is so far from being impossible that
it is the strict truth. Nor was the
theft the only crime of which the man
was guilty. In stealing that jewel, he
committed a dreadful sacrilege."
Mrs. Missioner was SO overcome by
her emotions that she was obliged, in
spite of her intention, to sit down,
and therefore to extend to her visitor
an invitation to be seated also, before
she could get herself well enough in
hand t o follow the Swami's narrative
calmly.
THAT diamond" continued the sage,
"once blazed in the forehead of the
great Buddha, in the Temple of Delhi.
It was revered by thousands, hundreds
of thousands, by millions, as the most
sacred work of the. god; for tradition
says it was the u~ndisputed property
of Buddha himself when he walked
the earth in his latest incarnation"
Mrs. Missioner's lips were parted.
Her eyes were fixed upon the Orie1-
tails in the intensity of her interest.
zone night" the sage went on,
when a band of militant priests as
signed to guard the shrine Of Buddha
in the great Delhi temple relaxed it's
vigilance, a sacrilegious wretch-on
whose head be all the curses of all
the centuries!-made his way into
the heart of the sacred building, and
wrested the diamond from the brow
of the god. That he was not blasted
in his tracks by the lightning of divine
wrath proves that the mind of the
god at that moment was shrouded in
meditation for the benefit of his chill
dren. The stone was missed at dawn.
Within the hour, armed men were
securing the city for the apostate
thief. No trace of him was found.
The Maharajah of that kingdom, lax
though he had been in certain OBJ
servances of the faith, was toe r a
son of the Temple to let the careless
priests go unpublished. By his order
they were seized, a hundred of them,
and thrown into prison. A royal de-

Taking from an inner pocket a pack
age in silk tissue, he extended 1t
toward her with the words:
"You will find in this parcel, madam,
all the diamonds of your necklace,
with the exception of the largest
the Maharanee."
But the big diamond of the whole
necklace-the Maharanee!" cried Mrs.
Missioner. How did you find these
and not find that?"

cover it, said the Swami. "On the
contrary, I confess to you that I
gained possession Of the Maharanee
at the time when I got these; but 1t
must not, cannot, be restored to you"
Il am grateful for what vol have

am unable to understand your atti-

Why should l not have that, too? 1t

Madam" said the Oriental, in the
courtliest way, Il would not for the
world say anything to disturb your
faith in your husband. There is no
need of doing so. Your faith is war
ranted. Mr.. Missioner, when he said
that, thought he was telling the truth.
Unfortunately for you, as well as for
many others, he was not speaking the
truth. The renegade who sold that
jewel to your husband did not buy il
from a Maharanee. He did not buy it
from anyone. He stole it,"
'Stole it," the widow cried, with a
little wall in her voice. "Impossible!"
Pardon me once more. madam. 1t
