The order of Koresters has begun work- ing in Omaha and South Omaha and the in- dications are that there will soon be well established lodges of the order in the city. The gentlemen in South Omaha who are in: terested in the work held a meeting some evenings ago and arranged upon last night as the time for meeting and perfecting t organization, The movement for an org; zution in ths city has been so far perf. that the Omaha branch will hold . mceting for the same purpose Monday evening at 1515 Dodge street. Org: Byrne of Chicago reports that both b nches start out with a good list of members and bopes within a year to organize a state court. The Independent Order of Foresters is a benevolent orgamization, based on the broad- est principles of mutual aid and fraternal in- tere rse in social and business life.

JARDINE'S DIAMONDS Pretty little Mrs, | diamond rdine had lost her brooch, valued in the thou- sands, and was in a peck of trouble; for it had been presented to her on her wedding d and ide from its value, was prized asamemento of the father now dend. Her hushand was continually lectur- ing her upon her carelessness with re- «d to her jewels, and prophesying the loss of some one of them, and now the most valuable of all had been stolen. Stolen, for she utterly refused to believe in its being lost. Fortunately, as she comforted herself, her husbund was away on one of his long business trips, and could not be expected back for at lenst six weeks. In the meantime she would keep the loss quict and send for the best detective talent to ussist in the discovery of the missing jewel. The loss she had diccovered after ris- ing in the morning, She had been to a party on the previous evening and r turned home late. Being very tired, she drowsily submitted to the opera- tions of her'maid and was soon in the and of Nod. Her first thought in the morning was of her jewels. Her earrings and brace- lets were found in the jewel box, but not her brooch. In alarm she rang for her maid who in answer to her ques- tions suid she had not n the brooch since Mrs, Jurdine pinned it on the previous evening This maid, Barker by name had been with her too mau s 10 be suspected, S0 she sat down and had a *“good ery then sent for a detective. Later in the day ncard was brought to her on which was engraved the name of “John Rouch.” The detective, of how the gentleman up, Jame; Jardine suid d to the footman. John Roach stood in Jardine’s cosy little morning room. Jardine never having had any ¢ rience with this class of men, was rather taken a to find a w sed gentleman before her her surprise allowed him to take the initiative in the conversation. “How can I serve you His manner was f: luulmu‘ 2 HE voico, Tocovering somowhat from hor amazement, she stated he e very quickly, and implored him to leave no stone unturned to restore her aiamond to her. Roach suggested that this was a diffi- cult thing to do, and that Mrs. Jardine must not be too sanguine as to his ability. “*Oh, but T know you will find the brooch! You must Whatever shall I do if Mr. Jardine discovers my loss Mr. Jardine u good judge of dinmond?” asked Roach, “No—that is, not particularly.” “Well, you he will remain away 3 about week: “My advice then would be togo to a jeweler and have a paste brooch made us near as possible like the one which is 1o Oh.

Fushionable women had been losing jewels all - win- ter. e had a dozen cases on his hands like this one, and had not yet been able to find the slightest clew to the eulprit. He was convinced that the thief was operating alone, and that he was not getting rid of the jewels cither in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia or Bultimore, for the pawn-shops were closely watched, He had haunted parties, receptions. weddings and even func but had not been able to discover any one that he could even suspect. His paticnce was sorely tried. Thus things went on for severil weeks, The time for Mr. Jardine's re- turn was d ving nighand his wife was nearly frautie. John Roach determined upon an_ experiment tn looking over Mr ments he had noticed a ve handsome old dagger with a cross for the handle. I'his ¢ was studded with diamonds and wa: very costly affair, He told the ly tow that dagger on the next evening she went to a party or re- ition. My Jurdine at once con- :nted to wear it at Mes, Blank’s ball, on which occasion Roach was present. He saw her when she came in, looking plendent in white silk, with the yger at her bosom, Over her arm arvied an opeva weap. After hours of patient watching Roach observed that a very distinguished look- ing man constantly hove about the ladies who wore the most jewelry, and that he seemed v fond of Mrs, rdine, tain that this ge lent family, but posse: rdine’s orna- particulu He ma maun wis of ¢ d little m During the evening he said to Mrs. Jardine: “If you losa that dagger to-night don'tbe alarmed, for I will return it to you in the morning.” Perfectly mystified, she was about to question him, but he was gone. Just at this moment the gentleman before mentioned requested a dance but on the plea of fatigue Mrs. Jardine excused herself and said she thought she would return home. He politely offered to call her carriage, and, off¢ ing his arm, led the way dows Upon the vehicle being announe :d her cloak over he houlde t **thank you’ from Mrs, Jardine, and she was on her way home. Probably a square had been traversed when the conchman halted, and Roach’s fuge uppeared at the carviage window. ‘Have you your dagger, Mrs. Jar- dine?" he inquired.
