MY LADY'S NECKLACE,

Mr. Martingale, the well-known jeweH«3f Bond street, was uneasy in his mind. Ina.weak moment he had yielded to the earn-est solicitations of Lady Tynedate, and badadvanced to her a considerable sum ofmoney upon the security" of her diamondnecklace. It was not that hie consciencepricked him, for he held a large quantity, ofher ladyship's jewelry ia pawn, and confid-ently counted on making a handsome profitout of his numerous transactions with her.Bat the necklace in question unfortunatelydid not really belong to Lady Tynedale, be-ing an heirloom in her husband's family,and consequently, notwithstanding its in-trinsic value, it was practically worthless asa security. He pointed this out to her lady-ship, and explained that Lord Tynedalemight insist upon the jewels being restoredto him should he hear of tho matter. Mylady, however, was so confident of beingable to redeem it in a few days, and protest-ed with such evident sincerity that she darednot part with any more of her own jewelry,for fear of arousing her husband's ffuspi-dons, that Mr. Martingale* having a Keeneye for business, advanced the moneyagainst his own judgment, and kept thenecklace.

But, as.before mentioned, he felt very un«easy when he reflected o w n what he haddone. If lady Tynedale should fail toredeem the necklace, he would certainly losehis money, since he would not dare to real-ize his security. In addition to {his disa-greeable contingency, it occurred to Mmthat £ord Tynedale. probably kept a strictwatch upon the famitj jewels, knowing hiswife's passion for gambling; and if he dis-covered the destination of the hefctoom, bislordship would be sure to make a scene.Under these circumstances, Mr. Martingaledid not allow the day named by myJady forredeeming the necklace to pass 'by withoutwriting her a poEfe reminder; and findingthat his letter had no effect, he screwed upbis courage and wrote a second time, usinglanguage as firm and peremptory as he could

While anxiously awaiting a reply to thiscommunication, he was startled at receivinga visit from Lord Tynedale, who strode intothe shop one morning, and confronted theembarrassed jeweller before he had time tocompose himself.

"Mr. Martingale,".he said abruptly, " Iunderstand from my lady that she has lefther diamond necklace here to be denned."

"Yes, mj lord," falterod the jeweller, toomuch taken aback to consider his reply.

" I was vexed when I heard of it," saidLord Tynedale, " for I did not like my ladyparting with the necklace without my knowl-edge. However, Mr. Martingale, as youhappen to have it in your possession at thlrmoment, I want you to do me a favor."

" Certainly, my lord. Proud, I'm sure,1

replied Mr. Martingale, with inward misgiv-ings.

" The fact is, that Twant you to lend mesome money upon it," said Lord Tynedale." You know the value of those things. So Ithought I might as well come to you. Ihave an unexpected payment to make—adebt of honor, to tell you the truth—and Iwould rather not trouble my agent about thematter.'*1'

" Quite lo , my lord; I understand, per-fectly," replied Mr. Martingalo, as briskly as.possible. '' How much might your lordshiprequire ?"

"Seven thousand pounds, and I musthave it at once."

Mr. Martingale started, and turned hotind oold by turns. He dared not tell LordTynedale that he had already advancedlarge sum upon the neoklaoo; yet for thatvery reason it was quite out of tho questionto think of lending any more oupooially as itnow. appeared that his lordship was in thehabit of contracting debts of honor, as wollas his wife. Lord Tynodalo had tho roputa,tion of being a wealthy man, bat hii appli-cation for a lprto was an unpleivmin revolution.The jeweller Was too muoh of a mnn of theWorld to believe a word of the ntory of LordTynedalo not oaring to apply to his agont.A person in his lordohip'H station would no?1

attempt to raise money ou the family jewelsunless every other expedient had fallal.

"WeuT'exolairoodttiy lord, impatiently,M Mr. Martingalo Icopt Bilonoe, looking thoptotura of embarrassment.

" The truth is, my lord," said tho jowellor,nervously, " that much as I should like toaoMimma4ata voor lordnhlo. I foar I cannotdo so at tho moment, l am extremely sorry,but money \M very tight Ju.t now, n»y loid,

" Glve—glvo you tha nooklooe, my lord f"repeated Mr. Martittgale, blankly.

" Yes j t had an offer of 110,000 for it ashort lima ago, and I think I shall sail i t"

"But~bt.4mylord.lt was t«ft ban lo t»cleaned. It is not ready jet," attad th*

Mr. UartrngtS, who was the mildest ofawn, and stood Toy much in awe of LordTynedale, did hot venture to say anotherword, but turn! ted for the keys of the strongroom, and disaiipeared to fetch the n«eklaceThe truth wai, however, that he had re-solved not to put with if under any circum-stances, and th > errand was only a pretenceto enable him to gain a few minutes forcalm reflection. He felt that his only chanceof getting reps d by I*dy Tynedale was t&retain possess on- of the nw&laee, and hetherefore had o consider whether it wouldnot be foBoj to advance the money hislordship requ red. - The offer of £10,600which Lord Tynedale had spoken of wai afancy price; but the necklace was worthmore than the sum he had asked upon i tAfter some hesitation, Mr. Martingale Re-turned to the shop and said: 1

" My lord, on second thoughts, I think* Ican nonage that little matter with the aid ofafrlicuL"

" Oh r very well, Mr. Martingale," saidhis lordship, in a tone of relief, having ap-parently been occupied with unpleasant re-

" I shall be there, my lord," said Mr.Martingale, .rushing forward and openingthe shop door obsequiously ; and bis lordshipstepped into the street, little imagining whatft mouvais quart d'heure his visit had beento the jeweller.flections, in the interval " I don't want togo anywhere else, and I would rather notsell the necklace. Shall we say the dayafter to-morrow, then ? If you will callupon me at my house at 4 o'clock, I willsign whatever form of receipt you may con-sider neoessary in exchange for the money.1

Mr. Martingale kept fhe appointment andparted with his money, taking the precau-tion to obtain Lord Tynedale's signature toa carefully drawn legal document, givinghim authority to dispose absolutely of thenecklace unless the loan were repajd withina specified time. His lordship's ready ac-quiescence in this stringent condition was nodoubt due to the knowledge that his situaBon was desperate, and the jeweller felt cer-tain that the necklace would never be re-deemed. But if Lord Tynedale was in diffi-culties, the prospect of recovering anythingfrom my lady was very remote. However,on carefully reappraising the value of LadyTynedale's jewelry which he had in pawn,Mr. Martingale was relieved to find that thedifference between tbs sum advanced to mylord and the price he might fairly expect torealize by selling the necklace, would morethan cover the balance of her ladyship'sdebt If, therefore, he could prevail upoaLady Tynedale to pay him something on ac-count, were it only a few hundred pounds,he would have the consolation of feeling{hat he had been ft gainer upon the whole

Ion, a consummation which greatlycommended itself to his acquisitive eouL

After mature reflection, Mr. Martingalewrote a diplomatic letter to Lady Tynedale,offering, if she would pay him a moderatestun in cash within a week, to keep the jew-elry she had deposited with him in satisfac-tion of his cham against her. He explainedhis liberality by saying that he was at themoment pressed for ready money, andeluded by a threat to sue her ladyship J fthese terms were pot acceded to.thought he was doing a clever stroke of busi-ness in making this offer, and was, there-fore, secretly delighted* when Mr. Graves,Lord Tynedale's familyflolioitor; called uponhim a few days afterwards, and said that herladyship had instructed him, to settle heidebt upon the terms mentioned.

"It is understood, of course, Mr. Martin-gale, that the jewelry you are to keep doesnot inolude the diamond necklace," said Mr.Graves, producing his check book. "Thetruth is, my lady ought not to have partedwith the necklace, for it belongs to her hus-band. That must be given up."

Mr. Martingale bowed, but did notmit himself by a verbal reply, and the lawyerunsuspiciously proceeded to write out acheck, which he presently handed over inoxchange for a rqoeipt hi full disohare.

And now, Mr. Martingale," said Mr.Graves, "I must ask you to hand > me thenecklace. Here is her ladyship's written au-thority."

"Iamafraidloannot part with it," an-swered the jeweller, with secret exultation."The fact is, I hold it as seourity for a loanto Lord Tynedale."

" A loan to Lord Tynedale!" ropeated thelawyer, in surprise.

"Yes; £7,000," replied Mr. Martingale." So that is how ho got the money 1" ex-

claimed Mr. Graves, shipping his knee andgiving a grin whioh the jeweller did not quitelike. "What a very singular coincidence!I must tell you, sir, that when you firstwrote to her ladyship pressing for paymentthe was so frightened by the tone of yourletter that she went to her husband and con-fessed that she owed a Urge sum of money'altogether £7,000. Lord Tynedale is themost punctilious and honorable of men, andthough he was dreadfully disgusted hehanded her the money without asking queutions on the understanding that she ehoulcinstruct me to settle with her creditors. Iuould not imagine where ho had raised sclarge a sum at such short notice, for I knewhe had not gtmllad to bin barikom nor to hisagents. Evidently ce preferred to got themoney in an traUWhand way through you tolotting those about him into the secret of mylady's extravagence."

"I—I naturally supposed that his lord-ship was preened for money," said Mr. Mar.tingole, looking very crestfallen.

" Of oonrao; that is the rosult of the nn-husinom-liko »top his foolish pride prompt mlhim to take; and so I shall tall him," saidMr. Graves. " Lord Tynftdale's estate is en-tirely unonoumbered, and, In spite of tnylady, he spouds little mors than half his in-come."

"Thou tho nooklaoe will bo rodoomod, oicoarse?" said tho Jowellor, faintly.

As Phila- ^thought, irideed ! when in all probability hisdelphia has a population only 200,000 in ex- 'cess of this number, it should be understoodthat nearly all these artificial teeth go out-side. Philadelphia chews with its naturalgrinders. Five tons of tooth powder aresent out annually. In the dental industry.750 hands are employed.

Before the invention of artificial teeth itwas customary to supply the loss of teeth byfixing the crown of a sound tooth on the rootremaining, or to transplant an entire toothfrom one month, to, another, dentists payingas high as two guineas each for them. Thenfor awhile the teeth of cattle were used.Next came hippopotamus ivory, which wascarved to suitable shapes.

Cheaper teeth were made from elephantivory and bone, but none of these weresatisfactory, and something better watwanted.

In 1817 Dr. A. A. Planton came to Phila-delphia from Paris, bringing with him somerudely-made porcelain teeth. He made aset of teeth for Charles Wilson Peale whichiid not suit Mr. Peale, and set him tothinking if he OQaid do better. He began toexperiment, and, assisted by Mr. AbramMiller, a potter, was successful beyond hisexpectations. Ho was the first io insert aplatinum wire in teeth before baking, whichwas a great step forward.

The next experimenter was Samuel W.Stockton, in 1825. He set out with a differ,ent end in view—h«- aimed to supply thadentists, and, giving bis whole attention tothis, succeeded ia a; few years in building upthe largest business, at p i t time, in bis linein this country, his anpual product beingabout 500,000 teeth. In 1840 he made singleind blook teeth, with colored gums, prob-ably the first made in! this country. Histeeth were not prepared aocordingto an un-varying formula, and consequently lacked

pensable.Dr. Elias Wildman was more successful,

and about 1837 he produced very life-likeeffects that were remarkably uniform.

But during these years a youth was grow,ing up in Stockton's factory who was des-tined, or rather who wals determined that hewould advance to the front rank in his pro-fession. His name was Samuel StocktonWhite. He was Stockton's nephew andapprentice, and in 18H[ when in his twen-ty-second year, he began to " hoe his ownrow "in a dwelling at Seventh and Babestreets.

In the garret he made teeth, and in anoth-er room he practiced dentistry. Here wasborn the establishment pwhich was to be thelargest of its kind in the world. In 1868 heerected the splendid building at the south-

x of Twelfth and Chestnut streets.To his intelligent and steadily persistent ef-forts are due in a very large degree the highesteem in whioh Philadelphia made teethand instruments are held in every portion ofthe globe. No complaint of defective goodswas passed unnoticed. Having at one timesome complaint of forceps breaking, he or-

dered a rigid reinspection of all on hand,which resulted in the condemnation of morethan $3,000 worth of forceps, all of whichwero thrown into the scrap heap.

-HOW ELEPHANTS MULTIPLY.

The elephants are, of all known animals,the Blownst to increase in numbors. At th«earliest, the female elephant does not be-como a parent until the age of thirty years,and only six young are capable of beingproduced during the parental period, whichappears to cease at ninety years of age, theaverage duration of elephant life being pre-sumed to be about a hundred years. But itis most interenting, as well OB important, inview of any speculation on tho increase ofipecics and on the question of competitionamong tho races of animal life, to reflodthat, given favorable conditions of existence,inch as a lufficioncy of food, a freedom fromdiao&HO and from the attack of enumiea, theelephant race, slow of increaso suit in, would

I thought frequently the old net would0 pieces, for it was never before subject-o such rough handling as it received

that morning. In the midst of all this thething jumped out of the wate^ not morethan seven feet away from the boat. " Ifit ain't a shark!" yelled Johnson, who im-mediately seized a hatchet that lay in thebottom of our boat and stood ready to hackit to pieces as soon as it came within reach.But we did not succeed in capturing hir^ aseasily as. we calculated upon. The next

e he appeared on the other side of theboat which he came near capsizing by divingunder it. The net became entangled abouthim worse than ever\ at this juncture, andafter floundering about for two minutesJohnson leaned over and buried the hatchetin his side. Then there was a circus. Theshark sunk out of sight and came nearswamping the boat, by puffing on the net,which I had fastened to a cleat. When hecame to the surface he dashed wildly at theboat and strained the bow so badly that itbegan to leak terribly. Both of us pulledon the net with all our strength. The water

riund us was red with blood. Johnsonsucceeded in cutting a big gash in the

tail of the monster, whioh he followed' np aminute later by spearing him with the gaff.Then it was the shark, maddened with pain,boldly tried to oruncb. the side of the boat inbis huge jaws. 'Now give it to, him!' Iscreamed to Johnson who began to ply thehatchet at a very lively rate. The monstermaintained his hold on the boat all the timeJohnson was dealing him such terriblewounds about the head and belly. Theblood sported oat of the fish every time hesank the hatchet in him, whioh covered itsfrom head to foot. We were well scared, Imost say, because we thought it was a caseof .life or death with either the shark or our-selves. We were miles away from the land,and we knew that if the boat was swampedand we escaped the shark we could neverswim ashore. The knowledge of these factslent add i t iona l strength, and although Iwas well nigh exhausted I seized a bar ofIron which lay at my feet and aided Johnsonin beating the shark about the head until heceased to struggle. We finally got himquelled so that we pulled him into the boat."—Philadelphia Beeord.

THE COURTESIES OF TRAVEL.

It is couimon;to *ay that, iu losing the oldstagecoach, we have lost: that comfortable.sociability which once mode travel so greatcharm. But we have lost something more.We have lost that humane instinct. which,it the olden times, made all travelers considerate of one another. Travel—travailthe derivation of the word is suggestive. Itwas work, and hard work, in the old days,and out of the common strain and the com-mon hardship came a cooperative and fra-ternal spirit which transformed its hardshipsinto pleasurable memories. But the Full-man car is a refrigerator. In transporting-fruit from California, the first condition isthat there shall be coldness, and then—iso-lation,other.

ECCENTRIC PEOPLE.

"Do you see- that man going off with thatill boy ?" asked a clerk in one of the lead-

ing hotels in this city of a reporter for thaFree Press yesterday. An affirmative aa-jwer was given, at whioh the clerk contin-ued:— "That man is worth hundreds oithousands of dollars, and is at the head of abusiness which probably amounts to upwardof $1,000,000 a year, yet he cannot wrrtehis own name. lie stops with us foar or

times a year, aad I always register hisname for him without asking any qoeetioM,for I know of his inability, and he knows thatI know i t" ' | - -";
