In Kansas about twenty years ago, and dur
ing a certain summer we received on a sem

named Joe Williams. He had been sentenced
for attempted horse stealing, and my father
knew that a sharp watch must be kept over
him or be would take French leave.
Joe had put in about two weeks on his term

cousin. "Stebp was peppery old chap and

Indians, run down more horse thieves and
helped lynch moro desperadoes than any other

with plain but stout iron grated door lead

warm, both corridor doors were open. When
we looked in on Joe he said.
"See here, Steb, hear you are Dragging a
good deal about how many men you have put

Most people have an idea that the diamonds

our great New York jewelry houses are con-

new places TO find them.
1t is not 50 long ago that Tiffany & Co. had
their expert, George Kunz, hurry away to an
interior Kentucky town, where it had been
reported that some precious stones had been
found along the hill sides that bordered the

built several bay windows over the alleys
