The election of Colonel A. S. Buford
as President of the Business Mems Biy-
an and Sewall Club adds 20 the unique
ness of things political. Three years ago
when the Times 80 bitterly opposed The
nomina ton of Colonel O'Fer:all for Gov
ernor, it was largely through the efforts
of the gentlemen who control the Time
that Colonel 13uford was brought out
as a candidate for the nomination. Now

Eastern District of Virginia, Occas!oned
no surprise here. l stated In this CORE

as TO who will succeed the Captain. OF
course Senators Daniel and Martin Will

suit Governor O'Ferrall. Colonel James
Lyons is the only person mentioned here
for uhe Office. He was Assistant Dis

from one of the medical fnen.

1t proved to be true. Miss Craley,
having overheard the baronet threaten
his son with the loss of the heirloom,

conceived the cunning idea to secure
them for Sir Charles by putting them
in the coffin with the corpse, whence
they might never have been disinterrcd,
had not both Ben and 1 gone on a wrong
tact to find out the truth.
A brief examination proved that Sir
Henry had died from natural causes.
and the body was reburied with duo
solemnity. But we cared little for the
failure in that direction. We had UNI
earthed the missing heirloom, and we
kept the rest of the secret TO ourselves.
All our suspicious melted into thin air.
Lady Ellesmere had not murdered her
husband-she had never had a lover or
an accomplice-she had not purloined
the jewels-we were almost ready to
believe that she had been n devoted wife
and stepmother! Sir Charles was de-
lighted with the recovery of his prop
erty-the little dwarf screamed with
pleasure when she saw 1t back again
and Ben and / were laden with compli-
ments and congratulations. So ended
