After a scene full OF question marks
informal introductions Mrs Storrow.
Miss Ames and Mr.. Paulding. with the
conductor OF the train TO lend the
weight OF his authority. discussed II to-
gethcr In the stateroom OF the car. The
tin OF tobacco was brought forth and
opened and its contents emptied upon
a newspaper, with the result that every
one sneezed.
The heap Of tobacco seemed slowly 10
spread itself out. while strange, splen.
did fires shot from the heart OF II.
When these CLEANS were gathered. they
proved to be almost 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 expletives as may be
used in mixed company.
II guess it's all clear enough" said
the his feltOW 6TeW WAS
smuggling these things ill., 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 he
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
stun in your tobacco; showed the dia-
monds down to the bottom of the can
with a pipe stem probably. l call II a
pretty slick game. Wen count and seal
up these diamonds, and III turn 'em
over to the police in Poughkeepsie
They'll wire New York and catch Grew.
You can give them the description"
Paulding shifted about In his seat and
glanced furtively at Miss Ames.
Couldn't we do it Just as well In AL
banyT 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. II expect to be there all
winter. My father is banker there"

ter. He say she was his wife. an enc

-He was looking for a tin Of tohac-
Co" said Paul&ng weakly.
The young lady laughed somewhat
Historically.
DO you mean TO say that this man
plotted and committed this queer rob
berry for q box Of tobaccoI" she de
manded.
Il don't know" said PauldIng. shak-
ing his head slowly. That's all can
make out OF IL. Is there any way OF
finding out whether Mrs. John Storrow
of Chicago is on this trainf 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 sraciousiy con-
scented TO hear his story and TO favor
him with her name. She was Miss MI
riel Alnes OF Albany. and In the light
OF her countenance Paulding was In
danger Of forgetting that there was
any mystery In that persons remark
able proceedings. but suddenly there
was a dainty fiutter OF feminine gar
ments, and Mrs. Jack Storrow ap-
peared. She was followed by a porter
who bore a black alligator skin satchel.

where l was to be In New York, and
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

"Your friend Grew" said Storrow
thoughtfully. went up TO No. 10 last
evening and saw the result of Tues

out where I'd gone. but there was no
body to ask except the Waterman, and
he knew nothing about II. So he wen,

this advertisement"
The walter presented the check a,

Alfonso's Charmed Life,

The young king Of Spain has no fear
Of anarchists, says the New York
Press. The astrologers have told him
that he bears charmed life and will
live to good old age. One horoscope
made in 1898, foretells attempts upon
his life. but says that he will receive
nothing worse than a possible scar on
his face FROM bullet or knife. He is
to marry dark woman older than
himself, very rich in money and lands,
and the couple will live long and hap.
PLY together. Spain is to begin to be
exceedingly prosperous under his reign
when he arrives at the age Of twenty

off for the delectation Of subscribers. 1t

TOO FAT FOR U. S. NAVY,
Novel Disability That Keeps an En-
inent Physician Out.


1t is novel disability that bars DIR.
A. II. Simonton from appointment as
an acting assistant surgeon In the
United States navy, says Washing
ton dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
DR.. Simonton has remarkably fine
record as an army surgeon and the
navy would be very glad to avail itself
of his services.

sive frame that he cannot get through
the matches of torpedo boat He could
not render first aid to the injured or
any other kind of aid unless the in
1ured should be brought Oh deck,
where he would have room to turn
around. Actual measurements of DR..
Simonton's girth and of the hatchway
apertures show that the hatchways
would have to be reconstructed if he
Is detailed for the torpedo boat serv-
ice.
But that isn't all. 1t is objected to
DR.. Simonton that he Is so broad of
beam that he cannot navigate the mar
row channel of a battleship's corridors
and would be in constant danger Of get
ting wedged in between the bulkheads.
Further than that. the stateroom of A
battleship is limited in size, and II Is
said that DIR. Simonton would have to
sleep on the cabin table because he
couldn't get into the stateroom berth.
