THE SEASOA'
"The Green Diamond" by Arthur
Morrison, is a capital tale of the mys-
terious theft of a famous Oriental
green diamond known as THE Eye OF
Goona.e Stolen during the great Dur
bar, the wonderful jewel is dispatched
to England, slowed away in one Of
dozen magnums of rare old Tokay. BY
a perfectly innocent circumstance the
magnums are sold at auction, and the
story of the hunt for the gem makes a
series Of the most absorbing adven-
lures. In this story Mr.. Morrison has
forsaken his earlier style and a field Of
literary work in which he shone brill
liantly for method doubtless produc-
tive of more popularity. His latest
work certainly ought to make its way
without delay into the public favor, for
1t is an excellent tale of sensation. AS
tothe missing diamond of the tale, the
proverbial needle in a haystack could
hardly have been more difficult to find,
and in fact the diamond was discoy-
cred only to be irrevocably lost. This
historic diamond was a great green
gem fully an inch and a half long and
an inch wide, and almost thrice the
weight of the renowned pale green dia-
mond kept at Dresden, For nearly a
thousand years this gem had been the
envy and contention of kings. The sto-
ry is finely written story, absorbingly
interesting. Price $1.O0; for sale at
Judd's.
