moment of the terrible load upon it, "you
didn't wear that ring last year when you
were up here. I'm sure you didn't; now,
did you, Mr.. Norris 7"
"You are right. I did not" answered
Norris, amused at the sight of the woman
who stood ~spellbound, with her eyes
riveted upon the gem.
That's n very fine stone, Mr.. Norris"
said Kate Caneff, with particular stress
ON the ''very.''
"Ha, ha, hav' laughed the banker.
SWELL well, who would have expected to
find a connoisseur in diamonds up here
in the North Woods. Ha, ha, ha! pray.
Kate, where did you get your knowledge
from?
"Oh, I was oncc a lndy's maid in a rich
family in Albany" replied Kate. ''and my
mistress had a great deal of diamond
jewelry, so ! learned"
At this instant the woman's eyes fell
upon IN object lying on the table. In
stinctively she appeared to divine it's use,
and vet 1t flashed through her mind that
1t would be more proper for her to feign
ignorance, and SO, while the voice of her
drunken husband rang in her ears and
the room seemed suddenly to grow dark,
she stammered out:
"Pray, Mr.. Norris, do tell me what that
thing is fOry'
.sThat Kate?" replied Norris. "Why,
how stupid you are, to be sure. That's
only a money belt. Did you ever see one
before"
Never in my life, Mr.. Norris" was the
answer; and with that Kate took the belt
in her hands and scanned it closely, while
Norris looked IN in an amused way ut her
open-mouthed establishment. Had he OBJ
served a little more closely he would have
noticed that her hands trembled and her
breath came hard.
In a moment Kate quieted down, and
then, laughingly, remarked:
Here's where you put the money in, I
suppose, Mr.. Norris"
"Yes. that's the place, Kate said Nor
ris, as he pulled away calmly ut his cigar.
And ! suppose you've got a small for
tune tucked away in here this very min
ute, Mr.. Norris" continued the woman.

Norris with a sly chuckle, sunless you

six or seven hundred dollars!' echoed
Kate Caneff, with wide-opencd eyes.
A loud rap at the door startled her SO
that she let the money belt fall to the
floor.
1t was Burt Tyler.
"Ah, Burt, glad to see you, old fellow;
come right in; it's only Kate. Low
bridge, Bnrt," laughed Norris as the guide
bent his towering form to pass clear of
the door. Kate Caneff didn't dare look
up at Burt's honest face. It seemed to
her that one glance from his eyes would
look her through and through. 'Don't
be In a hurry, Kate!" Norris called out.
But she vas gone.

Burt Tyler had just hooked a fine trout
when the two pistol shots startled him.
His first thought was to drop his rod and
run back to see what the matter was, but
so eager was he to land his fish. knowing
as he did MIR. Norris fondness for broiled
trout, that he had no difficulty in persuad-
ing himself that the banker was merely
trying a pistol, or a catamount or bear
had disturbed his nap. He knew, too,
that he was only a short half mile from
the camp, and that a vigorous halloo
would reach him with the greatest ease.
SO he turned his whole attention to land
ing his fish, which proved to be a fine one,
and fifteen minutes later was speeding
like a deer along the path leading to the
camp.
"Mr. Norris" he called out gayly as he
drew near. "Mr. Norris, l have him, bu1

that during the previous four weeks
"a very large business has been trans

ceptions,' was keen, especially for the

feeling ''in the best merino -rowths."

The returns of the British Board of
Trade for 1894 show that imports into
the United Kingdom increased by $l9,-
100000, or nearly 1 per eel more than
the imports of 1893. The export trade
fell off l per cent, or nearly SIC. OOO,-
coo in amount. The decline in the val
ues of goods, it is thought. will fully
account for the %shrinkage in export
values. because the volume Of bust
ness was certainly greater than in 1893,
chiefly owing to the larger quantity of
goods shipped to the United States. In
cotton goods the British exports in
a IA per cent. In quantity anil
only 5L per cent. in value.

"Strike him, Kate" he whispered to
her, with an oath. II tell you he is one of

"Stuff, Kate. listen to me- urged the
husband, half sobered by his visions Of

this Caneff gave a rafting. wheeling,
drunken laugh. "You know how to do
it. Go into his room a-crying. Take on

feel sorry for you. Then, when he asks
what the trouble is, say that l have just
stolen a hundred dollars from you-your

the same time they found man in hid
ing. He, refused to give any account Of
himself, and when charged with being
the horse thief he did not deny it. It
was not until he was put on trial in. the
higher court that was retained. He
stoutly declared his innocence and had
several men on hand to prove his good
character, but he wouldn't account for
his whereabouts on the night the horse
was stolen. not only felt sure of his
guilt, but had no show to make for him
and wasn't disappointed when he was
convicted offhand. As to the 'circum-
stantial' part, they proved that he knew
the horse and had said he felt tempted
to steal it; also that he y seen that

For some months past people in
the States and in certain OF the
larger cities, such as Cleveland,
Ohio, having tasted various Ha-
waiian fruits and the products
thereof, have been discussing the
advisability OF extensive manufac-
turing and packing establishments
In Honolulu. In the opinion of
many Of these, money invested in
this manner would surely bring
great profit. The facilities of the
soil has been a subject also much
discussed in connection with the
proposed scheme of setting up es-
adjustments on the islands. By
the Australia yesterday Mr.. w. C..

Jelly has the reputation of ranking
in the topmost shelf OF jellies.
