ill.‘ The famous inmliton diamond throw, back the light from its many facets. and strange, brilliant colors shot from its depths. It was the finest stone I had ever set in my life. I was particularly pleased with my design for the setting. No other hand had touched it, and I felt that the frame, so to speak. was worthy ofi the picture. I The ring, now that it was finished? was fit oven to adorn the hand of Lady Gwendolen Forrest, the beauty andl heiress of the season. But I did notl envy young Lord Lambton his fiance ;i in my own Nell i had a girl as goodi and as pretty as any in the land. l was about to take the ring to ML! Nugent when Nell herself ran in. She: was my employer's daughter, and his1 private house was upstairs over the large showroom in Clifford street. It was against all custom for Neil to come down to my workshop, for her father disapproved our engagement. But to- day she had not been able to resist the temptation of having a peep at the Lambton diamond. Just as she had slipped it on her finger, and was dancing about. twisting her hand, that the marvelous stone might catch the light, the door opened and Mr. Nugent entered. I prepared to defend Nell from a harsh reprimand but none came. Her father appeared oddly preoccupied, merely took the ring from her, examined it earnestly. and, snapping the lid of the case down upon it, placed it in his pocket and walked away. Next day I was sitting at work. when I saw a. hanson drive up. and Lord Lambton jump out. He came hastily into the room, which adjoined the one where I was sitting and where Mr. Nugent was. "Scoundrell" I heard him say, and could scarcely believe my ears. “You thought to fool me easily by a false stone; but I am as good a judge of jewels as you are. You are a thief, sir!’ What have you done with the diamond l intrusted to you ’2" Mir. Nu ent answered in a lower voice. W at he said. could not have made any great impression upon Lord Lambton. however, for he impatiently interrupted. and at last an ominous threat concerning the “police” reachâ€" ed my ears. ‘ I sat still. I understood very well that Lord Lambton had deliberately acâ€" ouseci my employer of trying to palm off upon him an imitation diamond, yet I knew that I had set the true stone and delivered it to Mr. Nugent only yesterday. l\fy employer himself was a skilled workman, though not a good designer, and in the time that had elapsed lie- twcen my handing him the ring and his transferring it to the owner he could have removed the stone and reâ€" placed it by another. But for such a bold trick to succeed the imitation must be magnificently made, and the oriâ€" ginal diamond must have been care- fully measured. I had never known that. Mr. Nugent kept any false gems about. the place, and besides was it likely that a man in his position would care to run so terâ€" rible a risk? Still, I could not help remembering how haggard and irri- table he had been of late, and the keen interest that he took in the racing in- belligence. As I thus speculated on me astoundâ€" ing accusation. Mm. Nugent himself opened the door of the workroom. lie looked keenly at me as if wondering if it would be safe to trust me. "Did you hear anything of what passed in the next room?" he quesâ€" tioned. I admitted that I had. "Of, course, I shall be triumphantly acquitted," he announced, clearing his throat huskily as he spoke. "Still Lord Lambion can make things disâ€" agreeable. And look here, Wade. I haven’t always been as friendly to you as 1 might, but I can trust you. You'll be an important witness-i. Do what you can for me, for the girl's sake." The words sounded strange, but i was given no time to answer, for at that moment Lord Lunrbton returned with two Scotland Yard men. My employer was given into custody and taken to the police station to be charg~ ed,the detectives remaining to search the premises. M'i'. hugent being a widower. with only one child, the management of the business practically devolved on me, as rho rlelectives ransacked the place. they put many questions to pie :is to where the stones were kept. 'llic safes were all pointed out to them. but they seemed disappointed with their (illt‘i'uvi tions. Late in the evening they came to me in the workroom, and, holding our the ring that I had made for Lnrrl Lniiibimi, one of them mid: "This is your work, we understand. Is that the. stone you set?" . I glanced llL it, but i only replied: "I don't: call myself illl expert in pr'e-r Cirius siorrcs.:iriti alllcrin Slly is that this one precisely resrncbles in size shape and appearance the one glVPIl me to set. \Vhile this statement was practiâ€" oally true, that one glance had been enough to show me that I was not looking at. the Lam'bton diamond. 'i'he detectives left, saying that I would have to tell all I knew in the Witness box, tl-Ilfi then. just as I was about to look up the place for the night, Nell came in. It was the first time she had let me see her since her father had been taken away. The face which I thought the sweetâ€" est on earth was marble white, and ‘ held her. i were dark shadows under the there lashes. “There's something I must. say to you," she printed. “sorricthing I‘ie been wild to say all day, lest it should be‘ too late, but Irlzired not lvt anyone; suspect.

Together we ransacked the old burâ€" cnu. tillti at, length Nell touched the spring which opened the secret draw- er. irdrew in my breath sharply. for the light of ill“. candle which I hcid Struck out. a gloom from ll pile_of ex- quisitely made false stones, which lfiy Li a. partition on the left hand. while on the right, was the Liimbton diamond. Involuntarily I betrayed the dread- ful nature of the discovery by rm exâ€" clamation, for, left to herself, Nell would not have understood. But she w as quick to comprehend, and realizing the worst she swayed, staggering back« ward. “My poor father." she moaned, as I "He is ruined forever vand I. too. The daughter of a. convicted thief is no fit wife for an honest man." “My darling, you are a wife for a king. and as for your father, I swear to you that I will save him yet." "Youâ€"~you cannot." "I tell you that 1 can and will." For even as lspoke an idea had flash-ell into my head which startled me by its audacity. In a moment I had thought out every detail. _ I made up the stones. Lamoron diaâ€" mond nndall, into a packet, carefully closing the secret drawer. and contriv- ing to get away without being seen, and went straight to my brother's house in Kent, managing to avoid the servite of a. subpoena. Thus I was not pre- sent at. the police court proceedings. which would have meant ruin for my plan. 311'. Nugent was committed for trial. and meanwhile I stayed in the couriâ€" try, working each night in locked room with the tools I had brought with me. until the gray dawn filtered under my closed shutters. “'hen I saw my old employer in the dock at the trial l was shocked at the gh'istly change which had come over him. The evidence at first went steadily agriinst him. Lord anbton swore th-ii the stone. in the ring was not his diamond. One expert: testified that not. only was the stone he now saw not rlic Lambton diamond, but wasnnt a. genuine jewel at all. but a. marvelous imitation. Another was not so posiâ€" Iive. He looked at the gem through his glass turning it this way and that. declaring that in all his experience he had never $09.11 a false stone so cleverly evccutc'i as this. indeed, he, was not prepared to swear that it was false. ’lhis was the first ray of doubt \"lllt'h llfld been thrown by the evidence upon Mr. hugent’s guilt; rind then I went into thc box, l was cool now, for the game I had determined on had cost nic inziny a qualm of conscience. Ilut i had no intention of cheating Lord Lambtori. swearing falsely. or tarnishâ€" ing my personal honor. The. preliminary question of the pro- secuting counsel brought out the fact that I ind designed the ring's setting. and done all the work upon it. “What :or't of stone was it your em~ ployer gzivcyou to set i" was the next question. "An extremely valuable white dinâ€" mond."l replied. “Do you swear that. you set the grand ine stone, and delivered the ring when finished to the prisoner’i' "I do." “Do you consider it possible that stone might have bt on taken out and imilatiori one substituted!" "Certainly. liut I could tell who- ther the ring had been tampered with since it left my hands." “'l‘ake this their. examine it. and iii- forrn the trourt if that is the stone you set." The ring was handed to me, and a hush fell upon the court. The kind of lull which denotes that :1 vital point in a has been reached. I put my hand in my waistcoat. pockâ€" et for my jowcler’s glass, and the sharpest eye could not lime been that i also drew forth a new ring, made in the Secret hours of the nightâ€"an exâ€" act. counterpart of the other, save that it contained the real inmbton diuâ€" mond. I pretended 10 examine the imitaâ€" rion with great Oéll‘r’? while all eyes were tired upon me. At length l returned the glass to my peaker, and with it the ring with tln- false stone. 1 could hear my own heart beating. but, lizriidâ€" ing the court usher the new ring. I said firmly. in reply to the srifippish “\\'ell L" of tho prom-ruling counsel: “I swear uirlicsilvitingly that the setâ€" ting of this ring: has not been tampâ€" cr‘eil with, and lint this is the genuine .ilillllflllti which was given me to set."

And so the pii:~.or.:-r was free; but wiicri the verdict of "Not guilty" was pronounced a faint groan echOed it, and a dead man was lilkt‘ll from the dock. A spasm of tho heui't had provâ€" ed fatal.

Children always want a reason for the doing of the simplest things, said it mother the other day. PsycholOgists_ say it is the claims of science work- ing in the mind when it begins to question. To answer these childish in- quiries is not always easy, as every one knows. nor is it wise to discourage the questionings. Sometimes it is the simple liitle interrogations that are hardest to give replies to, such as "Why may I ear with my fork and not not with my knife!" and "\Vhy must I take soup from the side of the sp00n, instead of from the end?" To this last Ihave found th'lt a pr.ictica1 il- lusrrution serves riest,.to show why.

Warm a3 the weather has been this summer, fans have been in but; little use, It. seems as if the fan had entire- ly lost its usefulness anii had become a. mere article of adornment. Apparent- ly it is used no longer to cool the heat- ed person who suffers from the sun's rays. If employed for such a pur- pOse a big palmâ€"leaf fun is used, and as often as not it is a. man who swings it, vigorou-ly hoping to stir up a lit- tle cooling breeze. The fan nowadays is flirtatious, and the flirtatious fan is ripe in winter. It is used in the ballroom after a dance and then more an; an aid to coquetry than for the oil-nsible purpose for which it was devi’sed. It is a part of evening dress, and an indispensable part. It is not vigorously waved, for lit is too expensive an article to bear Suvh hard leigt‘. Dainty and pretty articles are these, and it is no uriCom- mon thing for them to cut himdreds of dollars. .
