THE INTERLOPER
BY Harold Carter

1t was said in Kimberley, South
Africa, that Nathanson's Joy in the
purchase of stolen diamonds la!

Pherson. HIS enemy, who owned
large interests in the diamond
mines, than in the hope of profit
When, therefore, 1t was openly
reported that an immense dia.
mond, the size of hens egg, had
been found in the Mcpherson
grounds, and was to be presented
to the king for birthday present,
wise ones scented a plot. They
kept silent. however, and watched
the development. Mcpherson was
too canny to publish such news
when two-thirds of his own de-
tectives were in Nathanson's pay,
and not the best guarded diamond
was safe from his acquisitive
hands.
Mcpherson could afford to pay
for his revenge. He sent to Hol-
land for an expert and brought
him secretly to Kimberley. He
offered him a thousand pounds to
manufacture an artificial uncut
stone which should be an exact
replica of the kings present. When
it was finished Mcpherson held
the two stones in his hands. Ivan
Nouwt," he said to the artisan, at
can hardly tell one from the
other"
This is the real stone, and that
is the artificial" the maker an
swered. He took the next ship to
Europe. and Mcpherson put the
genuine stone into his strongbox
and gave the artificial one to
Whitlaw, his trusted agent. Sell
this to Nathanson," he said. "Pass
1t off through some third party,
and stick him for $1,000. It's mar
ket value must be E12 900, and
Williamson will bite" Then he
chuckled in his glum Scotch man
ner and sat down and waited.
Next day Whitlaw turned over the
thousand to Mcpherson and the
two divided the spoil.
But this was not enough for the
Scotchman. His enemy must be
made a laughing stock for all
Kimberley. He had laid his plot
we'll, and that same evening
Williamson was arrested for the
purchase OF the stolen stone. For
once the prosecution had been ade-
quateiy prepared. The stone, in
deed. could not be found. but, I'M

Kimberley obeyed. this was not

necessary. Four witnesses swore
to the sale. Williamson was fac
ing a period of years on the
breakwater, among the convicts.
Then Mcpherson got up in court
and asked permission to speak.
Some said the Judge had been in
the secret. The stone was an arti-
ficial one, he announced, which he
had passed off on Williamson for a
thousand pounds. Consequently the
state had really no case against
the defendant. He had taken
the liberty of making this false
prosecution because the defendant
was notorious criminal who
could not be convicted. He
thought the monetary loss would
be sufficient penalty. The Judge
laughed and concurred, and
Williamson was turned frees Next
day he was the laughing stock of
Kimberley.
Nathanson could not show him

being jeerd and mobbed. He had
been trapped by Mcpherson, and
by the simplest of tricks. His pres
tige was gone. The courage of
the man seemed broken. He shut
himself up in his house and adj
mitted no callers. Everybody
predicted that the most skilIfuI
evader of the diamond act had met
with his Sedan.
Arrangements had been made
in Holland for the cutting of the
stone. Mcpherson and the cut

they took 1t from the strongbox.

fashions

Some of the cotton foulards are
as beautiful as the silk.
Parasols are to match the
gowns this year, whether of cot
ton, linen or silk.
Sleeves are all lengths. The
long close sleeve is out of fashion,
but there are many ways of add
ing fullness to it. Long sleeves
are seen chiefly on morning and
house dresses, while the dressy
models have short sleeves.
Dotted swisses in dainty
sprigged designs are charming for
inexpensive negiigee gowns.
Nets of many kinds are en-
ployed as material for very good
looking frocks and some of the
late models show an effective use
of ribbon with it.
The fashionable flower this sea-
son is the Bermuda lily in white or
pink.

When mounting the stairs, the
skirts should be held up in the

the skirt by each side near the
front; do not try to hold the
skirts iu one hand.

FREAK TREE DISAPPEARS
Empty Space Where Central Park s
''SiameSe Twins Grew

Has anybody here seen the Samese
Twins is the refrain among employees
Of the Park Department at work in Central
Park The last time the twins were seen
they were in the Ramble, near the Schiller
monument. For many years two trees in
Central Park that grew out of one root
were known as the Siamese Twins. Photo
graphs of them have appeared at times in
department reports.
When inquiry in regard to the twins
was made yesterday by a visitor who said
he was interested in such phenomena, he
was told 10 go to the Ramble and accurate
directions were furnished.
An empIoye i'll that part Of the park said
he would take him to the tree Instead,
he took him TO the place where the twins
formerly grew. There was only an empty
space.
One theory advanced for the disappear
ance is that during a windstorm 1t may
have been blown down and carted off with
out notice being taken that it was the
freak tree Of the park.
