4 Thief BefoOled.

From the Louisville Courier -JOurnalJ
Rich people can do things which others
cannot safely afford to do. A man with
fortune cen go about stability dressed
and not he commented upon, but Won let
a poor man who canOt afford to own
more than TWO suits Of clothes at n time be
seen apon the public tnorOughfdres day

see a disheartencd fellow who LOOKS like
he had lost aIl his friends.
An instance of this condition Of affairs
happened the other day in the billiard
room Il the Louisville Hotel. A rich man
about town keeps company with a gay
crowd Of men, but there is nothing bail
in him. He is nothing worse than friyo-
lcus. He was playing billiards with two
or three boon companions, one OF whom,

mer, with mock Ceremony, placed upon
his finger a large solitaire ring. which he
said was presented on behalf of the la dies
of Louisville.
There was general laugh, i1r every
one knew, or thought ne knew, that the
solitaire was sham. but the drummer
explained that our iich young men could
wear it, while none OF the rest could.
''Of course" said another, who had seen
the point, ''he van carry a bluff with his
bank account. You put that ring on lie.
and any one could tell it was paste. When
people see it on him they viii know IL Is
genuine without examination"
Seine une remarked that this was fun
ny world, and the game went on. 1t was
almost midnight When the billiard parry
dispersed. Refreshments had been served
with generous hand, and a number OF
acquaintances lad come and gone during
the evening. As our rich young man said
goodnight some one looked for his ring.
There was a plain gilt band around his
finger, hut the cheap glass solitaire was
gone.
closer examination of the Ting showed
that the setting had been skillfully clipped
from the ring. A clever thief, who was a
judge of diamonds, had gone hard against
a practical joke.
Our rich young man ordered cold bot
tie, and as they emptied their glasses he
murmured, ''vanitas, vanitas,"
