brush in his hand, and appeared to be assisting the cardinal in dusting his gems.
 T at once presented Vescaro to his Eminence. who received him with we'll bred ease. Vescaro was obliged to quit his hold of my arm to return the cardinals bow, but he seemed to do so with decided reluctance; and 1 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 Vesearo s un- easiness disappeared in an overmas- tering transport of admiration. He bent over the table, he lifted each of the seals separately and examined it with the minutest care.s I. 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 I had not observed on my last visit. and also noticed a curious little Buddhist idol fixed on 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 it from him.
 Never, What you say is impos- siblel 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. At this moment I felt soft touch on my arm. I turned round with a start, and perceived Monsignor Per ratti, who had come up so noiselessiy that I had not heard his footsteps,
 My dear Ambassador. have made a discovery which I 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

scrtption of the cardinals treasures. When came to the onyx of Vespasian, I could see he was moved. All men have their fatal weakness; Vescaro'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 Salya tierra's seals"
 The ambassador spoke with real in dignation. It was in a calmer tone that he continued:
 ..'Vescaro ended 'py deciding to go and see the gems But he made it a stipulation that should go with him, and he attached strange importance to this condition which I 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 me9' he demanded in a tone of uneasiness, after we had crossed at least dozen saloon and corridors
 To the gallery in which the seals have been placed. of course,' l re- turned, irritated at so much caution. Did you not wish to see them?'
 The count made no answer, except to mutter curse on the gallery for being in such an inaccessible spot.
 However, we reached it at length, and were fortunate enough to find Salvatierra there, with a Dominican friar who held delicate camels-hair

ish haste, and produced the manu- script. It appeared to be as great a treasure as he supposed, but I am no judge of such things. and was obliged to confess my ignorance.
 He pretended not to believe me at first, and expressed great disap- pointment when he found I was really unable to decipher it for him. At last he reluctantly put the manuscript away again, and I 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- vancing towards me with a vexed look upon his face.
 "'I cannot think how your friend can believe my onyx to be 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 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..
 "I could say no more. The cardinals face reproached me too strongly for not having warned him against the count. I parted from them hurriediy, left the museum, and went straight to Vescaro's address.
 .I cannot say that 1 was surprised to find that he had not returned. waited for him till the hour grew so late that I feared to compromise the countess. and then came away, unable to disguise from myself the suspicious which were in my mind
 The next day nothing was heard Of Vescaro The affair began to get wind, and I was dismayed to find how easily every one assumed that he had been
The Huttig news., 1915-06-19

guilty of embedding the cardinals priceless gem.
 The next day learnt that the mat ter was in the hands of the police, who no longer believed that Vescaro had disappeared of his own accerd, but entertained the idea that he had been secretly murdered. A strict in- vestigation was made. Cardinal Cal vatierra and the Dominican volun- teered their evidence as to the cir cumstanees under which the missing man had left the Vatican and l added my testimony to theirs.
 For some days the police pursued their inquiries with great zeal. but without throwing any fresh light upon Vescaro's fate. Then an extraordinary change took place in their attitude They dropped the investigation as sud denly as they had taken it up, and seemed content to let the whole affair sink into oblivion.
 All this time you must not sup pose that I suffered any real uneasi- ness. I was assured of my own in- tegrity towards the missing count and besides, as an ambassador, my person was of course inviolate.
 When, therefore, l learnt of the strange behavior of the Italian au- thorities, saw that it was necessary for ne to take this matter into my own hands. This was by no means the first investigation of the kind which I had undertaken, as you know. Aided by my past experience, resolved to set about it in a calm. methodical manner
 "The first step in my investigation was clear before me. It was neces- sary that I should dismiss for the moment all theories turning on the loss of the seal of Vespasian. All the other circumstances in the case pointed to the fact that Vescaro had some secret enemy in the Vatican and that this enemy had seized the opportunity of the counts presence to inflict the vengeance which he had evidently dreaded beforehand

There could be no longer any doubt. I beheld the tomb of Gulieimo Vescaro.
 T went straight to the palace of Cardinal Salvatierra, and requested his Eminence to hear my confession.
 "At first he seemed to think that I had taken leave of my senses.
 But, Signor Ambassador. the mem bers of the Sacred college do not re- ceive confessions, he sad with haugh- tiness. It is some pious Jesuit to whom you require to go.'
 "'On this occasion it is not so,' responded firmly. The sin which I have to confess is a very heinous one l have been guilty of suspecting prince of the church of a terrible crime

I could only obey: and as soon as I had exchanged my or dinary dress for my court uniform I got into the state carriage of the embassy, and drove to the Vatican.

STANDARD OIL AND

Processes to Increase Gasoline output
and to Extract Dyestuffs From
Crude Oil 10 Be Made Free.
GBy Associated Press.l

tBy Associated Press.l
Washington. March 1.-Two dlscov-
cries. both of vast Importance to
American industries and one regarded
also as a priceless military asset.
were announced yesterday by Secre-
tary Lane of the Interior Department.
They are chemical processes develop
ed after years Of research by DR..
Walter F. Rittman. chemical engineer
OF the Bureau OF Mines.
One Is expected 20 enable oil re-
finers TO increase their output OF
gasoline by 200 per cent; the other
makes possible the production from
crude petroleum OF toloul and benzol,
bases for dyes and high explosives for
which in the past the United States
and the rest OF the world has depend
ed almost exclusively upon Germany.
DR.. Rittman has applied for patents
upon his processes to prevent the pos
sibility OF any monopoly in their use
and will dedicate them to the Ameri-
can people.
These processes" said Secretary
Lane, "are fraught with the utmost
Importance. The Standard Oil Com
pany has a big advantage over the
Independents in production Of gaso;

tanning three times the amount OF
gasoline from a given quantity of pc
