Story OF a Diamond.

''There's the most beautiful damon
] have ever seen during an experience
Of thirty years with the sparkling
gems" said veteran diamond mer-
chant to a Philadelphia Inquirer man,
as he held up a stone that Sc mel to
live in fire. From every facet radiated
brilliant colors, and the hue Of the
stone was that steely blue which elights
every eonnolsseur Of the precious gems.
The diamond did not weigh over six
karats, but it was easily worth $4,000.
"That stone has tragic history
continued the man Of jewels, as he laid
the diamond to rest amid nest of
snowy cotton. "lt comes from the De
Beers mines, in south africa, and was
discovered by a cody employed by the
company. His practiced eye saw that
the gem was a marvellous one for beauty
Of color, and desire to steal it over
came him. Well, he did steal it, and
to conceal the diamond about his per-
son cut a hold in his flesh under the
arm. But the wound did not heal, and
the obseryant eye Of the foreman saw
what was the matter A few days after
he charged tho cody with having
stolen diamond, hut the African
denied it.
when Jack, the foreman, reached
for his sore arm the thief made a dash
and ran toward the outskirts of the
camp like deer. The foreman fol-
lowed him, but the fleet footed native
outstripped him. He knew that
severe punishment awaited him if cap
tured, and centered all his effort on
getting away with the stone, whose
value wou have made him rich for
life. But Jack was equal to the en-
ergency, and drawing his pistol shot
the cody through the back just as be
was taking to the hills. His dead body
was dragged back into camp, his arm
cut open, and this beautiful gem in the
rough was taken from the insertion.
It's tragic story, but true as gospel,
aud only sample of what has happened
more than hundred times in the dia-
mond mines of South Africa"

Then Tom, blushing crimson, began
TO talk again about the tin box and old
Hiram Green's will.
Left erything to Jacob" said the
lawyer; 'the house, real es tate, and
| personal effects" "
"And Jerry2"
"Was not even mentioned in the will.
Hiram Green never forgave Jerry for
failing in business, declared he had no
head, and wasn't fit to be trusted with
money.
''He was his nephew, though, just
as much as Jacob, and he nursed him
faithfully at the last. "
but Jerry is dreamer. Jacob will
double every dollar the old man left,
while Jerry would probably spend a
legacy In year or two.
1t was not alone in the lawyers office
that the subject of Hiram Green's will
and the disappearance of the tin box
we're topics of conversation. Every
body at Rye Hill had an opinion to ex-
press, theory to advance. Mrs. Jacob
Green and Mrs. Jerry Green were talk :

looking moodily down the garden path.

wife, "that he will find that box, if it's
above ground"

muttered Jerry, unheard by the Others.
He says" continued Mrs. Jacob,
'that it will take heap of money to
put this house in decent repair, and
settle the business! Dearl Dearl He
talks as if his uncle's legacy left him
poorer, instead of richer"

1t is rather surprising that we cannot
Jet positively answer the old question,
Why is the sky blue2 Professor Tyn-
dali explained the color as due to the
smallness of the solid particles in the
air, which are thus able to reflect only
rays of short wave-length; but later
investigator, Professor Hartley, believe,
that the mysterious ozone exercises some
influence on the rays, as small quan,
tity of ozone gave sky blue in a tube

Wholesome AnnIes.

1t is not claimed for the apple that it
is complete food in itself, but on the
food list it possesses a value far above
the nutrients it furnishes. Apples aid
the stomach in the digestion of other
foods. and, therefore, the best results
are obtained from eating them after,
rather than before, meals. If one feels
that he has eaten more dinner than is
compatible with his after comfort, he
will find that an apple will facilitate
an early dig estion and afford greater
relief than an alcoholic drink or drug
store prescription.

A Bullet Rattles in His Head.

For over % years Fletcher Wright,
who lives near Dawson, has carried a
bullet in his head, wound received in
one Of the battles in Virginia. This
mimic ball shifts around at one time in
the front of the head, at another time
in the back. At times this bullet gives
Mr.. Wright much uneasiness while at
work in the field by its shifting about
and the rattling noise it makes in the

But afterward the whole nature of the
man seemed changed. Knowing the
sympathy of the people about him was
with him, he was never weary of telling
Of his wrongs; and he made nc secret Of
his delight at the disappearance of the
Tin box, and the large slice of property
it contained.
A year passed away, and then all Rye
Hill knew that Jerry Green lay ill with
fever, and the doctor had given him
up. Very sick indeed he was, and
Sally was heart broken, when one day
he whispered request to see Lawyer
olmpNins alone. Seeing a lawyer
seemed to poor Sally a death warrant,
though Jerry had no fortune to will
away
Wondering, but ready to humor the
whim of dying man, the lawyer an-
swered the summons at once.
Mr.. simpkins, will you promise to
keep secret what / tell. ya..s.. ..2sS3<
Jerry asked in hoarse whisper.
Certainly will; lawyers have to do
that every day

an keep your secret, Jerry, for
believe you when you say you were
half mad"
Great was the excitement at Rye Hill
when it became known that Lawyer
simpkins had had a communication
from the party who had stolen the tin
box, confessing the theft, and revealing
the hiding place. There was a group
of half the people of the village in
front of Jacob Green's porch when Jor-
rvs carpenters work was torn away
and the earth that covered the buried
treasure removed. Lawyer simpkins
took small key from his pocket.
Stop moment" he said, as Jacob
Green was about to take the box, ''as
executor of Hiram Green estate, |
must open this box and see if the con-
tents are all right"
There was a sudden catching of
breath audible as the lid Of the box fell
back. On the top was an open paper,
and Lawyer simpkins read aloui;-
u, Hiram Green. do give and bequeath
this box and all it contains to Sarah. wife
of my nephew jeremiah Green. I leave it
to her as token of my love for both.
and because think she will be more care
ful of 1t than my nephew And do ask
of my lawyer, Robert Simpkins. that he do
see my wish carried out, and give to Sarah
his advice about investing the money.
HIRAM GREEN
There was one moment of intense ST.
lence and then a cheer rent the air.
Every man there was glad that the
miserly, grasping Jacob Green was dis
appointed, and every man rejoiced for
Jerry and Sally.
But the sick man was humble as
child when the lawyer told him the
news. He did not die, nor did anyone

1t was just three days before his
uncle died that Jerry learned that Hiram
Green had left his entire property to
Jacob, already the richest man at Rye
Hill. Then the bitterness of his disap-

brain, and Sally trembled for his rea-

were, his disregard of money and want
Of business capacity, Jerry Green was
man to win strong affe ctions. And it
was the fact that even Hiram Green
kept up a sort of grulging affection for
him that made Jerry hope he would not
entirely forget him in his will.
When his last illness attacked the old
man, it was to Jerry he turned for the
affection Jacobs harder nature could
not make acceptable. 1t was Jerry and
Sally who nursed the invalid day and
night with faithful, unwearied care, and
it was with bitter sense of wrong that
Jerry knew himself to be disinhe rited.
Still the mans gentle nature overruled
his anger, and the last three days of
Hiram Green's life were as tenderly
nursed as if Jerry knew himself to be
