It was almost certain that One day tn\ friend left her two |>ets l ady Benlleld was the thief, nn the 1 a, ‘d on her return the bird quiet she had been known for several ' ls ' ""here to be found. Pussy was years as u kleptomaniac. But for her l,!ri '' 1111 on , '"' i hioti, sleeping conlille they would have railed it by a • i,ni1 1 ty friend jumped to the more ugly name. She was the only ' " n ‘ 11 t '"-' ' :lt "’ ns answer-

customer that had looked at the necklace that afternoon before It was found to he missing. I.ady Benlleld had just returned from Paris when Bourke made nn excuse to call. There was to he a fair for the benefit of the poor,

and she was to have a booth. It so happened that just at this mo-

nient Lord Hcuiicld wits In the hands of the Jews, lie had gone Into a mining speculation ami dropped .$2.-,n,noo. Let it once he known that a scion of nobility who Is supposed to have barrels of money to Inirii is hard tip and don’t know which way to turn, and his creditors come down on him like a

Hock of hungry wolves.

Inspector Bourke under another name and its one of the otlicials of the great fair was received in the lady's morning room. He had posted himself on the subject lo he talked about, and lie talked intelligently and interestingly for half an hour before bringing la his casual and usual remark. Lady Benfield promptly and vigorously asserted her Innocence. He had been through

Next morning, feeling rather ashamed of her outburst, she made Inquiries

the same programme fifty times lie fore, and he mildly replied that he had three days in which to give tip the necklace. After that lime had expired he should feel at liberty to take some other course. Lady Benlleld thereupon defied him ami showed him the door. In leaving lie spoke of calling again. He did call the very next morning, though without the faintest hope of being admitted. To his surprise, he seemed lo he expected, and as I.ady Benlleld came forward with extended hand she said: “You have come again about the necklace, hut I must tell you what I told you yesterday. I know nothin;: whatever about it.” Inspector Bourke’s line was the sentimental and pathetic. It was for him to draw a picture of one of the greatest ladies in England arrested and scandalized and placed in the felon's dock. He asked her to Imagine the feelings of her friends and family. Hie social ruin, the degradation of a proud family. Tears came to the eyes of Lady Beufield as he talked, hut she nevertheless insisted that she did not take the necklace Then the Inspector took the line of bluster. It wasn’t vulgar blit ter, hut genteel bluster. He must go to some of her friends, even to her liushund. He must get them to make her see her position. The jewelry firm wanted no publicity, hut was determined to have the necklace hack or its equivalent In cash. Lady Beufield answered his covert threats by words of defiance. Her husband was In the house, and she threatened to call him in and have her visitor thrown out as a black mailer. She would welcome any sort of suit and prove her innocence. The inspector left her with the observation that ho would make a third call in hopes to find her In a more contrite mood. Ho was again admitted, lie went ovi r Hie ease with her to show her how convincing Hie evidence wtt against her, hut site only smiled eon iempluotisly. Then he played his last card before proceeding to extreme measures, lie astonished her by giving her fneis about iter husband's pecuniary diilieullies. She had received no hint of them, and site would not helievo until the inspector had laid ineonlest ible proofs beforo her. Arrest and trial had no terrors for her, hut public gossip about the family finances terrified her. The caller saw that he had made an Impression, and he bore down as heavily its possible, and at long!It Lady Beufield gave way and

sa id:

"1 will lie to you no longer, if you will promise me lint not a breath of this gets out 1 will give up the nook luce.” The promise was instantly made, and the woman made for her boudoir and soon returned with the ornament. Site war tearful and humiliated, and the Inspector sought to make it as easy lor her ns possible. Site pleaded kleptomania, as they nil do, and was assured Hint hundreds of great ladies had 1 lie ailment and were IlmngUt none Hie worse of. She would he we! coined tit the store as before, and on behalf of the firm he hoped for a call at tin early date. She furnished a plush ease for Hie necklace and bowed I he inspector out. “There is no oilier man like you In England,” said the head of Hie firm ns the plush case was put into his hands. “I do my duty to the best of my ability, sir.” was the reply. “Hold on here, Bourke, but what is thisV" exclaimed the jeweler a moment later. “The necklace from I.ady Beufield,

sir.”

"But not the one stolen from us. 'These stones certainly came from Paris. It is also a more cosily necklace than ours. What In the devil have you been doing?” That evening as he sat in Ids room and smoked his pipe Inspector Bourke figured It out to liis satisfaction. Lady I’enlield had stolon the necklace of a Purls Jeweler amt escaped suspicion. Some one else had gobbled the one at Keep & iJnlet's. Site had given up the stolen gems to (he wrong firm In order lo prevent gossip as to her bus bund's financial straits. M. QUAD.

The Burning, Blasting Winds That Sweep This Arid Waste. The prevailing winds In Death val lev are from I lie west. Though originating in the Pacific ocean and saturaud viiili humidity in traveling the intermediate distance, they are Intercepted by the lofty peaks of four ranges of mountains, which absorb all "f their moisture, so that by the time thov reach the valley all humidity lias disappeared. The Musts are as if heated in a fiery furnace, and no living thing cun survive the intense heat. Even birds indigenous to the region die. it is in the months of greatest heat that the sandstorms of Death valley are most deadly. They rage with intense fury, obliterating the landscape and dimming (lie light of the sun, withering tho f-eaut.\ vegetation and covering the trulls deep in powdered dust. At all times the aspect of the v alley Is tp.o latlvely desolate. No spot on o trill surpasses it lu aridity or fopbet-like heat. iHiring the heated term an hour without water means death. Meat he l omes putrid in an hour. Eggs are ■ inked in Hie blistering sand. Water is only palatable by means of large, porous, earthenware jars, common to till hot countries, suspended in drafts and red it cil in temperature by means of the rapid evaporation of the moisture from the outside.

Wedding Ring Mottoes. The custom of inscribing within the hoop of the betrothal or wedding ring a motto or “posy,” as it was called, was formerly very prevalent. Hamlet asks, “Is this a prologue or the posy of a ring'! 1 ” Some posies were very tender and beautiful. Among the more appropriate posies may he mentioned “Deux corps, uu eoeur,” “My heart and I until I die” and “I am yours” from Ixtceenth century rings, “Love i 1 * or,” “Love true, ’tis joy,” and “Time lessi'tieth not my love” from tin* seventeenth i entury, “Love me,” “My soul will keep thine company to heaven” and “En mu fidelite je finiral urn vie" from the eighteenth. In the ring which "Elori/.el” (afterward George IV.) gave to (lie hapless i’erdita were the words “.To change qu'en mourant—Unalterable to my I’erditn through life.” *

A Finland Festival. Paul Wainoman’s “A Summer Tour In I inland” contains this pretty hit of folklore: "Midsummer is the great animal festival of Finland. From every height a bonfire leaps to the sky In honor of the mating of night and day, who are then united. The Finns possess a poetical legend relating to this annual custom. Kolt and Ainarik. the sunset and sunrise, beseecbed the lord of (he sky to give them permission to lie eternally a bride and bridegroom and once a year to clasp each other lu their glowing arms.”

A Lesson From Nature. “Y’oung gentlemen,” lectured the eminent instructor, “you are old enough now to put away the childish and trivial amusements that sufficed for you when you were younger. Learn n lesson from the dumb brutes and even from flic reptiles. When they arrive at maturity they comport themselves wlllt a eertain dignity.” "It isn't so with the rattlesnake, professor.” objected the young man with the had eye. "The older he grows the more rattles he plays with.”—Chicago Tribune.

Stopping the Exodus. During service In an English church on a warm Sunday many of the congregation. finding the air oppressive, rose and silently stole away. The minister, perceiving that the exodus was about to In me epidemic, paused lu ills discourse “Brethren,” he said, “I am here t > deliver a sermon, not a soliloquy!”

What a Political Speaker Endure*. The political stump speaker has many amusing and many unpleasant experiences. A party of ns went down Into the heart of the east side of New Y’ork one night with a politician somewhat handicapped by Ids wealth ami social position, who nevertheless elect ed to go to the doubtful district per sonally. At a street corner a bunting draped cart awaited liitn, and, climbing to Hie tailboard of this, lie began tell lug tlie ragged audience in well round ed periods how they should vote and why. A few jeers began to crop from tlie tolerance of the crowd. The jeers gained volume He was told to "Aw shet up!” “Close your head!” "Say give us a drink; your talk makes us t'lrsty.” Somewhat disconcerted, but still determined to finish ids speech he was continuing when something hurt led past ids head and splashed gently on the lloor of the cart. Another something and another followed and every one was dodging dccadenl tomatoes until, it becoming impossible to hear a shout above the jeers and laughter of the voters, the horses were started forward out of the soft, red bombardment and tile district left tc Its own political sin- John B. \Ylu eliell in Metropolitan Magazine.

Why Ho Did the Washing. A man came up out of one of the little roof houses across from the woman’s window with a big basket ot clothes. He was followed |>y two small hoys, carrying more clothes and clothespins. Tlie man put the basket of clothes down and began to sort them out preparatory to hanging them on the line. The boys helped, handing him tlie clothespins and some small pieces, one at a time. They were a long while hanging out the clothes liecause of their awkwardness. It was evidently work they vv ••re imnceustomec! to, but at last It was finished, and the hoys went down Into the little root house, leaving the man on tlie roof He stood for a moment looking at the clothes, then, going over to a parapet, sat down between two tall chimneys The woman could see him from her window lean against cue of the cldin neys and by and by throw his arm across ids eves. She found out afterward (hat Ids wife had died the week before. -New Y'orli i'ress. Only a Misunderstanding. Several years ago in a well known wholesale house in a big manufacturing town an old Inn itclor bookkeeper, who had been many years with the firm, suddenly announced that he was to he married. The partners gave him u week’s holiday, and Ids fellow clerks raised a little purse and presented it to pay the expenses of his wedding trip. A couple of days after the wedding one of the members of the firm went down to a seaside resort, and there, lounging about the parade and apparently enjoying himself immensely, he saw his recently married old bookkeeper, hut alone. “Where’s your wife?” asked the principal. “She's at home,” was the reply. "Rut 1 thought you hail money given you for a wedding trip?” “So 1 had," was the reply, “hut I didn’t understand that It was intended to Include her." I’earson’s Weekly.

A Valuable Milestone. A well known novelist was touring through Lancashire in order to learn something of the lives of the inhabitants when lie enme upon an old man breaking stone.' on the roadside and. thinking he might gain some knowledge from him. addressed him (bus: “How far Is it to Eleetwood, my mail?’’ "You'll see it milestone a Mt farther on,” was the gruff reply. “What’s the use, If I can't read?” said tlie novelist, eager to draw tlie old man into a conversation. "Then it'll just suit you, for there’s uovvt on it," said the old fellow.—London Graphic.

Specific Directions. The message was transmitted to the “cub” telegrapher. As written it read "Foundation under freight house needs attention at once.” As delivered to the general foreman the dispatch contained a rather star tllng hit of information. It read: "Found a lion under freight house Needs attention at once.” To which he replied briefly: “Feed the lion and notify the live stock agent.”

Bad Luck. “Mother," said five-year-old Jack, "how much older than you Is father." "Just thirteen years,” replied tlie unsuspecting parent. "Well, mother," seriously continued the child, “Hie next time you marry, don’t marry a man thirteen years older than you. Don’t you know It Is had luck?”- Delineator.

A Strong Pull. Two men were having an argument us to their respective strengths. "Why,” said tlie first, “every morning before breakfast I get a bucket and pull up ninety gallons from the well." "That’s nothing," retorted the other. ”1 get a boat every morning and pull up the river.”

A Doubtful Bag. Salesman—Sorry we’re quite out of game, hut I can recommend the sausages. Mr. Yon Sharpeshooter I I’m, yes! But the wife would not believe I shot ’em.-London Half Holiday. Assume In adversity a countenance of prosperity and in prosperity moderate thy temper. Livy.

LUMBER SOON TO BE SCARCE

The future development of the lumber industry in Ibis count rv It", in the direction of a closer iitiliz'i tion of forest products. Both forest ers and practical lumbermen now agree on this point. .Just what can he done in this field is well illustrated in the operations a the mill of the Great Southern i I.timber Company, vvlitcli has just re opened its plant at Hogtilsa, Louis iana, in response to the Increased de maud for lumber after Hie recent slump in business. Tills is perhap the largest lawmill in Hie United States, if not in tlie world, and is ca pable of turning out the enormous amount of GUO.000 feet of sawn lumber hoard measure per day A read er can get a fair idea of this quantity of lumber when it is told lliat its oti 1 - put is enough lo build a little town of forty iiouses, along with a good sized church and a school house every day. Tills company was quick to grasp the significance of the rapid depletion of timber resources. Last year ii began a co-operative investigation in wood utilization with the United States Forest Service and arrangements have just been completed for renewal of the experiments. The work will he along practical lines and will lie aimed lo secure a closer utilization of the products of the southern lumber mill and at the] same time produce a margin of profit in excess of that obtained by the j methods which are now practiced. I The field for work along this line is broad. U is well known that tlie superior grades of lumber are obtained from old mature trees, provided they are not weakened by decay or other influences. In other words, a thousand feet board measure of lumber. rawed from a tree two feet in diameter, costs less and is worth more than an thousand feet sawed from a trees only eight inches in diameter. Moreover, timber cut front young trees usually contains a large amount of sapwood. if ties, poles. I etc., are cut fro msurh material, they will decay far more rapidly than if cut from heartwood. Ii is not good business policy, however, in a great many cases to saw the most valuable timber into commodities which are relatively low in cost, such as th and poles. It is the intention therefore, of the company to find out just what sizes and classes of timber can he best utilized for Hie cheaper commodities when given a preservatlvi l real nient. To this end a careful study will !>• made to ascertain the amount and value of the products sawed frot trees of different sizes and just ho each can he best utilized so m to si cure greatest economy and profit. Fo example, can a tree eight inches ii diameter he best utilized for ties or for Hooring, and how will the profit compare if treated with those sol i untreated? It seems reasonable t ■ suppose that the profits derived frot the sale of treated timber will ex reed those from untreated timber. Moreover, the greater use of client ically prserved wood will undoubtedly result in that wood giving a great er life in service. Hence, the ainouu of timber cut annually in the Unite States, simply to replace that with has decayed, will he materially ib creased, and a further conrervalioi of forest resources will result. Ri cent estimates by tlie Forest Servic place litis reduction tit 10 per cett of the total timber cut. Tlie prac tical benefits of those experiment and of the investigations for tin utilization of sawmill waste an a once apparent.
