Now, it so happened that the artist
who had painted the portrait of the
lady mentioned had occasion to travel
In India.
In the course of his wanderings he
came to Bombay and, as every visitor
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
acked his brain, but could not remem
ber.
He returned to his hotel and hap
pened to take from his portfolio a
sketch 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 he had seen was
the peculiar pendant that his fair sitter
Iad 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
uits. The jeweler In the bazaar con
fessed to having given years ago
uite insignificant sum for the jewel
which he had bought from a stableman
In the employ of a neighboring rajah.
Zhe stableman was sought for, and
turned out to be none other than a fa
moos English eracksmas who had ap
parenutly turned honest, but who,
nevertheless, confessed to having been
the thief of the jewel that had been
so milraculously discovered.--Pea~rson's

ITELTALE PICTURES.
PAINTINGS THAT HAVE DONE THE
}WORK OF DETECTIVES. -
Instanees Where the Canvals of an
Artist Has Led to the Confession et
a Crimina3-A Portrait and a stolen
Diamond Pendant.
An artis who had suddenly become
almost famous by his production of a
painting exhibited at the Royal acad
emy was one day called upon by a
man whose visit was productive of the
most extraordinary and undreamt of
e consequences.
' The picture represented a lonely
stretch of beach, upon which the sea
Swas beating in long, creamy roilers. In
the foreground, bending over a dead
body, was a man with a wild expres
[ slon on his face and with a naked
,knife in his hand. A ship's boat, evi
a dently just beached, was also in the
ipicture, and by the side of the mur
dered man was abag 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 learn the dreadful
story that you painted? I see you know
all. I murdered my mate Bill to get
the money that was his. I threw his
body into the sea. I don't know what
impulse led me to the Academy. The
first thing I saw was your picture rep
Iresenting the scene that tock place 80
years ago."
Needless to say, the picture had been
the outcome of imagination. Yet mur
der will out, and the guilty conscience
of the man who had killed his comrade
for lust of gold had 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."
tby Mdr. Luke F'ildes, yet there are prob
ably very few people aware of the fact
thai, 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 a large town com
mitted suicide, and among his paepers
was a letter which ran as follows: "I
have today seen Luke Fildes' 'Doctor.'
The picture represents a medical man
-watching by the bedside of a 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. He died
as all the world thought of acute pneu
monia. Yet his life might have been
Ssaved had I acted, as Flldes''Doctor' is
so evidently doing, with the use of all
Sthe skill that lay in my power. I bas
tened the boy's end and so got the
money. I can bear it no more."
A well known artist was commison
ed to paint the portrait of a lady in ex
slted circles, who boasted the pos-ses
Ssion of a most unique jewel in the
form of a pendant. The lady was very
anxious that this heirloom should be
included in her portrait The artist. of
rcourse, complied with her request
Shortly after the painting had been
Scompleted a daring burglary was per
Spetrated, with the result that the lady
r lost her heirloom, and no trace of the
+hiat or thiea wna fnethcomnm.

Fields of Salt.
At Salton, in southern California, ex
st a basin of land between 200 and
00 feet below sea leveL. About 1,000
Leres of the depressed area are cov
bred with a deposit of salt, which C. F.
loden describes in The Scientific
Linerican as one of the sights of Call
ornia. The salt is first thrown into
idges by a peculiarly shaped plow,
Irawn by a dummy engine with ca
>les, and then is piled into conical
eaps before being carried to the dry
ng house and crushing mill.' The ex
anse looks like a field of snow. About
1,000 tons of salt are removed each
rear, but the supply is perennially re
iewed by the deposits of salt springs
hich flow into the basin. In June the
emperature of the air reaches 150 de
gees, and only Indian workmen can
vithstand the heat and glare.
Tiger's Make Believe Eyes.
Mr. Beddard of the London Zoologi
al society calls attention to a pecul
arity of the ears of tigers which he
inks may be classed under the head
if "protective markings." On thle back
f each ear is a very bright white spot,
mnd when the ears are directed for
yard these spots are conspicuous from
he front. Mir. Beddard suggests that
vhen the tiger Is sleeping in the dim
ight of a cave or thicket the spots on
ts ears may appear to an enemy, look
ng in, as the gleam of Its watchful
yes and thus save the sleeper from an
mexpected attack.

CARD PLAYERS' CRAMP.
What Once Happened to an Old Faro
Dealer'. Hand. -
"Were you ever paralyzed?" said the
old timer.
"No, and may the"- began the other.
"Well, you see that right hand? It
looks pretty good and strong and it is,
biut for about three days once it was
deader than a frostbitten tomato plaant..
"You know of course that I used to
make my living playing cards, chiefly
dealing bank. There wasn't a day I
didn't deal bank or in other games six
to eight hours a day. Many a time I
have dealt or played longer. .
"One night I was dealing bank. It
was a good, big game. All at once
when I went to slip a card this old
right refused to work. I looked at it
and the fingers were kind of twisted
inward and the hand from the wrist
was bent downward.
"This stopped the deal for me, and I I
told the lookout 'to get busy,' for tne 1
players were getting a little 'queered.'
He took my place, and I watched the
bets.
"I rubbed my right, but it wouldn't1
straighten out and it kept this way
until the next day, and then I went to
a. doctor. He didn't know me as well
as you do, but the first question he
asked was:
"'Deal cards a great deal, don't you?'t
"'Yes.'
"'Do you deal with an elboWv move-e
ment or with finger and wrist move
ment?"
"'Why, I don't work my elbow.' 1
"'That explains it. You have card
players' paralysis.'t
"This hit me center, and I showed it,
but the doctor was good and said:
"'Now, don't get flurried.- I'll
straighten you up. Just quit dealing
awhile, and I'll give your hand a few I
doses of electricity, and you'll be alle
rght.
"He did it, and in about three days
my hand was straight as a string. But
I haven't dealt so much since. There's4
many an old timer whose dealing hand
has quit him. And you say you were
never paralyzed?"
"No."
"Well, you ain't played cards much."
