Certainly she never did wear it again,
though second divorce separated her
from Mr., Strong.
Eliason's sale OF the diamond to
Henry T. Hope is reputed to have been
for n price OF $4,000. That appears
to be really the first definite statement
regarding the amount given for il up
to that time by any of its owners.
Hope is credited with having given
the diamond TO his daughter at the
time she married the sixth Duke OF
Newcastle i'll 1861. But apparently it
was the fiction mongers and not she
who bequeathed the gem to her son,
Lord Francis Hope, that it might get
sensationally into the life of May

Gem Comes TO America.
Eventually the stone crossed the At
lantic and landed in New York for
the first time in possession of Joseph
| Frankel, a New York jeweller. At the
time, Of course, it was said that Lord
Francis Hope sold the diamond to Mr..
! Frankel, but the most careful of the
investigators point out that since Lord
Francis Hope never had the diamond
such a sale was quite impossible. Just
where, when and from whom Mr.
! F'rankel acquired the stone never has
been made clear, but he met with re-
verses and the stone went back 10
Paris and into the possession OF
Jacques Colet, who bought it from Mr.
Frankel Colet has been reported as
having killed himself after losing his
mind.
Before that tragedy. however. the
Diamond is reputed to have passed into
the ownership OF Prince Ivan Kanitow-
ski. and the legend promptly disposed
of the Prince at the hands of mob OF
Russian revolutionists. Thence the
story skips to the murder Of Mile
Ladue, to whom the Russian Prince
had loaned the diamond. A jealous
and disappointed admirer is credited
with this murder.

There are those who are stout N

strange that as the gem reeurringly

Grand Moguls of Delhi. Wherever it
came from, the tales move swiftly
enough to place it immediately after
ward in the possession OF Louis XIV,
who placed'it among the crown jewels
OF France and permitted it to be worn
by Nine. dc Montespan.
There the diamond is launched upon
career OF i'll fortune and disaster
and tragedy.
1t was not long, so run the fables,
after Jean Baptiste Tavern;er. the
first apparent Occidental owner of the
jewel, sold it to Louis XIV. for $500,
600 francs and a barony, that Taver-
nier was torn to pieces by wild dogs
while he was on Il hunting expedition.
Nine. dc Montespan's fall is part Of
history. yet the stories of the Hope
diamond say the wane of her reign
began almost simultaneously with the
acquisition Of the stone by Louis XIV.
She was supplanted soon by Nine. de
Maintenon, and those who have retold
the story OF the diamond have con-
trived TO show that, with the Jewels
influence to aid her. hers was nat a

Montespan's place in the affections OF
Louis XIV.
Tragedy Follows Tragedy.
At this time the diamond weighed
| 671S carats. History, though, says
that in the rough it was Of l12 carats,
and that the King sent it to an Am
| sterdam jeweller to be cut and pol

Of the gem had been sacrificed in the
course OF this process.
! Along with other court Jewels the
| diamond descended upon the death OF
Louis XIV. to Louis XIV. Tradition
/ permits several of his favorites to have
worn it, and so the lives Of all of these
are supposed to have ended in trag-

Next in the legend of the jewel is
listed Simon Aloncharides, of whose
identity there appears to be consider
able uncertainty. But the legend sends
him riding with his wife and chill

thrown over and killed. The legend
says his wife and child died with him.
Just before his death Moncharides is
credited with having sold the diamond
TO Selim Habib, Persian. who is pop
uiarly credited with having acted as
agent for the Sultan Abdul Hamid.
Many times the story has been writ
ten that he took the diamond with him,
in November. 1909, on trip aboard the
steamship La Seyne through the RHO
Straits. Habib was drowned i'll the
wreck of the ship. 1t was. for story
telling purposes at least. supposed that
Habib had, like most travellers, placed
the diamond in the ships safe, in care Of
the purser, and so the story goes that
diver descended twenty-siX fathoms,
explored the wreck. salvaged the safe
and had it taken to Rho. There it
was forced open and provided an I'M
welcome surprise. The diamond was
| not found. Many other famed dia-
monds belonging to Habib were there,
but not the Hope jewel.

carried into Constantinople, so that
stories might be told Of its having been

J Yildiz Kiosk, and whole series OF
stories are told of its adventures in

says the Sultan gave the stone to Abu
