The fellows who have taken out

and have thus been obliged to get
abstracts and pay up taxes and penal
ties to clear their title are lucky
They have thus escaped the probable
loss Of their land through the manip-
ulation Of the law that allows sharpers
who make a business of laying for
such chances from getting a deed to
their land without recouEse by the
righsful owner by paying few dollars
back taxes over three years deiin-
quent.
Many farms are for sale, especially
the land of non-residents and many
valuable farms will be taken over
by spectators and those having no
moral right to them because the own

that they have paid the 1915 taxes.

which shows 1915 taxes to be paid

Newcastles was ever made Frankel was prosper
ous while he had the stone and Habib's misfor-
tunes came after ne sold the stone. Sir Francis
Hope never had the stone and May Yohe never
saw It, All Of which states I. Edgar Wilson. as
aforesaid
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding the reputa-
tion of the Hope diamond is probably blasted for
all time If 1t hasn't the-"evil eye there are
millions of superstitous people who believe it has
and will give credence to everything evil they may
read about 1t.
They may, in the course of time. even attribute
to its malign influence the automobile accident
which made ynson Mclean at his birth the sole
heir TO the great Walsh fortune. In 1905 when
automobiles were rare, vinson Walsh brother of
Mrs. Mclean, killed in smashup at Newport.
Mrs. Mclean who then Miss Evelyn Walsh.
was also in the car and received injuries which
made her invalid for a year.
Two other children have been born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Mclean, both boys one of whom is four and
the other year old.
AT the time of the probating of his GRANDPA
ther Walsh's will it found that there was
only S62100OO. to be divided between the two heirs
of the Mclean union vinson and John r., Jr.
Young Mclean a democratic youth. For
several years his boon companion was small
negro boy. His tutors said he an exception
ally bright student. and he was popular with his
mates.
He was fond of animals. Fifty-six Shropshire
sheep sent all the way from Colorado to Bar
Harbor by express for him. They came from the
big Walsh ranch. Wolhurst near Denver. He
himself directed the purchase of great flock of
white Brahma chickens. ducks and turkeys a Rus
sian wolf hound. six blooded terriers, two Great
Danes and half score of other dogs and great
number of ponies.
Are the McLeans supersttious about the beau
tifu gem? Nobody seems to know definitely. But
one of the stories about the stone since 1t has been
in their possession seems to indicate that its evil
reputation had its effect upon them.
Anyway, as the story goes, there hitch
about the payment of the purchase price of the
stone 1t evidently not because of lack of
money There was law suit In the course of
the controversy stories were printed to show that
Mr.. Mclean harbored a feeling of timidLsy be-
cause of the evil history attributed to the stone
and that he stipulated that the jewel should be
taken back by the Cartier firm in the event that
any tragedy occurred in the Mclean family within
six months. Whether that story is true is not
clear but eventually formal announcement was
made by attorneys connected with the suit over
the purchase price mat a compromise had been
effected
The superstitious who believe in the "evil eye"
which is worldwide belief that neither Christian
ity nor civilization has been able to KILL will
pin their faith on the evil spell OF the Hope dia-
mond to this fact:
vlnson Mclean was probably the most carefully
guarded child in the world. yet casual automobile
came along and killed him.

found that he suffered financial reverses and other
personal misfortunes.
Hope is credited with having given the diamond
TO his daughter at the time she married the sixth
duke of Newcastle in 1861. But apparently it was
the Notion mongers and not she who bequeathed
the gem to her son, Lord Francis Hope. that it
might get sensationay into the life of May Yohe.
the American actress.
This part of the story is mere fiction. 1t Is true
that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope. 1t
Is true that she eloped with Capt Putnam Brad
lee Strong son of former mayor Of New York.
Lord Francis obtained divorce and the wife
married Captain Strong only to be divorced a
second time.
But May Yohe, although she has been quoted as
saying that she wore the Hope diamond only
twice and that her troubles were due to Its maligu
influence, probably even saw the stone. Ger
tainly Lord Francis never had possession of it.
So when the story goes to say that he sold
1t for S16S0OO to Joseph Frankel, a New York
jeweler, the statement is untrue.
1t is true that Franke had the gem in New
York Where and from whom Frankel acquired
the stone never has been made clear but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
of Jacques Colet, who bought II from Frankel
Colet has been reported having killed himself
after losing his mind.
Before that tragedy. however, the diamond is
reputed to have passed into the ownership of
Prince Ivan kanitowsk, and the legend promptly
disposes of the prince at the hands of a mob of
Russian revolutionsts Thence the story skins to
the murder of Mile. Ladue. to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond A Jealous ad.
mirer is charged with this murder.
Next In the legend of the jewel is listed Simon
Moncharides, of whose identity there appears to
be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding
close enough to precipice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Moncharldes is cred
tied with having sold the diamond to Selim Habib
Persian who acted as agent for the Sultan
Abdul Hamid
One version of the next chapter is that HabIb
drowned in wreck and the diamond lost
The publication of this later explained as n
ruse to throw thieves off the trail. This version
takes the stone to Coustantinope. where IT cuts n
wide swath In violence. misfortune and death and
finally brings about the end of Abdul HamId
Be all that as it may. 1t appears that instead of
having drowned with the gem In the shipwreck
Habib got back to Paris with 1t. 1t was sold at
auction for $4,000 June "a, 1909
The gem then passed into Possession of p q
Cartier. aad the Cartier firm brought 1t to this
country. In January, 1911, announcement was
made that the stone had been sold to the Mclean
family and that the purchase price was S1S0OOO
Mrs. Mclean wore the stone ut least once In pub-
lie. according to the newspapers.
