arms and ran with 1t into the tiny scullery. On the front window there was no blind, only small, much worn curtain covering the lower panes, and he did not want any stray loafer to gaze in at him and discover large quantity of luggage in such a disrepu- table hovel.
 When the fourth bag was disposed of in the dark recess of the scullery he paused for an instant to listen. There was not sound. Through the window he could dimly discern the roof of the deserted stables opposite.
 He bent again to the task of packing the fifth portmanteau and was placing in it the last parcel of ore and dia- monds when some of the heavy con tents fell through one end where the drugget wrapping had been hastily folded.
 Shaking the package on the floor as grocer beats down the contents of sugar bag, he picked up the fallen speci- mems and put them in, one by one. A large lump of cro had fallen apart when 1t dropped. Inside there was huge kernel, rough diamond quite as large as a hens egg.
 Philip smiled as he recalled his boast to Isaacstein. He examined the stone critically and realized that If 1t were flawless it must be one of the marvels of creation. Without experiencing any positive motive he slipped this unique specimen into his pocket and went on with the reconstruction of the damaged parcel.
 At last he finished. The portman- teau was lying open on the floor when the thought occurred to him that he might have avoided the furry and trou- ble of carrying these heavy articles into the scullery if he had nailed a cou- pie of yards of his drugget across the window.
 It was not too late even now to recti- fly this defect. He glanced at the win dow to ascertain how much material he should cut off and saw a face-an evil, brutal, suspicious face-peering la at him over the top of the curtain.

portnanteaus were packed with pieces of the meteor and tie paper covered parcels already prepared When each bag weighed about forty pounds he stuffed the remaining space with rolled up newspapers. closed and locked them. He estimated that three larger leather bags. these being less noisy than tin. would hold the remainder of the me teor.
 As the next morning would find him occupation enough. he decided to do as much as possible that night. Three times he sallEed forth and returned with a good sized Ealise. He paid prices varying from f2 IOs. tD E3 15z snd always buzzht secondhand goods

 He dropped the drigget and scissors and bent again over the portmanteau. The packing operations might as well be finished now, and indeed when the light was extinguished 1t would be bet ter to keep away from the window. through which n sudden thrust with an implement might do him an injury.
 He took his discarded clothes and ar- ranged them on top of the last parcels of ore and diamonds. Then he reached out for the small bundle of documents resting on the chair behind him, in tending to place them in little pocket in the flap which already covered one half of the bag.
 At that instant he again heard foot steps. Of course very few seconds had elapsed since he first caught sight of the living specter without The ideas recorded at such length whirled through his active brain with lightning speed just as the Knowledge now came that the footsteps proceeded from the entrance to the news and not from its extremity, while their firm regularity betokened the advent of some person who had no special reason to conceal his movements.
 The boy listened breathlessly. The oncomer reached his door, passed 1t. stopped opposite the window. and then another face peered over the curtain.
 This time 1t was policeman.
 For an instant their eyes met in mu- tual astonishment Then the police man came so close that his helmet rest ed against pane of glass. He grinned affably and cried:
 Here! want to speak to you"
 Intuitively grasping the essential fact that his best policy was one of ready acquiescence, Philip sprang to- ward the door and unlocked 1t. He stood on the step. The constable ap- preached.
 T hope I didn't startle you," he be- gan. "but I just looked in on the off chance'-
 T am very glad indeed to see you" interrupted the boy. T am leaving here tomorrow. Just now, while I was packing some of my belongings, very nasty looking man came and peeped in at me in the same way as you did" He backed into the house. The police man half followed him, his quick glance noting the open portmanteau and its array of old clothes.
 "Just now?' he questioned. "Do you mean some time sinceT
 "No, no Not half a minute-a few seconds ago."
 But where can he be? He hasn't left the news or I must have seen him. crossed the road, and no one came out in so short time"
 "Well, he Is somewhere In the place. He had horrid appearance-a man witk broken nose. He made me jump, can assure you"
 "A man with broken nose! By love! I'm looking for party of that description. A rank wrong 'un. Rob- bery with violence and few other little things. What sort of man was he? You saw his face only, I sup poser"
 The constable stepped back into the paved court. A rapid twist of his hand sent vivid beam of light dancing over ruined tenements, disheveled door ways and shattered windows.

has led to 234 words being added to

that Sir John Herschel used It in a
paper which he read before the Royal
society. The new word took root in

later, when Argo made his report to

FATE OF A TALEBEARER
Even.Handed Justice Administered In
Government Department.

There was a clerk who spat and a
stenographer who told in the de-
partment of justice. The clerk spat
by habit, and scorned the signs
hanging around on the walls re-
minding him that it was not only
unhealthful to expectorate on the
floor, but was also forbidden by the
rules of the district board of health.
Also the clerk scorned the protests
of the stenographer, who, being
nice man, one who does not eat to-
bacco and has no imperative need
to spit, objected bitterly to the hab-
it of his fellow servant.
At last, realizing that his pro-
tests were in vain. thc slcnographer
told But instead Of telling his
suporiors in the department of
justice, lie wrote a formal letter to
the tuberculosis commissioners of
the district. Shocked that such a
fragrant violation of the law could
be going on unchecked in the de-
parlment Of justice, the tuberculosis
commissioners descended in a body
upon Attorney General Bonaparte.
They told on the stcnographer who
had told on the clerk who spat.
Thcrcupon Mr.. Bonaparte dispenses
! justice on the spot. He discharged
the clerk who spat, in violation of
the district law. And then, that
| justice might be even handed, he
discharged the stcnographer who
told, not for telling, but for telling

Women Who Wear Wen.

1t Is astonishing how great u change
few years OF married life often make IN
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the

reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
ncsscs which too often come with mar
riagc and motherhood not understanding
that this secret drain is rubbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Why it has come about is somewhat
Of question, for there is really no

to know a daughters associates and
the places she goes to than there

natural fact is that normal young
people crave amusement, and II this
is not provided at home it will as

has to work all day, and both will

Honcred Gen. Grosvenor.

Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, is very
proud of an incident which occurred
in the closing hours Of the last session
OF congress. Shortly before adjourn
ment Capt. McGrew, chief of the CAPT
FOL police force, met the venerable
Ohio congressman in the rotunda and
with every evidence of regret placed
him under arrest. Il trust you will
come peaceably," ne said with great
respect, for | should much regret to
use force" The congressman went
along half inclined to be amused but
nevertheless somewhat impressed. Tne
two proceeded TO the captains office,
where every member of the police force
had assembled. Thereupon Capt. Nc
Grew presented to the congressman a
handsome watch and Masonic charm,
delivering a pretty little speech. Gen.
Grosvenor was visibly affected by the
incident and was hardly able to eX'
press his thanks. A day or two later
the captain received long letter eX'
pressing the generals app.-"tS' on.
