YOUNG AMBBOk
ON THE DIAMQMD
BY EDWARD W. TOWNSEND,
Author of "Chlmmle Fadrien."
tCopj righted, 190G, hy tho New York
Herald Company All Rlghta Ho
served DKAIt MAMMA Thnnk ou for
tending mo the nrnlkn, tho court plas
ter and tho bandage. You alwnyn
lold me to love my enemy, nnd that
enemy certainly ill it neod those things.
I wna glad to hnvo them for him, for
now that wo havo had it out I llko
him very mm.li, and ho Bays lie la my
lcnt friend. It Is only when n buy I
lmc had a little run In with Fays he
Ik my best friend that I feel Hiiro Unit
lie has got all that was coming to
him. Hut, dear Mamma, I will not
cay anything more about thin, b"cnuso
I know It makes )ou feel bad to havo
me quirrel nnd I won't do so any
more If all the bo)s do all that I tell
them to and itont talk back. Aunt
Jano nearly hud a nt when bIic heard
that I had had a dispute with the
boy who said ni namo was to laugh,
blie sled and said that If )ou had nut
married a broker 1 would have been
n different boy. Unkle Tom, ho Bald
he dldn t know about that, for if ever
a hoy was his. mother's ov.n, I was
that boj. t
Why do not the people here llko
brokers? 1 asked Cousin nob that,
nnd he Bald It wns rcall) h question
In Jogrnfy. Tho peoplr out hem. ho
laid, wonder what the New Yorkem
do with all the money they separate
these people from, and In New York
they wonder where these people got
nil tho monr they arc separate!
from. Hut I don t soo when; the Jog
rnfy omc3 In. Cousin Hob told mo
that his father, Untie Tom, onte took
a header Into Wnll street bj the w
ol Dad'n oftlrc. and when ho struck
ground ho was bo woozy ho didn't
even know how to excuse himself to
Aunt Jane, and she haa had her opin
ion of dear Dad ever Klncc. ! asked
Cousin Dob what that opinion wns,
but he said ho had promised Miss
Mar) to glo up-flio line of strong Inn
gunge, so ho would lme to keep from
me the true opinion Aunt Jano lias of
m Dad. I don't sea any sense In
that. Do you?
1 like Miss Mnry very much. She Is
- day drenmjit miking lemonade nnd
ginger cake, "and she made n lot for a
picnic I Kino the fellow k of our base
lull tram with some of the casli funs
dear Dad Hint mo in his last kind let
tir. I bought tho oranges nnd thu
enndy, and Miss Mary made tho lem
onade and the ginger cake, and Cous
in Hob i a mo along to see that tho
snakes didn't blto us. Miss Mary said
we didn't want 111 in for an) such urn
bianco purpose, hut ho told her to
ask me, and ho passed me a quarter
under the tnhlo at tho same time, so
I thought he would llko mo to mi) thul
1 wanted him to come along, nnd 1
fiald sure. Ho told me afterward that
I wan ni) mother's own boy, and knew
how to joll) n game ns well us If jou
had iuMruttril mo In the nrt. 1 dldn t
know what he meant by that, but he
sa)s a lot of things just to say them,
nnd people who aro that" way an- nic
er to talk with than pcoplo who never
hae an) thing to sa) und don't sa) It.
He said that when ou were n girl
hero )ou were known from one end
of tho county to tho other iih one who
must be taken along on every Hlelgh
and straw wagon ride If the occasion
was to bo lit up by an) thing besides
the stable lanterns. Ilo wild )ou led
all the songs and dances and could
ecn mako a church mlto society
lum He said all (tin boys thought
jou an nngel, and quite a hunch or
them had gono to mew York nnd even
worse placcH to drown their soriow
because jou married Papa. Ho said
that It I mentioned this I'd better do
It in a personal letter to )ou and not
to Dad, 03 it might interest you to ho
reminded of )our happy, happ) child
hood, but as llko as not It wouldn't In
terest Papa as he wasn't brought up
In the country.
Dear Mamma, now that I am writ
ing to )our personally, I take my pen
in hand to say that If you happen to
hae a dollar and forty flic ccnta tho
licman didn't need )ou would faor
jour loving Ham by sending it to him.
If It costs no more to Bend $2 by tho
postofllce than a $ and fort) live ccnta
jou might 'conyinlio by sending lhe
two. I nine a use for It. Cousin Dob
also snld )ou were his fnorlte Aunty
(and ho never likes pcoplo unless they
nro very prett)), und he u)s that
when he was a school boy and ftared
10 imrouuco heart ralluro Into his
own famll) by writing homo for mon
'y )ou used to supply him with funs,
sometimes ns mm h na $2 nnd n half
at a time. I said I know you wero the
most kind Mamma in the world. If It
would malco you feci bud to send mo
ess than you used to send Cousin
Hob, I will try to tnlvo are of tho
bamo amount, Two dollars ami a
half, he said It wns.
Hut I wai going to tell )ou about
the picnic, Tho lunch basket was
pretty hcny, for wo put In, besides
tho lunch I told )ou nbout, a bottlo of
French pop Cousin Hob bent to town
for, which he in Id wns needful In
enso of siinkn bite. Ho got bit Ju ,t
leforo wo had lunch nnd opened tho
bottlo, which went off llko n flrccrnck
tr. Miss M&ry took a llttlu glass, foi
Coinln Hob said tho snako got away
nnd might come hack for another bite,
nnd )ou inner could toll which of tho

flic would ask n friend or two to Join

Introduce her to n norfan at) turn I
knew She snld 1 was a disagreeable
thing nnd 'he would novor speak to
me again I told her I dldn t know
of nn) ensler mone) I could make
thin by having her ring off our ac
quaintance nnd then sho began to
rr Now dear Mamma, what Is n
fellow to do when a girl acta silly
llko that? Thin world would be all
right If clrls wero an nlca as bovs.
I but as long as they hnvo the right to
talk back a fellow has no show on
artli nnd ought to get off of It, I
spoie
I told Miss Mar) about It and asked
what a a fellow to do. She thought
a while nnd said It would be easier
for her to answer tho question from
ho girl's side of It but if I wanted
her best opinion It was that when tho
girl ctlrd ror the boy to offer to kiss
and tnnke up I bate a kiss) bo), bo
I went to Cousin Hob and asked him,
and told him about klsi) advice Miss
Mary gni' me Ho said he was not
I ro sure that It was silly advice, and
j would think about It and lot mo know-
later Hut I heard again fioni Mist
Marv :lrit She chases in to me nil
red nnd she slid that a manly llttlo
man would never go nnd tell stories
of advice he got from n lad), and that
I Mie was disappointed In me. That
muui- IMU ny ihuii HI I1IJPV1! Uiai l
guess I began to snivel. Then Cousin
Doli. came and protended not to tew
that I was snivelling, and ho ba)s,
'Hello old man, that advice jou gavu
me wns nil right I'vo proved It."
"How could )nii prove it?" 1 said, not
caring much about his old proof, any
way, "How could you prove It?" I
said, "fcr jou'vo been with Mies Mary
ever since and bad no chnncc to prove
Mi) thing." Then Mhs Mnry got red.
tier than before, ami Cousin Hob said
be meant that ho had proved It In
thcor) whatever that may mean.
Miss Mar) dinted him awn), and then
thu said to mo that it was only fair
for her to practise her own preaching,
to she kissed me, and told mo that
hc didn't mean that I w ain't a man
I) llttlu chap, nnd to go with bir and
try some new ginger bread she had
mado I went, mid she was rlpplngly
Jolly with mo ull the time. So was
tho ginger cuke
Tho l canon that I could use the two
dollars and a half If ou mult send
Hint until for in) funs Is that I want
to buy Mlfs Mar) n collar I saw In
the store It Is nil diamonds, about
fifty nf them, ami bigger than tho
ours you wear when Dad fetches a big
tiistomor up to dtiinir. I ntlcd tho
storel.oepir what it was worth and
bo nbld about Kovcntj-Hvo thousand
dollars, but as ho had traufgled It
i rum Ilhode Island lio could let mo
have It for a dollar and fort) five
ccnta The rest that )ou send mo I'll
eavo to buy Aunt Jano a ruby ring tho
man has, which Is a bargain. He told
me so himself.
I'm studying every day. for school
Is not far off, and I want to stand way
up in in class. Cousin Hob conies to
our lesbons, and says ho never beforo
knew tho delights of tho Intellectual
life. Ilo said ho had mado up his
mind to mako his life work going to
tcbool to Miss Mary.
I'm glad that Cousin Hob lias made
up his mind to do some Work, for
Unklo Tom he is getting kurcous ou
that question, too I heard him say
to Coitfln Hob, -Well Itobert, Isn't it
about time that you decide what you
will do for a living?"
"Yes. father," ,sa)s nob, "I will go
at It J u it as soon as I mako up my
mind which I am best fitted for In
life, pla)lng golr or not playing golf.
Ono of those is bound to bo my life
work" Then Unlclo Tom ho said. "I didn't
have a father to scud me to colli go
and pay my bills "
That proves how much smarter a
father I have than you bad," says
Cousin Hob
"I should think It would make you
blush to sec your Cousin Mary going
to work for a living, and )ou loafing
llko a duke.' lays Unklo Tom
"Dcnr father," sajn Cousin Hob, "I
cannot tell you how bad It makes me
feel to keo Cousin Mary going to
work If )ou felt ns bad ns I do about
It )nu would approve my plan to keep
her from It I am ready to glvo her
a llfo of lessure, no matter at what
cost to jou .
Unklo Tom he laughed, and said ,
Hob was setting a bad example fot v
me Hut I said that when I was a
mnn I wns going to be a bioker nnd
get nil the iiuiiic) the other folks
inrncd, mid pla) ball on tho Stork
Kxchnnge Miii nnd get m) picture In
tho paper like Dad
When )Ou bend the IS und a half,

Your loving son,
