and before she could be dragged away
had beaten her into insensibility. There
was no recourse to the courts for big
amy, so the Indian woman took her
revenge and all st. Paul smiled and
the Indian woman was never punished.
She was a faithful nurse, however,
and we children loved her well and
loved her stories, too. She told us the
story of Hiawatha, though she had
never read Longfellow, for Hiawatha
was of the tribe of Indians who are
fighting now.
Old Betz was another squaw known
to every old settler, and sitting before
the fire on long winter nights roasting
apples on shovel at the open fire
while the snow was beating against
the windows, I have heard my father
tell why she is always welcome when
she comes to the back door and says
she has come to stay few days.
1t all happened during the Civil War,

Joined Colonel George to make up the
Second Minnesota at Fort Smelling, so
that few but women and children were

Indian agents, who kept the rations
sent out for the Indians by the Govern

traders, who bargained it back to the
Indians in exchange for the furs they
should have paid for in cash.

Subsequent events have proved that
| Memelas story was not one of those
| Zulu legends that are so common in
South Africa. The announcement from
Rome has proved that Kruger had the
diamond at one time, even though he
! made the evasive yet truthful reply
| last November.
| Memela was averse to talking in the
presence of strangers, but the gift Of a
| few coins and several packages of
cigarettes, of which he. like all Afri-
cans, Is very fond, caused him to be-
| come more talkGtive.
"Nkosi" (master), he replied, ct is a
| tale of many words. And indeed it
was tale of many words" for the old
man consumed eighteen hours in relat-
| ing it. Deprived of many of its minor
yet interesting details, and with the
addition of dates of which he was ig-
norant, Memela's story is given as he
recited it.
| In the opening years of this century
! the King of the Zulu nation was Chaka.
Local history calls him the Napoleon Of
| South Africa. His subjects We're as nu-
merous as the palms In the coast land
which he occupied, and his well-trained
army of warriors was as invincible as
| the waves of the ocean that washed the
shores of his country. Memela's father
was one of .Chaka's head men, and this
honorable office descended to the son
when the old man died.
About 1920 Chaka sent a large body
of his warriors with peace offerings of
many cattle to Moshesh, the King of the
Basuto nation, which dwelt 300 miles to
the westward. The object Of the expe-
dition was to form coalition between
the Basutos and the Zulus for the pur-
pose of DISCRIMINATING the Pondo tribe,
which in some way had aroused the en-
nifty of Chaka-
/ King Moshesh. being poor in cattle,
HI t0
! offerings of that nature, but fulfilled
the obligation imposed by native Gus
| tom In more striking way. He sent
| to Chaka the greatest gift that one
King could make to another-the royal
talisman That talisman is the dia-
mond referred to in the dispatch quoted
| at the head of this article.
The return Of this expedition forms
one of ,Memela's earliest recollections,
he having been about eight years old
at that time. The story of the acqui-
sition of the diamond was told to him
by his father. who accompanied Din
gaan and was one Of that leaders

His name is Memela, and although
he has lived almost eighty years his
mind is as active as when he was
Kehla, or head man, of Zulu tribe,
exactly sixty years ago. The life in the
open has preserved his vigor and
strength to a remarkable degree, and
of all the negro employees on the farm
none is more agile than he in operating
the diamond washing machine or the
sleeves Of the dry sorters.

protect 1t. The history Of the famous
Kohinoor is commonplace when COM
pared with that of the unnamed dia-
mond that is the pride of the Pope's
collection.
Only one person in South Africa
knows the story connected with the
diamond before it fell into the hands
of loom Paul" Kruger, the grand old
man of the Transvaal republic. Not
even Kruger knows anything of the
antecedents of the gift he made to the
head of the Catholic church. And still
more astonishing is the fact that not
more than two or three of Kruegers
intimate friends knew until recently
that he had ever such valuable stone
in his possession. What object Krue-
ger had in giving the diamond to the
Pope, whose emissaries had always
been treated with scant courtesy in the
Boer country, Is a matter of great his
tory.
The one person who can give the his
tory of the Pope's diamond lived year
ago at a place in the Orange Free
State named Driekopjes. 1t is fifteen
miles west of Kroonstad, town on the
railway which connects the gold fields
of Johannesburg with Cape Town.
Driekopjes has but few buildings, and
these are occupied by Boer farmers and
diamond diggers. 1t Is in the midst Of
a level plain whose sunbaked earth
yields great quantities of small dia-
monds to those who have the patience
to dig for them. During nine months
of the year the plain Is an unending
stretch of brown. dead grass. over
which the heat of the sun and the dust
bearing wind storms are twin rulers.
When the rainy season comes the
plains desolate appearance is changed
into that of vast garden of velvety
green grass extending as far as the eye
can read.
