Domestic Monthly, It was an evening in midwinter, The Parisian season was at its height, and a brilliant audience had assembled at the Theatre Francals. The Kmpress Eugenie was present, graceful and beautiful; the emperor at herside, wrapped in his favorite ' air of gloomy sbstraction, which, like Lord Burleigh's celobrated nod, was supposed to mean so much; yet which, viewed by the impartial light of subsequent vera- clous history, . seem to have signified so very little. Several officers in glit- tering uniforms wero in attendance, sparkling with decorationsshowered upon riod. The beauty and the wit of this fair northern enchantress were the theme of every masculine tongue and her magnif- icent diamonds the envy and admiration of all feminine beholders. The countess was accompanied by her husband, a_fine man of distinguished pre-possessing appearance, who looked an embodied refutation of the celebrated Napoleonic aphorism, as though no amount of *‘scratching” could ever un- earth the Cossack element underneath his refined, polished exterior. The curtain tell after the first act. The "Emperor and Empress withdrew during the intermission, Many humbler mor- tals followed their example, among them Count Ivanoff, The Countess leant back in her luxuri- ous chair, fanning herself dreamily, in- different to the interest she was excit- ing. In the dim light of her curtain- shaded box the glitter of her splendid dismonds seemed to form a mort of luminous halo round her graceful head; a myriad starry brilliants gleamed among the masses of her gold-brown hair; and two priceless stones, popularly reported to beworth that unknown quantity, a king's ranson, flashed and twinkled like twin planets in her little shell tinted ears, The ccunt had not been gone five minuses when there was a gentle knock at the door, and, in answer to the count- ess, ““Entrez,” the usher appeared and said deforentially: “Pardon, Madame la Comtesse; a gentleman charged with a message from her majesty, the Empress, waits in the corridor, and desires to know if madame will have the goodness to recelve him.” “‘Certainly! Enter, I heg of you, Monsieur,” replied the Countess, in the low, suave voice, which was not the least of her many attractions, bowing gracious. ly as ehe recognized the distinguished looking civilian she had already noticed cerning whose manifold graces and fasci- Proprietors.

I will myself return it the instant her Majesty gives it back into my keeping.” *‘With the greatest pleasure,” agreed the countess, with amiable alscrity de- taching the precious jewel forthwith, and depositing it, without mlsglving, in the outstretched palm of the imperial mes- senger; for, indeed, diamonds were al- most as plentiful in the existence of this fortunate lady es in the pages of some novels, The countess bestowed a smile and a gracious bow of dismissal upon her Ma- jeaty's distinguished embassador, who re- sponded by @ profoundly respectful in- clination as he made his exit. Once safely outside the box, the aristocratic features of this d imperial emis- sary suddenly lost their serene expression of ‘digunitied gravity, and relaxed into a triumphant Mephistophelian grin, Shortly afterwards Count Ivanoff re- turned, ‘I have been talking to D. A he remarked, as he seated himself. “Clever fellow, D I am not sur prised at the emporer's partlality for Lim; he must find him go useful when he is in want of an idea,” “Who is D.

Ho came on the part of the empress, and carried off ono of my earrings, which her majesty wished to compare wita one of the count. ess of W.s" ‘D! Impossible! I was talking to him the whole time 1 was absent, and he only left me at the top of tho staircase two seconds before I returned.” “‘Novertheless, mon aml, he has boon horo and has taken my earring. Soe, it is gone.” “Effectively!” agreed the count, with a grim smile; “but D—— has not taken it. It ie to the last degree unlikely that the empross would make such n request. Depend upon it you have been made the victim of a thief, got up as an acourate copy of the distinguished looking D—.," *‘Impossible!” cried the countess in her turn, *‘The affair is absolutely as I tell you. It was Monsteur D—— 'the verita- ble Monsieur D—— I see opposite, who came Into this box and took away my diamond, Only w: little, and he will ring it back intact. “'fio wait a littlo is to lessen the chance of its recovery. In any case J will go and inquire of D——, if I can get at him, whether he has been scized with a sudden attack of kleptomania: because the idea of the Empress having sent him roaming about the theater borrowing a lady's jewels I regard as preposterous, Ah these Parisians! Youdo not know what scientific geniuses they are in their way. With this the court departed, and the socond act was nearly at an end before he returned. In the meantime the Countess pre- ceived that she was an object of interest to the occupants of the imperial box, and notably to the ‘“double” of her late aristocratic looking visitor, who, she could still solemnly declaro, had stood before her. ‘I was right," whispered the Count, re entering and about D of and earring, and, needless to say, the Empress nover sent him to any one else upon such an orrand. I have put the matter into the hands of the police, and will do all that is possible to recover 1t."” “Really! How very droll!” romarked the countess with calm nonchalance—for she belonged to that order of impassive, statuesque women, who remain mistross of themselves through any quantity of “china fall;” *I will take out the other earring or pooplo will think I am _trying to set the fansion by;wearing an odd one, and she handed the fellow of the pur- lotned jewel to her husband. The play came to an end, as oven that most excellent feast of reason, a good French play, well acted, must do, sooner or later, in common with all things mun: dane, The countess was duly commiserated by sympathizing friends, who, one and all, declared behind her back that they would never have been guilty of the im- becility of trusting so valuable a posses. sion to the tender mercies of however fascinating a stranger; but nothing more was heard of the stolen jewel until the following day at noon, when Count Ivan- off received a note from D—— to the ef- fect that, as he could not help consider- ing himself partly responsible for the loss of the diamond which had disappeared through the agency of his counterpart, he had taken an early opportunity of in- terviewing the chief of the police, who assured him he had gooa reason to believe the thief had already been traced as far a8 Brussels. Early in the afternoon the countess was about to start for her daily drive in the park. The frozen snow lay deep up- on the ground, and her sledge, with its two jet-black Russian horses jingling thetr bells merrily in the frosty air,stood waiting in the courtyard while the count- tess donned her furs. A servant entering announced that an officer of police, in plain clothes, asked pormission to spesk with Madame la- Comtess concerning the lost diamond. ‘‘Certainly,” agreed madame, gracious ly, ‘et the officer be shown into the boudoir.” Into the boudoir presently came the Countoss, stately, beautiful, fur-clad, buttoning her little gloves. Near the door stood a short, wiry-looking man, with keen black eyes, closely-cropped hair, and_compact, erect, military figure, ‘The small man clinked his heels together and bowed profoundly in the presence of 80 much high-born loveliness, while he said, with the utmost respect, at the same time laying a letter upon the table: @8I am sent by the order of the chief of police, to inform Madame la Comfesse that the stolen diamond has been satis- factorily traced, but there is, unfortun- nately, some little difficulty connected with its identification, I am charged, therefore, to beg that Madame la Co: tesso will have the goodness to entrust the fellow earring to the police for o short period, in order that it may be compared with the one found in the possession of tho suspected thief. Madame will find that the letter I bring corroborates my statement.” The coumtess glanced hastily through that her mald might be told to bring the romaining earring immediately, This was done, and the dapper little man, bow- ing defferentially, departed with the pre- clous duplicate safely in his possession, The countess descended to her sledge and drove to the club to call for her hus- band enroute for the park. Crossing the Place de la Concorde, she related to him the latest incident in the atory of the dia- mond earring. ““You never were induced to give up the other?” cried Count Iyanhoff, incred- ulously, “‘But I tell you, mon ami, an officer of the police came himself to fetoh it, bring- ing a letter from his superior vouching for the truth of his statement.” ‘‘If the prefect himself had come 1 don't think I should have been cajoled into letting him have it after last night's experience,” laughed her husband. ‘'However, for the second time of asking, we will go and inquire.” The coachman turned and drove as di- rected to the bureau of police, at which the count had lodged his complaint the night before. After & little delay the gount rejolned his wife with a semi-grim ook of Amusement upon his huadsome irsute face, *“The police know nothing of your de- tective or his pistolary efforts,” he said, drawing the fur rug up to his chin as the impatient horses sped away merriiy over the frozen snow; *‘it was the Wwrong wan they had got hold of at Brussels, Your socond ear-ring has boen netted by an other member of the light-fingered fra- ternity, and upon my honor 1 think he was the most accomplished artist of the two."” And from that unlucky day to this the celebrated diamond r preily cars no wore, carring koew ki the letter, and, ringing the bell, desired | m SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4 154, § COUNCIL BLUFFS !
