He. cast a hunted look about him and darted toward the rear door, but I stepped In the doorway and headed him off. He hesitated for a moment, and then, confronting me, he asked: "Who are you. m'sler?" "I have told you." I replied. "And you come from M. Oroneau?" I nodded. I cannot tell ypu how sur prised 1 was that this name, chosen at random, should have so powerful an effect upon this member of the Rims of thieves who had conspired to plunder the mines of Heiilta. Hut In the scene that hud Just ensued I hud seen my nd vnntnRe. and. conscious that M. Prou bet was In my power, I resolved to end the matter at once. . "Look you." I said sternly. "I know your whole vile plot. I am an American detective, and 1 have discovered at last the thieves who have so lonj? robbed the Heiilta diamond mines. Howard Forsyth is dead, and " Hut there was no time to say more. Like a shot Drubert had turned and darted from the door, nnd when I reached It a moment later he had dis appeared In the passing throng. How to act In an emergency of this kind puzzled me. Should I call upon the Parisian police to assist me In cap turing this man? So far I had acted entirely alone, and I had at present no authority to pursue and capture the thief. Coming to Paris In pursuit of evidence. I had stumbled upon my man at once: but now that I knew him for a receiver of the stolen diamonds I felt myself powerless to net until I hail more direct evidence of his guilt. The first thing I did was to lock the. street door. Then I re-entered the little back room and was rejoiced to find the oak door slightly ajar. Had It been closed I should have required a lock smith to open It. and at present I pre ferred to work alone. I pushed open the door and entered. It was Hroubet's workshop, and was composed of four solid brick walls, lighted from a skylight, and with no means of egress excepting the oak door. In the center of the room was a bench containing the Implements required by a diamond cutter, and one or two half cut stones also lay upon It. There was another bench behind the door, and when I turned toward It I stopped abruptly, while my heart semed turned to stone as I realized what a revelation confronted me. Piled upon the bench were more than a score of brlglttly bound books. One was laying open before me, and the leaves were perforated with a round hole near the edge! A steel die. used lor cutting this hole, stood beside the book, and under the bench were several new packing cases. With a horrible fear at my heart a sickening certainty of what I should see I turned over sne of the cases and found it marked: "M. Jules Croneau, Bookseller. 14th street. New York." I sank Into a chair and burled my face In my hands. This. then, was the result of my long search the search whose reward was to have been the happiness of my darling Josephine. I had been so Joyous a day before: I had thought myself so near the suc cessful termination of my task! That very evening, as I walked to my Inter- tlnrnlngths Evidence. view with M. Droubet, I had pictured to myself the cozy home I should es tablish when my reward was earned, and the Joy of seeing Josephine flitting lightly about the sunny rooms, minis tering to the comfort of her husband and of that father she loved so de .' votedly. 1 If my little girl, with her frank na ture, and pure, sweet soul, discovered that her father was a thief, the know ledge would surely kill her, or at least embitter her whole life. She waB likely to refuse to marry an honest man, with this taint upon her name. 'And then I conceived a determined resolu tion that never, could I prevent It, should my darling know the truth. "What mattered It to the owners of Bentta. now that the theft was dis covered and the arch-criminal dead, now that no more stones could be stolen and disposed of, what mattered It If one or two of i.he minor criminals 'should escape their just punishment? 'I dared not arrest Droubet now, for his capture would be sure to Implicate M. Croneau. I believed that no one but myself and Mother Vldeaux knew what became of the stones, and I re t solved to suppress all knowledge that might lead to the discovery of the truth. I acknowledged then, and I do now, that my action was culpable. A fine de tective. Indeed, must be one who allows criminals to escape their merited pun ishment! ' ' An honorable servant. In truth. Is he' who falls to carry out the task he has assumed! But Josephine! J3hall that lovely .flower tie crushed by 'a weight of Infamy In no way deserved save through the decrees of a' mocking fate? Never, If I can help It! In a corner cupboard was a Jar con taining seventy finely cut diamonds several more were secreted In the pock ets of the books. I secured them all, and then turned my attention to the task of obliterating all proofs of Drou bet's complicity In the crime. I broke up the boxes, and burned them and the books In the grate. I destroyed whatever tools I could and threw the rest In a corner. Then I walked out and sprung the catch of the great door behind me, and left the fruit shop forever. e , Without a word to announce my ar rival I walked Into Mr. Forsythe's office one bright June morning and told him that I had come to the end of my mis sion. - - . He was overcome with grief at hear ing of his brother's death, which I In formed him was due to the bite of a (terpen that had secreted Itself In the house. 1 did not tell him that Howard ' VorsrUM bad attempted to murder me, . Irving Bachsller.) or that he was the thief I had been set to catch. What use to cause him unnecessary grief? If I could cover up part of the crime to protect my loved one. I could surely afford to spare the memory of his only brother, one whom he nlTec tlonately regarded, and believed an honorable man. No! I't the skeletons He side by side undisturbed. I did not mention :Mother Vldeaux, either, satisfied that she could cause no further mischief, but I Invented a fairy tale of a pocket found In the rocks, in which were hidden the rough and pol ished gems I laid before him. He sighed and regarded them absent ly. "And you could discover absolutely no clue to the theft?" "None whatever." "Then we must let the matter rest, and trust the thief will be to fright ened by the discovery of his store of pelf to carry his depredations further." I had lost my reward, but 'Mr. For sythe kindly offered me a position of trust In his establishment, which I re fused. I could not bear to associate with him In business with that terrible secret In my breast. After my interview "with Mr. For sythe I turned toward the Frety-h book store, with my heart tilled with the most pleasurable anticipations, for at least I was to see Josephine. Hut my career as a detective was to bear more fruit. I little knew that I was entering a house of mourning. I am convinced that only my oppor tune arrival saved my darling's heart fmm breaking. M. Croneau had that morning re ceived a message from Paris. He ap peared dazed after reading it, but con trolling his emotion he carefully burned 1) A .Message from Paris. the paper, took his daughter In his arms and kissed her tenderly, and then, walk ing Into tlie back room he shot himself through the heart. All this happened years ago; I am an old man now. I have lived to see Jose phine's happy face through many yearS reward me for the suppression of my secret, and she died trusting to meet her father In paradise. Our children have grown up and scattered to homes of their own; the mines of Benita are long since abandoned, and their owners are dust. And, so perhaps, It Is fitting that my life's story should at last be told. L. Frank Bann.' (The End.) THE WORTDTbUIESS STOCKS AND BONDS. New York, Aug. 29.

Major Handy, in the Times-Herald: Quay's fight has been one of the moot In teresting and virulent in our recent polit ical annuls. Consider the Influences ar rayed against him. They were the stale administration, which was his own crea tion, the city administration of Phllodel pbla unj the city administration of Pitts burg, both also lurgely his own handi work, the three greatct corporations in Pennsylvania, the chairman of the state Republican organization, every candidate for the succession to Cameron, including Wanamuker with his millions, Wldenor with his millions, Dolan with his millions, Urahsm with Dlsston's millions and Charles Emory Smith wUh his popularity as a political speaker and with the back ing of the Philadelphia Press ami its millionaire proprietor. On the other hand, there was Quay with his own small pile of money, his personal friendships and euch financial bac king as Senator Cameron was willing to give him In, the fight of his life. It was, Indeed, a famous victory! The boldest .thing that I ever knew a political leader to do was done bv Quay eleven or twelve years ago. Until then he had never held any office depending upon a popular vote. All of his offices had been executive and appointive. The secretary of the commonwealth was the highest. He was in disfavor and discredited. It was thought thait Cameron wns willing to throw him over. He was charged with, through accomplices, looting the state treasury to the extent of over 8300,000 In stock speculations, fine of the men who had been accused of being in complicity with him committed suicide. Another was on the verge of nervous prostration. The state treasurer had died of a broken heart. Quay alone kept his nerve, stoutlv main mining his innocence. It was a thunder clap when ho came out and announced himself as a candidate for state treas urer. Everybody said that he would be wfped off the earth. Rut he was not. It was said that his real candidacy was for the senate. He accepted that Issue and carried the state by nearly 4u.fi00 ma jority and 'then there was no possibility of bewting him for tho senate." A Practical Trolley Reform. Walter Wellmnn's Washington LeMer: Not only is the underground trolley sys tem a success In this city, but the mana gers of the Hne have tnitMiitei a genuine irft)Tm in 'their method of operating trains. The new rule Is to slop at the near side of crossings Instead of the far side, as formerly. For the new plan It Is claimed that there Is not only greater con venience no passengers but much less risk of accident at the street Intersection. Hnvl'ng stoptied before crossing the line of rliiht angle travel the car Is much more likely ito he under the thorough con trol of the motorman thnn If It were driven across the Intersecting thorough fare at full sliced. While waiting for cars passengers have a tendency to stand at tho crossing, and, as the train rushes by ithem before coming to a stop under the old method, many men, and even some women, are tempted to clamber ahonrd and tako a seat while the cars are still In motion. Thero Is the same temptation for passengers to nlight In order to avoid being carried too far by thnlr street. Un der the new plan would-be passengers approach the ears as they come to a rtop, walking toward them, nnd not with them, and In the case of travelers who wish to alight the longer they stay aboard the nearer they miy bo carried to the street which Is their rl-stlnatlon. The near crossing stop has been thoroughly tested In Baltimore and other eastern cities, nnd, it Is claimed, saves many lives anil I'.mbs and much damage to property. The man agers of t:he new underground trolley linn say .they will never go back to the old method, and there Is talk of asking con gress to compel all the transportation tines tn the national capital to adopt that system." Loader Mnges's Vlow of It. Pittsburg Times: "The narrow margin of a mere mujoii.ty In a convention dues lot att-r or transpose the uhld.rg rUh: and wrong of things. YVe believe as firmly as ever that Senator Quay's nt ,to upt virtually ito take Into his own hands as a. personal appointment the selection of a mayor for the great Republican city of Philadelphia, out of which th.s con test had Its beginning, wns a despotic In vasion of the right of home rule, which de served the resentment and defeat It re ceived at the hands of the Republican manhood of that cl.ty. We da not see that the result of the ballot !n the con vention yesterday has wh..teiiixl the record of his subsequent invasion of the prero gative of the governor of the common wealth, and his Interference with Gov ernor Hastings and the leguslature to pre vent the performance of their sworn fluty We fail to see any plank In tho platform, although it was presented as having been prepared by himself,- wh'-eh approves, or even excuses, his unnatural alliance with the solid Democracy -in the legislature to deTe&t any and all Republican spport'.on ment bills. There la a similar omission of any resolution declaring it to be sound Republican doctrine that exceptional ser vice to the party In the capacity of Ms state- chairman, such as was that of Chairman (lilkesoit, ' something wh'oh should bo followed w'th humiliation and aegraoauon from offlcs. Con ves, lien Jorlttes may continue temporary power to go on doiftg these things, and worse, but they cannot sajiotlfy the. doing of them not even 44 despotic -control of conven tions shoultl be au complete that not one Independent voice was raised in manly protest." . , Gains la Self Respcct. Philadelphia Press: "Governor Hastings comes out of the contest beaten on the Immediate Irsue, but with Increased honor on the part of all who resect manhood, Independence and force of character. He wus Ikewlso beaten in 1890, but he came to his own in 1894. lie was right then as he was right this time. The attitude he h Id in the struggle was one he was com pelled to take, whether he was to succeed or whether he was to fail. The position In which his administration was (Jlaced left him no honorable alternative. Had he timorously shut 'his ryes and remained passive, as a man of less resolution would have dune, h would have avoided an un pleasant conflict, but he would have been obliterated as a personal force !n Penn sylvania. Tlr's buttlo Is ended, the result Is accepted, and It would be useless and tin-Republican to fight It over. At the same time. It would lie less than chival rous and far less than Just not to say that Governor Hastings has acted the part of ft true, Intrepid nnd high-minded man, with a lust sense of self-resnect and honor. Whatever else has appeared, this chapter has mH.leJt plain that Daniel 11. 11 list I nrs .Is governor of Pennsylvania, nnd, w'lth fair deference tn all who have s title to consideration, moans to be such throughout his term." Can Present a United Front. Lancaster New Bra: "It was apparent to all disinterested observers, before the contest was half over, that Quay had public sentiment on his side and would have a majority of the delegates. There are hundreds and thousands of Repub licans who had no particular liking for Quay, and who bad opposed 11 11 In the past, who wt re In full stntathy with hi 111 in this tight, because the combination opposing him wns Jusitly regarded ns tho miKut unscrupulous and must daiuterous that ever sought the political control of the state. It was virtually a eonsofida ton of the combines which have been ruling the two great cities of the state, with the Htu.le administration, to extend their power over the entire common wealth; and this the people of the stato were ileterinHned to resist, nnd hence the phenomenal rallying of public sentiment around the "lone fisherman" whom the romb'ne was using all Ms powerful re sources to down. Every Republican who has the welfare of his party nt heart will rejoice that this contest, which for a time threatened the unity of the or ganization, has ended In a manner which will enable us to present a united front to the common enemy In the great battle to come off a year hence." Won Ills lllsgost Rattle. Syracuse Post: "Matthew Stanley Quay Is the biggest man In l'ennsylvauiu today, Hu hits fought the greatest political batiie of his life and won It. In the great con test for leadership among Pennsylvania Republicans lis has won his light alone, lie announced some time ego, 'in a frank and manly fashion, -his ambHIon to be chalrinun of the Republican state com mittee. Perhaps one of the most bitter political tights known in American poli tics followed that announcement. Tho lines were sharply drawn. Intense feel ing wus aroused. When the delegates came to Harnlsburg tho fore part of tho week, there was danger that angry pas slotis might lead to physical violence. Happily that has been averted. Senator Quay secured u majority of the delegutes and then proceeded to use his power gen erously. A satisfactory compromise was arranged, a rtngle convention Instead of two was held, liberal recognition was given to the defeated side, and harmony was restored. Senator Quay has reason to feel proud of hia groat victory." Great Scandal lluppllv Avoided. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph: "Tho one gratifying feature about the close of the fierce factional tight In the Repub lican party In the state of Pennsylvania Is the ugreement to hold a single conven tion. The party organisation is saved the scandal of a bolt and of two conventions and of two sets of candidates. The divi sion will go no farther -Mian the conven tion. The party will he united during the camrnlgn. and at the polls It will cast Ws vote for the convention's nominees. Senator Quay ndroitly shifted the Issue to one between -the conn-try vote nnd tho citv rings. He displayed splendid general rhip, and although at first the odds were heavily against him. he developed unex pected resources and has won a great per gonal victory. It Is such power as the di vided Republicans hnve displayed 4n tho last few weeks which, when united, wins such great victories nt the polls and mnkes the Republican majorities In Penn sylvania objects for the undisguised ad m'ratlon of the politicians of other states." Proved a Matchless (icncrnl. TVIlkes-Barre Record: "Matthew Stan ley Quay has Just scored one of the great est victories of his life, crowned as It 1s with brilliant achievements, and one of the most notable In the history of modern politics as well. That he has great genius for the science of politics has long been conceded, but that he could come out a winner In his contest with the administra tion, handicapped ns he wos from the strtrt, few believed until lie proved it at Harrlshurg yesterday. The leading public men of the nation, Republicans and Dem ocrats nllke, have always designated him ns the "matchless lender," the greatest In the whole country. And he certainly Is.. Those who opposed him in the fight, now happily over, have been compelled to watch his finesse and skill with ndmlra t'nn, even though they could not sympa thize with tho motives that Inspired him." Now Hcndv for th Fncmv. Philadelphia Press: "The Republican party presents n. united front In the cam paign, and whatever Its family qunrrels It stands together against the common foe. As hns been demonstrated on other oc casions. Its representatives, when they directly face the exigencies of a critical situation, do not forget the responsibili ties devolving on them."

NARCOTI-CUBE Is the only remedy in the world that acts directly on the nerves and drives the nicotine from the system tn from four to ton day. It leaves the patient in bettor health than before taking, and is warranted free from any injurious ingredients. NAUCOTI-CURE is popular because it allows the patient to use all the tobacco he wanta while under treatment, or until tho "craving" and 'hankering" are gone. It is then no sacri fice to throw away tobacco forever. NAKCOTI CUUE is sold at the uniform price of $5.00 a bottle and ono bottle cures. Money rcfuuded if a cure is not effected when taken accord' ing to directions. 'PROF. W. H. WAITF, Of Amherst, Mass., Chewed Tot's coo for 40 years, and Was Cured by Nsrcotl Curs. AMnrnsT.
