"Gentlemen," began Mr. Barnes, j rising, "I am only an ordinary man, j ■ following a profes-icp »t which 6ome ■ are disposed to sneer, hut which to mo ; ' =eems but the plain duty of one who is j endowed with the peculiar qualities j that are essential to the calling. Our j host would make a magnificent detect ive, bnt I suppose he feels that he ha ' a higher dnty to perform. Begging yon, then, to forgive my manner of address ■ ing yon, being by no means a speaker, I will tell yon the little that I hav done, prefacing my remarks by saying ; that without tho valuable assistance of Mr. .Mitel- 11 should have been power less. "There was a enrions button which I rfrnmt in the roum where the anite I was committed, and which matched a I set owned by Mr. Mirchel si cl -ely that it seemed to me to point to him as one who had a guilty knowledge. I spent much time following tho clews that turned up in that c nnection, all ..f which, however, was not entirety misspent, for I discovered the true name of the dead woman to be Rose Montal l>on, and that aided me greatly in my lat«.r work. At last, then, I abandoned the idea that Mr. Mitchel was guilty and frankly admitted this. He then told me the name of the jeweler from which tho buttons had been ordered, and I went across tho Atlantic. "The button which I had was imper fect. This was my starting point. Through letters of introduction which Mr. Mitchel gave me I succeeded in ob taining the assistance of the jewelers. Th% gave mo tho namo of the man who had carved the cameos for them, but they knew nothing of the imperfect but ton. They had also lost track of the cameo cutter. It took mo over a month to trace that man, even with the aid of the Paris police. Finally I found him, and he told me that he had sold the He drained his wineglass. button to a friend. This friend I found after some delay, and he admitted that he had once had rtie button, but that he ; had given it to a woman. More time j was lost in discovering this woman, but j when I did she, too, recognized the , button and said that it had been stolen j from her by another woman, whom she described as a creole. Thus at last I got on tho t»'ick of the Montalbon, for that was the namo which she used in France, j J Under this name it was easier to follow her. I soon learned that she had a com panion, of the name of Jean Molitaire. | I then easily found that Molitaire had been in the employ of the Paris jewel ers as shipping clerk It was he who had written the two descriptions of the jewels, one > f which I found among the i woman's effects and the other in Mr. Mitchel's possession. This was a suspi- : cious circumstance, but wo know now how it was that the handwriting match ed, a fact which had puzzled me great- | ly. It seems that Mr. Mitchel at one time had bought some valuablo papers from the Montalbon woman, paying her with diamonds and recommending her to his Paris jewelers to dispose of them." "That," said Mr. Mitchel, "was partly to get her out of this country and partly to recover tho diamonds, i which I did, through the dealer." "So ho told me. It was when she re- i ceived the money from them that she ' noticed Molitaire. It was not long after that the second set of jewels wero sold . to Mr. Mitchel. This clerk, of course, j knew of the transaction, because he packod them for shipment. Then ho must have persuaded the woman to ac company him across the Atlantic, with j the design of stealing the gems from Mr. Mitohtl as soon as he should tako them from the custom house. This is seen from the fact that throe days after tho shipment this man resigned his posi- j tion, and from that time all trace of both tho man and tho woman in Paris ! is lost.'' "From which you deduco that they followed tho jewels?" said Mr. Mitchel. "Of course. Tho man and woman separated hero to avoid suspicion. By a trick the woman obtained possession of apartments in tho very house where your intended lived, while Molitaire stopped at tiie Hoffman, which, of course, is very near your own hotel. As soon as you went to Boston they follow ed and registered at the same hotel. You obtained tho jewols from the cus- ■ torn house, and they entered your room and robbed you during your absence. Your theory of tho murderer's actions after tho jewels were recovered by you is probably correct. He vent back to j hunt for them, hoping that slio had not 1 placed them in the satchel or rather that she had taken them out of it, since i you yourself placed them there. I think there is no point left unexplained." "Pardon me," said Mr. Thauret, "I think you are wrong. You have not to my mind quite connected this man— What did you call him? Jean Molitaire, 1 was it not? Well, I do not see that you "have traced his hand to tho crime." "I think that I have," said Mr. Barnes. "Xou do not make it clear to me," ! Buid Mr. Thauret, as coolly as though discussing some question in which ho had hut a passing interest. "You say that your Montalbon woman noticed this Molitaire when she sold her dia monds. Later that both missing from Paris. Tho woman turned up in New York, but how do ycu prove that Molitaire did not go to —let us say Rus sia?" . "No," said Mr. Barnes, "he did not go to Russia. Suppose that I should tell you that I ferreted out the fart that this name Molitaire v.-, but an alias, and that the man's true ne«;..- was Moutal- Von? Then, when wo remember that the Roman's name had been cut from all her aarmeuts, is that not significant?" i This speech made a mild sensation, but Mr. Thauret remained unmoved. Ho replied calmly. "All things are significant—how do you interpret this fact, supposing that you could prove it?" "This Molitaire was really the dead woman's husband. They quarreled ; laany years ago, and sho went to New | Qrleans, where she kept a gambling j Jtouse, having learned the trade from ' tiui. \Vheu they met again in Palis she recogniz'd him. Ti.ou, when the fellow con> "ivEd tho idea of following tho jew Is, it suited his purpose to ef fect a reconciliation so that he might nso the woman as a tooL After the mnrd< r it would be to his interest- to hide the nauie of Montalbon by cutting out the marks on the woman's cloth ing." "Pardon mypursuing the argument," .-.iid Mr. Thanret, "but I find it enter taining. You surprise me, Mr. Barnes, at the ready way in which > .-a read men's actions. Only are you sure you are right? Suppose, for instance, that tiio woman had cut ont the marks her self long before, at some time, when eho was using tu alius, then y< ,-r fact Mould lose -oruo of its significance, v. nld it not ? Circumstantial evidence is so difficult to read, you see! Thin, having lost that link, where do you prove Molitaiio or Montalbon guilty: Bi tho woman's husband is no crime in itself." "Nti," said Mr. Barnes, deciding that tho time had eome for an end of the controversy. "Being the woman's hus band do tween genius and insanity."

Where the Diamond Tree Grown. No work on horticulture makes men tion of this interesting shrub, which rarely attains large size, but is mainly restricted to a number of small cuttings. The pawnbroking trade is where the cultivation is carried on. An unscrupu lous pawnbroker having had certain dia mond ornaments intrusted to his safo keeping for awhile is the gardener, and it is iu the arid atmosphere of his work shop that the work of propagation will bo observed. A piece of jewelry in which diamonds are set is carefully examined, aud stones of similar quality, but just a shade smaller in sizo, are cleverly substituted. The removed stones are in turu ox changed for others in another article again, an imperceptible shade bigger, until at last the original cutting has de veloped quite respectable growth and di mensions. It is not wise to force tho growth to too great an extent, and so the original process is being contiuuallv repeated. The beauty of the operation lies in tho slight danger of detection. Tho substi tution in each case varies but very little in the matter of sizo, and the owners of the property rarely or never notice what has taken place, but "many a little makes a muckle," and iu tho course of a few weeks a skillful gardener may make a very good thing out of a diamond tree. —Pearson's Weekly. Denmark. Denmark, although a small country and relatively thinly populated, can cor tainly lay claim to be the most progress ive nation in Europe and is determined not to permit the grass to grow under its feet.

Tho construc tion of the Kiel eanal by tho Germans has had its counterpart in the organiza tion of a magnificent free pert at Copen hagen, and now within the last ten days a railroad ferry line has been established from the Danish capital to Malmoo, in Sweden, by means of which a tourist can travel all the way from Cadiz, in Spain, or Constantinople, in Turkey, to the northernmost point of Norway and Sweden without leaving tjjie train.— New York Tribune.

THE EYE. The eye c.f tho serpent seems to have an expression of intense hatred and malignity. In all nocturnal animals the eyes are placed to look torward, as in the case of man. A bit of gold leaf one one-thousand-one hundred-and-twenty-flfth part of an lnoh square can bo perceived by the naked eye. Nero had bulging, nearsighted eyes. Ho used a small gem in tho shape of a lens to obsorvo the gladiators in the amphitheater. Many kinds of flsh see equally well in every direct ion, their eyes being so promi nent as ta>comniand a wide field of vision. Frederick tho Great had eyes of a clear blue. One of his biographers compared the luster of his eye to that of polished steel. Many creatures of tho lowest orders of animal lifo are provided with eyo spots, which probably give only an impression of light. Milton became blind through writing by a poor light. His oyes were large, of a clear blue, and their appearance was in no way Impaired by his blindness. Tho pupil of tho eye is circular in man, but in cats aud some other animals it U oblong. Tho pupil of man, in u very bright light, will show only a small round spot, while tho eye of a cat under the same conditions will exhibit a vertical slit or lino of black. ADVERTISING AXIOMS. Lack of tiade is bitter, but results from good advertising aro sweet. "The effect ceases with the cause." Therefore advertise with constancy. "Art is long, but lifo is short." Don't make your "ad " too long or too short. "Ads." should bo written in words that burn, but not necessarily In glowing lan guage. The motto of Now Mexloo, "It increases by going." So does an "ad." Is yours going? "The burden which is well bcrno be comes light," and the "ad." well printed brings heavy results. "Better bo wise than rich," says an old proverb, but the majority by far would rather advertise and get rich.—J. Walker Thompson. GASTRIC JUICE. Pickled flsh is a piquant lunch relish.
