CHAPTER XXI.
rHE STORY OF THE RAJAH's RUBY.

THE STORY OF THE RAJAHs RUBY.
AS has already been stated. the won
derful gem known as the rajah's ruby
first came into prominence more than
200 years ago. Like all minerals, its age
is beyond computation, but it is enough
for present purposes to say that when it
was carried to England by the doughty
soldier whose title to its ownership it is
not best to inquire into too particularly
he took with it series of superstitions
that would have been incredible in these
later days.
But the period named was that in
which the belief in witchcraft was gen.
eral, and the clergy as well as the laity
cherished fancies and beliefs at which
our children would laugh.
With the ruby was inclosed writing
on parchment, first engrossed in San
scrit and afterward translated into Eng
lish, to the effect that the owner of the
rajah's ruby could retain possession of
it only by obeying certain requirements.
First of all, he must always keep it in
his possession-that is, he must never
deposit it in the custody of another nor
anywhere except beneath his own roof.
He could take it with him if he chose
while journeying, but he must retain his
guardianship over it. Thus the best
course at his command was to place it in
strong safe in his own dwelling. That
was precisely what was done by Miss
Livermore, its last owner.
The invention of the false gem was an
idea of old Captain Ashleigh, who served
Great Britain during our Revolution.
The real jewel was kept in a secret
drawer in the safe, while the counterfeit
was left where burglar, after once OBJ
tanning entrance, was sure to find it.
The early British owners of the ruby
were in constant dread of visit OF ennis
saries from India. Overtures were made
several times from different rajahs of
that country for its purchase, but they
were rejected, since another legend con-
nected with the gem was that whosoever
parted with it for money would speedily
meet with violent death.
Two attempts were made to steal it,
but the vigilance of its possessors pre-
vented success, and shortly after the
close of our war for independence the
ruby was brought to this country by the
grandfather of Miss Livermore. When
it was left to her, she inherited with it
the strange myths and fancies as well as
the false gem. whose purpose she fully
understood.
While she shared to some extent this
