When at last the rain ceased and his daughter and littleFritz had gone away, the old man went up to resume his watch. At first he observed noth- ing unusual. After sitting a while, he thought he noticed cold air descend- ing on his head. He rose, and, to his horror, found the trap-door in the roof open. In rushing to give the alarm he stumbled against Aubyn's camera, and knocked it down, so that it lay com- pletely covered in its own black cloth. In afew minutes lights were brought, and the extent of the robbery was as- certained. The police were at once communicated with. Before dawn the news of the robber,' had been flashed all over Europe. But the thief was not found, nor the slightest clue to him. For a little while -a few hours -the eyes of the police were fixed with some- thing more than . curiosity on Walter Aubyn, the young Englishman, who had got leave to photograph the crown, and because of whom the crown had been taken out of its cage of ordin- ary safe keeping. But next morning Aubyn, having heard. of the theft,came to the jewel -tower and asked that he might have his camera back. As may be supposed, the people about the tower were in no very good hum- our, and did not regard Aubyn or his request with much favour. But they had nothing to say against him; and it bad been ascertained that he had spent the night before with the family of the Chancellor of the Grand Duchy, So that he could have taken no active part in the robbery. Accordingly they could not, in common justice,keep his camera; and, wrapping it up in its own black cloth, they bundled it out to him with maledictions. He carried it away at once, just as it was, to his own lodgings, where he discovered it had been a good deal damaged by its fall, and that the brass cap of the lens was missing. He mourned a while over his dilape idated camera, then began idly devel- oping the plate, locked the door of his room, and did not open the door for two hours. When he came out he went to the assembly rooms, where the talk was all of the Fuego del. Animo and the rob- bery. No trace of the thief had been discovered up to that hour. and it was then four o'clock in the afternoon. By this time everyone knew the his- tory of the gem, and the eventful car- eer it had run. Aubyn listened eag- erly to all that was said, The general belief was that the thief would try to make his way.to America, there have the stone cut nto several pieces so as to destroy its identity, and then dis- pose of the spoil. To all this Aubyn listened in silence. There `was one old gray -bearded man who seemed to know much about the Grand Ducal jewels. Towards him Aubyn gradually worked his way, and, finding a seat near the old man, he said, when the crowd had drifted away, and they were left alone. ' You, sir, seem to know a great deal 'about the jewels of his Serene High- ness: Aubyn spoke in German. The old man answered in the same language, Well, my friend, I ought to know a odhimself on the the ' am th(tap- pingi- torian of those jewels. T * wrote their history in a fat pamphlet. If you are interested in them, I shall be most happy to present you with a copy of my big pamphlet.' I am deeply interested, and should feel very much indebted to you for the loan of a copy.' You shall have no loan, my friend. You shall have the book out and out.' He pulled a thick paper -covered vol- ume from his pocket, and presented it to the young Englishman, who thanked him, and, after some more talk of no moment, went away with the thick pamphlet under his arm. As Aubyn was leaving the assembly rooms, he heard the people saying that the Grand Duke had offered a reward of two thousand marksa hundred pounds) for information of the Fuego ni del Amo. When Aubyn got home he turned to the account of the Fuego del Animo, and selected, without hesitation, the Oriental legend of the gem. Here he read that the belief in Lassa, the cap- ital of the province of U. and of Tibet, was, that the gem would ultimately find its way back to the convent whence it was stolen, and that it would i come back by a route in no way coin- ciding with the way it had taken in its flight ; and in order that it might not be polluted by contact with pro- fane lands which had so long hidden its glory -,and kept it from the service of the Gand Lama, a way of water should be opened for it where now was land, and that it would come on the wings of the blessed cool winds of the north, I borne like a star upon the forehead of a holy man. a When Aubyn had finished reading, a he again went out. He sought the I assembly -rooms once more, and there 1 pored over a number of foreign news- papers for a while. He devoted all his attention to the advertisements,and p at•last seemed to find. what he wanted. He wrote down a name and address in t his pocket -book, and went direct to the t Chancellor of the Grand Duchy. ' I have occasion to telegraph on ur- gent business to Port Said, axed I wish is to know if you can give me a reference there. I am telegraphing to a com- h !Clete stranger, and I want him to e incur a little expense on my account. a Can you manage this for me?' 0, with pleasure 1 Give me the name a of your man ; telegraph to the German consul there. That will be all right.' t I am infinitely obliged to you. This a is the name of the man. The whole e affair will not be more than twenty or a thirty pounds.'

And Whato you intend to do with the money ? Not gamble, I hope?' CHAPTER II. CLAPHAM COMMON. That night Aubyn set out from Ode wald for England. He had business two kinds to transact in London, and wanted to lose as little time as po sible. His first business lay in t house of Mr. Henry- Stainer, who warehouse was in the City, and who private house stood on the edge of Cie ham Common. Mr. Henry Stainer was a moderate prosperous City man of about sixt years of age—stout, fresh -coloured, bal hospitable, and good-humoured. Ther was nothing of the City pomp or im portance or statliness about him. H had a large family and he love his family dearly. He had good a wife as any in Londo and he knew it, and would upon occ sion boast of it. He had no less tha five sons and three daughters. A the boys were unmarried, and lived home. They were, taken from the el est down, Charles, Bill, Mum, Paul, an Fred. The eldest girl, Alice, was ma ried to Wilfred Marston ; the othe two girls were unmarried. The eider the two was Lizzie, and the younge Loo. Mrs. Marston was a tall, lithe, am able matron of eight -and -twenty. Sh had never been a beauty, but the'kin ly expression of her face made it see as though beauty would be an impert nonce. Lizzie was short and plump an dark. had a saucy turned -up nose,quic hazel eyes, and round chin with dimple in it. Loo, the youngest, was like her elder sister, tall, but she had better figure, and was byfar the bes looking of the family. She had golden brown hair, large quiet hazel eyes, straight nose, with delicate nostrils, mouth that always wore a happy con tented smile, and a wonderful complex ion of white, with blue veins in th neck and temple, and delicate pink i the soft round cheeks. The elder three of the boys were a business in the City; the younger tw were at a day -school; and the girls liv ed at home, and helped to keep hous with their mother. One afternoon in February the tw girls, Lizzie and Loo, were sitting in the drawing -room, which was on th first floor, and over -looked the Com mon. The Common looked damp dreary, deserted. It was not raining,bu the air was filled with a very thin fog which made everything in and out o doors sodden and sticky. The two girl had been busy about the house all th morning, and were now resting a whil before luncheon. Each had a book in her hand, but neither was reading. At last Miss Starner put down he book, and said wearily, ' Can you read to -day, Loo ? I can't. ` Not a bit,' answered Loo, closing he book, and turning her eyes from th bright fire to the dingy green Com mon. I wish to goodness 'twas dinner -time and father and the boys were in. hate the house on a dull day, when al the work is done and there are no men in it. When there's a man in the house there is always something to do.; you can tease him, or you can get him to abuse you.' Yes; or you ca.n get him to drive thing.n s, or Whatia funnb a y thing itor some is that no woman can drive in a nail straight! really much use at alldear , if he truth aren'tee only told! Look at you and me now, Loo. What earthly good are we ?' ` I don't know about you, Liz, for you know you're awfully clever ; you can do nearly everything: But look at me ; 'm always breaking something, or burning something. If I was a serv- nt, they wouldn't keep me a month in place. You could be a governess,but 'm too stupid to be of any use to any one.' Don't be such a silly, darling !' said Lizzie, going over to her sister, and utting her arm round Loo's waist. Tau know every one loves you, and hat father or the. boys would do any- hing for you; and that there is anoth- er person-' O1 but, Liz, dear Liz, that is what breaking my heart, darling -breaking my heart 1 That can never be. He - e never will be able to get any mon- y. Father says so ; and father knows 11 about money.' She threw herself into her sister's rens, and cried hysterically. She had never spoken before about his affair. The matter had never been eluded to in the house. They all lov- d Loo clearly. She was the pet of 11. Neither of her sisters ever felt he slightest pang of jealousy when hey 'knew that their father, mother, rid the boys looked with peculiar,, hough not unjust, tenderness on Loo. 11 who knew her loved her with the t and tender love we give a fragile hild. And yet there was no sugges- on of physical weakness about her on the contrary, she. was a model o1 Y RANSOM, ` Yes ; I am going to put down my last shilling on a desperate venture.' ' I am very sorry to hear that. And what may this venture be ?' I aau going to put down all I have against the stolen ruby:' Eh?' cried the old Chancellor, hol- lowing his hand behind his ear, as though he was not sure he heard aright. Aubyn repeated his words. ' And, may I ask, have you any rea- son to hope you will succeed?' ' Yes; very good reason. I am, the only man in the world who has a clue to the robber, and whither he has fled.' 'And that clue is ?' demanded the old man anxiously. 'My secret,' answered Aubyn, ris- ing. True, true! I should not have put that question, but I was over-anxious about that stone. By the way, I may tell you that, if the stone is not found by morning, we purpose Increasing the reward to twenty thousand marks.' 'A thousand pounds ? Well, even that won't pay ; but I'll do my best. It will take time, a long time ; but I shall bring that stone back here, as sure as you're name is Von Brincken.' And after a few words of courtesy and good wishes, Aubyn took his leave. uthful health. It was the fine eth- 1 spirit' of her nature that. subdued 1. She was always happy merely to e and see others happy around her. er s mpathy went. out to meet every one she met, and yet her sympathy ldom took the practical form of ae- on. The Stainers were a most united and fectionate family; but,,as in all nth-. families, now and then hitches and ifficulties appeared. In all ' such cases th sides went to Loo, and although never openly took the part of a eace-maker, the hitches and difficul- es began to disappear after 'both sides d t eked to Loo. She leaa large, toleraf tforgiving , nature. o Matter what befell herself, she never resented It ; and 'those who came to her in heat were -shamed out of the anger by the gentle spirit of the girl.. She, was not, with alt this,1 l by any means meek her spirits were as high as the gayest coul desire. Lizzie held the weeping girl agains her breast and soothed her ; , and when she grew a little calmer, said, ' Has father said anything to you about the matter ?' No, no. I have never spoken to any one until now, Liz. Father never said anything since that day at dinner after he went away, when he told all that he was a young man of honour and good principles, and a gentleman, but that -that-that-you remember the point- ed way father said it -that he : was of too romantic a turn of mind ever to be able to make enough money to marry and settle down ?' ` Yes, child, I recollect. But you are only twenty, and he is only twenty-five. We must. hope, Loo, that father was. not right. I ani sure we all like hint very much, and the boys think there is no one like him alive ; and mother likes him, and father himself likes him, in spite of his being poor. And you know, Loo, that although father may talk that way, he isn't a bit mercen- ary.' Yes ; but I'm sure father' will be very firm, about this, He spoke as if he meant all for me.' And did he -you know who I mean -say anything before he went away ?' Yes.' ' And what did you say?' ' I told him -0 1$z.. I told him -what could I tell him but the' truth ?' ' That you cared for him, darling?' ' Yes, Liz.' ' And has he written to you from abroad?' No; he said it would not be fair to write until he had spoken to father-' ' A gentleman to see Miss Stainer,' said the new parlour -maid, opening the door. What name did he give ?' asked the elder sister. The younger rose hastily to escape Just as she reached the door, and be- fore the maid had time to answer, a man stood. in the doorway, blocking it up, and a man's voice said, I heard you were here, Miss Stainer, so I thought I'd come up in person. I am Mr. Walter Aubyn, at your service.' He stepped into the room. The par- lour -maid closed the door. 0 Mr. Aubyn, is it you?' exclaim- ed Miss Stainer. d j THE SULTAN AND HIS RULE. t Members of Imperial Family Lead a We or Illeorous Seclusion.. Yes, no less a personage than I, just returned this morning from for- eign parts. And how are you and all the good folk here?' He took the hand of the elder sis- ter, and then turning to Loo, said, ' Will you not give me your hand in welcome?' She held out her hand in silence to him. She could not yet trust her voice. She durst not lift her eyes from the floor, lest he should see the trace of tears upon her face. Miss Stamer saw the awkward posi- tion in which her sister was placed,and said briskly, Loo, run and tell mamma Mr. Au- byn is here. She will be delighted to see him. Without: raising her head, the young girl glided out of the room. He was a tall fair, loosely -made young man, with regular features and an audacious sparkling blue eye. Now, without his hat, he looked much older than his years, for his light hair had begun to recede from his tall shapely forehead,and already a small bald patch had appeared at the crown. But in spirits and manner he was still boyish and full of fire. His father had been an artist, and he too thought of earn- ing his bread by his pencil. But his most loyal friends (and there was not a more popular man in London) did not dare to say he could ever paint or draw anything worth looking at. He could not work eight, ten, or twelve hours a day in room. a,rv, shoot, placricket and and would much rather take an hour's 'punishment' from a prizefighter than make a study of a head or a foreshort- ened arm. Action was what he always sought ; and if he had been a soldier m active employment he would have come to the front, if he did not loose his life too soon, in leading a forlorn hope, or defending an untenable position. 'Liz, what's the matter with Loo ?' he asked, when the younger girl had gone. He had known the Stamers long, and called them all by their Christian names. O, nothing! She'll be all right in a few minutes,' Then they began chatting about in- different subjects until Mrs. Starner came in. She received Aubyn very cor- dially, and invited him to stay for din- ner. He consented to stay, and while he was giving Mrs. Starner an account of the time he spent abroad, Lizzie slip- ped out of the room, She sought Loo,and found her in her own room. The young girl was greatly excited; and it was not until she had had a slight attack of hysterics that Lizzie could get her to listen calmly, or answer coherently. ' Mamma has asked him to dinner, dear; and, bad as the day is, we had better go out than stay in the house until father and the boys come home. Let us put on our black hats and our waterproofs, and stroll about the Com- mon for an hour or two. I have to buy a few things and the air will do you good, and I want him to carry the things home for me.' So, in less than half an hour from his girls, and he found themselves on the entering the drawing -room, the two skirt of the damp, dreary -looking Com- mon. Loo had recovered by this time, and walked in demure happiness by the side of Aubyn, Lizzie being at the oth- er side. They walked towards the end of the Common, and when they found them- selves opposite the shops, Lizzie said, ' Now I want to go and buy a whole lot of things, and I can't have you takeyoung people dawdling at my heels; so yourselves off for an hour or so, and then come back, for I want Walter to carry all the awkward parcels that I can't wait to have sent.' Aubyn winked with solemn gratitude at Lizzie, looked ruefully at Loo, shrug- ged, his shoulders, sighed, and said, m a resigned voice, 'Well, I suppose there is nothing else for it but to banish myself from the I sweetness and light of those shops, and seek the dreary deserts of the southern slope.'

I know that heaven is his home, What e'er' his faults may be ; He once did borrow my umbrell, And gave it back to ma: Mr. Richard Davey -who is well, ac- quainted with and is an authority on Turkish affairs -- has contributed a statesmanlike article in the Fortnight- ly, in which he explains some of the numerous failings of the Turkish Gov- ernment. Three hundred years ago, the then Sultan made a law condemn- ing all the members of the Imperial family to a life of rigorous seclusion, thus practically preventing them from acquiring any real knowledge of life or of the art of government. That evil law has been the greatest curse of the Empire. By Turkish law the eldest male of the House of Othman succeeds to the throne, and the pres- sent heir-Rasehi.d Effendi -who is now practically a close prisoner in the Sultan's palace, is not allowed to re- ceive a single letter, book, or news- paper, nor a single visitor from the outside world. Possibly he may clan- destinely learn a little, but at great personal risk to everyone connected with the attempt. To expect a Sul- tan thus reared, kept in ignorance and surrounded from childhood with ignorant and bigoted Mussulmans, to rule wisely is like expecting a Chi- nese lady -after heaving had her feet bandaged and compressed from in- fancy -to be an active and vigorous pedestrian. During the last 450 years nine • Sultans have been either mur- dered or FORCED TO ABDICATE T-practically e Sheiiik ul almostsranksyn next totheSultan in the Mussulman hierarchy, oc- cupying the position in the Mohamme- dan world that the Archbishop of Canterbury does in England; but with this difference, that the Sultan can displace him and appoint an- other. Thus, if he is a mere tool, the Sultan is safe (except from assassina- tion), for the latter cannot lee deposed without the written consent of the Mufti. Hence arises one of the difficulties in the way of the more enlightened Turks, who wish to dethrone the present Sul- tan, for outside the palace clique he is disliked by all classes and reli- gions. One trouble is, that he in- sists upon doing everything himself, with the result that much is left un- done, and most of the rest is ill - done. Another trouble is, that he mis- takes cunning for statesmanship, But matters are in such confusion that in all probability sooner or later he will be dethroned. Apart from the terrible sufferings to which the Armenians have been subject, and whioh have called forth the utdignatlon of the civilized world, these tormented people have a legiti- mate claim on the six powers aris- ing out of the stipulations of the Treaty of Berlin in 1878. A good deal has been said about the action of the Armenian Revolutionary Committee seeking to attain their ends and to obtain reforms by incitements to crime in order that Turkish retaliation might horrify the world. All that can be said in this direction, however, is as a mere drop in the bucket com- pared with the unprovoked atrocities that have been infhoted by the devil- ish Turks. The London Spectator, in the last issue to hand, says that there is grave reason to believe that if the Consular reports of the massacres had been published they would have made the boiling indignation of Europe force the hands of statesmen who wish to wait. It is probable that the half of the recent Armenian atroci- ties have not been told. IRON IN FOOD. Spinach Contains More or It Than Eggs or Beef. Prof. Bunge, in the course of a pa- per on iron as a medicine, read before the German Congress of Internal Med- icine, has been ventilating some ideas which are as much matter of general science (and therefore extremely im- portant) as they are details connected with the physicians' domain. He is strong on the point that iron should reach our blood through the medium of our food, rather than through the druggist's specialities. Iron, as every- body knows, is a food element abso- lutely essential for the proper consti- tution of the body. It is as rigidly de- manded by the plant as by the animal; and it is from plants that Prof. Bunge shows we should chiefly receive our iron supply. Spinach, he tells us, is richer in iron, than the yolk of eggs, while the yolk contains more than beef. Then succeed apples, lentils, strawber- ries, white beans, peas, potatoes and wheat, these substances being given in the order in which they stand as' re- gards the plentifulness of their iron constituents. Cow's milk is poorer in iron, but, as balancing this deficiency in the foodof the young mammal, it is found that the blood of the youthfuluadruped con- tains much more iron than the adult. Thus, in a young rabbit or guinea pig one hour old, four times as much iron was found as occurs in these animals two and a half months old. L. A.

ADOLPHE LABODIE, B.C.L., J.P., OF THE WELL-KNOWN LEGAL FIRM OF LABODIE & LABODIE, MONTREAL, For four generations the remarkable family of LaBodie halts been promin- ently identified with the legal and pro- fessional life of Montreal. A long line of active, intellectual men, whose am- bition to rise to prominence meant a constant drain upon the nerve forces and a tremendous demand for brain power. Mr Adolphe LaBodie, B.C.L , .7.P.,etc,, has for seventeen years been actively engaged in the legal profes- sion, living, as the duties of intellect- ual men of this fast age demand, beyond the reserve limit of natural nerve force, requiring more of the nerve centres at the base of the brain than they can possibly fulfil, which always results in nervous prostration, dyspepsia, hot flashes, insomnia, constipation, and attendant evils. Mr. LaBodie spared neither time nor money to obtain relief, went to Europe for special treatment, all to no purpose. His attention being direct- ed to South American Nervine Tonic, he concluded to try it. Result—itn mediate relief from insomnia, and a perfect andpermanent cure from all other disorders, with but five' bottles of the Nervine. Mr. Adolphe LaBodie, under date of April 37th, writes from Montreal : —" I was suffering from insomnia and nervous debility ; prostration and exhaustion, rather than rest, followed a night's experience. I took five bottles of South American Nervine, and am wholly recovered, and now enjoy restful nights. I have tried many remedies, have been treated in Europe, and can say with truthful stu phasis that the South American nerv- ine has cured me." There is reason in all things : bus!- news reasons in business, truthful reasons in truth.
