lie stamped with his heavy foot upon
the floor Of the room.
The echoes brought back in their in
visible arms the sound. and let it rip
pie out again until it struck the walls
once more. and fell into the vast void
of silence
A bat. disturbed by the unusual ac-
tivity, darted from corner and blindly
dashed in eccentric convolutions about
the dusty building.
Great ropes of cobwebs hung down
from the ceiling. and across the corner
of the room dead flies swung lightly in
the hammocks the spiders had fastened
there.
The dust rose i'm listless clouds from
the shock of the heavy football, and
sank again, overcome by its own merits.
Even the air was resting.
The spirit of the desolation of desola-
ton seemed to pervade the place.
The woman looked fnrtively around
upon her dim surroundings and shiv-
cred.
The man laughed harshly.
''Alone. said, he growled.
YES" she murmured
A faint light struggled in through the
great windows in 'front.' thick with
dust.
"Where are we?" she whispered. and
shivered as the bat dashed into her hair.

SEX IN DIAMONDS.

A Jeweler Who Believes There In Sex In
Everything. Even In Diamonds.
In the big show window of a New
York jewelry store rested small tray
that gathered crowd of curious spec
tators to the window. Every time the
sunlight played upon the plate glass
the tray corr uscated with prismatic
hues of dazzling brilliancy. The tray
is well known to the trade. 1t is de-
signed to display the remarkable varia
tions of the color of large African mine
diamonds, and contains examples Of all
the colors known. 1t possesses great
interest for novices in gems, and the
jeweler is called upon half dozen
times day to explain the beauties OF
the specimens
1T took q long time to get this col.
lection together" the jewelcr said,
land it is the only one in the town of
the kind thus arranged. You see here
the brown diamond. the absinthe, the
canary or yellow, the gem. the pink.
the rote, and the coffee and the green
diamond. The effect of these combina-
tions in the sunlight is enhancing.
Each predominant hue seems to impart
distinct luster to the prismatic scintil-
lations. When the tray is swung to
and fro in the sunbeams it gives forth
as you see perfect blaze of rainbow
colors. These gems also illustrate diff
ferent cuttings of the diamonds. Were
they all set in u bracelet or brooch or
necklace they would make a rarely
beautiful trinket, but it would cost a
heap of money"
The ieweler picked out one sparkle
with pair of diamond tive ezers and
held it forward in the show window.
This is Brazilian gen." he said,
like which there is only one other in
the world, in Paris, and the French one
is not as pure or as large as this. This
is what is called black diamond and
is valued at twenty-five hundred dol
lars. 1t weighs trifle less than four
karats. Its beauty lies in the fact that
it changes its color in different lights.
In this strong sunlight you see it is al
most black, but it gives forth a pris-
matte radiance greater than that emit
ted by the best of the black gems. In
gaslight. you observe, the black hue
becomes rich golden brown, and the
play of colors is changed, too. Dia-
monds of this sort are regarded by the
superstitious miners as gold stones,
that is. gems possessing power of i'm
parting good luck to the owner in the
search for hidden gold. This stone was
secured in Paris, whittier it was brought
in rough for cutting by Rio Janeiro
merchant.
Here" continued the jeweler. lis
another curiosity" He picked up IA
three-karat white stone with the tweez.
ers. 1T is a specimen that will prove
to you that there is difference of sex
in the gems. This is what is called the
female, multiplying diamond"
lie held the gem under a strong mag
nifying glass and pointed to four or
five smaller diamonds, clustered about
one of the facets at the edge of the ia
BILE of the stone. The male gem, the
jeweler said, lis sharp-pointed and
never gathers these embryo gems.
There is a fine specimen alongside that
pink stone. 1t surprises most people
who see those specimens to be told that
| they are of different sex as well as col
ors, but such is the ct."-Jewelers'

Practical Philanthropy.

Mrs Alice Lincoln is the owner of a
number of small houses at the north
end of Boston which she rents to poor
people. She enforces stringent rules
of cleanliness and sanitary living
among her tenantry, many of whom
have an hereditary aversion to soap
and water. Encouraged by her sue
cess Mrs. Lincoln is now trying to in
duce moneyed men to buy certain
short street and erect thereon neat
homes for the poor, which would in
sure to them at cheap rates not only
greater breathing space and opportu-
nifty for expansion, but IA degree of gen.
tcel comfort which of itself would in
spire them to look upward and to feel
more ambition. Mrs. Lincoln is the
daughter of Mrs. Towne, well remem-
bered for her philanthropie and gener-
Gus deeds, and. therefore, comes natur
ally by her broad vision of the claims
of others. Mrs Towne bought and
preserved for public woodland drive
a number of miles of forest on either
side of her home in Essex.

An Old Fashion.

The following explanation of why
clergymen always wear black shows it
to be not only an old custom. but one
with purpose. 1t is sand that in 1924,
when Martin Luther decided to lay
aside the monks costume and adopt
the fashion of the world, he chose black
as an appropriate color not only be-
cause the electors of Saxony, who
took an interest in him, often sent him
II piece of black cloth as a gift, but be-
cause he really preferred it to any
other. Of course his scholars thought
it became them to wear the same color
as their master, and SO was set fash.
ion that has ever since been adopted by
clergymen Of all denominations. -.

As II Translator She Excels Hugo.

A woman we'll known in the French
literary world, Nine. s Arnaud, has
just completed the formidable task of
translating Shakespeare's sonnets into
French verse. Victor Hugo had al
ready translated them into prose. But
critics give Nine Arnaud's work the
preference as being of course less liter
al, but vigorous and rendering with ac-
curacy figures of speech familiar to
Shakespeare, but foreign to the i'm
agery of the French poets, and also she
has kept we'll to the form of the origin
