is not speckled. The hen Is haiL
bantam and resembles a Brown Leg

OF hens laying eggs of this size. MT

! In Richmond during the war Judge
Lamar Stanley had been high In the
councils Of the cabinet Of President
Jefferson Davis. In the field his
cousin, Arthur Stanley, followed the
fortunes Of the Confederate arms as a
member Of the star Of General Lee.
b Crossing each other In love, crossing
each other In martial, civic and social
ambitions, their mutual hatred grew
with their growing yenrs. There were
deep causes for all this in the thwart-
ed social ambitions of the Judge. As
the scion Of the elder branch Of the
American Stanleys, springing from
their common ancestor. Sir Arthur
Stanley, a gentleman adventurer, who
came to America In 1915. Colonel Stan
ley held possession Of the precious fam
Ally heirloom, the diamond from the
sky.
The family tradition ran that this
great gem had fallen In q blazing me-
ateor at the feet OF Sir Arthur Stanley
three centuries ago just as he was
about to be burned at the stake by the
Indians, whom he had In some way
ta4tonted and aroused.
j The legend was that the Indians had
deemed the falling meteor an omen
from the Great Spirit that the white
man about to be tortured was under
the favor Of BIZ protection. This leg
end further stated that Sir Arthur
Stanley himself had so accepted the
diamond from the sky as a token of
supernatural favor, especially as the
Indians had chilled It "the fallen star"
and as 'The Fallen Star" Sir Arthur
Stanley himself had been called after
biz Punishment from the court of King
James Of England for some wild esca-

In the age stained family archives

Stanley, there WAS the will Of the wild
Sir Arthurs:and at Its end there was I

read that when thesnpble. line of Stan.
