"Worth twenty thousand dollars, Mr. . , ir 11 ntt 1 WUal may van juui uouici ooaeu Harold Brewster of the plainly-dressed man seated upon the opposite side of the table. "Oh Smith," responded the man. "Quito a common name, that; but I suppose it will suffice aa well aa any," said Mr. Brewster. "Precisely." . A short interval of silence then elapsed. It is quite evident that the two are studying one another Mr. Brewster be cause he is a stranger, and the latter be cause it ia bis calling. Finally Mr. Brewster broke the silence by asking: "You are a detective?" Smith' acknowledged this by simply bowing. 'And do you think, Mr. Smith, that you can help me to recover the jewels?" "lean trv " 4,So can any one try," quickly inter rupted Mr. Brewster. "Let me finish, please," said Smith. 'When I try I succeed. If you wish my services giro ine some points. Tell me who the diamonds belonged to. Give me some explicit idea as to their form, number, and the like. I cannot work in the dark, and blindfolded Mr. Brewster. "That's a fact. Well, in the first place, the jewels are old family heirlooms They consist of a necklace, eardrops and a pair of bracelets. Ah ! by the-way, I can give you a better idea by these. said Mr. Brewster, taking from a drawer a box. He took the cover off; and there, ensconced among dowuy cotton was oerfect maes of glittering, shimmering jewels. Smith uttered an ejaculation of sur prise as his eyes fell upon the sparkling gems. "You seem surprised, Smith; well, they are pretty fair counterfeits," said Brewster, as be laid the diamonds upon the table. "Counterfeits, did you say?" asked Smith, as he bent lower to examine them. precisely; they are but paste reore- sen tattoos, xney are tne same in size and number as the originals; were made expressly for such an occasion as this. Please examine them closelv.Mr. Smith. for bv these must we recover the origi nals." The detective took the pieces up one by one and examined each closely. He counted the stones; noted the quaint, old fashioned setting, which was intricate, delicate, and a marvel of skilled handi work. "And you say these are 'bogus. " "Yes, sir. If the originals were here you could then compare the two sets." "Who usually wore the real ones?" "My daughter, which was seldom; for she is an invalid and goes in society but little. Poor Lucy I she does not eyen know that the diamonds are missing." .aww. uw si 1 1 v tt v a j v s i ms i Mr. Brewster? - "The two sets are kept in a secret drawer. in my desk at home. The origi nals in a plain white box; these in a blue box, aa you see." "Precisely; go on." "If possible, I would like to recover j the diamonds before my daughter finds out about the matter. You may proceed in your own manner, Mr. Smith; if you succeed in recovering the jewels, and punishing the thief, I shall not hesitate to reward you handsomely." "Of course you will allow me to take these," said Smith, pointing toward the counterfeits. . "Certainlv; they are only paste," said Mr. Brew&ter.ashe laid the bogus jewels back in their downy nest. Smith took the box, rose, buttoned Liu coat and turned to leave, when he suddenly asked as he looked over his shoulder: f "Does your daughter know of the ex istence of these 'bogus' jewels?" "She does." "Jjet me see you have a son!" asked Mr. Smith. "I have." 'Is he a member of the firm?" "No sir." "What does he do?" "Sir, my son is a gentleman of leisure." "That's all ; good-night," and the door closed behind the officer's form. Jack Smith was one of the best men on the force. He was sharp, cunning, and knew not the meaning of the word fear. As he wended his way from Harold Brewster's office he began to cogitate, to wonder if there was no possible light ahead concerning the case in hand. Juat as he was about to pass a jewelry store a sudden thought illuminated his mind. He stepped in, and showing the "bogus" diamonds to the proprietor, asked him one question. When Jack Smith emerged from the door a strange look was upon his face, and he hugged the box more closely to his breast as he threaded the great Broadway throng. Fred. Brewster was one of tliose gay, petted darlings of society, of which New York has a surfeit. He toiled not, neither did he spin, vet no one of the fashiona ble et in which ho moved had finer rai ment nor spent money more lavishly. Perhaps if Fred had had some aim in life, bis lot would not have been as vapid as it is. But, as the case now stands, he ' is rapidly going to the dogs. He knows 'it, and his boon companions- know it; bat he cared as little for his mistaken career as they did. He was petted by bis mother and sister, and his father con doled bis many foibles' by sayng: "Let the boy sow his wild oats; he'll gttl down Boon nougb." The young man gambled; was a fre quenter of sporting circles of every de scription, and did ot disdain to bet hun dreds of dollars on a brutal prize-ring affair. Upon the evening following the interview between Harold Brewster and the detective, while Fred was in one of the noted gambling resorts on street, he found that a plainly-dressed man of middle age was watching him closely. , - It troubled him exceedingly, and made him careless in his play. The conse quence was whan he rose from the game he found that he had'lost five hundred dollars. He went to the bar and called for brandy. After drinking it he took his departure. The middle-aged man who had watched him so closely was at his heels. "Look here, stranger,' said Fred, turning to the other when the pair had reached the walk, "am 'I such an objeot of curiosity that you vtasi needs keop your eyes upon me?" "Be calm, Mr. Fred Brewster. I ar rest you in the name of the law," said Jack Smith; for ho it was in many of his disguises. "My Oodl Arrest me? For what?" gasped the young man, starting back. "No matter; cojne with me," simply returned Smith. The young man saw now that it would be utterly out of the question to offer re sistance, and so accompanied the officer. The pair passed into Broadway, and after reaching and passing through Bond street, went down the Bowery. A straDge expression of fear came upon Fred Brewster's face when the officer told him to step into a pawnshop with him, near Canal street crossing. "The ticket, please," said Smith. Fred trembled in every limb; his face was the picture of abject despair. "What what do you mean?" he ejac ulated. "The pawn-ticket for the diamonds," whispered the detective. Fred took his pocket-book out, and, extracting the slip of paper from .its con tents, passed it to Smith. "Now. friend Jacob. I'll take that lot of diamonds in the white box. please, said Smith, handing the ticket to the Jew behind the counter. "Yes, mine frent, but I must haf mine monish. Twenty-five tollar, and fife for te use ol te monisn returned me jew. Smith handed him the required amount and took the diamonds. After the pair had reached the street, the detective said to the thoroughly as tonished young man:' "Now, my young man, let me give you a piece of advice; mend your ways; change your manner of living, and be a man for your mother's sake." "And am I at liberty?" asked Fred, as the other turned to leave. "You are; go and do the right thing hereafter. But recollect there's one man who knows of your crimes, and will not hesitate to use this incident against you if you ever give him occasion. The next day, while Harold Brewster was seated in his office, he was startled by the appearance of Smith, the detec tive. "Ah, Smith, I see by your face that you have succeeded. "1 have; there are your diamonds, said the detective, laying the two boxes upon the table. "I am so happy! Are they not beau ties?" asked Mr. Brewster, lifting the jewels from the white box. "They are fair," responded. Smith, r smiling. "Fair! What do you mean? They are worth twenty thousand dollars. Compare them with these," said Brew 8ter.-takinir the jewels from the blue box. "Suppose you tell me whioh are the originals, the genuine ones," said Smith. Mr. Brewster looked up quiekly add "What do you mean?" "Simply this. Mr. Brewster the real diamonds have not been stoles at all." "Eh? not stolen! I blesa my soul! What do you mean, man?" "It is the truth, Mr. Brewster. The boxes must have got changed, or rather the contents. You- gave me the real diamonds, and I have recovered the bogus ones." The listener was so thoroughly astonished that he could not speak at first. Finally he added; "How did you leara of it?" Smith then told the astonished mer chant how he bad stepped into a jewelry store and asked the proprietor to examine the jewels and tell him their value. He also told Mr. Brewster how he had found the paste gems in a Bowery pawn shop. "And did you not captnro the thief? asked Brewster. "Don't press that part of the case, Mr. Brewster, please. I guess he has had a lesson." After receiving remuneration for his services the detective took his departure. Mr. Brewster never questioned his son because of his changed manner of living, but he imagined he knew the reason of Fred's change for the better. Standard Tjme. There is no more vexatious incident of travel in this country than the confusion which prevails regarding standards of time. A man leaves home with his watch correctly set, only to find that a railroad ride of a few hours has made it ten or fifteen minutes out of the Way. If he ad justs it to this new standard, it may serve for a number of hours, or a .change of railroads may require another move of the minute hand within a short time. In studying a railroad guide to plan a long journey, careful attention must be paid to the times used by the various lines, and even the experienced traveler will sometimes be puzzled at finding what he is sure must be a through train appar ently leaving a city before it has arrived. It would be hard to exaggerate the con fusion and inconvenience caused by these different standards, numbering as they do over fifty for the railroad" system of the country. The ideal method of avoiding such dif ficulties is that adopted by England a generation ago, which makes Greenwioh time the standard for the whole country. But such a scheme would be obviously impracticable in a nation of such vast territory as the United States, with the sun xeaphing the meridian on its eastern coast when it is not yet nine o'clock in the forenoon on the Pacific slope. A great improve ment, however, would be effected if the country could be divided into several parts, with one time stamlard governing each of them. Students of the problem have generally agreed that this is the only eatibfactory solution, and there is good reason to hope that it will be reached at no very distant day. The railroads are,.of cottrae, most interested in the que&t'on, and the change will come, if it does come, through their united action. The subject has been discussed for years at raillvay time con ventions, and a comprehensive sehemeis to come before sQch a convention at Chicago this week. It is proposed that all roads in the eastern part of the coun try, which are now run by the local times of New York, Boston, Washington, and a dozen other cities, shall be gov erned by the seventy fifth meridian, or Eastern time, whioh is four minutes slower than New York time. There will be no change until the traveler westward reaches a road which now uses the time of Columbus, O., when he will enter the district of Central, or ninetieth meridian time, which will be just one hour slower than Eastern time. This is to oover the wide region extending to Omaha, Neb., and will supplant the local time of all the chief Western cities. The next change will be one hour earlier, and will take in the great plains east of tne Rock ies; and the fourth district, with time one hour earlier still, will comprise the Pacific coast. The scheme is entirely feasible, and there ought to be no question about its adoption. It happily avoids exciting lo cal jealousies by taking the noon of the seventy fifth meridian as the standard for eastern time.instead of the Yew York noon, which comes four minutes later, while there is the added advantage of a difference of exactly five hours between this and Greenwich time, upon which ocean vessels must depend. It is ex peoted that the time balls in all cities will drop at noon according to the stand ard for their districts. This will make noon by the clock come in some places a full half hour earlier and in others as much later than now, but when once each community becomes accustomed to the new standard, there will be no incon venience worth considering from the change. On the other hand, there will be the immense advantage that when it is noon in the eastern district, it is 11 o'clock throughout the central district,10 o c'ock all over the plains, and U o clock on the Paoihc slope. Several New England railroads have already adopted the system, and have just begun running on time tables which make noon at the seventy-fifth merid ian their standard. Other roads in the same section are ready to follow suit, provided the time ball at Cambridge, which now governs Boston time, drops at noon of the seventy-fifth meridian, whioh would be sixteen . minutes later than it is now. The example ought to prove contagious, and unless nnforseen obstacles are encountered the system should speedily spread all over the country. Brooklyn Union. Taking Care of the Hair. The care of the hair was the subject of a paper read to the Pennsylvanian State Medical society by Dr. Shoemaker, His opinion is that the stiff hats so exten sively worn by men, produce more or less injury. The forms oi hats that are least injurious are for winter, soft hats of light weight, having an open structure or pierced with numerous holes; for summer, light straws, also of open struc ture. As regards the head covering of women, the fashions have been for sev eral years favorable to proper form. The bonnet and hat have become quite small, and cover but little of the head. This beneficial condition, however, is in part counterbalanced by the weight of false cnrls, switches, puffs, etc., by the aid of "which the women dress the head In applying water to the scalp and beard care should be taken not to use soap wa ter too frequently, as it often causes irri tation of the glands and leads to the for mation of scurf.. It is equally import ant to avoid using on the head the daily shower bath, which by its sudden, rapid, and heavy fall, excites local irritation, and. as a result, loss of hair quickly fol lows. In case the health demands the shower bath, the hair should be protected by a bathing cap. . After washing, the hair should be briskly rubbed with rough towels, the Turkish towel heated being particularly serviceable. Oil has not only a cleansing action upon the scalp, but it also overcomes any rough or uneven state of the hair. Fet Names at Home and Abroad. Far from disliking pet names in the nursery or in the retirement of the fam ily, they seem to us very fit and beauti ful there, but there they should be kept. Outside acquaintances have no right to call a young girl Sis, or Pussy, or Birdie, or Pearl, or any other pretty or affectionate name which may be given her by her father or mother, brothers snd sisters. Wives, too. seem lacking in the rever ence which all true women and high bred ladies show to their lords, when they tfpeak of them in society as Ned, Tom or Dick. Nor does a husband pay his wife the honor which every gentle man should, when he alludes to her in a room full of strangers or acquaintances as Polly or Fan. It is very much better to be found too formal than too free and easy; and society is the gainer wherever people are on their guard about these seeming trifles. It is in the power of a few women in any community, to elevate the tone of the place, and to make good manners fashionable, by simply setting an exam ple of careful attention to them in their own practice, and exacting the same from their own families. Educated to Marry. In a tete-a-tete conversation with Mrs. Hall, on the subject of some young ladies who had been suddenly bereft of for tune. Lady Morgan said, with an em phatic wave of her dear old green fan: "They do everything that is fashionable imperfectly; their singing and drawing and danoing amount to nothing. They were educated to marry, and, had there been time, they might have gone off with, and hereafter from, husbands. They cannot earn their own salt; they do not even know bow to dress themselves. I desire to give every girl, no matter her rank, a trade a profession, if that word pleases you better; cultivate all things in moderation, but one thing to perfec tion, no matter what it is, for which she has a talent. Give her a Btaff to lay hold of; let her feel, "This will carrv me through life withont dependence.' " A Pretty Powerful Prater. The first stationed Methodist minist r in Troy, Ala., was the Rev. Mr. Kelley, wno nau charge oi the church there in 1857. There was in the town a ten-pin alley, which was a great nuisance to the religious and moral portion of the com munity, and the Kev. Mr. Kellev de sired very much to have it abated. He was a very gifted and earnest man in prayer; so, one Sabbath morning, he prayed most fervently and devoutly that the Lord would send a wind to blow the ten-pin alley down. Wednesday after noon following a wind came and did blow down the house whioh contained the alley and immediately ceased, doing no other damage. There hs not been a ten-pin alley in the place since then. This is an actual fact, which came under the observation of the writer, and which will be verified by any of the citizens of the place who resided there then and still survive. Montgomery (Ala.)

The coming question: If a man puts a three-cent stamp Ih the contribution box after October 1st will he get credit in heaven for three or two cents? The average, man is supposed to lose six cuff buttons per year, and he is just mean enough not to throw away the odd ones so that the finder can make out a pair. Another vexatious delay is threatened in the Keely motor affair. The fuel to be used is water, and Mr. Keely has just discovered that water won t burn worm a cent. On the Rue St. Lazare, the other day, a chair was seen on which lay a hat with the following notice: "Please don't for get the poorbeggar,vwho is just taking his breakfast." Railroads in Massachusetts, according to a correspondent, carry no water for the benefit of travelers. But some of the roads use a great deal of the fluid in diluting their stock. A health journal advises, "Do not lie on the left side." This is a very proper admonition. If you are obliged to lie, be careful to lie on the right side. You will find it pays in the end. Chief Charles, a red man, does not want to go on the reservation. What he does want is to go to 'Washington and have a talk. Charles has about him all the elements of a congressman. "Mrs. Miffin," said a visitor, "Emma has your features, but I think she's got her father's hair." "Oh, now I see," said the dear little Emma, "it's because I've got papa's hair that he has to wear a wig !
