vn. for josrphine's sake.
The slam of the door aroused M.
Droubet to .action.
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

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.'

VIEWS OF THE RESl'LT.
Quay's boldest Stroke.
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.

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

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

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."

CORES THE TOBACCO HABIT
IN 4 TO 10 DAYS
OR MONEY REFUNDED.
Use All the Tobacco You Want Till
Your "Craving" Is Gone.
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.
