It has trouble enough of ils own.

Sigh, it is lost on the air ;
The echoes rebound to a joyful sound
And shrink from voicing care.
Bejoiee, and men will seek you.
Grieve, and they turn and go :
They want full measure of your pleasure.
But thiy do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many,

There are none to decliue your nectared

But alone you mut drink life's gall.
Feast, and your balls are crowded.

THE C KK AT JEWEL KOBBEHY.
The little world of fashionable
London society was startled a few
years ago by reports of a series of
i : t t V. . . . TU.. .

cosuy gems aeeu, us "'-l-l'
L ?7 "t T.
their owners. The.-e robberies defied
detection. A clue in oue ease was
upset by the facts in another. When
my aid as privato detective was
called in, I resolved to Confine try
attention to thne distinct cases
though, of course, if useful informa
tion came in my way concerning
other matters, I should know how
to take advantage of it.
The first cf the three on my list
was the case of the Dowager Lady
A., a somewhat eccentric old lady,
who found her chief delight in
arraying herielfin her most valuable
jewels and visiting in regular rota
tion ail the West End theatres. One
night, when returning from one of
these expeditions, her carriage had
been overturned by colliding with
an omnibus. The Dowager was
seriously injured, and within a few
days she was dead. Then, appar
ently for the first time, it was dis
covered that the whole ol the jewels
worn by Lady A. on the night of the ;
carnage accident liad niytenously
disappeared.
He maid was so overcome by the
sight of her injured mistress that she
failed altogether to remember what
was done with these jewels at the
moment when her ladyship was
undressed. It was even a question
whether tbey might not have been
actually lost in the street during the
confusion of the accident. At all
events no trace cf them could be
found, and it soon became evident
that in the excitement of summon
ing relatives, fetching doctors, and,
verv soon, nurses and undertakers,
bait a doen persons micht have
entered the house and walked off
with the jewels without any chance
of dttection.
Then I turned my attention to
the second case that of the young
Countess of B. There seemed less
room for doubt in this instance.
The fashionable wedding of the
Autumn had been that of the Eearl
of B. with Mis Blank. There had
been a churchful of people at St.
George's, Hanover-square, and a
host of guests at th breakfast at
the Unique Hotel. On the morning
of the wedding, the Earl had pre
sented his bride with a magnificent
tiara of diamonds. As the "happy
pair " were to start almost immedi
ately for the Continent, these dia
monds, inclosed in a case, were
hastily packed in a traveling bag,
whicn the bride's traveling maid
was never to let out of her sight.
On arriving at Paris the bag was
apparently intact, but on opening
the jewel case the tiara was missing.
Clearly it must have been cleveiiy
extracted from Jie case while lying
in tne brides dressins-room, trie
empty case then being placed inthecian8 in London, asked in aston-
bag. Who had stolen the Countess'
diamonds ? The maid, the bride's
mother, and a younger brother had
alone, as ftr as it was known, enter
the room where the jewels were ly
ing. I don't mind saying that I had
some difficulty in believing that a
bona fide robbery bad been com
mitted. You may not believe it,
but I am convinced that many a
startling robbery of jewels would be
explained if we knew of all the pri
vate debut incurred by ladies of
fashion, and of the sacrifices some
times made by them to screen from
disgrace themselves, or some deeply
involved connection.
Meanwhile I made inquiries con
cerning ro'iberv No. 3. This was at
Colonel C's. There the only thing
missed was a very valuable bracelet.
There had been a dance at the house.
During the evening Mrs. C. had
clipped and sprained her ankle so
severely that a doctor had to be
summontd, and the party was some
what prematurely brought to a
close. Mrs. C. distinctly remember
ed wearing the bracelet, but wheth
er she had it on at the moment of
falling she could not remember.
There had been naturally some con
fusion in the ballroom, and the lady
had been carried to her own room.
It was not for some ho'irs that the
loss of the bracelet was noticed.
Then a search was made, but alto
gether without success.
In the first and third of these
cases suspicion seemed to point at
once to some member of the house
hold ; but all my inquiries failed to
find any trace of the missing prop
erty. The servants all willingly
consented, nav. even offered to have
their boxes searched, and for some! his wife's young face suppose when
weeks I confessed myself bafrltd. ithe golden gates of fortune flew
The missing property had disap- j open, he should find it was too
peared as completely as though iti late!
had never existed. j How long I sat dreaming in Dr.
Ao-ain and airain I went over the i West's room I know not. but it is
whole circumstances as ttey Dad
been related to me. There was, I
reflected, one circumstance common
to all three ot the robberies, if rob
eries they were. There had been at
the time some nnusual amount of
confusion, all lending opportunity
for a theft to take place without im -
mediate detection. The Dowager
Lady A.'s diamonds had been stolen
during her illness, or about the time
of her death. The Countess of B.
set

had lost her diamonds during the j
excitement of a wedding breafelast
at the hotel. At Colonel C.'b house
thore had been a ball on the night
when the bracelet was lost. Was
there any one, I asked myself, who,
bv chance or intention, had been
present at each place at the time of j
tne roooery r Any occasional wait
er, for example, or servant of any
kind? I could rot find that there
had been. Yet, if the thief were not
one of the household, bow was it
that a etraner should in three sepa
rate instances fix oc au establish
ment where the circumstances were
favorable to a robbery of valuable
property ? In two case there had
been illness, and a haty summon
ing of doctors. That led to another
thought : Was it possible that some
experienced thief or gang of thieves
had laid themselves out to track the
broughams of fashionable West End
physicians, on the chance of finding
hall doors left pen, and property
somewhat loosely guarded ? I had
I not thoueht of such a thing serious
ly before ; but it seemed now to be
an idea worth following up. Once
mora I resumed inquiries. Who
was the doctor summoned in the
case of the Dowager Lady A? I
easily ascertained. It was on of
the best known men, at that time,
in j,otldor,. He and his brougham
-!would be familiar to every thief who
frequented West-end thoroug
frequented West-end thoroughfares.
I next inquired at Colonel C.'s. To
mv satisfaction. I learned that the
same doctor had attended in this
case.
w Here," I said to myself, ' I begin
to see daylight. Shortly afterward
I made a further discovery. The
coachman who drove the famous
physician to Lady A 's on the nieht
ot the accident, and to Colonel C.'s
on the night of the ball, had only
been in his employ a few weeks and
on the date of the Earl of B.'s wed
ding the man had driven the car
nage of one ot the guests at tne
breakfast.
The clew I felt was becoming
strong. The thief, I grew convinced
was a confederate of the grave.faced
man in spotless black, who drove the
fashionable doctor Jfrom one houst;
of sickness to another. I resolved
to obtain an interview with the
doctor, and, after explaining my
suspicions, plan some moue oi ae
tecting so consummate a rascal.
Circumstances occurred to make me
resolve to carry out my purpose
without delay.
My journey took me to one f the
somewhat sombre-looking streets
that run down to the Thames from
the Chelsea side, between Chelsea
Bridge and Buttersea Bridge. The
name, M Gideon West, M. D., Physi
cian and Surgeon," inscribed on a
brass 'date, told me when I had
reached my destination. Dr. West, I
was informed, was still out, late
thoush it was, and the time of his
coming home was most ur.cfrtain.
I was determined, however, not to
return without seeing him, and after
assuring the tired-looking servant
that I should certainly await Dr.
West's return, even if I had to pas
the night on the doorstep, I was
shown into the consulting-room,
where a wood tire was still burning
on the hearth. Seating myself in
an arm-chair, with a high screen be
hind me, I settled down to my
vigil, however long it might be.
I had often noticed the bouse ;
for who did not feel some interest in
so famous a medical man as Gideon
West? Why he had chosen such a
house I did not learn until after
ward ; but I knew it was an old-
! fashioned, rambling sort of place.
with a room built on here at one
time, and there at another time ;
windows had been blocked np at
one place, and windows had been let
in at another ; in fact, it was a house
that seemed to defy a stranger to
explain upon what rule, or what
want of rule, it had been so con
structed. Those who first heard of Gideon
West as oEe of the most famous phy-
ishmect how he could live in such
a ramshackle-looking buildinsr. Per
haps they forget that even famous
doctors were not born famous.
Gideon West, when he entered on
hi3 professional career, was anything
but famous, and be was as poor as
he wellcould be. Father and moth
er were dead, brothers and sisters
he had none. An almost forgotten
godmother had, to his surprise, left
bini the old house at Chelsea. This
was about the time he received his
diploma. Thereupon Gideon West
married, for love, a girl without a
penny, settled himself in bis new
possession, bad the brass plate af
fixed to tha door, and awaited the
patients who were to prove his Ekill
and make his fortune. It was a
weary waiting; but the young bride
had unlimited trust in her husband,
and Gideon West never for a mo
ment lost tailb in himself.
Slowly, very slowly, a small prac
tice grew upon his hands ; but the
struggle that only braced Gideon
West for the battle of life proved toe
terrible for the frail young wife.
But there was co complaining, no
repining, no word to tell of doubt,
much less despair, and Gideon West
battled on. He knew, as though it
had already come, that he should at
last prevail. He had measured his
own strength, and felt that he could
trust it But and it was that but
alone which troubled bim suppose
he should have to wait years and
years suppose, as those years went
by, be should see the color pale on
the face be loved ; the brightness
fade from the yes be delighted to
gaze into suppose his long years of
; waiting were marked in the lines on
certain I must have fallen asleep
before the crackling embers ; when
I awoke I found myself in all but
darkness. The gas had been lower
ed, and only a flickering grow from
the dying fire remained to cast drear
, ana ianiasuc enaaows on me cemnsr.
1 Many hours must have passed. I
'must have been forgotten when the
; servants retired to rest, and Dr. W est
j either had not returned or bad not
1 been made .ware of my presence.
My position was embarrassing. To
wake up in the middle ot the night
and to find myeeif in a strange
house was a new experience. I
groped about the room acd felt for
the door bv which I bad entered : it
was locked. Bell cf any sort I
could find none, i tried to raise
ray voice, but the death stillness and
darkness of the room seemed tostiflw
me. I found the window and looked
out It opened high above a court
yard closed in by walls. Again I
tried the door. Then Iremeuiherpd
that it was a sort of passage-room ;
that there was a door leadicg froa. it
to an apartment bev ond. 1 manag
ed to find this door, covered as it
was with heavy tapestry hangings
Feeling very much like a thief, I
tritd the handle. It turned in my
hand, and tha door yielded noise
lessly. Beyond I saw a large square
chamber, evidently a bedroom ; but
the bed was unoccupied. It was a
quaint and haunted-lookiog room,
with a high oaken skirtiog and ptn
tled ceiling. A. couple of candles
burned on the dressing table, and
threw a faint light over the dark fur
niture, and the t.tpestries that hung
against the walls.
Once more I tried to call out ; but
my tongue seemed dried up. and
my voice refused to be hard. Pres
ently, to my relief, I heard a human
voice. It evidently came from au
apartment beyond the one into which
I had ventured. Impelled, I hard
ly knew how, I resolved to venture
further; and as my footsteps fell
noiselessly on the thick carpet, I
could hardly believe I was not wan
dering in a dream through the mys
terious chambers of the dead.
Ytt more aud more distinctly I
heard the sad, low voice that had
caught my ear, and I apprwehwd
stealthily, and I confess with some
thing like awe, the dour, which, as
I perceived, opened from the bed
room to the chamber whence the
voicw proceeded. Here, as before, a
curtain of antique tapstry reaching
from the ceiling to the door conceal
ed the aper.tture, and trying Cau
tiously t;:-3 door, I found that it
opened toward me. This :ive me
tin); to retlect, before iiitru iing,
wilii stealthy sterir. i:i th dead of
niht, into the privacy of this ln
nermcft chamber. Like a ku''1J
creature I stood and listened. The
voice for there seemed to be one
was close at hand. It was a strange
ly melancholy voice, yet possessing
a fascinating power that chained me
to the spot.
"Will you never, never speak to
itie again, my darling, my darling !"
I heard tiis words too plainly to
mistake or forget thttm. " Will you
never speak to me again ! Year af
ter year, as the day conies round, I
have prayed to God to grant me but
cne sweet word one word to tell
me of your love 1 Oh, aiy darling,
my darling, have I prayed in yain ?
Will those lips never again open
with a smiie, tlios-e eyes never aain
look into mine, even when I come
to you on my knees, as I do this
Christmas morning !"
These strange words reproached
me. Into what sacred precincts
had I intruded? What heart
breaking grief was I desecrating?
Suddenly the tone of voice chang
ed. The .ad pathos gave way to
accents of jov See ! see, my be
loved one : here are gifts worthy of
a Queen. Did I not tell you the
time would come when all our strug
gles would be over ; wnen there
would be no more fighting for very
bread : no more daily care ; no
more dread cf the future ; no tears
of success, because it would 'be al
ready mine! Ah, Gertrude, my
wi!e, my darling, you were good aud
patient to me in those days. If the
clouds were dark, your eyes were
always bright ; if the heavens wer
overcast, vour smile drove away the
storm ; your voice was the music of
my life, your ceaseless trust was my
lodestar. But all has changed ; those
days have pased ; I am rich now ;
thev say I am famous. The day is
now too short lor my work, and the
night too short for rest. And yet I
need rest. I feel I cannot iive much
longer if I may not rest. My brain
is ever reeling with weariness, yet I
cannct sleep. Night after night is
one long viail. No sleep, no rest,
no peace ! I have been waiting for
this night, for you, my love, for
you ! And now the hour has come.
It is Christmas morning. Hark!
Already I hear the sound of the
Christmas bells. Ah ! no wonder,
lor my wife, my beloved, ha3 come
back to me at last come back to
me from the dead I"
In feverish excitement I listened.
But there was no answer, not a
sound, when that trembling voice
ceased, to break the stillness of the
night.
Presently it began again. "They
tell me it is thirty years ago. Non
sense! That is only a dream. It
was yestereay yesterday that you
spuke te me for the last time yes
terday that you bade me good-bye,
and kiised me when I went away.
And to-day, you are aa you were
then. No change, no change, none
at all. You are as young and as
! fair as when I first took your hand
; in mine and called you 'wife.' "
Then there was a pausend I was
j conscious of the same movement be

What followed started me, but it
called me back to life. With a voice
thrilling with emotioD, the man
once more broke the silence. "Ger

With a cry that might have been

that instant I turned in the direc

that agonized look upon his face,
and as I did so I loosened my hold

amid streaming tears, "You have
killed him ! My son, my son !"
And now, how shall I finish my
story without wearying you with
explanations ? Let me go back to
that old question once asked by
Gideon West : "What if success
should come to late?"' For all the
happiness it could bring him, it did
come to late. His struggle evith fate,
if not long, had been a bitter, one.
There fell a grievous sickness on the
neighborhood ; disease and death
stalked abroad, and mowed down
their victims without counting the
numbers. Against the grim tyrants
Gideon West fought day and night ;
his enerzy was endless, his courage
undaunted, ami hetnumphed. So,
not Gideon West, but the weapons
of science triumphed in his hands.
Disease and death were driven from
the field ; aa they tied they shot one
last bolt at their victor it trlanced
off his armor, but left his wife and
child dead at his side.
Yes ; he had won. But what was
the victory worth? Fame, reward,"!
wealth, ail were his ; but the one
hope of his life was dead. Ytt he
never spared himself never cea-ed
work for a day never hesitated at
any sacrifice. He lived, he said, for
only one object it was to "wear out
his life-" The old home knew him
to the end. and one faithful and'
devoted woman gave all her years
to cheer the one hero of her life, the
poor struggling surgeon, the great
physician the man who for pure
love had married her only child
Gertrude a husband !
But the end came suddenly at last,
and outwardly there seemed to be
no signs of failing power. The
mind seemed as lresh and as vigor
ous as ever. Only in one direction
did it give away. Years of never
ceasing brooding over his dead wife
and child did ils work; and as the
sad anniversary of his wile s birth -
dav, her marriage, and of her death,
once more approached, the siram
overpowered him. A mania seized
bim : he must offer her tne most:
costly treasures. Yet they must
not appear to come from him, but
from others, from those who owed
their health, their life, to his skill.
They must be proofs of his fame
proofs to the dead wife of her hus
bands triumph. The mania grew
upon bitfl. When ever he saw any
thing that was of peculiar value he
eeemed to claim it as bis own, fully
Dersuaded. as I believe, that it was a
willinsr offerins; to the memory of
his dead wife. And so those once
inexplicable disappearances were
explained. No one suspected,would

The Philadelphia Time's tell how,
in 1S15, two Frenchmen in a sleigh
stopped at Sutlers tavern, a long,
iow wooden etrnctnre on the iau
mii of the Allezhenies, in Somerset
I county, and asked for refreshments.
iThev spoke very broken English,
said they had not long been in this
country, and were traveling for
pleasure. The countrymen loung
ing about stared at them, because)
they did not often see- such guests at
Sutler's tavern. They were hand
somely dressed in the fashion of the
day. The eldsr was talL large, fine
looking, with jet black hair and eyes.
The younger was pale, slight, intel
lectual in appearance, with large,
soft brown eyes and light chestnut
hair.
Among tha orowd of idlers and
drinkers at the tavern was a drover
wno won a arop too mucu, uu
bragged of the hue sales he had
made of his cattle in Cumberland,
from where he waa just now return
ing with the money in his pockft
The drover rode away on his white
horse a little while before dusk for
his borne, some miles off. The
Frenchineu then inquired where the
next good stopping place was,
ordered their horse and sleigh, and
drove in the track of the drover, say
ing they were in haste to reach a
certain place by the next day. That
night the drover's waiting wife saw
his horse come home without hi
master, with his white coat spotted
with blood stains. The drover's
body was found next morning, still
and stark, with a bullet through his
brain.
The Frenchmen were suspected
and pursued. They were fjund at
a house some miles on. The larger
one started to run away, when he
was shot dead. The little one was
taken to Somerset, tried, and found
guilty of the drover's murder. The
money which the drover bad carried
upon bis person was never found.
It was supposed by many that the
Frenchmeu had thrown it in the tire
when they found they were going to
be mobbed. The pale young gen
tleman protested his innocence, said
he had influential friends and a fam
ily in his own country, to whom the
authorities here would have to ans
swer for their treatment of him. He
persisted to the last that he and his
companion had passed the drover
op the road and parted with him in
a quiet and friendly manner. Ha
remonstrated violently when the of
ficials came to put him into a cart
with a rude pine coffin, and tried to
break the coffin to pieces. He wore
about him a miniature, sit with
pearls, cf a lovely girl. He gve his
name as Noel Huguel.
Many wondered if that girl did
not wait and watch and pine in
France for her beautiful lover, who
wa hanged by the neck until he
wns dev. in the far-off mountains of
Pennsylvania. Many thought him
a victim of circumstantial evidence:
that the drover's murderer escaped
t:o. free with the money, and that
Noel Huguel was an innocent man,
bis mysterious disappearance nevr
was accounted for to his friends in
Ejiope. He was retusel the privilege
of writing to them after he was ar

dispute as to where he wm buried.
