THE SCBANTON TBIBUXEMOXDAT MORNING, . AUGUST 26, 1895.

IT. THE ORI1TE AT BENITA.
He paused, ns If expecting a reply.
"I don't know where Benlta is. sir,
nor do I much care, provided It Is ac
cessible at all: but any confidence with
which you may. honor me, you may
,'rest assured will be eUrsely guarded."
"I shall trust you. At present I need
only outline the tusk I propose for you.
If you incline to accept It, I shall pre
pare full and complete Instructions,
with sufficient explanation to permit
you to act intelligently. To be brief,
out firm Is one of th.ee which own and
operate the diamond mines at Uenlta,
on the northwest coast of Africa.
"We obtained possession of them
lome eighteen years ago. and they
lave repaid us largely. Hut recently
we have discovered a serious shortage
In trie amount of rotiRh stones mined,
which cannot be laid to the productive
ness of the m!n--s. In other words,
there is a regular leakage which we
are unable to account for. The three
o'.vm-rs are J.tdirren & Co., of Herlln;
Worthltitrton & Chalmers, of London;
and ourselves. Kach of us has a rep
. resentatlve at the mines. In our case
It Is my brother. Howard Forsythe.
and naturally we each feel absolutely
secure in the integrity of our agents.
"Ii is several years since we first
. suspected this leakage, but ?o endeav
ors on our pin have succeeded in lo
cating the thief. Agents from the Lon-
Iffy
"There Is a Regular Leakage Which We
' Arc I noble to Account l or"
don and Paris detective forces have ex
hausted all their resources: every
channel through which the Jewels
mitrht escape are carefully guarded
yet we are just where we were in the
beginning, and our losses go steadily
on. They muat amount by this time to
an enormous sum. (Now. while J be
lieve my partners and my brother have
used all available methods of discover
ing the criminal, I am still disiAiisiltcd
with the result, and lately I have de
cided to send a discreet man to Beniia
on my own account, and without the
knowledge of anyone save my brother
Howard, to make a last endeavor to
discover who it is that Is robbing the
mints. I am going to place this affair
in jour hands, if you feel able and
willing to accept the mission."
1 am not a detective, sir."
"No, you are better than that. You
are a cool-headed, sensible man, and
will be above bribery If that is at
tempted." "Thank you, sir. May I ask a few
ques:lons?"
"Certainly."
"Where are the diamonds cut?"
"In London, by William Thompson
& Co. Kvery rough stone is weighed
out to them and returned less the ac
tual loss in cutting. From the time
the stones leave ISenita we can ac
count for them accurately. Where we
miss them is at the mines."
"Are natives employed in mining?"
"Yes. but under guard, and each man
Is searched before he lave the en
clorures. Henlta lies upon a rocky pro
montory extending Into the sea. Be
yonl it is an impossible barrier of
burning sands. There is but one line
of vessels touching at the port, and
from nur perfect surveillance of these
we kmtv no diamonds leave the sta
tion. This renders it probable that
te stolen gems are still there, the
thief perhaps awaiting- a favorable
time to send or carry them . away. I
think If we can discover the robber we
can secure most If not all of his booty,
and this is one reason that makes me
anxl'jus to attempt the discovery.
Now, my plan is this, that you go out
secretly, being known only to my
brother, to whom I will give you a let
ter of introduction. He will give you
a position In the mines, where you will
, best be a.ble to discover a clue. I will
pay you a liberal salary during the in
vestigation, and should you succeed In
running your game down and recover
ing the jewels, I will give you ter.
thousand dollars. Now, sir, what is
your decision?"
"I will go." '
"Can you leave by Monday's steam
err .
, "Yes, sir."
"Very well. I will prepare ample
Instruction, and write fully concern
ing my plans to my brother Howard,
who alone will be In the secret. You
'must be very cautious and play your
part with discretion. Call on me Sat
urday for your final Interview. In the
meantime, as you will have prepara
tions to make, you can consider your
time your own. Quod morning, Mr.
"Andrews." ,
I went away In a kind of dream, nor
did I recover myself until I walked In
upon Josephine and received her cheery
greeting. Then I began to realize what
it would be to leave her.
"How queerly you look, Jack," she
said: "has anything gone wrong?"
"Oh, Josephine!" I cried, looking de
spairingly Into her pretty face, "I am
going away!"
"Away! and where does that mean,
sir?" she asked, growing more serious.
"To Benlta to Africa to the end of
the world." j
"Why,; Jack!" she exclaimed, rising
and putting tier hands in mine, while
the sweet face grew white and grave.
"What do you mean? What has hap
pened?" . I sat down beside her and told her
ttie whole story. I told her that here
. an opportunity to win fame and a
fortune, and both for her. I told her
of all my love, and how I had despaired
of winning her; but now, now that a
chance was given to me to earn a for
tune, I dared to tell my love, and to
ask If she could wait year perhaps
two years, until I could come back
with enough to make her my wife.
The reply was like Josephine. She
showed no fahe shynevs, nor silly em
barrassment.' But she looked Into my
face With the sweetest, truest eyes In
the world, and put her hand In mine
and trald: . ;
"I will wait until you come. Jack, be
lit one year or ten, end then, no matter
J jT "
Itner you are Met) or poor, I will fee

Irving Bachellor.
your wife, and we will fight the world
together.
"My darling!"
"But 'be very careful of yourself.
Jack dear, and rememlier how eagerly
I shall wait for your coming, and above
nil do not forget that I am yours, no
matter how much or how little you
bring back with you. For if you are
poor, I can help you to brave the world,
since our love is better th'.wi riches;
and by that time, perhaps papa can
ppare me better from the store. Dear
papa! Jack, if I give you myself, you
must be a son to my father, and help
me to make his old age comfortable
and happy."
Was there ever a sweeter, more wo
manly speech than this? Was there
ever a woman who surrendered herself
so completely to her lover and in so
doing m.uto herself a million times
more precious In his eyes? I had loved
my darling before now 1 worshipped
In r. At the very moment I won her
love 1 learned to realize its priceless
value.
She -was In my arms, my kisses fall
ing soft and reverently upon her lips,
whin a noise attracted my attention.
M. C ron cm was leanlnir over the
counter a few steps away. I took my
darling's hand nd led her up to him.
M. Croneau," I said, "Josephine and
"Yes, yos I know, I know!" he Inter
ruted. rather brusiiuely.
"I um gi'lng away, sir. to to " I
"p.iuscd, v truck by the thought that per
haps 1 ought not to conllde to others
the affairs of my employers.
He regarded me with a slight smile
on his stern features.
"Yes, also 1 know that. You spoke
loudly, moiifleur, and my study door
was open."
"Oh." I raid, with a sigh of relief, for
after all this was Josephine's father
my father-in-law to be; "then you
know all?"
"Yes. and T wish you uticcess. As to
the arrangement you have made with
my child. I must perforce be content,
since her happiness is my sole desire.
Monsieur Jack, you may not realise It.
but no gem of Renlta can equal my
Joephi:ie mine?" with a shrug. "Ah,
well. I suppose It must be our Jose
phine now! nj eest pas. m-sler?"
"You are more than kind. sir. I shall
try to do my duty by her, and by
you al-so. If you will permit me to re
gard you as my father. I have none of
my own living, you know."
He took my hand and smiled, but I
thought his answer a trifle evaive:
"We shall see. Monsieur Jack. You
have before you a Journey first, remem
ber. So it Is to Benlta? And you
may run across my old friend Howard
Forsythe."
"Why, he Is Mr. Forsythe' brother,
and the manager of the mines!"
"So? I scarcely remember him tow.
Still, If you will be so kind, I will send
"No Gem of ricnlto Can Equal My
Josephine"
my regards to him a note, to recall
olden times, perhaps. Remind me of it,
m'sier, before you go."
I shall ipass over my preparations for
departure, my ad and tearful parting
from my sweetheart, rny last Interview
with Mr. Forsythe, and, In foot, my
voyage to Bcnita, since nothing oc
curred therein to fof-ar upon my story.
As tha steamer puffed up to the little
quay I got my first look at the rocky
point of land whereon the mines of
Benlta were lo?ated.
There was one little clump of cocoa
palms about half a mile Inkiii'l, and a
ft-.w scattered shrubs here and there;
but for the most part the promontory
iwas one mass of gray rock, broken
and shelvy, and wearing an intensely
dinmal- acpect. Toward the mainland
there towered a row of bare cliffs
reaching high Into the air, and seem
ingly Imipassoible, so that the little col
only was absolutely cut oft from the
rest of the world.
A short distance from the landing
was a large enclosure, the walls formed
mostly frovn the prevalent gray rocks,
and encircling a huddle of un-painted
wooden 'buildings somewhat discolored
by the weather.
Such was my first view of Benlta and
you can guess that It conveyed no
very plerfsuraible sensation when I re
flected that here was to be my home
for some rime.
A few lightly clad natives and per
haps a dozen rough-looking white men
stood curiously awaiting our landing
and watching the disembarkation of
the stores the steamer had brought.
I was the only passenger for this port,
and my . landing was . soon accom
plished. I turned to one of the white
men and asked, to be directed to Mr.
Howard Forsythe.
The fellow scowled and surlily point
ed his thumb over his shoulder. I fol
lowed the direction with my eyes and
saw a man seated on a large boulder
a few yards off. ,He was whittling
something with a large Jack-knife and
glancing now and then carelessly at
the busy scene about the landing place.
I walked' toward him, regarding him
attentively as I approached.
(He was a large, heavily built man.
somewhat- Inclined to corpulence, with
a round, fat face, smoothly shaven.
His head was partially bald, and what
hair he had was thin and, black. HJs
eyes, which irtt mine frankly and
curiously as I came up, were his best
feature, and reminded ma of " his
brother, my employer. - ,
He mereW nodded In return to my
bow, and looked down at his whittling
again. I followed his gage and saw
he was aimlessly cutting a bit of wood,
with no attempt at form whatsoever.
"Mr. Forsythe?" I asked,. ,
He nodded again.
"My name, sir.' What can t do for
you?" iHls voice waa pleasant enough,
but wholly without interest or hearti
ness. I took out my wallet and ex
tracted the letter from Mr. Forsythe,
and then, as the note from M. Croneau
lay next, I handed that also. He took
his brother's letter ' slowly and
thoughtfully, but . when ' his eyes fell
upon that from M. Croneau he uttered
a little ejaculation of surprise, and
tore It open. -
It was evidently short, for he soon
perused It, and then' darting a swift
glance at me In which, to my surprise
there seemed lltUa.of food-will, he
tore the note to fragments and tossed
them to the breeie. 1 Instantly wished
that I had opened that letter and mas
tered Its contents, and then I reflect-
with some shame that It was written
by ' Josephine's father, am' the de..
tive had not as yet overcome my
tural Instincts as a gentleman.

The Danville Nail works, which have
been Idle or nearly two and one-half
years, have been bought by a party of
capitalists who will at once have neces
sary repairs made and put the plant In
active operation. This Is one of the
most complete factories In the country
for nail making and contains some
very costly machinery. There are over
100 nail machines, and when In opera
tion employment Is given to 600 men.
"There Is a somewhat better tune In
the anthracite trade" wires a New
York house. "Operators are quoting
$2.90 to $3 for stove coal f. o. b. net for
short time delivery. They will not take
orders for September delivery at these
prices. The low price of the year for
the same coal and delivery was $2.75."

The
Saturday
Tribune.
ONE of tho secrets of ths
great and growing popular
ity of the Saturday Tribune
Is Its originality. Unlike the
special editions of many other
papers. It Is not made up largely
If not exclusively, of stereotyped
features widely syndicated for
simultaneous publication. On
the contrary, the bulk of the
special matter presented In The
Saturday Tribune Is prepared
especially for this paper. Tha
The Baturday Tribune Is satis
factorily filling Its Held Is sub
stantially manifested by
steadily growing constituency.
No other paper ever printed In
the history of Boranton Journal
Ism has achieved a fuller meas
ure of success than The Batur
day Tribune.
The Saturday Tribune Is es
sentially Scranton's Favorite
Newspaper.
BASE BILL IRQ OTHER SPORTS.
A!
tilt the year round The Trib
une Is In advance In cover
ing events of note In tht
porting world. But with tht
opening of the base ball season
It will, as heretofore, give addi
tional attention to tht depart
ment Base ball lovers will find
the games covered more fully ,
from day to day In The Tribune
than they are covered by any
other paper printed or sold la
Scranton. This paper Is the
recognised authority In Boran
ton on base ball and other sports
and arrangements ' have been
made that will Insure fuller and
better reports than ever before.
Patrons of the national tram
will find In The Tribune every
day In the week Just what they
want In the way of detailed re
ports, whleh will be supplement
ed each Saturday with a page of
the freshest and most readable '
sporting hews and gossip.' Dui
attention will also be given to all
Other out-door pastimes.

CORES THE TOBACCO HABIT
IN 4 TO 10 DAYS
OR HONEY REFUNDED.
Use All the Tobacco You Want Till
Your "Craving" Is Gone.
NARCOTI-CURE is the only remedy in the world that acta
directly on the nerves and drives the nicotine from the system
tu from four to ten day. It leaves tho patient in better health
than before taking, and is warrantod free from any injurious
ingredients.
NAKCOTI-CURB is popular because it allows the patient
to nse all the tobacco ho wants while under treatment, or until
the "crnvinc" and "hankering" are gone. It is then no sacri
fice to throw away tobacco forever.
NAKCOTI-CURE is sold at the uniform price of $5.00 a
bottle and one bottle cures.
Money refunded if a cure is not effected when taken accord
ing to directions.
