THE STORY OF JACINTIIA
Whore Is my diamond bracelet,
Jacinths? I am positive I had It,
with my other jewels on coming home
from tlic. Wlllington ball, and now it
Is missing."
Tho speaker was a tall, command
ing woman of SO, who was known In
the fashionable circles of Carolyn as
the charming Mrs. Kenneth, ”*5K)(1
charming she certainly was when
exerting her elegant graecs In the
gilded set, over which she lmd long
reigned as the regnant star. She re
served the rather turbulent temper of
which she was possessed for the In
mates of her.own household, In gen
eral and Jaclnthu In particular—
Jaclntha, a girl of uncertain parent
age whom sho had adopted a few
years before the opening of my story.
I do not know where tho bracelot
is, Mrs. Kenneth," replied Jaclntha,
looking fearlessly In the otes of her
mistress^ in wl T.h glowed\ gleam of
austooign. ... .•&
' When ernrybu see ft lasflr^
On tho night of the WilllngUm
ball."
‘And you saw mo locking It up?”
■Certainly. I was .helping you
with your toilet, and I could not
help seeing the jewel.”
‘And you have been the only per
son In this room since then, save
myself—the only person, remember.
The matter looks very black for you
Jaclntha, and unless ”
Do you dare to insinuate that I
stole the bracelet?” Tho face of the
girl had turned a dead white, but
there was a defiant ring In her
voice, that made her mistress flush
red with anger.
No high tragedy will answer your
purpose. You will find that bruc-elot
before this time to-morrow, or you
will find yourself In Jail,” and with
that Mrs. Kenneth swept wrathfully
out of the apartment.
Jaclntha was a brave girl, hut here
was a thrust that cowed her in spite
of herself. Sho was a shy little thing
of only 17, possessing 11 re
fined spirit that made her dread pul>-
llclty of any kind, “and now—now,”
she crieo In agony, falling upon her
knees, and hiding her face in her
hands, “I will be taken to jail—I
will Ire taken to jail, am! what Judge
or jury will take the word of a poor,
weak, friendless girl In preference to
that of the proud, wealthy, and
powerful Mrs. Kenneth? None—
none! I am lost—lost!"
The door opened and old Chloe, the
cook, looked In. “W’y, honey! W’at’n

side ez 1 wus er-passin’ frew Ue hall,
an’ ’eluded some one wus er-being

hyer miration 'bout, ainyhow?”
Jaclntha had sprung to her feet.
“O, Chloe!” she cried, clenching and
unclenching her little hands in a
passion of rage, shame, and despair,
“Mrs. Kenneth says I stole her brace
let, and threatens to have me taken
into custody unless I find it before to
morrow. O, I can’t stand it—1 can't
—I can’t!"
“Frcatons to bev yo' put in jail un

baned old head with a mysterious air.
“Why, auntie, whatdoyou mean?”
“Doan yo’ ask what X mean, hut ef

The Uan of LlqiiliU at MpaIA
A great deal of misapprehension Is
often found to exist In tho popular
mind in regard to matters of eating
and drinking; the cause of this to
some extent Is to bo traced to old-
tlmo sayings, which have come down
to us In the fosm of a concentrated
infusion of somebody’s opinion upon a
subject of which I10 or she was woe
fully Ignorant. One of these misap
prehensions to which wo may refer Is
us to the injuriousness of taking fluid
with meals. One frequently hears It
laid down as a majtlm that “It is bad
to drink with your meals, It dilutes
the gastric juice,” By way of ex
planation wo may remark, says tho
Medical Press, that “It Implies that
tho fluid takeu Is harmful.” Whenco
this sagacious postulate originally
caiuc we eunnut toll; It has quite the
ring about it of an Inconsequent de
duction formed by a porson whoso
presumption of knowledge was only
exceeded by a lamentable ignorance
of the subject. Medical men often
find much difficulty In dealing with
t hose museum specimens ot antiquat ed
science, for oven educated persons are
disposed to cling to absurdities of
their youth. Upon this matter Mr.
Hutchison remarks In the last num
ber of his Archives; *1 observe witli
pleasure that the verdict of general
experience and common sense lias
been confirmed by scientific expert
rnent in the matter -,pf taking fluid
wit.li meals. Dr. Tev. O. Straticvsky,
of St. Petersburg, after elaborate
trials, has found that l\ujds materially
assist In the assimilation of protleds,
and announces the following con
clusion, which It Is to be hoped no
future experiments will controvert-^
on the whole, the widely-spread cus
tom of taking fluids during or just
befot’o ono’s meals, proves to bo
rational and fully Justified on strict
scientific grounds. .To take fluids
with the meals Is almoBt as important
an adjunct to digestion as Is the
mastication of solid fifed preparatory

who had entered the apartment
steathily, and heard the whole con

Kenneth -was
given without elegance, lmt thcro
was a strong undercurrent, (if malice
in all that she said. Matters began to
look very bad for the prisoner at the
bar, when Mr. Dalton rose to his feet,
with a Jewel in his hand, and said:
“Is this your bracelet, Mrs. Ken
neth?"
“Yes, sir."
"Examino it very carefully.” went
on tho lawyer, “for I want to make
certain that you will claim It.”
"O, It Is my bracelet, I know. The
workmanship Is very peculiar. It
was designed by my lato husband, and
1 would know it anywhere.”
“This littlo pendant was designed
by him, too, I presume," pointing to
a small bejeweled charm, suspended
to the bracelet.
“Yes, sir.”
“You are certain?”
“G, very certain. I reruomber
when he presented me with the brace
let ho wanted to remove tho charm.
Said It would be in my way, you know,
but I protested, for I thought It. very
pretty, even It it were a bit lueon
venlent.”
“Now, madam, let me have the
jewel again, please,” remarked Dal
ton, taking it In his hand. “Has this
charm a secret spring?”
“No, sir.”
‘You are mistaken, madam, replied
Dalton, touching a secret spring that
caused the charm to fly open.
“Now, what was the Christian
name of your husband?”
“Charles.”
“And your name before marriage?
“Satterfield.”
“Was your husband a widower when j
you married him?”
“No, sir—a bachelor.”
“Is this his picture?”.—holding
back the charm to Mrs. Kenneth.
“Yes—yes.”
“And the other picture. It is not
yours?”
“No!” Mrs. Kenneth seemed turned
into stone.
“And the inscription, from Charles
Kenneth to his Beloved wife, Clara
Searle Kenneth,” what is the mean
ing of that.
No answer.
“You can take your seat madam.”
Mrs. Kenneth sat staring straight
before her, with both hands locked
tightly across her heart.
“Mad,” whispered one physician to
another, “Yes, her mind has lost Us
balance, for she realized all In one
dread moment—realized that she had
never been the wife ot the dead man
whose name she bore.
The trial went on and it was de
veloped that the bracelet had been
found in the possession of a common
housebreaker, and Jaclntha was dis
charged, the great crowd giving her
cheer after cheer as sho passed out of
the court-room in comnany with Boy
Dai tou.
“And now, little one, I have news
for you,” said the young lawyer, and

IMPORTANT COURT DECISION
Which Will Turn Much Money Into
North Carolina’s Treasury.
A Raleigh special of Thursday says:
Tho supreme court of the Umted States
lias filed a decision of great importance
to North Carolina. It affirms tho di oi-
elon of tho state supremo court that
twenty miles of tho main line of the
Wilmington and Weldon railway aro lin-
b!o to taxation ns are also 280 milgs of a
branch. This road has never paid
any tax, claiming exemption
under a charter from the stale.
The supreme cuurt has inti edited

main line are liable also, Tho d,eisiun,
it is stated, carried with it back taxes.
Thero aro due f. r fifty.yoars on a division
of the mniu line and from five to thirty
years on branches. Tho aggregate of
these hack tuxes is at least a qunrter of a
million dollars, and it may amount to »
half million.

The parrot family is a largo one
More than 400 species aro recognized
—cockatoos, macaws, lories, parra
keels, as well as the parrots proper
being Included. Of this wholo
number, only one species is found in
tho United States—the Carolina sara-
keet, or as it is often called, the Caro
lina parrot.
At onetime and another the Caro
lina parrot lias been seen in more
than twenty States of the Union,
New York and Colorado being the
northern and western limits of Its
distribution, so fur as these have been
made out. Its remarkable hardi
ness, as compared witli parrots in
general, is sufficiently evidenced by
the appearance of a (lock in mid
winter at Albany, New York.
The birds were formerly abundant.
Audubon speaks of them us covering
stacks of grain till the stacks looked
as if a brilliantly colored carpet had
been thrown over them. Unhappily,
the bird was destructive to grains and
fruits, and was itself destroyed with
out mercy by farmers. Audubon had
seen several hundreds shot in a few
| hours.
Nearly sixty years ago the Carolina
parrot was rapidly becoming l^ss nu
merous, and now it is without quest
ion fast approaching extinction. Ac
cording to Mr E. M. Ilasbrouek, who
has recently treated tho subject In
the Auk, it appears to ho restricted
l,o some of the least accessible parts
of Florida, and perhaps to a part of
Indian Territory.
Now that it is almost Impossible to
study its habits, it is found—as was
the ease with the Labrador duck, re
cently mentioned in thcCompanion—
that there are many serious gaps in
our knowledge of it.
Wilson and Audubon described the
birds us buildingnests in hollow trees.
Later information, derived from men
who aro not ornithologists, represents
them as building in the branches of
cypress trees—sometimes as many as
forty and fifty nest being found in
ono small tree. As Mr. Hasbrouck
remarks, It seems bard to reconcile
the two statements, but perhaps the
parrakcet, like some owls, nests either
in hollows or on branches, as circum
stances favor.
However destructive the parrakcet
may once have been, it Is certalDly
deplorable that so handsome and in
teresting a bird, our only repre
sentative of so interesting a family,
should he persecuted to utter exter-
mlnation.—Youth’s Companion
