\ picturesque story is that which comes
from BiarritZ. and concerns itself with the
queen of Servia and her jewels. There are
various versions of this story atloat: but,
though they differ in detail. they all agree.
as TO the main facts. Ii seems that while
staying at Biarritz the queen one day
missed a valuable portion of her jewels.
According to one account. ii wIs a parure
of diamonds; according to another, merely
an exceedingly valuable ring. Whether
the jewel or jewels were stolen. or wheth-
er they were merely lost. also appears 10
be Il matter of some doubt. Be that as it
may. the fact is certain that Il few days
later an advertisement appeared in local
papers to the effect that if the iewelry were
returned TO the queen she would present
it to the poor of Riarritz. Two days after
wards she received her lost or stolen dia-
monds. by post, accompanied by q sheet
of coarse paper. on which was scrawled in
printed characters: Il shall be curious TO

queen did keep her word and presented the

was eagerly subscribed TO hy the visitors

Nevertheless, We think we have actually

Reference TO Mr.. Stretton's letter, three
pages back. shows that ii relates to Il run
made in 1897. when the time made was
iifty-iive and one-foUrth minutes. There
is not a s~Cintilla of evidence against the
record Of 1856, but because of the slower
time in 1893. the record for the last season
is not true either in substance or in
fact
Now the question is: Does The Engineer
really believe that because a certain rate of
speed WAS not attained In 1893. therefore
il. can not lie in 1897, and that any one
who claims ii can be IS mendacious. or
does it DELIBERATELY intend to resort to
mere pettifogging methods to deceive its
readers We must confess that we see no
other alternative.
Nevertheless. The Engineer is forced to
admit from Mr.. Stretton's figures of the
run as made four years ago that American
locomotives do make faster time than Eng
fish ones.
