AI.OSt Diamond.

IA Glasgow lady has had q singular
experience. About the beginning of
November last she paid a hurried visit
to her business premises, and while
there lost the diamond from a fayorite
ring. Search was made everywhere for
the precious stone. The shop was
given an extra sweep, the dust placed
in a "hair" sieve and washed, but not a
trace Of the lost jewel vas got. Con-
Guiding that the diamond was gone for
good, the ring was reset, and the loss
almost forgotten, when the owners
daughter, who had accompanied her to
the shop on the occasion, remarked:
Mother, there's something in the heel
of my right boot which catches the ar
pct every step l take" See what it
is" was the reply, and there, firmly
imbedded in the solid leather, was the
missing diamond. Singularly enough
during the past two months the young
lady had been in the count Y and walk
ed over the hard macadamiZed roads.
