THE SCBANTON TBIBUNE TniTBSDAY MOBNINO, AUGUST 29, 1895.

I tried to cry out. to sprlwr upon the
follow ana Palllo his ilt'sign. but 1 coma
nMther move nor utter a sound. A
dummy perspiration ozictl out uhii my
whole body, ami still I xtarvil wiKlly
at the dim form before me, and the
horrible basket.
I could hear a sllRht rustllnc noise
within the latter, and as the man
liuvied himself wilh the knot, 1 saw the
cloth press upward, now here, now
there, as If the inmate was strtlKKlim?
to escape. Presently the man muttered
a low oath and stood up. Then he drew
out a clilsp knife and bending over the
basket pressed the point through the
doth und cut a lonK trash In it.
Immediately a silver streak flashed
from the aperture and struck him in the
cheek, and clunp therf. lie pave one
shriek of rase and despair that raw?
throuph the whole butldiiiK. and then
he dashed the serpent to the tloor and
trampled it In a wild frenzy. I sprang
upright ujon the bed and cried for
help..
In a moment Herr Pohlltx appeared
fn the doorway with a lighted lamp
held hlch above his head.
"Meln llott!" he cried. "What Is It?"
There was no need to reply: the
strong light from the lump flooded the
w hole room.
Howard Forsythe was rolling upon
the floor In horrible convulsions, and
by his side, flattened Into a shapeless
mass, was the body of the asp.
VI FOL.LOW1.VO THE CL.ITE.
We burled him the next day In the
little palm grove, and Mr. Delby, more
nervous than ever, agreed" to take
charge of the mines until another sup
erintendent could be sent out.
I was very anxious to know whether
Mother Vldeaux would send her cocoa
nuts this time by the steamer, but
"Mela Gott !" lie CrlcJ. "Vat Is Iff
tvhen I went down to the wharf there
stood the barrel as usual, awaiting the
boat. I passed close to It, and noticed
that It was addressed by a tag in a
clear handwriting to
'IM. Francois Droubet,
Fruiterer.
Rue de Valodin T3,
Paris."
I could not credit the writing to
Mother Vldeaux, therefor I decided
that either Howard Forsythe or M.
Itrouhet. whoever he might be, had fur
Dished the tags for her use.
I cannot say how glad I was to stand
upon the steamer's deck and watch the
shores of Iicntta - fade slowly away
upon the horizon. My sojoarn upon the
Inomontory had proven the most hor
rible experience of my life. At Cape
fSuarde I purchased a barrel of cocoa
nuts, to the great astonishment of the
raptaln, and had them stowed In the
hold beside those of Mother Vldeaux.
Two nights afterward, when all was
quiet on board I stole from my state
room tp the hold, and lighting a dark
lantern I opened the barrel of nuts that
had come from Benlta. and carefully
removing them I transferred those from
my own barrel to their place.
Then I replaced Mother Vldeaux's
cocoa nuts into the Cape Ouarde barrel
to prevent any knowledge that they
had been tampered with, and returned
stealthily to my cabin without having
been ohsetved.
The next morning I asked the Cap
tain tohrlng my barel of nuts Into my
stateroom, and Ignoring his evident
surprise at the request, had the satis
faction If seeing them safely deposited
beside my bunk.
The remainder of my task was easy.
In the seclusion of my cabin I cracked
each nut and examined Its contents.
There yvere diamonds In seven of them
fifty-four atones altogether and
ON THE VERGE
Of Giving Up the I IghtAn El
mira Citizen's Last Resource
Proves a Success.
From the Elmlra Gazette. '
Do you know Mr. J. S. Boddcr, of 214
Couth Main street? He has been a business
man and permanent resident of Klmlra fur
ever twenty years. A man whose state
ment cannot be disputed. Well, Mr. Iiod
nVr's case In a nutshell Is that he has
been a sufferer from kidney disorders,
but doesn't suffer any more. We will let
Mm tell what has brought about the
' change. Here la how he spoke of his
case to . our representative: "I have
never been well since the closing of the
war, where. In the service of my coun
try, I contracted kidney and bladder dis
orders. The complaint has gradually
been growing on me. I had sharp pains
In the small of my hack, just back of the
hips, and when they left It was only to
be followed by a dull, heavy pain which
remained continually. - J could lie In but
ono or two positions in bed or the pain
would be almost unbearable. I was
always very sore over the kidneys, and
the urine emitted a strong odor. At
times I felt existence a task. I tried
this, that and the other thing, to no
vail, and was on the verge of giving up
entirely when I saw Doan'a Kidney Pills
advertised. I thought as a last resort I
would give them a trial; they were
highly recommended, and I would use
just this one more remedy. I began
taking them, and I am very glad Indeed
. to givo my statement, that suffering
humanity may receive the same benefit
I have. A few doses of Doan'a Kidney
Fills satisfied me they were helping me.
- Now, the pain is all gone, and I am en
tirely well this, after years of sickness.
My sleep at night la good and refreshing.
' 1 do not feel any more that tired feeling
I used to on rising, all thanks due to
Doan'a Kidney Pills."
. doan's Kidney Pills are for sal by all
dealers. Price, 64) cents- per bos; six

some were of remarkable size and bril
liancy. 1 carefully sorted them and
placed them in a belt about my waist
for safe keeping until 1 could restore
them to their owners.
We touched at Liverpool, where the
Iron chest of diamonds from Honlta
was turned over to the agent waiting to
receive them, nnd 1 sent a short tele
gram to Mr. Forsythe at New York say
lug 1 was on my way home. I did not
mention his brother's horrible death,
us 1 thought It best to wait until I luul
unearthed the whole chain of thieves
and hud them sufely secured. By
waiting my triumph would be all the
greater, and 1 rather shrank from In
forming my employer abruptly of the
fact that his brother was the prime
mover in the theft.
From Liverpool we steamed to Havre,
where 1 hade good-by to the staunch
little boat that had lorne me so safely,
und made my way to Paris. I was all
eagerness to follow up the trail of M.
Francois Droubet, and the very even
ing of mv arirval I sauntered up to the
door of the little fruit stund In the Hue
ile Valodin and walked in.
it was a dingy little room, odorous
from decaying fruit, a tew little piles
of neglected nnd shrunken apples and
oranges being the only stock In view.
A large, stout woman, with hair und
eyes of jet black, slouehily dressed In a
faded print gown, wns behind the
counter reufllng a novel.
She looked up ns I entered, but did
not rise from her chair.
"Is m'sler in?" I asked, raising my
hat.
She looked at me stendlly over her
book and shook her head.
"Will he return soon?" I persisted, in
mv best French.
"Who are you?" she asked abruptly.
"A friend of an Intimnteacnualntance
of M. Droubet," I replied, somewhat
awkwardly.
"Your name?" she demanded, without
moving a line of her stolid counten
ance. 1 hesitated: then remembering that I
must, of necessity be wholly unknown
in Paris, I replied:
"John Andrews."
"Your friend's name?"
"Pardon me. madame, I will confide
that to 'M. Droubet."
She nodded, and glanced at a door
way at the back of the little room.
"Come tomorrow at nine," she said,
and turned to her book with an unmis
takable air of dismissal.
I retired, but before I left the neigh
borhood I walked through an alley and
satisfied myself that the building con
tained a rear room much larger than
the one I had seen. .
Promptly at nine the next morning I
re-entered the fruit store, and found
the lady settled In the same spot and
seemingly as Intensely interested as be
fore In her story.
As she saw me come In she reached
forward under the counter and I heard
the faint tinkle of a bell somewhere In
the distance. I remained Immovable
and soon heard a door opened and
closed and the sound of approaching
footsteps. Then the rear door of the
shop opened and a man appeared In the
doorway.
He was a small man, with stooping
shoulders, a scraeely beard, and small,
keen eyes, which fastened themselves
upon my face and scanned me closely
while he said In a low voice:
"Will monsleurplease step this way?"
I bowed and entered the rear room,
the man holding open the door and
closing It carefully behind me.
The room I stood' in was dimly light
ed and entirely without furniture. It
was probably about ten feet deep and
directly back of the first door I saw
another, but made of heavy oak and
bound In stout Iron a suspicious look
ing door, I thought.
M. Droubet was still searching my
face with his sharp eyes and I had no
chance to observe further.
"What Is your wlxh, m'sler?"
I had prepared my story over night,
and now answered, readily:
"I am a dlmand-cutter by profession.
and only lately arlrved In Paris. I was
recommended to you as one who might
offer me employment. I assure you
i,
I stopped abruptly, alarmed at the
set look of M. Droubet's face. His eyes
were staring at me with painful fixity
and large drops of perspiration broke
out upon his forehead. He noticed my
surprise, and drew his sleeve across his
brow, whilst he moistened his lips with
his tongue and replied:
"A diamond cutter! Surely, m'sler,
you are mistaken. What have I, a poor
fruiterer, to do with cutting diamonds?
An error, m'sler." speaking more confi
dently, "evidently a serious error! May
I ask who sent you?"
This I also was prepared for. I must
Invent some fictitious reference, nnd as
no one was less likely to he known In
Paris than my sweetheart's father, 1
used his name for convenience. "I wns
recommended to you by iM. Jules Cro
neau." He gave a cry and started hack with
an expression of unmistakable fear upon
his pale face, and I was about to Im
prove my advantage, although I, too,
was surprised and mystified, when an
answering cry camo from the front
room.
M. Droubet dashed open the door,
nnd over his shoulder I saw that Mother
Vldeaux's barrel of coconnuts was
standing in the middle of the room.
Evidently It had Just been delivered
to its consignee, but what arrested my

attention was the form of s woman
bending over the ar"rol, her hunds
pressed upon her bosom, and staring
fixedly st the boldly written tag of di
rection. i
M. Don bet moved swiftly to her side
and fixed his eyes also upon the tag.

In an Instant she clapped her hand
over his mouth, but It was too late; the
mischief was done, and she knew It
She walked calmly behind the count
er, put on, shawl and bonnet, and
without a word paced out into the
street and disappeared.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.
New' York, Aug. 28. The upward
movement In stocks made further pro
gress today, SL'l.utU shares of stocks
having changed hands at advancing
prices. The low priced Issues were
the special favorites during the eurly
session, but toward the close the
Grangers loomed into prominence
again, and were brought on a liberal
scale. A sharp outside demand for
such stocks as Pacitlc. Mull, Wabash
Preferred, Tennessee Coul and (Missouri
Paclllc took place. The rise In the low
priced stocks was equal to an 1 per
cent. Late in the day the Grangers
attracted most attention and natural
ly so in view of the favorable reports
of the ?t. Paul and Chicago and Kust
ern Illinois roads for the month of
July. St. Paul sold up to 17: Hock
Island, to X; Otmihu. to 45; North
west, to 10U, and Burlington and
ljulucy to These figures arc the
best attained since the present bull
campaign started. Atoblnson, Illinois
Central, New York Central und Jersey
Central ulso muile new high records.
London. Bold St. Paul again today, but
as of lute the stock formed a ready
resting place. The foreigners, how
ever, bought fairly large amounts of
Wabush, Union Pacific and Denver
and ltlo Grande. In fact the rise In
the preferred to t3 was the result of
lOuropeau purchases. The .bulk of the
buying of the li angers today was
due to Intimations from Inside sources
that the earnings of these roads are
improving steadily. In the Industrials
Sugar and leather was t'Kthcr llrm.
Distilling first advanced to 2'J- and
later receded to 21. "Speculation
closed strong with prices anywhere

THE NEW LOCOMOTIVE.
A Marvelous Machino Combining Steam
and l.lcctriclty.
A rival of the huge electric locomotive
or the Baltimore and Ohio is the Heil
man locomotive, which Is in use daily
on the Nortwest railroad, a trunk line
leading out of Paris, France. It Is
said to be a success, and Its admirers
predict that It will supplant all com
petitors. While the Baltimore and Ohio
locomotive Is supplied with electricity
from an overhead wire, says the Hun,
the Hellman locomotive carries a triple
expansion steam engine, which gener
ates the electricity required. Steam
power produced in the ordinary way
drives a dynamo borne on the tender.
The motors are placed on the trucks.
This arrangement Is said to give a
saving of 20 per cent, in fuel over the
simple steam locomotive.
At first sight such a result seems in
credible. It might be conceded that a
locomotive generating Its own electric
ity by the use of steam would be more
economical than the Baltimore and
Ohio electric locomotive, since It dis
penses with costly overhead copper
wire conductors, and is exempt from
the waste of current Incident to the use
of long wires; but to suggest that It Is
more economical In fuel than the ordi
nary Bteam )Comotlve sounds like a
Joke. The explanation Is that Hellman
gets more power out of a given weight
of coal by using a triple-expansion en
gine. Ordinary locomotives are ex
tremely wasteful of steam. Fly using
the same steam thrice Instead of once
enough power Is saved. It Is said, to
make up for what Is lost In converting
ordinary power into electricity. If this
be practicable the Hellman locomotive
haH for most purposes decided advan
tages over other electric locomotives,
since It can be used on ordinary tracks
without special preparation. Trolley
wires and poles are dispensed with a
great snvlng.
It Is suggested, however, by the Hell
man invention thuf. If It be a practical
thing, a further development of the
steam locomotive Is possible, which
would give It a new lease of life. " For
tine In long tunnels the Baltimore and
f )hlo locomotive remains the best, since
It produces no smoke, as the Hellman
does.
