SHE LOVED HER DIAMONDS. Experiences of a Young Widow in a Loan Broker's Office, Saturday afternoon a handsome, dark-eyed young widow of petite, willowy form, whose Ccnarms bad been ripened by less than 24 years, appeared in the oftice of a well known loan broker on Brondway and asked to secure a small loan on a valuable diamond ring. The jowel was a handsome soltaire with old and well worn gold setting. The woman dis- playea her widow’s weeds with entrancing modesty, aud every necessary aliusion to her dead busbaad brought aquiver to her shapely lips that created a powerful inducement to offer surcease for her sorrow in a ripe, warm kiss. But the loan broker recollected his Sunday school cugagemerts tortho morrow and offered only words of condolenco instead. The Jady was dressed in deep mourning of costly material and gave evidence of refiuement and tho ac- uaintance of better days. Sho said she had just arrived from Des Moines, where uer husband had died, and as she had just suc- ceeded in getting into desirabie employment here, she had decided to romalu permanently in tho Blufs, Hor household furniture was still ip Des Molnes covered with a chattel mortgage for $40. She desired the loan broker to rent her a suitable cottage and ad- vuuce moncy enough on her diamond ring tolift the Des Moines mortgago. She said the ring was tho property of her late hus- band and she prized it dearly. The loan agent examined tho jowel and agreed to muko the loan provided the dia- niond proved to be genuine. He submitted it to u jeweler noar by, who pronounced it to be a good stoue, worth about $100 at_wholo- sale. When tho broker returned to his oflice le made out the usual short timo note, to which the woman appended in delicato chirography tho name of “Mrs. W. A. Foster, Dés Moines.” While the broker was writing the check upon which she was to obtain tho desired money the ring luy on the desk in front of him oniy a few inches from his bands and tho woman stood hus side. Suddenly she reached over and icked up the jewel and pressed it to her ips, murnuring fervently: O, you darling precious thing, how can I part with you, even for so short a timet” Then going around tho tablo sho laid tho ring down again, at least sno bad fondly hoped sho had made tho broker think sho had. But a big suspicion had entered his mind, and_ he picked up tho stoneand cxamined it intently. The gold setting was identically the same, worn in tho same ‘manner, but he imaginod there was @ littlo ' difference in the shape of the faco of the Jewel. He held it down in the shadow of tho desi, and it didu't sparkle as it did a moment vefore. Tne sweet, pleading face of the little widow eloquently preciuded the possibility of such a thing, but the hard-hearted broker shut his eyes and blurted out bis suspicion that the genuine ring had been dexterously changed for a spurious paste affair, and iuformed her tnat ho could not let ber have the check until e had submitted the jewel toa re-examination. The widow flushed deeply, and snatching her ving remarked that therd wero other places where sho could got the money on the prop- erty, suddenly left the oftice. It has been discovered that the womau is an adroit and successful swindler, and tna t her stock in trade consists of the genuino dia- mond ring and a large number of pasto imita- tions, which she I ged in distributing amoug tno loan brokers, Her deseription also tallies exactly with that given of the woman who robbed the casn box at the charity entertainment of the Married Ladies’ Social club Saturday afternoon.

He was promoted to be com- missury sergeant, and then second lieu- tenant, and rose to the rank of captain, Ho participated ln muny of the severest battles of the war, and being mentioned in general orders, was brevetted major THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, by President Lincoln for gallantry at Opequan, Fisher's Hill, and Creck. He served upon the staffs of Generals Hayes, Crook, and Hancock, and was mustered out of the service in the summer of 18 After the war McKinley studied law and settled in Canton, which is now his home.

He was de- feated for re-election to the next con- gress, his district having been somewhat changed hy the legislature.

He, however, would consider no over- tures, and maintained that it would be disloyal to Senator Sherman for him to permit his name to be used.

R — THE BRIGGSVILLE BUGLE ~ STAFE. W. E. Baldwin in Harper's Weekly. Mr. Bernard Bergeois was startled. He jumped visibly and nearly dropped a handful of type he was taking from galley to a form on the ing stone. Tt was incompatible with the dignity of the foreman of the mechanical depart- ment of the Briggsville Bugle to lose his self-control in.this way, and he looked around uneasiiy as a fluffy-haired girlat acase near by sniggerod and mado whispered romark to another compos- itor; then they looked athim and laughed. What made the foreman jump was a whistle from the speaking tube not far from his ear. He did not immedi y obey the summons, and another whistle, more pronounced and longer than the first, made him glue his mouth to the tube and bawl back, ‘“Hello!” “Come into my room at once. you understand?” Mr. Bernard Bergeois thought he un- derstood, and taking off his apron went into the hallway. From an adjoining room he heard the clicking of a type- writer at intervals with a stoady “plunk!” and then with brief intermis- sions of silence. He hesitated before knocking at the closed door, for when the *‘old man” used his machine that way it was an office maxim that he was in & bad temper. 5 And the “old man” was in a bad tem- per when Mr, Bernard Bergeois must- cred up enovgh courage to face him. His eyes gleamed through a pair of gold bowed spectacles, and his hair, which was turning gray, was rumpled over his forehead. He gave the tardy foroman a roprimand for his slowness and then made a remark that quita upsst Mr. Bernard Bergeois. “Scnd everybody home,” he said. “[ don’t think I quite understand, sir,” faltered tho foroman, “itis but a little after 4 o’clock.” “That makes no difference. Can’t yoahear? Send overyone away from hore excoot my office boy. That’s plain enough, isn’t it?” Every now and then the ‘“old man” would absently strike a key with his fin- gor, and then look up and jork out a few words, “But there ave five columns to sot—" began the bewildered foreman. “(ome earlier in the morning, then. I don’t want anybody avound now. How can a man write with these presses out there making such an everlasting noise, and you peopie in the composing room giggling and making the devil of a vacket? Why don’t you have better discipline out there?” Mr. Bernard Bergeois had no answer veady. He was nonplussed. Never be- fore in the course of his professional career had he received such an order as this. *‘Send everybody howe!” Was the **old man” going insane? Did he not know that tomorrow was publication day? “Thereare five columns——"" he began again, send your five columns to the deuce!” ipled the other, furiously. “T don’t care whether there are five coi- umns or fifty, 5o long as every one of you getsout of here. Send me my oftice boy!” Now the offico boy, who, by the w was named Cox, but who was known to his intimate friends as “‘Swipesey,” was much more plensed with the orders he had received than the worthy foreman, He went down into the lower office, and sat in an ensy chair, with his feot on the desk in front of him, and watched the other employes file out with a lordly air “ITope you have a very pleasant time,” he said, politely, to the fuffy haired compositor. “We can run this office alone this afternoon, weo can, I write the eddytorials and sets them up. The old man, he’s writing important letters and can’t be disturbed. Good afternegn,” Cox made himself comfortable in the easicst chair he could find, and amused himself by looking over a pile of changes on o desk at hand. Presently this began to bore him, and he began rummaging around the voom. It was seldom that he was in tho lower office alone, und he amused himself by climb- ing up on a high stool, and taking a pen and ink and scribbling on some of the oftice puper. I ean do this when I am one of the eddytors,” he chuckled to himself, Just then he heard some one coming up the stuirs slowly, and turn in at the door of the oflice. He raised his heud and looked over the desk and saw a woman standing there.

He did not exactly cure to go up stairs on an errand like th it would vuin his dignity, after the remarks he had already mude. Besides, the editor was in a nasty tompor and might throw an ink bottls at him, or something, if disturbed. The speaking tube—there wus his salvation! He jumped from the high stool and yelled the message up. There was no reply, but it answered purpose, and he turned to the lady and said: **Very good; he will soe you when ho is not busy; but you may have to wait.’ This was the first time that Swipesoy had seen the lady face to face, and he started a little, and looked at h win, Then he put his hands behind him and stared at the floor for a moment.

T don’t know very much about it, only I have put two and two togethor. I remomber about six months ago, when he bought the paper, that one day some one n the office and asked him about you. He all at once became very cool, and gaid, in an uneasy way, that you were in Californy for your health. And one day I was cleaning up his desk, and I found a picture there— your picture. I put it back where I found it; and one night, when I had to come back to the office with some copy to leave for the compositors to begin on in the morning, I found him in the dark at his desk, sitting there and. crying, with the picture in his hand. He didn’t know I saw him, but I'did just the same. And that’s why I’m sorry for him; I had never seen a man cry before. And when he’s cross and hard with us people about the office, [ know he ain’t really that way, but that the pain drives him to it, and ho is trying to forget about every- thing,” The office-boy told all this in a grave manner, and his quiotness evidently 1m- pressed itself on the woman in his favor, for she said nothing, and allowed him to go on. “Sometimes I would sce in the other papers that *Mrs. Griswold, wife of Id- itor Griswold of the Briggsville Bugle, is in Sunta Bavbara for her health,’ and then you would be in Tacoma and all sorts of places; but ha never spoke of you in his paper, and you never came here. I have heard talk, too, of a quar- rel you two had, and—of course I have— have surmised that something w; wrong. I don’t know what separated you, or why you left him, or he you, and it isn’t any of my business; but now you have come back to him, I hope you will stay with him.” The woman looked at Swipesey’s in- telligent freckled face, and saw the brightness of his small gray cyes. She was impressed with his red hair and his saubnose. And she humored him by asking: “'Is that what you would advise me to do?” “Cortainly,” answered the boy, with- out hesitation, “That’s what I would adviso you to do.” “But suppose he wants me to come more than half way? Suppose, after ali, he doesn’t want me to stay “That's all right. UIL fix that. T can manage it. He's been waiting for you along time, T guess, but he’s too proud to tell you to come back to him. He’s now writing a letter, and’— v looked at her brightly— “I think it is to you. Sometimes ho has started letters, which I have found in the waste baskot torn or partly burned, beginning, ‘My dearest wife,’ but I don’t think he has ever sent them. However, that is none of my busine: But today what do you think he did. He sent overybody home in_order to be alone that he may write.

Then she started up, seemingly unaware of the boy’s presence. “But [ musn’t ask too much, [ wasin the wrong as much as he.” ‘Now [ teil you what to do,” said Swipesey, with eagerness. —*If you put this into my hands we'll fix it up all right.” His eyes shone, and ho took a few stops foreward, with his small hands ped togother and his face raised hopefully toward the woman. *‘You let me go up-stairs and sort of prepare him.

A American Belle 1ona’s Chamber, Tna_writes from Washington: *Of Miss Leiter, whose father nas a long lease of the Blaine mansion, there is a little story being told now that smacks of the romantic. When in Venico re- cently the Chicago beauty wus shown a palace within the Is of which the famous pillow scene is said to have heen enacted, and was shown a room whero Desdemona slept on that fatal night when Othello took her life. No ono is allowed to oceupy the room, and few show any inclination to do so, for the story runs that at night, when the fatal hour comes, strange things ap- pear to its occupants. The Moor, with jealousy, love and anger on his swarth face, hangs ovor the couch, and for an- other time repeats the evil deed for which his soui still must wandor and know no rest. Miss Leiter became possessed with the desire to sleep in that room. Desde- mona’s couch was a temptation not to be resisted, and the idea that none had used the room for years made her deter- mined to sleep there. It took an im- mense amount of talking, but the pe suasive power that finally proved effec- tive was the usual tonic—American gold and a good round sum at that. Miss Leiter’s mother s not there, but a trusty compunion accompanied her. She, however, was not to be per- suaded to spend a night in that blood- stained chamber, and with the conpan- ion in tho next room, Miss Leiter finally settled herself on Desdemona’s couch. For a time between the rooms there was laughter and joking.
