The day I gave Mrs. R the dlamorid necklace, I gave one to her sister Belle. It was scan dalous the way I bought diamonds. They never came too big or bril liant for me, and every stone wks tested by my friend, Sllversteln. I used to lunch with Mr. Sllversteln quite often, his pawn-broker shop be ing located on th* same block with my office.

Well, all thing* come In due season, and I felt certain things were about due when Jess went upstairs to dress for dinner. She said she would dress “special” In honor of my good luck and the roses. I knew that “special” meant diamonds. She had been in her room a few mo ments only when I heard her scream. “Mercy! Jess, what Is It?” I asked. “Oh, oh! I’ll die from laughter. Oh, but this Is too funny.” “What Is it, Jess? Tell me at once.” “Why, I—why somebody has stolen my diamond necklace.” Then she • cot off Into another 0t of silly laugb- -Wa«.- I thundered that aumwthiag foaayf* -Tell iu*. la fto.

But would you believe It, the fellow actually had a warrant out for me. “Why, confound it, man,” said I, “my wife had a set of paste diamonds made for safety and I never kn«?w a thing about It,” and then I sailed right In.
