I, "Not a very promising address, cer- tainly, yet, .on second thought', I am inclined to think we are on the right track." "Who is the writer?" "lic has sent his card along with the letter. here it is: 'Mr, Alphonso Mar- tin, professor of ledgerdemain, Jobling's Rents, Parker street, E. C. Schools and family parties attended.' " The speakers were the two princi- pals of the private detective agency of Sarsfield street, Picadilly, known as Beauchamp & Co., and the occasion was nothing less than the loss, of the hands of some enterprising bur- glars, of the Countess of Mountfleld's jewels.li police inquiries had been baffled, tend at last, in a very private and confidential manner, the earl had enlisted the services of Beauchamp & Co. A skillfully worded advertisement, drawn wish perfect knowledge of the legal danger attached to •"compound- ing a felony," had appeared in the most likely papers, and, after a week or two )f anxious expectancy, had elicted a reply. "I think we had better communicate with His Lordship before deciding on our next step," said Mr, Sharpe, the `enior partner. "We shall have to walk -ery warily in the matter. The ransom Mr. Alphonso Martin suggests is rather a Large order -8500. I purpose taking his case in hand myself, Fisher. We cannot intrust any of the young men with it, and there are other matters demanding your attention." The junior partner nodded 11 acqui- escence, but it was as one who had no cptlon but to acquiesce. "Mr. Martin's letter is of a very non- committal character," he ventured to hint. "You are new in the business, Fish- er, or you would know that is the usual way. He is only the g0 -between, you understand. As with ourselves, the principals do not appear in the matter. Fancy an Earl negotiating with Bill Sikes." "No, not likely. But Martin is scarce- ly even an agent; he knows some one who knows somebody else who can tell us where the jewels are. Are we to give £500 for old woman's gossip Like that?" "1 shall not part with the money untie I have seen the jewels and got them into my possession. Trust an old bird not to be caught with chaff. Mean- while, I shall write to arrange ten in- terview with Isis Lordship, and to tell him that the affair is of such delicacy and importance 1 have determined to devote to It my own personal skill and attention. That will 'fetch' him. You see. T. know a thing or two in our line of life; but of course it only comes by long experience. You had better ack- nowledge Martin's letter, get what de- finite information you can out of him, and, above all arrange for me to see him." Tr. At opposite poles of the social scale the earl and the burglar were brought into quasi association through the In- termediation of the astute Mr. Sharpe, Five hundred pounds was a large sum but when family jewels are concern - (d, handed down through a long line of more or less distinguished ancestors, it is not time for scrupulous bargaining. Mr. Alphonso Martin proved Tess emenabie to the private detective's wishes. He had called at the office In Sarsfield street on one occasion and seen Mr, Fisher, who did not form a very favorable opinion of him, and told his palrtner soon his return from Mountfield Castle. But Mr. Sharpe at- tributed his young friend's doubts to his inexperience and took care to see the professor of legerdemain himself on his next appointed visit, "I presume you are only the agent in this matter?" he inquired, In what he considered his best diplomatic man- ner. • "Certainly, sir, 'What do you mean?" "Oh, nothing; only as men of the world, we both know that it is well to take nothing for granted," "And yet I have to take it for granted that you are only the agent of the gen- tleman or lady who seeks to get those Jewels back?" - "Quite so, and I have here a very good voucher In the shape of the re- ward promised," replied Mr. Sharpe, taking from his pocket a bundle of bank notes. These I aril ready to hand over to you in conelderation of the quid pro quo, you know." "I tell you what, guv'nor," he said. "I believe you mean fairly, and that I Can trust you, but in this business I am • not my oval master:—very far trout. It,. There *re tl?te0 1 ?: u it rilia'O, I do net know, ha -Veal -00 • tuttch os seen. you may take My word fair it. But they will do nothing but what is fair and square between gentlemen, pro- vided, of course, your side do the same." "And what do you propose, then?" asked Mr. Sharpe, somewhat taken aback. "You will have to come for it your- self, if any business is to be done." "To your address in Parker street?" "Yes; leastways," he quickly added, for he was not altogether unsuspicious of a trap and had taken his measures accordingly, "if you call upon me there wit! take you tq a house where the men will be waiting for you with the stuff. Then a fair exchange will be no robbery," and here the professor laugh- ed, probably at his own wit, but Mr. Sharpe was too busy thinking to join him In It. - "But Isn't there just a chsnce that sem, of your fr—, some of the men you :Beni: of, might take a fancy to relieve me of the notes while on the way ? It will be a great ternptation." "I shall take care that no one knows about it. Resides, you can bring some one with you, that will be a protect - lion. But nothing of the kind will be required, I feel quite sure" III. Accompanied Ly one of his you men, and with a role of crisp ba notes snugly ensconced in an inn breast pocket, Mr. Sharpe at eig o'clock the following evening wend his way to Parker -street. He had a opted the further precaution of taki a revolver with him, so that he felt a position to entertain no misgiving to personas safety, or the security his employer's money and the equiv ent for which It was to be trap: ferre Mr. Martin welcomed his visitors co d'u'ly. He was profuse in his apol gies that the little matter could n be settled there and then, but the 1 rtructions of his prinolpals were pe emptory, he said, and Mr. Sharpe wou agree with him that any risk of th negotiations falling through must avoided at all hazards. As they le the house he was careful to look bac to make sure that they were not b lug shadowed, a precaution followed b the elder of his companions. Each so peered the other, though outwardly o the friendliest terms. They entered a large house, "ver much in want of repair," thought th detective, as he stumbled up the creak ing staircase without a ray of light t Illumine the way. On the third land ing his guide pushed open a door an struck a match to light a candle tha stood ready on the mantelpiece. Th room was of the most squalid desert) tion, but not without signs of perpara Con having been made for expecte visinuy. In the adjoining apartmen Mr. Sharpe's quick ear detected th voices of men, whom he sagely con eluded to be Mr. Martin's actual prin clpale. "It would not be profess'onel fo them to see you " said the latter, suppose you want to make sure of th Identity of the jewels ?" "Certainly." "I well bring them, but they ma first ask to see. the money." "I cannot let the money out of m sight," was the prompt and decisly answer. In a second Mr. Martin was back carrying a shabby black bag. He opened it. however, without parting with It. One gran••ee at its contents satisfied the detective "T-Iere is the money," said he, as his fingers rested upon the bag. Mr: Martin counted the notes, while the other negotiator reckoned up sev- erally the contents, at ail events, but not so Mr. Martin. who was clearing Ills throat preparatory to speaking, "You u see, Mr, Shorne, that is all fair and above board, as I told you it would be, so far as the stuff is concerned, but my men are bad to please about the money. You couldn't let them have an- other hundred. could you ?" But Mr. Sharpe was obdurate, and the professor handed him hack the roll he had been lovingly fingering, and took the bag again into the room where the men were. Hls entreaties for them to accept the visitors' offer were met with a chorus of accentuated "Nocs !" The latter meanwhile carefully recount- ed I:is notes and stored them away in his safest pocket. And then he took his leave, arranging to see Mr. Martin after the lapse of a few days. "It's a great pity," said Mr. Fisher, en his return home, "hut 1 dare say his lordship will pay the other hun- rlrerl 'have have no doubt he will. However, we will place this money in the bank the first thing to -morrow morning. They are rascally- enough to break in here on the off -chance of getting it that way, T believe. I was one too many for them to -night already, and T shall take it home with me now to make quite sure." But to Mr. Sharpe's horror, the bank rash ler next morning told him his notes were forgeries. The le'errfemain nrofessor's sleight-of-hand hed stood him in good sterol, for when handling the notes he, nhserved, snhstlh,te 1 „duffers."

DEAn SiR,—As Mr. West has chosen the town hall, Clinton, for place of discussion, I beg to say that when he states that he has obtained the use of said hall for the entire continuance of the debate, and that he will continue it to an exhaustive fluidity. of the sub- ject, and has named his representative, the Mayor if he so chooses ; and that he (Mr. W.) will so discuss the books, teachings and principles, recognized, authorised and used by the respective churches to which we each belong, I shall name ray representative, and they two will choose a moderator, and this board will name the time of debate. Let the discussion be a real one, not a force of a few sessions duration. With the works or teachings of churl hes, other than the Rolnish and that to which I belong, I have, in this con- nection, nothing to do, and this agrees with my statement cf last week which Mr. West has not yet accepted, as any unbiassed reader may see. Other churches are, doubtless, well compet- ent to answer Mr. W. in their own be- half. I forbear noticing Mr. West's usual, evasive and quibbling remarks.

The pain and suffering caused by rheumatism is indescribable in. lan- guage. The bent back, the crippled limbs, the intense neuralgia pains that are caused by this trouble almost drive the victims to despair. The blessing comms to those who have learued of South American Rheumatic Cure, which is simply marvellous in its effects, curing desperate cases in from one to t wo days.

Thousands will welcome the balmy air and zephyr breezes, while a multitude, hovering between life and death, are linable to enjoy or even appreciate the blessings of a kind Providence. A hoot of men and wornen and young people ,are laid low owing to diseases contracted during the winter season. Impurities of the blood, cause it to flow sluggishly, and the results are, continued headaches, heavy and cloud- ed brains, neuralgia, rheumatism, and a host. of other symptoms that endan- ger life. For all these troubles, Paine's Celery Compound is the great, end unfailing cure ; it acts like a chnrin on the ner- vous system, producing pure blood, a cool and easy head, clear brains and a sound body.

Beyond Doubt the Greatest Medical Discovery' of the Age. WHEN EVERY OTHER HELPER HIS FAILED IT CURS A Discovery, Based on Scientific Principles. that Renders Failure Impossible. In the matter of good health tempor- izing measures, while possibly aucceas- ful for the moment, can never be last- ing. Those in poor health soon know 'whether the remedy they are using is simply a. passing incident in their ex- perience, bracing them alp for the day, or something_ that la getting at the seat of the disease and is surely and permanently restoring. The eyes of the world are literally fixed on South American Nervine, They are not viewing it as a nine -days' won- der, but critical and experienced men have been studying this medicine for rears, with the one result—they have found that its claim of perfect cura- tive qualities cannot be gatnsaidt The great dl:covererof this medicine was possessed of the knowledge that the seat of all d!sease is the nerve centres, situated at the base of the brain. In this belief he had the best scientists and medical men of the world occupying exactly the same pre- mises. Indeed the ordinary lay- man recognized' this principle 1.)ng ago. Everyone knows that I, t disease or Injury affect this part of the human systern and death is almost c rtain. Injure the spinal cord. which is the medium of these nerve cen- tr,e, and paralysis Is sure to follow. Here is th; first principle. The trou- fttrmrsv ble with medical treatment um. ally, and with nearly all medicines, is that they aim simply to treat the organ that may be diseased. South American Nervine passes by the organs, and im- mediately applies its curative powers to the nerve centres, from which the, organs Of the body receive their supply of nerve fluid. The nerve centres healed, and of necessity the organ which has shown the outward evidence only of derangement is healed. Indi- gestion; nervousness, impoverishe blood, liver complaint, all owe th to a derangement of the ne centres. Thousands bear testimony that they have been cured of these troubles, even when they have become so desperate as to baffle the skill of the most eminent physicians, because South American Nervine has gone to headquarters and cured there. The eyes of the world have not been disappointed in the inquiry into the ruse cess of South American Nervine. Peo- ple marvel, It is true, at its wonderful medical qualities, but they know be- yond all question that ft does every- thing that is claimed for it. It stands alone as the one great certain curing remedy of the nineteenth century. Why should anyone suffer distress and sick- ness while this remedy is practically at their hands ?
