But for King. said one bank

The incident referred to was the
famous diamond swindle of 1872. A
large tract near Fort Bridger Wyo.,
had been "salted" With crude dia-
monds. Two prominent California min
ing engineers had examined the dia
nond field and reported on it favor
ably. The coast blazed with excite

precise location remained a carefully
guarded secret.
From Investigations made by James
II. Gardiner, King learned that it lay
Within an area already carefully gone
over by his corps of engineers. Sur
priscd, but yet unsuspicious, he inn
arranged to visit and study
the field as a new source of national
wealth of incalculable value.
Upon examination, however he
found nothing but raw African stones
scattered loose upon the surface, and
none in characteristic diamond bear

turn from the field he was offered

a PRESENTA TON AT
THE VATICAN IN ROME

John kendrick Bangs in Harper's Weekly.
A slight gesture from the master of
ceremonies made us all kneel, and the
long-awaited figure entered-a sad
faced man arayed in simple white
robe, expressionless of feature, but
giving striking impression OF sweet
ness and intense WEAKNESS combined
He walked slowly along the line, hold
ing out to each pilgrim as he passed
nstless hand. on the fourth fingerGf
which was the ring of st. Peter. AT
hrst glance he appeared the embodi-
ment OF age and of physical weakness,
ana IT must be confessed that the inn
preston was disappointing; but as he
came nearer, and one was able to look
more closely into his saddened eyes, one
dlscerned in them not SO much of
weakness as of loveliness of character
strength of soul, touched by strange
pathos that brought with it the convic-
ton that the people of his beloved city
of Venice. among whom as Giuseppe
Sarto he had once dwelt, had loved him

pressed his hand With sincere and
earnest feeling of reverence for his
Office and OF respect for the man. and
Was surprised to find, as Il little lump
manifested itself in M. throat and a
suspicious moisture dimmed my eyes
for the moment, that I had awakened
rather into an intensity of sympathy
for the prisoner of the vatican than of
awed reference for the successor of the
apostle. There was, indeed no lack of
the latter quality. but the former was
from the heart. and l am glad to feel
that that is truly the American of it.
In spite of the splendor of his sur
roundings and the loftiness of his sta
ton, one could not escape the convic-
