a p HA Molar Mysteryfc 1 1 Cu; ;: ifc.il. Ill* Funk A. Muiury Coraiiaiiy By ELLIOT WALKER Tbe man who was so attached to an aching tcoth that he carried ll away with 1dm after extraction. Dr. Shailey’s office bell tinkled softly as the door opened. The dentist glanced up from his examination of a broken nerve-broach, which had snapped under his careful testing; then arose with a professional smile. "You have about four minutes to straighten me out; I’ve a train to make.'* The stranger removed his hat, hoisted his stout body into the operating chair, yawned as if in anticipation of coming relief, lay back, bracing for the necessary shock, and observed cooly: "Second upper molar, left Jaw. Go ahead.” He placed a think finger-tip on the offending tooth, half closing his eyes, as his mouth stretched widely. “One moment, sir.” Sharley never hurried. His mild gray eye peered in, past the sound, white incisors and canines to where the finger lingered nuting a marked absence of the grinders. "A hasty, temporary filling, I see,” he observed. "Poor work! Poor work! Nerve insufficiently treated, probably. With time I could save that tooth, sir. It’s a pity to lose it. Painful?” "I’m bothered half to death with it. Take the thing out! Come, my time is more important than a piece of bone.” “As you say. of course. It is a large tooth, and solidly set in the Jaw. These three-fingered fellows hate to say ’good-bye.’ A little gas, eh?” “No. I don’t mind pain. I never take anything. Grip it carefully, doctor; don't break the rascal. I hate these second yanks.” Sharley smiled. “I rarely do that,” ho said, selecting a pair of forceps. "Readyr A nod, a twist, a short grunt. "Well done! How much?” said the cool patient, sitting up for the necessary aftermath. "Fifty cents. Thanks! Few men have vour nerve, my friend.” Instrument and tooth lay on the adjustable stand affixed to the dentist's chair. "I would like to examine that chap.” Obsened the old dentist. "I hated to extract it.” “Another glass of water, doctor. I —I’m a bit faint ” Sharley ran into his small back room, turned the faucet, and opened a cupboard for the handy whisky liask. It look but a few seconds; too long, however, for his impatient visitor. The doctor heard a hasty, “I can’t wait,” the clang of his door bell, hen hurried, departing footfalls. “I’ll look at the tooth,” thought Sharley, returning: "It’s a—why, I certainly laid it here! Could it have rolled ofi the stand? t remember takIng it from th< foi sepa Well! Well!" lie searched in vain. The big molar had disappeared. "My friend must have taken his property along for a souvenir,” the dentist smiled disconsolately. “It was his to take, of coui e, hut 1 would have liked it.” The incident pa «ed from his mind, to be revived two hours later hy the question of a sirang ! caller, who can.e in hurriedly. The sun was setting, and the dentist, re-ting from his day’s work, sat in his tidy reception-room, digesting supper, with the aid of a cigar, and glancing over Hie evening paper in the dimming light. He threw it down, rutlnr Irri’ated by the interruption. "My office hours——” he began. “Do not affect my business,” interrupted tlih oiler gruffly. "I’ve traced a man to this block, have been to every shop and olfiee in the building; It is hardly possible he eould have come in here, hut you may have seen him, sir—a thlckwet, swarthy man, short black hair, heavy black mustache, dark gray suit. Didn’t stick a head in, did lie?” “And who may you be?” Sharley felt no disposition to render information to this brusk personage. The other grinned broadly. “Your pardon, sir, I forgot. It’s a blooming hard chase, I’m on. Chelton, sir, of Addington's Agency, a Liverpool man, formerly a sergeant on the London force; John William Chelton, at your service, sir, and on a fox bunt.” “Ah! a detective.” “Of course. What else? Across the water I've traveled, sure of ni> game, and he’s slipped me nicely. At the custom* they searched him to the skin, and let him go. No blame »o them; they could not detain the chap.” “Smuggler?” “Yes, sir and worse! But that’s to be proved. He’s at the bottom of It. Once 1 lay my bands on biro—but I'm wasting time.” Khariey looked keenly at the blunt face, its anxious, honest lines softened by the twilight. "Perhaps not." be said calmly, “About two hours ago I extracted a tooth for a man answering the description you have given.” “And which way did he go?” “I can’t, tell you, my friend. He went out in a burry. To catch a train .he said.”

Chelton was suddenly alert Two hours ago; no train h‘ft this place at about that time. A tooth. You may be mistaken In the fellow; it's a common description. 1 know I.is teeth; that is. they are while and rood. Let me see that tooth? If it’s of a sort he woudln't have, this clue is of no use.” "It was so well preserved that I disliked to extract It. To be ture, there was a plaster filling, poorly put in. I observed; there must have been quite a cavity. I’m sorry, my friend, but my patient carried it off; at least, 1 can find it nowhere,” Savage and dismayed came a round English oath Sharley sprang tip, touched the switch upon the wall, and the room was flooded with light. His companion wore a look of astonished comprehension. “I'll wager my boots ’twas there he had It.” he grunted. “Where?" the dentist asked. In wonder at this apparent irrelevancy. “In that blarsted tooth.” "What?” the doctor looked bewildered. "Lord Lestershire’s diamond. That’s what! 'Tig a small stone, but the purest In the kingdom, and a family relic. Four thousand pounds they say it’s worth." "Stolen a month since, and passed to Slidwell, the man who has run more than one good stone into this country, and never a trinket found on him.” Dr. Sharley blinked, thinking of the missing molars: of the possibility; of his patient’s opening remark, "Second upper molar, left jaw.” He had thought it strange at the time; rarely do customers locate their aching grinders with professional terms. Verily, those large back teeth might have served queer purposes ere their extraction. "It could be done." he said thoughtfully, “I believe you are right.” Chelton nodded confidently. “Slidwell Is still in the city, I think,” said he. "I'll look for a clean-shaved man and a woman. One's working with him; it's a big risk they’re running and they know that we know. "Every'fence is watched. What will they do with the stone? It will be long before they dare chance disposal. All they fear is to carry a suspicious article. They are not fools. The stone will come out of that tooth. The question Is, where can they hide It?” "In one of the woman’s teeth,” laughed Sharley jokingly. "Now, wouldn't that be a bright Idea? But it is the last thing to think of.” "The first perhaps,” said the detective soberly. He shook the dentist’s hand, handed him his card, and uttered a few words of thanks. A long year afterward, Dr. Sharley, buying dental supplies in a meiropolitant city, dropped in to greet a professional brother. In the hallway a pacing stranger had half-elbowed him and then glanced at him sharply. "Who Is that?” thought the old den list. "No! Chelton’s man wore a mustache and was much stouter. I wonder if he was ever caught. Funny thing, the conclusion we arrived at. Nonsense, it seems now: 1 had nearly forgotten the happening.” His friend left his work to welcome him. ‘TH be with you again shortly,” said he smilingly. ‘Tve one of these T will and 1 won’t’ people to deal with. A woman who swore she wouldn't take gas, and now refuses to have her tooth pulled without it. I don’t blame her; it’s a big second molar. The lady looks hard enough to stand anything, though.” He laughed and retired behind the screen. Sharley listened to the familiar Inhalations, a si range suspicion creeping into his brain. ■'Rubbish!" be told himself. "File is coming out of it slowly; had sonielhiiig to drink before the operation. 1 imagine.” Dr. Cu •>» dime lo where his crony sat, speaking low. "See, Ralph, isn't it a pity to ev traet so good a molar, but no on® knows what mischief may lie under such a wretched tilling?” "Let me see it!" Sharley'* voice was a vibrating murmur. "Hand me one of your sharpest excavators, quick!” He picked for a moment. “Lock your doors, and telephone for the polite.” he whispered warningly. "There is a desperate man outside. Under this cement is a diamond worth at the very bust twenty thousand dollar*. "It'* true, Sam; I know the particulars. Do as I say, and don’t delay a second. When the fun is over. I’ve got to cable to Liverpool. One look, old man to tatisfy yourself, then please hurry!” And Dr. Cusp hurried That short glance was enough.

Relieved An eminent Englishman of scleneq recently delivered a lecture (luritv; which an amusing incident occurred. I In the course cf his remarks he said ! something to this effect; “It Is a well-1 established fact that the sun is gnulu- j ally losing Us heat, and that in the i course of seventy million years its heating power will he so diminished that all benefit-lent effects will be lost, and no life can exist on the earth.” As soon as this sentence was uttered, a sturdy Briton in the rear of the hall arose and signified his desire to ask a question. “Pardon me," he said, "but how long did you say it would lie before this terrible calamity would occur?” "Why, about seventy million years,” repeated the scientist, with a smile. The qu; stiouer fell back into his seat with a deep sigiit of relief. •'Thank heavens!" lie muttered, "I thought 1 understood him to say seven million."

Could Play It An Irishman who had come to New York was met at Ellis Island by his brother Mike. The latter undertook to show l‘at the sights of the big city, pointing out the city hall, Wall street. Trinity and the tall buildings. At length they came to Chinatown. Pointing to a Chinese laundry Mike exclaimed, "Look at this sign, Pat! Sure, an’ ye never saw the like o’ that in Ireland! Can you read it?” “No," replied Pat, "but, begorra, if J had me flute here 1 could play it."

A Double Request The young man entered the president's office and stood first on one foot and then on the other. He dropped his hat, handkerehief, and umbrella. Altogether he was a highly de veloped case of nervousness. ‘'Well, well," said the employer. “Out with U!” ”1 have come, sir,” said the young man, and then began to stammer. "Well, speak up. Have you come to ask for the hand of my daughter or a raise in salary ?" ”lf you air," stammered the young man. 'Tt’a both” Rooster Crews on Egg Boiler.
