encs With Very Fine STONE
Some years ago a Paris jeweler told
= story Of one diamond which had
passed over his counter not less than
eleven times. It was q beautiful stone
of nearly four carats, Of perfect color
and luster, but easily identified by
means Of small feather In the tin
Of the lower part. He bought It from
an East India dealer and had It set
in ring. It was sold to countess
in 1869. just before the outbreak Of the
Franco Prussian war. The countess
died In few weeks, and the ring
was worn by her husband. He was
killed in the siege Of Paris. and few
days after his death the ring was
brought into the store for sale by q
common soldier. He was arrested, and
the ring was sent to the family Of
the dead count. Before the siege end
ed they brought in the ring and sold
1t to the dealer in order to procure
money to buy food. Directly after the
siege 1t passed into the hands Of an
English tourist who visited the city to
get look at the ruin wrought by the
Communists, and year later back
came the stone from the Indian buyer
Of the firm, who, on being written to
and desired to tell how he got 1t, stated
that it had been the property Of an
English tourist hunter who was killed
by tiger, and his friends sold the
ring to get means to. send the body
home. The stone was reset, and soon
found purchaser in q prominent mam.
Der of the demi-monde, who not long
afterward was murdered in her room.
Among the articles taken by the muir
derer was the ring, and the firm be-
gan to wonder how soon 1t would turn
up. They had not long to wait, for all
their people had by this time learned
about the stone, and were on the look
out for it. After six months 1t was
found In the showcase of a jeweler in
London, who had bought it from q
frm In Amsterdam. 1t was bought BY
the Paris agent, and sent back to be
started afresh on its travels. 1t was
purchased again by q woman of the
town, who, six weeks later. was drawn
out of the Seine with the gem on her
finger, and, by strange coincidence,
1t was offered to the firm that sold it
by the police agents, the court having
Jurisdiction having ordered it to be
sold. And SO it went from hand to
hand, attended with misfortune at
every change and usually bringing
death to the possessor. Laborers in
the Golconda mines used to say that
when a stone was baptized in blood
when first taken from the earth it
caused the shedding of blood wherever
1t went, and the story goes Of one such
ill-omened gem goes fur to confirm be-
