SALT
Tbe Stolen
Diamond.
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.

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

Getting
Thin

and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is
healthy; a little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently
thin, no matter what cause, take
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil.
There are many causes of get

under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can,
but, whether you can or not,
take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance yourself
with your work. You can’t live
on it—true—but, by it, you
can. There’s a limit, however,
