to my in
teryiew with M. Droubet, had pictured to
myself the cozy home I should establish
when my reward was earned, and the joy
of seeing Josephine fitting lightly about
the sunny rooms, nlinistering to the COM
fort of her husband and of that father she
loved so devotedly.
If my little girl, with her frank nature
and pure, sweet soul, discovered that her
father was thief, the knowledge would
surely kill her, or at least embitter her
whole life. She was likely to refuse to
marry an honest man with this faint upon
her name. And then I conceived a deter
mined resolution that never, could 1 pre-
vent it, should my darling know the truth.
What matter it to the owners of Bonita,
now that the theft was discovered and the
arch-criminal dead, now that no more
stones could be stolen and disposed of,
what mattered it If one or two of the minor
ment? I dared not arrest Droubet now, for
his capture would be sure to implcate M.

He was informed that in the present exigency the matter could not be given attention at general headquarters. but it was deemed impor- tant to deal summarily with spies, be they male or female. He was therefore ordered to convene ''drumhead" court martial, try the prisoner, and if found guilty execute the sentence, what ever it might be, without delay.
 When Colonel Maynard read this or der, every vestige of color left his face. He could not believe the evidence of his senses. Was it possible that he, Mark Maynard, once condemned to be execut- ed for a spy, was called upon to super intend the trial and the execution which would doubtless follow of another for the same offense. and that other wom- an? Yet there were the instructions duly signed By order, and only one meaning could be attached. He held it istlessly in his hand for awhile and then handed it to his chief of staff.
