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

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

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!" II Cried, with an Oath-
house, turned Into the path, and. came
face to face with Howard Forsythe!

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. . ,

ANXIOUS TO EXPERIMENT.
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.

The greatest discovery of the age!
A certain, pleasant, permanent
cure.
A lifetime's suffering ended for
15.00.

sia, heartburn, and drains on your
vital forces?
Htop tiBing tobacco, but stop the
right way I Drive the nicotine from
your system by tho use of this
wonderful remedy.
Narcoti-C'ukb Is warranted to
remove all desire for tobacco in
every form, including Cigar, Cigar
ette and Pipe Smoking, Chewing
and Snuff Taking.
Use all the tobacco you want
while under treatment, and in
from four to ten days your "hank
ering" and "craving" will disap
pear the weed won't taste good.
Then throw away tobacco for
ever. Narcoti-Curk is entirely vege

tone and new vigor to the weakest
constitution.
Remember Narcoti-Cure does
not deprive you of tobacco while
effecting a cure; doesn't ask you
to buy several bottles to be entitled
to a guarantee; doesn't require a
month's treatment; and. finally.
doesn't enable you to stop tobacco
only to And yourself a slave to the
habit of tablet chewing.
