Dick wondered a little at the arrange-
ment, but did not fail to meet his un-
cle's wife when the time arrived. She
was a tall woman of or 30, undeni-
ably handsome, and ,desirous of win-
ning the good graces of her husband's
nephew.
Nevertheless, Dick did not take a
fancy to her. In fact, she rather re-
pelled him, However, she quite won
Miss Fairholme's simple soul by com-
plimenting her up ,n her housekeeping.
and refusing to interfere with such ad-
mirable management; also she profess-
ed a great interest in the estate.
"I am so fond of the country," she
told them, "and your Englbh scenery
is so picturesque and homelike. I prom-
ise myself a ramble every morning be-
fore breakfast.
But One day Dick saw something
which gave him the curious notion that
after alt, It was not the beauties of
nature that attracted her. Ho saw Mrs.
Fairholme walking briskly down the
road outside to meet the postman—
there was only one delivery in that
part of the world—who was about to
leave the Broadwater letters at the
lodge. She stopped the man, and he
gave her an envelope which she open-
ed and read' on the spot.
"Hum!" he reflected. "So Mrs. Fair-
holme is so anxious about her corres-
pondence that she takes the trouble to
go out and meet it at 7.30 A. M.!"
That afternoon he was at the villa.ge
postoffice, and the postmaster, who
was also the grocer, happened tis be
serving himself,
"I saw a letter -for you with the Mel-
bourne postmark on it this morning,
sir." he said, with the license of an
old tenant. "I hope the colonel's well?"
••William" confirmed the statement
emphatically, and furthermore volun-
teered the inforthatlon that the new
mistress of Broadwater had met him
on the highway, near the lodge gates,
and requested him to hand the letter
over to her.
"Thanks," said Dick 1lghtly. "Of
course, Mrs. Fairholme has forgotten
to gtve it to me. I'll ask her to give It
to me. I'll ask her about It."
Conscious of her duplicity, Dick could .
scarcely force himself to be civil to
her. But she appeared not to notice
his moroseness, and in the evening
after dinner she rose from s the piano
suddenly, as though on impulse.
"By the way," she said, "have pan
the key of the strong room, Dick? I
meant to ask you before and forgot. I
should so much like to see the family
jewels. Your uncle told me that he
has some wonderful rubies, which h®
brought from India. Bring them down,
there's a dear boy!"
The "dear boy" obeyed without the
best grace in the world, and Mrs. Fair-
holme admired the jewels and played
with them all like a child with a new
toy. But the rubies seemed especially
to captivate her fancy.
"They are magnificent!" she said, and
her eyes were almost as bright with
excitement as the gems themselves. "I
never saw anything like them. And the
diamonds are fine, too. ieut those old-
fashioned settings are horrible. 1 shall
have them all r•eceet at once. Do you
know the address of a good jeweler's?"
"Linklater of Bond street is one of
the best, I believe. But if you will
excuse me saying no, don't you think
the matter will keep till the colnnePs
return? Pm not sure that he would
care to have them altered."
"0, he won't object if it is nay tuiak."
1
she eald sweetly. "1 am going auto the
town early ter -morrow. I shall wire
myself to Llnklatei'cs to send ene of
their pet)! le to fetch them."
He qui ey len up to London 'n. the
rnorn: rg, and 1, •id a visit to Mr. reale-
1 ter, to whom he explained tie,cir-
curr.s:ances, and requested that the
stun :; should not be unset untie they
heard from the colonel earned,.
"But, my dear sir," the Jeweler said.
"I know seething of these *wets. No
such telegram as you mention has been
received by us,"
The September afternoon was wan-
ing whe.i Le got back to Broidwater,
and Mrs. Fairholme, superb to a velvet
dinner gown, swept across the ball to
greet him.
"You tiresome fellow," she Bald play-
fully, "where have you been all day?
The man from Lktklater's has been
here since 3 o'clock, waiting for you to
come home with the strong room keys."
There was a moment's pause, where-
in a dozen wild ideas flashed through
Dick's brain. It was evident that Mrs.
Fairholme had merely used the pretext
of wishing the Jewels reset In order to
get them out of the house.
"0, of course; I forgot. He has Dome
for the jewels, hasn't he? I'll fetch
them."
But when he reappeared his hands
were empty.
"I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Fairholme,"
he said, coolly, "but I've misla.d my
keys. I hope I haven't dropped them
out of doors."
"I don't think it will be much use
searching for them," she replied, with
an unpleasant laugh. "I shall have
a locksmith down from London tho
first thing in the morning. And the
jeweler's man shall wait,"
Dick wrote out a telegram and gave
ft to a groom with a sovereign. "Send
it off at once, Rogers, And keep a still
tongue in your head,"
The message ran as follows:
"To Col. Fairholme, on board the Aus-
tralian mail steamer Oretava, at Na.
pies:
"Return overland. Imperative busi-
ness. Please don't fail. DICK.
If the Colonel obeyed he would be at
home in three days; that is to say, four
days before he would have arrived un-
der ordinary circumstances—four days
before he was expected by Mrs. Fair-
holme,
When the looksmfth arrived, Dick
had a little private conversation with
him, and a banknote changed hands.
As the result, the man told Mrs. Fair-
holme that the job was a long one, and
that he could not undertake to accom-
plish it under three days.
The mysterious man who was not
from Bond street went away, and on
the third afternoon returned; hut the
strong room door was not opened yet.
The workman was awaiting instruc-
tions.
About 5 P. M. there was a rattle orf
wheels in the avenue, and somebody
rang the front door bell.
The next moment the calomel. in
traveling cap and ulster, stepped Into
the lamplight. She shrieked and
sprang to her feet, overturning the
bamboo table with a crash.
"Col. Fairholme!" she gasped wildly.
"Home already!"
".Mrs. Bellarmine! Riess me, what a
remarkable thing! Why, I thought I
had left you in Melbourne!"
"Then she's not your wife!" cried
Dick, aghast.
"My wife."' exclaimed hie uncle, per-
plexed to irritability. "You know very
well I have no wife, sir! I met this
lady and her husband in Melbourne,
.nd they very kindly nursed Die
through my bout of Influenza. 1 to d
you so in my letter's."
Of course the "man from La-
ter•'s" was her husband, and tie • e r

Glans, had taken advantage o° hi 11-
ness to intercept his letters, forge sub.

'i he Colonel beamed upon his ne-
phew,
"And what shall I do for you, Dick,
f .r saving my rubies?"
"You cin repay me very easily if
you like, Sir. [_'all upon Sir George
\Varbu rton."
The Colonel made a eruuace. But he
went. And within two months Eve-
lyn's prophesy was fulfilled.

That flies carry about infection from

belief. Their influence in the epreed

social history of Eastern countries.

it has been generally assumed that the
files carried about the see: file potion
of ophthalmia, and that theory has of
late years received scientific endorse-
ment by the wonderful discoveries of
bacteriology. At the Royal Socit y
last month some intergstieg experi-
ments were shown by Mr. T. W. Bur-
gess, illustrating the capability of the
common house fly for transmitting in-
fection. His plan was to expose a fly
to a momentary contact with a culture
of bacillus prodigiosus and then allow
ie to escape into a large room. At va-
rious subsequent ,periods the fly was
recaptured and made to walk over the
sterilised surface of a cut potato. These
infected slices were then placed in the
incubator, and after a time sh awed
flourishing cultivation of the original
bacillus. These results, it is worthy of
special note, were obtained even when
the fly had spent several hours in ac-
tive movement about the room between
the time of its original infection and
recapture. Mr. Burgess has certainly
furnished us with some highly sugges-
tive and Interesting scientfflc data. it

A New York food reformer who
would improve the diet of mankind has
put out a proposition for the eating of
bones, after they are ground fine. He
holds that under the existing regimen
the bones of the human frame are not
properly supplied with the chemical
elements needed to keep them in sound
and vigorous condition, and that these
elements can be most easily obtained
by consuming the powdered banes of
the animals ordinarily used for food.

example, with bone dust, after the
manner in which it is sprinkled with
salt and pepper, and he maintains that .
thus the taste of the meat may be
