THE ORIGINAL MIR IsAACs." !"

There is in India a who could doubtless give
many points to the police the subject and 1t Is
probable that it is to him that the Tiffanys have
addressed their cabIed inquiries That is Jacobs the
celebrated diamond merchant who has been por-
trayed by Marion Crawford in his so popular ana
clever novel, ''Mr. Isaacs" Jacobs is the man
whom the rulers, the princes and the naboDs OF the
Deccan intrust with the purchase and. When IN
want of money. with the SALE Of their precious
stones which owing to their distrust OF the banks
and the prohibition Of the Koran to the acceptance
of any money for interest, they regard as tnelr
capital ard invested property. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to assert that he almost every precious
stone OF any Importance in India being bhno4y
trusted by the majority Of his customers ana
were he not the most discreet Of men, there Is no
doubt that he could indicate the police the pres
ent location of any well known and famous stones
missed from American and European jewel caskets.
Let me add in support of this theory that with
the exception of the jewels of the widowed Countess
of Dudley which were recovered by means or
compromise between the late earl and the thieves
without the intervention of the police, hardly any
Of the pIunder of the great jewel robberies OF the
last five and twenty years has ever been recovered
Moreover, the principal gems have never reap

What has become of them? The only p4auslo4e

THE r1cHRoRNE DOLE.

The rrssence of Sir Henry Tichborne IN this coun-
+-y IN the mast few weeks has served to recall not
only the cause celebre Of thirty years ago in con-
nection with the claim TO his estates by a bogus
Sir Roger Tichborne, but also the fact that some
Of the most interesting mediasval customs are Kept
IN at the Tichborne place in Hampshire. One OF
,bern is the distribution of the so-called Tchborne
dole which has been kept up without any INTERRUPT
tion wear by year, for eight centuries. Shortly
after the Norman Conquest the manor Of Le1ner-
ston was bestowed by William the ConQueror upon
tba family of one Of his knights. which thereupon
,dor,ed the name of Lemerston. In the reign OF
