self upon his lucky escape until he glanced
at his ruined shirt-front and saw that his Joy
and pride, the magnificent diamond, was
missing. A hurried search was made, but
the. stone could not be found. The gold
setting remained in the shirt and Mr.. Zim-
norman became convinced that while he
was being hauled in over the rail the dia-
mond was torn from its setting and fell into
the sea. He offered a reward of $500 to any
one returning the gem, but gave up all hope
of seeing it again.
Captain Richardson, in charge of Colonel
Keliy's yacht, got an idea into his head that
the diamond might have slipped down in
side the woodwork of the boat. Colonel
Kelly told him to tear out the entire interior

The captain went TO work and removed a
considerable portion OF tie inner shell of
the yacht. Finally he got down as far as

hands upon his arms.
Father" she cried, what JOY could come
to me now?''
He stepped aside and pointed to the GEN.
trail figure Of the group Of men. Whatever
the emotion she experienced, it swept over
her like a food and carried away on Its tide
the detection and the misery that had made
her face remarkable. She made no sound,
but stood like one entranced. while her mind
and her heart adjusted themselves to fresh
circumstances. Then she walked quietly up
to the groupof men and laid her hand against
the arm of the tall, fair one who was direct
ing the others.
You see, I've found you, George" she
said. softly.
Then, as he turned toward her and showed
his recognition in quick flush of joyous in
credulity, the cry that could be restrained no
longer broke from her lips, ana. throwing
herself upon n heap of dried branches on the
ground, she sobbed as if she had found her
lite's sorrow instead of its Joy.

2.-The Latrucr's Defense,

IwOnder whether the foregoing pages Of
my writing paper have been torn to pieces
and thrown into the waste-paper basket
You wouldn't litter the carpet No. l may
be torn in pieces. but do you justice for all
that
What are the objections to the divorced
husband and wife becoming husband and
wife again? Mrs. Presty has stated them in
the following order. Am wrong in assum-
Ing that on this occasion at least, you will
agree with Mrs. Presty?
First objection: Nobody has ever done
such thing before.
Second objection: Penltent or not peni.
tent Mr.. Herbert Linley doesn't deserve It
Third objection: No respectable person
will visit them.
First reply: The question Is not whether
the thing has been done before, but whether
the doing Of the thing Is right In itself.
There Is no clause In the marriage service
forbidding wife to forgive her husband,
but there is q direct prohibition to any sepa-
ration between them. 1t Is therefore mot
wrong to forgive Mr.. Herbert Linley, and Il
Is absolutely right to marry him again.
Second reply: When their child brings
him home and takes 1t for granted that her
father and mother should live together, b.
cause they are her father and mother, limo
cent Kitty has appealed from the law Of di.
vOrce to the law Of nature. Whether Her.
bert Linley has deserved it or whether he
has not there he is in the only fit place for
him, and there is an end Of the second oh.
lection.
Third reply: A fiat contradiction to The
assertion that no respectable person Will
visit her. Mrs. Sarrazin will visit her. Yea
you will, my dear. Not because I insist
upon 1t; do ever insist on anything3 No;
you will act on your own responsibility out
