V'.: 6 THE SCBA3TOX TRIBUNE T7EDNESDAY X10SNIXa AUGUST 28, 1895. tCopyright 1H8S, by ' Th hut was nullf of piices of rook carefully tilted toRi-ther at the bnck.nnj t first I could discover no means of in vestigating the interior from where I stood. Just then I heard the door open, And I crept behind a rock. Peering from my retreat I saw the woman go to ward the grove with a poll. There was spring of fresh water there. I apain approached the house and finding a large crack at one place between the edges of the stones. I took out my knife and chipped briskly away at the clay until I heard a clatter Inside which warned mo that L had penetrated the wall. The dusk had now fallen and it was nearly dark. Mother Vldeaux re turned and lit a candle, after first clos ing the door carefully behind her. With my eye to the chink in the wall I could see the Interior of the one room fairly well. It contained a rude table, one chair, a bed of cocoa leaves in a corner, a few old baskets and household uten sils and a barrel. Mother Vldeaux made her tea and then turned to the basket of food she had brought from the enclosure. She laid each article carelessly on the table, but when she came to the loaf For pythe had given her, she turned it over and over In her hands, chuckling In a low, cracked tone, as though its ap pearance amused her. Then she laid it carefully by and ate her supper with apparent appetite. I need not say that T was Intensely Interested, and watched every motion as she cleared away the table, lit b short clay pipe, and then, as I guessed she would, took up the loaf again. She .00 1. x Rough Diamonds, leaned over the table and crumbled It carefully with her fingers, morsel by morsel. Soon she uttered an ejacula tion. Something had fallen upon the table from the crumbs. She picked it up and held it to the light, which caught one point of it and sent out an oblkpje prismatic ray; It was a rough diamond! My heart gave a great bound of de light 1 had found my clew at last. She went through the whole loaf, and laid nine diamonds in a little heap on the table. Then, satisfied there were no more, she gathered up the crumbs, put them away, and reaching In the barrel brought out a cocoanut. The husk was trimmed and It was ready for shipping. She took a knife and dug out one of the "eyes" and put the diamonds through the opening Into the nut. Next she filled the ,,eye" with pitch, as Is the cus tom to preserve the nuts, and holding It to her ear, shook it violently. It made no Bound I could hear, the milk in the liut probably preventing the stones from striking together. Mother Vldeaux laughed gleefully and tossed the nut .' back Into the barrel. She sat down in her chair again, smoking contentedly, and I was about to beat a retreat, satisfied that I had . learned all I had hoped to, when my at tention . was arrested by Heelng her ; reach suddenly forward and take a small round basket upon her knee. It was a native basket, made of woven cocoa-leaves, and covered over the top by a course cloth. She untied one end of this and lifted It up. tntantly there glided over her arm a Blender,, silver-gray snake, and a shud der went over me as I recognized the dt.adly asp. It rested upon her shoulder and thrust Its flat head before her face. (Mother Vldeaux laugher and patted the head and stroked Its shining neck. "fJInd to get out. Poison?" she crooned, tenderly, an a mother would talk to a child; "glad to stir about a bit. ' Is oa ? Hard life, Poison, to be cooped up all day In a basket, wl' nothing to stick those pretty fangs Into! Take care, deary!" as the snake made a ftud d'.m motion with its graceful head, t'murrh't strike. at mammy, you know. It'll be worse for you If you acts ugly wi' mammy. There! I'll let you stay out tonight. You can be my watch dog and keep the niggers away. Ha, ha, ha I ' No one likes to bother Mother Vl deaux when her pets are loose. Run ftway, now, Poison, and we'll go to bed." - Shivering with horror at the scene, I drew back, . and as my eye grew ac customed to the fading light without, I picked up my way to the corner of the YonSeokridrol!"

Irvine Barbollor.J out speaking, and then broke Into a fury. "You scoundrel!" he cried, with an oath, "if I thought you were prying into, my affairs, I'd kill you as I would a dog!" "Mr. Forsythe." I returned, "pray recollect yourself. You ore speaking; to one authorized by your brother and yourself to discover this theft of your diamonds. How much I know I shall not at present tell, but I warn you to lie careful what you say if you would not have the whole world, as well as your brother, know the truth!" He controlled himself with an effort; I could see his face was purple with rage and his hands clinched tightly to gether; but he turned on his heel with out another word and inarched down the path to the enclosure. I followed as silently, already regretting that I had shown him my hand so soon. Thank heaven, the ship was due in three days! He shut himself up In his room with out even a glance at me, ntul 1 went to my own, and wrote a full account of the scene I had witnessed at the cot tage. Then 1 knocked at Herr Schiltz's door. "Well?" he cried. "Come in!" I en tered and asked him If he would keep' a small parcel for me till I went away. He rolled his eyes toward me without a spark of intelligence ' in them. He was already drunk, and a glass at h.ls elbow; so I thrust my pneket. addressed to my employer, Into his desk, and iilt the room. The fellow had already for gotten even my presence, and sat star ing stupidly before him. V. IN DEADLY PBUIL. I did not spc Howard Forsythe until noon the next day. and then the look he gave me was so malignant that I did not address him. The day wore away without adven ture, to my satisfaction, and I retired early to my room. The next morning I was walking about the enclosure to take the air, and telling myself that tomorrow the steamer would arrive and deliver me from my Imprisonment, when to my surprise Howard Forsythe walked to ward me. "fiood morning. Andrews." he said, ns he came up, "have you finished your mission?" "Not entirely." "Then you do not Intend to leave by tomorrow s noar r "Pardon me: I do." He looked at me steadfastly for a time, puffing at his cigar and evidently thinking what he should say. When he spoke it was Jn an altered tone. "We had better understand one an other, Andrews." I nodded my acquiescence. "As the head of affairs In Benlta." he continued, "and my brother's represen tative. I request a full report of what ever you may have discovered or rather, what you think you have dis covered." For a moment his audacity took my breath away, but I replied, shortly: "I am employed by your brother. My report will be made to him alone." "You have fully decided to Ignore me?" "To the extent of retaining what knowledge of the theft I possess." "Very good. It is not what I had a right to expect, but I think we under stand earn other," and without mors ado he turned his back and walked away. I reflected that although he might understand me I could not say that I understood him, or his intentions, and In spite of myself I grew nervous as the day wore away and I saw that he studiously avoided jne. I made a farewell tall on Mr. snfl Mrs. Delby that evening, and when they discovered I was to leave the next day they managed with an effort to forget one another partially and enter tain me to the best of their resources. When I left them It was already dark, and as the office building seemed de serted I decided to go to bed. fining to my room I wrote up my diary, partially packed my valise, and then, not feeling sleepy, I read for an hour In an old novel I had found at the office. Even after putting out the lamp and crawling into bed I felt nervous and wakeful, and It was a long time before I fell Into a doze. I woke abruptly, with a sense of Im pending danger, and opened my eyes. The moonlight Bhone full through the curtalnless window and fell upon the door opposite me. I could discern all obects within the little room nearly as well as by day, for the bed was be side the window and therefore In shade, while the' soft light flooded the space beyond and rendered me Invisible to anyone standing In the doorway. Someone was standing there now, for T saw his form darkly outlined against the frame, and the door stood half open. While I was debating whether or not to cry out, the form disappeared a moment, and then, returning, ad vanced a step and plicnd sorrte object upon the floor. My eyes followed each motion, and as he stepped back I was horrified to recognize In the object a small round native basket similar to Mother Vldeaux's. Thfs one also was covered with a course cloth, and my hair arose with terror when I saw the Intruder'reaeh out his arm and fumble with the knots. at the side. (To be continued.) . THEY LET HIM SMOKE. It Was the Only Favor the Old Man Wanted and It Was Readily Uraattd. From theJ New York Herald. The following story of a German Diogenes Is perfectly authentic. Whpn King Frederick William IV. visited the Rhine provinces. In the year of IMS, he made a short stay at Wesel, where he called at the house of the oldest man In his kingdom, aged 10ft years. He found him comfortably seated In an. old armchair, smoking a pipe his Inseparable companion. On the King's arrival, he rose to his feet and stepped forward a few paces, but his majesty made him sit down again and talked to him with the greatest freedom, the old man puffing away at his pipe all the time. When about to leave the .King asked him If he had any wish that It was In his power to gratify. "No thanks, your Majesty, t have all I want In this world," was the reply. 'Really! Just thmk for a moment; we mortals, have generally some par ticular desire or aspiration." "Well, sire, now I came to think of It, I might haye a- favor to ask. My doctor Insists onmy taking a walk every day on the ramparts. Every time I pass the powder magazine the sentry shouts to trie from afar: Take that pipe out of your mouth," and as I walk very slowly, my pipe goes out very time, r Now, If your Majesty would be good enough to order the sentry to let me smoke my pipe in peace all the way, I should consider It the greatest kindness you could confer on me for the rest of my natural life." The order was- given, and the old fellow enjoyed the privilege for more than two years and died at last with his pipe in his mouth. . , TEE V01D CF EOQS STOCKS AND BOXES.

Already an electric plow haa been test ed in Ocrmany, and Is found to per form Its work well, though not quite so cheaply In the first exiierlment as a man and horse.

From the Detroit Free Press. He stood for a minute looking into the open door of a Woodward avenue drug store, and when he entered and approached the soda fountain it was on tip-toe, and he likewise spoke In whis pers, as he said to the clerk rinsing the glasses: Wil you. sir win you Kinaiy permit me to ask you a question?" "What is it?" was the query, as tne clerk wondered what Bort of a man he had gotten hold of. I have heard or people expiomns after drinking soda water." "So have I, but I don't believe U. "Don't you know of any cases?" "No. sir." "And yet. sir." continued the man as he rubbed his hands ami grew more earnest, "soda water Is effervescent. "Oh yes." "Under certain conditions of the hM- man system the gas contained In glass of soda water might be let loose with the most disastrous effects on tne Imbiber. In fnct, sir, he might explode blow up be shattered Into fragments while his palate was yet tickled witn the flavor of pine-apple and cream." "What do you want?" bluntly demand ed the clerk as he finished rinsing the last glass. "I'd like to try It, sir," hoarsely whls pered the caller. 'You mean you d like to see if a glass of our soda would blow you up? "Yes. sir." "Well, 1 can tell you that It won't not to-day not unless you've got nickel to lay down for It." "You don't wish to try any experi ments?" No. sir." 'Just so. I nm perfectly willing to take my chances, but you have no curt osity. I understand you perfectly. In stead of experimenting you are after the dross? 'That's It." 'I see. Takes dross to run a soda fountain. Out of the natural kindness of your heart you you couldn't?" No, sir!" 'I see I understand. But there are other soda fountains In Detroit?" "Oh! yes." "And I may find one where a willing ness to be blown up will take the place of dross? ' "Perhaps so. but I won't bank on It." "I see I follow you. No, we won't bank on It, but we'll hopefully Investi gate. Young man, I thank you. You are drossy, but not too drossy. 8h! give nothing away and good-night!" HE DIDN'T DARE DROWN. From the San Francisco Post. A fat, middle-aged woman, with a voice between a grunt and a groan, sat on a bench at Piedmont, with her 12-year-old boy, who watched the bath ers splashing and spluttering around the tank. The heat was sweltering, and the boy begged and pleaded to be allowed to go Into the water. He prom ised to pull all the weeds out of the garden, to carry In the wood for a week without being told and to wipe the dishes every night. "No; I'm afraid you'll drownd," declared the cautious mother, but there were evidences of Indecision In her voice. If she had said "Shut up; you shan't," the buy, would have known his fate was sealed. "I'll wheel the baby every morning," he added, by way of a further bribe. The fat Woman mopped her perspir ing face, looked on at the crowd, and snapped: "Well, go on; but If you drownd you can t blame me." The boy was soon splashing and pad dllng around. He had assured his mother that he could swim a little, and she eyed him narrowly to And out If he had been lying. The boy had got out Into deep water, when his head went under. His mother thought It was merely one of the boy's tricks, and kept her seat. He came up all right, and looking frightened, floundered a mo ment and went down again. He was under a little longer, and bubbles came up where his head ought to be. Up he bobbed again, splashing and trying to cry for help. He was sinking for the third time, when his mother sprang to the edge of the tank, and, shaking her nst at tne boy, screamed: "You, Simon Peter Mates. Don't you dare nrownn, or I 11 skin you alive." The boy saw the first and heard the threat, and, with his face contorted with fear, kicking out desiterately and kept afloat until some of the bathers lifted him nut. The terrible threat saved his life. He dldn 't'dare drown. T French Injection Compound rare pradllTelr, qnlrklr. (not nwiWr ebertml UunnnUMl or mannr ntundel, Anldasngnniu eniasllM.
