depths of its oily contnts, as il fas-

Sprague came and stoot beside him
and gazed curiously into he viscous
liquid. There was nothingthere that

presently; "the old woman is coming
as fast as she can"
''What old woman?' asked the de-
tectiye.
Il don't know. Perhaps ] ought to
have said an old woman. l hear her
lfobbling on the stairs"
The detective placed his ear TO the
keyhole. After listening attentively,
bs turned to the reporter with an in
credulous smile.
swell, Mr.. Sturgis," said he, IF you
can hear anything in there, your ears
are sharper than mine. That's all
can say"
"She is on the second fight" replied
the reporter, quietly. Now she is in
the second-story hall-and now you
can surely hear her coming down the
last flight"
BY this time, sure enough, the sound
of footsteps began 10 be audible to the
other three men; and presently the
door opened and disclosed the scared
face of an old Irish woman.
"And phwat might yez be wantin,'
gintlemin, to be after scarin' an ould

imp she asked, somewhat aggressive

piled one of the detectives.
Mister who, is ito"
"Thomas Chatham. Showme the way
TO his room. I'll go right up, and my
friends will wait for me here"
mister Thomuz Chathum, is it?"
said the old woman; "well, we've come
TO the wrong house to see him, do be
thinlxin', fer he don't live here"
"Come, that won't do" said the de-
tective, sharply; 1--WE belong to the po-
lice, and we saw Chatham enter this
house."
At the mention of the police, the old
hag's parchment face became shade
yellower and her eyes glistened.
'Sure, thin, IL he do be hidin' here,
it's mesilf as 'ud know it," she said,
after q short interval; "but yez can

Whereupon she turned and hobbled

or course you cannot be rival for
Miss Murdock's affections, since you
do not even know her"
"No," laughed Sturgis. regaining his
composure, II am not your rival. AS to
the other point, while / can hardly

lady, / think saw her not more than

"A couple of hours agoi" exclaimed
Sprague; "why, l was with her myself

And he thereupon related to the re-

LEGEND OF THE TOPAZ.
Blind Emperor's sight
by snake.

The topaz is called the stone OF graf
itude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives it's attribute, says the
Philadelphia Press:
"The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside them on GER
tain days, hearing and putting to right
the grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but TO sound the gong, and i'm
mediately admission into the presence
OF Caesar was obtained.
"One day a great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, and Theodosius gave or
ders that no one should modest the
lcreature, and babe her tell him her
wish. The snake bent her headlin HON.
ge and straightway told the following
tie:
kHer nest was at the base OF the gate
