COL. FAIRHOLi E'S WIFE.
The rupture was all a.betut a two
acre field. Col. Falrholme, J. P., want -
td it to all out a dent In hie ring Pence,
...nd Sir George Warburton stepped in
and bought It over his head.
"And you can consider your engag --
ment at an end, sir" the Colonel wrath-
fully informed his nephew and heir.
"No $aughter of that sneak's shall be
mistress of Broadwater."
Then Evelyn and Dick held a council
of war on a neutral stile,
"I've had similar instructions," said
the girl. "They're very much incensed
at present, but it won't last. Within
six weeks somebody Will be giving a
reconciliation dinner party. I know the
dear old things so well."
But before the month was out Col.
Fairholme was on his way to Aus•
tralia.
During the first few weeks after his
arrival in Melbourne he communicated
regularly either with his maiden sister
or with Dick. Then there was a gap
for a couple of mails, and Dick was
getting uneasy and meditating a cable
of inquiry when the anxiously expect -d
letter arrived.
'My Dear Boy—I have a piece of
news for you which, I daresay, will
surprise you very much. After being a
confirmed bachelor for nearly 60 years
I have found my better -half at last. I
made her acquaintance at the table
d'hote here and we were married last
Monday.
"The lady is a great deal younger
than myself, and I may say, without
boasting, as charming in disposition as
she is in appearance. You cannot fail
to like her, and I am sure you will both
be the best of friends.
"We are leaving in a fortnight by
the Ormuz, so you will know when to
expect us. HORACE: FAIRHOLME.
"P. S.—Please break the news as gent-
ly as you can to your aunt.—H.F."
"(Treat Scott!" tjacu!ated Dick.
"A young wife! Well that squashes
my position at broadwater," ho sum-
med up; mentally, with a sigh. "But
of course, the dear old man was per-
fectly right to do as, he liked. I
couldn't expect him to remain a bache-
lor on my account. If only it weren't
for Mabel! 'm no match for Mists War-
burton of Bellworth now."
And he sighed again heavily, and
the future loomed very dark, for he
loved the girl with all his heart.
The colonel did not leave at the.
time he had specified, after all. A
few days after the letter c'am'e a brief
note for Dick:
"Just a few lines to catch the mail,
There is a tiresome delay' in the final
arrangements, and I find that I cannot
leave as soon eel hoped. As the berths
are already booked for Ormuz, Adele
will come on alone with her maid. Meet
her at Southampton. I shall follow
by next Orient boat.•'
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 2R o1• 30, undeni-
ably handsome, and desirous of win-
ning the gond graces of her husband's
nephew.
Nevertheless, Dick did riot take a
fancy to her. In fact, she rather re-
pelled him. However, she quite won
Miss Fairholme's simple soul by oom-
plimenting her upon 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, "anti your English scenery
is so picturesque and homelike. I prom-
ise .myself a ramble evere morning be-
fore breakfast.
But one day Dick saw something
which gave him the curlews melon that
after all, it was not the bee .uties of
nature that attracted her, He saw Mrs.
Fairholme walking briskly down the
road outside to meet the poetman—
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 ttrouble to
go out and meet it at 7.:0 A. M.!"
That afternoon he was at the village
postof lee, and the postm.'..catr, r, who
was also the grocer, happened to be
serving himself.
"I saw a letter for you with the Mel-
bourne postmark on 1t this morning,
sir," he said, with the license of an
old tenant. "I hope the colonel's web?"
"William" confirmed the statement
emphatically, and furthermore volun-
teered the information that the new
mistress of Broadwater had rnet him
on the highway, near the lodge gates,
and requested him to hand the letter
over to her.
"Thanks," said Dick lightly. "Of
course, Mrs, Fairholme has forgotten
to give it to me. I'll ask hen to give it
to me. I'll ask her about IL"
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 the piano
suddenly, as though on impulsse.
"By the way," she said, "have you
the key of the strong room, Dick? I
meant to ask you before and forgot. I
should ao much like to see the family
Jewels. Your uncle told me that he
has some wonderful rubies, which he
brought from India. Bring them down,
there's a dear boy!"
The "dear boy" obeyed without the
beat 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. ISut those old-
fashioned settings are horrible. 1 shall
have them all reset at once. Do you
know the address of a good jeweler's?"
"Linklater of Bond street is one of
the beet, I believe. But if you will
excuse me saying so, don't you think
the matter will keep till the colonel's
return? I'm not sure that he would
care to ha.ve them altered."
"0, he won't object if it is ray. week."

she said sweetly. "I am going into the
town early t:, -morrow. I she. 1 vette
myself to Linklater's t, send o•te of
their people to fetch them."
He quietly r...n up to London In the
Horning, and paid a visit to•Mr. Link-
latel, to whim he explained the cir-
cumstances, tied requested that the
atones should not be unset until they
heard from the colonel himself.
"But, my dear sir," the jeweler said.
"I know nothing of these Jewels. No
such telegram as you mention has been
received by us."
The. September afternoon was wan-
ing when he got back to Broadwater,
and Mrs. Fairholme, superb in a velvet
dinner grown, swept across the hall to
greet him.
"You tiresome fellow," she said Play-.
fully, "where have you been all day?
The man from LM►kfater'o 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 doeen wild ideas flashed through
Dick's brain. It wasevident that Mrs.
Fairholme had merely used the pretext
of wishing the jewels reset in order to
get them out of the house.
"O, of course; 1 forgot. He has come
for the jewels, hasn't he? 111 fetch
them."
But when he reappeared his hands
were empty.
"I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Fairholme,"
he said, coolly, "but I've mislaid my
keye. I hope I haven't droi.ee:d 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 the
first thing in the morning. And tho
Jeweler's man shall wait."
Dick wrote out a telegram and gave
it to a groom with a sovereign. "Bend
it off at once, Rogers, And keep a still
tongue in your head."
The message ran as follows:
"To Col. Fairhohne, on board the Aus-
tralian mail steamer Oratava, at Na,
pies:
"Return overland. Imperative busi-
ness. Please don't fall. 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 clreumstances--Pour days
before he was expected by hire. Fair-
holme.
When the locksmith 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 I3o+nd street were away, and on
the third afternoon returned; but the
strong room door was not opened yet.
The workman was awaiting instruc-
tions.
About 5 P. M. there was a rattle of
wheels in the avenue, and somebody
rang the front door bell,
The next moment the colonel, in
traveling cap and ulster, stepped into
the lamplight. She shrieked and
sprang to her feet, overturning the
bamboo table with a crash.
"Col, Fairholmer she gasped wildly.
"Home already!"
"Mrs. Beliarmine! Bless me, what a
remarkable thing! Why, I thought I
had left you in Melbourne!"
"Then she's not your wife!" cried
Dick, aghast.
"My wirer exclaimed his uncle, per-
plexed to irritability, "You know le ry
well I have no wife, sir! I m.•t 1:.!s
lady and her heshand in Melb •ur:+�•.
nd they very kindly nursed 1: e
through my bout of influenza. I to d
you so in my letters."
Of (corse the "man from L

plan,, had taken advantage of hi: 11-
ness to intercept his letters, forge seb.
ttltut.•s to serve their own ends avid
melte this bold attempt to steal the f ie
mous rubies.
The Colonel beamed upon his ne-
peew.
"And what shall 1 do for you, Dick,
for saving my rubies?"
"You can re; ay me very easily if
you like, sir. Call upon Sir George
Warburton."
The Colonel made a. grimace, But he
went. And within two months Eve-
lyn's prophesy was fulfilled.
Bone Pood.
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
holdsthat under the existing regimen
h
the bones of the human frame are not
properly supplied with the chemical
elements needed to keep them in sound
and vi orous oonditlon, and that these
elements can be most easily obtained
by consuming the powdered bones of
the antrna.is ordinarily used for food.

example, with bone dust, after the
manner in which it is sprinkled with
salt and pepper, and he mains -eine that
thus the seers. of the meat may be
greatly improved.—New York Sun.
('aught a PM,toi Ball in His Month.
Stopping a bullet with his teeth was
the feat a000mplished last evening by
ten -year-old Wllniar Lefferts of 5,010
Foulkrod street, Frankford, Oscar
Kerrie, aged 12 years, with whom he
wee playing, had a revolver, and it
went off with young Lefferts standing
in front of it. The bullet struck him on
the upper lip, passed through, and
knocked out a tooth. Thiss, with the
bullet, was coughed up by the boy, and
he went home suffering no greater in-
convenience than that caused by the
hole in his Hp and the loss of the tooth.

That files carry about infe:•tion from
place to place, and from person to per-

belief. Their influence in the spread
of ophthalmia has attracted the atten-
tion of all who have written upon the
social history of Eastern countries.
As everyone knows, there is some runt
of fatuous religious scruple that 10, -

and at,out his inflamed eyelids. lien .e
it has-been generally assumed that, the
flies carried about the spe. itte poison
of ophthalmia, and that theory has of
late years received scientific enders
ment by the wonderful discoverie,; . 1
bacteriology. At the Et )y-4).1 &.+cit• y
last month some interesting exLc'ri-
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
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 showed
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 certa'nly
furnished us with some highly sugges-
tive and Interesting scientific data. It
is to he hoped that he will extend his
researches with pathogenic bart^r1'+,
