I never did care for amateur work.\ •• Indeed I Then to what do I owe the pleasure of this call ?\ asked Ellen. •• It is not at all probable that you have taken the trouble to come here merely to see .me.\ Luoia laughed ft little awkwardly. \Ton always were satirical, 1 ' she said. \tint I am going to a fancy dreas party as a heliotrope flower next week, and I remembered that pretty amethyst clasp that you uaed to wear at school. It would match my trimmings exactly, if you wouldn't mind lending it to me for a few days.\ Ellen opened a little desk near the window and took it out—a crescent* shaped line of purple fire set in a dull gold frame. \Ho much obliged to you,\ aaid Luoia smoothly. \And if I hear of any one who desires to employ a droasmaker I shall certainly recommend you. Old Doctor Findloy waa in his study tbe next day when Miss Fauhawo was anuonnoed. He knitted his shaggy crows. \A *J% flipMBk votary ©I fashion,\ he tntitUr«d to himMit \Wiiat brioga that grandntoce of mips hero? I've given her, to understand often enough that her Visits ore unpleasant.\ Lucia came in smiling. \Dear uncle,\ she said. \I've beard that you were making a unique collec- tion of precious stones, and I've brought ft humble contribution to it.\ Doctor Findley pricked up his ears, and hie eye* grew bright. \Eh?\ he said. \It's an heirloom in our family,\ Lu- cia said. \An amsthyst clasp that bo- longed to my momor's mother. Of course we are very much attached to it, but to please you we would sacrifice any feeling of mere seutimont.\ \Let me see it,\ said the doctor. He turned the trinket over and over —held it so that the sunlight reflected froa its faoata of violet fire and scruti- nised the antique setting keenly. \Humph!\ he said. \It's a good color and the pattern is choice. But I will not take your pratty ornament, Lu* eta, without making some return. A fair exchange is no robbery. Ame- thylH at* rare, unt diamonds are more precions. Here)\ Ha took from a teak wood Jewel casket a ring set with a dew drop of glistening whiteness—a diamond of the choicest water. \Oh uncle, this is too much I\ cried Lucia, coloring high with pleasure. \No it isn't,\ he retorted curtly. Then Luoia want away feeling that she had ft ring handsomer than Mias DaBoughainville'a famous solitaire that everyone admired so muoh. It so happened that young Dr, Lind- say strolled in a few days after to con- snlt the old practitioner about-come new combination of drugs, and found him absorbed in the contemplation of his antiques. \Look hen, Frank, did yoa aver soe • finer row of amethysts f Leave off talUig about ifattria Medico. One can't eat and drink shop the whole time. Look at the color see tlio SiM.\ \It's vary pretty,\ said Lindsay. \1 Mm to have seen caa like it tome* where. Although I tsaa't say I am ea* specially interested in amethysts.\ \That you have not I\ cried the old gentleman with decision. \Tula speci- men is mi gmtrii. I don't belisva its mate existe; certainly not on this side of the water.\ Lindsay smiled, admired the drawers of the jswei box* and diverted the con- venation baok to the drug question as soon as possible. But his opinion re- mained unchanged. \There I\ be exclaimed to himself as he came out from seeing a oasa of Gar- man measles, an hour or so afterward. \I remember BOW where I saw the match to that clasp of purple stonM, Nellie Iilbume used to wear ft in her lace oollar.\ Ha drove direetly to the Lilburne house. \Why. Nelly,\ said be, with tho kindly familiarity fitting to «ld play- mates, \how pals yeu an t Doss not the dressmaking businses prosper i\ tine shook her ksad, but tried to sum- mon up a smile. \Frank l nave come to tae conclu- sion that there are too amy dresamak- sra in the city already. Bat what brings you hare? loo don't wast a dress made do yon I\ \Nelly win you sell that old erao- tbyst clasp that yon wad to wear I\ said he, in the abrupt fashion that «*• ordinary to bio. \I bolisva I oan gtt yon ft good priea for it, Old Doctor Fintlloy is making ft collection of an- tique Rams, and I think he would pay you well tot it\ •>I have lent it to Miss Fanshawe,\ aaiJEUea. \SUeborrowod it to wear to ft {asp?

She was superbly dressed and looked very haadsose, but he could not help remembering Waft Lilburno's lost clasp. \ I don't see,\ said Lucia, p*t«lutly, to her mother, \what nakes Barter Lindsay so cold and stasd-olftsk •Hatfi titty Mil m« It* hu got a very Issr practice, and, &-mm?$M-im&: th*4 old IisOaay *«tMe i» it* silmbs sooner or later. He used to b* rather as admirer of Elian Lilburne, but since she has gone entirely out of society——\ , \Don't fret, dear,\ said Mrs. Fan- ahawe; \msn have their hot and cold fits; it's their nature. Now, I'm quite sure that Frank Lindsay admires jroui Give him plenty of line—you'll bo pretty sure to laud him at last,\ added the accomplished old manoBnverar. Tbe very next time thatLindsAy went to Doctor Findley's house the bid gen- tleman alluded to the amsthysta again. \Have you found that match for my circlet of gem* yet?\ he said jeeringly. \No.\ answorad Frank. \Will yon allow me to look at the stones onoe more?\ \As muoh as yon like—as pinch as you like,\ aaid Findley, gleefully. \One or two experts have seen 'em, and they tell me I'vo got a real treasure in 'ess. \Did you tell me where it was that you obtained them?\ asked Lindsay. \No I didn't; bnt it is no secret. My grandnicce, Lucia Faushawe, gave them to me. They wore an heirloom in the family, it aeoms—on her mother's side —but Lucia hi a good-hearted little thing, and she knows my fancy for rarrf ktonem However, She has lost nothing by it, for I nave her in return a three* hundred-dollar diamond. I'm not one who likes to be undor obligations to anybody.\ \Ah!\ said Frank. \Well then, sir, if I was to uao a paradox, your clasp of amethyata in its own match)\ ••Eltr cried tbe did gentleman. \This is tho very ornament of which I was speaking,\ said Lindsay. \It is the same one I used to see in the dreas of a friend of mine—MUs Lilburne. Your very obliging niece has bean gen- erous at aomo one else's expense. She borrowed Mias Lilburno's oresoent of amelbrata, and very conveniently forgot to return it. It is strange to what deptiui of meanness your society lady will stoop at timos,\ he addad bitterly. Doctor Findley pulled meditatively at his griHled mustache, ^ 8 ^^! %m& was clear gain, then, wasn't it. Bat when doss this lady live, Lindsay ? 1 must cither return this trinket to her, or see if she will part with it to me for a fair compensation. I must say that I am unwilling to lose it\ -Keep the olasp, air,\said Frank » \1 will BOS that all shall be right I am going to ask Nelly Lilburne to marry ale—and, of course, the interests of hus- band and wife are one.\ The old gentleman shook hands heartily with him, saying: \I congratulate you, my boy I I'm a bachelor myself, but there are times when I quantum the wisdom of my own course in life.\ Lucia Fanahawe bad never received so severe a oastigationos that which Dr. Findley gave her that day. \Niece he said, \yon have been a thief and a liar both, I don't know from whom yoa could have possibly in* herited this moral obliquity, but I am oertain it wasn't from my aide of the genealogical tree. Be so good as to give me baok the diamond ring, which you neither earned nor deserved; I in- tend to give it as a wedding present to the girl whom Lindsay U going to marry—the real owner of the ame- thysts.\ Poor Lucia had not a word to say in her own defense. All her life she had practiced thsse little diplomacies and she had never before bean found t out But now, to lose diamond, lover and the esteem of her rich old grand- uncle, all at onee—it was rather over- powering. Doctor Findley kept his word. He sent the diamond ring to Nelly Lil- burne with a pretty congratulatory note. Nor was tnis all. On her wad- ding day she received as perfeot a set of amethysts—brooch, ear-pendants and bracelets—as New York could supply. \ In their way they are perfect,\ aaid Dr. Findley; •• but they are sot, Ska tho • olaapa, antiques,\ !

Joliu Adams wrote to a friend thus; \It Booms as if every liar and cnlnmuiator in tho country wen at work night and day to destroy my reputa- tion.\ The electors failed to come to a decision and tbe election went into the House. Through Clay's infiuonco Adonis was declared President. At oiicecrioM of \bargain\ and \fraud' 1 vcre heard on overy band. The facts in tho matter were never clearly atated. After the election by tho HOMO a storm of denunciation arose. Kroiner of Pennsylvania denounced tho \corrupt understanding.\ Tho presonce of Laf- ayette in Washington at the timo pre- vented any indecorous scene. Never- tholcas tho campaign was one of coarse personalities. Andrew Jackson was particularly bitter. In a letter he calls Clay \the Judas of the West, who be. trayod his party for thirty pieces of sil- ver.\ Adams tnado Olay Secretary of Stato. and John Randolph called tbo ''bargain' 1 \the union of Puritan and blaciuog.\ This led to tho famous bloodless duel between Randolph and Glay. Kroinor, who made tbe cry first, is believed to have written ft latter of apology and re- gret. Strange to say, Mr. Adams never fully explained the •' interview\ he is al- leged to have had with Olay. Ho writes of it in part in bis diary, bnt the story is manifestly incomplete. His friends aay tuat be left it in this way hoping one day, when ha had more leisure, to go ahead with his explanation. The Adami-Jackson campaign of 189a was one of many hard epithets. Hen an a few of them. Mr. Jackson was called: A violent ignorant slave-holder, an infamouti and slanderous liar, groggy and ignorant, and tbe respectability of bis wlfo was attacked. Mr. Adamn waa called; A pander to Russian sensuality, bargainer and corrupted, and wasteful and extravagant.

Then occurred a rather funny ex- ample of courtly etiquette, Herr Von Moltke, who had first per- ceived tho royal summons, galloped at once to tho side of bb master, who told him in a very few worda what waa wanted. The adjutant raised his hand to hia helmet, bowed, and wheeled around his horse, rode over to the spot where tho Master of the Horse, all sear* let and gold, was halting; To him bo\ repeated tUs Kaiser's orders, and this gentleman raised his gold-headed rid* ing whip, which was ths signal for\ one 1 of the mounted lackeys standing in the rear to approach. The lackey was of course, not allowed to ride past hi* Majesty, so be turned bis horse's head into a side allsy, rode along the alloy till be was within jumping distance of the Master of the Horse, and than, without a moment's hesitation, urged his beast to bound across a deep ditch, which separated the alley from the grand road. He landed close baton the Master, and with uncovered bead, received from him the Kaiser's orders for A \ fly-chaser\—third band, so to apeak. Immediately upon the Master of the Horse ilnishing bis sentenoe of command, tbs lackey wbeelsdabout, re- peated his dangerous voltigeur experi- ment and then galloped at fall speed to the castle, when he summon*! two of bis unmounted colleagues lounging oa the piaxxa.
