The find was made last Monday

Messrs. Kickbush & Davis have

Diamond Oldest of Riches.

The discoverer of diamonds is un-
known. From references in Exodus it
is apparent that the diamond was a
precious stone in Egypt in those early
times; and even before that it was
known in India, where probably it was
first obtained. The name is derived
from the Greek word "adamas," mean
ing "unsubduable"
From Pliny, writer of the first cen
fury, we learn that the diamond was
regarded as the most valuable of all
things, and only a few kings ever
could afford to buy them. But as no
means of artificial polishing had been
discovered the stone deprecated in
value, so that the ruby and the emer-
aid became more precious. The dis
covery by Ludwig Won Berquen, in
1916, of mode of polishing and cut
ting it at once returned this gem to
the first place among precious stones.

CHAPTER II.

Hall laughed and then stood thought
full for a few moments, smoking airily,

deliberately. He searched in the in
side pocket of his frock coat as he
said pompously: HIN. l took the

you, Mr.. Bonistelle. Unluckily, how

BLOCKADE is ILLEGAL?
WILSON TO DEMAND RIGHT TO
TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Seeks Freedom of Cargoes-HoIds
Nonoontraband Goods Are Not
Subject to Seizure.

Washington, June 14-The new
American note to Great Britain on the
rights of neutral commerce will make
the same demand of that government
that the United States has already
made to Germany-namely, that she
shall adhere to the recognized princi-
pies of international law in her treat
property.
The state department is now en-
gagged in preparing data for the use
of the president and Secretary of
State Lansing in the construction of
the note to Great Britain The note
will soon be ready for dispatch to Lon
don.
While reiterating it's earlier state
ment that this government might be
ready to admit that the old form of
close" blockade is no longer practi-
cable, the note will maintain, on two
points, that Great Britains present
method of blockade is illegal. These
points will be:
That Great Britain can find no war
rant in international law for extend
ing her blockade to the ports of neu-
trail countries adjoining the enemy
territory.
That her blockade does not operate
against traffic between Scandinavian
and Danish ports and Germany is,
therefore, in violation of international
law, which holds that a blockade
must apply to all countries alike.
The note will then indicate the
practices of Great Britain with re-
gard to American commerce, which it
regards as direct violation of interna-
tional law.
This government will state its un-
derstanding of the law to be that nom
contraband, even if bound for an
enemy port, is not subject to interfer-
ence unless a legal blockade is main
tanned; that contraband, If destined
for the territory of the enemy, is sub
ject to seizure, and that conditional
or relative contraband is subject to
seizure if intended to be used by the
enemy government, but is not subject
to interference, beyond examination,
if intended for the civil population.
Great Britain's claim that she is
prepared to pay for these cargoes at
the price in which the contracts were
made will be answered by the state
ment that she has no legal right to
compel American owners of goods to
sell to her.

the subject.
But Flodie was not to be dismissed.
Well she knew his procrastination.

can trust me to attend TO that! And
I've had to sit up and beg like a

Hall, walking back and forth,
seemed not to be listening, but sudden

queer expression. He walked up to
her and put his hand on her shoulder.

playfulness. "Flodie Fisher" he said
determinedly, IF you ever dare to
mention such a thing to me again,
Ill-Iu discharge you!" He took a
turn up and down the room as she
waited, watching him. "By jove, it

Then he turned to her gloomily. "Well.
