where it had com, 4. The ian
said he represented friend, a o.
man, who did net care to have Il
name disclosed. The American was
firm. If he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
With her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman's
home She lived in a handsome e
apartment in one Of the most fae'i
ionable quarters of the city. i
turned out that she was a Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
In a nihilist movement. OF ali
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened q
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one Of the finest collections Of
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth 100000 or 100000.
"We sell them a few at time"
she explained, "just enough OF
them each year to give US living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
don't sell them all and live on the
interest of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit.
The money would not last a year.
So we part from them piecemeal.
l estimate that there are enough OF
them TO keep us twenty years, and

Accordingly FACES undertook tn
