IN Scranton, Pa, where he married
then in Cleveland, and finally he went
to Omaha six years ago, where he has
worked since as a furniture polisher.
The Mihok family grew. 1t grew
faster than Johns earnings did and IT
was a tussle to make both ends meet.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Mihok was read
ing a story in a Newspaper telling
ABOUT a man finding a ruby by the
side of a stream.
oh, if only my luck stone would
be a ruby" he said to himself.
i decided | would see," he said. 81
took my luck stone and went to the
Jewelry store of Joseph P. Frenzer in
south Fifteenth street"
Mr. Frenzer nearly had heart failure
when he held the stone in his hand,
applied a few tests to it and realized
what it was. The jeweler advised
him to take the stone to Chicago to
have it cut.
unaccustomed to the ways of the
world Mr.. Mihok turned to the Rev.
William F. Rigge, scientist, of Creigh-
ton university, Omaha. Father Rigge
also recognized the value of the stone.
He introduced Mr.. Mihok to Edmund
II. Mccarthy, a lawyer. Mr.. Mihok
told what Father Rigge and Mr.. Fren-
ger had said about the stone and Of
fered him one-fourth of the proceeds
if he would take charge of the great
stone and have it cut and polished.
Mr.. Mccarthy accepted the offer
and provided the money for the fate
full trip to Chicago.
we did not sleep a wink that night
on the train, I can tell you" said Mr..
Mccarthy. 1--WE both kept guard. I
won't tell you where we had the ruby
but it was in a mighty safe place"
Arriving in Chicago We asked for
the name of a precious stone expert

"Our hearts We're in our mouths
when we handed the stone to him.
What if the Omaha jeweler and scien-
list had made a mistake? What if the
luck stone was nothing hut a pretty
"The expression on Mr.. Gillmann's
face was not encouraging. He smiled
a little as Mr. Mihok undid the pack
age in which reposed the stone. Mr..
Gilman took the stone in his hand
and Immediately the cynical smile
disappeared. His eyes seemed to bulge
and his mouth opened.
"He gave an exclamation, then
with the stone to his work
room and put it through various tests,
all the while in most excited
fashion.
And then he told us that we had a
wonderful ruby. He could not tell how
pure it was before cutting it, but he
said it was probably one of the finest
in the world of its kind"
Mr.. Mccarthy and Mr.. Mihok took
remaining with Mr.. Gilman
the process of cutting and pol
shing and when that work had been
completed he told them in a voice fill
ed with awe that the ruby weighed
1919 carats, that it Is flawless, that it is
s.5 hard and has a specific gravity of

much afraid of what would happen to
