An nrtlRt who had suddenly become
tltnost fjunons by Ills production of a
painting exhibited tit the Uoyul acad-
ctny was one day called upon by u
mnn whose visit was productive of the
most extraordinary and undrenml of
consequences.
The picture represented u lonely
stretch of beach , upon which the sea
wus boating in long , creamy rollers. In
the foreground , bending over a dead
body , was a man with a wild expres
sion on his face and with a nuked
knife lu lila hand. A ship's boat , evi
dently Just benched , was also In the
picture , and by the side of the mur
dered man was a bag of gold. The pic
ture portrayed the advent of two cast
aways upon a friendly shore. The one
had murdered the other so that the
treasure might be his.
The painter's visitor was a gray hair
ed , wild eyed man.
"In heaven's name , sir , " he gasped
out , "how did you lonrn the dreadful
fitory that you painted ? I see you know
nil. 1 murdered my mate Hill to get
the money that was his. I threw his
r body Into the sea. I don't know what
Impulse led mo to the Academy. The
first thing I saw was your picture rep
resenting the scene that took place 30
years ngo. "
Needless to say , the picture had been
tlie outcome of Imagination. Yet mur
der will out , and the guilty conscience
of the man who had killed his comrade
for lust of gold hud convinced him that
the painting was no coincidence , but
was Indeed the actual portrayal of a
dastardly and unwitnessed crime.
There Is probably no picture better
known in England than "The Doctor , "
by Mr. Luke Fildes , yet there are prob
ably very few people aware of the fact
that that selfsame masterpiece was
the means of bringing to light the per
petration of a crime that would other
wise never have been known.
A certain doctor In n large town com
mitted suicide , and among hla .papers
was a letter which ran us follows : " 1
have today seen Luke Tildes' 'Doctor. '
Tlie picture represents a medical man
watching by the bedside of n child. It
has so haunted me that I am going to
take away my own worthless life and
make a confession at the same time.
When Arthur's" his brother's "boy
died , I came into money that my dead
brother had settled on him. lie died
ns all the world thought of acute pneu
monia. Yet his life might have been
saved had I acted , ns Fildes' 'Doctor' is
BO evidently doing , with the use of all
the skill that lay In my power. I has
tened tlie boy's end and so got the
money. I can bear It no more. "
A well known artist was commission
ed to paint the portrait of a lady In ex
alted circles , who boasted the posses-
eion of a most unique Jewel In tlie
form of a pendant. Tlie lady was very
anxious that this heirloom should be
Included In her portrait. The artist , of
course , compiled with her request.
Shortly after the painting had been
completed a daring burglary was per
petrated , with .he result that the lady
lost her heirloom , and no trace of the
thief or thieves was forthcoming.
Years passed by , and the lady gave up
nil hope of ever seeing the precious
heirloom again.
Now , It so happened that the artist
who had painted the portrait of tlie
lady mentioned had occasion to travel
In India.
In the course of his wanderings he
came to Bombay and , as every visitor
. . .I to that place does , strolled through the
native bazaar.
Suddenly his attention was riveted
by a piece of Jewelry In a Jeweler's
shop that seemed familiar to him. It
was a diamond and ruby pendant
Where had he seen It before ? He ran
sacked his brain , but could not remem
ber.
ber.He
He returned to his hotel and happened -
, pened to take from his portfolio a
eketch of the portrait he had made
years ago of the lady with the pendant.
In a moment the enigma was solved.
The piece of Jewelry lie had seen was
the peculiar pendant that his fair sitter
'had been so anxious he should include
in his portrait.
He hurried off to the chief of police ,
and told that worthy what he suspect
ed , namely , that the bazaar he had vis
ited contained the long lost Jewel of
the English lady. Inquiries were at
once set on foot with extraordinary re
sults. The Jeweler In tlie bazaar con
fessed to having given years ago a
quite Insignificant sum for the Jewel ,
which he had bought from n stableman
In the employ of a neighboring rajah.
The stableman was sought for , and
turned out to be none other than a fa
mous English cracksman , who had ap
parently turned honest , but who ,
nevertheless , confessed to having been
the thief of the Jewel that had been
fa miraculously discovered. Pearson's

When the civil war ended , the little
town of Pulaskl , Tenn. , welcomed n
band of young men who , though they
were veterans of hard fought fields ,
were for the most part no older than
the mass of college students. In the
general poverty , the exhaustion , the
lack of heart , naturally prevalent
throughout the beaten south , young
men hud more leisure than WIIH good
for them.
A southern country town , even In the
halcyon days before the war , was not
a particularly lively place , and Pulaskl
In 1SCO was doubtless rather tame to
fellows who had seen PIckett charge
at Gettysburg or galloped over the
country with Morgan and Wheeler. A
group of them assembled In a law olllce
one evening In May , 1S < ! < ) , were discuss
ing ways and means of having a live
lier time. Some one suggested a club
or society. An organization with no
very definite alms was effected , and at
a second meeting , a week later , names
were proposed nnd discussed. Some
one pronounced the Greek word kuklos ,
meaning circle.
From kuklos to kuklux was an easy
transition whoever consults a glossary
of college boys' slang will not find It
strange and klnii followed kuklux us
naturally as "durnpty" follows "hump-
ty. " That the name meant nothing
whatever was a recommendation , and

YOUR WATCH.
In laying \Hlde a watch be mire that
It rests upon ItH ease.
A watch Hhould be wound up every
day at the same hour.
Avoid putting It on u marble slab or
near anything excessively cold.
If suspended , the action of the bul
mice may cause oscillation , which will
Interfere with Its going.
A midden change of temperature , con
trading the nietul , may sometimes
cmuc the mainspring to break.
The cold also coagulates the oil. and
the plvotn nnd wheels work ICHH freely
and affect the regularity of the time
keeping.
To keep your watch clean take care
that the cane lltn closely and see that
tin ; watch pocket IH kept free from
fluff , which IH bo often given off by
linings.
Avoid sudden Jars and falls , for even
If It does not seem to affect It at till !
moment , a watch will resent rough
handling by becoming gradually "out
of older" w'Miout ' apparent cause.
How Miiiiiiriu TrrcH < > rotv.
It IH u peculiar fact that but ono
bunch of bunanuH growH on a tree.
After the fr lit IIUH been cut the tree IH
then cut dovn to the ground , and from
the Htniiipmother tree sprouts which
bears another bunch the following
year. The greatest trouble of farmers
Is to keep the farms clear of sproutH.
They hhoot up from the roots of tlie
tree for a radius of ten feet and grow
llko weeds.
As the fruit Is cut from the trees It
IH placed on tlie buckH of little pack
donkeys and transported In this way
to the const One donkey can curry

the size of the bunches and the dis
tance from the coast In the season at

Don't nine Alone.
How many people dine alone ? The
restaurants all number solitary diners
among their regular clientage. I low
many thousands of people , men or wo
men , will eat a lone dinner or supper
tonight In the cities nnd towns and
hanikts of Christendom ? The evil of
eating alone Is the subject of an ear
nest although cheerful warning from
the London Lancet The hygienic val
ue of gregailous dining Is Insisted up
on. The necessity of taking food In
social fashion Is an Inherent racial sort
of thing , and those who go against It
for years usually have to pay for It
with some of the Ills of Indigestion.
Breakfasting alone Is not bad for a
, busy generation , but dining alone Is
not n habit to be long continued , In civ-
| llizatlon or out of It , without disastrous
results.
A Truly True DOIT Story.
Here Is an Australian dog story from
the hack blocks : A sheep dog had been
brought from a station Into a small
township and fretted after the sheep.
Ono day not a child was to be seen
about the p'ace , and as evening came
the township became alarmed. Search
was made , and the juveniles were
found huddled up In the corner of a
paddock , where the dog had rounded
them up. He had no sheep to look aft
er , BO he took the children. The narrator
rater of this lie guarantees It as a fact.
