 T at once presented Vescaro to his Eminence, who received him with we'll bred ease. Vescaro was obliged te quit his hold of my arm to return the cardinals bow, but he seemed to dc so with decided reluctance; and I ob served him subjecting the Dominican to scrutiny of which the good father appeared to be perfectly unconscious
 But no sooner had Salvaillerra led the way to his case than Vescaro's un easiness disappeared in an overmas- over the table, he lifted each of the seals separately and examined it with the minutest care. l, who had seen them before, took advantage of his absorption to glance at some of the other objects in the gallery There was a large Egyptian statue placed against the wall opposite, which had not observed on my last visit, and l also noticed curious little Buddhist idol fixed on a bracket further down towards the end of the gallery.
 While I was idly gazing at these things, I heard an exclamation from Vescaro.
 But your Eminence. this is a forgery!'
 Il looked and saw him holding up to the light the famous Vespasian onyx. Salvatierra almost snatched 1t from him.
 Never, What you say Is impos- sible.' he exclaimed Come this way there is more light
 And he moved down the gallery towards the mirror, followed by the excited Vescaro and the Dominican.

 My dear Ambassador, have made a discovery which have been waiting to show you for days. he murmured in a low voice Come this way. It is a great secret It is an illuminated French manuscript of the eleventh century, and I believe the only one in existence.

scription of the cardinals treasures. When I came to the onyx of Vespasian, I could see he was moved. All men have their fatal weakness; Vescaro's s was the mania of connoisseur of antiques By this time I had learned something of his base character from his injured wife He was unworthy of that noble woman, whom he would have sold for the worst of Salva- tierra's seals.'
 The ambassador spoke with real in- dignation. It was in a calmer tone that he continued
 .Vescaro ended by deciding to go and see the gems. But he made it a stipulation that 1 should go with him, and he attached strange importance to this condition which l could not understand
 "A day or two after he called at the embassy, as had been arranged, for me to take him to the museum.
 "On the threshold of the Vatican he literally carried out his stipulation Of taking my arm, and I could even feel  his own trembling as we passed before the Swiss guard who were on duty at the entrance. More than ever as- tonished at these fears, I drew him on through the building towards the distant quarter in which the gallery was situated.
 Where are you taking me?' he demanded in a tone of uneasiness. after we had crossed at least a dozen saloon and corridors
 To the gallery in which the seals have been placed, of course.' I re- turned, irritated at so much caution Did you not wish to see them?
 The count made no answer, except to mutter a curse on the gallery for being in such an inaccessible spot.

 He pretended not to believe me at first, and expressed great disap- pointment when he found I was really unable to decipher 1t for him. At last he reluctantly put the manuscript away again and 1 turned round to look for my companion.
 ITO my surprise, he was not to be seen. The Dominican was there in front of the case of seals, using his little brush, and the cardinal was ad- yancing towards me with vexed look upon his face.
 "I cannot think how your friend can believe my onyx to be a forgery, he said I suppose it will be perfectly safe in his hands?'
 What does your Eminence mean?' I exclaimed Where is Vescaro?'
 "Salvatierra gave a stare of surprise.
 "'Did you not see him go away? Tell me, was it by any chance i'm prudent to entrust him with my Vespasian seal?
 Your Eminence has entrusted him with the onyx. That man,'
 Il could say no more. The cardinals s face reproaehed me too strongly for not having warned him against the count I parted from them hurriedly, left the museum and went straight to Vescaros address.

 T went straight to the palace of Cardinal Salvatierra, and requested his Eminence to hear my confession.
 At first he seemed to think that had taken leave of my senses.
 But, Signor Ambassador. the mem bers of the Sacred college do not re- ceive confessions. he said with haugh- t:ness It is some pious Jesuit to whom you require to go.
 "'On this occasion 1t is not so. I responded firmly The sin which have to confess is very heinous one. I have been guilty of suspecting prince of the church of terrible crime

REPRESENTATIVE TELLS
 OF EASTERN SENTIMENT

Ruby, June: A private letter was received yesterday from Representa- tive c. K. Snow, who wrote May 15, at his old home at Alliance, Neb., from which he had been absen seventeen months.
 MT. Snow had just returned from a big cattle rouId-up, made for the purpose of dipping cattle to eradi- cate what is known and would be called the mango in Alaska. When everything was ready the State in spector sent out a deputy in the person of a youth just out of school, who superintended the dip ping and certified that it was scien- tifically done. In Nebraska they have developed many new wrinkles in connection with the live stock brsiness since MT. Snow served his apprenticeship as a broncho buster. and he is sure to bring the lateSt scientific cope with him when he returns to Alaska.
 In Juneau the doctors advised MT. Snow to confino himself to milk diet for some time, and he was following directions with satis- faction and good results. The medi cal men said the milk was neces- sary to peutralize the poison de .posited in his system through year O" living on typical Alaskan fare.
