CHAPTER VII.
THE MYSTERY OF THE COLLAR OF DIA-
MONDs.
~HERE are those who detect
sense of humor in the fates.

which was an obvious attempt to make
them smile. l do not wish to decide
whether such a view of the matter is
justified by the facts, but 1 will ven
ture to assert upon my own observa-
ton that if the fates care at all for a
jest they prefer man like old Sam
Kelvin for the subject of it. Already
he had figured once in this role, and it
was not enough.
Kelvin is a pawn in the game who
fancies himself the player. He is such
man as is fond of saying: IF l were
poor tomorrow, should be rich again
in year. You cannot keep a good
man down." Or this, eff you ask me
for the secret of my success in the

a month after the advent Of the kel-

beautiful morning l was taking my

The following case is but one OF
many similar occurring daily in Rich

its correctness. Surely you cannot
ask for better proof than such con-
elusive evidence.
Elmer o. Hawkins, of 43 north fif-
tn street, machinist at Gaar, Scott &
Co. g says: "For two or three years
was troubled with a weakened and
debilitated condition of the kidneys.
There was steady aching pain
through my loins and could not rest
comfortably during the night. The
secretions became irregular and an
natural I tried a great many diff
ferent remedies but received no bene-

Donald started slightly, and family

and to Kelvin, who paled and then
flushed

roughly, ashamed of his momentary
superstitious alarm. You're an open

Donald turned away wearily. while
Kelvin kicked the gate open and went

to revive Donald's spirits by compli-

seemed to be very much dissatisfied

Mr.. Reedy was Immediately directed
to assume charge of the case. and for
the next two or three weeks he worked
with exemplary diligence. but without
results. An attempt was made to keep
the story from circulating, but some
how it got about, even that portion
which related to Donald's foreknowl-
edge of the robbery.
1t came to Kelvin's ears, and he took
pleasure in referring to my boy as 'the
mind reader" he had conceived a
violent dislike of Donald. and the boy
seemed to be deeply afflicted in conse-
quence thereof, no doubt for pretty
Amy Kelvin's sake. From certain
things which l observed l formed a
firm judgment that the daughter Of
my amiable ncighbor did not agree
with her father in regard to Donald,
and considering the youth of the par
ties this parental opposition could not
be taken too seriously. However. as
Donald suffered and l loved him, my
heart was warmly on his side, and l
began to hate Kelvin cordially and
with fervor that may have been

Lost Gold Watch.
Negro Woman Arrested Charged with
Crime.

Mrs. A. b. Scott is in peck OF
trouble. Some one stole her fine
watch last Thursday, and up to this
writing the much valued piece of
property has not been found.
Florence Morehea1, the negro wom-
an who was charged with various
crimes committed in Burlle's Garden,
and who had just been released from
jail, was arrested on Sunday morning,
and Is again IN Jail. charged with talk
ing the watch. The woman was en-
ployed by Mrs. Scott, and agreed "a
stay n month. After day she left sud
denly without reasonable excuse, and
a few minutes after she left Mrs. Scott
found that the watch had disappeared
at the same time, and the woman, who
went TO Burlxe's Garden, returned here
on her way TO Graham, and was arrest
ed, and Is now in Jail. There is little
or no doubt that the woman, who il
said to be ga mean nigger," got the
watch, but 10 prove II before the court
will be the difficulty. Her husband is
now in the pen, and 1t seems to be the
general opinion that she should join
him there for good long term.
