Bora was her sister's antithesis, save
that both were brunettes. She was sim
ply a lovable, docile, impressionable,
pretty girl She adored her mother and
worshiped her sister, whom she caHed
"The Queen." Dora was only 17. There
had been three boys born between the
sisters, but they had died in infancy.
The two girls were in. the sumptuous
parlor of their apartment, Emily lying
on the soft lounge, while Dora sat near
her in a cozy armchair, which made her
look almost a little girl.
"Queen, did yon enjoy the opera last
night?" asked Dora.
"Oh, yes," replied Emily, "but you
know, my dear, comic opera is comic
opera, and all is Eaid. "
"It's all very fine for yon to talk in
that patronizing way, Queen, about
amusement, but it is different with me.
I havo not outgrown tho theater yet I'll
tell yon what I have been thinking of
seriously"
"Seriously," laughed Emily, pinch
ing her pretty sister's cheek. "Why,
you sly little rogue, you couldn't be
serious if you tried."
"Oh, couldn't II But listen. Iam
going'to ask Bob"
"Bob?"
"Mr. Mitchel, you know. I told him
last night that I mean to call him Boh
after this, and he kissed me and said it
was a bargain."
"Kissed you, did he? "Well, Miss Im
pudence, I like thatl"
"So did L But you need not scold be
cause you know what Bob says is law.
You are as much afraid of him as well,
as all the rest of the men are of you.
But I haven't told you what I am going
to do. I want Bob to take me with you
both whenever you go to the theater. "
"Oho! So that is your little plot, is
it?"
"Yes! What do yon think of it?"
"What do I think of it? Now I shall
surprise you. I think it is an excellent
idea. ( I lovo you very much, my little
sweetheart sister, and shall be only too
glad to see you have as much pleasure
s your heart longs for. "
"You darling Queen !" and with an
impetuous bound the younger girl was
on her knees with her arms around
Emily, raining kisses upon her lips.
This effusive show of affection Emily
received with evident pleasure, for,
howover. dignified she could bo in her
bearing, leaving tho impression that she
was cold, in reality she was warm heart
ed to a degree which would have sur
prised the gossips.
Nestling her head in the folds of her
sister's soft silk gown, thus hiding her
face, Dora said timidly:
"May I tell you something, Queen?"
"Ha 1 Yea mischief, what have you
to confess now?"
"I have invited a man to call here,"
replied Dora, suddenly raising her head
and speaking with a different touch in
her tones.
.'Is that all?" laughed Emily. "Who
is the monster? Where did you meet
him?"
"I have met him several times at aft
ernnou teas. The last time lie asked me
if he might call, and I toldhim he could
do so this afternoon when I thought yon
would be at home. Was it very wrong?"
"Well, Dora, I don't think it was ex
actly proper, but perhaps it may be all
right, since you have met him at several
of our friends' houses. But what is his
name?"
"Alphonse Thauret."
"A Frenchman?"
"Yes, though ho speaks English with
only a very slight accent."
"I don't like Frenchmen. I know it
is preposterous prejudice, but I never
meet one without thinking him a possi
ble adventurer. With their soft, syco
phantic ways, they remind me of cats,
and I expect them to show their claws
at any moment. However, pet, perhaps
your Frenchman will not call, and
then"
"Oh, but he will ! He said he would
como this afternoon. That is why I
have been so nervous. I was afraid yon
might be going out, and"
"No; I will bo hero to protect you.
Besides I expect Bob at any moment.
Ho said he would come about noon, and
it is after that alroady. Perhaps that is
ho now. Yes ; three rings !"
"Oh, so Romeo and Juliet have sig
nals ! But jump up, Queen. Ho must
not catch us lying down and 'spoon
ing.' "
A moment later Mr. Mitchel entered,
to find both girls seated in the most
dignified manner, reading novels. "Walk
ing over to Emily, he stooped and kissed
her lightly on the forehead, whispering,
"My Queen. " Next he patted Dora on
the head as ouo would pat a child.
"Emily, I have taken the liberty of
telling a friend of mine that he might
call here. You do not mind?"
"Why, of courso not, Roy. " She had
made this name for him by eliminating
the first syllable of his second name,
Leroy. She told him that thus she could
call him King without heralding it to
the world. Almost immediately tho bell
sounded again, and Mr. Barnes was in
troduced. Mr. Mitchel presented him to
tho two ladies, and then devoted him
"self to Dora, thus leaving the detective
perfectly free to converse with Emily.
Being well educated and having trav
eled through England early in'life, Mr.
Barnes soon inndo himself at ease and
talked like any society man. Presently
Mr. Mitchel took Dora to the window
and stood there looking out and chat
ting, apparently absorbed and unobserv
ant of the others. Mr. Barnes decided
that this was his opportunity.
"Pardon me, Miss Remsen, and let
the interest of a collector excuse the im
pertinence of my noticing that beautiful
pin which you wear. Cameos, I think,
are too little appreciated nowdays. They
are passed by, while statuettes bring
fancy prices. Yet does it not require ex
quisite skill to carve so small an ob
ject?" "I agree with you, Mr. Barnes, and
am not at all angry with you for admir
ing my pin. Yon may look at it if yon
wish. ' ' Saying which she took it off and
handed it to him. It was the facsimile
of those which Mr. Mitchel wore as but
tons, save that it bore tho image of
Shakespeare. The cameo was mo-anted
in a gold frame, and surrounded by dia
monds made a beautiful ornament
"Yon would never ggew, Mr. Barneg.
that that was once an ordinary button r
Mr. Barnes assumed an expression of
surprise as though the idea was entirely
new to him. All he said was :
"It may havo been a buttonbut sure
ly never an ordinary one."
"Well, no, not an ordinary one, of
course. I suppose you know that I am
engaged to your friend?"
Mr. Barnes assented with a bow, and
Emily continued :
"Shortly after we became engaged I
went to Europe, and while thero I came
across a jeweler who produced the most
"JC6St one? Kothat is, I don't know."
beautiful carvings in cameo and intaglio.
I ordered a set made to bo used for but
tons." "All similar to this?"
"Similar, but not identical. -This one
has Shakespeare's head. The others rep
resent Romeo and Juliet"
Mr. Barnes determined upon a bold
stroke. Taking the button ffrom his
pocket and handing it to Emily ho said
quietly i
'"Here is a cameo of Juliet Perhaps
it may interest you?"
"Why, this is extraordinary I It is one
of my set!"
"One of yours. Why, havo you lost
one? How many did you have?"
"There were seven, including this one
of Shakespeare. The other six" Here
she stopped mid colored deeply.
"Miss Remsen, you think that is one
of the original set. If so, of course it is
yours, andlshould be too glad torestore
it to you. But havo you lost one?"
"Lost one? No that is, I don't
know." She seemed much confused and
looked intently at the button. Suddenly
her wholo expression changed, and with
her self possession fully restored she
startled Mr. Barnes by saying: "I am
mistaken. This is not one of the orig
inal set Yet it is very similar. "
Mr. Barnes did not know what to
think. Did she divine' that there might
be some danger in admitting that there
was a seventh button still? Had that
matchless schemer Mitchel sent her a
note warning her to say that thero were
but seven in tho original set? He could
not decide at once, but hazarded one
more stroke.
"Miss Remsen, Ihavo seen your por
trait, and it struck mo that that button
is a copy of it What do you think?"
Tho girl once more became confused
and stammered, "I don't know."
Then suddenly, and with complote
composure again, sho said: "Yos; I
think you are right. This is a copy
from my picture.- Tho portrait was
made last summer, and a'ffer,ward I al
lowed the artist to exhibit it I think
photographs were made from it, and
possibly some' cameo cutter has used it
for his work."
This was ingenious, but not satisfac
tory to Mr. Barnes, for ho knew that it
was far from probable that another gem
cutter should have used the picture and
then have called it Juliet Besides, it
would havo been too great a coincidence
to make a button of it He decided,
therefore, that tho girl was doing the
best she could to invent a plausible ex
planation to a question which Mr.
Mitchel himself had simply refused to
answer. Not wishing to arouse any sus
picion in her mind that he doubted her
word, ho replied quickly:.
"That is very likely, aud surely he
could not have chosen a better face for
his subject. "
"Mr Barnes, " said Emily, "you of
fered just now to give me this, thinking
that I had last it Of course I should
not accept a present from one whom I
havo had the pleasure of knowing for so
short a timo, but you are Mr. Mitchel's
friend, and as I would really:.prefer not
to have my portrait in the bauds of
strangers I accept your gift with
thanks."
This was entirely unexpected. When
Mr. Barnes had made the remark that
he would be glad to restore her her own,
he had done so feeling safe, because to
obtain it she would need to admit that
she had lost it Now it seemed that she
had deprived him of his piece of evi
dence. He did not know what to say
when Mr. Mitchel walked across to them
and remarked pleasantly :
""Well, Emily, do you find my friend
Mr. Barnes entertaining?"
"Mr. Barnes has been most agreeable,
Roy, and, see, he has actually given mo
a present, "saying which she handed tho
button to Mr. Mitchel, across whose
countenance Mr. Barnes thought he saw
a fleeting smile of triumph pass.
"I am proud of you, Emily. You
command homage-wherever you extend
your influence. Do you know, Mr. Barnes
refused to give this caineo to me only
this morning. You can guess why I
wanted it"
"Because it has my picture copied on
it?"
"Exactly. Mr. Barnes, allow me to
add my thanks to those of Miss Remsen.
You can readily appreciate why we pre
fer to have thiB bauble in our own pos
session?" Mr. Barnes thought that ho could. He
saw that he was fairly caught, and that
he could do nothing without making a
scene. He met a glance from Mr. Mitch
el which we knew was meant to re
mind him of his promise not to annoy
Miss Remsen. He had about decided
that he had been a fool to make such a
promise and to have visited tho place at
all when he suddenly changed his mind
as a servant announced:
"Mr. Alphonse Thauret" j
Immediately tho detective remember
ed the name. It was upon the card given
to him by the Frenchman who had left
the train at Stamford. He was watching
Mr. Mitchel when the newcomer was
thus unexpectedly announced, and he
thought he detected a glance of displeas
ure. Were these two men acquainted,
accomplices perhaps?
"Mr. Mitchel, let me present Mr.
Thauret," said Dora.
"I havo had the pleasure of meeting
the gentleman before," replied Mr.
Mitchel, and with a stiff bow he crossed
to tho side of Emily as though to pre
vent an introduction to her. This of
coarse was impossible, and Mr, Mitchel
was 'plainly annoyed. Emily stepped
forward, extended her hand to Mr.
Thauret, and then, turning, presented
him to Mr. Barnes, who had arisen, and
who simply bowed.
"Ah I Mr. Barnes," said the French
man, 'T am delighted, to meet you
again."
"Why, do you know Mr. Barnes also?"
cried Dora, greatly surprised.
"Who does not know Mr. Barnes, the
celebrated detective?" He said this in
that extremely polite tone so much as
sumed by his race when inclined to be
most complimentary. Yet Mr. Barnes
thought that he had somo sinister mo
tive in thus proclaiming his connection
with the police. Was it to prevent him
from calling upon these women again?
If so, he failed to make the desired im
pression upon Dora, for that young
woman seemed fairly enraptufed.
"A detective?" said she. "Are yon
, really the great Mr. Barnes?"
"I am a detective, but scarcely a
great one."
"Oh, but you are, you aro! I read all
about the wonderful way in which you
caught that man PettingilL And now.
tell me, are you going to catch the man
who robbed the woman on the Boston
train yesterday?"
"How do you know that it is a
man?" asked Mr. Barnes, amused at
her impetuosity and pleased at the turn
taken by the conversation.
"Oh, it is not a "woman! I am sure
of that I read about it in the papers
this morning. I bought three, so as not
to miss anything. No woman would
have been clever enough to plan it all,
and then carry it out so thoroughly."
"This is very interesting," said Mr.
j Thauret "Of courso, I, too, have read
the papers, but besides that, as yon
, know, Mr. Barnes, I was on the train
myself, and the first to be'searched. I
! have thought of the case ever since. In
i my own country we claim that our de
tectives can unravel any mystery, and I
am curious to know how you will man
age in an affair of this kind. The thief
evidently is clever ; do you not think so?' '
Mr. Mitchel had drawn apart and ap
parently was absorbed in a conversation
with Emily. Nevertheless Mr. Barnes
was confident that he missed little of
what was being said by the gronp of
which ho himself was one. Under ordi
nary circumstances he would not for a
moment havo thought of speaking of so
importaut a case before one who at least
might be suspected of complicity. But
these were not ordinary circumstances.
Hero were two men, about both of
whom thero was a mysterious connection
with tho crime, or crimes, which he was
investigating. If either, or both, were
guilty, it was evident from their cour
age in visiting unconcernedly at tho very
building in which the murder had been
committed that extreme skill would bo
required to obtain a conviction. The de
tective therefore considered that these
men must be met with methods as bold
as their own. Speaking in a toso loud
enough to reach Mr. Mitchel'3 ears he
said:
"I think that the thief is clever, but
that he is not so clever as he considers
himself. "
"How is that?"
"He believed I say he, because, like
Miss Remsen, I think it is a man"
"How delightful of you to agree with
me," said Dora.
"This man, then," continued Mr.
Barnes, "considers that he has misled
me. He thinks that when I directed that
all the passengers should bo seaicbed I
did so hoping to find the lost jewels,
whereas I was not looking for the jew
els, but for tho thief."
"How could you do that?"
"You may think me egotistic, but I
hoped to .detect him by his conduct I
was entiroly successful. I know who
stole the jewels. " This was a bold as
sertion, especially as Mr. Barnes had
not decided the matter in his own mind.
He wished to note the faces of these men
when he mado tho statement He gained
nothing by the maneuver, for Mr. Mitch
el seemed not to have heard, while the
Frenchman quickly said :
" Bravo 1 Bravo! You aro better than
Lecocq. It is like a wizard's trick. You
pass the suspects before you in review,
and then, presto! you pick out the crim
inal with your eye. That is a charming
method, and so simple!"
"Mr. Thauret," said Dora, "you aro
laughing at Mr. Barnes, and that is not
goodnatured. Mr. Barnes says he knows
the thief. I believo him. "
"Pardon ! I believe him also. I did
not mean to laugh. But tell me, Mr.
Barnes, how did the man secrete the
diamonds I suppose they wero dia
monds, were they not?"
"Diamonds and other jewels. But let
me ask you how would you have hid
den them had you been in his place?"
This time the shot went home. Plainly
the Frenchman did not like the sugges
tion of being himself the criminal. He
quickly recovered his equanimity, how
over, and answered :
"Do you know, I havo thought of that
very thing. Of courso I would probably
make a bungle of it. Still I have
thought of a way."
"A way by which he could have hid
den the jewels, so that a search could
not havo found them, and yet in a place
accessible to himself afterward?"
"I think so. Perhaps I am wrong,
but I think my little plan would do
that much. The newspaper says the
jewels were unset stones. I should have
pushed them into the cake of soap in
the washroom. No ono would think to
look for them there, and, even if eo,
there would be nothing against me.
Afterward I should have gone back,
taken the soap, and the jewels would
have been mine."
"You are mistaken."
"How so?"
"Yxm were the first person searched,
and I watched you till you left the
train. It would have been difficult for
yon to come to New York from Stam
ford on another train, and then gain ac
cess to the coaches on a side track and in
the hands of the scrubwomen. Even
then you would have failed, for I took
all the soap away aud substituted new
cakes before tho second man was
r1 -i i r V r-.y-? ' '
A smile on Mr. Mitchel's face proved
that he-was listening, and that he was
pleased at the detective's cleverness.
The Frenchman shrugged his shoulders
and said, laughing:
"There, you see, I should never make
a thief. Besides, there was tho satchel.
I had forgotten about that. One could
not hide a satchel in a cake of soap."
"But he could throw it out of the
window to mislead the man who picked
it -bzu" Tonb'ed.tlia detective.

Violets have returned to favor
earlier than ever this year, and
promise to be a furor. Entire
bonnets are seen of them, wicft
just a tiny border of fur; and large
velvet hats have the brims entirely
covered with these dainty blossoms
A purple velvet toque of usual size
being really a sort of softly folded
turban, has a wreath of violets,
closely set which encircles the hair
and above the right face is wastely
becoming. v Bverv shade of violet
is much worn in accessories and
divides favor with turquois blue
