CHAPTER XXXVIH
EXAMINING IIEK proofs.
As Dnme Grippard designed to begin ber
abode at Old Anchors ou the following day
she proceeded to kill time, while waiting
oi lier accomplices, by making some prep-
ir w?o £ur b(;l ' departure from the cottage.
While waking these preparat on* she
this Ile bho ‘* a lurge nnd slrong iron safe. From
soou took a brass-bound casket,
ibout eighteen lushes square and ten inches
i| lesk-lid ee P- This and casket opened, she after placed unlocking upon bet
iever.d strong its
nnd secret fastenings.
’ihe casket contained the Porclair and
Hawksworlhy while stealing jewels which she had stolen
the infant daughter of Sit
Ldy\ard In it and Lb dy Ethellft H&wkBVorthy,
were also a jewe'ed medallion minia¬
ture portrait of Lady Ethella at the age ol
eighteen: another of the stolen child at the
time tho child was kidnaped, nnd all the
garments that wcie ou the child when she
was stolen from her cradle at Hawksworthy
Manor —also the garments which had been
worn by the child before she was disrobed
for in the cradle.
Dame Grippard, alias Barbara Bees
after Brackly, had had this cask et made soou
her arrival in New York with Yer-
neena, and had put into it all the above, to
be used when she might decide to begin to
bargain with any one for the proofs of the
Manor identity of the lost heiress of Hawksworthy
with her reputed graud-daugbter,
\ erui ena Poland,
Bitter hatred of the stolen girl'* parents
had pi evented the vindictive wretch from
ever reward desiring, even for the sake of great
in gold, to restore Verneena to her
bereaved father and mother—they having
aroused thehde of the wwmm by bearing
witness against her in court as a thief prior
to tbe kidnaping of their child.
than 1’robably, had she not secured no less
six thousand pounds in money when
she kidnaped the child, she would have
sold some of tho jewels. But that large
sum of money had given her a grand start
toward the wealth which we have said she
bad accumulated in New York by specula¬
tion and money-lending.
She had can fully preserved every jewel.
The jewelry was very costly, con-isting of
many golden rings, bracelets, brooches,
pins, necklaces, earrings, nnd the like, all
set with rare and beautiful gems of various
hu s, sizes, and shapes.
Dame Grippard glared gloatinglv at these
jewels, and handled them fondly, saying
the while to herself:
“I shall hate to give these up, if ever it
shall become neces'tiy to give them up as
proofs of the girl’s right to the great wealth
bequeathed to her by her two fond old
grandfathers. YVlnittnlel shall tell when
the nme comes to prove all, I have not yet
decided fully upon. Surrounding circum-
sta-.ces must dvcide that. My ability to
concoct a plausible lie will never fail me in
need, I tiust!
“This casket and all it contains must ac-
c impany me to Culm, where we will sell the
br ; g and take oilier menus of passage to
England, or wliereVer we may decide to go
first. Ti e jewels must always be near me.
“Aud that swolleu-livored fool, Balbata,
as be now calls himself,” she continued, as
-he locked the casket and put it back into
the safe, “shall be fed to tbe fish of the sea
as soon ns Marviuo and I h ive no longer
ne d of bis living. Mam o said every
nj!»:i of the brig would sooner serve him
than serve Balbata, I must plan some good
nnd safe way to be rid of the fel ow after
w T e sail.”
Soon after this a sharp rapping on the
shutter of one of her bedroom windows
attracted her attent ou. She opened the
w ndow, and Balbata's deep voice in a
wh'sper said without:
“ \\ all here, Senora. ”
e are
“Bravo, Captain! Go around to the front
door. All is safe and clear for your en¬
trance,” responded the dnme, who then
closed the window and hastened through
lbe cottngo hall lo tho front door.
She opened that door, and Balbata en¬
tered. fol owed closely by Bazilio and Ur-
,-a.ndt. The dame closed and locked the
door nnd led the three to her bedroom,
where she asked:
•• Where uid you leavo your carriage, Cap¬
tain?’’
“Before your front gate, Senora. Yov
bade us drive to that gate, you will remem¬
ber, Senora, so that were its appearing
tlit?r^ observed by any one, the fact would
add. to tho tale of the elopement we are to
3 pi cod to-morrow.’’
“We three alonehaveco-ne. Senora, said
Bazi io. “ I drove, for neither Captain Bal¬
bata nor our mate Urbandt know aught of
this locality. The horses are fastened to
your hitebing-post, Senora.” And

suppressed triumphant cunning in her

“Our mate lias succeeded in learning
where Hawksworthy will lodge to-night—
the same hold at which he has always
up iu ihe city—the City Hotel, But we
have fancied it will bo impossible to kidnap
him in the hotel, or to lure him elsewhere
without your aid, Senora.”
“By my soul!”growled Balbata, disoon-
tentedly. “it does not seem possible to-night. to me By
to make the scoundrel vanish

to-morrow and wipe him from the face

Ihe dame continued, after a moment’s
silent reflection:
“YVemust have Hawksworthy here, wholly

there at the same time whethor he be dead

At about six to-morrow morning I shall
pretend to discover hero that during the
right young Havvksworlhv has eloped with
•he girl, and that she drugged im- and my
rervant at supper to achieve success in the
intended elopement.”
“Saints of Castile!” exclaimed Balbata,
Admiringly. “YVhat superb cunning you
have displayed in all this, Senora!”
“Patience, Captain, you have more to
note. About eight o’clock to-morrow morn-
ing I shall join you at Old Anchors, and do
much move to establish and spread the be¬
lief that Hawksworthy and tne girl have
eloped—fled to Cuba—or with intention to
flee to Cuba—as we are to sail there our¬
selves in a day or two with our prize. ”
“But as lotbe young officer. Senora?”
“YVe will take him with ns —a few days’
sail either dead or a ive, Captain. The
broad ocean is a famous hiding-place for
dend men. Y’nb!”
“As merciless as ever," thought the out¬
law. “YVhat mercy would she have on me,
after all that has been between us, were
she to recognize me?”
“Mr. Bazilio," continued the dame, “ can
you play well the role of a mulatto car¬
riage driver? That is the part you are to
tako in the delivery of this decoy letter to
our intended game."
“I can play the part excellently, Senora
Grippard, I assure yon,” replied Bazilio.
“And 1 have brought with me, as you or¬
dered me to do when we separated at Old
Anchors, a dress suitable for such disguise. ”
“Yes; I designed that you should act as
our carriage driver to-night.” continued the
dame. ‘T will now stain your skin, and
aid yon to disguise js a mulatto coachman. ”
“I am ready, Senora."
“I hope you will be as successful as you
are wil ing, Mr. Bazilio. 1 rely upon your
intelligence and courage in this affair. It
will be bad for you if you fail to come up
to my wishes. ”
“Ah, Senora,” said Bazilio. with his usual
audac.ty, “I shall not fail io return with
our game—if he consents to come. If he
refuses to come, nnd alone, what else can I
do than return without him? I may fail to
find him. By my faith, Senora. do not ex¬
pect me to perform impossibilities. He
may have changed his hotel since sunset.
He muy no longer bo at the hotel named on
this decoy note.”
“True. But we must take our chances
in the matter. I think you will find him in
ihe City Hotel, as the girl has written the
address. But if you fail, be sure to be
here by lhree o'clock, or we may fail to
have the girl securely at Old Anchors be¬
fore daylight ”
Shortly after this conversation Bazilio
mounted the driver’s seat of ihe hired car¬
riage aud drove away swiftly, leaving Bal¬
bata and his outlaw father with the dame.

IHE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN*
DAY SERMON.
Subject: “Jealousy.”
Proverbs, Text: “Jealousy is Che Rage of a Man."—
vi., 84.
Rome subjects a religious teacher touches
one thousand times, now coining on them
from one direction, now from another. But
bero is a Bible theme that for some reason is
left teetotally alone. This morning, asking
your prayers and in the strength of God, I
w ant to grapple it.
There is an old sin, haggard, furious, mon-
strous and diabolical, that has for ages
walked and crawled the earth, ft combines
all that is obnoxious in the races, human,
quadrupedal, insectile, horned, ornithological, reptilian and
stinged; the of tusked, basilisk, hoofed, ranged,
eye the tooth or an
folds adder, the jaws of a crocodile, the crushing
of an anaconda, the slyness of a scor
pion, the the tongue of a cobra, and the coll of
worm that never dies. It is in every
community, lative hall, in every church, in every legis¬
in every monetary institution, in
every and professional drawing room levee, in every literary
hisses, circle. It whispers, it
it lies, it debauches, it blasphemes,
it damns. My text names it when it says:
at “Joalousy the is the rage of a man.” It is grief
in talent superiority of others; their superiority
or wealth or beauty or elegance or
virtue or social or professional or political
recognition. ple’s It is the shadow of other peo¬
success. It is the shiver in our pocket
book because it is not as fat as some one
else's pocket book. It is the twinge in our
tongue because it is not as eloquent as some
one else’s tongue. It is tiie flutter in our
robes because they are not as lustrous as
some one else’s robes. It is the earthquake
under our house because it is not as many
feet front and deep as our neighbor’s house.
It is the thunder of other people’s popularity
souring father the milk of our kindness. It is the
and mother both of one-half of the
discontent and outrages and detractions anil
bankruptcies human and crimes and woes of the
race.
It was antediluvian as much as it is post¬
diluvian. It put a rough stick in the hands
of the first boy that was ever born, and said
to him: “Now, Cain, when Abel is looking
the other way crush in his skull,for his sacri-
fiee _____
has been accepted and yours rejected.”
And Cain picked up the stick as though just
to talk with it, and while Abel was watch¬
ing some bird in the tree top, or gazing at
some first waterfall, down came the blow of the
assassination, which has had its echo in
all the fratricides, matricides, uxoricides,
homicides, infanticides and regicides of all
ages and ail nations. This passion of jealousy
so disturbed Caligula at the prominence of
some of the men of his time that he cut a
much admired curl from the bfow of Cinein-
natus, and took the embroidered collar from
the neck of Torquatus, and had Ptolomaeus
killed because of his purple robe, which at¬
tracted too much attention. Aftsr Columbus
had placed America as a gem in the Spanish
tiers crown, jealousy depreciate set on the Spanish cour¬
to his achievement, and
aroused animosities till the great discoverer
had his heart broken. Urged on by this bad
passion, Dionysius flayed Plato because he
was wiser than himself, and Philo.xenius be¬
cause his music was too popular. Jealousy
made Korah lie about Moses, and Sueeoth
depredate Jealousy Gideon.
made the trouble between Jacob
and Esau. That hurled Jowph into the pit.
That struck the twenty-three fatal wounds
into Julius Caesar. That banished Aristides.
That fired Antony against Cicero. Tiberius
exiled an architect because of the fame he
got for a beautiful porch, and slew a poet for
his fine tragedy. That s set Saul in a rate
against David. How graphically the Bible
puts it when it says: “Saul eyed David.” It
seems to take possession of both eyes and
makes them flash and burn like two port
holes of hell. “Saul eyed David.” That is
he looked at him as much as to say: “You
little upstart,how dare you attempt anything
great! I will grind you under my heel. I
will exterminate you, I will, you miserable
homunculus. Crouch, crawl, slink into that
rat hole. I will teach those women to sing
some other song, instead of “Saul has slain
his thousands but David his tens of thou¬
sands.” When Yoliair.' heard that Frederick
the Great wasforgetting him and putting his
literary the admiration on Bacaulard d’Arnaud,
old infidel leaped out of his bed and
danced the floor in a maniacal rage, and
ordered his swiftest horses hooked up to carry
him to the Prussian palace.
That despicable passion of jealousy led
Napoleon the First to leave In his will a be-
questof Wellington 5000francs to the ruffian who shot
at when the victor at Waterloo
waspnsBingthroughParis. SBsarftswsa That stationed
sr*
turned, and threw a chili on the family re-
union while that elder brother complained,
saying: “Who ever heard of giving roast
veal to such a profligate?’’ Ay, that passion
rose up and under the darkest cloud that
ever shadowed the earth anil amid the loud-
est thunder that ever shook the mountains,
and amid the wildest flash of lightning tbat
ever blinded or stunned the nations, hung up
on two pieces or rough lumber back of Jeru<
salem, the kindest, purest, lovingest nature
that heaven could delegate, and stopped not
until there was no power left in hammer or
bramble or javelin to hurt the dead Son of
That 0 ; jealousy, livid, hungry,
unbalkea, rages on, and now pierces the
earth like a fiery diameter and encircles it
bke a fiery circumference. It wants botli
and SSEfcJS dethrone Jehovah, t-X&eS.
and chain the Al-
mighty in eternal exile, and after the demo-
ntionor the universe would cry: “Satisfied
at ' a3t i here I am! Alone, the undisputed

and those jealous of each other, and all of
them jealous of America,
In our land this pas don of jealousy keeps
all the ,^ political world aboil. There are at
lea8t people who are jealous of Governor
Hill, an a would like to be his successor;
about 6000 who are jealous of Grover Cleve-
land, and would like to relieve him of the
cares of office, and after the nomina-
tions of next summer have been rnrde
a whole pandemonium of defamation,
and hatred, revenge, falsehood, turned pro-
fanity misrepresentation wdi be raising
upon this land. The tariff, about the
or lowering or reformation of which many
of them care nothing except as to its effect
on votes, will be discussed from a thousand
platforms, and the jieople of Louisiana will
lie told that tho tariff will be arrange i to suit
CRSSK*fi»'ratS«gftlS American and the people o? Penn-
tobacco,
sylvania will be to <t that the tariff will be
arranged to suit American tariff iron, and the
people of Ohio that the will be
arranged to suit American wool,
while Massachusetts and Connecticut
w ,u [ e promised protection for manufact¬
ures, and all the monetary interests, north,
south, east and west, will be told in each
neighborhood that the taxes and tariff will
be fixed to suit them, Presidential irrespective of any¬
body else; and, the election
over, all will settle down as it was before.
If you think that all this discussion in public
places is from any desire of the welfare of
the dear people and not for political effect,
you are grievously mistaken.

Heniemlier that envy dwells more on
small deficits of character than on great
forces, makes more of the fact that Doml-
tian amused himself by transfixing flies with
ms penknife than of bis grout conquests; of
the Iu i- fact a t that 'bat, he Handel erected was imperishable a glutton than of

Look at the sacred an t heaven descended
science of healing, and then see l)r. Macken¬
zie, the English surgeon, who prolonged tho
life of the frown Princo of Germany until he
became Emperor, and, I hope, may yet cure
him, so that he may for many years govern
that magnificent German nation, than which
there is no grander. Yet so great are the
medical jenlousies that. T)r. Mackenzie dare
not walk tho streets of Berlin. Ho is under

The obi doctors of Germany are writh¬

over Christendom. What shall the world do

a brutal se me of jealousy we had in
this country when President Garfield lay dy¬
ing. There were faithful physicians that
sacrificed their other pract ice and sacrificed
their health for ali time in fidelity to that
deathbed. Drs. Bliss end Hamilton an l At-
new went through anxieties and toils and
fatigues such as none but God could appre¬
ciate. Nothing pleased many of the medical
profession. The doctors iu charge did noth-
lny rl Hit IVe who did not fee 1 he casa knew

sick room for many weeks. I, who never Imd
anything worse than a run-round on my
thumb, which seemed to me at the time was
fraternity, worthy all the attention of tin- entire medical
had my own ideas as to how the
President ought to be treated. And in pro¬
portion as physicians and laymen were ignor¬
ant of the ease they wore sure the treatment
practiced was a mistake. And when in post
mortem the bullet dropped out of a different
part of the body from that in which it was
supposed to have been lodged, about 30,000
people knew shouted: “I told There you so.” “There, 1
it all tho time.” are some doc¬
tors in all cities who would rather have the
patient die under Hie treatment well of their own
schools than have them get under soma
ether pathv.
Yea- look at the clerical profession. Iam
sorry to say that in matters of jealousy it is
no better than other professions There are
nowin a'ldenominations a great many young
clergymen who have a faculty for superior
usefulness. But they are kept down and kept
back an 1 crippled by old ministers who
look askance at these rising evangelists.
They are suu'ihed. They are jostled. They
arc patronizingly advised. It is suggested
to them that they had bettor know their
place. If here and l here one with more nerve
jia Drain amt consecration and divine force
go past the seniors wbowvant to keep the chief
places, the young are advised in the words of
Scripture: “Tarry at Jericho till their beards
are grown.” Thevars They are charged with sensa
tionalism. compared to rockets that
go up in a blaze and come down sticks, and
the brevity of their career is jubi'antly jn oah-

a denomination without bishops, some of the
old:r men with nothing more than their own
natural heaviness and theo'ogical avoinln-
pois are advised to flatten out the innovator.
In conferences and and presbyteries there is often and associa¬
tions conventions seen tho
most damnable jealousies. Such ecclesias¬
tical had tyrants wo^ild of not them, admit and that they jealousy tako

on a heavenly plums air, balm of thousand sweet flowers, oil and
sugar and a
and roll uj) their eyes with an air of unctuous
sanctity when they simjdy mean the destruc¬
tion of those over whom they jiruy and
snuffle. There are cases where ministers of
religion are derelict and criminal, and they
must be put out.
But in the majority of cases that I have
witnessed in ecclesiastical trials there is a
jealous attempt to keep men from surjmssing
their theological fellows, and as at the presi-
dental elections in country places the jieople
have a barbecue—which is a roasted ox,
round which the jx-ojde dance with knives,
cutting off a slice here, and pulling out a rib
there, and sawing a beefsteak yonder, and
having a high time—so most of the denomi¬
nations of Christians keep on band a bariie-
cue in which some minister is roasted, while
the church courts dance around with their
sharp knives of attack, and one takes a finger,
another a hand, ar* her a foot, and it is
hard to tell whether the ecclesiastical plain¬
tiffs of this world or the demons of the
nether world most enjoy accomplished it. Albert Barnes,
than whom no man has more
good in the last 10DO years, was decreed to
sit silent fora year in the pew of his own
church while some one else occupied his pul¬
pit, the pretended offense that he did not
believe in a limited atonement, but the real
offense the fact that al I the men who tried
him put together would not equal one Albert
Barnes.
Yes, amid all professions and business
and occupations and trades, and amid all
circles, needs to be heard what God says
in regard to envy and jealousy, which,
though not exactly the same, are twins:
“Envy is the rottenness of the bone.”
“YY here envy and strife is, there is confusion
and every evil work.’’* “Jealousy is the rage
of a man.” My hearers, if this evil passion
is in any of your souls, cry mightily unto
God for itsexpulsion. That which has downed
kings and emperors and apostles and re¬
formers and ministers of religion and thou¬
sands of good men and women, is too mighty
for you to contend against unaided. The evil
has so many roots, of such infinite convolu¬
tion,that nothing but tine enginery of omnipo¬
tence Moses can pulj lift it 'd out. his Tradition hand says it that
when up to pray was
all encrusted with manna, and no sooner do
you pray than you are helped. Away with
the accursed, stenchful, blackening, damning
crime of jealousy. Allow it to stay and it
will eat up and carry off all the religion you
can pack into your soul for the next half
century. It will do you more harm than it
does any one it leads you to assail It will
delude vou with the idea that you can build
yourself up hy pulling somebody else down,
You will make more out of the success of
Others than out of their misfortunes. Speak
well of everybody. Stab no man in the back.
Be a honey bee rather than a spider; be a
dove rather than a buzzard.
Surely this world is large enough for you
and al! your rivals. God has given you a
work todo. Go ahead and do it. Mind
your own business. In all circles, in all busi¬
nesses, in all professions there is room for
straightforward.successes. lavlwarf Jealousy enter¬
tained will not oniy your soul but
it will flatten your skull, bernean your eye,
put pinchedness of look about your nostril,
give a bad curl to the image lip, and expel from
your face the divine in which you
were created. YVhon you hear a man or wo¬
man abused, drive in on the defendant’s side.
YVatch for excellences in others rather than
than for defects, morning glories instead of
nightshade, if some one is more beautiful
than you, thank God that you have not so
many perils of vanity to contend with. If
some one has more wealth than you, thank
God that you have not so great stewardship
to answer for. If some one is higher up in
social position, thank God that those who
are down need not fear a fall. If some one
gets higher oflt e in Church or State than
you, thank God there are not so many to
wish for the hastening on of your obsequies.

Mr. Moulder’s Cat.
Mr. A. J. Moulder, of Cincinnati, has
a remarkable cat which he calls “l go
Talbo.” The other night Mr. Moulder
came horns with his feet wet. He could
not find his bootjack, and as his boots
were a sizo too small he couldn’t remove
them anyhow. While he was seareking
for the boot-drawing appliance the cat
came into the chamber, remained a mo¬
ment listening to his master’s complaints
and his opinion of the missing and imple¬ with¬
ment’s spiritual deserts then
drew. Leaving the house the cat went
directly into the garden of an adjoining
house, looked up at a chamber, and ex¬
alted its voice in a song of prodigious
power. In a few moments the window
above was thrown up, and something
was hurled out with tremendous force,
striking the earth neur tho performer.
It was a bootjack, and “Ugo,” without
waiting to finish the note he had just
attacked, dragged the useful implement
up stairs and laid it at Mr. Moulder’s
feet. —Pittsburg Dispatch.
