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.) National
