"At all events, the man would not trouble you long with his company it that tin case of yours, with your dia. monds in it, were lying on your dres sing table, as usual," returned her cousin. "I know you'll be murdered through those diamonds, one day!" "Do you really mean that Lady Langley keeps her jewelry on her dress ingtable?" asked Captain L6Marcliant, - an hmpectinious young , man, who was suspected, on very good grounds, of being au mieux with the pretty heiress, and who was, in consequence, rather out of favor with her guardians. "To be sure she does," laughed his hosti "and, as Cecil says, I know we shall wake up some flne morning to find ourselves corpses because of that whim of hers." "What is the use of having jewelry ,if it is always to be at the bankers?" retortedl Lady Langley, - "I wish to goodness you'd be sensi * .ble, Flo,' " remonstrated her cousin, "and have it kept in the plate-room, at all , events. I know that .1I shall do nothing hut dream of your diamonds!" Lady Langley laughed gayly, and seemed to take -a malicious pleasure in keeping the conversation on the same *subject, despite her cousin's very evi dent dislike of it, in which she was as sisted by Captain Le Marchant. who chafled Miss Clifford a great deal about *her nerves,, until the party separated for the night. N ext miorninig 'the 'house was in con fusion, for the d'iamonds were gone!, *Lady 'Langley missed them the nioment she' arose, for,' her nfald being far from well at the time, she had bid - den the- girl not sit up for her, and had undressed herself, leaving her dia mends, which, she had been wearing, loose on her dressing table ;where Cecil Clifford found them when she caine to her cousin's room to bid her 'good-night'as'usual, 'and she put theni in their case, Of .course e 'ery hole and corner was searched4 but in vain. The police haxx1e, but were equally ui-, successful. Not a trace of 'eithier the thieves or ' the jewelry wee 't6 lie found. The police, in9lu4ing. the de tective hastily summoned froin Lon. don, were positive that the robbery hand been comrpitated by some one in the house-conviction that did not add yo the comfort of the inmates'of Lankley Towers, Suspicion ran rioti the house hold servants, one and all, belonged to well-known and respectable fa,licao 4; the neighborhood, and had mostly? been for considerable periods in the Lang lefs" ervtcet whille14vliaitors' ser vantsjt happ,ened;seemed equally a ve suspicion.'

'MWas. Clifford, though still persisting in her.opinion, bore his strictures with gentle patience, laying tile very'evi dent toenper he showed to the account of some money troubles that she, well knew .wore worrying him; but at last he went too far, and ere their inter view on this occasion- termihilated the engagement between ..heih was sum marily broken off by the lady. Captain Le Marchant never took any ps. to, bring al opt "g re bnellation, hichi on her side,' teol Clifford was far too proud to dream of, though what the estrangement cost her she jt\l'only have told. All she knew about him was that he had exdhanged into a regiment stationed in India, and beyond one other fact she heard no mor9 of b4lp till thrO 0o! four years later 'the ,iewsp irs told b that he had joined 'the 'army fn %gypt, and formed one of the' band sent to tho' re lief of qordon and Khartoum. Strangely enough, the one fact that she aid hear privately-namely, his having before leaving 'lEngland) pr9vided for the future of the poor girl who 'had suf'ered so severely from the suspicions that were cast upon her about the lost diamonds-only seemed to render her more incensed against her erstwhile betrothed. Six or seven years had passeg since the burglary of Langley, when, one night, toward the end of the season, Miss Clifford-Miss Clifford still, in spite of her wealth and beauty-at a' dinner found herself being introduced to "Colonel Le Marchant" by her host., who, Ignorant of their previoue ac quaintance, had been actuated by a benevolent desire "to do dear old Denis a good turn" by n4aking him ac quainted with the heiress. The old lovers stood, for a m'noment face to face in slence, scrutinizing one another, the lady secretly, though not a trace of the hard work he had under gone escaped her; the gentleman openly~ He was th.e-flistito Apeakg. "It is long since we met, Miss' Clif ford." "Not long since we wvere together' at Langley, she,replied softly. "Yes, when the diamonds were stolen. I wonder If that business 'wll ever be cleared up?" Just 'then dintier' was announced, and tihe guests filed down "in solemn procession. Although Colonet~ - Marchant escorted Miss Ciffor'd, her' attention was at first claimed by hdr other neighbora, Bu6 wie'n the -Ccn1i versation had' become 4ufilelently ani mated to allow of private conversation, Colonel Le Marohant turned to#~ard her and their eyes tuet , "What a wretched time 'that swas," she said'-softly. "At Langley, do you mean? Yes, indeed, it '*aa. But was it not curious how theyr found these dia mondsl" "Found them! yotg don't say soi"? he e'golaImned gegerly. ' ',5hen?

The myriads of Victims slain in the Jewish sacrifices must have afforded the ain market a copious supply. The scarcity of glass, pottery and earthen ware would, however, cause a constant demand for leither bott'es and drink ing=vessels, and these, by reason of climate, defective manufacture and by -exposure to the fermentation, were very perishable-perhaps even more so than the' brittle vessels 'ot glass and clay. - The shoe-makerS are one 'of the very lowest.oastes in'India.

They drag or carry away the carcass to their own part,or the.town or village, cut it up in.pieceq, . end , distrlbutio it among themuselves. in sufficient pgrtions, and clean the hide and, put it away for sale or'to be'manufactured 'lnto something.
