Now, it so happened that the artist who had painted the portrait of the lady mentioned had occasion to travel In India. In the course of his wanderings he came to Bombay and, as every visitor to that place does, strolled through the native bazaar. Suddenly his attention was riveted by a piece of jewelry In a jeweler's shop .that seemed familiar to him. It was a diamond and ruby pendant Where had he seen it before? He ran acked his brain, but could not remem ber. He returned to his hotel and hap pened to take from his portfolio a sketch of the portrait he had made years ago of the lady with the pendant. In a moment the enigma was solved. The piece of jewelry he had seen was the peculiar pendant that his fair sitter Iad been so anxious he should include in his portrait. He hurried off to the chief of police, and told that worthy what he suspect ed, namely, that the bazaar he had vis ited contained the long lost jewel of the English lady. Inquiries were at once set on foot with extraordinary re uits. The jeweler In the bazaar con fessed to having given years ago uite insignificant sum for the jewel which he had bought from a stableman In the employ of a neighboring rajah. Zhe stableman was sought for, and turned out to be none other than a fa moos English eracksmas who had ap parenutly turned honest, but who, nevertheless, confessed to having been the thief of the jewel that had been so milraculously discovered.--Pea~rson's Weekly.___ ___ CARE OF LACES. Iran lace on the right side first, then n the wrong side to throw up the pat ter. When putting lace away, fold as little as possible. A good plan is to wind It4 rond a card, as they do in the shops. Wlies Ironing laces, cover them with leE.n, white tissue paper. This pre Tents the shiny look seen on washed lace Use corndiour Instead of ordinary staih for stiffening lages. This makes them firm and does not detract from the lacy appearance. Laces and other delicate trifles should 'be placed In a mushan bag before being. boiLed. This prevents their getting lost and torn in the wash. Ater "getting up" laces do not leave them to air In a damp place-round < the fire when the kettle Is boiling, for nstance. This robs them of their fresh eis and makes them look limp. All laces before being Ironed should be carefully pulled out, each point re elving attention. You will be repaid for your trouble, as the lace will look twice as nice and last clean a much longer time. Too suggestive. i An English clergyman bad maied a young woman with a reputed dowry 1 of about ?10,000. while be himself had "great expectations." Needless to say, every soul In the village knew about it. t was the first Sunday after their re turn from the honeymoon. and when Ssermon was finished the parson proceeded, as usual, to gIve out the hymn, verse for verse, to his rustic ongregation.

PAINTINGS THAT HAVE DONE THE }WORK OF DETECTIVES. - Instanees Where the Canvals of an Artist Has Led to the Confession et a Crimina3-A Portrait and a stolen Diamond Pendant. An artis who had suddenly become almost famous by his production of a painting exhibited at the Royal acad emy was one day called upon by a man whose visit was productive of the most extraordinary and undreamt of e consequences. ' The picture represented a lonely stretch of beach, upon which the sea Swas beating in long, creamy roilers. In the foreground, bending over a dead body, was a man with a wild expres [ slon on his face and with a naked ,knife in his hand. A ship's boat, evi a dently just beached, was also in the ipicture, and by the side of the mur dered man was abag of gold. The pic ture portrayed the advent of two cast aways upon a friendly shore. The one 'had murdered the other so that the treasure might be his. The painter's visitor was a gray hair ed, wild eyed man. - . "In heaven's name, sir," he gasped out, "how did you learn the dreadful story that you painted? I see you know all. I murdered my mate Bill to get the money that was his. I threw his body into the sea. I don't know what impulse led me to the Academy. The first thing I saw was your picture rep Iresenting the scene that tock place 80 years ago." Needless to say, the picture had been the outcome of imagination. Yet mur der will out, and the guilty conscience of the man who had killed his comrade for lust of gold had convinced him that the painting was no coincidence, but was indeed the actual portrayal of a dastardly and unwitnessed crime. There is probably no picture better known in England than "The Doctor." tby Mdr. Luke F'ildes, yet there are prob ably very few people aware of the fact thai, that selfsame masterpiece was the means of bringing to light the per petration of a crime that would other wise never have been known. A certain doctor in a large town com mitted suicide, and among his paepers was a letter which ran as follows: "I have today seen Luke Fildes' 'Doctor.' The picture represents a medical man -watching by the bedside of a child. It has so haunted me that I am going to take away my own worthless life and make a confession at the same time. When Arthur's"-his brother's--"boy died, I came into money that my dead brother had settled on him. He died as all the world thought of acute pneu monia. Yet his life might have been Ssaved had I acted, as Flldes''Doctor' is so evidently doing, with the use of all Sthe skill that lay in my power. I bas tened the boy's end and so got the money. I can bear it no more." A well known artist was commison ed to paint the portrait of a lady in ex slted circles, who boasted the pos-ses Ssion of a most unique jewel in the form of a pendant. The lady was very anxious that this heirloom should be included in her portrait The artist. of rcourse, complied with her request Shortly after the painting had been Scompleted a daring burglary was per Spetrated, with the result that the lady r lost her heirloom, and no trace of the +hiat or thiea wna fnethcomnm. :Cases and ses.

Any one who has or'e followed a raveling elephant will not show any mdue haste to repeat the amusement.

Fields of Salt. At Salton, in southern California, ex st a basin of land between 200 and 00 feet below sea leveL. About 1,000 Leres of the depressed area are cov bred with a deposit of salt, which C. F. loden describes in The Scientific Linerican as one of the sights of Call ornia. The salt is first thrown into idges by a peculiarly shaped plow, Irawn by a dummy engine with ca >les, and then is piled into conical eaps before being carried to the dry ng house and crushing mill.' The ex anse looks like a field of snow. About 1,000 tons of salt are removed each rear, but the supply is perennially re iewed by the deposits of salt springs hich flow into the basin. In June the emperature of the air reaches 150 de gees, and only Indian workmen can vithstand the heat and glare. Tiger's Make Believe Eyes. Mr. Beddard of the London Zoologi al society calls attention to a pecul arity of the ears of tigers which he inks may be classed under the head if "protective markings." On thle back f each ear is a very bright white spot, mnd when the ears are directed for yard these spots are conspicuous from he front. Mir. Beddard suggests that vhen the tiger Is sleeping in the dim ight of a cave or thicket the spots on ts ears may appear to an enemy, look ng in, as the gleam of Its watchful yes and thus save the sleeper from an mexpected attack.

"Well, you see that right hand? It looks pretty good and strong and it is, biut for about three days once it was deader than a frostbitten tomato plaant.. "You know of course that I used to make my living playing cards, chiefly dealing bank. There wasn't a day I didn't deal bank or in other games six to eight hours a day. Many a time I have dealt or played longer. . "One night I was dealing bank. It was a good, big game. All at once when I went to slip a card this old right refused to work. I looked at it and the fingers were kind of twisted inward and the hand from the wrist was bent downward. "This stopped the deal for me, and I I told the lookout 'to get busy,' for tne 1 players were getting a little 'queered.' He took my place, and I watched the bets. "I rubbed my right, but it wouldn't1 straighten out and it kept this way until the next day, and then I went to a. doctor. He didn't know me as well as you do, but the first question he asked was: "'Deal cards a great deal, don't you?'t "'Yes.' "'Do you deal with an elboWv move-e ment or with finger and wrist move ment?" "'Why, I don't work my elbow.' 1 "'That explains it. You have card players' paralysis.'t "This hit me center, and I showed it, but the doctor was good and said: "'Now, don't get flurried.- I'll straighten you up. Just quit dealing awhile, and I'll give your hand a few I doses of electricity, and you'll be alle rght. "He did it, and in about three days my hand was straight as a string. But I haven't dealt so much since. There's4 many an old timer whose dealing hand has quit him. And you say you were never paralyzed?" "No." "Well, you ain't played cards much." -Louisville Times.
