A CLEVERLY WORKED GAME. It Netted an Impecunious Russian No bleman a Thousand Pounds Sterling. Tne Easy Manner In Which Count Sacha Got Something For Nothing. Count Sacha Roubletsky was on his I beam ends in London. To the world he was still a dashing young noble man, son of an Immensely wealthy Russian 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 hated as he sat in his lodging smoking cigarette after cigarette. At last he i rose with . 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 had come to select some jewelry for his sweetheart. From the glittering tray he selected a beautiful stone, price 150. 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 sweetheart's 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 Rtssi-a 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 qulring at the Russian embassy, were Informed that Count Sacha was un questionably the son of a wealthy 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 be called at a big pawnbroker's and, mentioning airily that he was in tem porary difficulties, pledged the diamond for the small sum of 50. The next day found Count Sacha again at Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's.! His sweetheart, he said, was enchant ed with the~ 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 difculty and the price of the second gem would be enormously In creased-in short, for such a pair of; twin diamonds they would have to. charge ?3.000. Count Sacha shrugged I his shoulders. The price was stiff, but he could deny his sweetheart nothing. Would Messrs. Sparkle & Shine please at once set about procuring the second diamond? The jewelers, being unable to match the damnd themselves, wrote to the leading deale and pawnbrokers de scribing the stone they wanted and ntimatin that they were prepared to go as far as ?2,000 for a perfect speci men. Among those they wrote to was the pawnbroker with whom Count Sa-! ha had pledged the original diamond,' which was just what that ingenious rscal expected. A few days later Count Sacha called at the pawnbroker's to redeem his dia mond. The pawnbroker had had Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's letter. and,~ remembering the beautiful diamond pledged with him a day or two before, he had examied 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 iti Oh, no! It was a family helrloom4 is customer would not dream of part ng wth t That was a pity, said the pawnbro ker He had chanced to show the dia mond to his wife, and she had taken a iolent fancy to it-so much so that he was prepared to give a fancy price. e offered ?800. Count Sacha laughed and shook his ad. One thousand pounds?- Oh, no! e really did not want to sell it An ffer of EL300, however, made him hes ate. At last, after prolonged chaffer ug, Count Sacha passed back the dia nd to the pawnbroker and received 1,500 In exchange. Once outside he umped Into a cab and drove as fast as he could to Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's. Arrived there, he explained, with many regrets, that his sweetheart bad hanged her mind. She no longer wanted the second diamond. Had the jwelers yet found it? No? Ah, that was well! Still, he feared he had put hem to much trouble. However, he was glad to say his remittances had arrived and he had now much pleas ore In handing over ?500 in payment or the origial diamond, which his weetheart had decided to keep.

GOOD IN SPIDERS. They Dor:'t Bite and Do Kill Many in jurious Insects. I think it can be said that there never has been one absolutely nuthen tic case of spider bite. 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 wil! 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 out 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 cheek of any kind they would 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.
