THE ROSE DIAMOND.
., . . T , , ... ,
Ned Glrard and I wero leaving the din-
mondflelda in ncoaoh drawn hytilx horses.
Wo had secured a roso diamond whloh m
a fortune Wo hod boon admiring It whan
a man dashed In upon us, solzcd Hand
mado away. Of courso we gavo tho alarm
as quickly ns wo could rugaln our scat-
tend Ideas; hut. though half the malo
rtSafflKSrtL-rfr
dlscouraced. had sold our claim toacou-l
pie of newcomors for about $1,G00, and,
with thoso composing our prcsont stafto
ooaoh party, had takon passago for Wel
lington, intending to return homo.
Besides a small, spectacled man, who rep
resented hlniBolf as a sort of colportour for
a religious seolety at Capo Town, our fellow
Dassoncrcrs composed two diamond bro-
tr. tnthnr with a vounir and very boast-
nsaruessrzssts.1
Tho latter had boon very successful, and
It was with feelings of envy wo heard him
relrtto tho result of two weeks' work In o
deserted claim, whero, as ho Informed us
with many profane nssoveratlons, he had
struck n "pookot" from which ho had tak
en stones whoso valuo he declared was at j
least 120,000. Thoso ho carrlod In a licit
about his waist, togothor with n consider
able sum of money from tho Kilo of liln
claim, as ho Bald, whllo girded to ultlior
hip was a heavy rovolvor as safoguard
gainst posslblo attacks from rood agouts.
"They wouldn't play any of their gamos
on mo," replied McArthur, touching tho
butt of his rovolvor.
Tho palo bluo eyes of tho llttlo man,
who boro tho namo ot Smith, twinkled
ever so slightly behind his spectacles.
"My dear sir," he exclaimed In deprecat
ing tones, "you surely would not commit
tho awful crlmo of murder, oven to pro
vent tho loss of tho filthy lucro vrhloh
you"
Bnt his protestation was cut short by
tho sudden and abrupt stoppage ot tho
sUigo and n torrlflod yoll from the Krow
boy who drove. Almost at tho sarao mo
inont a man sprang from either sldo of tho
road with n lovelod rifle.
Tho valinut MoArthur dropped on tho
bottom of tho coach with a cry of terror,
which was focbly echoed by Mr. Smith. In
obedience to a srutt command MoArthur
handed his revolvers to the smullor of tho
two road agcnt9, who, scorning to bo as
sured that no weapons wero worn by any
othor of tho party, caused us lo ullfht.
Nod and myself had about js.oo between
UHiuidu bill of oxolmngo on a bunk In
Capo Town, which tho tailor robber Uok
from us. McArthur raved and stonnod ns
ho was relieved of his belt.
Tho llttlo man wruni? his hands nnd
rojhcd his volco In mock nupplln.itlmi,
while, his epectoclod eyes wsro Used, ns
though in a sort of fahvluatlm, upon iho i
rufiluu who hold tho rrosontcd rlllo. Llt
tlo Mr. Smith pltoouBly ontroatod tint tho
muziloof tho loaded rlilo bo turned unldo
from his affrighted fuco. With u houro
laugh tho road agout tossed hU rlilo Into
tho hollow of his ana.

Meanwhile Nod, who was of a practical
turn, began taking from tho capacious

Taluablos and money of which our llttlo

wysoll uttered a simultaneous rry or iiriou

for It was our stolen diamond.

"I'd like to sen nny ouo try to tuko It!"
said Nod, with n dangerous gleam In his
eyes.
Llttlo Mr. Smith nodded approvingly
und romovod from tho dead man's body tho
money belt of which Mr. MoArthur hud
been deprived. But Instead ot handing It
to that gentlomau ho buckled it about his
own waUt, with an agreeable erallo.
"What docs this meant" yelled Mc
Arthur, whoso faco was purplo with rago,

"It's no uso kicking, William," quietly

So many things are adver
tised by dealers ns suited to
tho wants of persons who de
light in giving during tho
Christmas season. Nearly
every merchant or manufac
turer advertises that his wares
are suitable for Christmas; it
doesu't inako any difference
whother it is a needle case or
a 12 ton roller. Wo differ from
most merchants because wo
mu
. .u.. u
only useful articles fit to bo
nut m a stocking. In these
fin do sieclo times when Santa
Claus has ceased in tho minds
of anyone above a four year
old, useful and beautiful pre
sents are selected. Whero is
tho Miss of fifteen who would
not rather have a set of China
in her stocking than a wax
doll Wo have sots or single
pieces fit to grace any table
beautiful French Ware with
lmndsomo decorations.
But our stock of Cut Glass
is what wins tho ladies. Com
petition in this line of goods
has brought tho price down
with us to a trillo above cost
it is chfap enough now to go
into tho homes of tho poor.
We have everything in tho
