occupied by wretched families of Bed-
ouins, who herd the »heep and fl°*te
upon the neighboring Hills, writes Wil-
liam E. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald.
The hill called Bothel is a conspicu-
ous place, rising several hundred feet
from the plain‘and visible for a con-
siderable distance. There are several
ancient tombs, marble columns and
other pieces of dressed stone, some of
them bearing Inscriptions and others
showing evidences of elaborate carv-
ing, scattered-about the fields in the ■
vicinity, and near the summit of the
hill is a remarkable circle of large
blocks of stone gvhich the Moslems
say is the place where King Jeroboam
set np the goldflh calves for the Is-
raelites to worship, and brought down
upon himself the wrath of Jehovah.
There lb also the foundation of a

An unfortunate incident of the early
career of' Bret Harte grew out of hla
acceptance of an invitation to deliver
a Phi Bota Kappa poem at Harvard
soon after he had published his poem
concerning-Truthful James. He came
to Cambridge and supplemented , a
learned address from one of the philo-
sophers of the tlmo with a wishy-
washy poem that any amateur poet
might have addressed to his mis-
treM's eyebrows. It fell very flat
on the distinguished audience, and no
one appreciated thio fact better than
Bret Harte. After the literary ex-
ercises were over the hosts looked

Gerard made his way to a small room
that. Lady Sarah called her "boudoir.”
There they were—Alice buried in the
pillows ofc an invalid's chair, and Lady
Frances careening about the room, ap-

on a sofa, near to Alice. "Here's a seat

one hanging on a porch of a residence.
To my astonishment it was surround-

enough to hold a young bear. It was
a cheap thermometer, and such a pre-

The late Frank Stockton never
could write a successful poem. In
this connection the novelist frequently,
told a good story on himaslf. In his
youth, in conjunction with his brother
- . John, he wrote many poems with
j which he afflicted the editors of vari-
ous Canadian periodicals. The effu-
sions’ always came back.' The editor
of one magazine was an especial tar-
get of the Stocktons,.but aa none of
their poems was ever accepted the
brothers came to the conclusion that
the Mitor had no conception of good
poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted
up and dispatched to him an ode Tittle
known, from Milton. Within two
days they received a check and a let-
ter of thanks. "I came to the con-
clusion that that editor knew poetry ,
when he saw it after all," Mr. Stock-
’ ton used to say, ."and gave up trying
to write ft.”

CHAPTER IX— (CopUnued.)
“The bracelet could uot have gone
without hands to take it, Gerard, ’ re-
plied Lady Sarah. “How else do you
account for its disappearance?”
"!—I believe there must be
misapprehension, some great L
in the affair altogether. Lady Sarah. It
apeara incomprehensible now. but It
will be unraveled."
“Ay, and -tn double-quick time,**
wrathfully exclaimed the Colonel.
“You must think you are talking to e
pack of Idiots. Master Gerard. Here

room, being hard up for money, fin-
gered it, wished for It. and both you
end the bracelet dlMppeared. Sir”—
turning sharply to the officer—"did a
clearer com-ever go before a jury?”
Gerard Hope bit his lip. "Be more
just, Colonei," said he. "Your own
brother's son steal a bracelot!”
“And I am bappy my brother is not
alive to know lt,” rejoined the Colonel
in an obstinate tone. “Take him in
band, Mr. Ofllcer; w«Tl go to Marl-
borough street. I'll just change my
coat, and ‘
"No. no, you will not!" Cried”Lady
Sarah, laying hold
gown and the Colonel in it; "you shall
not go nor Gerard either. Whether
be to ghiity or not. It towel net be
brought against hlpa publicly. He
bears your name. Colonel, and so do I.
and it would reflect disgrace On us all."
“Perhaps you are made of money,
my lady, "if m. you may put up with
the loss of a £250 bracelet. 1 don’t
chooee to do so.” * ,
“Then, Colonel, you will, and you
must Sir," added Lady Sarah to the
detective, "we are obliged to you for
your attendance and advice, but it

Gerard cleared the steps at a bound,

Thomas waa surprised -tn all ways.
Not only at Mr. Hope's oom Ing in at
all, for the Colonel had again harshly
forbidden the houM. to him. and the
servants to admit him, but at the sud-

Alice roee and stood before Colonel
Hope. "Sir. If this charge were pre-
