EmeraIds and BcryIs.

There is no decline in the vogue Of
the emerald, using the word not in the
generic sense of the trade, but for a
beryl of the accepted green emerald
hue. Fine specimens always cause a
flutter in the auction room, for the
very good reason that those are ex-
tremely rare. Perfect stones are AS
costly as fine rubies, and, of course,
much more so relatively than dia-
monds, says the London Chronicle.
The duke of Devonshire owns what
is believed to be the largest and near
est faultless in existence, and II
came from Nuzo, in Colombia, the main
source of modern examples. The an
cient emeralds of great magnitude wa
read of were probably not beryls at all,
and, indeed, "Oriental emerald" is tho
designation of the green corundum.

Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson tells

Irving was very fond of Terriss,

Terriss greeted him. Irving had
grillroom just off the stage at the Ly-
ceum, near his own dressing room.
One night Terriss smelled the savory
odor of appetizing cooking.

really blue-black and the combination
is the most reserved and elegant thing
in mortal eyes.
The big black hat knows nothing of
warning favor, either for summer or
winter. One of the pretty and simple
summer models is shown in the pic
ture. 1t Is of black satin with wide
border of fancy haipbraid about the
edge which is bound with satin. A
long sweep of slender feathers and a
little emplacement of ribbon make a
trimming exactly suited to the shape.

white georgette crepe with a border
about the brim and crown of narrow
milan braid. White satin camellias
and little white roses are wreathed
about the crown, with the small roses

At the end OF week he paid M
talie more than literally for her Ia
Dor. By this time they had become
quite well acquainted and Natalie be-
gan to look forward with secret pleas
ure to his visits. One day while he
was In the inner office there came a
telephone call from the lawyer, who
was in court. He requested Natalie to
consult the case book In the vault and
phone him the names of certain wit
nesses In suit he was defending.
The vault was kept always closed
and locked, as Mr.. Hull, who made
loans, kept considerable money there
at times. Natalie hurried to 1t and
turned the combination. She was
scarcely In the case book when she
was seized from behind. A strong
hand pressed handkerchief saturated
with chloroform over her face. Ma
talie, struggling, was appalled, to rec
ognize her visitor, who had stolen into
the vault noiselessly, and then her
senses wnvered.
When she recovered consciousness,
Natalie found herself in a chair kept
In the vault, where she had been care
fully placed. She could scarcely credit
the evidences of her senses. Beyond
the shadow of doubt her visitor was
clever thief who had made pre-
tense of the copying to secure chance
to rifle the vault when it was unlocked.
She glanced with apprehension Mt the
money box. 1t lay open, but not
penny was missing, but the former con-
tents Of several pigeonholes were
scattered on the floor Of the vault.
What was the mystery? What had the
young man so deity, patiently plotted
to secure? Hull came into the office.
Natalie told her story. The lawyer be-
came fearfully excited when she de-
scribed her visitor. He examined the
papers on the floor of the vault, and
Natalie heard him groanl IT'S the
brother. He has foiled us. The pa
pcrs are gone
He summarily discharged Natalie.
1t was n week later when, looking for
a new place of employment, Natalie
who had given her the copying to do.
He did not evade her, in fact, he told
her frankly he had been waiting to
see her
Il eve you an explanation Of my
rude, but necessary conduct" he said,
"And l wish to make it now" spoke
Gerald Hope.
Then he told Natalie that he was
the brother Of Mrs. Inez Burleigh,
whom Hull had been Matchmaking.
He had seen no hope of putting an end
to the persecution, save by robbing the
lawyer in turn of the fatal letters.

ing" he said seriously, for when
