Diamond Ring Is Lucky,
Lost and Found Thrice

ORANGE, TEXAS. - Beginners
luck was extended to perpetual luck
when Mrs. c. G. Kellis recovered
the lost diamond from her engage
ment ring for the third time.
In 1924, the diamond was lost but
was discovered under the dinner
table the same day.
The stone again was lost in 1880
when the owner had been taking
care of a hen and her chicks. The
mother hen pecked at the stone and
Mrs. Kellis thought that the fowl had
swallowed it. Six months later,
however, the stone was found in a
crack in the floor.
Again, in 1887, the diamond disap-
peared but was found cached in a
safe. Now it is securely back on
the owners finger.
