Domestic Monthly. It was an ovonittg in midwinter. The Parisian season was at ita height , and a brilliant audience had nuomblod at the Theatre Francala. The Empress Eugenia was present , graceful and beautiful ; the emperor at her side , wrapped in his favorite i air of gloomy abstraction , which , lika Lord Burloigh's celebrated nod , was supposed to mean so much ; yet which , viewed by the impartial light of subsequent voracious cious history , . acoma to have signified no very little. Several officers in glit tering uniforms were in attendance , sparkling with decorations showered upon them by a grateful sovereign ; and among thcso gallant warriors , conspicuous by reason of the somberneaa of his attire , was a solitary , humble , black-coated civ ilian in ordinary evening irosa , ' with the inevitable speck of rod at his button- hole. In a box aimost immediately opposite that occupied by their Imperial majesties was a young and exceedingly handsome Russian lady , the Countess IvanofT , con cerning whoso manifold graces and fasci nations the great world of Paris elected 11 to interest itself considerably at this po riod. riod.Tho The beauty and the wit of this fair northern enchantress were the theme of every masculine tongue and her magnif icent diamonds the envy and admiration of all fcmlnino beholders. The countess was accompanied by her husband , a fine man of distinguished pro-possessing appearance , who looked an embodied refutation of the colobratod. Napoleonic aphorism , as though no amount of "scratching" could over un earth the Cossack clement underneath his refined , polished exterior. The curtain toll after the first act. The Emp eror and Empress withdrew during the intermission. Many humbler mor tals followed their example , among them Count IvanofF. The Countess leant back in her luxuri ous chair , fanning herself dreamily , indifferent - different to the interest she was excit ing. In the dim light of her curtaln- ahadod box the glitter of her splendid diamonds seemed to form a sort of luminous halo round her graceful head ; myriad starry brilliants gleamed among the masses of her gold-brown hair ; and two priceless stones , popularly reported to bo worth that unknown quantity , a king's ranson , Hashed and twinkled Itko twin planets in her little oholl tinted oara. oara.Tho count had not boon gone ftvo minuses when there was a gentle knock at the door , and , in answer to the count ess , "Entrez , " the uihor appeared and said deferentially : "Pardon , Madame la Comtcsao ; ely gentleman charged with a message from her majesty , the Empress , waits in the corridor , and desires to know if madame will have the goodness to rccolvo him. " "Certainly ! Enter , I bog of you , Monsieur , " replied the Countess , in the low , suave voice , which was not the least of her many attractions , bowing gracious ly as clio recognised the diatingulBhod looking civilian she had already noticed in close proximity to the emperor in the imperial box. The visitor advanced a few stops , and , Btlll standing in deep shadow , said with grave dignity : "I trust my intrusion may bo par doned. I am desired by her Majesty to ask a favor of Madame la Oonitcaao , and , at the same time , to bog that she will have the goodness to excuse a some what unusual request. " "Tho obligation will bo mine If I can fulfill oven the loaat of her Majesty's wishes , " answered the Countess , grate fully. "Tho case is thia , " explained the gen tleman , in a tone of well-bred ease. "An argument has orison concerning the size of the diamonds In your earrings and these of the Countess "W. The Empress begs that you will intrust ono of your pedants to her care for a few moments , as the only satisfactory method of dis posing of the vexed question. I will myself return it the instant her Majesty gives it back into my Hooping. " "With tlio greatest pleasure , " agreed tlio couuti'ss , with amiable alacrity do * taching the precious jewel forthwith , and depositing it , without mlsgjving , in the outstretched palm of the imperial mos * songer ; for , indeed , diamonds were al most as plentiful in the existence of this fortunate Judy cs in the pages of some novels. The countess bestowed a smila and a gracious bow of dismissal upon her Ma jesty's distinguished ambassador , who re sponded by n profoundly respectful in clination as ho inado his exit. Once safely outside the box , the aristocratic features of this high-brod imperial emis sary suddenly lost their serene expression j dignified gravity , nnd relaxed into a triumphant Mephlatophollaii grin , Shortly afterwards Count Ivanoff returned - turned , " 1 have been talking lo D , " remarked , ns ho seated himself. "Clover follow , D . I am not sur prised at the omj.oror'a partiality for him ; ho must find him BO useful when ho in want of an idea. " "Who is D r inquired lha count- CBS , with languid interest. "That is rather n dilllcult question , " replied thu count , smiling ; there are sev eral editions of his biography all differ ent , rrobn y none of them true , llo is successful , which Is the chiot point ; more over , ho is entertaining nnd , nt any rate , looks nnd speaks like n gentleman , which , in these evil days , is something -oven much. Look ) ho has just entered the umporor'fl box the man in the block coat. " "la that Monsour D ? " exclaimed the countess , waking up to a mild inter est In the subject. "If so , ho has boon hero while you were nwny. Ho came on the part of the empress , nnd carried off ono of my earrings , which her mnjoaty wished to compare with one of the countess - ess of W.s" "D 1 Impossible ! I wns talking to him the whole time 1 wns absent , and ho only loft mo nt the top of the staircase two seconds before I returned. " "Nevertheless , mon ami , ho has boon hero nnd has taken my earring. See , it is gone. " "Effectively t" ngrood tno count , with n prim umllo ; "but 1 > 1ms not ta1 < ou it. It ii to the last degree unlikely that the empress would mnko such a request. Depend upon it you have boon inndo the victim of n thief , got up ns nn nccurnto copy of the distinguished looking D . " "Impossible ! " cried the countess in her turn. "Tho affair is absolutely ns I toll ou. It was Monsieur D , the vorltn- ilo Monsieur D I see opposite , who came Into this box nnd took away my diamond. Only wnit n little , and ho will ring it back intact. " "To wnitnlittlo is to lesson the chance of its recovery. In nny case I will go nud Inquire of D , if I can got nt him , whether ho hns boon seized with n suddou attack of kleptomania : because the idea of the Empress having sent him ronming nbout the theater borrowing n Ii ' jewels I regard ns preposterous. i Ah those Parisians ! You do not know | what scientific geniuses they arc In their way. way.With thia the court departed , nnd the second net wns nearly at an end before ho returned. In the meantime the Countess pro- colvod that she was an object of interest to the occupants of the imperial box , and notably to the "double" of her late aristocratic looking visitor , who , she could still solemnly declare , had stood before her. " 1 was right , " whispered the Count , ro entering nnd nbout D of nnd earring , nnd , needless to say , the Empress never aunt him to any ono else upou such nn orrnnd. 1 have put the matter into the hands of ttio police , and will do all that ia possible to recover It. " "lloallyl How very droll ! " remarked the countess with calm nonchalance- for aha belonged to that order of impassive , statuesque women , who remain mistress of themselves through any quantity of "china fall " "I will take . ; out the other earring , or people will think I am trying to sot the fansion bywearing ] nn odd ono , " and she handed the follow of the pur loined jewel to her husband. The play came to an and , as oven that most excellent feast of reason , a good French play , well acted , must do , sooner or later , in common with all things muu : dauo. The countess vraa duly commiserated by sympathizing friouds , who , ono and all , declared behind her back that they would never have boon guilty of the im becility of trusting no valuable a posses sion to the tender * mercies of however fascinating a stranger ; but nothing moro was hoard of the stolen jewel until the following day at noon , when Count Ivan- oil" received n note from D to the ef fect thnt , as 1m could not help consider ing himself partly responsible for the loss of the diamond which had disappeared through the agency of his counterpart , ho had taken an early opportunity of in terviewing the chief of the police , who assured him ho hadgooa reason to believe the thief had already boon traced as far as Brussels. Early in the afternoon the countess was about to start for her daily drive in the park. The frozen snow lay deep up on the ground , and her sledge , with its two jot-black Ilusslan horsoa jingling their bolls merrily in the frosty nir.stood waiting in tbo courtyard while the count- toss donned her furs. A servant entering announced that nn officer of police , in plain clothoa , aakod permission to speak with Modamo la- Comtoss concerning the lost diamond. "Certainly , " agreed madame , gracious ly , "lot the officer bo shown into the boudoir. " Into the boudoir presently came the Countess , stately , beautiful , fur-clad , buttoning her little gloves. Near the door stood a short , why-looking man , with keen black oyca , closely-cropped hair , and compact , erect , military figure. The small man clinked his heels together nnd bowed profoundly in the presence of so much high-born loveliness , while ho said , with the utmost respect , at the name time laying n letter upon the table : H"I am sent by the order of the chief of police , to inform Madame la Comfosso that the stolen diamond has boon satis factorily traced , but there is , nnfortun ntitoly , some little dilliculty connected with its identification. I am charged , therefore , to bog that Madame la Com- tosso will bnvo the goodness to entrust the follow earring to the police for o short period , in order that it may bo compared with the ono found in the possession of thu suspected thief. Madame will find that the letter I bring corroborates my statement. " The coumtcss glanced hastily through the letter , nnd , ringing the bell , desired that her maid might bo told to bring the remaining earring 'immediately. This was done , and the dapper little manbow- ing doiforontially , departed with the pro clous duplicate safely in his possession. The countess descended to her alodgo and drove to the club to call for her hus band onrouto for the park. Crossing the Place do la Concorde , she related to him the latest incident in the story of the diamond mend earring. "You never were induced to give up the other1' ? cried Count lyanhoff , incred ulously. "But I tell you , mon ami , on pflicor of the police came himself to fetch it , bring ing a letter from his superior vouchitig for the truth of his statement. " "If the prefect himself had como I don't think I should have boon cajoled into letting him have it after last night'a experience , " laughed her husband. "However , for the second time of asking , wo will go and inquire. " The coachman turned ana drove as di rected to the bureau of police , at which the count had lodged his complaint the night bpforo. After a little delay , the count rejoined his wife with a Boml-grim ook of amusement upou his huadeomo hirsute face , "Tho police know nothing of your do. toctivo or hia pistolary efforts , " ho aaid , drawing the fur rug up to his chin as the impatient horses sped away merriiy over the frozen unow ; "it was the wrong man they had got hold of at Brussels , Your second our-rint ' has boon - , netted by an other member of the light-fingered fra tornity , nnd upon my honor I think ho was the most accomplished artist of the tno. " And from that unlucky day to this the Countess IvanolFa celebrated diamond earring knew her pretty c&ra no moro. COUNCyillFFS ADDITIONAL LOCAL NKWS. RECKLESS SHOOTING , , Ho Fount !
