CHAPTER XIV.
SUSPICION and Discord.

Every one was nasty the next morn
ing. Aunt Selma declared that her
feet were frost bitten and kept Bella
rubbing them with ice water all MORN
ing. And Jim was impossible. He re-
fused to speak to any of us and he
watched Bella furtively, as if he sus-
pected her of trying to get him out of
the house.
When luncheon time came around
and he had shown no indication of go
ing to the telephone and ordering it,
we had a conclave, and Max was chOs-
en- to remind him of the hour. Jim was
shut in the studio, and we waited to-
gether in the hall while Max went up.
When he came down he was somewhat
ruffied.
He wouldn't open the door," he re-
ported. and when l told him it was
meal time, he said he wasn't hungry,
and he didn't give a whop about the
rest of us. He had asked us here to
dinner: he hadn't proposed to adopt
u.s."
So we finally ordered luncheon our
selves, and about two o'clock Jim came
down stairs. sheepishly and ate what
was left Anne declared that Bella
had been scolding him in the upper
hall, but l doubted it. She was never
seen to speak to him unnecessarily.
The excitement of the escape over,
Mr. HARRISON and l remained on terms
of armed neutrality. And Max still
hunted for Anne's pearls. using them,
the men declared, as a good excuse to
avoid tinkering with the furnace or re-
pairing the dumb waiter, which took
the queerest notions, and stopped once,
halfway up from the kitchen, for an
hour, with the dinner on it. Anyhow,
Max was searching the house system
atically, armed with a copy of Poe's
Purloined Letter and Gaboriau's Mon
sieur Lecoq. He went through the
seats of the chairs with hatpinS, tore
up the beds, and lifted rugs, until the
house was in q state of confusion. And
the next day, the fourth, he found
something-not much, but ii was curl
ous He had been in the studio, polk
ing around behind the dusty pictures,
with Jimmy expostulating every time
he moved anything and the rest stand
ing around watching him.
Max was strutting.
I'VE get it by elimination" he said
Importantly. The pearls being no.
where else in the house, they must be
here in the studio. Three parts of the

But Max shook his head: he looked
stupefed, and stood gazing from the
clasp to the pocket of the old paint
ing coat. Betty dropped on a folding
stool, that promptly collapsed with her
and created a welcome diversion, while
Anne pounced on the clasp greedily,
with little cry.
I'VE will find it all now," she said
excitedly. Did you look in the other
pockets, MAXI"
Then, for the first time. was con-
Scious of an air of constraint among
the men. Dallas was whistling softly,
and Mr.. HARRISON, having rescued Bet
ty, was standing silent and aloof,
watching the scene with non-commit-
tai eyes. 1t was Max who spoke first,
after a hurried inventory of the other
pockets.
Nothing else" he said constrained
ly. I'll move the rest of the cam
vases"
But Jim interfered. to every ones
surprise.
Il wouldn't, if l were you, Max.
There's nothing back there. l had 'em
out yesterday" He was quite pale.
"Nonsense!" Max said gruftly. IF
it's a practical joke. Jim, why don't
you 'fess up? Anne has worried
enough"
The pearls are not there, tell you, y
Jim began. Although the studio was
cold. there were little fine beads of
moisture on his face. l must ask you
not to move those pictures" And then
Aunt Selma came to the rescue: she
stalked over and stood with her back
against the stack of canvases.
LAS far as can understand this"
she declaimed, You gentlemen are
trying to intimate that James knows
something of that young woman's jew
elry, because you found part of it in
his pocket. Certainly you will not
move the pictures. How do you know
that the young gentleman who said he
found it there didn't have it up his
sleeve"
She looked around triumphantly, and
Max glowered. Dallas soothed her,
however.
Exactly So" he said. How do we
know that Max didn't have the clasp
up his sleeve? My dear lady, neither
my wife nor l care anything for the
pearls, as compared with the priceless
pearl of peace. l suggest tea on the
roof, those in favor?- My arm, Miss
Caruthers."
1t was all well enough for Jim to
say later that he didn't dare to have

Then he gave a low exclamation and
looked at something he held in his
hand Every one stepped forward. and
ON his palm was the small diamond
clasp from Annc's collar!
Jimmy was ap"pl"ctiC. He tried to
smile, but no one else did
"Wcll. I'll hc habhcrgastcd." h" said.

when wealthy John Moore Dies the
Bodies VIII Be Crenated
Together.

Fawley Place, the home of John
Moore III, at Quincy, Ill.,. is in mourn
ing over the death of TON Paine
Moore's pet pug dog. The dog was put
to death with chloroform the other
morning by the veterinary surge on,
who had bee in daily attendance. The
pug dog was the constant companion
Of the old man, sleeping in the same
bed with him by night. When taken
sick with distemper week ago, Moore
called in veterinary, and no expense
was spared in the effort to restore the
canine to health. Moore nursed the
dog a. a mother would child, and had
not slept any for week. AS soon as
dead, the body was wrapped in white
cloth by Moore and removed to Under
taker Daugherty's place, where he left
instructions that the body be en-
balmed and placed in metal casket
and kept until his own death shall oc-
cur, when both bodies shall be placed
In one casket and sent to ST. Louis to

some notoriety by his agnostic writ
ings, Is a man of considerable wealth.

THE TEL0PTOSCOPE.
Wonderful Little Device That Sends
Pictures In Colors.


Philip X. Stern, mechanical and
engineer at 1870 Fulton street.
New York, said the other afternoon
that he has perfected and now has
patents pending for an apparatus for
the transmission of optical images in
colors. The device will be known as
the teloptoscope. "The principal upon
which the thing works is this" Mr.
Stern said: "The transmitter Is TO-
cused upon the optical image to be
sent. The luminous rays are trans
formed into electric currents and sent
to the receiving end over an ordinary
electric circuit. One additional wire is
necessary, however, for manipulating
the receiving apparatus. The electric
currents are again employed at the dis
tant end to vary the intensity Of the
ray of light which is thrown on the re-
ceiving instrument.
1.-The variations of the beam of light
at the receiving station corresponds
to the light and shadow at the trans
hitting station. The picture SO re-
ceived will be in one color, but by an
arrangement of three colored screens
the apparatus will be made to repro
duce the proper tints.
III it is desired to photograph the
view reproduced all that is necessary
is the placing of dry plate in the re-
ceiver. BY this means photographs
may be taken in any part of the world
of objects in any other part"

A REMARKABLE RECOVERY.
Young Mans Back, Broken At q
Dance, Operated On suocess-
fully by . Surgeon.

While dancing at Glendale, L. L.,
last August Joseph Lennon fell from
the platform and injured his back.
He was sent to the hospital at ia
maica, where three vertebrate of his
spinal column were operated on. Len
non rallied after the operation. but
while he could read and talk he had
no control over either his arms or
legs. Before DR.. Herbert X. Noble
performed the operation he per-
formed similar one on dead body.
1t took him four hours to remove the
broken portions of bone from Len
mons spine.
A few weeks after the operation
Lennon was able to sit up IN bed, and
in February he was able to move his
toes little. Gradually he has recov-
cred the use of all his limbs, and
about the middle of March he was
able to stand up. Gradually he
gained until he could stand alone,
and last Monday he took four steps
alone. Since then he has walked the
entire length of the ward alone.

x-RAYs IN SLOT MACHINES.
Patent Apparatus Of Novel Design to
Make Appearance ON Chicago
Streets.

An automatic machine that for odd
Atty is likely to prove popular is to
appear on the Chicago streets within
the next two or three weeks. The
American xRay company is prepar-
ing to put out several hundred X-ray
machines that will operate automat-
ically on depositing nickel in the
slot.
The other day an exhibition Of che
new machine was given in the offices
of William I. Blaine, president Of the
company, in the Continental National
Bank building. The apparatus is con-
structed somewhat after the fashion
of the familiar picture machines, ex-
cept space is left behind the lenses
for the inse rtion Of objects.
a block of wood several inches in
thickness was held before the ma
chine and objects on the further side
seen plainly. The light is steady and
clear and of unusual brilliance.
1.-THE machine is built on principles
different entirely from Crooks static
machine" said Mr.. Blaine. 1.-THE au-
tomato machine will work under any
and all circumstances. and the light
will be clearer and better than that
produced by regular apparatus"

GLASS EYE CAUSES BEATING

bly, Resp0nds.

James Reynolds, Of Salt Lake City,
came in to Kansas City from the west
over the Santa Fe railway the other
day. He has glass eye. just this side
of Emporia he got cinder in - good
eye. He placed his hand over the see
ing optic and kept it closed. Uncon-
sciously his glass eye was pointed to-
ward a woman with her husband In q
seat across the aisle.
Frequently the cinder would cause
so much pain that Mr.. Reynolds would
involuntari draw the lid down over
the glass eye. The woman thought he
wa. winking at her and called her hus-
bands attention to the matter. A mo-
ment later the cinder began to grind
Reynolds good eyeball and he pulled
the lid clear down over his glass eye
and held it there for brief period. It
was a wink that was a wink.
The husband, without saying word.
took his umbrella out of the rack and
proceeded to wear it out over Rey-
nolds' head. After the husband had
broken his umbrella to bits paste myers
interfered and explanations followed.
1t was then discovered that Reynolds
had been winking his glass eye.

NAVAL STATION APPROVED.
Sharp Dispute Between Naval Omcers
Over the Puget Sound Plant
$780, Settled.

There has been IA row among naval
officers over the equipment of the
torpedo boat Goldsborough, which
was built by a Portland (Ore.) firm.
Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief con-
structor of the navy, was anxious to
have the boat equipped for service at
the Puget Sound naval station. The
other members of the board of con-
struction, to which board the ques-
ton was submitted, recommended
the boat be sent to San Francisco.
Hichborn took the position that
there was great deal Of work re-
naming at the Mare Island navy
yard, which is near San Francisco,
and that it could not be possible to
fit the Goldsborough out at that
yard. After some considerable con-
treversy over the matter Secretary
Long directed the Goldsborough to be
sent to Puget Sound station, where
the torpedo boat Rowan has just been
fitted out for service.
Some of the officers who were
beaten in this discussion secured tele
graphic orders from the navy de-
partment detailing Capt. Henry Glass
to make an inspection of the Rowan
and the facilities at the Puget Sound
station for doing such work. The
assignment of Capt. Glass to this duty
was surprise to the bureau of con-
struction, and the charge is now
made that there has been some IN
demanded work on the part of high
naval officers to secure an official re-
port, the tenor of which was expect
ed to show that the Rowan was in a
bad way and the Puget Sound sta
ton in an inadequate condition.
Capt. Glass report has been received
IN Washington, and it shows not only
that the Rowan was fully and prom.
erly equipped, but that the PUGET

to high grade of naval work in.

TO HELP ISLANDERS.
Industrial Villages to Be Estab-
lished In Porto Rico.
Agricultural Department Has Plans
whereby the Conditions Of the
h People Can De Greatly
Improved.

With view to improving the condi-
lions of the people of Porto Rico the
department Of agriculture is giving
consideration to the question of estab-
fishing industrial villages in the is
land. The manufacture of hats, straw
goods and mating, the production OF
raw silk and the canning of tropical
fruits are examples Of employment
which would be beneficial. DR.. S. A.
Knapp, who has investigated the agri-
cultural conditions in Porto Rico, says:
"The early establishment of num-
Der of minor industries closely related
to agriculture is of vital Importance to
future prosperity. The object of such
industries is to give profitable employ
ment to the wives and children of farm
laborers, so that the earning ability OF
the home may be doubled and in some
cases quadrupled. Under such condi-
tions, if the head of family fails for
any cause to earn his wage the home
goes on. The earning capacity is less
ened, but the home is not destroyed.

The "Histore d'Oeuvre Franchise"
by Jules Charles Roux, 10 devoted to
. history of the Suez canal.
From it it appears that navigation
through the canal has steadily in
creased since its completion.
One-half of the vessels passing went
TO India. The saving in distance
amounts on the average to 80 per cent,
with the line London-Singapore even
Is per cent.
The cost OF constructing and pre-
serving the canal amounted to 600 ,OOO,-
600 francs from 1869 to the end of 1899.
The number of passengers during
these 30 years was 4,271,740.
