The tasteful cap ,sarmounting the brown locks clueterine in a pretty coufusion of short curie about henforehead proclaimed her no longer young, though the fair; blooming face and shapely form were fax more suggestive of youth than of old age. Altogether, Madame Leroux was a lady of most attraetive appearance. She approached me with. nervoughaste, her eyes 'fixed on mine. • "I sent foet- you are-" she faltered almost inaudibly,. and. then paused_ in a pitiable state of agitation, her. Bleeder fingers slowly in - tet -twining themselves, and her whole frame 'trembling. "DeteetiveAshton,' I 1 responded, haeti- ly drawing forward a chair. She smile into it, and. by a silent ges- ture iuvited me to be seated." Presently sbenturnittred rn a low, quivering voice "Monsieur, I am in great distress. aly, ---" a.nd she again paused, oveacome, by her emotions. , I waited a minute in eapectant silence, and then said : • A case of robbery, I understand, Madame. Permit me to ask whether your servants are entirely honest ?" "Entirely," she aoswered, brokenly. "They have served. me for 20 veers." "And your pupils ?" Not a shadow of suspicion may touch them." And. the resident teacher?" She gasped once or twice, and. then, can - trolling herself with a mighty effort, an- swered tremulously : - "Pardon my agitation; I -am worn with trouble and anxiety," adding pres- ently, in more even tones, " I will tell you about it, Monsieur-. My sehool is, as you doubtless know from report, the best and, cOnsequently, the most flour- ishing in the city. I take much money, and often keep large sums by me.

"Your servants .?" • "They know nothing whatevet. Por Mademoiselle De Gray's sake, I have kept these startling robberies a profound p secret." After a few minutes' serious a consideration, I said: "Madame, I ;will watch here nightly until the mystery is solved." Madame shook her head despondingly. . "It is quite useless, Monsieur. I am no coward, and liavs already tried that plan, and, strange to say, my cabinet remained 'intact both times."

Oil, nsee WORTH TEN TIMES ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. DO YOU the KNOW ANYTHING OF IT ? IF NOT, IT Is TIME YOU DID. There are but few preporatiOns of medicine which have withstood the impartial judgment of the people for any great length of time. One of these is THOMAS' ELECTRIC OIL, 0E1701), a prepar- ation of six of some of thebest oils that are known, each one possessing virtues of its own. Scientific physicians know that medicines may be formed of severalingredients in certain fixed proportions of greater power, and producing effecte which could ever result from the use of any one of thole, or in *iflfferent cambinations. Thus in the preparation of this oil a chemical ehange takes adage, forming a compound which could not by may possibility be maae from any other combination or proportions of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients, and entirely different from anything ever before made, one which produces the mostastonishing re- sults, and having a wider range of application than any medicine ever before discovered. It con- tains no alcohol or other volatile liquids conse- quently loses nothing by evaporation. Wherever applied you get the benefit of every drop; -whereas with other preparations nearly all the alcohol is lost in that way, and you get only the small quan tity of oils which they may contain.
