A whole set, sure—ueckjaoe, ear-rings and brace lets, to say nothing, of ornaments for the hair, And madame did look for all the world like a queen when she wore them “Let me see, the last time she had them on was at the grand ball giVen in honor of Master Anoel’s twenty-first birthday. He was her only child, you know, and heir to the big property. He was the very apple of her eye, you cap better believe, and had been watched over like a prince of the Mood. He had been educated at Eton or Oxford, or some other of those places, and a finer young man it would be hard to find—al ways pleasant spoken to everybody, in spite of his pride and dignity. “He was very fond of Miss Ethel I haven’t told you about her, have I? She was a distant relative of the family. Her father, Guy Seyne, had been an artist and had gone away to France, and had there married a girl who had nothin but- a pretty face and an aristocrati name, for her ancestors—the most oi them—had lost everything, even their lives, in that awful fuss they had over there in France—I mean when they cat off the heads of the king and the poor, pretty qneem,, . ... v “Gny and his wife managed to get along somehow; but, as ill-luck would have it, both were taken siok and dii d, and when on hia death-bed he sent ^ letter to madame, who was his favorite cousin, begging her to take care of his daughter. “It seems he had put the child in a school ealled a pension in France, and she could stay there until her education was finished; then lie wanted her brought to Cedarcroft And madame, who was, I most say, as generous as sun shine, was perfectly willing to do as her poor cousin asked. “Miss Ethel was only seventeen when she,came to us, but such a mere slip of a girl that you would have thought her younger. Childish in her manners, too, but very graceful and a perfect lady, from the crown of her shining, chestnut hair to the tip of her dainty feet “Handsome? Weu, one wouldn’t be likely to say #0 at first, lot her face was so small and brown; but when she began talking, or got interested in anything, my! a color as rich ss a damask rose crept into her cheeks, her pretty, white teeth peeped out fiom between her red lips, and bar big brown eyes sparkled “Not a solitary sapphire sparkled its white-satin lining. “ ‘Oh, ma’am I’ I screamed out, for I was dreadfully- startled; ‘however J3d you b’pose the thieves got in?

I’m sure she’s taken the sapphires 1’ , “And in spite of what everybody said, she still stuck to this belief, and before» Master Anoel came back to hinder her, she had sent for detectives to find Mis<- Ethel. who had gone, nobody knew where. “But, my stars ! I never saw a mad der man than young Master Anoel when ho returned and found out what had happened! 7— “He was just as fiery-tempered n> l) s mother, only his was burned t< white-heat instead of being only piping red I ' • “He told madame that if she didn’t dismiss the detectives he would leav. Cedarcroft and she should never look ttpen his face again, und he fairly scared - ';er into quietness. “Of course, his next business was to find out the real thief. He questioned and cross-questioned every one of the servants, but ho couldn’t find out any thing that pointed to the guilty party. “ ‘There’s some mystery aboth t‘. Martha,’ he said to me, one day, ‘and 1 mean to find it out, even if it takes all my life 1 Poor Ethel I I wonder where she is? I’d stake my soul on her iuno- cence!’ “And he brooded over the matter s« much that he grew pale and haggard and his mother got real wonftd about him. To tell the truth madamq herself was half-sick about it, and had begun to repent that she had been so hasty. “And now that Miss Ethel, who, with her bright smile and merry laugh, was gone, Cedarcroft was anything but a pleasant place.. It was so dismal day times and had such strange noises nights, that the servants really began to think tho house wss haunted. “One night, as I lay awake listening to tho rain-drops pattering on the ro jf, there came a gentle tap at the door. “Thinking that it wjjf Mary Jane, the house-maid, who had be&h pestered of late witti an awful tooth, and who had now, perhaps, come for some cre osote, I hurried out of bed and opened the door. “There stood Master Anoel, his face pale and excited. “‘Hash, MarthaT he whispered: ‘don’t make any noise. Slip on your dress quickly and follow me. I think I have found the thief who dtole the sap phires!’ “Hardly knowing whether I was awake or dreaming, I did as he bad* me, and then followed him down the long hall to the end where tha door to the garret “ ‘We must go up the stain,’ he whis pered.

Borne days ago a well-dressed man, ap parently in. the prime of life, entered the office of the poormaster and said he was siok and deaired, if possible, to obtain a ticket to the genera] hospital Clerk Arnold, seeing that he wm a stranger and apparently in better circnmstances than the alas* of individuals who usually make such applications, expressed regret at not being able to grant the request, ss all parties receiving snob assistance must be residents of the city and oome recommended by a ratepayer. The stranger admitted that he wm not a resi dent having only reached Buffalo that morning from Rochester. He wished it understood, however, that he had seen letter days and that he made the appli cation in good faith. After some farther conversation Clerk Arnold took him to the PoonoMter’s room and intro duced him to Mr. Kraft, who qnestioned him closely, as he does all applicants for ussistanoe. With his nsual good-heart- edneas, Mr. Kraft hated to refuse a re spectable person driven by the force of circumstances to seek public charity, bnt he did not know how he wm to get over the role which requires all applicants for admission to the general hospital to be residents of the city. After puzzling over the matter for several ruinates he again began to question the stranger and finally asked him what hia name was. The stranger then replied, laugh ingly: “My name is Thompson. 1 arrived this morning from Rochester. When at home I am Poonnastsr of that city, and being on business in Baffal >, I thought I would call and see you.” A hearty laugh greeted the redial, and cur worthy Poormaster, relieved from an .‘tnbarrassing situation, enjoyed the joke imazingly. Mr. Thompson was then in- r id need to the offldalaand after a pleae- uit nftornoon chat returned home.
