old Love letters
Treasured Heart Breathinus Of
the Man She Loved Turned
to Good Account.
BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.

oS WAL Ell JOSePH DELANEY
"The letters! They are gone"
Murtel Gray gave great gasp, was
obliged to lean upon the writing desk
for support, and stood there pale and
trembling, mystided and frightened.
She was thirty years Of age, but still
girl. Many a one Of sixteen might
envy her the radiant, soulful eyes, the
glowing cheek, fair and velvety as a
damask rose. Sorrow had been hers,
grief and disappointment, but she had
borne her troubles patiently. She had
continued to exhale gentleness and
love for others, and no One knew that
she cherished memory that had kept
at bay numerous suitors for her hand.
The old secret wound was torn open
afresh at her present startling discov-
cry. A hidden package Of letters was
missing from her desk. They were the
history Of her brief but happy &C
quaintance with Ranald Dyer, rudely
disturbed and broken in single twen-
ty.four hours. Why, she had never
known, and she had never seen him
since.
The letters she had preserved, even
as she had retained the memory of the
blissful period when life had been
filled to the brim with golden sun
shine. Now they were gone. Muriel
sank to q chair and tried to think.
Had her aunt incidentally removed
them? Had the maid, busting and set
ting things to rights. slowed them in
some new receptacle? Hardly, Muriel
told herself, for neither to her knowl.

MODERN CITY OF DIAMONDS
Doubtless Few Have Adequate Idea
Of the Wealth Of GIItterin9
Stones In New York.

Importers OF precious stones are
frank to say that there are more dia'
monds owned and worn in New York
than in any other city in the world
Indeed, our metropolis seems to be q
second Golconda, that city of south
ern India where, from before the
birth Of Christ down through the cen
turtles to the 18th, the major portion
Of the earth's diamonds were assem-
bled, guarded; cut and polished FOL
the markets Of the world.
New York appears to stand out pre-
eminent as q "diamond-wearing" city
and only those whose social or bust
ness status permits them to come iz
close touch with the facts can have
an adequate idea Of the volume o,
variety Of the diamond and precious
stone adornments of some of it's PEG

There are some women and mel
whose gems are 80 valuable that they
have been warned by the police not to
make q public exhibit of them except
under conditions where the greatest
precaution is taken. Cleopatra ar
rayed in all her pomp was no more
richly bedecked than are often some
of our New York, Washington, Phila
delphia or Chicago matrons. A few Of
the more cautious (and precaution i,

CRATER CRACKED BY SNOW
Rumblinos Of Vesuvlus Not Sign Of
Eruption, According to Famous
Expert.

Heavy snow which this year GOV.
cred Vesuvius has caused considerable
cracks around the crater Of the VOL
cano and serious collapses Of earth
and rocks into the interior, accom-
panied by heavy rumblings. The loud
est of these roars, however, was caus-
ed by great mass of basalt, which,
after having remained isolated for
some time on the top Of the crater,
rolled not down the crater, but down
the mountain outside, it's dark outline
showing up against the bed of snow.
Professor Mercalli, director of the
Vesuvius Observatory, and his assis-
tant, Professor Malladra, succeeded In
reaching the top Of the abyss and the
latter descended by ropes into that
crater. which became extinct after the
eruption Of 1906, and fond it filled with
snow, Of which only the upper strata
was beginning to melt under the in
fiuence Of the sirocco, while those be-
meath showed no sign Of dissolving.
'"This proves" explained Professor
Mercalli, "that the zone Of fire must
be at considerable distance from the
bottom Of this crater, obstructed by
the voluminous basaltic matter which
fell during the last eruption, when the
cone formed in 1879 subsidized. This is
sufficient to disprove any alarmist re.
ports, spread especially abroad, to the
effect that Vesuvius is giving signs Of
serious activity.
"Of course, return to activity is
inevitable, since the columns of fire
which are constantly pressing against
the sides of the funnel-like opening will
end In finding way out, but most
probably this process will take from
five to twenty years. The only activ.
ity which meanwhile can be expected
is that Of sulphur Jets and crevasses
which appear where the surface Is
thinnest, especially in the higher part
Of the mountain. Together with these
phenomena there will be small inter.
nal collapses and therefore rumblings
and grating noises, which need alarm
no one, as they are simple phenomena
