Preferred Girl to Theology.

Charles Burnett, nineteen years old,
entered the German Theological Semin-
airy at Bloomfield year ago to study
for the ministry. He is no longer a
student, having gone to his home in
Cincinnati. Ohio, rather than be de-
prived of the pleasure of visiting his
sweetheart, the daughter of a promi-
nent resident Burnett's courtship
might not have been interrupted if he
had obeyed the rules Of the seminary
by putting in an appearance at 10
o'clock each night. Notwithstanding
repeated warnings from the Rev. DR..
Arnold Fismer, Burnett continued to
appear late at night at the seminary.
Recently DR. Fismer started out to look
for the young man when he failed to
show up at 10 o'clock. The doctor
went to the house Burnett was visit
ing, reaching it at II o'clock He rang
the doorbell, and as he did so the lights
went out. After he had waited some
time the window was opened. He de-
manded that Burnett come out, and he
was told that the student had gone
home. DR.. Flsmer knew better, and
waited until nearly midnight, when the
student appeared and was escorted
to the seminary. He was lectured for
violating the rules and told that he
must either give up the girl or leave
the seminary. He declared that if he
could not court a girl and study theol-
ogy at the same time he would quit,
and he did.

Railroad station Burns.

The Verona station and freight house
On the Caldwell branch of the Erie
was destroyed by fire late in the after
noon William Fisher, the agent, de-
clared that the first intimation he had
that the building was on fire was when
he detecteds the oGorl Of burning cloth
and turning, discovered the chair III
which he was seated ablaZe, and the
entire building enveloped in flames.
He rushed out and gave the alarm.
Verona is without fire protection and
the structure was quickly destroyed.
Fisher says he was unable to save any
of the company's money or tickets. At
Fishers boarding house it was said
that he had worried curing the past
few days because he was unable to
make his accounts balance and had
spent many extra hours in going over
his books. This accounts for the fact,
his friends say, that he failed to detect
the fire until he was almost enveloped
in flames. He had hired a couple of
young men during the past week, it is
said, to help him on his books. He
left Verona Immediately after he had
reported the loss to the company, tell.
ing his friends that he was going to
his home at Manuel, N. Y. 1t is said
that the American. Bronze Company on
the day of the fire paid to Fisher a
freight bill of $150, and that the
amount in charge of the agent was con
siderable. This, Fisher, says, was de.
stroyed. An Erie detective visited the
scene after the fire. The loss is esti
mated at $4,000.

again thrust my arm in and ex-
plored the hole, thinking, though it
was very likely-that the diamond had
slipped out of the case or been put in

the length of my arm from the en-

Great Hesper was not there. 1t was
not probable they would put the dia-
mond in such an open place; the leather
case was different. 1t was unsafe
to keep that, but it was Of little con-
sequence where they abandoned it.
But why had they taken the diamond
from the case, and what had they done
with it?
A clue to this mystery also I dis
covered before long.

Brace, Van Hoeck and Lola were in
the library with the police officer, Sir
Edmund Mr.. Wray-his lawyer-and

spread
Lola was still under examination.
She was stubbornly silent. 1t was

drawn from her. But she admitted

before" but she would not say whom
she had seen.

Flomerfeldt Out on Bail.

Jacob FIomerfeldt, an aged farmer,
walked out OF the Somerset County
jail at Somervllle on the arm of his
brother, James A. Flomerfeldt, a
wealthy New York City jeweler, after
he had pleaded not guilty of killing his
brother-in-law, Frank ID. Cramer, at
North Branch on December 20. James
A. Flomerfeldt furnished $4,000 bail.
When Jacob Flomerfeldt was told that
his youngest sister was suffering from
abuse at the hands of her husband at
the old Cramer mansion, at North
Branch, he left his farm in Bedminster
and became member of the Cramer
household. He was there to protect
his sister, and when Cramer, it is

Almost since the time that friction
matches were invented the Senate has
been receiving its supply in little,

these boxes have been for years kept
about the Capitol When, in Mr..
Hoar's committee room, some one
asked for matches, the Senator would
remark: why, we have barrels OF
matches" and forthwith, at the utter
ance Of the bon mot, around box would
be produced.
Now the purchasing agent Of the Sen
ate has decided to buy matches in the
usual paper boxes with which the gem

CHAPTER XIV.

CHAPTER XIV.
MY engagement with Edith was
broken off that evening.
/ had not the slightest hope OF re-
covering the lost diamond, and when
I told Sir Edmund my reasons for de-
spairing, he did not attempt to conceal
his satisfaction with regard to my de-
termination
"a man should never be dependent
on his wife. 1t must necessarily be a
source of humiliation to him, and no
man suffers humiliation without in
time losing his self-respect. That will
never, / hope be your loss, Bernard.
y Poor girl. it will be great
grief to her, for though she has known
you but a little while, she has found
in you a great deal to admire and love,
and her affection is so tenacious that
doubt if she viii ever cease to love
YOU, He sighed. and for some mo-
ments sat in thoughtful silence. Then
he said: I'VE must not break her
heart, my dear fellow-we must leave
her some hope. AS it is necessary that
for some time you should be separated,
it is right that you should both be
free from other engagements, at the
same time there may be tacit under
standing.
Should you succeed in making po-
sition for yourself in reasonable
space Of time, and then are both still
warmly disposed toward each other,
the engagement shall be renewed.
"There is no necessity for you having
a large fortune, but it is essential. ]
think, and as you happily think also,
that you should be able to provide
yourself with the necessities Of life
/ promise that Edith shall bring with
her the luxuries."
He then offered to use his influence
in procuring me a secretaryship; but
as / had never been accustomed to
sedentary occupation. and such an APP
pointment could never satisfy my
more ambitious hopes, he generously
placed his purse at my disposal, to use
as / might find occasion.
/ have purposely abssained from
dwelling upon my love affairs, for If
/ entered into them at all, my feelings
would lead me to dilate upon the de-
lights of my brief wooing, to the ex-
clusion of the graver Amatters which
form the subject of this book. For
this reason I shah pass over the bitter
grief OF our parting. / will only say
that Edith's last words awakened
courage in my sinking heart.
/ could form no satisfactory theory
with regard to the Great Hesper rob-
berry, but was disposed TO regard Van
Hoeck as the least culpable agent con.
cerned in it.
1t was impossible to tell how the
robbery affected this mysterious matt.
AS / have said, during the inyestiga-
tion he sat perfectly motionless and
perfectly silent. His face wore the
inscrutable expression of a death
mask.
Sir Edmund had no sympathy with
him after learning from me the par
ticulars relating to the adventures of
the morning.
When we entered the library from
the dining-room, where out interview
had taken place, we found Van nceck
sitting where we had left him.
Il have ordered the carriage to be
at the door in half an hour, Mr.. Van
Hoeck," said the baronet. BE good
enough to make your arrangements
for departure by that time.''
