'These things" said the Jewish mer-
chant, motioning Dick 10 seat and
taking one himself, 'are one. The
ling contains a stone for which for
ages formed the right eye of the iigure
of Mahadeva at Sarnath until il was
carried of by some adventurous Mus
sulman about two hundred years ago.
Ii has been traced from hand TO hand
during all that time by those who had
devoted themselves to returning IL 20
the deity, but the difficulty has been
that ii will only be received again as
free gift from one who has himself
received it as q gift from another in
reward for service done. Even this
might no doubt have long ago been done
but for the fact that the eye of the
deity is ever open to warn its possessor
of an attempt to obtain it by fraud or
violence"
The merchant stopped and looked at
Dick, and Dick sat and looked help
lessly at the ring. The statement just
made seemed ct once to let in whole
flood of light Oh everything that had
happened, but il left the mystery of
the ring untouched. What was 10 be
Gone with the thing now? Dick looked
up suddenly into the merchants face.
"And what" he asked, would you
ndvise me to do with the confounded
thing?"
The merchant smiled quietly as he
stroked his beard. "Sell it, he replied.
"But," said Dick, who would buy
such thing?"
The old man smiled again. III will

thoughtfully, for moment. 81 will

returned i'm minute with bank notes

he handed TO Dick.
'And deyilish glad was TO get rid of
the thing on any terms" said Dick, as
he finished telling the story at our mess
table at Lucknow, after we got back
again. "Why, I'd gladly have given it
to the old beggar for nothing"

at him, for there was something In his
tone that sounded as if he knew some
thing about it.
"Why," Dick said, "do you know what
he did with it?"
"Yes, 1 happen TO know that he sold
it for five iacs of rupees about a month

"The devil!" said Dick"

moment Bani struck at him fiercely.
Both men staggered backward and Dick
snatched the sword bayonet from Ban;'s
hand as it dropped helplessly by his
side. The third man. seeing him armed,
gave long, melancholy cry, and with
out renewing the attack melted into
the darkness.
Before Dick could return to where
Bani lay on the ground, doors were
opened in several of the courtyard walls,
and more than one light showed figures
hurrying out.
"Are you much hurt, Bani?" said
Dick, lSneeling beside the silent figure
that lay so still in the shadow. There
was no reply. "He has tainted" he said,
looking up into the face of "a tall, ven-
erable-loolSing figure with white beard
who had come up accompanied by sew
eral others who seemed TO be his serv-
ants, and one of whom carried lantern.
The tall man motioned 70 the servant
beside him, who instantly stepped for
ward with the lantern and threw its
light on the PROSTATE figure.
Not so," said the tall man, gravely.
The man is deadi"
Two of the men lifted Bani and car
ried him into the house from which
the party had come. Not word was
said as they did so, and Dick, with
bowed head and feeling of very sim
cere sorrow. followed them through the
gateway. across the courtyard, where
he could dimly make out fountain,
the water from which fell with a gentle
drip in the darkness, and thence into
a hall lighted by swinging lamp
which threw q soft, luxurious light
upon the room. They laid Bani down
on couch, TO which they were direct
ed by silent wave of the old mans
hand.
II have to thank you, sir" Dick said,
"for the trouble you have taken, al

"Your servant?" he asked, turning
towards Dick, with courteous gesture.
"Yes, sir. / am Capt. Thurston, OF

Bulbs of Fancy Glass Now SurmOunt

The decline of the big sleeve
may be problematical, but the de-
cline of the befrilled lamp shade is
a fact. Silently, and by degrees,
it is folding its ballet dancer fluff

room for bulb shaped globes of ex-
quisite glass. The latter are of all
colors, many of them enameled in
gold, and range in price from three
to seven dollars.
The effect upon entering room
illumined by them is novel and
charming. A yellow harvest moon
seems beaming in one corner, the
rosy glow of sunrise warns another,
but the very prettiest effects are
the white and blue Delft globes,
where a blue ship in the fore

Easter Lilies in Bermuda.


Usually the first drive taken by
the stranger in Bermuda is to st.
George Old stone walls, covered
with flaming blossms in the spring,
separate the road from tiny patches
of Bermuda onions, and the fields
of Easter lilies for which Bermuda
is becoming famous. In blankets
of white the lilies stretch out, too
pure, too delicate, too beautiful, for
adequate description. The luXuri-
ance and perfection of the lilies is
all the more surprising when it is
known that not much more than
ten years ago there were no Easter
lilies in Bermuda worthy of mention.
General Hastings, whose wife is a
niece of the late eX- President Hayes,
began to plant them extensively
about decade ago; now they cover
the island with a white robe at
Easter time; and their cultivation
constitutes one of the principle in
dustries of the islands. In March
they are in their glory, and convert
Bermuda into a fairy land of sweet
odors and queen-like nodding lilies.
To right and to left of you, before
and behind, field after field spreads
Its wealth of blossoms; and fire.
quently the fields are surrounded
by oleander hedges, which add the
beauty of their masses of wax-like
pink blossoms. A moonlight view
of these lily fields il a positively
uncanny, unreal sight; like ghosts
of flowers they seem, in their daz-
cling, ethereal whiteness, and the
experience is one never to be for
gotten.
The lilies are exported in immense
quantities, and for this purpose are
cut while still in bud; each bell is
wrapped in moss or cotton, and
then they are packed with great
care, sixty or a hundred in a box.
Several thousand boxes are shipped
annually, and they sell in Bermuda
for two dollars a box; with guar
antee, however, that they shall
arrive in England, Canada, or the
United States in good condition.
The average stalk produces from
six to eight buds; but occasionally
a proud grower obtains a marvel
which bears seventy,tWo blossoms.

For all That Travel.

Occupy no more space than you
require.
Don't giggle or look about in a
public conveyance. 1t is under
bred.
Always have your name on the
inside of your umbrella and on the
tag of your bag.
Never take magazines or other
salable articles on the stalls in your
hand unless you intend to buy
them.
Don't talk of your private affairs
when travelling in vehicles of any
kind. There are always listeners.
When travelling with friends be
quiet at times. Many people can
not stand the motion of q carriage.
In that case SILENCE is golden.
Give a boy some coppers to carry
your baggage. To go loaded is
vulgar.
To kiss "good- bye" too often is
very bad form. To ask questions
continually of a conductor is very
irritating. Don't do it.

mckinley is the GoIdbugs' rlan.

The goldites have evidently selected
Mckinley for the next Republican Pres
idential candidate and have started his
campaign with plenty of money to defray
expenses, while none has been provided
for the other aspirants, who are in conse-
quence unable to make much of a pre-
liniinary effort towards getting delegates
in readiness for the June national
convention.
There has been good deal of beating
about of the goldbug papers, lufing and
filling, sailing with tariff wind and anon
with all sails set for the gold breeze, evi-
IDENTIFY waiting for orders from Wall street
and London. Nothing short of gold
bug platform would be tolerated, and
after running on this tack shift would
be suddenly made and their sails filled
with the tariff breeze.
The gold ring after much prospecting
and evident consultation, has concluded
to make another attempt to bring out the
tariff tent with the old clown, and McKin-
ley is about settled upon and other aspi'
rants will be ordered off so that his NOM
nation will be announced as unanimous,
and all because Of his tariff record and
great popularity with the masses. As
much of a straddle as possible on the
money plank, is apparently the conclu,
ion of the gold conclave, and supreme
effort. to put tariff up as their fighting
issue.
A great deal of bluff has been tried but il
! has failed to back down the Populists and
free coinage sentiment, and the gold bank
ring has apparently reached the conclu'
sion that it would not be safe to risk a
pitched battle on the money question
alone with all else shut out, so an effort is
to be made to have as much as possible
pitched on the tariff issue. The rogues
are loath to abandon this old 1egerdemain
game in Presidential canvass. If they
don't change their order of battle before
the middle of June, the gold ring plan Of
campaign will be a straddle financial
plank and Mckinley tariff plank.
With all their tom tom beating and gold
shouting, they are evidently nervous.
The silver craze has received several death
blows and been proclaimed dead many
times, but apparently the Rothschild ring
are not satisfied that their brag and
buster have had the desired effect. Their
very latest is that the money question is
settled, the gold standard established and
no more need be said on that head, and a
Mckinley tariff No. is to be the issue in
order to bring prosperity and revive bus
mess ~ If the people of these United
States can be fooled by such sham they
have less sense than they are credited
with possessing.
The gold national bank ring will pour
out tens of millions if they can distribute
the money judiciously, in this supreme
effort to buy their way again to the White
House. 1t is reported about Washington
by men who stand high in the Senate,
and whose word can be relied on, that
Mckinley is as corrupt tool as the gold
ties can find. Being Sherman's choice is
strong circumstantial evidence of that.
