THREW DIAMOND INTO FIRE
Hartford Girl, Miffed at Fiance's
Christmas Gift, Repents.
fBy Telegraph TO The Tribune. ]

Hartford, Conn. Jan. S.-After two
weeks patient endurance of his fiancee's
hateful and altogether discouraging atti-
tude, an East Hartford youth this af-
ternoon summoned up sufficient courage
TO call on Miss Elizabeth Carroll and de-
mand an explanation Of why his 500
diamond ring. offered as a Christmas
present, was not acceptable, and what
the row was all about anyway lie
learned, and quickly, that he could not
send a miserable little basket OF candy
10 his promised wife for Christmas
gift and get away with it.
In explaining the quaking swain said
honestly and truthfully: Why, 1 would
not insult you with a mere basket OF
candy. OF course, you found the dia-
mond ring which l hid IN the bottom of
the basket, rolled up in gold foil?S
The girl had TO acknowledge that she
had hurled the basket of candy into the
furnace. All the searching Of ash re-
ceptacles and tedious sitting of last
weeks furnace ashes failed to reveal
sight or sign of the gem or its settings.
IL was announced after the vain search
had been abandoned that the loss was
considered only trivial, and that the en-
eagement still held good.
