WELL yes: at least one does. In fact, he

But you can't get it through with only

From the Chicago Tribune.
A certain young man living on the North
Side went out to call the other evening
upon a young woman of his acquaintance
whom he especially delighted to honor.
He was quite a young man, and his ex-
perience with florists had been neither
deep nor varied. 1t occurred to him, how
ever, on this particular evening to stop
a. a flower merchants and choose some
blossoms for the pretty girl toward whose
home he was vending his way.
Give me bunch of roses" he said care
lessly to the man of nosegays.
Yes. sir; how many, please?'
ooh, a couple of dozen or so'
In a few moments they were ready, and
the purchaser was feeling in his vest
pocket for 81 bill to pay for them. How
much?" he asked before the bill made its
appearance.
Eighteen dollars. SIR" replied the flor

He had unwittingly selected roses that
were seventy-f1ve cents apiece. But, as
has been said he was very young, and it

EGYPTIAN COLORS.
They Remain Unchanged for Forty
Centuries.

They Remain Unchanged for Forty
Centuries.
In antiquity. says Cosmos. besides indi-
go and purple, few colors were employed,
and these were obtained for the most part
from the vegetable kingdom. but their
purity was so great that they have kept
well to our own times, after having under
gone for centuries the action of the air
and the sun. The fact is particularly re-
markable in the Egyptian tombs; the stone
has been disintegrated by weathering
while the colors have been preserved. The
color that we meet most frequently Is a
mixture of a reddiSh-brow oxide Of iron
(red heplatite) and clay, known under the
name of Pompeiian red. This color, which
has resisted for 1900 years the sun of
Egypt and the action of the air, is equally
proof against acids. The Egyptians re-
duced it by rubbing between stones under
water to a degree of fneness that we can
not obtain nowadays by chemical precipi-
tation. An equally precious yellow pig
ment, also much used, was formed Of a
natural oxide Of iron mixed with much
clay, chalk and water, and Drowned by the
action of heat; the mixture Of the two
gold bronze or gold leaf was also employed.
For blue they used glass covered with
copper minerals; this pigment was not less
permanent than the preceding, even acids
having very little effect upon it. Gypsum
or plaster of paris furnished white and also
formed the basis of pale colors when or
ganic pigments were added to 1t, probably
thinned and rendered adhesive by means
Of gums. 1t is interesting to know. as Is
proved by inscriptions, that the artists re-
garded their colors as impersha BILE.

IH.-A FIRST SUSPICION
Mr.. Howard Forsythe was reading his
brothers letter. with a little frown upon
his brow, and 1 noticed that his lips We're
pressed firmly together. He wore gray
flannel shirt, with a neck scarf of dark
blue wide. loose trousers heavy boots and
broad-brfmmed straw hat. About his
waist was a leather belt. from which hung
q pistol holster. with the cleaning butt of
revolver protruding from it,
He finished the letter. folded it, placed it
In his pocket and stood UP.
You are welcome. MIR. Andrews. and
shall have all the assistance l can furnish
you. At the same time 1 cannot encourage
you to look for success, as we have about
abandoned hope of discovering the culprit
who Is rifiins Still. you can make
yourself at home, the steamer will not
call again for a month, and in that time
you may have either succeeded in unravel-
ing the mystery or realizing your helpless
ness. In a few moments / will introduce
you at headquarters" He paused and
looked toward the landing. At that mo-
ment two men had grasped a barrel of
cocoanuts and were carrying it aboard the
boat. Howard For5ythe never took his
eyes from that barrel until 1t swung out of
view into the hold. Then he turned to me-
colored slightly at seeing my eyes fixed
earnestly on his face. and said. with a
Short laugh:
"Our sole exporta ton, aside from the dia-
n1onds. Mother Videauxs cocoanuts are
the only thing the place will yield. and she
sends to France a barrel each month with
great regularity. But come. l will show
you the sights of Benita." and he led the
way slowly toward the entrance to the in
closure.
The buildings consisted of n number of
small cottages Or huts, which We're occu-
pied by the white foremen. or bosses"

The Iron chest of diamonds followed, the
captain signing the receipt on a smooth
rock near by, and then the whistle blew
shr1lly, and the steamer drew swiftly away,
and communication with the great world
was cut off for another long month.
Still. l had Josephine's letter to comfort
me; and the thought that had sent her all
my love In return; and resolved to throw
of all respondent thoughts, and go to
work with renewed vigor to unraveI the
mystery of the stolen diamonds.
But what could any man do but watch
and walt? Again the weeks dragged slowly
by. again and again 1 watched every detail
OF Mother Videaux'S visits to the inclosure
but could find no solution to the mystery.
Her actions. as well as those of Howard
Forsythe. were SO natural and free from
any attempt at concealment that almost
up hope of success. In three days the
steamer would be due again.
My position In the settlement this last
month was not enviable. Howard Forsythe
converse with me beyond a gruff word or
two when they could not be avoided. Z
called on Mr.. and Mrs. Delby, but they so
evidently considered me an intruder into
their domain that I did not repeat the ex-
pertinent. Herr Schlitz did not encourage
familiarity and so I was thrust upon my
own resources for entertainment. since the
bosses" were rough uneducated fellows,
with whom 1 had nothing in common.
l lounged in an easy chair in a shady cor
ner of the veranda and decided that the
third day from that should see me aboard
the steamer and bound for home. My trip
to Bonita was a failure. but there was
enough to do in America to retrieve my
wasted months.
A scratching sound upon the gravel made
ME look up. 1t was Mother Videaux on her
semi-weekly visit.
Howard Forsythe's window grating was
thrown up abruptly.
Here. you hag-come herew he called.
The old woman hobbled to the window and
he tossed part Of loaf of bread into her
basket. She mumbled a word of thanks
and went around to the kitchen. A sudden
idea came to me and arose and sauntered
toward the gate.
Going out. sir?" asked the guard.
For little walk" replied.
Nearly shutdown, SIR" he remarked. as
he deity turned out my pockets: better
some toward night; but they never wiggle
after the dark comes, unless they're dis
turted."
l knew the habits of the snakes well
enough by this time. and had, to an extent,
lest my earlier terror of them, but I took
the stick willingly and walked slowly to-
ward the lower end of the grove.
Once within its dim shadows, I increased
my speed and was soon standing opposite
Mother Videauxs hut. The old bag was
crawling slowly up the path toward her
at length she reached the hut, pushed open
the door and walked in. l crept softly over
the rocks to the back of the howell, keeping
we'll out of view from the Enclosure. as I
did not know who might be watching me.

Within day or go Bruneau, as the sleek
Partisan called himself. told the American
that he would have to so to Brussels short

like him to dine with them the evening be-
fore their departure. The dinner was a
superb affair, and the Irishman readily at
tracted the notice of the Philadelphia be-
cause of his large diamond pin and ring.
When the repast was ended the Irishman
paid the bill, leaving upon the table his
pocket book, which seemed to be full of
bank notes. Among other things the trio
got to talking of the confidence trick. and
the American laughingly related some
bunco experiences that he had heard of,
these hugely tickling the risibilities of the
foreigners. For the joke of the thing they
exchanged pocket books. the Irishman talk

Just then Bruneau seemed struck with an
inspiration. Let me show you," he said.

The most astounding instance of hypno-

One day she fell i'll. The illness was
slight, and she was on the high road to
recovery when her cousin, the doctor, hap
pened TO say unthinkingly and smilingly
in her presence, "Oh, good heavens! She is
paralyZed!' At once the child exhibited
every symptom Of paralysis, and she re-

doctor. Afterward he asked her If she was

full coughing and blood splitting that con-

She seemed so extraordinarily open to
every sort Of mesmeric Suggestion that
the doctor tried her with half the diseases
known In medical annals, and one by one
she responded to them all. He needed
only to remark that she was cured to have
her perfectly well a moment later. Per-

mates got paper pellet in her eye. From
pure sympathy the child magined that she
had the same trouble, too, and she rubbed
her eye to such an extent that she felt
