Misnaming a tnllcl.
*ot loug ago a child was brought
to mo for baptism, and when 1 asked
the lather for tha desired name, ho
replied that It was Kathsheba, writes
the Rev. T. De Witt Talmuge, D.
D., in "When Things aro Against
I s" in the Ladles Home Journal.
Now, why any parent should wish to
give to a child the name of that In
famous creature of Scripture times,
passes beyond my understanding, i
haveoften felt at the baptismal altar,
when names were announced to me,
like saying, as did the Rev. Dr. Rich
ards of Morristown. New Jersey,
when a child was presented him for
sprinkling and the name given,
"Hadn't you bettor call it something
else?" There is no excuse for any
assault and battery on the cradle
when our languago is opulent with
names musical in sound and sugges
tive in ueaning, such as John, mean
ing "the gracious gilt of God"; or
Henry, meaning "the chief of a
household"; or Alfred, meaning
"God our,salvation"; or Nicholas
meaning "victory of the people"; or
Ambrose, meaning "immortal"; or
Ancbcw, meaning "manly"; or
Esther, meaning "a star"; or Abi
gail, meaning "my father's joy"; or
Anna, meaning "grace"; or Victoria,
meaning "victory"; or Rosalie, mean
ing "beautiful as a rose"; or Mar
garet, meaning "a pearl"; or Ida,
"Goodlike"; or Clara, meaning "Il
lustrious": or Amelia, meaning
"busy"; or Bertha, meaning "beau
tiful"; and hundreds of other names
just as good that are a help rather
than a hindrance

George disappeared, and soon re
turned with the visitor, for whom he
placed a chair and then discreetly re
tired.
"Mr. Hyudenseko?" he inquirod, in
a quavering voice.
"At your service, sir," replied the
detective.
"You know me by name, Mr.
Hydenseke?"
"Everybody knows Sir Jacob True
love," answered our friend, with his
sunvest bow.
"I have come to consult you, Mr.
Hydenseke, on a most private and
important matter. I need hardly say
that whatever I may tell you must be
regarded as strictly and absolutely
confidential."
"Quite so," nodded Mr. Hyden
seke. "You may trust my discretiou,
I assure you."
"Thank you; I feel that I can.
Now, Mr. Hydenseke, you know, per
haps, that I ain a great collector of
antique gems?"
I have heard that you possess
about the best privato collection in
England."
"Well, I think I do. At least, 11
am aware of none better, with the
possible exception of that belonging |
to my friend, the Duke of X ,at |
B Castle. His father, you know,
spent fabulous sums in acquiring rare
specimens. He was a grtat, con
noisseur. But his sou hardly ap
preciates or values his splendid col
lection sufficient!}'. However, that
has nothing to do with the present
case. What I have come to consult
you about is this: I have just been
robbed of the most valuable gem in
my whole collection."
Ah ! said Mr. Hydeneke, laconic
ally, screwing up his eyes and waiting j
to hear more.
"The gem in question," ooutinued
the old man, iu an excited voice, "is
ring of the Roman Emperor
Vespasian, a rare sort of blood-stone,
engraved with a miniature Colosseum,
and round it the letters T. F. V. I.
(Titus Flavins Vespasianus Imporator), j
in a setting of African gold. The
workmanship of the ring is beautiful |
—beautiful. That alone would render
it valuable. But what makes it almost
priceless is its extreme rarity. There
are only two others like it iu Eng
land, or, I believe, in Europe."
Audtheseare— where?"
"The one at the British Museum;
the other in the collection of which 1
was speaking just now—the Duke of
X 's, at B Castle."
"YVhen did you first miss this rinsr
Sir Jacob?" a '
"Yesterday, wheu I opened my
jewel safe to arrange and classify some
new purchases."
"And when had you last opened it
previously?"
"The day before that. I had a call
from Janshikoff, the great dealer iu
antique gems, and T then opened my
safe in his presence to ask his opinion
about one or two seats which I picked
up last month in Brussels, and of the
genuineness of which I was not satis
fied."
"The ring was not missing then?"
"No; to that J can swear. The fact
is, Mr. Hydenseke (and I may as well
confess at once), that I have a sus
picion—amounting almost to a cer
tainty—that Janshikoff took the ring."
"Hem!" coughed Mr. Hydenseke,
performing his favorite operation of
scratching his chin. "You believe
that, do you?"
"I am convinced of it."'
"Have you communicated with thf
police?"
"No; I have expressly refrained
from doing so. I must recover that
ring, Mr. Hydenseke (dropping his
voice and speaking very impressively)
without either scandal or publicity,
In fact (and I have heard of your do
ing such things), I wish it got away
from Janshikoff without his knowl
edge. There is n secret connected
with it which must never he divulged."
"A dangerous secret?" inquired Mr.
Hydenseke.
"Yes; dangerous in a sense—that
is, if it were known iu certain quar
ters that I possessed the ring I might
be obliged to hand it over to its orig
inal owners. You remember the big
jewel scandal at the Vaticun fifteen
years ago?"
"Perfectly."
"Well, a ring closely resembliug
that which we are discussing disap
peared from the Pope's collection at
that time, and could never be traced.
This one—d mean the one I have just
lost—l picked up at a seedy second
hand shop iu Paris two years back. I
paid a good price for it, and I asked
no questions. You take me?"
"I think so, Sir Jacob," answered
Mr. Hydenseke, with his peculiar
smile.
"You will understand, then," the
other continued, "why I am anxious
to have the matter kept strictly pri
vate. "
"Of course. And, perhaps, Janshi
koff took that into account—eh?"
"Most probably. He is a very sharp
fellow. But now, Mr. Hydenseke
(he spoke very excitedly, loauiug over
and placing his hand on the detective's
sleeve), I must get that, signet back
without delay. For if Janshikoff once
parts with it, good-bye to our chance
of ever seeiug it again. Will yon un
dertake the job, Mr. Hydenseke?"
"What's ttio figure?" asked our
friend, thoughtfully.
"A cool thousand and all cxpouses."
"Very well, Sir Jacob, I'm your
man."
Mr. Hydenseke now produced his
notebook, and put the Baronet through
a lengthy catechism, jutting down his
replies iu shorthand. At the end of
this process, which occupied about an
hour, Sir Jacob roso to take his de
parture.
"Yon will lose no time—no time,
Mr. Hydenseke, will you?" ho said, in
a voice of absolute entreaty. "It" I
fail to recover that signet it will almost
kill me."
"Make your mind easy," was the
brisk rejoinder. "I shall start my in
vestigations at ouee. You shall hear
from me shortly how I succeed. Good
morning."
As soon as the Baronet was fairly oft'
the premises Mr. Hydenseke sent for
a cab and drove straight across to the
British Museum. Upon entering that
somber edifice lie betook himsolf to
the room whore the old Roman gems
are on show, and there, with the as
sistance of a catalogue and a civil at
tendant, he discovered the Vespasian
signet. This he carefully inspected
through the glass by which it was j
guarded,finding it answer id exactly to I
the description which Sir Jacob had I
given him. He made a careful draw
ing of the ring, which ho rolegated to
his notebook, and then returned to the
office iu Long Acre to consider his I
next step.
After half an hour spout in careful
reflection he summoned the most
trustworttiy member of his staff, aud
instructed him to keep a watch on i
Janshikoff for the next twenty-four |
j hours.
He did not, indeed, think it prolm- |
hie that the astute dealer iu antiques
would attempt to dispose of his spoil
at present. Still it was better to lie
on the safe side, and to have him kept
under close surveillance, while he
(Mr. Hydenseke) conducted certain
preliminary investigations in another
direction.
"I heard nothing of a Vespasian
signet at the time, I am sure," solilo
quized Mr. Hydenseke, frowning per
plexedly, "I will go ami ask Pinker
ton. l'inkertou is sure to know."
Acting on this resolve, he had no
sooner given his employe the neces
sary instructions about watching j
Janshikoff, than he walked round to '
Mr. Pinkerton's shop in AVardour
street. Jeremiah Pinkerton keeps an
emporium for articles of virtu, which
he knows more about than any othor
man in England. He is an old- i
fashioned man; old-fashioned in his
appearance, his methods, and, more ;
particularly, in his honesty. But lie |
is very shrewd; gifted witli a raosl
capacious memory; aud, us an expert j
in Greek and Roman gems, without an
equal.
Mr. Hydenseke had often had oc- |
casion to consult him, aud knew him
intimately.
"flow arc you, Pinkerton?" said
our friend, shaking hands with the :
dealer ; "give me livo minutes' private !
talk. You know the Vespasian signet
at the British Museum, I suppose.
"Rather," answered Pinkerton.
"How many are there like it iu ex
istence?"
"Only one other; that is in tho
Duke of X—'s collection at B."
"So I thought. But I have been
informed to-ilay, Mr. Pinkerton, that
there was a third specimen, which was
stolen from tho Vatican in that great
jewel robbery fifteen years ago."
"I don't believe it," said the dealer,
decidedly. "The principal genis miss
ing were all mentioiyal—in fact, a
list of thorn was printed and circu
lated by the police among all the
chief dealers in Europe. I had one
sent here, 1 recollect, and I am quite
certain that n Y r espasian signet—which
would have been the inost precious of
the whole lot—was uot included."
Oil leaving Pinkerton's emporium,
our frieuil hailed a cab, drove to hie
private house, where he kept the
vehicle waiting while he packed a
Gladstone bag, and then ordered the
driver to take him with all speed to
Paddington. He was in time for the
afteruoon down mail, by which he pro
ceeded to B , reaching that quaint
country town about 5 o'clock. Having
ascertained at his hotel, the X
Arms, that the Duke was in residence
Nt the castlo, lie betook himself thith
er with as little delay as possible.
His Grace, for whom Mr. Hydensekc
had more than onca acted in confiden
tial matters, readily saw the detective,
and gave him permission to inspect
his collection of rings, being himself
present during the process. The re
sult of this inspection and of a long
conversation with the Duke, was that
an urgent telegram was dispatched lo
Pinkerton asking him to come down
to B as cariy us possible next
morning.
It was two days later, and Mr.
Hydensekc was standing before the
fire in his office, with his hands, in
true British fashion, behind his coat
tails. A rather odd smile, suggesting
triumph and self-satisfaction, flickered
about the corners of his mouth. He
had sent a messenger about an hour
previously to request Sir Jacob True
love's attendance at the office as soon
as convenient, and he was now await
ing that gentleman's arrival.
By and by the street bell rang, and
u minute or two later the Baronet was
ushered in.
"Good morning, Mr. Hydensekc,"
he began, with an eager, anxious look
on his cunning face—"you have got
the riug! You told me in your note
you have got the riug!"
"Yes," rejoined Mr. Hydensekc,
pursing up his lips and speaking in
cisively, "1 have got the ring."
"Then, for the love of God, give it
me at once," cried Sir Jacob, with
strange excitement. "Here- here
I (pulling out his check book from his
i breast-pocket) I'll pay you your tliou
- sand pounds at once. The ring, Mr.
: Hydensekc—give me the ring."
i "Wait a minute. Sir Jacob," said
the detective, coldly, waving back the
other's outstretched hand. "1 have a
| word or two to say first. I always deal
| square'with those who are square with
| mo. lam not squeamish, not I. I
tako up almost any cases for those
who pay me well, and 1 carry out my
client's wishes to the best of my
power, without raising any inconve
nient questions of right nnd wrong, or
anything of that sort. But I make
one stipulation. My clients must bo
square with ine; and they must tell
me the truth !"
"What do you mean, Mr. Hyden
sekc?" muttered Sir Jacob, beginning
to turn pnlc.
"It is nothing to me," the detective
went on, without heeding the inter
ruption, "that you have tried to steal
that ring from the Duke of X——, or
that, finding yourself forestalled, yon
laid a plot to steal it from the man
who had anticipated you. But it is a j
great deal to me that, instead of toll- I
ing me the truth, you tried to delude
me into your service with n pack of
silly falsehoods and a trumped-up
| story about a third Vespasian signet, 1
stolen from tho Vatican, which had
never had any existence, either there
or elsewhere."
"I—l—don't understand you. Do
—do—you realize whom you're talk
ing to?" stammered the Baronet, trom
bling, however, in every limb. "You
must be mad, Mr. Hydenseke."
"1 huve traokod out tho whole affair
from first to lost," continued the
! other. "You had better listen, and
, deny any of my statements if you can.
j You intended (taking advantage of 1
[your intimaoy at B —, and of the
Duke's comparative antiquarian ig- !
norance) to steal the Vespasian signet '
from his collection aud substitute a
forged one in its place. You employed
Janshikoff to make you the nocessary
imitation. He gained an inkling of your
plau, aud thinking the idea a good one
made a second imitation for his own
use, and paying a visit to B just
one day before you forestalled you in
filching the real signet. You went
down aud duly effected your theft, but
when you oame to examine your spoil
you found it (only a Bliam that
you had got. Knowing that Janshi
koff had been thero the day before j
(for the Duke showed you some gems ■
which Janshikoff had brought down
for his inspection), you easily guessed
what had huppened, nnd being determ
ined to get tho real siguot from that
astute dealer—a thing which your
own skill could novel* have accom
plished—you enlisted my services.
Now, if you had told me the truth, :
f would have douo my best for you, i
even as matters stood. But as you [
have seen fit to try and impose on j
me, and to gaiu my help by false pro- 1
tenses, you must accept the conse
quences. Tho riug has been restored i
to the Duke of X , ami is now back J
in its place at B."
"It's a lio—the whole thing's a lie," '
persisted Sir Jacob. But his looks I
declared the guilt which his words de
nied in vain.
'*[ have forced a full confession |
from Janshikoff," Mr. Hydenseke said ;
"in tho face of which, and of othor j
convincing evidence, your denial or '
admission is perfectly immaterial, j
j Now, Sir Jacob, you had better pay j
■ me my thousand pounds and let the !
affair be closed?"
! "What?" the Baronet almost i
I shrieked, pay you a thousand pounds j
| for—for—ploying me false aud mak
| ing a fool of me."
I "Those are my terms," said Mr. ]
j Hydenseke, quietly; "you may accept
them, or you may decline them and
accept—the consequences."
"It is scandalous," protested Sir j
Jacob, furiously. "I'll not submit to
be blackmailed in this infernal man- j
ner."
"Look here, Sir Jacob," said the ]
detective, with his sternest and nioSt, |
determined air, "you have tried to
fool me, and you must pay for it. [
Whether in money or exposure, decide
yourself." •
The Baronet raved, swore, pro- [
tested, pleaded, was abject, insolent, \
pathetic, hectoring, but to no pur
pose. Mr. Hydenseke remained uu- j
moved by all these demonstrations,
and they ended (as our wily frirnd I
- foresaw they would) in Sir Jacob draw
ing the required check.
3 When tho latter had taken his de
- parture—in a perfect storm of im
, potent oaths and curses—Mr. Hydeu-
I seke sat down at his writing table, and,
f with a very comfortable smile, worked
• out a short addition sum upon bis
