"How could he possibly have got the
information?"
How. linK-ed? We have taken every
possible precaution. We hold our Fit
tings, aa you know, at the foreign
office. In an immense saloon upstairs.
The Walla and ceilings are pnxllKlously
thick. We sit at a table in the mkkUe
of .the room, and never raise our voices;
there Id no occasion for us to do i.
.CmJiaps you surest the chimney
somethlniR was once done in Unit way,
or suppovd to be done, for I nvvtr
quite believed the story. But with in
Count Schrlcvnljieff.
tt Is lmpos?Hle, for we keep up a roor
lnpr fire. Neither is It through itlie
bloCtins paper that our secret has
ilie.'n betrayal, for we do not use any;
we powder our writing In the kjoiI old
fashioned style. In flue. It Is abso
lutely Impossible for any outsider to
Ket sight or hearing of our proceedings.
And what makes the Incident aJl the
nmi'e iaunful Is that, hi the tl!stniykm
o( V. particular elausv. we decided
fur the pake of greater security 'to dis
pense with. Che attendance of a secre
tary." Of course I saw the signlflcamce of
th!u. It seemed to point to trearhvry
on the part of on? of the dipkmia'tlsts.
I hlutc.l as much to the prince, but he
was staur.i?h In defense of his order.
"No -doubt," he yald, "It fcoks like it.
(No other exp!ana'..on sems p'.:ll ,
and yet that explanation is imp(;ssilile.
Diplomatists, a you ai.nl I know, are
not considered a specially scrupulous
clafii of people. But .linere la h(..iKr
amongst t'h.-vn, ur.'d 'diplomacy ;lt
elf would be so mi Impr.sisljle If there
w tre not a certain background of confi

in o many alln-r casts, a rlg.d, pro
ltfsilonal etiquette serves as a sucee
dantuin for coiii-'cience. When we act
Individually no doubt we are liable to
do all sorts of queer things. 'But when
we agree to act eolleotlveJy, and mu
tually pledge our honor to keep our
Jircw"'ta-g8 seeiyt, we know we can
trust each oth?r."
I was aware from my own experience
that there was a givat deal of truth in
what the prince paid; still my curiosity
prompted me to oak him, who had
aoted as secretary when the real sec
retary was absent.
"Oh, .there need be. no secret about
that," saiid ,the prince; "It Is Shrieval
J'.eff. How pleased he will be If Le
Vrand upsets the treaty! .My chief
difficulty has been with him."

Irving BacUolIer.
I bnew Count ShrlevalJIcff well, but
did not care much for him. iHe was a
tall, fine man, between fifty and sixty,
exceptionally ugly, but with wonder
fully supple, and. if I may so speak,
adjuistnible manners. Aiwl to match
these he haul an extraordinary com
mand of the facial muscles. When In
perfect repose, -the clean-shaven skin
looked very like a sheet of Ught-ilra.wn
parchment, except that the color was
much ibrowiver than that of parchment.
But, whf n he wished, he could wrinklj
up the entire surface of his face into
a series of concentric curves whlo.li
seemed to represent the ne plus ultra
of human suavity and benevolence.
But they came fo sudrtonly and dls
appeaivd so completely that It wa
imposXole not to harbor a suspicion
that they were wholy superficial, ami
that this -many-wrinkled smile stood In
no vital relation to the man's inn'r
nature. In foot hi reminded me viTy
much of tho grimaces of an India-rubber
doll when you squ?eze Its plastic
countenance.
It was said that the count had de
veloped Mils 'talent for facial contortiiwi
to such an extent 'that he could, when
he chose, niae one side of his face as
sume a different expression from -tlmt
of the other, -so as to 'be aide to present
a -sympa'thetilc asoe-et to two diflV'tent
lntrl'cutors at the pa.me time. This
was. of coursv. not literally true, but
1 always fancied that he -turned a
natural defect 4o such good account
that there was on element of truth In
fhe stattime'iit, I-Vr whilst his rlglit
eye was In all respects .normal, the lid
of the left eye. drouped permanenHy
over 'the eye4all. fThi'3 eye was, moiv
over. always suffused with an excess
of moi'Stuuv, which gave it a somewhat
lai-hrymoise apearance. This, no doubt,
he smnvetlmew turned to good account,
when laaylng a. visit of condolence.
T'hi. fxplaiii'ation probably was tha.t
the left eye wa.s an artlllclal one, ns tilr.
irritation caused, by such artlllclal eyes
Is apt to over-stimulate the lachrymal
glands. At ny rate. It was generally
bttk-ved In diplomatic circles that the
count was blind of the left eye, though
he himself never acnowledged the de
fect. Whilst I was conjuring up In my
mind this linaire of Count fhrieval
Jleff. the prince had 'been prodigal of
larmm'tationis over the stolen trvaty.
"It touches me more than any one,"
he tail, "for it Is precisely this thlr
temth clause In whlnh my gracious
master Is vnoot Interested. lAnd I had
Juft .u weeded In arranglns matters as.
I know he wis hw3 them to lw arranged.
It has givem nif n world of trouble, amd
now 'I.e Grand Is going to upset It all.
It Is 'monstrous that the press should
have such power."
"Is thk-re anything I can do?" I aked.
"If -so. pray conin:'.ind me."
"Wei'l, I thought that, as you know
I.e Grand, you wculd not mOnd trylmsr
to sound hlin, so an to find out. If
p.?s'b'?, hew much he really had dis
covered. Ik t.vuch a braggart tliat he
ml'.zht nwmit 'himself,"
"l will r?e what I can do," I Kiild.
"but I d) li'-''. expect 'that I shall get
mu''h fiit of 'hlin."
"Th'vr.'k vou so very mu?h." said the
prince; "yoij are always doling simie
thinfg for me."
Til.
L1? Grair.1 was staying at an hotol
r?air ''.he chief -post ollleo. 51 I 'bent my
sh?ls In that direction. I did not wh
t3 -a'll en him if I coul 1 avoid It; It
would be far hett-pr that any cwivcrsa
tlon we night have s-ihould pr!ing tip
ca sually. I iwas t'hcrc-fwe not a Hit tie
p!t'a:nd wh.iii, as I was drawing r.rtur
the peat office. I raw my man a little
d!Vitani?e In front of me. It was Im
possible to ml'i'tuke his huso figure, and
curious shambling 'gait.
By an hwiMnct he slimed to know
that some one was vatchlng him from
the rear, for he suddenly turned rouind
and. cutchl-ni.? fight of me, turnvd back
to meet me.
"Ah." he said, fn his grand manner,
"gotag to the post ofllc:', I supos. It
Is the real centre of civilization."
I thought it would tie wMl to accom
pany him, so I said something about
buying stamps.
We entered the post office together,
I.e Grand -prepared to write a telegram.
As he unbuttomed his coat to take out
his own special pencil the gift of porne
monarch I noticed the end of a blue
offtclii.l envelo; sticking out of an in
side breast pocket,' and could not help
wondering whether it contained the
draft of the treaty.-
When iHe had finished writing his
telegram, he came up to me flourishlns
It f.n his hnmd.
"Iti is In one way lucky," he said,
'that we correspondents have ab
solutely no news to send, for the
censorship Is very strict. No cypher
teU-grams nuv allowed to be sent dur
ing the sitting of the congress, and the
ordinary 'Megm-ms are detained, or
euppim-ed, or mutilated, as It sulti the
authorities!. I have no doubt, t-ij. that
the blhck cabinet Is at Its old work of
opening letters. However, if you have
no news to cmmmunleate, it maKes no
difference. . They ran hurdly object to
a telegram like this can they?"
With that he ihand. d me the tele
gram to read. St wa.s very short amd
was ad.lrersed to the office of his paper
In 'Londen:
TH
Everywhere
gray in
Goods
"Cannot obtain much information.
No Rood waiting in the hope tonight."
I huve a trained memory, and when I
reud this teh-irrani I took care to tlx It
indt-libly In my mind. Then 1 returned
It to I.e Grand, and lis handed It to the
clerk, who nivpted It without demur.
'1 had hotxd that I might now g?t a
llttlo privui:? conveisatkm. with th'
ttreu't iruin, but 1 was disappointed, lor
me -moment we got cutiide, he made
hl's adleux a'nd, t.aMing a droschky, was
C'llven back to his hotel. Therj waa
r.'.ithlng fo.r me to but to return to
mlr.e; but, ms-anwhtle, 1 took out my
r.ixe-boiik, 8"id wrote down the teJe
giai.n wcrd for word. Two or tlnve
things had alrcady Ktruck me with T
Bpect to it. Th first was that he hal
evtdxmdy wLshed me to nee It. This liy
Itwi If was auspicious, as Ia Grand r.t
dom did onytlXns without an object.
Th -eecoiwl was, why chould he tele
graph at a)4 if he had no news to con
vey? The third w that, transparent
as th? teloigium svuned, there waf still
somtithln'g a 1IU1- a lit'tle suspicious In
Its lwngth. Why twt have simply tele
graphed: "No news"?
Altogether, I was Eutl-sflad that there
was tome d.ception ubout this tele
gram, and I therefore, procef, led to
treat Is as a cryjvtogrlam. Now the plan
of t'-uch evtj-y-Uay cryptogi-ams Is not,
a rule, very Cinmplleat'ed. Unless, as
was the case with me, there la some
ground of suspicion to start with, a
ve ry Wmple cryptogram will effectually
coirccul the meanli'..g of the writer. But,
knowing what 1 did. I had something
to work upon; and thus helped, I soon
deciphered Le Grand's real meaning.
At least I felt morally certain I had
done so. I merely, took the Initials of
the words In t'heir order, and found
that they made up this pregnant sen
tence: "Coming with T."
"T" of course stood for treaty.
This was not only a piece of Informa
tion, but Just the piece of Information
that might have been expected. For,
If Ie Gmnd had really secured a copy
of the treaty, he would, of course, be
most anxious to transmit It at once to
London. Hut how? It was impossible
to send1 It by telegraph. No cypher
telegrams were allowed to pass and any
other, however Ingeniously constructed,
must needs betray Itself through the
pioper names of persons and countrk-s
without which the treaty would be
mere nonsense. Nor did I think It like
ly that Le Grand would commit such a

BANKRUPTCY
of the physical bcinsr is the result of draw
ing incessantly upon the reserve capital of
nerve force. The wear, tear and strain of
modern life arc concentrated upon the nerv
ous system. The young men of our day be
come sufferers from nervous debility or ex
haustion, nervous prostration or weakness.
This may be the result of too much mental
worry and excitement, or the result of bad
practices and excesses, or pernicious habits,
contracted in youth, thiouh ignorance.
They feel irritable, weak and nervous with
such distressing symptoms as backnche,
dizziness, shooting pains in head or chest,
sometimes indigestion. The middle-aged
men, as well, suffer from exhaustion, loss of
manly power, low spirits, impaired memory,
and many derangements of mind and body.
The ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake
when the overworked business man attempts
to find rest in bed.
The1 physicians and specialists of the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute devote
their best energies to reclaiming and restor
ing sueli unfortunates to health and happi
ness. They have written a book of iGS
pages, treating of these maladies and settinir
forth a ritiotiul means of home-treutincnt
for their cure. It is sent securely sealed, in
plain envelope, on receipt of 10 cents for
postage.

fcTake half a day. Take half an
the trade say it is by far the most
and prudent, and that was for Le Grand
to convey ft in person to London. As
he would travel by the mail, he would
arrive Just as soon as the letter, and no
doubt would enjoy the ovation which
he would assuredly receive.
I looked at my watch. It was al
reudy seven o'clock. The through train
stai'.fd at elglm. I told my valet to
pack my valise and to put In some of
ficial paper and envelopes. This dju-.
I drove to the station by myself. As
yet. there was no sign of Le Grand. I
waited about on the platform In the
hope itt.at he would make U appear
ance, but 1 waited In vain. At last, at
live minutes to tight, it suddenly oc
curred to me to make a thorough In
spection of the train. It was well t did
so, for there, (huddled up In the corner
of a flwt class compartment, with a
traveling car drawii down over his
face, and the collar of his overcoat
pulled up to the eyes, was Le Grand.
And he muRt have been there for near
ly an hour. Jle had done his best to
disguise himself, but there was no concealing-
those huge proportions. I
jumped Into the carriage Just as the

Tlie Augui-it statement of the Jersey
Central nvakes a very favorable ex

railuiK expenses of $34,715, and an in
crf.3se in net earnings of $156,203. Fav
orable as (this I'.iG'ivIng Is, it becomes
even more significant when comparison
U a de'erfa? in gross earnings of only
J4.M5. a decrease in operating expenses
of $1,7,85:1, and an Increase In net earn
ings of $i;i,308. In other words, the
Jersey Contril heft 'month not only
earned $156,268 net more than In . the
correyptiivlliiR invom.h lant ytair, but
$1,1.308 -more than it did In August,
1X9:1. And this gain, toj, was made
under mo?t unfavorable conditions In
fhe- anthracite coal 'trade. The Infer
ence, then, Is that the company made
a large gain In general meichandlse
and passenger .traffic, and, a t the same
time, kept a. close watch on expendi

penses were $:f4.715 less than In August,
JSIH, and $17,853 less than In the same
month of 1S93. In the Philadelphia

hibits as these that have led to recent
advances In the coal i-tocks, not ru
mors of combinations.
