''I've a great curiosity to see the fell

Their various affairs of the day sep

were to meet at the rooms at 6 o'clock.
Paulding alone was prompt to this ap-
pointment. He found note in large
envelope suspended from the chande-

again, It was too late.
Pau1ding made his way into one Of
the cars and was almost instantly in
collision with big black porter in a
white coat.
"There it isr' exclaimed feminine
voice from behind the porter. 'Hes

The colored man squared his broad
shoulders.
'"This lady she say you got her trav-

A beauteous vision came into Paul

the porter's grasp. She had pale, golden
hair and big blue eyes; she was tall,
and she was stunning, pretty woman.
But she was not Mrs. Jack Storrow.

A COMP ANON
OF THE
VOYAGE
Rv Hn,.,,rd EinJ1irn 1

Z communicate his present address to
his companion of the voyage? L. N. g.,
Hotel Winbrook.
Mr.. Storrow happened to see this
small advertisement in the morning pa
per as he picked it up after breakfast.
Bart" said he to the young man up
on the other side of the table, what
was the name Of the fellow you met on
the Etruria?''
81. Nestor Crew." responded Paul
ding. "Why?"
Storrow burned hole in the newspa-
per with his cigarette to mark the
place.
81 think this means you," he said.
Paulding read the advertisement.
"This is odd, isn't it?' he said. Must
refer to me, of course. Grew asked me
where I was to be in New York, and I
gave him your number, as you'd asked
me to stay with you awhile. When you
told me on the pier yesterday morning
that you'd been burned out of your
rooms, l forgot to say anything to Grew
about it. Fact is, l never expected him
to call anyhow. We were mere travel
ing acquaintance, and l didn't care for
him especially"
'Your friend Crew." said Storrow
thoughtfully, went up to No. IS last
evening and saw the result of Tues
days fire. Undoubtedly he tried to find
out where I'd gone, but there was no.
body to ask except the Waterman, and
he knew nothing about it. So he went
down to the newspaper office and put in
this advertisement"
The waiter presented the check at
this moment, and Storrow signed it.
They had breakfasted at his club. AS
they We're leaving the building Paul
ding stopped SO suddenly that swing
ing door through which he had just
passed came back and hit him on the
elbow. Therefore note of pain was
mingled with the exclamation of sur
prise which he was uttering at the mo-
ment. He drew up his injured arm
slowly, pulling the hand out of his over
coat pocket and exhibiting to Storrow's
gaze a matchbox of oXidized silver.
How the deuce do 1 happen to have
this thing in my pocket?" he cried.
Its Crews"
+ storrow took the box, opened and
closed the lid and returned it to his
friend
'You don't mean to suggest" said he,
that his anxiety to see you can have
anything to do with this?'
II remember his saying that he
thought great deal of it, responded
Pauldins. Looks like cheap sort of
thing, don't you Think"
Storrow did not reply. He turned
back into the club.
Call up the Winbrook over the tele-
phone" said he, '.and ask the clerk to

had already at 1880 seen tiny thread
of smoke. almost transparent, which
warned them what to expect, so that
when the windows on the balcony were
slowly opened great cleaning cross
was seen, the excitement and impa-
thence heightened to the extreme.
The Public Announcement.
Slowly Cardinal Macchi, secretary
of the congregation of apostolic briefs,
advanced and in a loud voice proclaim
ed the election of Sarto as pope Plus
X.
Bells Spread Tidines.
Then the bells of st. Peters doomed
out, as did those of all the churches of
Rome, giving the glad tidings to the
world.

Berlin, Aug. 4.-Replying to a ques-
ton whether the election of Sarto was
acceptable to Germany, a representa-
tive of the foreign Office answered:
"Unqualifiedly so. From an official
view point, Sarto is a mild hammered
man and has never been active polit1-
cally'
Germany is fully satisfied Sarto
does not aspire to the restoration OF
the temporal power of the papacy.
France Satisfied.
Paris, Aug. 4-The election of Cardi,
nal Sarto created a decidedly favor
able impression in governmental quar-
tiers here, removing the fear that the
choice might fall upon a radical or re-
dictionary candidate. Although little
is known of Sarto's political tendency,
he is considered to be one likely to
avoid conflicts and to continue the pol
icy of the late Pope Leo and Rampolla.

took it away from him. But he didn't
mean to steal your bag. He was look
ing for somebody else"
''He asked me was there tall, yaller
haired blond in nah car" said the por-
ter. ''IIe say she was his wife, an she
done forgot somethin'."
"He was looking for tin of tobac-
co.. said Paulding weakly
The young lady laughed somewhat
Historically.
do you mean to say that this man
plotted and committed this queer rob-
berry for a box of tobaceo?' she de-
manded.
81 don't know" said Paulding, shak-
ing, his head slowly. THAT'S all can
make out of it. Is there any way Of Z
finding out whether Mrs. John Storrow
of Chicago is on this train? She's the
lady who has the tobacco, you see."
The porter, to whom the question was
addressed, thought that the information
could be readily obtained, and he took
counsel with one of his colleagues.
Meanwhile Paulding strove to put upon
a better footing his acquaintance with
the young lady, who graciously con-
sented to hear his story and to favor
him with her name. She was Miss Mus
riel Ames of Albany, and in the light
of her countenance Paulding was in
danger of forgetting that there was
any mystery i'll that persons remark
able proceedings, but suddenly there
was dainty f1utter Of feminine gar,
ments, and Mrs. Jack Storrow APP
peared. She was followed by porter
who bore black alligator skin satchel.
After scene full of question marks
and exclamation points and hasty and
informal introductions Mrs. Storrow,
Miss Ames and Mr.. Paulding, with the
conductor of the train to lend the
weight of his authority, discussed 1t to-
gether in the stateroom of the car. The
tin of tobacco was brought forth and
opened and it's contents emptied upon
newspaper, with the result that every
one sneezed.
The heap of tobacco seemed slowly to
spread itself out while strange, splen-
did fires shot from the heart of it.
When these CLEANS were gathered, they
proved to be almost a handful Of unset
diamonds of good size and admirable
purity, about $4,000 worth in all, as
afterward appeared.
The two young women fairly
screamed at the sight of them, while
Paulding voiced his amazement in such
polite English explosives as may be
used in a mixed company.
81 guess it's all clear enough" said
the conductor. "This fellow Grew was
smuggling these things in. He got the
tip from somebody after he was aboard
the steamer that he was known to have
the goods ON him. He couldn't be
caught with them, and he didn't know
how to take them through, SO he picked
you out to do 1t for him. He buried this
stuff in your tobacco; showed the dia-
monds down to the bottom of the can
with pipe stem probably. call it
pretty slick game Well count and seal
up these diamonds, and I'll turn 'em
over to the police in Poughkeepsie.
They'll wire New York and catch Grew.
You can give them the descriptions"
Paulding shifted about in his seat and
glanced furtively at Miss Ames.
Couldn't we do it just as well in Al
bany| said he. live never been in
Albany, and I'd really like to see it,
don't you know"
"You will like it very much, said
Miss Ames, Il expect to be there all
winter. Ny father is banker there"

SCENES FOLLOWING ELECTION.
The Solemn Rites Attending sarto's
Assumption of PapaI Power.

Rome, Aug. Awhile Prince Chigi,
master of the conclave, was drawing
up the official act of election and the
acceptance of the newly elected pope.
the latter was surrounded by his
friends and disappeared into small
room near the altar, where he donned
the white robes of his office.
The First Blessing.
Plus x was assisted by his conclay-
list, who first knelt and kissed his mas
ter's hand and thus received the first
apostolic blessing given by Plus X.
Dons White Cap.
The new pope was attired all in
white with the exception of the red
shoes and stockings. When he was
quite robed the secretary of the con-
clave, Monsignore Merry Del Val,
kneeling offered him the papal white
cap amidst breathless silence.
Honors for Merry Del Val.
With a slight smile Sarto took the
cap, placed it calmly on his head, and
dropped the red, one lightly on the
head of Merry Del Val, amidst muir
muir of approval. This is taken as a
certain Indication that the happy reci-
pient is soon to be raised to a cardinal
ate.
The First Obedience.
AS the new pontiff stepped from be-
hind the altar, his face was pale and
clearly softened by emotion. He paused
for moment, as he came before the
expectant cardinals and then seated
himself on the throne to serve the
so-called FIRST obedience" of the car
dinals.
Cardinals Kiss the Pope.
They came forward, one by one,
Some calm and smiling, others sober
and noncommittal, while still others
found considerable difficulty even at
this hour in concealing their too obyi-
GUS disappointment. All kissed his
hand and foot while he saluted each
on the cheek with the kiss of peace.
Sing TIE Deum.
Then all broke in the TIE Deum with
such effect that scarcely an eye was
dry.
Administers Blessing.
Plus x then arose and in a full and
firm voice administered the papal
blessing to all the members of the
sacred college. 1t was received with
bowed and uncovered heads.
New Fisherman's Ring.
The fisherman's ring not yet having
been found, the new one designed by
the camerlengo, Oreglia, was
placed on the pontiff's finger,
as symbol of renewed
power, and evidence that the Catholic
church has once more a sovereign
head. Sarto bore himself with becom.
ing dignity and gave no outward sign
OF exultation in this, the supreme NOM
ent Of his life.
Walls Torn Down.
In the meanwhile masons and car,
penters had been busy breaking down
the doors, SO that the cardinal deacons,
the master of ceremonies, conclavists
and many others might proceed to the
balcony of st. Peters.
People Impatient for News.
