In consequence of an inspection recently
made OF the trophies deposited in the
Riddarholm Church at Stockholm, Swe-
den a conservative Christiania newspaper,
the "Aftenposten.'' suggests that the his
torical origin of these trophies, as far as
possible, be verified. If. in so doing. it
should be found that the collection-as has
been insisted--includes Norwegian stand
ards not captured in war but improperly
carried away. an opportunity of restor-
ing such colors to Norway is now at hand
and should not be neglected. On two oc-
casons in the past Norwegian military
flags have been appropriated by the
Swedes and taken to Stockholm In 1914,
pending the negotiation between Berna-
dotte and the provisional Government of
Norway which resulted in the present
union between the two countries on terms
of perfect equalty.lit was agreed that the
Norwegians, as pledge of their sincerity
were to evacuite the important fortress
Fredrikosten, which was to be Temporal

Though this was voluntary act of an
unconauered nation the Swedes. never
theless in eyacuating the fortress carried
with them all the Norwegian military
flags found within its walls. On a sub
seouent occasion when Bernadotte in an
endeavor to intimidate the Norwegian

The publication of the will of the Ger
man Empress Frederick, with the state
ment that her property consisted almost
wholly of her English dewry. recalls how
rapidly the British royal allowances have
fallen of late. The Duke of Sase-Coburg
death In July last year put an end to an
allowance of $4,000 year; the death of
Queen Victoria released SiSO,0JO paid TO

to be paid till six months after her
Majesty's death. The death of Empress
Frederick terminates an annuity of $i0.Wo.

In All Ages Women Have Been Dazzlod
by Rich Gems
In all countries and in all ages5 wom-
en- seem to have inherited a love for
precious stones, and it Is no wonder
that these gems are popularity sup
posed to exercise some subtle magnet
ism that influences their natures.
This inherent passion may account In
a measure for the recent craze for some
mascotic jewel, a survival of medieval
superstition. Upon impressionable peo-
pie certain gems appear to WELD po-
tent influence. Who has not listened
to weird tales of some heirloom tails
man, which, when lost or stolen, pre-
saged the ruin of a noble house? A
person with a vivid imagination might
even believe in the theory of the Pytha-
goreans, who formulated the doctrine
that inanimate things are endowed
with souls. Certain evolutionists OF
today trace the origin of man back to
stones, asserting that in their adaman-
tine bosoms they contain the all-per-
vading essence of spirit, and that the
spark emitted from their crystalline
hearts is the revelation of the i'm
prisoned soul within. From time i'm
memorial jewels have served as pro-
pitiatory offerings at holy shrines, as
token of amity from one crowned head
to another, as mystic messengers OF
affection between distant friends, as
pledges OF constancy exchanged be-
tween plighted lovers. Men have bled
and died, kingdoms have crumbled,
families have been rent asunder, hus-
band and wife parted over the disputed
possession of some coveted jewel. Per-
haps poor Marie Antoinette, of ILL
starred memory, might have kept her
pretty head upon her shoulders had 1t
not been for the unfortunate affair OF
the diamond necklace. Women in ali
ages have succumbed to the temptation
OF gems. Faust bartered his soul for
the love of woman; Marguerite sold
hers for a gem-starred bauble.-Chica-
go Chronicle.

CHAPTER TX

Sleep was far from Janetta's eyelids
that night. She did not even attempt
to court it. She sat on hour after
hour, still wearing her evening dress,
with her chin resting in her hands,
and gazed, with eyeballs that ached
and throbbed, into the fire, trying to
read the future in the dying embers.
Mrs. Mortimer may feel satisfied
w,Rh her work." she said, half aloud.
"She and Mason betwees them have
hunted me down."
She rose to her feet as she spoke,
for she heard a sound as of some one
moving gently about, aud she went
swiftly to Clarice's room to see II she
were awake. A fresh wave OF repent
ance swept over her, for Clarice's fair
face. with the traces OF recent tears
upon it, was pressed against the pill
lows: but, to Janets unutterable
thankfulness, her regular breathing
and fast-shut eyes showed her to be
asleep.
She crept from the room, shutting
the door behind her, and returned to
her own; and then her heart stood
still, for from behind her door stepped
a man with n mask on his face, who
rapidly shut the door and set his back
against Il, and Janetta caught the
sound of a pistol lightly clicked.
Now, my dear" said the burglar,
quite softly, don't scream. One scream

a few minutes talk with you. so that
you and l can come to a good under
standing SIT down and take IL easy.
There can be no manner of good in
making n fuss"
Janetta stood. trying to steady the
trembling OF her limbs By resting her
hand on the table. She very well knew
that her own life and that OF her
friend might depend upon her keeping
self-control.
What do you wantw she said pres
emily.

Tell me everything she said" ia
Meta answered, with a sicbenlng dread
at her heart that Mrs. Mortimer had
guessed at or listened to what had
passed between her and Captain Meri-
vale.
she says that you are deceiving
me all the way round-that you are
the most awful firt, and she can provo
it,"
Her first charge may be dismissed
on that score, ct any rate" Janetta
said, little bitterly. THE man I
sent away just now-who, it is true,
had had more than enough to drink
was my only brother"
J2nettas head dropped with shame
as she made the confession.
ON, you poor darling!" cried C!ar-
Zee, trying to possess herself Of one OF
Janetta's hands; but the girl held them
folded in front of her.
Not yet" she said sadly-"not until
you know everything. Go on"
"She said that you are deliberately
setting your cap at Doctor Drake; that
you made an appointment to meet him
the day Harry left"
It's a lie!" said Janetta desperately.
Il met Doctor Drake that day by pure
chance and l stopped to ask him il he
could advise any method Of treatment
that would hasten your recovery. Any
thing else?"
You carry conviction, as you always
do" Clarice said, leaning back on her
pillows Il don't think will even hint
at her last charge; it is altogether too
impossible"
q must hear it," said Janetta hoarse-
ly
"she said you tried to make Harry
false to me. Oh, dear, it's too shame
full and wicked even to mention such
an accusation to one so true as you
ara"
There was a long pause; then Janet
ia lifted her head and looked full into
Clarices eyes.
In all my intercourse with Captain
Merivale I never said one word to him
that l would have been ashamed for
you to hear"
Clarice gave a little sigh of relief.
81 knew it, dear; but, just to satisfy
me, tell me straight out that you did
not care for him except as a friend.
Only to please me, not because l doubt
your"
A SILVER shook Janetta from head to
foot. She tried to speak, but though
her lips moved no sound passed them;
then she threw herself sobbing at Clar-
ices feet.
You are so good, so dear, I'll tell
you all the truth, come what will. I
10 love Captain Merivale. 1 didn't
know it, I didn't even guess it until
the day before he went away; then l
knew-but he doesn't. Nobody knows
but God and you, to whom 1 now con-
fess It in bitter repentance. l didn't
mean to do it, and / have vowed on
my knees that l will never see him
again-never again! That is why
went away the morning he left" The
words came fitfully between her sobs.
She could hear Clarice's breath com
ing and going in broken gasps.
And hep" she asked at last. HAS
he given you any hint as to his feel
ings for you? Am 1 to believe that
you have given your heart away I'M
asked? Did he tell you he cared for
you?"
"He said he might have cared"
"If had only been dead or out Of
the way" said Clarice, in cold, hard
voice. There is no help for it, Janet
Ia; Pm afraid we must part. Our
lives have unfortunately clashed."
Janetta rose and left the room in
silence.
