Mr Gainsborough's Diamonds

nationality—all persuaded me it was the present Mrs Gainsborough. Yet it appears it was nothing of the sort." " I should think not, indeed !" ex claimed Tom, laughing. " They are as different, even m appearance, as two straight browed brunettes could possi bly be. It is not my fault if you were misled by a description—you who know so well how miserably vague the best descriptions are, Were you to see them side by side you would acknowledge that they are as little alike as you arcd I are. As to the American part of it— the truth is they were not really Americans at all. Birchmore and the girls were French, and I m my ignorance mistook their French accent for tho Yankee twang. When, several years later, I met some real Americans —and married one of them—l realised my error." " Humph ! Well, I dare say you were not more stupid than the majority of your countrymen would have been m your place. But another thing—was all that mesmeric business genuine or a part of the conspiracy." " Conspiracy, of course ! It was the stock expedient of the gang, and a very ingenious one, I think, for of course the mesmeriz d one might turn up any where, and if she were not discovered, well and good ; while if she were, all she had to say was that she was m a mes meric trance. As it happened, the lat ter alternative occurred m both their attempts on me; but I give the girl credit for turning it off excellently well. In fact, she toek a real artistic interest m her business. You see, she had been trained as a rope dancer m her child hood, and afterwards she was on the stage for a time. She certainly had marvelous dramatic talent, and thor oughly enjoyed 'taking a part. 1 The realistic element that entered into her performances no doubt rendered them much more exciting than ordinary stage work, and perhaps sometimes she al most deceived herself." "Ah ! I should not wonder. Well, and what was the meaning of that confusion about the steamboat and the train and Birchmore's explanations ?" " A mistake on their part—that's all, Accidents will happen, you know. I dare say my unexpected questions dis concerted them greatly; but I was unsuspicious enough, heaven knows. What I admire as much as anything m their management of the affair was the skill with which they made rae believe from the outsit that I was forcing my company upon them, when m reality it was they who were leading me around by the nose." " Missus Gainsborough say de tea ready, sah !" said the sable servitor, opening the door. " Let's go up at oiice !" I exclaimed, riling from my chair. " I shall here after feel a new interest m looking at Mrs Gainsborough'a diamonds !" THE END.

Wagunyah, N.8.W., of a pettier and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic arid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of salts m welding the parts of tin together, lhe analyst warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption) and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, acd tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'
