The other evening a well dressed man put up at a hotel in Buffalo. On the middle finger of his right baud was a heavy gold ring in which, was set a diamond of unusual brilliancy. It was tbe first thing one noticed about the man. It shone and sparkled In quite a wonderful way. The hotel clerk was Interested <n him and his gem and elic ited his story. “My name is Lee—Charles Lee," said the m«n. “I am from Savannah. This ring I have worn on my finger for 20 years. It is no wonder you are Inter ested in it I believe it is one of the finest diamonds in Georgia. I showed it to a jeweler awhile ago, and he of- ’*red me $10,000 for it So yon see it is valuable as it looks. There have •t scores of people who have asked About it, but I have very seldom told the story which it recalls. I can not tell its entire history, and what I don’t know is very likely more inter esting than what I do. “■When I was a boy, I lived with my nncle down on a Georgia plantation. One (Jay, while prowling through the garret of the big house, I found a trunk which was unlocked. I opened It. It was filled with old laces and women’s clothes of a fashion of years befqre. Down toward the bottom I saw a small jewel case. Inside I found this stone. I left it there and went dowti stairs and asked my uncle about it. He wouldn’t believe my story. He went up to the garret to see for him self, and he was a surprised man when he came down again. Several days lat er he told me all about it. “My uncle was an old man then, but when he was a boy he bad been a sail or and had been all over the world. When he was on board ship, be made friends with a man named Galvin. Galvin was a wayward sort of man and not to be depended upon. Once tbe ship touched at Havre, and be ran away. My uucle did not see him again for 15 years. Then, one day, a broken down man, looking much older than be really was, came to the old Georgia homestead. “My uncle had a long talk with him In the library. The man was Galvin. He said he was being followed by tbe police for Implication in some big rob bery, and he wasted my uncle to pro tect him. He had been such a good friend to my uncle in former days that my uncle did not have tbe heart to turn him away. He gave tbe man a home for several weeks. By that time the robbery bad been almost forgotten, and Galvin went away. Before he went he gave my uncle this stone. 'I picked it up somewhere,’ he said. ‘I don’t know what It’s worth, but I want you to take It for what you’ve done for me.’ “So my uncle kept it. He did not know Its value. He laid it away some where and forgot all about it. He was not particularly fond of jewels and never wore them himself. “Years after that be received a letter written in a large, sprawling band. It was from Galvin. He had sent it from some place in Kansas, which was then out in the wild west. He wrote that he was sick and likely to die and had repented of bls crimes. And he wrote the interesting Information that he had stolen the diamond from a big bouse tn London, where be bad fallen in with a gang of housebreakers. “It had been stolen with tbe other jewels of a wealthy young woman who was about to be married. Her name was Vincent. He asked my uncle to make a search for the young woman, and if he ever succeeded in finding her to return to her the diamond with •Galvin’s compliments.’ “My uncle happened to be in London on a pleasure trip two years later, and he spent several days trying to find the young woman. He searched through old police records and did everything in his power, but it was a hopeless task. lie got trace at last of a young woman who had married an army offi cer and who had died In India soon after her marriage, and there were cer tain bits of Information which led him to believe this might be the person he wanted. But he was uuable to find anything more about her. He could find none of her friends or relatives. “Soon he had to leave London, and the search for the missing Miss Vin cent was never continued. If ever 1 go to London, I think I will make a try at It myself, just for curiosity. It Is 50 years ago that tbe stone was stolen, and I don’t suppose I would have any success. Still It would be an Interest ing search, and If I did succeed what a story It might bring to light If the owner of the ring la alive, she must be at least 70 years old. In ten years from now there will not ’. j a chance left of success. “To tell the truth. I have been glad at times that the owner never was found, for I would hate to part with a $10,000 diamond. “My uncle was always careless about things of that sort, and he lost track of IL He had not been able to find It un til years later, when I made tbe discov ery in the trunk. Shortly before he died, some 20 years ago. he gave the stone to me on the condition that I would return It to the rightful owner If she should ever be found. I have worn It ever since.”—Exchange. if Grip thraaSans tus Mr. Muer' Nema*. LAKE CITY AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN TRANSCON TINENTAL TRAVEL. No one crossing the continent can afford to cut »alt Lake City from his route. The attractions of the place, including the Mormon temple, taber nacle and church institutions, the Great Salt Lake—deader and denser than the Dead sea in the holy land— th« picturesque environment and the warm sulphur and hot springs, are are greater to the square yard than any locality on the American canti nent. The Rio Grande Western Rail way, connecting on tbe east with the Denver & Rio Grande and Colorado Midland Railways and on the west with the Southern Pacific (central route) and Oregon Short Line, is the only transcontinental line passing di rectly through Salt Lake City The route through Salt Lake City is fa mous all the year round. On account of the equable climate of Utah and Colorado it is just as popular in win ter as in summer. Sena two cents to J. D. Mansfield, 253 Washington St., Portland, or to Geo. W.
