Editor. The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. MR CURTIS POSITION HAS NOT ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY For SENATOR Is Running for Congress-- Friends Boom Him for Senator--Secret of His Power. The Hiawatha World prints the following: "It must borne in mind that Congressman Charles Curtis has at no time announced his candidacy for the Senate. "It is his almost cauntless friends who are booming him for that office. "It is his genuine, enthusiastic friends who are looking forward to landing him in the Senate. "Mr. Curtis has said when asked about the matter that he is a candidate for Congress. He is a candidate for re-nomination and so far we haven't heard a dissenting voice in the First district. "With the Congression district convention over it is quite probable that the Congressman's friends will turn themselves loose and will put in some good work to elect representatives to the Legislature who will vote for Congressman Curtis for Senator. "His Brown county friends are determined to do that- there is no talk of doing anything else. A candidate for the Legislature who doesn't declare himself openly for Curtis will not get votes enough for a place on the t al l y sheet. HON CHAS. CURTIS WHO WANT, TO BE RETURNED TO CONGRESS, HON CHAS. CURTIS WHO WANT, TO BE RETURNED TO CONGRESS, "So Mr. Curtis occupies the very flattering position of being the unanimous choice of the First District for Congress and at the same time throughout his district and state is the most talked of and the most popular of the several notables who are mentioned to succeed Senator Harris, the Fusionist Senator from Kansas, who will have to make way for a Republican successor. "The analysis of Mr. Curtis's popularity is simple. He is a wide awake Congressman." "Here's a little illustration. Last Congress he tried to secure $50 a month for rural delivery mail carriers, but his amendment was voted down. Friday the matter came up again and Mr. Curtis again spoke for $50 a month for carriers or more they certainly earned. The opposition to the increase was strong, including no less a personage than the chairman of the postal committee, Congressman Loud, and his following. On the floor Mr. Loud and Mr. Curtis crossed swords and in in thrust and parry the Kansas man was skillful. "The majority were with him this time and the increase carried "But he isn't done. After while he is pretty sure to ask at least $60 a month for t the carriers, because they deserve it. 'Now Mr. Curtis isn't a place getter in the narrow sense and he isn't inclined to waste the public revenues. But he does believe in clean, deserving men in office, with men's pay for services rendered. In his department work he is specially active and effective, being of very great use to the many who have claims upon him. And he never asks a man's pol State / State tics or considers what faction he represents. He just helps everybody because he likes to do the right thing by all comers. Mr. Curtis has a cheerful, kind way that is sure. He is ever bad tempered, yet it comers with tact and patience Year in year out he meets thousand of his constituents and wins their regard by his unassuming cordiality. He is a remarkably good speaker. But a good speaker in Congress is not enough. A good work counts for more although a man who can speak and work both is certain to become a prominent figure in Congress. Mr. Curtis is now the senior member of the Kansas delegation in the number of years he has served the people, and no Kansas member of the Kansas delegation has ever attracted more favorable recognition for good work, for saving and doing the right thing at the right time. 'As a member of the Indian committee he has secured the passage of laws that are of great-value to the Indians and the people of Kansas and adjoining states and of the Indian territory. "Hon. Dennis Flynn, representative in Congress for the Territory, says that Mr. Curtis' work has advanced the interests of all concerned in this one regard more than has been accomplished by all previous legislation within twenty-five years. "In Brown county the $20,000 or more spent for the benefit of the Indians is the result of Mr. Curtis interest in them. "If he had done nothing else than serve the people of Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian territory as a member of the committee of Indian affairs as well as he has, his usefulness would be established, but he has done more. He is a member of other important committees, he has secured pensions, offical places- he made countless successful visits to the departments in behalf of his constituents, he has framed important debates, especially when his country and party are to be defended. And because he has done well he should be returned to Congress. "If later on he can be a well deserved promotion, but the Senatorial matter isn't before the house. "His friends will see about that later on." E.x. Hon. A, F, Williams Candidate for Representative 38th Dist. PETER H. HON, A, F, WILLIAMS. The above represents one of Kansas' brighest young men, Hon Archie Williams who was reered in the city of Topeka. Virtually a Shawnee county boy. He is worthy of the honor he seeks. He will make an able representative in the legislature. The primaries are fixed for March 8th '02 and Mr. Archie Williams will be there. In the contest for councilman in 5th ward, it will be remembered that the Hon, Mr S T Howe is in the tace also we hear that Mr, D, C, Hewitt the contractor is in the field. Now these gentlemen are all right the same we have said else where of Mr, A. P. Roundtree. We hope the voters will kindly serve them right. MISSCELLANEOUS ADS P. M.

VOL. 9 NO. 44 SUSBANDS PORTRAYED BY WOMEN. According to Women's Novels Only Good Husbands are Dead Husbands. Judging from the women's novels of the present day, the only good husband is a dead husband I take up one of these books and find the story of a young governess who after her marriage with a Cuban relative of her employer, discovers that she has a jealous husband. Under the many indignities heaped upon her, the injured wife at length revolts. She then learns to love another man, who returns her affection. But the lovers agree to try to forget each other, and one succeeds I open another. This also is the story of mismated people—a somber picture of the misery following the union of two temperaments so wholly unsympathetic that there is no possibility of mutual comprehension. But why look further? I turn from these books with a groan. The day has suddenly darkened before me. I feel old and sad, and the world seems a dreary waste of woe and wickedness. For the time I have been breathing in the tainted air of a room where a night lamp is burning and the atmosphere is heavy with the odor of disinfectants. Yet outside my window the young May sun is shining as it has done for 5,000 springs and I hear a robin chirping the same blithe song that stirred the primeval forests. A great wave of discontent like a mighty ogre, has flooded the minds of a large class of women in all civilized countries, sweeping away former traditions. Even the German woman, who so most intellects typifies the mere housewife, is revolting under the tyranny of the kitchen pots and refuses to be confronted with her knitting. In an age which sees more women writing than ever before in the history of the world it is natural that this unrest should find its expression in many of their books. In the minds of the disaffected portion of the sex arise these questions: Why are these women discontented? What is it they protest against? What do they really want? Is it true, as one of their critics asserts, that they mistake curiosity about morbid social conditions for a desire for moral reforms? But, at least, the novelist might teach the uses of a sorrowful marriage. She might teach that to bear is to conquer our fate. She might teach us that though happiness has not fallen to her heroine's lot, or ours, in this age of philanthropy and intellectual activity there is plenty of occupation for heart and head and hand. And we will rise up and call her blessed if in future novels she will admonish the family skeletons to rattle tacre bones as faintly as possible, in case they can not be absolutely silent. Let her preach to us the gospel of hope, hope for dear pair itself, as Dickens preached it. Am may we yet meet a few good husband in our pages, for if the husband in man's fiction continues to go from bad to worse as rapidly as he has been doing of late years, he bids fair to sow occupy the place once held by the eleventh century villain—Nina R. Allen in Modern Culture. Imperer and Barber Emperor William of Germany hath taught his barber a lesson. Very painful himself, the emperor insists that his servants shall also be punctual, and as he noticed some time ago that his barber was almost always a few minutes late when the time came for shaving him, he presented him with a good chronometer and urged him to make good use of it. Much to his surprise, the barber continued to be a few minutes late almost every morning, and, after waiting in vain for some signs of improvement, the emperor said to him the other day, "Have you still the chronometer which I gave you?" "Yes, your majesty; here it is," replied the barber, taking it from his pocket. "Give it to me," said the emperor. "It is evidently of no use to you and you can have this one instead." With these words he placed the hand some gold chronometer on his dressing-table and handed to the amazed barber a nickel-plated watch worth about a dollar.—New York Herald. Among the peasants of Turkey almost all the doctoring is still done by women in Constantinople there are laws against these healers, but they flourish, of romance languages in Western Reserve University, and Professor Ladd, of Yale, will become the first incumbent of the Dr. Leonard Hanna chair in the medical school of Cleveland University.

The two men are opposites is personality, habits and tastes, and, indeed, have only one thing in common the unfriendliness with which they are regarded in Sweden.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN BACKWOODSMAN STATESMAN Life, which immediately followed the conclusion of the present trip. Just below New Salem the boat "stuck," for one night and the better part of a day on Rutledge's mill-dam,—one end of it hanging over the dam, and the other sunk deep in the water behind. Here was a case for Abe's ingenuity, and he exercised it with effect. Quantities of water were being taken in at the stern, the lading was sliding backwards, and everything indicated that the rude craft was in momentary danger of breaking in two, or sinking outright. But Abe suggested some unheard-of expedient for keeping it in place while the cargo was shifted to a borrowed boat, and then, boring a hole in that part of the bottom extending over the dam, "rigged-up" an equally strange piece of machinery for tilting and holding it while the water ran out. All New Salem was assembled on shore, watching the progress of this singular experiment—and with one voice affirm that Abe saved the boat; although nobody is able to tell as precisely how. The adventure turned Abe's thoughts to the class of difficulties, one of which he had just surmounted, and the result of his reflections was "an improved method for lifting vessels over shoals." Offutt declared that when he went back from New Orleans, he would build a steamboat for the navigation of the Sangamon, and make Abe the captain; he would build it for runners for ice, and rollers for shoals and dams, for with "Abe in command, by thunder, she'd have to go." and rollers for shoals and dams, for with "Abe" in command, by thunder, or by lightning. A One day an old Indian found his way into the camp, weary, hungry and helpless. He professed to be a friend of the whites; and, although it was an exceedingly perilous experiment for one of his color, he ventured to throw himself upon the mercy of the soldiers. But the men first murmured, and then broke out into fierce cries for his blood. "We have come out to fight the Indians," said they, and by God we intend to do it!" The poor Indian, now, in the extremity of his distress and peril, did what he ought to have done before; he threw down before his assailants a soiled and crumpled paper, which he implored to read before his life was taken. It was a letter of character and safe-conduct from Gen. Cass, pronouncing him a faithful man, who had done good service in the cause for which this army was enlisted. But it was too late; the men refused to read it, or thought it a forgery, and were rushing with fury upon the defenseless old savage, when Capt. Lincoln bounded between them and appointed victim. "Men, said he, and his voice for a moment stilled the agitation around him, "this must not be done; he must not be shot and killed by us." "But," said some of them, "the Indian is a damned spy." Lincoln knew that his own life was now in only less danger than that of the poor creature that crouched behind him. During the whole of this scene Captain Lincoln seemed to "rise to an unusual height" of stature The towering form, the passion and resolution in his face, the physical power and terrible will exhibited in every motion of his body, every gesture of his arm, produced an effect upon the furious mob as unexpected perhaps to him, as to any one else. They paused, listened, fell back, and then sullenly observed what seemed to be the voice of reason, as well as authority. But there were still some murmurs of disappointed rage, and half-suppressed exclamations, which looked toward vengeance of some HE birthday of Abraham Lincoln brings to every American citizen feelings of reverence such as perhaps arise on the natal day of but one other man who ever served the nation. Particularly in the west, which gave to the country the great stateman, whose patriotic services Americans will always gratitude, should the nored one. Reminisf e of this most distin津 will be welcome HE birthday of Abraham Lincoln brings to every American citizen feelings of reverence such as perhaps arise on the natal day of but one other man who ever served the nation. Particularly in the west, which gave to the country the great statesman, whose patriotic services Americans will always remember with gratitude, should the day be an honored one. Reminiscences of the life of this most distinguished son of Illinois will be welcome reading now. INCOLN'S extended reputation as a wrestler andfigater frequently led him into combats which hewould willingly have avoided. One of these encounters is thus described: A Scarcely had Lincoln reached Coles County, and begun to think what next to turn his hand to, when he received a visit from a famous wrestler, one Daniel Needham, who regarded him as a growing rival, and had a fancy to try him a fall or two. He considered himself "the best man" in the country, and the report of Abe's achievements filled his big breast with envious pains. His greeting was friendly and hearty, but his challenge was rough and peremptory. Abe valued his popularity among "the boys" too highly to decline it and met him by public appointment in the "greenwood," at Wabash Point, where he threw him twice with so much ease that Needham's pride was more hurt than his body. "Lincoln," said he, "you have thrown me twice, but you can't whip me." "Needham," replied Abe, "are you satisfied that I can throw you? If you are not, and must be convinced through a threshing, I will do that, too, for your sake." Needham had hoped that the youngster would shrink from the extremity of a fight with the acknowledged "buly of the patch," but finding him willing, and at the same time magnanimously inclined to whip him solely for his own good, he concluded that a bloody nose and a black eye would be the reverse of soothing to his feelings, and therefore surrendered the field with such grace as he could command. NE cold winter day, Lin- coln saw a poor fellow named "Ab Trent" hard at work chopping up house," which Mr. Hill had employed him to convert into firewood. Ab was barefoot, and shy. O ered painfully while he worked. Lincoln watched him a few moments and asked him what he was to get for the job. Ab answered "one dollar," and, pointing to his naked and suffering feet, said that he wished to buy a pair of shoes. Lincoln seized the axe, and, ordering the boy to comfort himself at the nearest fire, chopped up "the house" so fast that Ab and the owner were both amazed when they saw it done. According to Mr. Rutledge, "Ab remembered this act with the livestell gratitude. Once he being a cast-iron Democrat, determined to vote against his party and for Mr. Lincoln; but the friends, as he afterwards said with tears in his eyes, made him drunk, and he voted against Abe. Thus he did not even have an opportunity to return the noble conduct of Mr. Lincoln by this small measure of thanks." F Lincoln's trip down the Mississippi on a flatfoot innumerable tales have been told. Perhaps the best of these describes the voyage which he made in the employ of a merchant named Offutt: F Lincoln's trip down the Mississippi on a flatboat innumerable tales have been told. Perhaps the best of these describes the voyage which he made in the employ of a merchant named Offutt: Loaded with barrel-pork, hogs, and corn, the boat set out from Sangamontown as soon as finished. Mr. Offutt was on board to act as his own supercargo, intending to pick up additions to his stock along the banks of the two Illinois rivers down which he was about to pass. On the 19th of April they arrived at New Salem, a little village destined to be the scene of the seven eventful years of Mr. Lincoln's N incident, occurring during the Black Hawk war, well illustrates the character, manliness and chivalrous generosity of Mr. Lincoln. away to weep, and then, wiping her eyes with her apron, went on with the story. 'He was duliful to me always. I think he loved me truly. I had a son, John, who was raised with Abe. Both were good boys; but I must say, both now being dead, that Abe was the best boy I ever saw, or expect to see. I wish I had died when my husband died. I did not want Abe to run for President; did not want him elected; was afraid somehow,—felt in my heart; and when he came down to see me, after he was elected President, I still felt that something told me that something would befall Abe, and that I should see him no more.' 'Is there anything in the language we speak more touching than that simple plaint of the woman whom we must regard as Abraham Lincoln's mother? The apprehension in her 'heart' was well grounded. She 'saw him no more.' When Mr. Hernond rose to depart, her eyes again filled with tears; and, wringing his hands as if loath to part with one who talked so much of her beloved Abe, she said, 'Good-by, my good son's friend, Farewell.' "Mr. Lincoln's first appearance on the stump, in the course of the canvass, was at Pappsville, about eleven miles west of Springfield, upon the occasion of a public sale by the firm of Poog & Knap. The sale over, speechmaking was about to begin, when Mr. Lincoln observed strong symptoms of inattention in his audience, who had taken that particular moment to engage in what Mr. James A. Herndon pronounces 'a general fight.' Lincoln saw that one of his friends was suffering more than he liked in the melee; and, stepping into the crowd, he shouldered them sternly away from his man, until he met a fellow who refused to fall back; him he seized by the nape of his neck and the stat of his breeches, and tossed him 'ten or twelve feet easily.' After this episode—as characteristic of him as of the times—he mounted the platform, and delivered, with awkward modesty, the following speech: "Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens, I presume you all know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance. I am in favor of a national bank. I am in favor of the internal-improvement system and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. If elected, I shall be thankful; if not, it will be all the same." "In these few sentences Mr. Lincoln adopted the leading principle of the Whig party-Clay's 'American System' in full. In his view, as we shall see by another paper from him when again a candidate in 1834, the internal-improvement system required the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands amongst the states. He says nothing of South Carolina, of nullification, of disunion; and on these subjects it is quite probable his views were like Mr. Webster's, and his sympathies with Jackson. The opinions announced in this speech, on all the subjects touched by the speaker, were as emphatically Whig as they could be made in words." judge, or witness a be without assuming the responsibility of a stakeholder. "In the spring or summer of 1832," says Henry McHenry, "I had a horse race with George Warburton. I got Lincoln, who was at the race, to be a judge of the race, much against his will and after hard persuasion. Lincoln decided correctly; and the oth er judge said: Lincoln is the fairest man I ever had to deal with; if Lincoln is in this country when I die, I want him to be my administrator, for he is the only man I ever met with that was wholly and unselfishly honest." His ineffable purity in determining the result of a scrub race had actually set his colleague to thinking of his latter end. kind. At length one of the men, a little bolder than the rest, but evidently feeling that he spoke for the whole, cried out, "This is cowardly on your part, Lincoln!" Whereupon the tail captain's figure stretched a few inches higher again. He looked down upon these varlets who would have murdered a defenceless old Indian, and now qualified before his single hand, with lofty contempt. The oldest of his acquaintances, even Bill Green, who saw him grapple Jack Armstrong and defy the bullies at his back, never saw him so much "aroused" before. "If any man thinks I am a coward, let him test it," said he. "Lincoln," responded a new voice, "you are larger and heavier than we are." "This you can guard against; choose your weapons," returned the rigid captain. Whatever may be said of Mr. Lincoln's choice of means for the preservation of military discipline, it was certainly very effectual in this case. There was no more disaffection in his camp, and the word "coward" was never coupled with his name again. Mr. Lincoln understood his men better than those who would be disposed to criticise his conduct. He has often declared himself, that his life and character were both at stake, and would probably have been lost, had he not at that supremely critical moment forgotten the officer and asserted the man. To have ordered the offenders under arrest would have created a formidable mutiny; to have tried and punished them would have been impossible. They could scarcely be called soldiers; they were merely armed citizens, with a nominal military organization. They were but recently enlisted, and their term of service was just about to expire. Had he preferred charges against them, and offered to submit their differences to a court of any sort, it would have been regarded as an act of personal pusillanimity, and his efficiency would have been gone forever. HEN Mr. Lincoln was postmaster at New Salem, Ill. his easy good nature is sometimes imposed by considerate acquaintances: IU one of the devices by which he sought to stop the abuse is related. "One Elmore Johnson, an ignorant but ostentations, proud man, used to go to Lincoln's postoffice every day, if in town and inquire, 'Anything for me?' This bored Lincoln, yet it amused him, Lincoln fixed a plan—wrote a letter to Johnson as coming from a negress in Kentucky, saying many good things about opossum, dances, corn-shuckings, etc.; 'John's' come and see me, and old master won't kick you out of the kitchen any more!' Elmore took it out; opened it; couldn't read a word; pretended to read it; went away; got some friends to read it; they read it correctly; he thought the reader was fooling him, and went to others with the same result. At last he said he would get Lincoln to read it, and presented it to Lincoln. It was almost too much for Lincoln, but he read it. The man never asked afterwards, 'Anything here for me?' HE debt which the great President owned to his stepmother for her tender care and constant love was always gratefully acknowledged. A pathetic picture of this gentle lady in her is given as follows: T "Mrs. Lincoln was never able to speak of Abe's conduct to her without tears. In her interview with Mr. Herndon, when the sands of her life had nearly run out, she spoke with deep emotion of her own son, but said she thought that Abe was kinder, better, truer, than the other. Even the mother's instinct was lost as she looked back over those long years of poverty and privation in the Indiana cabin, when Abe's grateful love softened the rigors of her lot, and his great heart and giant frame were always at her command: 'Abe was a poor boy,' said she, 'and I can say what scarcely one mother—a mother—can say in a thousand. Abe never gave me a cross word or look, and never refused, in fact or appearance, to do anything I requested him. I never gave him a cross word in all my life. * * * His mind and mine—what little I had—seemed to run together. * * * He was here after he was elected President.' (At this point the aged speaker turned INCOLN'S unique methods of campaigning are thus described by an eye-witness. This was on the occasion of his first nomination as a legislative candidate: V INCOLN possessed the judicial quality of mind in a degree so eminent, and it was so universally recognized, that he never could attend a horserace without being importunted to act as a judge, or witness a bet V THE LATEST NEWS IN BRIEF The gang of professional passers of forged checks has been working Kansas City, Mo.

Initials on back. 'M L.' The above reward will be paid to anyone bringing the same to Messra. Brighton & Simmons, Sloane street." Three people in three different places were reading the advertisement soon after 9 o'clock in the morning of Friday, on 19th of May. The first, who was a solid-looking person in blue, sitting on a high stool, the inner precincts of New Scotland ward, was doing so because he was paid or it. The second, whose paper had already quired some beer stains from the public-house bar at which he was read- gift, was a white-faced gentleman with pair of twitching eyes, a two-days' ard, and a bad habit of biting his hills. The third reader was a sandy-haired ling man of fresh complexion attired a Zingari smoking jacket, who ap- peared to have very little appetite for a excellent breakfast, and he had come on the advertisement purely by ance. And so she had lost it. "£10." The sum gave rise to reflection to the body young man, as well as to Mr. dewlaw. She wanted it back, and inted it rather badly. Spare £10 less, he knew, were rarities with Colleen Liddiard's daughter. Yes, it was ar that she still valued the thing—why? Fred Barallay—that was his name—jerked himself from the chair and paced the room. Feeling the necessity of action, he changed his coat, seized a hat, and went into Plecadilly, possibly with a ideaague of finding the pendant. If he was his intention, it was, as the aider knows, doomed to disappointment, but it so happened that in his underings he came across the jewelers top at which he had purchased the lossicle. He stopped, looked into the window, turned back, and entered. The thing he ordered was, curiously ough, a heart-shaped pendant of blu amel surrounded by diamonds and th a diamond center. The initiali l. L." were to be engraved on the back. The whole thing was to be as as possible to one he had ordered e preceding spring, and he was oblig- to have it immediately. Wake happily for Mr. Barallay's peace of ad, on Monday morning the package be, but then arose a doubt as to other the real pendent had not yet found and handed over. With in hands he tore open the package w the white morocco case into the place, and started out. everything had gone so well that it with a tremor, not of doubt, but ofement, that he ran up the well-referred steps and glanced over the near square as he waited for his to be answered. The same foot came to the door, and beneath theurturbality of the British servant a look of surprise and pleased ignition. Miss Mabel was at home. "I'll you tell her," said Barallay, at her pendant has been found, and at the finder would like to give it to or personally, if she would not mind; not give my name." At that moment the door opened, and a Liddiard—in every way a suitable lady for whom to go forth and chase pendants—came in. She wore look of blank surprise as she saw him You!" she exclaimed. "You found a pendant?" she said, interrogatively. An answer was needed. He was vexed at it had, from the circumstances, to a falsehood. "Yea." "It is really most odd that you should have found it," she said. "I had forgot-n all about it." "Good-bye," said Miss Lilliard, chilly. Slowly down the stairs and out of the front door went Mr. Barallay with his heart in his boots and his eyes on the ground, and paused at the front of the steps undecided which was the nearest way to the devil. It was then that a hand was clapped upon his shoulder and he looked round and perceived a phlegmatic person he had seen from the window and an attendant. "What the dickens do you be taken, angrily. "The matter of that pendant," said the large man, with the air of setting all intentions at rest. "What has the pendant got to do with you?" famed Barallay. "Don't argue. Don't argue," said the man soothingly. "Now, my gentleman, would you like a cab?" "Look here," said Barallay, curbing an intense desire for combat. "They know me at that house. Ring the bell and ask them who I am." "Know you, do they? Constable, ring the bell." The bell was rung and they waited. "Did you get your reward?" insinuated the large man. "Oh, yes, I got my reward," responded Barallay, moodily, and the footman opened the door. "And this afternoon he came with the pendant," volunteered the footman Barallay wished the pendant at the bottom of the sea. "The pendant was stole," he said, and then appeared Miss Liddiard with just shade of pink at the tip of her nose and her eyelids. She paused in astonishment and Barallay looked uncomfortably away. "The pendant was stole pursued the large man," "because the chain was stole and other articles at the same time belonging to other people. Grabbed as they came out of the manne. The person 'oo comes for the ward knows all about it. I don't say stole it, but 'e knows them that did, a'e received it. Now you came for the reward, and, wot's more, you got it. Miss Liddiard started, and the large man turned and saw her. The pendant was in her hands." "Excuse me, ma'ma'," he said, and took it. "Now," he continued, addressing Barallay, " 'ow did you come by it?" At this moment the footman rushed in, his face pallid with bewilderment and breathlessly remarked: Amid the astonished group the large man stood the master of the situation. To the policeman he hastily whispered "Hide yourself." It was Mr. Bluejaw who held out his hand to command attention. "Ah farnd the pendink, swelp me Thursday afternoon, Pocadilly Succum anybody else come 'ere an' ray e' farm it 'e a' lair, swelp me; if you've gim 'the cesh e' e's 'bilked yer; ah farne the joll as advertised, an' ah want ten pounds cesh, 'trewth, swelp me." "You don't expect to receive the reward without returning the article, pressure," said the large man, consciously, for the pendant was in his pocket. "So now," he added, with some lo of dramatic effect as a householder Lcwndes Square, "that's of it." "Nough of it!"—nough of it!" gasp, the exasperated Bluejaw. "What do you take us for?" said it large man, majestically. "You can produce the missing article. We a know that." "Can't perdooce?" said Mr. Bluejaw in bewilderment, drawing from his pocket the pendant and presenting it to the public gaze. For the first time the large man w unequal to the occasion. He made dive into his own pocket for his treasure and brought it forth to stare at in astonishment. Miss Liddiard, to had some difficulty in believing his eyes. She went up to Bluejaw and enamined his pendant, and then gave rapid glance at the one the large man had placed on the table. "That is the one I lost, I am sure it," she said, pointing to Bluejaw "This," she continued, looking at another minutely, "became new somehow and different." There was a painful pause. The law man rubed his head thoughtfully for moment. Then he whistled very softly and whilst the half-asphyxiated police man emerged from behind the curtain Mr. Bluejaw made a bolt for the street followed quickly by the representation of the law. Left alone, Mabel raised her puddy eyes and looked at Parallay, who tugging at the mountaine in embarrassment. "I bought it. Had it engraved. He some silly ideas. Thought idiotic things. Mabel Liddiard took the pendant—the new one— "And she woulda tell them that you brought the shoe would have gone to p—prison rather than let me snow," she faltered. Barallay feud something prettier than the carpet to look at, and, instead of a yellow musache to pull, a timid, proffered little hand to press.
