I wan in one of my soundest sleeps when I was awakened by some one thumping on the door, and in answer to my query to wliat tney wanted a grulr. voice told me that the captain reqnosted my presence in his cabin. -Wondering what on earth had happened, I slipped into my clothes, dispensing with the luxury of a bath or wash. Anything to cause a break in the monotony was Welcome, and although I was one who enjoyed my bed I had ever found a difficulty iu falling in with the viow usually urged in regard to early rising I took this ac a godsend, simply for the excitement of I being called out at such an hour by the captain, who was not u man to give his officers needless trouble. I "What is it?" I asked of my senior : colleague as 1 paused to put In a few . more buttons. ; "Haven't the remotest 'idea," ho ro .plied. "Tho only thing I know is a chap arrived a few minutes ago in a , small boat, which is alongside now, evi ' dently hired from tho shore, and with out stating his business requested to see the captain. The watch hesitated about it and called mo. I saw there was an official air about tho man, so I knocked up the skipper, who now has the mys terious visitor with him, but what it is all about you might ub well ask the cel ebrated man in tho moon, to whom peo ple re generally referred under such circumstances, but it ought to be some thing important that gets everybody out of bed at this unearthly hour, " and he shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I suppose" I shall soon know something, " I answered, and I knocked at the door, which was at that moment opened by the captain. "Ah, is that you, Mr. Sharer?" and ho called to the first lieutenant, who had accompanied me to his door. "Show this gentleman to his boat, " and he spoke ft few words of goodby hur riedly. I just had time to glance at him and to notice that ho was, a tall,- well made, gentlemanly looking fellow, with all erect, soldierly bearing, and with a certain official air about him which tamped him as one having authority and accustomed to command. "Come in," said the captain, "there is some little excitement for you this morning. That gentleman who has just gone is well, I need not waste time over that.Aa it does not concern you. A large diamond valued at -something like 7,000 or 8,000 has been stolen. The two men bwre been tracked to Dur ban here, but titi night they hired a small sailing' boat and have mode off. Their luggage has beon overhauled at their hotel,, and as no trace of the miss ing stono has been discovered it is un derstood that they have it with them in the boat, their intention no doubt be ing to follow the coast until they fall in with some vessel that will get them and their diamond to some country where they can disposo of it. Tho boat, which they hired for tho avowed purposo of a pleasure trip, is about 18 feet long, is painted white, and has one square sail. I wish you to take the steam launch and go after them. They aro not experienced in the use of a boat, and they will, in all probability, not stray far from the shore. Keep a strict watch on them that they drop nothing overboard. If they do, take the bearings of the place so that divers can go down, if they do throw the stone into tho water, " and he made preparations for turning in again. I gave the necessary orders about the launch, and, with four Jacks, took my place in the boat The men were in ex cellent spirits after I briefly explained to them the nature of our work, and we were soon steaming along at a fair speed. The morning was cold, and now that I had got over the excitement of being turned out before daylight I was feel ing chilly. If there is anything that makes one feel miserable and melon choly, it Is that cold, unusual gray of dawn. There is an ashy clamminess in th air which pervades everything and seems to gain an entrance to one's vitals. As the silver light took possession of the expanse of deep I could see the men were narrowly scanning the stretch of waters for any signs of the boat . We wero running along about nine knots. This was considered pretty good then for a launch. The little wind had gone down, and the sea was now quite smooth. Occa sionally A breeze would paas gently over the water with just a perceptible ripple. I wag thinking now as to how I would act I felt pretty confident about get ting the men, but I wanted the diamond too. Various plana came Into my bead. I feared that when the men caught sight of as the stone would be quickly drop- ped into the sea. I mentioned my fears ito King. "I think, sir, "said he, going through various preliminary maneuvers In the way of shifting a large quid of tobacco from one eheak to another and wiping his mouth two or three times with, his hand, "I think, sir, if I was yon,' when we sights this 'ere weasel the beat thing will be not to make a signal nor hail I (hem. Just run on a if we wag going rigni past em wnnonc stopping, ana then bout ship suddenly and round upon them. This will allow us to keep an eya an their movements. ' i I saw there was wisdom in the old mans advice, and that his suggestion was good one. "'If wa discharged a gun to signal them to stop, they would know the game was up, and overboard would go the diamond," added King, and his remarks were reoeired with great attention by the rest "There she is, sir," shouted one of themes), and all eres turned la the di rectloa be pouted. "There, just on the starboard bow." My glass had scarcely boca abut up (uinntnL bat sosnvtimeg g slight hess will lift, and In second yon will see what yon have bees vainly swopp ing the sea far for boars. "That's her, sera enough." I aa noed as soon s I gnt my glass on her. fibe was -Sailing along slowly, dost bx to the lead.. I eomld distinctly em two lodlridnsJa. who seemed to be , lookntc toward a. I rather faary my own men wn disappointed that I eonld ant see the eamossl, for they ghmeed at me with aa air of expectancy, sod ths precsoos stone was the one Idea ap Twnaoat la their minds, for two of them Immediately chimed in with a about it. . . Keep steadily to your enves, I I to the man who wag stem lug. I sold the rthers tP Jt down, fcr 1 was anxious that we should not appear to bo in search of them, Keoping well out of sight myself, I trained my gloss on her and watched all their movements. As we got nearer I could see by their ges tures that they wero - regarding us with a certain amount of suspicion. From what I could nioko out they were about 800 yards front the shore and almost at a standstill,, but nu occasional puff of wind gave thorn headway. On our pres ent course we would pass them at about 100 yards disUuicoX My intention wus to go on as if wo were going to puss them and then hail them. I noticed now that the boat was heading for the beach. Suddenly there was a puff, followed by the report of a gun. I had my glass on them, but the man was firing in the direction of the shore, and I saw soma wild sea fowl rise. Several shots woro fired before we were near enough to hail. I wondered What they were doing. "Have you seen a similar launch to this pass you?" I shouted as wo slowed down. "What?" came over tho water. I hailed thorn again with the some question. It gave ns time to edge nearer. "No I" the two men bawled together. "Easy ahead," I said, and I waved my hand as if I had finished my bust ness, and I sat down in the stern sheets. Then I gave the order to stop and hailed thorn again. . "What ore yon firing at?" I shouted. . "Wild birds." "What?" I cried in return. "Wild birds!" was bawled again. "Any good sport?" I asked in a lower tone of voice. "Can't bear!" they shouted. , I motioned that I would come nearer, and the launch came round and W3 ran down to them. As we did so I saw tho man who had the gun raiso it with oaroful aim and firo in the direction of a mound on the shore. Again some birds rose at the report "Put hor alongside, King," and 1 motioned to King to take tho holm. "Yon threo jump into the boat and so cure these mou as soon ns wo touch. " Now was the exciting time. They hod thrown nothing into tho water so far, wos certain. Another minute, ana wo would have them. "Lot her come con tly alongside, " I said to King, and I gave tho ordor to ease her. The diamond was within reach. "Wo oro just having a little shoot ing, and thought of landing hero," re marked tho man with the gun, but ho eyed me suspiciously. What kind of birds arc there about here?" I asked casually. Wo wero within a couple of yards, and I was pre paring for tho spring. Before ho could finish his reply we were on them, tuul tho two men wero pinned to tho bottom of their own boat. I felt relievod, for I was fairly confident of succesfl. They admitted that thoyAvero from Durban, but denied all knowlcdgo of tho dia mond. They had heard of its theft, but thoy were not tho men. Of course wo did not believo that, and u rigid search at onco commenced. Tho men wero stripped and every inch of clothing ex amined, but no diamond. Having fin ished for tho time being,' wo transhipped them to tho launch and began a strict examination of tho sailing boat. Wo took up tho bottom boards and broke up tho seats and fittings, but without sue ccbh. The two men stormed ana threat ened and swore they wero merely a pleasure party uud vowed summary vengeance for tho outrage, as they term ed it. I was gruatly disappointed nt tho re sult of tho search, but King grinned and whispered in my car und advised thiit we rhonld return to tho ship. Wo watched every movement of tho men on our v uy back. I could see my own men wore db-nppointod, but their faces brightened up when. King whispered to them what ho bud told to mo. Every now and then ouo cf them would coino out with a guffaw, and the rest would smile. The two prisoners wero very indig nant at first, but they soon recovered and took matters very ooolly. One of them asked permission to smoke and opened - a small "bos of cigars tliat wo had brought from tho boot, tvbich was now being towed by us. Smoking led to talking, and I found that they wero really very plemant fellows. The dia mond, they oid; was called the "South African Prince" and would be worth quite 7,000, and conidurably more perhaps if the cutting turned out well. They repudiated the charge of theft, but admitted that tbry had just coino from one of the diamond camps. They seemed quits sure that. they would be able to satisfy tho captain wlien they arrived at the cruuxr. I was glad that they did take matters so pleasantly and apologized for pulling their boat about "Oh, it's not ours, " utid one of thenv "It Is a birod ouo, and the owner will eomo upon you for the damage." And tho two men laughed at this. J "Why, there' the Gadfly, " cried one of the Jacks. I I looked and found he was right,1 so s altered our course a point and steer- t-il ktruigbt for her. t ho was coming up i;uit kly, for they had righted us. In a very shtt tiiuo we were on board end steaming beck to burlaw. The captain was pleusod at the capture, but d imp pointed when be found that we had not cutnc across the diamond. Ho mid be would retain the two men prisoner, for awhile at least, until he heard from tho man who had visited hiut in the surly nuruiug. Cut as soon as we were off Durlaa he came in his boat to ns, and be pro ceeded to search tho mea again, after which be and the captain bad long cxmsoltation in the cabin, while I gave the story to the first lu-uteoant Ha In clined to the opinion that they bad snrv ooeded in dropping It crrerboard, hot I differed, and told Mm that from the m ment of sighting them I had carefully watr-brd thrir movements; but he shmrrd me half doses wayt as to how itoould bed no. However, I still adhered to my opinion. The cxmrermtion was cot short by a nwesage from the captain. - "I am sorry-," he said, aa I entered his cabin, "that I am But justined in detaining these men. Tbey have, I fear, ovtwiyad os." "Thi-y have probably of the stone before potting oat to sre,' re marked the straaremlUtary gvntinman, who, I found, was one ut the Inspectors under the illicit diamond art So the two sasa were brought hi sod told tbry mold go ssfcore when thry wished. .

They elected to stay c.n board tho cruiser for tho night. I fumy tho captain was glad to get off on fiu"h easy terms.1 I was just having a final whiff and thinking over tho events of the day Lo fore turning in when suddenly tho so lution of tho whole matter flashed upon mo, and I wondered why I had been so stupid. I think I took one spring into I the captain 'o cabin. Fortunately ho bad not retired. -Jio was smoking, and a c7i,.u of whicW won iienr liiuniimw. Hn listened as I explained tho absonco of the diamond. "That is the explanation of tho mys tery, I haven't a doubt," ho replied when I had4 finished. "You havo my authority to act as you suggest, " ho added, as I left him to rouse King. With as littlo fuss as possible we wero rowed ashore and lauded cn tho south point, taking euro to carry with us u re volver each. "Now, King," I said aa tho boat left us, "you're in for a ' long walk. ' - "Bight you aro, sir. " . He was too good a seaman to ask questions, and off wo set, keeping tho lino of tho coast "You know whereabouts tho boat was stopped yesterday?' ' I asked. "I think I does, sir," ho replied. "Well, wo havo got to walk there," I said. King lighted his pipe nntf wo trudged on. He was a good companion:, and dur ing that long night ho told mo a good bit of his history. I mado out that wo wero averaging four miles an hour. At daybreak wo stopped and mudo our breakfast off biscuit and a small tin of meat which King had provided himself with. I hud a flask of brandy. Whilo wo fiat I unfolded to him my plan and tho explanation of the missing diamond. " Why, yes, W, " he replied after a moment's consideration, "that is whero the diamond is, you con bo sure; bnt what shall wo do if tho wind changes?" "Tho wind holds irood at lircseut" I replied, but thoro wan something to bo feared if it died. 'About 0 o'clock wo reached what I considered was near tbo place whero wo had stopped tho boat on tho previous day, but ono could not bo certain. How ever, wo lay down among the- long grass, and King Imd mo to himself lor a good spell of shark Ktories. I bad my glass with me, and from time to timo kept a sharp lookout sou ward. Although King talked tho whole timo I don't think ho onco relaxed lii.'i scrutiny of tho expanse of v.-atcr to his lc ft. Evon when bo lighted Lis pips ho kept ono eyo souward. Ten, 11 mid 12 o'clock canio ; no sign:) of what I expected. About 2 o'clock wo wero rewarded by seeing our friends whoso acquaintance wo had made the day before. They wero coming along close into tbo shore, and about half a mile from us they took down the sail and rowed tho boat straight in for tho beach. Wo carefully watched their movement. For a mo ment cr two they seemed undecided; then they Vi alked up to ono of tho largo grassy hillocks and began to cxnniiho it Wo now shifted or.r pot-c of obt-x-rvutiou and moved to a pof itiou which cut them off from their liout, still keeping In-hind tho hillocks and crawling through tho long grass. lPor pcrhaim a quarter of an hour or more they examined tho green mound ; then ono whistled to tho other, and they walked off in the direction of tho boat, examining something very closely, carried by tho taller of tbo two, and evidently very satisfied with them selves. A minuto later and wo had them and the diamond. Tho firing the day before had not, as I guessed, been for the pur poso of shooting tho wild fowl. One of the shots Into the hillock bad curried the diamond, which they bad first im bedded iu lead and fired with a wi-aker charge of powder. Wo allowed them to find it, and when they bad dug it out of tho. mound wo arretted them. For a moment they wero inclined to show fight, but a loaded revolver tutu great moral force, and wo inarched them back to Durban. They got five yearn' im(iri.'nimriit, and we got 1,000, which wan equally distributed among tho hands. Wo wnjit another similar case.

Colonel Baker has perhaps taken more iuterost iu this work tbau almost uy other niouibor of tbo board. Ho says: ' " Wo have every reason to congratu late ourselves and tho people of the county who use the roads that tho effort to aiuistract modorn highways was bo- iguirlust summer. Of tbo 24 miles of roadway wo constructed last summer our reports do not show a milo thnt Is not in good passable condition. In many places where at this time last year the mud was axle deep to the ve hicles that attempted to traverse the public highways immediately after tho frost left tho earth wo now have (Inn, dry roadbeds over which heavy loads 'can be hauled. There has been more rain this season than lant. Tho work we did has certainly demonstrated th wisdom of the board in investing a con siderable sum of money in the road making machinery we purchased and put iuto operation. Wo were considera bly handicapped during a portion of tbo euson on account of the oxccssivo dry ness of the soil, which could not be per fectly compacted by our system of bar rowing and rolling. "At all points where the now road ways are not np to tho stundard it will be found that tho work was done when tbo ground was powder dry. Wherever we bad moist earth to work upon we gave n firm and solid basis for tho road that J not beon affocted by tho weather. The old Chaatnuqun road, where we did A COSKKCTICUT HIGHWAY. some good work early in tho season, la iu a high Klnt.1 of efficiency, and the furniers are pnlliug tho heaviest loads over it. This road was almost Impnssa ble for hi uvily l :di n wagons until this year. Wo i.ro fully satisfied witb tho work.wo did n:id shall coutiuao on tho sauio lines this svaaon und reconstruct many miles of tho principal highways in the county." Tho new method calls for tho uso of n Vi horsepower grader which Is used for removing tbo earth from tho sides of tho roudway and piling it up Iu tbo center. As fust as It is deposited thoro it is spread out and thoroughly pulver ized by a slender toothod harrow, wblch Is followed by n roller weighing several tons. The loose earth is put on in layers of only about an inch iu thick ness, each subjected to rcpoated rolling. In this way a roadway, often several feet in thickness, is built op, firmly compacted from top to bottom. Tho sur face has an oval form which sheds the water readily. Formerly in the public highways a short dlstanco from the city there was only one narrow roadway where nil of tho vehicles traveled, turn ing out only to pass each other. On tho new roadways a surfaco of from 80 to 40 feet is used. The roadiuaklug committee in tbo county board announces tbnt the same general plans of lost year will be fol lowed tlii year and that all of tbe taxes realized from tbo 1 mill levy in tho general road fund of tbe oounty will be devoted to the work. This fuud has yielded about (UO.OOO a year for many years, and It bat been tbe practice here tofore to apportion It to tbe several townships and permit it to be usod un der tbe direction of tbe township road supervisors, who have expended it, to gether with the additional township levy, to defray the cost of auuuully plowing up the roads. 1 he board will eudoavor to induce tbo city to consent Ibis year to tbe relinquishment of its tbsre of this fond to be used in making permanent roads iu tbe Immediate vl ciuity of town.

Wood c( Genesee county, Mich., writing in The Country Gentle man, rays there is more profit iu raising turkeys tbau in almost any other branch of poultry keeping. The young aro, however, exceedingly delicate, and considerable-knowledge of their needs is ueccfHiry in order Jto bo successful iu carrying them through the first fow weeks of their exlsteuoe. Once safely p::st this period (bey are extremely Lardy, disease rarely attacking them after tho red spots begiu to appear upon their beads. Tbo tett way to manage in order to get tbo moiteggs from the turkey hens is to gather tbo eggs carof ally every day frcin the nests when tbey bogin laying, and this for two reasons tbe egg are apt to become chilled by exposure to T. tho cold air of early spring nights, and secondly tbo hen will continue to lay longer than she otherwise would if they are removed. Tbe first clutch of eggs lixuld bo given to common hens to hntch, and tbo turkey will after a few il:.y j begiu to lay again. These eggs tho shonld be allowed to sit upon. Four weeks will bo roqnired to hatch out tho littlo ponlts, nnd as fast as tbey I rrak the shells they should bo removed (cfter they got dry) from tbo nest to a I r.r.ket by the kitchen firo during the t'jy, returning them to the nest at night. When all are out, remove tbe htu. and dust her feathers thoroughly with r.-yrctbrum, boldiug her by tbe text, heud down, during tbe process, to iiicuro the powder's reaching tbe body. This dusting should have been dono onco or twice during tbe period of in cubation to make sore tbe ban is not troubled with lice. i Tbo little turkeys should also be at- I tended to, for should there bo any large j nee upon the-neii tnoyattucK t lie young as scon as hatched, fastening themselves upon tbo head and nock, whence tbey nro dislodged with considerable diffi culty. Groase effectually disposes of thorn, however, und for this purpose pure lard is bast. Beware of lalpbur, keroscno oil or similar agents of de struction, for they will not only do ef fective work on tbo insects, but on the tender fledgeling as well. A neighbor triod the keroseno treatment to destroy lice upon her turkeys after tbey wore several weeks old, and every one of them diod, but of course tho lioo died also. Hub the lard thoroughly ovor tbe beads and necks, then put them with tbo mother hen. Frequent examinations should ho made to make euro there are no Insects upon tbom.
