That’s what we are so gay about. You remember that ‘Diamond Dollar?' ” Did I remember it? It was that “Diamond Dollar" that cost Ferguson his desk on the Gazette. Not more tiian two months ago lie was as dapper, well-dressed and apparently successful a man as there was in the Cincinnati reportorial fraternity. His duty was the covering of tire news along the river front» of the Kentucky towns facing and above Cincinnati, and, being a graceful writer, he managed to get in a column or two of breezy special mat ter on misceil tneous subjects each week—every column of such matter being a clean addition of five dollars to his not princely salary. It was nine o’clock one Thursday night when word came over the tele phone wires from the fire chieftain's office that the tow-boat Ohio Greyhound was burning at her landing, three miles above Newport. In lift ion minutes camo tho supplementary report that her entire tow of seven barges was doomed, and that John Stacv and "Stumpy,” tho cook, were missing— presumably burned with the wreok. "Ferguson can have tivo columns for chat,” complacently remarked the city editor. "Hare, Newport, get a rig; jump out there; find Ferguson and help him. Get in as much as possible before twelve, and, if it promises good matter after tliat. wire the facts. We will dress them up.” At half-past twelve o’clock I was again at the office with the skeleton article. The fire had taken place early in the afternoon. Three lives and $65.« 000 worth of property were lost. I had seen nothing of Ferguson. But while I was making a hasty oral report to this effect Ferguson strolled into the office. He was at peace with himself and the world, and his stiff, white col lar lifted itself immaculately above his black tie and unruffled shirt front. ‘•Nothing moving,” he said, airily, as he placed the day’s report on the editor sdesk. "Everything dead along the river to-day.” "No fights nor fires?” asked the city editor in his blandest tones. “Nothing; but here is a little special that will look well in the Sunday sup plement. I have been up to the library iooking up points far it all afternoon. With a scare head—first line. ‘The Diamond Dollar!'—it will prove as good matter as actual news, and----- •’ “There is no aetual news, then?” “Nothing of importance.” By this time the telegraph men, tne managing editor, half of the local forco, and even one or two of the brevier writers, had drifted into the city room, wheie they floated about aimlessly, waiting for the explosion that was to lift the unfortunate Ferguson. But, suspecting nothing, he continued his panegyric on the Diamond Dollar. "Unless you call this piece of special matter news, there is none. But it will be news to most of the readers. It deals with the subject of rare coins, giving the dates and the values of all United States coins worth more than their face value. There are hundreds of pieces in daily circulation for which collectors would give twenty times their value as bullion. This article will serve to tell the people what dates of coin are in demand, so that they may watch the money that passes through their hands and sell the rare coins at a premium. There is one dol lar, of the mAitage of 1804. which is worth $¿00.” For the past few seconds the city editor had been rapidly writing upon a slip of paper, and here he interrupted enthusiastic remarks about the valuable dollar. “Yon know the rule of the office, Mr. Ferguson,” he said, in an icy tone; "no man with us gets a chance to be grossly scooped twice. You have failed | to catch one of the most sensational fires of the year, although you had twelve hours in which to <io it. Here is an order on tho counting room for your money up to Saturday night You have my best wishes for your future. Good night!” That was how he lo3t his desk on the Gazette, and. breezy writer that ho was, in three months he had found it necess ary to take up the lines of a street-car driver’s life or starve. “You remember that Diamond Dol lar?” he said again, after answering the sharp clang of the bell above his head by bringing the car to a stop long enough for the gray-bearded talker to alight: "well, curiously enough, I have found one nt them. I should never have known its value had I not collected the data for that unfortunate article of mine; and----- ” "Do you mean me to understand that you have found a dollar of 1804, act- nallv worth $500?” "Precisely so, dear boy. Drivers handle a great deal of silver, and among the money m my pocket last night I found this.” He had unbuckled his belt, unbut toned his coat, and with some difficulty brought out in his gloved fingers a worn silver dollar, without the milled edges which characterize the late issues of tho coin. He was singularly excited. Ho looked at the piece of silver as a a doomed man might look at an unex pected reprieve. It meant another 1 start in life, a chance to build up wealth and reputation on »journal of his own; it meant a wife; it gave him Virginia. His hand trembled slightly with the tumult of his thoughts. One of the car’s front wheels, strack a stone, jumped ths track, and for a few seconds the vehicle jolted violently ever the cobble stones. Ferguson s face sud- uentv tiirnen io tn a color oi asnes. He leaped over the dash-board sur rounding the platform, groped in the mud under the car wheels, and then, with his lips set tightly together, handed me a battered and bent piece of silver. I was the diamond dollar. It had slipped from his uncertain grasp, and the sharp flanges of the car-wheels had ground the date and figures from its face and b>>nt it almost out of resem blance of a coin. Then Ferguson took up the lines again, and from his present prospects the people who ride behind him wdl con tinue to laugh at his old dress and asso ciate him in their minds with the mules he drives for months, or perhaps years, to come.
