pendent consignment of safes for sale
at o low price and personally called
upon likely purchasers. At the outset
1t appe&Fed that the affair was going 10
be frost, as nobody seemed to be IN
clined to purchase on any terms. After
q few weeks, however, one of them was
sold to q finn of diamond merchants
trading as Lipinski Brothers, and out
wardly in a large way of business.
The other Eve could not be disposed of
and remained stored. All the while the
trio had kept studiously aloof except at
stated appointments and maintained
ms respectable department as was pos
sible at the period. They now saw
way to business, and prepared for IT,
1t was absolutely necessary to get some
confederates, and luckily one OF them
was employed us a sort of messenger
and handy man by the Lipinski firm.
He was apparently confirmed topper,
exhibiting IN abiding thirst, but with
q remarkable amount of cunning and
craft.
It was this man, Dennis by name, who
urged the absolute necessity of "squar-
ing" one of the detectives, and bringing
in u fifth party TO the exploit. This
seemed to John a good opportunity and
he advanced Dennis and Chiffon, the
"tec," $50 each with great cheerful
ness
All was now ready for the grand
coup. Dennis had informed them that
there were 10000 carats of diamonds
worth at that time about 6 10000, in the
safe awaiting transit by mail on the FOL
lowing day.
Never probably was q burglary SO
easily effected. Between midnight and
two O'clock the window Of the office had
been taken bodily out, the iron bars
which were merely mockery to an ex-
perienced craftsman, wrenched from
their sockets, and the safe opened and
four precious parcels safely transferred
TO the lodgings of the adventures. The
night was dark, and positively no sus-
picions whatever seemed to have been
aroused.
John and his two accomplices opened
the parcels and gazed, with glee and
exultation on the glittering, ghstening
gems that were to make them all rich
for life. They fully expected that next
day therS would be q great commotion
in the town, and that on the following
day the newspapers would be full OF TIE
sensational account Of the robbery. But
not word appeared in either OF the
sheets.
The circumstance was very plausibly
explained by Dennis and Chiffon, who
declared that the detective department
had insisted upon silence on the part OF

A Tall Rnt Story.

The London Field tells this story: y
rot was caught alive on board British
naval vessel in trap, and the beast was
thrown from the trap into the water
without being killed. A large gull that
was following in the wake of the ship
to pick up scraps of food thrown over
board by the steward swooped down
several times, endeavoring to pick the
rat up. Once the bird got too close to
the rats jaws, and the beast grabbed it
by the neck. After short fight the rat
succeeded In killing the bird. When the
gull was dead the rat scrambled upon
the birds body, and, hosting one wing
as sail and using the other as rudder,
succeeded In steering for the shore
Whether the rat reached shore or not is
the question, since the ship soon got out
of sight of the skipper and its craft.

know the story was coming, and that

tell their story before they would go

NEWS FROM AP|A
Report That TamaSese
Was Made King.
News Come from German Sourc =
ard May Not be Rel bIe-a msri-
can Consul Mixed UP.

CHICAGO. Oct. IA special cable
to the Chicago Tribune from Berlin
says:
News comes from Apia that the ma
tives have proclaimed Tamasese as
king, despite the recent agreement of
the United States, Germany and Great
Britain to abolish that office.
The Cologne Gazette's Apia CORE
spondent sends a long indictment of
the Consular Government. He says the
natives do not conceal their disrespect
for the representatives of the treaty
powers, relating a singular incident as
an illustration. Tamasese invited the
officials and the leading white citizens
OF Apia to a wedding feast. All went
except the Germans.
The American Consul, Mr.. Osborne.
made speech, thus giving the affair
official recognition. Thereupon Tama-
sese's followers danced and sang i'm
promptu songs proclaiming Tamasese
as king, announcing the destruction of
the opposing natives If they resisted
his authority.
When the letter was mailed. Septem-
Der ;, hundreds of Tamasese's and Ia
nus followers were gathered ut Apia
preparing to swear allegiance before
the eyes OF the foreign Consuls by pre-
senting gifts and attesting homage.
The letter says New Zealand lawyer
named Gurr is managing the affair.
