Just then | I heard the door open, and I crept behind a rock. Peering from my retreat I saw the weman go toward the grove with a pail. | | There was a spring of frosh water there | I again approached the house, and, finding a | large crack at one ‘place between the edges | of the stones, I took out knife and | | chipped briskly away at the clay until 1 heard a clatter inside which warned me | that I had penetrated the wall The dusk had now fallsn and it was nearly dark. | Mother Videaux returned and 1it a candle, |after first closing the door carefully behind her. With my eye to the chink in the wall I could see the interior of the one room fairly | well. It contained a rude table, one chair, a bed of cocoa leaves in a corner, a few 614 baskets and household utensils and a barrel, | Mother Videaux made her tea and thin turzed to the basket of food she had brought from the enclosure. She laid each articls carelessly on the table, but when she came to the loaf Forsythe had given her, smvi | s, my tereed it over and over in her hands, chuck ng in a low, cracked tone, as though appearance amused her. Then she lal carefully by and ate her supper with parent appetite I need not say that T was intensely fin- terested, and watched every motion as she cleared away the table, 1it a short clay pi and then, as I guessed would, took up the 1oaf ‘again. “She leaned over the table and crumbled it carefully with her fingers, morsel by morsel. Soon she uttered an ejaculation mething had fallen upon the table from the crumbs She picked it up d held it to the light, which caught one point of it and sent out an oblique prismatic Tax; It was @ rough diamoni! My heart gave a great bound of deligh had found my clew at last Gdaehie She went through the whole loaf, and lail nine diamonds in a te heap on tha tahio, hen, satisfled there ' were no more, she gathered up the crumbs, put them away, and reaching into the barrel brought out a cocoa- nut. The husk was trin d and it for shipping. She took a knife dug out one of the ‘‘eyes and put diamonds through the opening into the nut Next she filled the “eye” with pitch, as is the custom to preserve the nuts, and holding | it to her ear shook it violently. It made no sound I could bear, the milk in the nut probably preventing the stones from strikin together. Mother Vhleaux laughed gleefully and tossed the nut back into the barrel, She sat down in her chalr again, smoking contentedly, and I was about to beat a re- treat, satisfied that 1 had learned all that I had hoped to, when my attention was ar- rested by seeing her reach suddenly forward and take a small round basket upon her knes, It was a native basket, made of woven cocon leaves and covered over the top by a coarse cloth. She untied one end of fhis fted it uy ntly there glided over her arm a slen- der, silver-gray snake, and a shudder went over me as I recognizéd the deadly asp. It rested upon her shoulder and thrust its flat h before her Kace. Mother Videaux laughed and patted the head and stroked its shining neck lad to get out, Polson?" she crooned, tenderly, as a mother would talk to a child: “'glad to stir about a bit, is you? Hard life, Poison, to be cooped up all day in a basket, WU nothing to stick those pretty fangs into! Take care, deary!” as the snake made a sud- den motion with its graceful head, “‘musn’t strike at mammy, you know. IUIl be worse for you if you acts ugly wi' mammy. There! ll let you stay out to night. You can be my watch dog and keep the niggers away. Ha, ha, ha! No one likes to bother Mother Videaux when her pets is loose. Run away, now, Poison, and we'll get to bed. Shivering with horror at the scene, T drew back, and as my S grew accustomed to the fading light without I picked my way to the corner of the house, turned into the path, and came face to face with Howard Forsythe! If ever a desire to murder showed Itself in a man's faca I read it in his. “What are you doing here?” he demanded, arshly. “Attending to my busines firmly “What have you seen “That is my affair.” He stared at me a moment without speak- Ing, and then broke into a fur. “*You scoundrel!” be cried, with an oath, its ot ap she was and the I answered, Rough diamonds, “Uf 1 thought you were prying Into my airs 1'd kill you as I, would a dog!" | Mr. Forsythe,” I returned, “pray recollect | yourself. You are spbaking to one authorized | by your brother and youself to discover this theft of your diamonds. How much I know | I shall not at present: tsh; put 1 warn you to | be careful what you say if you would not have the whole world, as well as your | brother, know the truth!” Ho controlled hiniself with an effort; 1 could see his face was purple with rage and | his hands clinched tightly together; but he turned on his heel wlthout another word and | marched down the path to the enclosure. I followed as silently, miready regretiing that | I had shown him my ,hand so soon. Thank | heaven, the ship was due in three days! He shut himself uh™in' his room without | even a glance at me, and I went to my own, and wrote a full account of the scene I had | witnessed at the cottage.: Then I knocked at | Herr hlitz's door, ¢ “Well?"" he cried. { “Come In!" I entered | and asked him if he swéudd kecp a small par- | cel for me till T wept-“aiay. He rolled bis| eyes toward me withdut’a spark of intelli- | gence in them. He was already drunk, and a glass at his elbow; so I thrust my packet, | ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS AND CONTRAGT. ‘ors for electrio lght and motor plants and all kinda of electrical construction.

It is not what T had a right to -expect, but 1 think we understand each other,” and without more ado he turned his back and walked away. I reflected that although he might under- stand me I could not say that I understood him, or his Intentions, and in spite of my- self 1 grew nervous as tho day wore away and I saw that he studiously avoided me. I made a farewell call on Mr. and Mrs, Delby that evening, and when they discovered 1 was (o leave the next day they managed With an effort to forget one another partially and entertain me to the best of their re- sources. When I left them it was already dark, and as the office building seemed de- serted I decided to go to bed. Going to my room I wrote up my dlary, partially packed my valise, and then, not fes!- ing sleepy, 1 read for an hour in an old novel I had found at the office. Bven after putting out the lamp and crawling into bed felt nervous and wakeful, and it was long time before I fell into a doze. I woke abruptly, with a sense of impending danger, and openéd my eyes The moonlight shone full through the cur- taivless window and fell upon the door op- pesite me. 1 could discern all objects within the little roam nearly as well as by day, for the bed was beside the window and therefore in shade, while the soft light flooded the space beyond and rendered me invisible to any one standing in the doorway. Some one was standing there now, for I saw his form outlined against the frame, and the door stood half open. While I was de- bating whether or not to cry out the form disappeared a moment, ‘and then, returning, advanced a step and placed some object upon the floor. My eyes followed pach motion; and as he stepped back T was horrified to recog- nize in the object a small round native basket, similar to Mother Videaux's. This one also was covered with a coarse eloth and my hair arose with terror when I saw the Intruder reach out his arm and fumble with the knots at the side.

It was made to order from plans furnished by City Elec'rictan and electriclans who have eoen it say th is much simpler and more offective than any which had previously been Inventol. The switchboard is a very simple aftair. It consists of a wo-den roller about a foot in diameter and nearly six feet lorg. A strip of copper about two fnches wide extends from end to end and s crossed at r'ght angles by a long row of narrow strips of copper which aro attached to the roller. These strips closely resemblo the reeds of an crgan. The electric current passes through them and the circult 1s comple‘el touch the of brass on the roller. o this cireult is intact every lamp cn the ¢ reult is lighted, but as the roller revolves (he nariow strips pass off from the brass on the roller and for an instant each light is oxtinguishied. A spiral strip of brass is wound around the roller, be ginning at one end of the firat strip and wind- | 0 around until it reachos the opp si e end. after having pasced clear around (e roller. The resuit |s that as tho roller revolves first ona and then the next of the narrow copper keys touch the spiral strip and make the eir cuit, continuing in this way unt'l the rcller { as turned clear around, when the straight strip comus again into touch and all the nar- row keys are in the circuit The spiral strip is just wide enough so that four of the keys touch it at once. The re | sult is that as the first key touches it t first lamp in the circuit is lighted. As the roller revolves the sec:nd lamp is Fghted and %0 on until the fifth lamp c>mes into the cir cult, when the first one goos out. This con tinues 2ll arcund the circuit, a rear lamp be ing extinguisted as each new light is acded until the straight strip is ogain reached and 1l the lights come Into play. Between this and the beginn'ng cf the spral strip there 1s a short space, o that all lamps ko out for a sccond, after which they are again ligh ed and extinguished in succession s belore. The roller is revolved by electricity, so that all the operator has to do is to handle the device which resulates the colors of the lights. Mr. Schurg expects to have his in- ventlon patented, as ho considers it a great improvement on any similar device which has been previously used DLING THE LIG TS -—— naitive Thing on Barth, This in a state of health Let it become overstrained or weakened, and the sensitivencss Is increased tenfold.

Nebraska and the west promise to derive material benefit from a war that is now on between the Chicago Board of Trade men and the owners of elevators In Chicago that are not tied up with the great grain dealing center in the Board of Trade building. Board of Trade men have a line of eleva- tors and warehouses under their control and one of the requirements of the board is that grain bought for future delivery must be d livered to these elavators. Armour and other heavy buyers of grain own elevators of their own and do not rely upon the aid or favor of the Board of Trade men. These owners haye been buying grain for their own elevators in direct defiance of the mandate of the board Grain shippers in different parts of the west have made complaints against the Board of Trade elevators and have declared in favor of disinterested weighmen at all public ele- vators and refuse to be bound by the board regulations. One of the first effects of the split is a boy- cott which has been ordered by the Illinois grain shippers against the Board of Trade. Elevators which have been declared “‘irregu- lar” by the Board of Trade are in the fleld for business in earnest and the grain owners of Nebraska and the west have a chanca for better prices, while the fight lasts, and every indication now is that the fight will be to a finish, e B T Troubled with Periodical Dysentary, Henry P.

AL CRASHED INT ra in a Boy an Bie Grief on o Crowded Thoroughfar Master Gerald Doherty, the 13-year-old son of Rev. Dr. Doherty, had a narrow escape from death yesterday morumg, and as the result of the accident was taken home with a number of severe bruises and painful con- tusions on his body. W. B. Michael's carrlage, containing women and driven by a coachman, was com- ing up Farnam street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth, as the boy was coasting down the bill on his bicycle at considerable speed. Unable to turn, he crashed into the horse, which was frightened and jumped entirely over the rider and bicycle. The heavy wheels of the carriage passed over the bi- cycle and then over the prostrate boy. The machine was crushed out of shape. The boy was carried into the Merchants hotel and a physician called. He made a hasty examination and pronounced no broken bones and nothing of a serious nature. The rumor soon got afloat on the streets that a boy was killed and in a short space of time there was a crowd of several hundred curious people congregated about the hotel. After being given stimulunts the boy was taken home, two A SR Clennliness and Health, Ladies will find Allen’s Hygienic Fluid all that Is desired as a cleansing and healing Vaginal wash and injection.

The date was changed to an earlier day, so that the nire performances which it is intended to give could be run off beforc the opening of the fair. September 6 is to be the jubilee day at_the state fair, so the University elub d cided that it would furnish an -entrtain ment in the evening for the many visitors and traveling men who have declared their intention of being in Omaha on that day. G. E. Raymond, who represents Paine & Sons in the west, says that he expects to sce the state fair make a change in the tide of affairs in Omsha, and that he is going | to put on a show at the beach which will be a_boom to the town and which will call in thousands from the neighboring towns. One thousand dollars worth of fireworks are used each night, while 250 negroes en- tertain the populace’ with cake walks, buck dances and wing dances.

Have ing como to this conclusion, 1 discussed the ways and means with a Turkish pasha of my, acquaint who got me the necessary ine troduction, and in less than & month 1 obs tained the post of governess to four little children in the harem of one of the best natured Egyptians in tho tnterior of Egypt. he word “harem,” which has to English cars such an ominous sound, simply means In Arabic “females,” or “women.” 1 belleve tho original meaning was “forbidden.” For an eastern to speak of wumen, as women, i3 considered highly improper. He must call them harcema. The harem of a man s, therefore, the apartments apart for the sole use of the women and their children. These are usually the whole of the first floor of the palace. No man may enter but the husband, and sometimes certain of the male relatives, but 1 have known a caso where tho Yiead of the harem would admit none of his male relatives into his harem. The harem usually consists of the wives, to the number of four; female slaves (these T speak of wers biack), and female free women, who were natives of Lower Egypt. The slaves are the husband’s property, and he may use them as coneublines or not, as he desires It is considered indelicate for a woman to allow any one but her husband to see her hair, and unclean for any to grow upon her face or body. Indoors, therefore, if she re= spacts horsolf she wears a head dress which hides the hair, and is by no means unbecoms Ing. When cut in the carriage she allows only tho eyes to be seen The harem lady {s bound to be, from her bringing up, of a low type. Her only edus cation is the idea to be the plaything of some rich man—that rich man, of course being her logal husband. From babyhood she Is taught certain exercises of her bedy, which, to any pure-minded European, aro dis- gusting. She has no life outside of her Lath, her body, the visits or her husband, and, in a very mild way, her children. For recreation, a eunuch will take her for a drive, to call on another harem in the harem closed carriage, and for amusement a dancing girl will be brought into the harem, or, if the hcuse is in mourning, a sheikh will chant the Koran in the men's quarters, when the women gather on the harem terrace to listen. The room in which the dancing took place was a large entrance room in the harem, about sevauty, feet by sixty. Of this room were all the bedrooms. Each bedroom opened into this room, and (here wes no communication to the hedrooms except through this room. It was furnished in the usual Oriental style heavy silk carpets aud curtains, divans ail round the walls, floor cushions on the floors, and a marble table in the center. Tha Ghawazee, or dancing girls, would bs sent for, and, with much clatter of shoes, would waddle into this_room, removing their out- door clothing. Coffee, cigarettes and cognaa would be handed them-—the latter, as they, say, to remove tha veil of modesty from be- fore their eyes! We would all then recline on the divans, with cigarettos and coffes to hand, and_the slaves would fan us. An ex-dancing woman, who had grown too old to dance, would begin to beat the darabukeli, or drum, another would produce a most_monotonous discord, in excellent time, on the kemengeh, a siringed instrument, while a third would blow (hrough a sort of flute, The great point to each of them, so it seemed to me, was the time, which the performer on the darabukeh ssemed to have at her own disposal. When they had fairly warmed to (heir work a Ghawazee would get up, and, with a cigarette in her mouth, begin to dance. What this dance is like it would be difficult for me to describe. A’ series of wriggles of the body to the time of the music, which begins slowly, gradualy, getting faster and faster, Ll one is fairly dazed, when the dancer suddenly throwa herself on her back on a floor cushion, all the while wriggling to the music, which gets slower and slower till it stops. The dance usually lasts about half an hour, but I bave seen one Ghawazee who kept it up for an hour and a half, only stopping to wipe the perspira- tion from her face. One of these exhibitions is quite enough to disgust any Europeam woman, no matter how broad minded, but whenever the dancing girls come to the harem it Is one of the duties of the governesy to be present with iier pupils, that the littie girls imay learn to imitate tho movements. Should one of the ladies be indisposed the romains in her room. A slave places her ship-ship (the satin slippers worn in the housc) outstde her door. Then we would all go Into her room, sit upon divans or floor cushions, drink the tiny cups of black e ffes and smoke unlimited cigarottes, and iscnss the good qualities of the patlent in low tones. If she were suffering pain one of tha ladies would say: “God, who sent It you, help you to bear it when we would all respond: “‘By the prophet your talk is good.” Then another silence would be brokan by some one remarking: “Suffering was mado by God, all praise to His name! but it was meant for glants. But God also made death. Death is the finer work of the two.” This latter saying was a_very common one, and my pupils often made use of it to me if I had ‘a toofMache or headache. 1t was ale ways quoted as though it were quite original. The calm way they would leave the slok room, after assuring the occupant that *if she died the world would be a perfect blank to them,” and then stolidly walk into the next room and atuse her roundly, and with a flerceness which was horrible, rather astons isked me, and showed me how little real sympathy’ they had one with another. Their jealousy of one another was fiendish in ite intensity, and I sympathized with the pasha when he said to me how happy Englishmen must be with no wives to quarrel oves them! The great saving clause to tie fife in the harem for a European I the children, They are the most perfectly charming and stralght- forward little beings imaginable. How can [ tell you of all their little tendernesses and politeneses? There was no acting os coquetry with them—they simply did not une and it. From the youngest to the eldest, their sense of logic was scute. Request one of these little darlings to do anything out of the ordinary routine and he will at onea ask the loglc for it. If you ean give him a logical reason you may rest assured (hat that particular request will be obeyed alwaya without further comment What strikes me s, what could we not make of these little men and women if wa had them from babyhood? How can we exe pect great things of a nation of men who are brought up and pase the most impressionabla time of their lives with these harem women rests? It Is easler for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
