A CLEVERLY WORKED GAME. It Netted on Impecunious Russian No bleman a Thousand Pounds Sterling. Tno Easy Manner in Which Count Sacha Got Something For Nothing. Count Sacha Roubletsky was on his beam ends In London. To the world he was still a dashing young noble man, son of an immensely wealthy Russin prince, but in point of fact he was financially at his last gasp. He wanted a thousand or so for nothing. That was the problem he de bated as he sat In his lodging smoking! cigarette after cigarette. At last he rose with a satisfied smile. Next morn Ing Count Sacha called on Messrs. Sparkle & Shine, the well known Bond street jewelers. He explained who he was and that he bad come to select some jewelry for his sweetheart. From the glittering tray he selected a beautiful stone, price ?500. He then; explained that. his remittances being delayed, he was not in a position to complete the purchase at the moment, and, in any case, he wished first to submit the stone to his sweethearts approval. He added suavely that as he was un known to Messrs. Sparkle & Shine he could not expect them to part with the gem without making Inquiries. but they were at liberty to apply to the Russian embassy for any information they desired concerning him. He would return the following day and. everything being satisfactory, take the diamond. To this the jewelers agreed and, in quiring at the Russian embassy, were informed that Count Sacha was un questionably the son of a wealthy1 prince and that they would probably be safe in giving him credit for even! more than the amount mentioned. They did not know at the embassy that Sacha had been disowned by his father, and they were agreeable to the count's own suggestion that a member of the embassy should attend at the jeweler's next day to identify him This was done, and Count Sacha re celved the diamond. The same day he called at a big pawnbroker's and, mentioning airily that he was in tem pozary difliculties. pledged the diamond for the small sum of 50. The next day found Count Scha again at Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's. His sweetheart, he said, was enchant ed with th- diamond, but nothing would satisfy her now but that she; should have another diamond abso lutely matching the first. The jewelers explained that to match such a stone would be a matter of great dif~culty and the price of thee pcond gem would be enormously In creased-in short, fci such a pair of1 twin diamonds they would have to4 charge ?3,000. Count Sacha shrugged his shouldes The price was stiff but het could deny his sweetheart nothing. Would Messrs. Sparkle & Shine please at once set about procuring the secondI The jewelers, being unable to match the diamond themselves, wrote to the leading dealers and pawnbrokers do criing the stone they wanted and ntiang that they were prepared to go as far as ?2,000 for a perfect speci men. Among those they wrote to was1 the pawnbroker with whom Count Sa-! ca had pledged the original diamond. which was just what that Ingenious rascal expe ted. A few days later Count Sacha calledj at the pawnbroker's to redeem his dia-j mond. The pawnbroker had hadi Msss. Sparkle & Shine's letter, andi ~remembeing the beautiful diamond pledged with him a day or two before, he had examined it and found that it met all of Sparkle & Shine's require ments. The count redeemed the stone, and[ then the pawnbroker inquired whether by any chance he would care to sell it.j Oh, no! It was a family helrloomn His customer would not Cream of part-i ng with it. That was a pity, said the pawnbro ker He had cancd to show the dia mond to his wife, and she had taken a violent fancy to it-so much so that he was prepared to give a fancy price. H offered ?S00. Count Sacha laughed and shook his head. One thousand pounds? Oh. no! He really did not want to sell It. An offer of ?1,300, however, made him hes itate. At last, after prolonged chaffer-! ig. Count Sacha passed back the din mond to the pawnbroker and received ?1,500 in exchange- Once outside he jumped into a cab and drove as fast s he could to Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's.I Arrived there, he explined, with zany regrets, that his sweetheart bad changed her mind. She no longer wanted the second diamond. Had the jewelers yet found it? No? Ah, that was well! Still,he fearedhbehad put thmt uch trouble. However, he was glad to say his remittances had arrived and he had now much pleas ure In handing over ?500 In payment fr the original diamond, which his sweetheart had decided to keep.

The so called spider bites received occasionally, and generally in early summer. often in bed. are inflicted by certain blood sucking insects of several species large and small. The mandibles of the average sized spiders are hardly powerful enough to pierce the human skin. and all of the poison contained in an arachnid's glands injected into the flesh of a human bing will not make as much fuss as a respectable bee sting. Moreover. spiders are not mammal bloodsuckers and wouldn't bite if they could. So much for the negative qualities of spiders. If it were not for the spiders we should all promptly starve to death. Perhaps this is a little startling; it is none the less true. To enlarge upon It, certain spiders prey upon certain! caterpillars. regularly inhabit their abodes and kill so many of them that often whole colonies of the insects are wiped eut of existence. These cater pillars normally feed upon the leaves of trees. bushes and shrubs. frequent ly entirely denuding a plant. If they were plentiful enough to exhaust their common food they would turn to the weeds and grasses. Without check of any kind they wouk' overrun the earth and destroy every green and growing thing. The spiders beauti fully preserve the balance of nature. S F. Aaron in Collier's. For indigestion and all stomach trou bles take Foley's Orino Laxative.
