One signs for another Wagner to
write some ring operas, not founded
on old legends, but on up-to-date
facts. The story of a certain ring that
has lately been closed out, is this:
Some years ago a mighty nice Topeka
chap concluded that he would well
to fall in love with some girl of wealth
and beauty and social standing. He
bought a handsome diamond solitaire
Not having access to his installment
account, our in ormant did not know
what he paid for the ring, but it be-
came famous for it's beauty and size,
as well as for the rapidity with which
it changed hands. The owner of the
ring at that time was mad over q. Pot

wearing the stone for a few months.
Then the stock was turned back on
his hands. He took it to a pretty
young girl who had been back but a
short time from a fashionable eastern
school. 1t looked well on her slim
white finger, and it pleased her all
right to wear it so long as she could
keep the other girls guessing where
she got it. Then some young Lochin-
var from down east took her atten-

Soon the news was passed around that
the girl and the ring had parted.
The stone was now lost to sight for

khaki, SLOUGH hat and soft collar. He
lost his heart to various charmers, and
finally set his affections on the school
girl who had been the second one to
wear the first mans diamond They
were sauntering down the street one
day, discussing the kind of a ring he
should buy for her, when the girls
eyes caught sight of a strangely ia

She told the man she considered that
a very superior stone. They went into
three hundred dollarS-second hand

ring all that season, and then just as
she left for her summer home in the
north she Quarreled with her lover,
and gave him back the ring. Three
days elapsed in which that ring re-
posed in the inside waistcoat pocket of
its owner. Then it was joyfully slip

girl. At last the jewel has arrived,
for there is a plain band ring above
it that is there to stay for better or
