cipally SO that it may join the collection
and cease to be temptation in this
world Of wickedness.
"Then Mr.. Gray did not steal it?'
asked Mr.. Barnes, touch Of chagrin in
his voice.
"No, Mr.. Barnes, Mr.. Gray did not
steal it. But you are not to consider
yourself very much at fault. Mr.. Gray
tried to steal it, only he failed. That
was not your fault, of course. You read
his actions Alright, but you did not give
quite enough weight to the stories of
the others.
"What important point did omit
from my calculation?'
II might mention the bare arms
which Mrs. Gray said she felt around
her neck. It was evidently Mr.. Gray
who looked for the opal on the neck of
his sister-in-law, but as he had not
barred his arm he would not have done
so later. "
"Do you mean that Miss Livingstone
was the thief?"
"No. Miss Livingstone, being hyster-
ical, changed her seat without realizing
it, but that does not make her a thief.
Her excitement when with you was due
to her suspicious, which, by the way,

the thief. Mrs. Gray told me his name,
but would you not like to hear how 1
had picked him out before we went
aboard? still have that bit of paper
upon which l wrote his name in con
frmation of what l say"
"Of course I know now that you mean
Mr.. Livingstone, but l would like to
hear your reasons for suspecting him.
"From your account, Miss Living
stone suspected some one, and this caused
her to be so agitated that she was nm
aware of the fact that she had changed
her seat Women are shrewd in these
affairs, and I was confident that the girl
had some reason for her conduct 1t was
evident that the person in her mind
was either her brother or her sweet
heart. ! decided between these two
men from your account Of your inter
views with them. Moore impressed you
as being honest, and he told you that
one of the ladies suspected him. In this
of course he was mistaken, but his
speaking to you Of it was not the act of
a thief. Mr.. Livingstone, on the other
hand, tried to throw suspicion upon Mr.;
Gray"
"Of course that was sound reasoning
after you had concluded that Mrs. Gray
was lying. Now tell me how you recov-
cred the jewel?'
"That was easier than I expected l
simply told Mr.. Livingstone when got
him alone what knew, and asked him
to hand me the opal. With perfectly
imperturbable manner, understanding
that promised secrecy, he quietly took
it from his pocket and gave it to me,
saying:
Women are very poor conspiratora
They are too weak.
"What story did you tell Mr.. Gray?"
"Oh! He would not be likely to in
quire too closely into what should tell
him. My check was what he most cared
for. I told him nothing definitely, but
inferred that his wife had secreted the
gem during the darkness that he might
not ask her for it again, and that she
had intended to find it again at some
future time, just as he had, meant to
pawn it and then pretend to recover it
from the thief by offering reward. "
Zone more question Why did Mr..
Livingstone steal it?'
"Ah, the truth about that is another
mystery worth probing, and one which
! shall make it my business to unrayel
I will venture two prophecies. First,
MI. Livingstone did not steal it at all
Mrs Gray simply handed it to him in
the darkness. There must have been
some powerful motive to lead her to
such an act, something which she was
weighing and decided impulsively. This
brings me to the second point Living
stone used the word 'conspirators,
which is clew. You will recall that l
told you that this gem is one Of pair
of opals, and that with the other the
two would be as interesting as any
Jewels in the world. I am confident
now that Mr.. Livingstone knows where
that other opal is, and that he has been
urging Mrs. Gray to give or lend him
hers as means Of obtaining the other.
If she hoped to do this, it would be
easy to understand why she refused to
permit the sale of the one she had.
This, of course, is guesswork, but I'll
promise you that if any one ever owns
both it shall be your humble servant,
Leroy Mitchell, jewel collector.

CRAMP In THE LEG.-Many persons
of either sex are troubled with cramI
in one or both of the legs, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t usually comes
on suddenly, and while it lasts the
pain is acute. Most people jump out
Of bed-the cramp nearly always
comes on just after going to bed or
while undressing-and either rub their
leg or get some one else to do it fol
them.
There is nothing easier than to
overcome the spasm, and the method
suggested is as follows:
Provide good strong cord-a gar
ter will do if nothing else is handy.
When the cramp comes on, take the
cord, wind it arour i the leg over the
place in which the pain is felt, and
take one end in each hand, and give it
sharp pull, one that will hurt little
The cramp will cease instantly, and
the sufferer can 20 to bed assured that
it will not come again that night.

THE NEW PARTY.

Nothing is more common in Ameri-
ca nowadays than the formation OF
new parties.
A score of dissatisfied men get TO-
gether, humble jargon lncompre-
hensible to any but themselves,
swear or promise allegiance to the
nondescript movement, and the next
day the public is informed through
the daily press of the birth Of a new
"party."
Some men believe in scooping ev-
cry indulgence the government Of
fers. Nothing is too foolish or peri
lous for them. They would under
take to scale red hot poker with as
much coolness as they display when
organizing new "party." What
an ungainly sight government like
ours would present could every tom,
dick and harry party carry out its
views. The fable of the confusion of
the tower Of Babel would be as moth
ing compared with what these men
would give us.
But after all we have something
to be thankful for: America is not a
willing patient. She will not con-
sciously subject herself to the treat
ment of ''know-nothings."
The intelligent people OF this great
government are satisfied with the dem
ocratic and republican parties. They
are both broad enough to contain
any sane suggestion; they are the
results of long years Of study and ex-
perience, and though some Of their
tenets may occasionally be changed
to meet the requirements of majori-
OF their followers, the oriniginal pur-
poses of the parties remain intact.
The thinking people Of this gov
ernment are satisfied with the two ma
tioual parties they now have, and
will have none of the new-fanpled
dish now offered them. The latest
new party" cannot bring about The
result 1t has set out to obtain, and is
doomed to an ignominous end.

BISHOP O'SULLIVAN.

An illustrious man by the grim destroyer
has been sought,
And the vast heart of the universe with
grief Is rife;
But the bright reflection of the noble
deeds he wrought
viii guide mankind DER the patbless
vale of life.
In the death of Bishop O'Sullivan
the Roman Catholic church has lost
an energetic worker and faithful
minister. He was an intellectual
monument, but knew it not. Plain
and unassuming, not essaying to
know more than his fellowmen, he
lived a useful life. The Catholic
church will universally miss him, and
in Mobile, where he spent the last
eleven years Of his life, the fruits
of his labor will stand as a perpetual
reminder Of the great man who has
gone before.
But man like Bishop O'Sullivan
cannot die. His flesh and blood may
fade from the memory of man; but
his heart and soul are eternal, and
will illumine the long corridors Of
ages to come and point out to those
groping in the dark the pathways Of
duty and righteousness.
or the dead Bishop, among other
things, the Mobile Register says:
"He was man Of infinite capacity
for taking pains. This is a noted de-
finition Of what constitutes genius !;
andin this sense Bishop O'Sullivan
was genius.
"He was man of much clerical
dignity. He honored his office, even
as his office honored him; but at the
same time he did not let it confer
any privileges or benefits upon
himself. He never shirked any work,
no matter how tedious or Iowly. He
never spared himself. He REQUIRED
that others should work, but he new
er failed to set an example. He did,
indeed, do more than any other, and
his influence was felt in every part
of his diocese. He was interested in
everything. The poorest of his con-
gregation had a claim upon him and
could make it good. He was thought-
inl Of the poor, and be loved all the
little people.
''He was an earnest advocate of
temperance. A total abstainer him
self, he urged upon all the merit of
so living as to be at all times self
contained, sober and self.respecting.
With this view, he preached absti-
nence from the use ofliquor; and be-
gan with the little boys, organizing
temperance bands, and believing
that when once the seed is rightly
planted it would germinate in the
man.

BRYAN'S NOT7FTOATTON.

Mr.. Biyan's speech on the occa-
sion Of his official notification at Mad
ison Square garden, New York, on
Wednesday, of this week, was all
hat could have been desired.
1T was plain and to the point, and
could be easily comprehended by the
people to whom it was directed. 1t
will be masterpiece of campaign
literature, and will rebound greatly
to making the democratic party vic
torious in November.
1t has been criticised by some as
"boring and uninteresting;" but this
is unkind, in that an exposition Of
facts and figures was never intended
as thrilling eloquence.
Mr.. Bryan did well, and we feel
proud Of our next president.

ing something great by trying to do
the same; other leaders that we re
may place the-ocean between them
and the November election; little

bination cannot change the demo-
cratic party.

ION. w. M. DENNY WITH,
DRAWS.

The following card which appeared
in Wednesday issue ot the New Or.
leans Picayune, announcing the with
drawal Of Congressman Denny from
the contest, will be regretted by his
many friends and supporters.
To the Democracy Of the Sixth
Congressional District of the State of
Mississippi: The result of the pri-
maries held throughout the district
on the 10th is evidence that the de-
mocracy Of this district desire to be
represented in congress by one who
profusses TO believe IN the flnarcial
relief promised the country by the
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 16 to
/, independent OF other nations,
rather than by one who accepts this
doctrine only because the democratic
party has declared for ii. Thus con-
vInccd, there is but one course left
for me to save my friends In the
counties which have not yet acted In
in convention or primaries any en-
baressment, and that is to withdraw
from the race for cangress, which /
here now do. In pursuing this course
| desire toreturn my sincere thanks
to these friends who have so Loyalty
supported me in this canvass, Words
cannot express my deep and lasting
gratitudeto them, and / hope all
will go forward and use every effort
to secure the election of democrats
nominated at Chicago, as well as the
nominees Of the conventio to be held
at McComb City on the 25lh day Of
August, 1896. W. NJ. DENNY.
But In our opinion Mr.. Denny
should not have waited until his
chances for reelection we're cut off be-
fore Withdrawing from the race.
Such course a few months ago
would have stamped him as states.
man Of the highest order and immor-
tallzsd him inpolitica. history; today
we accept it as the inevitable.
Congressman Denny is at heart a
gold man. He could not consistent
ly nor conscientiously have advocat-
ed the free coinage of silver, much
less could he have voted for II with,
out feeling that he had unpardonably
compromised himself.
Some few months ago when it was
frs intimated that Congressman
Denny would, il reelected, vote as
instructed, The Echo instantly con-
demned his course as unbecoming on
American statesmen. Every word he
would have uttered in advocacy oi
free silver coinage would have beer
in direct opposition TO his convictions
"a condition which II inaugurated,
could only result disastrously to oul
system Of government.
Mr.. Denny has not made a bad
congressman. II usually takes new
congressman sometime before he car

WELD ony influence, but not so with
Mr.. Denny. He made known his
presence from the start which result.

or Mr.. Love, the only remaining
candidate in the field, this sections
knows nothing of. He is reported,
however, to be an earnest speaker
as well as an earnest worker, and II
elected will complete the work began
by Mr.. Denny. Barring dark horse,
which is not altogether improbable,
Mr.. Love is our next congressman.

Though not spoken Of as much as
the money question, the pension
question is of moment, In that old
soldiers and their dependents are d.
rectly concerned and vast expen-
diture of public money involved. Are
the boilers prepared to say that the
system set forth in the 1895 platform
rs not as thoroughly democratic as
that of 1892?
The pension view as voiced in the
platform Of lS96Ais not possessed of
any feature which warrants the abuse
1t is receiving, simply because il is
in the democratic platform. The
same sentiment not many months ago
whould have found ready favor with
the very ones who today rejects It.
The plank is presented to every
democrat with the highest possible
recOmmenuall0n-t condemnation
of it by the republican party.
But 1T shall not pe rejected by
democrats. Those men who ignore
1t could not be made to adhere to
any pension policy; 1t is nothing to
them and their ap parent dissatisfac
tion is mere pretension. But to dem
ocrats the pension clause is as impor-
tant as any part of the platform and
will be until the last pensioner clos
es his eyes, reyerently thinking OF
the great and good government.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
boilers cannot offer the pension plank
as justification for their action.
