l How Jack Forbes ! I Was Avenged, | Il BY MAX ADELER. | Everybody agreed that Jack I-Wbeshad not been-treated fairly. Thc squire, tho clergyman, tfte cac kling old Radies at the sewing bee, tho baker; the milkman, tho mem ber? of the Oecilian society, in fact all the prominent people of Bangle* hu ry, admitted that tho treatmen4: which Jack Forbes" had* received from Jenny Brown was thc rough it that had ?vor been inflicted upon ? clever young man by a good look I 'i he wljole story was as follows: ju M av Miss Brown had como to H ilanglebury fresh from a winter's ? ?rayety in thc city, where her par ents lived. IJ, was whispered about H that she was sent to thc sillage to remain with her undo, Judge Bates, B in order to separate her from a youth who had macro a deep impres sion upon her at home. But this was merely a rumor, which seemed io lie denied by tho light hearted ness mid joyous spirits of thc fair maiden. Al any rate it did not deter Mr. B Forbes from falling in love- with her Jg after a very brief acquaintance and H chowing4icr that devoted attention which is the usual method of ex H pressing such a tender passion. Miss Jenny received these little ii. :::oii.-:trations as if she liked them, j and although Forbes never could get his courage quite up to the point of declaration he did not entertain a single doubt of her devotion to B him. Night after night he took her B i<y concerts and lectures and singing schools and sociables, dancing and singing with her and walking home B with her in the moonlight and the starlight, with his heart knocking ut Ins ribs os if it waa bent upon fracturing them and his soul so full of lender fear that he could t?k of nothing but thc most absurdly com B monnlace and pcosy subject*. B OZ course Forbes behaved very I foolishly. Ho could not reasonably expect Miss Brown to parade around B tho. country with him forever with ;B on\ having an-understanding, par I iicv?arly when thc whole .village I talked about the matter, and Forbes B therefore had no light to complain j I when Mr. Dulcitt, the new singing fl iufl?tcr, soon after his arrival in tho I ?$fflu, began te trespass in Forbes' B bailiwick and to engage ?tn unpleas i I anfty Iargp share of Miss Brown's SH time and attention. B Mr. Dulcitt was a-mild young B mah, with light hair and weak eyes, I which were protected by spectacles. ; j ilcliad a roam at Mrs. Megonegal's, B wjiero he used to practice upon the I flute until the other boarders would I rage and tear up and down the en ! tries and consign Dulci w and his I ilute to a place which Lulcitt, we B sincerely hope, will never .?.ach and Irherc a flute under any rircum tanccs would be entirely useless. But Dulcitt's strong point was ocalism. Ho could sing with such remendous power that people won lored how he contrived to get so Teat a volume out of so small' a ody. A rumor spread abroad that ii s legs were hollow and construct d like organ pipes and that he had leilows in his boots. However, he ras a good singer. There was DO runnier of doubt about t*iat, and chen he stood up in front of his lass in tho town hall and led them brough some spirited chorus he reated BO much enthusiasm foi ?imself that. the miserable Mr, forbes cowered in the back j art o? bc room, so angry that be could ?artlly help along the chorus with bat dreadful bass voice of his. But his anger was mero good hu nor at such times to the ferocious age with which he regarded thc add eyed Dulcitt when he descend :d from tho platform and beamed brough his spectacles upon Jenn j 's bc offered her his arm and swepi ier past poor old Forbes without ?ven a glance at his rival. To make natters worse, everybody in tb< ?ass understood the situation, ant ill eyes were turned upon Jack tc see bow he would bear it. Everybody considered Miss Jen ly's conduct highly improper. Tin foung ladies thought so becauBi Mr. Dulcitt had neglected them The young gentlemen ontertainec the opinion because each man hoc * private impression that such be uavior would haye been justitiabli j>nly if Jack had been forsaken fo Ono cold night in December th Oecilian society met to practic some music for a concert which wa |Q bo given daring the holidays Dulcitt and all the members of hi ^ging school were present. Afte the rehearsal Dulcitt an? Mis Brown went away arm in arm, a usual. Forbes decided to bring mai te*? to a crisis that very night; H ^solved to watch the house o Judge Bates until Dulcitt and Mis Brown should part at the front doo Mid then to plunge in and propos to his fair deluder at once. Bte li? *4 next door to tho judge,- and sc putting bi? hat firmly cn his head w?Bua left the hall and dar leo quickl; gSttound through a back street, s "flnat *le m'?>nt rcacn home befor iijB"Qlcitt and Jenny arrived, ?sfl As ho entered the " gate of lu ?2?uont yard and sat down io th ,.i,*B. HnG5? of *'10 P?rch lie sar* thor ?. ??m*nS-8l?wly down the ?tr^ct. Hi ?i*B^0g ran up to him and began to cc P jB^r obout and bark, hut -Tn^v -foro* min to lie down beside him and hoep quiet while his rival approached with his enslaver. They came very deliberately and passed by, conversing in such soft j tones that thc wretched listenci could not understand n word. She reached tho judge's, door. Dulcitt stood and tatted rf or ?while, Forbes meantime shivering with co?d nnd impatient for his departure. But after a littlo parley Dulcitt actually went into the house. Jack Forbes groaned aloud, and then, ofter giv ing his dog a kick that sent him howling away behind the house, Jack cleared the fence at a bound and was iii Judge Bates' garden. The judge had his library room upon tho second floor, and Mr. Forbes had just got beneath the window when the lamp was lighted and Miss Jenny appeared in tho act of removing her bonnet. It was a mean thing to do-a mean tiling even for a desperate lover - but Forbes deviuCu to vl?iiiucr ia Lu LUC ?ree that stood, by tho window so that he might look with his own eyes upon tho perfidy of the woman to whom he had given his love. Aft er a series of difficult gymnastics, during which ho toro his coat and knocked tho skin off his hands, ho reached a place from which he could peer into tho room. Yes, there was Jenny, sitting in front of the fire, and Dulcitt? by her side, with his arm on the back of lier chair, with his glasses turned full upon her and his faded eyes gazing at her just as Jack's used to gaze. Forbes felt his heart pink within him at this spec tacle, but he was determined to sit on that limb all night if it was nec essary in order to sec all that hap pened and to ascertain precisely how matters stood. Hardly had he formed tho resolution when Jenny came to tho window and pulled down the curtain. "It's of no use," said Jack in de spair, and he began to descend the tree, when the door of the house opened, and somebody come out. It was so dark that Jack could only distinguish a figure which he thought resembled that of the judge. The judge walked toward the sta ble, whistling meanwhile to a large dog that accompanied bim. ?Tack nad heard the judge express his de termination to procure a dog ta ; protect that .very stable. Doubtless this was the animal. "But the best thing for mc to do will be to keep quiet until tho judge goes in," said Jack, 'i'o his horror, howeorer, ho saw dimly the figure ol j the dog coming toward the tree, and ? a moment later the animal stood j beneath him, barking loudly. Jack j thought then he should surely bc j discovered. But no, strange to scy the judgo walked slowly baak to the : house and closed the door, leaving his dog under thc tree. After bark ing a'few moments more the brute j lay down and seemed determined j to make a night of it. Mr. Forbes from his cool and lofty perch, re garded the indistinct black figure beneath him with anguish. "Good gracious !" ne said. ''Sup pose the confounded brute shoulc stay there all night!" i Then he thought "he would w.ail until the dog got to sleep and creej gently down without waking him. ? Ten, 15, 20 minutes passed, wi tl Jack blowing thc fingers of om hand while with the other he bal anced lrmself on the limb. He be gan to descend. But at the ver first motion the dog leaped up aa< began barking again. He tried tb experiment, a second time, and jus as the ferocious brute stretehei himself upon tho ground af tey an other demonstration Jack caugh sight of two shadows kissing cad other upon the curtain. Then tb light was. turned out, and present? he heard tho front door open an saw Dulcitt dance along beneath th street lamp as if he were practicin a fandango. ? It occurred to the unfortunat Mr. Forbes to call to him. "Bu no!" ejaculated Forbes. "1 wi! freeze into solid ice first! Hang m if I don't !" And lie stamped on th limb so violently that it roused tb dog, who harked savagely. "Let us try v/hat kindness wi do," said Mr.. Forbes, making tha peculiar noise which resembles th aound of kissing-a noise which i supposed to soothe u dog, but whic cannot bc written. "Poor fellow ! Poor old dog ! Com here, poor fellow!" (Blissing nois again, then a whistle.) But the dog barked more -vocifei ously than ever and pranced aroun the tree as if tl ?.only boon ho wau ed in this lifo was a chanco to bil a chop from Mr. Forbes' leg. "Hero, Pont! Herc, old fellow (Kissing noise again.) "Come her oW dog! Herc, poor fellow! Her Jack!" (Itfbre violent demonstrations ? bloodthirstiness on tho part of tl now frantic animal.') "Herc, Jack, hero! Rats, rai rata! Ketch 'em Jack!" exclaim? Mr. Forbes, with the ingenuity i despair. Hats were not the gan wanted at that moment amoarcnt by "Jack." Meditation upon tl succulency of Mr,. Forbes' calf SCC? ed to have filled him with frons for he capered, and howled ai howled and capered worse than ev( "Lio doivn, sir 1" said Jade, tryii a new plan. "Lie down, sir! l?e quiet! Go home! Go home, I t< you!" And he descended two three feet upon tho tree. This seei cd to make the animal more outi geous, for now ho leaped up t trunk and tried his very best to g even; a nio at Mr. Forbes' hon Dancing all the time as if ho had ber.n wound up and his vocal appa ratus was kept going with a spring. So Jack climbed back to thc most comfortable place ho cou!d lind, rev l?ctantly convinced that ho should have to stay in tho treo until mora ng He scated himself astride of a limb, with his back against the trunk, and put his hands in his pockets to keep them warm. Pres ently tho dog became quiet, and Jack sat there looking up at the stars, which seemed to wink at him through the frosty air os if to say: "Got vou now, old fellow. Nico fix you're? in, isn't it ?" Then ho began to think about trees in general. He thought of William Penn's treaty treo and of the picture fv it he had seen of the proscribed royalist hid in a hollow tree, with a pretty girl giving him food, and he wished Jenny would only come down stairs and hand him something warm and comfortable. He remembered that cheerful anec dote which relates how the coon which wpn treed by Captain Scott of Kentucky promised to come down if thc captain would not shoot, and Mr. Forbes thought what a lucky coon it was to bo ablo to como down when it chose. And there was the old story about Charles II hiding in an oak, with thc soldiers beneath looking for him. Jack thought that lie would rather have a whole hostile army encamped un der that treo of his at the present moment than that infernal dog, which lay there as calm and quiet as if nothing were the matter. Then the stars began to danco about in the sky and to multiply, and Jack caught himself nodding and dreaming so that once he near ly lost his balance and fell. . He had always heard that sleepi ness was a symptom of freezing to death. So he jumped up and began clambering up and down the branch es to keep himself warm. This set tho dog to barking again, and it mado such a fearful racket that at last Judge Bates flung up his win dow ana threw a missile of soma kind at the animal, accompanied with an angry ward or two. Jack could stand ifc no longer. So he cried oat: "Judge! Judge* ?Bates!" "Hollo! Who's Aero?" said the judge nervously. "I-Jack Forbes, I am up this tsec, and I cant get down because of this confounded Sog of yours P* "Of mine? I have no dog," said the judge. "WelU at any rate there's a fero cious dog hare, and I can't get down. I am freezing to death, actually freezing," said Jack pathetically. "Wait a moment until I get dress ed," said the judge, closing the win dow. In five minutes or ten the judge came to the door with ? lantern in his hand, while Mrs. Bates and Jen ny Brown and the three servant girls stood at their respective win dows, wrapped in shawls, surveying the scene with eager and excited in terest. The judge came forward cautious ly and spoke to the dog. It leaped toward him instantly. The judge laughed. "Why, Jack, this is your own dog!" he said. "No; that can't be!" replied Jack. , "But it is, though," said the judge, convulsed with laughter and holding the lantern close to thc brute. It was too true. Forbes, in his nervousness and fear, had mistaken the friendly capers and yelps of the dog for manifestations of ferocity on the part of some other animal. Mr. Forbes slid down from tho tree hastily, but sadly, and while he explained the whole matter frankly to the judge, begging him to say nothing about it, the judge laughed so violently that Mrs. Bates and Jenny Lame running down stairs, thinking he had a hysterical fit. And Mr. Forbes climbed over the fence hurriedly and went shivering to bed without even saying good night to the family. Colored Diamonds. The mention of diamonds makes every one think of a translucent, white gem. But not all diamonds are white. The most beautiful of all precious stones is the red dia mond. It surpasses the ruby in beauty and is exceedingly rare. A few specimens arc on record, ono o? which, weighing ten carats, was bought by thc Emperor Paul o? I?ussia for $100,000. DaTk blue diamonds, differing enly from sapphires in quality and in tho beautiful play of colors pe culiar to the diamond, are handsome gems. Besides the Bismarck and Hope diamonds, there are enly twe known specimens in the world thal eau be properly called blue dia monds. Black and roso colored diamonds arc also rare, while thc groen varieties are :iot so'uncom mon. The grass green ia scarce and when it does occur is more bril liant than the finest emerald. There aro several varieties ol green tinted diamonds at the Muse um of Natural History at Paris but the best known specimen is al Dresden and is considered one oi thc five paragons of its kind. The most, perfect collection oi colored diamonds is in the Museun of Vienna and is in .tho form of t bouquet, the different flowers bein* composed of diamonds of tho sam< colpr as tho blooms represented These stones were collected by om Virgil von Helmrcicher, a Tyrolese who had passed many years in Bra zil among thc diamond mines. ' - ???? ?? - . ? ? ? FROM- THE NATION'S CAPITAL. From Our Own Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27,1001. Sensational information iu regard to American looting in China haa been re ceived at the State Department, but for obvious reasons haa not been niado public. However, there ia no doubt as to the facts, which came out aa a re sult of the attempt* of the Washington authorities to make it appear that American soldiers took no part in tho looting, merely looking on while the other natiooa loaded themselves with ohoice oriental treasures. Of course, anyone who has been with the army in a conquered country known perfectly well that American soldiers are not any freer from looting than any othors, though they are not so rough in their treatment of their foes. It seems that General Chalice, in a letter, which has been published, made a reference to looting, which waa understood to hav? referred tn Lady McDonald, wife of the British Minister to Peking. Two European ministers promptly asserted from their personal knowledge that Lady McDonald had not looted on tho occasion in question, and added: "Wo did, however, witness one scene of looting, which we tried unsuccessfully to prevent. In the palace wo met thc wife of an American diplomat, accom panied by an American curio dealer. We suggested that the reception was exclusively for members of the Diplo matic Corps, but she persisted in tak ing tho curio dealer, whose, expert opinion she wanted upon some of thc Empress1 ornaments. Reaching tho pavilion, tho curio dealer said: 'Herc I am informed the. most valuable porce lain is concealed.' In spite of our pro tests, tho wife of the American diplo mat tried to open a cupboard. Finally sho called an American soldier, who pried tho cupboard open with his bayo net. Not wishing to assist in a scene wo could not prevent, we withdrew." The bankore and syndicates which ran the United States through the He publican party have brought forward a proposition which waa scotched by President Jackson y esta ago-that of founding a United States bank which should enjoy the privileges similar to those allotted to the Bank of England, including those of deposits of Govern ment money without? interest and all that implies. J. Pierpont Morgan ia understood to be che prime mover in tho scheme, which ho some time ago submitted tentatively to Government ollie i al a here. Ho p sop oses to establieh a financial institution strong enough to stand between the Government and the world in caa?of need and to float loans, stop money panics, etc., and shortly after his return from Europe will bring about, it is said, some im portant consolidation of New York banking houses, so aa to form a great central banking concern with some thing liko a thousand million dollars capital. The increase of power given by such a conaolidation will, of coarse, put still greater power in the hands of the Republican party. One who ia familiar wich the great financier's views aaya that it ia Mr. Morgan's am bition to go down ia history as the greatest financial organizer and leader since the days of Alexander Hamilton, and that he wishes to leave his impress not only upon railways and industrial enterprises but upon the government's policies and operations. A good many people would like to know what is behind the recent recru descence of the Panamn Canal in pub lic discussion. Tho Isthmian Canal Commission has reported decidedly iu favor of the Nicaraguan Canal on tho score of time, politics and engineering value, and yet, hard on the heels of this, come a number of important pa pers calling for a new investigation "because the French engineers think the Panama route the best." More over, it is repeatedly assorted in cor respondence from this city-which shows on ita face that it is based on a Bingle statement-that Government officers here have changed their minds as to the advisability of tho Nicaraguan Cannl. As a matter of fact what little discussion is now going on hereabout che canal is all in favor of tho Nicara guan route, not a single high Govern ment officer being found who favors the Panama way. Hence, there is moro than a suspicion that French gold is being used lavishly to induce cer tain influential papera to arouse a sen timent favorable to tho Panama ditch, trusting to smaller sheets to follow the example of the larger ones. It may bo mentioned that tho chief reason why the Nicaraguan routo was favored, and is still favored by the Sonate, is that it and it alono cnn furnish an exclusively American routo-a route that can bo closed to our enemies in case of war, the United States being so bound up by treaties that tho Panama routo will Dave to bo neutral whether or not. A stupendous job lins been uncart lied in tho Interior Department in connec tion with the fruitful source of scan dals-the Indian Bureau. The amaz ing thing is that it has come so near to meccas. For months the Department lias been arranging to throw the Kiowa Indian Reservation in southwestern Oklahoma open to settlement. Ar rangements? have so far proceeded that it waa believed that it would be only a Iuestion of a few weeks until thia was one. Now it turnn oat that the whole matter was conceived in fraud and torn in iniquity. Congress laat winter passed as a rider, smuggled onto an ither Indian bill, an amendment rati fying a treaty said to have been made with the Kiowas for thc surrender of their landa. Thia alleged treaty, it sow seems, was made eight year* ago ind was never assented to by'even ono Lithe of the Indiana, who had been ruaran teed the perpetual possession of their landa by a treaty made in 18G8 .vhich waa never to be rescinded except >y the consent of three-fourths of the ulules males. Nine-tenths of these Have now protested against it and thc proclamation of tho President throw ing open tho landa will be held up until Lhe matter eau be thoroughly investi gated. This is said at tho Interior De partment to have been the most stu pendous job on record, involving ns it loca between two and three million utrea. - Overwork kills fewer mon than ! excessivo leisure. - The late husband catches the carly morning lecture. - Whon ignorance wins intelligence drops away below par. - Deeds show what a man is; words show what he should be. - River beds are supplied with springs- and sheets of water. - The unsuccessful dramatist finds his task all work and no play. - ? The smaller a man's mind is tho longer it takes him to make it up. - The man who hates another bas an ingrowing grudge against himself. - It's easy enough for aman to be satisfied with his lot when it is cer tainly located in a large city. - The host seasoned wood contains, by actual experiment, at oommoo tem perature, about one-tenth of water. , - When a man goes without his dinner to do you a favor plcoe his name at the top of your list of friends. - ? discontented and grumbling woman is as fatal to the peace and happiness of a family as a drunken man. - Whiskey is ono of the rules that declines to work both ways. It, pro I duces headaches, but headaches won't ! produce whiskey. - The human brain, according to Cuvier, is tho one twenty-eighth part of the body ; that of the horse hut one fourth hundredth part. - Anew broom may sweep clean, but in the hands of a woman who has an argument on with her husband un old one is equally effective. - Italy and Spain have the fewest number of houses in proportion to population. The Argentine llepublio I has most with Truguay a close second. I - An old lady, being told that a certain lawyer "was lying at the point ! ef death," exolaieaed: "My gracious! Won't even death stop that man's ly ! ing?" - A west side man in advertising for a situation admits that werk is not ?o much an object as good wages. What he evidently wants is a polit ical job. - Husband-"Ah, my girl when I'm gone you won't get another hus band like me." Wife-"What makes you think I want another like you, George?" - It has been computed by geogra phers that if tho sea were emptied of its water aud all the rivers of the earth were to pour their present floods into the vacant space, allowing nothing for evaporation, 40,000 years would be required to bring the water of the ocean up to its present level.
