MUST KNOW DIAMONDS GRAIN
Point Of Cleavage Has to Be Deter.
mined Before Cutter Begins
Work on Stone.

In the diamond there is a grain"
in the rough stone, which grain is
parallel to any of the triangular faces
of the Octahedral crystal. The stones
in the rough are examined for perfec-
ton and assorted for sizes. The larg-
est stones are given very close inspec-
ton for flaws and carbon spots. When
these are found it may be desirable to
split the stone into several smaller
pieces, to eliminate the flaws and to
secure stones of more marketable size.
1t behooves an Individual known as a
'cleaver" to know thoroughly the grain
of the diamond in the rough Some
times days are .aken to decide on it's
cleavage in order to get the largest
and best results-a mark is placed up
on the diamond with pen and ink, a
tiny groove is ground into it and the
stone mounted on the end of a holder
with the sharp edge of another dia-
mond. A knife about six inches by
one inch high is now inserted into the
groove or on top of the line, and with
a quick blow the diamond separates
easily along its grain. Electrical Elk.

clenched the pencil.

She looked at him tenderly.
"Please, jim" she begged, "just let me

task, and as he tossed the first of the
sheets aside, an eddying wisp of wind
caught 1t, danced it a moment on the
tabletop, then slid it over under the
very palm of big Jim Westcott's right
hand. Slowly hepicked it up and read
it.
"SOw he said, with something
strangely like cry in his deep voice,

They were in the open doorway now,

belated light twinkled down in Has

gulch below. And as they stood there
watching a fair young moon making

them range over the eternal misty hills
