"We are strangely unwilling to take the life „et such a brave man as yourself. 11 we were assured of your silence, we would even be disposed to permit you to escape this time. with a solemn warning not to cross our path again. But we feel that etc - `mace' is out of the question. There is one hope—a slight one, it is true -which may permit us to gag you and tie you securely in this room, where you will be left in peace for at least forty-eight hours, after which time a telegram can be dis- patched to any address you choose to supply us with. But really, ow- ing to unforeseen - circumstances, this chance of a reprieve is remote. It wholly depends upon the arrival, or otherwise, at this house, of a .gentleman whom we expect at 11.15." Brett leaned forward in his chair and took out his watch. ' The other misunderstood his moveruent, and each of the other three promptly produced a revolver. Brett laughed quite heartily. "Really, gentlemen," . he cried, "your 'nervousness is ludicrous." He saw that he yet had five min- utes' grace before his .self-constitut- ed judges would proceed to execute their sentence. As for the Turks, they were manifestly ,,ashamed of having betrayed such trepidation, , and they replaced the weapons so readily staged. "That is a ` point in my favor," thought Brett: "Next time,if I do wish to reach my revolver1 niay be able to get the draw on them first." "During the interval " said Hus- Wein-el-Murk;suave) , "is there any- thing y,y thing 'you wish, to do—any letters 11 to write or that sort of thing?" "No," said Brett, "I do not think so; it seems to nae that you have thoroughly misunderstood the pur- pose of this meeting. I carne here. in order to obtain from you parti- culars which will lead to the release of Mr. Talbot and redeem his char- acter in the eyes of his superiors. I did not come here to be killed, Hus- sein -til -Murk. I am not going t:, be killed. If you touch a hair of my head you will only leave this house for a prison, and subsequently for the gallows. And ,so, you see, you are talking childishly when you dangle these threats and prelimin- aries to immediate execution before my eyes. It is not you, but I, who will dictate the terms on which we part. It may per -haps interest you to explain this new phase of the situation to your fellow -country- men, and the matter will also serve to dissipate ' the few . minutes yet that have to elapse before 11.15. Hussein-ul-Multi ma -?e no direct reply to this remarkable speech. That it impressed him was quite evi- dent from his manner. Forthwith an animated but subdued 'conversa- tion took place between the trium- virate. While it, was in progress a pecu- liar knock was heard on the outside door of the apartment. "Ah I he come," said Hussein -el - Nita in French. He left the room in order to meet the new arrival. He returned without delay, bring- ing with him a man -very different from those whom Brett had•encoun tered thus far in connectionwith the crime. This was a dripper lrbtle Frenchman, wizened, yellow -- skinned, black -haired, and dressed almost in the extreme of fashion. He at once' addressed himself to the bands ter. "Theytell.,me m friend "- he , y , said, "that you have thrust your finger into the pie which the friends of his Majesty the Sultan aro pre - A PAARTYR TO Ii(EADA,C ES ,21.thaA671 322P. 25c. a Box at your druggist's'' will make life comfortable for you again, They relieve the worst headache in 30 minutes or less, oust Chemical Co of Ccoad Ali:, ke-t, ro e w paring for him, It is a bad busi- ness. You are too soon for the banquet. The result is that your poor little finger may get burnt, a, the pie is still being cooked." The man smiled maliciously at. his feeble witticism, and Brett in atantly took hie measure as a Mena• ber of the gang of flash' thieve, which infest Paris, He knew that such a ruffian was both pitiless and cowardly. Whatever the outcome of the situation avhieh faced him, hi "ouldnot stoop to conciliatory tie' thods with this despicable rascal, "I suppose," he said, "that the only part of the affair which con- aerns you is the robbery." "Well, and wart if it is ^" "I can only say that your politi- eal friends will be well advised x keep a close eye on you, for yet would rob them just as soon as tLc persons against whom they have: employed yell," The little thief laughed. cynically "You arc right, mon vicux, I would be delighted to have the chance. But this time it is impossible, 'Pias stones are too big. They are worth —pouf €—ioillions of francs, so I must, be content to receive my pay-, which is geed." , ".clave you intruste'4 the Sultaeh diamonds to the care of a scamp like this?" said Brett, addres.,un ltiruseif to Hussein, and inua•ardlie resolving that 'unless the conversa- tion by chance took a turn favorable to himself, he would forthwith opexr fire on the gang and endeavor to eccape. "Yes," cried the eamepirator with a1 savage laugh, "Yea have aevor seen them, Mr, Brett? Here they' are. To many men the sie-htweld bebe a pleasant one. To you itshould be terrible, for the arrival of these diamonds ; at this moment ramie that you must dee." . So sayirng, he pree.lueed from an inner pocket of his .frock -kelt a large, plain morocco ease, The pres- sure of a spring caused the lid to fly back., reveling to the eyes of those in she room a collection et die:mendt: marvelous ' b • reason of the size and magnificence of each stone. In the center reposed the Imperi- al (Hee-load itself. For an instant Brett reflected that whilst the *tiler men were fascinated by the spec- tacle he would have a. good oppor- tunity to shoot some of them with- out mercy' and make a dash for lib, erty. But at the sante moment there conic to him an odd thought. His friend' the jeweller of the Rue do la Nix had not given him a lesson. in vain during the previous afternoon. The barrister suspected—in fact, he was almost sure—that the gems now flaunting their half -revealed glories in the light of the day—for not one of them had undergone the finatl process peculiar: to the, dia- mond cutters trade—were net the real stones stolen from -Albert: Gate but well -fabricated substi- tutes.

An Ohio woman says Grape -Nuts food gave her good red bleed and restored the roses of youth to a complexion that, had been muddy and blotchy. She says: "For 10 years I had stomach trouble which produced ;a breaking out on my face. •The doctors gave it a long Latin name, but their me- dicines failed to cure it. Along with this I had frequent headaches, nervousness and usually pain in my stomach after meals, "I got disgusted with the drugs,', stopped them and coffee off short, and quit eating everything but fruit and Grape -Nuts, with Postern' for my table beverage. "The headaches, stomach trouble and nervous weakness disappeared almost like magic, which showed that when the cause was removed and good food and drink used nal- ture was ready to help. "My blood was purified and my complexion became like a young tet, girl's,' while my weight was increas- ed from 90 to 120 pounds in a few months—good, solid, firm flesh, where it used to be soft and flabby.. "I recommended Grape -Nuts and P ostum to , one of my friends, who was afflicted as I had been.

"Well, well, what's the matter, Tiddle Toddle Toddiekins?" said big brother Dick, as be saw his small sister sitting in, the big arm -Chair. looking very disconsolate. "0 Diek,t' said the little girl, whose name war; really Gertrude,. but litho was called "Trudie" for short, and "Ticddle Toddle Toddle- kins" when Dick wanted to tease a little, "I'm so worried about Tug gins and. Foppett, the little kittens Mrs. Spencer gave me. Their mo- ther died, and the poor little things are too young to drink milk them- selves. We must find some way to feed them, but I've tried all sorts of things, and I can't teach them to drink. They are getting so thin I don't know what to do." Dick thought a minute, and then he said, "Come on, Trudie ; I know the very thing." He ran up -stairs to his room, and pretty soon came backwith something in his hand. "Now," he said, ""come out where the. kittens are, and let's see if 11 can get them to drink." First they went to the kitchen and heated a cup of milk, not really hot, but just nice and warm. Then Dick and Trudie went out to the shed, where the two little motherless kit- tens were in their box. Really, they were very thin, for, as Triadic said, they had eaten nothing for two days. Dick took one of the little kittens .up, and then Trudie saw that what he had in his hand was a 'ns/tnemeeei Paste this in y -,lar bonnet, gi.rlst, You can never till what seat of bus - 'baud a man will'make b the brand of love' letters he ,vritc s, 31 nice, new, clean fountain -pen filler or medicine -dropper. IIe filled the dropper with the warm milk and put one end in kitty's mouth He then pressed the rubber end of the dropper, and kitty tasted the warm milk in her mouth. How she did claw and struggle to get more milk! Truelie held her in her arms and Dick fed her milk until' she was sat isfiecd, Then Trudie put her back in the box, and the other kitten was fed in the same way. Trudie led them mill; in this . way for several, days, until they learned to drink" milk oat of a saucer. The kittens are sleek grown-up, ,t; ». eats now, and well able to take earl> of themselves.
