After visiting Pompeii last week, he was led as a lamb to the slaughter by the guid« into a museum where are sold articles made of the lava to be found in endless quantity about Vesuvius. Tempted by his evil genius, he inquired the value of a dozen unmounted medallions. Before he received full information as to that point h6 paid fifty francs (about $10) for them, to learn from Mrs. Talmage when he came home, and Poll of glee exhibited his marvelous purchase, that on Fulton street, Brooklyn, the $ame articles could be had for a quarter apiece, with a good sized discount on an order for a whole dozen.

It would be time wastod to enter into my business transactions with Colonel llinks. Suffice it to say that mv ardent wish was realized, and that in less than a month from my arriving in San Diego I entered into possession of the beautiful property. Doubtless, it was a liazanlous undertaking for one who knew nothing whatever of the business, but what hazard is too great for a man .whose object is to win tne woman he loves? That the money I invested was not my own, did not lessen the risk I ran, but increased it; for, unless I could show a reasonable probability of repaying Sir Edmund's loan, I could not demand Edith's hand. However, I had every reason to believe tliat Colonel llinks was a gentleman, and an honest and conscientious man of business; added to this, I had confidence in my own perseverance, energy, and strength, and that buoyant feeling of hope with which nearly everyone who breathes the healthful air of this delightful continent seems to be inspired. Early in November I received a letter from Sir Edmund. Among other things he wrote: Tis not the velvet, silk nor Eatin, Poised gracefully upon her head. Tis not the trimming "this or that hi," Nor blended blossoms white and red. Of that peace beyond the strife? Neither heavy black walnut oounters nor costly bills of fare printed In two colors and frescoed with Boft boiled egg can make a successful hotel.

[Copyright, 1889, by American Press Association.] Rome, Not. 13.—Shortly after our arrival in Rome we learned that on Sunday, at 3 in the afternoon, there was to be a beatification, prior to his being canonized, of a French martyr who had sacrificed his life in China. The services of beatification, we were further informed, would take place in one of the large chapels of St Peter's, and the pope would be present and take an active part in them. This last was the crowning attraction, as bis holiness now rarely appears in public, and tickets of admission were exceedingly hard to procure. These had been issued by the papal authorities free of charge, but commanded a considerable price, so eager was the inquiry for them. Five were bought for our party, including Dr. Talmage, who would be able to attend after fulfilling his engagement in the morning of Sunday. An hour before the time appointed we arrived at St Peter's, jrhere we waited in the front rank of over ten thousand people seeking admission. A detachment of the Swiss papal guard, all stalwart, fine looking fellows, dressed in bright uniforms, held the crowd in check until a very Then rojoloe when your fate smiles upon yon. And beneath the shadows of woe Forget not the joy with the dark alloy, But just at that moment her fine ear caught the rustle of a woman's dress, and catching sight of Edith, who was entering from the dining-room, she started back. He thinks of a bright arch of roses, Where plighted lovers soon will stand; And when the ceremony closes No happier pair will grace the land. "What in the proceedings of today impressed you most, doctor?' asked a lady from Brooklyn. "The earnestness of the people," was his reply. Being asked what he thought of the services, he said: "Iamnotenough of the ecclesiastic to understand all this cerenfony concerning the beatification of a martyr. If, however, half of what they say in regard to this particular martyr is true, the Lord made him a saint long before this. He was, as I understand it, a missionary in China, giving his life to the poor and destitute unfcU he was soned. Then every day be was taken from prison and cruelly beaten until the time came for his martyrdom." Louis Klopsch. Mrs. Talmage often finds herself compelled to remonstrate with her husband on his extravagance, for he would buy, ■if restraint were not forthcoming, every book that has any bearing on religion or on the trip, and every trinket offered* that in any way is associated with places visited.

I see other men with their fl»ppy families getting some good out of life, while I am slowly withering and my heart is frozen. If one American boy can be scared out of speculating with other people's money by knowing just how miserable I am, I shall feel a little better about it.

Twice I have blown out the gas and fastened the doors and windows of my room, but some old memory of childhood has made me take up the old load again and go on.

He sighed, and for some moments sat in thoughtful Silence; then he said. "We must not break her heart, my dear fallow—we must leave her some hope, as it is necessary that for some time you Bhould be separated, it is right that you both should be free to form other engagements, at the same time there may be a tacit understanding that, should you succeed in making a position for yourself in a reasonable space of time, and then are both still warmly disposed toward each other, the engagement shall be renewed. • "There is no necessity for your having a large fortune, but it is essential, as I think, and as vou happily think also, that you should be able to provide yourself with the necessities of life.

The news with regard to Van Hoeck did not add greatly to the mystery in which this strange man was already involved; but the postscript was a new source of perplexity to me. I knew no one of the name of Furnival; I Could not recollect having spoken to anyone of Sir IMmiinrt while T was in London. How, then, gould this Mr. iurnival have known where to apply for my address? I expected a letter from him to clear up this matter, but no letter came. A few daw later I received a letter addressed to me at Monken Abbey, and readdressed in Sir Edmund's hand. Turning to the signature I found it was from Brace. It was dated October 15th, Petersville. Nevada county. The Judgethen was in California, within a day's journey of me. I was not surprised at this, knowing his partiality for the state: but it was irreconcilable with the supposition that he and Van Hoeck had the diamond. He wrote thus: "HI hare all the kens searched before the morning." "That is part of your business, of course. At the same time, I would suggest that it is of fur more importance to watch the men themselves. Van Hoeck would not trust the diamond to the keeping of ordinary thieves' receivers; it would he safer merelv laid under a plant in tne garaens aown oy tne aocs, xuu may be sure he has the ingenuity to suggest a safe place for Its keeping.

So he did. . Tho landlord came In. He was a large man with a corrugated brow. He was not muoh of a talker and wore hid hat into the dining-room when he wanted to como in there at all. Ha wondered what the trouble was. The traveling man said he couldn't eat his steak. The landlord heard the case quietly, then he ate a magcnta-coated cookie from the table and said as he took a large, oldfashioned Colt's revolver from hi* panier: -__ _ _ _ a ffwbujK crowd was admitted at their right and left. Within a few moments the chapel was filled with a dense throng. People crowded each other to such an extent that many individuals were fairly wedged in and were utterly incapable of moving an inch in any direction. As we had ascertained that the pope would walk up the niiddle aisle between the two rows of Swiss guards, we endeavored to get as close to the soldiers as possible, and by persistent effort we succeeded in getting into the front row of the crushing crowd. The chapel, 1t appeared to me, was about throe hundred feet long, and the people were divided by intervening soldiers into two huge throngs, facing each other the entire length of the interior, each crowd fringed off in front by the brilliant uniforms of the soldiers. At 3, papal officers and chamberlains, archbishops, bishops and foreign representatives at the Vatican came straggling in. By this time, as you must sup. pose, the temperature of the air in the chapel had reached fever heat, and the vast concourse was literally a maun of perspirjng humanity. Inquiring of a bystander, the hour being now considerably past that announced, whether the pope was usually not punctual in filling his engagements, I was told that in earlier years, when his physical health was good, he was a model of punctuality, always promptly on time, but this had been less and less the case with increasing years and bodily infirmities. Of these the reoollection was a painful one, that on the public occasion preceding this in which he had participated, his weakness was so great that he had to be carried in to the services and fainted while assisting in them. There was no telling this time when he would arrive, but it would be probably not much before 4 o'clock. . At half-past 8, the perspiration was streaming down Dr. Talmage's face, in full view of a great many people, for he was one of the tallest persons in the crowd. The circumstanoes of delay became more and more distressing, and every now and then the guards permitted people who could not bear the suffocating pressure to pass out between their majestic ranks. The sturdy American preacher held his ground without flinching, and beguiled the time by getting up a.conversation with an officer of the Swiss troops, who could convene fluently in the English language.

Of Rome and its wealth of antiquities, he spoke with much information and more enthusiasm than is* usually seen in diplomatic gentlemen. The Colosseum was a prominent subject of conversation. Speaking of It," Dr. Talmage said: "An idea has occurred to me with reference to this colossal work of antiquity. A great deal has been said about duplicating the Eiffel tower at the American exhibition of 1899, but it seems to me that it would be a far greater idea to duplicate the Colosseum at Rome. This would be a means of classical education for the whole nation. The presence of that structure would be a forcible and continual reminder to all nations of the blessings of Christian civilization as compared with the heartless cruelties of the most refined heathen civilization, now happily banished from the face of earth forever.

Mistress—Did yon get them? What did he say? I have purposely abstained from dwelling UDon my love affairs, for if I entered into them at all, my feelings would lead me to dilate upon the delights of my brief wooing, to the exclusion of the graver matters which form the subject of this book. For the same reason I shall pass over the bitter grief of our parting. I will only say that Edith's last words awakened courage in my sinking heart. I could form no satisfactory theory with recard to the Great Heeoer robbery, but I was disposeu to regard van nuecs as the least culpable agent concerned in it. It was impossible to tell how the rob? bery affected this mysterious man. As I have said, during the investigation he sat perfectly motionlesl and perfectly silent. His race wore the inscrutable expression of a death-mask. Sir Edmund had no sympathy with him after learning from me the particulars relating to the adventures of the morning. When we entered the library from the dining-room, where our interview had taken place, we found Van Hoeck sitting where we had left him. Ellen (mournfully)—Sure, ma'am, he did nothing but lafT. Firmness is aot confined to landlords ayether-. They had a clergyman at St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, years ago who was supposed to get a good salary, but ho didn't get it He got kind words and a swarm' of bees, gentle ecomiums and a prime supper, but he got very little money. The church was pretty well fixed, for the building was given by a wealthy man and the pulpit was brought from England at a cost of 92,500. Mistress (much surprised) — Why, what did you tell him? ween my Saviour and myself. Louis Klopscb »» This was sound advice, and I recognized the importance of conforming with it: but I am the worst actor in the world where my feelings are concerned, and my very soul revolted against the men who had plotted together to take my life from the mete inynsate greed of gain. I felt more .bitterly toward Brace than toward his accomplice, not because I thought Van Hoeck less guilty, but because I had felt more kindly toward the Judge, to whom I seemed linked by the brotherhood of labor, I kept out of his way when we returned to the library, and avoided looking at him, lest he should perceive that I was no longer his friend. But I knew he had his keen eyes upon me, and was reading the aigns of my newly born aversion, ana this made my acting worse. When the officer had completed his in? vestimation, he said sagaciously, as he closed his note-book: "It aint no use promisin without you are got it right inter yer to perforin, "but I will allow that I aint goin to chuck up the cards before Ive made you shake my hand and acknowledge Ive played square.

One cannot possibly believe that it was he who robbed and attempted to murder you. But whom are we to suspect, if not him? If he were not guilty, why should he try to conceal tho leather case which might lead to its recovery? There is a fascination in this subject which overcomes my wish to drop it. It is like the fifteen puzzle that drove half the world mad some years ago. '•Van Hoeck still wanders about tho woods through the night.

"I have sufficient information for my present purpose.

Sir Edmund accompanied him to the door. When he returned and took the seat be had occupied at tne neaa 01 tne long table, Brace rose, and placing himpelf at the opposite end, inclined his head first to the baronet, then to the right and to the left, "Squire and genleman of this committee," be said, "1 don't want to speak dis. respectful of the polioe, but the intelligent officer who has jast left as, as if he'd got hold of the tail end of a rocket, and meant follerin' it right up, and holdin' tight on till it bust, ain't goin' to do any good for hisself or anyone else in this business. The big diamond's lost, end he ain't going to flndit in twenty-four hours, nor in twenty-four years. Ef it was a haystack, I don't say but what, with the help of Providence—and a good lot of it —he might be up to the job he's onder« took. But it ain't a haystack.

End theee bein'mv views, it stands to reason that I ain't going to hang about here lookin' at the place where I've come to grief, like an old female what's slipped off the sidewalk on a bit of orange-peel. With your permission, Squire, I'm goin' away right off." "I cannot stop yon, Brace, even if X wished to," replied Sir Edmund, who, be it observed, knew nothing of the suspicion againat the Judge. "I am inclined to think that you will be happier in seeking a new fortune than in lingering about with the faint hope of recovering the old. If the diamond is found yew will hear of it wherever you may be. Are you going to look for another diamond?" "No, squire; I'm going to find that, please God," Brace replied, then, after a moment's pause, he said, "There's a matter of business to finish up before I go, sir; all the money I have in my pocket belongs to you." "It is a loan; keep it. Brace—keep it until you are in a position to pay me; and I hope, for your sake, that time may not be far hence."

A movement throughout the chapel, which everybody who has stood on Broadway waiting for a procession to pass can realize, meant that the pope was coming. About twenty-five cardinals preceded him in the procession, of which he was the central figure, as many following him as he walked between the raqks of the soldiery. Every head bared as the kindly, sweet-faced old man, smiling pleasantly all tfee way, passed along, pronouncing benedictions as he went, bestowed impartially oo the multitudes standing in compact masses to his right and left, and on the favored nuns and secular magnates—of whom I believe I have nqt spoken before— who occupied seats in what a profane pen might call the boxes. He raised his bands, wafting paternal blessings in svery direction, excepting when one rod another of the faithful, in an eo(tacy of devotion, fell kneeling before lim and fervently kissed his hands or ihe robe he wore. The pope seemed xDth pleased and touched at these expressions of devout veneration. His face beamed :*h ' heavenly smile, cordingly until a future occasion. This, however, probably will never cone, certainly not to Dr. Talmage, who says the world is so large and there is so much to be seen in it that no one can afford to visit a place twice for sight see* ing. The doctor, however, lias found it within the possibilities of our itinerary and due Sabbath observance to visit the Mamertine prison three times. He has made accurate measurements and draughted a careful diagram of this place. Before leaving Rome he also managed to break away a piece of the ancient, time-honored mortar of the historic ruin, which he has labeled and dated in museum style. The Mamertine prison greatly impressed him. "Oh," he said, "that our church members could come here and see with their own eyes what Paul must have suffered, and then go home and in a measure relive his life. The trouble is, we get our religion toe cheap, and too often value it at the prict we pay for it." From the Mamertine prison we startec for the road to Ostia, the same which St Paul had to take 'his to "If you know that we were discussing that, you know all. It is useless to make an explanation that you would not believe. I have nothing to say." He groped his way to a chair and threw himself into it.
