Visit she Wa deep In debt, though
I did not know II Ono night Lady
Brownlow had showed her the jewels.
and told her the priceless value Of her
pearl necklace. There was not one
like It in England.
"A few nights after temptation came
to her. / do not need to tell you how
my time Is short. She took the neck
lace while Lady Brownlow was absent
from her boudoir for a few minutes.
She hid them in my room, though I
did not know Of it then. The day after
she came in for them, when was sup
posed to be in town; but returned
unexpectedly, and caught her. She
wildly flung herself on my mercy, say
ing she had come to give them back.
1T was untrue; she sent her brother
her accomplice-to Paris to sell them
there. A few days later the loss was
discovered; there was hue and cry,
and all the rooms were searched. In
my room, in secret drawer of my
writing table, was found one of the
clasps of the necklace. with a bit of
crushed pearl adhering to it. In her
haste the necklace had caught in the
hasp of the drawer as Lady Lennox
thrust it in.
OF course, was accused. There was
other evidence against me; but let that
suffice. In mad desperation, Lady Len
nox sent me letter, beseeching me to
shield her. No one knows l have that
letter-not even her husband.
What could do? had once loved
her; 1 loved her husband. would
say nothing, and 1 was sent to Mon
mouth prison to await my trial. There
l heard that Sir Henry Lennox was
to prosecute.
"He came secretly to see me, and
told him all. told him 1 had con-
vincing proof of her guilt. 1 do not
know If he had known of it before, but
he besought me to spare him this aw-
full blow. He said it would ruin him
for life. and as for Clarice he dared
not think Of her doom. What could
I do? I agreed to hide the truth, and
my old friend promised to save me.
"That was when I knew Dundas
Lyndon. He certified that l was i'll,
and, when obtained greater liberty. l
escaped.
II came home because 1 heard Of
Lady Lennox's death; and I thought
Of my own child, to whom had moth
ing to leave but a stainless name. 1
came! I saw Sir Henry. He tried to
persuade me to keep silence; but now.
for my Jasmine's sake, cannot. Then
became i'll, and Lyndon came. Each
day wished him to allow me to 20
out, that might see a solicitor who
would undertake my case, but he
would not. He kept me back day by
day. And now 1 am dying; but leave
this and the proof of my innocence to
those who will see Justice done to my

Seven Story Communal Building Found
Near Gallue. n. NJ.
A seven story stone communal
building fifty by fifty feet was discov-
cred last week thirty-five miles north
east Of Gallup by O. R. Morrison,
writes the Santa Fe correspondent of
the New York Tribune. The building
was put up without cement. A num-
Der of stone utensils and weapons have
been found there also heads and parts
Of skeletons. Other ruins have been
found to the northeast and southeast
OF Gallup. There is no water within
i've miles of the communal building
and no signs of any other buildings,
There Is large quantity of broken
pottery near by. Along the foothills
OF the Zuni mountains, on almost
every point of the numerous volleys,
are found stone houses from two to
five feet above the ground, and below
the surface five or six feet. In some
instances large pine trees are growing
on the remains of old systems of ir-
rlgation, which are to be seen in places
where there is at present no sign OF
water. Ramah is built in the ruins of
an ancient city, where large blocks of
stone have been used in the construc-
ton of the houses. These evidences
OF large population are not confined
to this region, but extend in an almost
unbroken chain to Mexico on the south
and to the Rio Grande on the east.
Fifteen years ago seven car loads Of
stone utensils, arrow heads, weapons,
beads, pottery and bones of all des-
criptions were shipped to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington.
but this region has not been touched
in the way of exploration in the in
terest Of archaeology. The early Span
ish explorers said that a large river
was found between Gallup and Little
Colorado, and that boats had to be
made to cross it. J. G. Hulsinger.

ment, has been authorized to prohibit
all excavations on government land
and the carrying away of relics from

ruins in New Mexico, Arizona and
Colorado, with view of having them
set aside as reservations wherever
practicable, and to inform all persons
excayating that they will be prose-
cuted. Future excavations are to be
carried on under government auspices.
Mr.. Hulsinger has examined the for
est growth in the White Captain and
Sacramento mountains and has rec
commended the establishment of for
est reservation. He picked out only
100000 acres Of strictly forest domain,
in the mountains at the headwaters of
the Bonito, Eagle Creek, Rudoso and
Hondo. The residents of that region,
while opposed to large reserve, favor
reserve Of strictly forest land, that
will protect the headwaters of the
streams mentioned.

MlSSHAPEN PEARLS.

Gems at Present.
1t is quite the fad for men returning
from abroad to wear large, misshapen

pearls are frequently of large size and
sometimes of excellent color. They are
sold in Paris as genuine pearls, though
at less price than perfect pearl o.

Of the abnormal features OF the Paris
exposition, and Americans have
brought them home as souvenirs. An
other craze of which returning tourists
tell, though as yet few are adopting IL,
is the fashion OF stringing ones SELF

the veriest savage. Two well-known
representatives of the best society have
been seen thus adorned, but In each
case the chains were broken by pieces

Art of Doing Good.
In mentioning fine arts people are
apt to speak of music and painting and
sculpture and architecture, but they
forget to mention the finest of all the
fine arts-the art of doing good, the art
Of helping others, the art of saving
men. An art to be studied as you study
music, for it is music in the fact that it
drives out moral discord and substi-
tutes eternal harmony; an art to be
studied like sculpture, for it is sculp-
ture in the fact that it builds man,
not In the cold statue, but in immortal
shape, that will last long after all pen
telican marble has crumbled; an art
to be studied as you study architec-
ture, for it is architecture in the fact
that 1t builds for him house of God,
eternal In the heavens, but an art that
we cannot fully learn unless God helps
us. Otherwise saved by grace divine,
we can go forth to save others, and
with tenderness and compassion and
pity that we could not otherwise ex-
ercise we can pronounce the warning
word with magnificent result. The
Lord said to the prophet Amos, Amos,
what seest thou?" And he answered,
"a basket Of summer fruit" But do
not think Amos saw in that basket OF
summer fruit anything more inviting
and luscious than many saved man
has seen In the warning word OF some

ENGLIsH-YANKEE SOLDIERS.
Conditions of Their Pay, Food and
Treatment Compared.

W. Z. Curtis in Chicago Record. Herald.
The British soldier receives a shilling
day; the United States soldier Is. Cd.
ThaAmercan soldier has better rations,
but Tommy Atkins has a more liberal
allowance for clothing. In other re-
speCts the conditions are about the
same, except that the British govern
ment pays pensions only to those who
are entirely disabled by wounds or
sickness. With all her wars the PEN
sion list of Great Britain is not one
fourth as large as that of the United
States. The annual appropriation Of
our congress for pensions would sup
port the whole British army.
You see retired soldiers employed in
various capacities. They are given
preference in business houses. They
are used by the district messenger
companies and receive certain privi-
leges and considerations from the police
and the municipal authorities that are
not granted to ordinary people. 1t is
common for bank messengers, janitors
of buildings, private watchmen and
other men engaged in light employment
to wear military medals of honor which
are always accepted as a good recon-
mendation. You see news stands and
fruit stands at the street corners and
in the parks attended by men with
similar decorations, or with empty coat
sleeves, and such privileges are es-
teemed of great value.
