A DIAMOND RING
BY INA BREVOORT ROBERTO
L
Max felt decidedly pleased
with himself as he walked up the
steps of a palace belonging to one a
of New York's millionaires. This —
millionaire and all his belongings
of special interest to the |
were
public just at that time because
his daughter was shortly to be
married to a titled foreigner and
the wedding, in the magnitude of
its splendor, was to eclipse all |
previous weddings.
A well-known photographer j
had received an order from a ^
magazine for photographs of the (
important rooms in the home of
the bride elect, and Max, who
was the photographer's right
hand man, was now on his way it
j
'
to take the pictures.
Arrived at the house, Max
began with the drawing room.
He then proceeded to the library.
This room, though large and im
pressive because of the number
of books it contained, looked more
homelike and less awe inspiring
than the other rooms.
When he had the light and his
camera arranged to his satisfac
tion Max sent away the servants
who were helping him and pre
pared to take the picture. As
he was about to remove the cap
he heard the rustle of a gown,
and a woman's face appeared
between the curtains that hung
in a doorway directly in range of
the camera.
The face belonged to a tall,
slender creature, half girl, half
woman. When she saw Max she
seemed startled, but at sight of
his camera she recovered her
be

in
to
composure.
May I come in? She asked the
question in a hesitating way.
Max smiled at ber. I would
rather you waited a few minutes,
he returned, uneasily, unless you
want to be in the picture. Just
step back out of sight and I will
call you in a moment.
The girl's astonished face as
she obeyed him made Max realize
that he had been a trifle dictator
ial to someone who had more
right there than he. She evi
dently lived in the house and he
found himself wondering, as he
timed his exposure, in what
capacity.
He came to the conclusion that
she was probably companion or
secretary to one of the family.
Her dress, as well as her way of
carrying herself and her manner
of speaking, told him she was
not a servant, and he knew that
the millionaire and his family
were out of town. They were
supposed to have slipped away
to give the bride-elect a few
days' rest and shelter from
publicity before the wedding.
You may come in now, Max
called.
As the girl entered tlie room
he noticed that she was very
pretty She walked over to his
camera, which she examined with
interest.
Do you like this work? she
asked.
Why, yes, Max answered care
lessly, and he smiled. He
was a good-looking young man,
with a peculiar charm in his
smile which made it difficult'to
refuse him anything he chose to
ask.

The girl seated herself before
the fire and began listlessly to
turn the pages of a magazine,
meanwhile asking questions
about his work until Max found
himself growing communicative.
He told her how busy they were
at the studio and that he pre
ferred photographing interiors
to taking portraits of actresses
and oelebrities; interior work was
harder, but portraits became
monotonous.
This bouse is a beauty, isn't it?
he remarked.
The girl looked surprised,
then she smiled. Yes, it is a
nice house, she said.
You don't say that very en*
thusiastically, observed Max,
turning to look at ber. but I
suppose you're too used to it to
have- it impress you as it does
me. There'll be a fine time her
when that wedding comes off, he
went on.
It's going to cost
something, I tell yoa, but I like
to see rich people spend their
money. It seems queer, though,
making such a fuss over a slip of
a girl not out of her teens. Do
you know her? he asked sud
denly.
Yes, I know her.
Do you like ber? I h;tve al
ways heard that she had a verj
lovely disposition, sweet and
gentle, you know, aud all that.
Ob, I suppose under all her
moods she has a fairly good
heart, said the girl, rising and
going over to look out from one
of the windows.
man
Well, she'll need it if she keeps
her prince in order, said Max in
a matter-of-fact tone. Of all the
— 1 wonder if that girl knows
what a poor sort of man he is?
| Max's companion made no
reply to this speech, but chanc
be ing to look at her, be saw that
her lips were tightly pressed
of together,
all |
j
a ^ —to try and get you to discuss
( the affairs of the people you
of work for?
The girl's face relaxed, and
she smiled as she answered: Oh,
it does not matter. People who
j have money must expect to be
discussed, I suppose.
A silence followed which was
I beg your pardon, he said,
' contritely.
That wasn't nice of me, was it
of
of
broken only by the faint splash
ing of the fountain in the ball.
Max was intent on bis exposures
and his companion, who had re
turned to her chair, appeared to
be absorbed in a book.
I wish Maisie could see this
house! Max cried suddenly.
The girl looked up quickly.
Who is Maisie? she asked.
Max's face grew red under his
fair skin; he had spoken without
stopping to think. Maisie is—
he began in a blundering way;
she is the girl I am engaged to,
he ended bravely. The shyness
in bis manner, in such contrast
to his former easy assurance,
seemed to amuse and please his
companion.
So you are going tobe married,
too? .she said, smiling at him.
No, I am not going to be
married for a long while yet,
Max answered, ruefully. I only
wish I were. But there's no
such luck.
Doesn't she want to be married
as
he
he
or
of
yet?
Yes, but we've got to wait.
Why? The girl's voice was
full of interest.
Too poor, Max answered,
laconically. We must wait till I
get my salary raised and save up
something for a rainy day. Can't
live on love, you know.
The girl's face grew wistful.
Sometimes I think I should like
to try, she said.
Max laughed.
It wouldn't
work. You can't enjoy life when
you're worrying about money
all the time. But, after all, he
continued to his own affairs, it
does not really cost such a lot to
keep house, and Maisie is a first
rate manager. If I only had
more saved up, we would not be
actually obliged to wait for the
raise. It makes me mad when I
think of all the money I wasted
before I knew Maisie. I tell
in
in
of
F.
you, it takes a girl like her to
take the nonsense out of a fellow.
Now, just to show you the kind
of girl she is, he went on, she is
crazy about diamonds. So I made
up my mind not to propose to
her until I had saved_enough to
buy her a solitaire ring. When
I bad fifty dollars (you can get a
very fair stone for that nowa
days, yon know) I asked her to
marry me, and after she had said
Yes we went together to get the
ring. And what do you think
that girl did? Picked out a plain
moon-stone and flatly refused to
have any diamond. She said
diamonds were a foolish extrava
gance for people like us, and I
must put the money away toward
furnishing our flat. Now, what
do you think of that? Max looked
at his companion as if challeng
ing her to cite an instance of
greater heroism.
I think Maisie is a girl worth
having.
Well, she has made a man of
me, declared Max, and I'll wager
that's more than the girl who
lives here can do with her prince.
In fact, I don't believe she'll
even try. All girls are not like
Maisie.
Max's companion bad risen
and was staring into the fire
place, where the flames of the
gas log leapt and curled. You
are right, she said; all girls are
not like Maisie. But perhaps
she will try, she added, softly,
and then went away without
waiting to say good-bye.
Max looked after her retreat
ing figure with a perplexed face.
Well! he ejaculated, she did go
off in a hurry,
hurt her feelings? She seems to
be touchy on the subject of that
wedding. It isn't often I talk to
any one about Maisie, but that
girl was different, somehow,
from the general run of people.
Pretty and nice, too, with fine
nfers. 1 suppose that comes
from watching the swells. If
she co mes back I'm going to ask
her who she is. I wanted to
before, but didn't dare. It's
I
I wonder if I
the
man
fanny what there is about some
people that won't let yoa ask
them questions.
But his companion of the
morning did not appear again.
At the doer as Max was go
ing out, a pompous servant
handed him an envelope and a
small package. I was desired to
give you these, he said.
What?—began Max.
You were not to ask any ques
tions, sir, interrupted the man
gently, as, without giving Max
time to speak, he swung open the
massive door, letting in a flood of
light and a dim roar of mingled
noises.
Bewildered, Max went out into
tnesunshineanddown the marble
steps, opening the envelope as
he walked. There was a letter
inside, written on heavy, mono
gram med paper:
I want Maisie to have what I
send with this letter. Tell her
to wear it, not because it is the
gift of one who will soon bear a
title, but because it comes from
a woman she has helped. And
tell her, too. that all the diamonds
in the world could not weigh
against being loved as she is.
The letter bore the signature
of the bride-elect whose marriage
would make a princess. With a
grave face Max took the wrap
ping from the package and touch
ed the spring of the jewel case it
contained. The cover flew up,
disclosing a ring set with a single
radiant diamond, a priceless
stone that caught the sun's rays
and flashed and sparkled, blaz
ing with light and fairy colors.

Time to Use The Split Log Drag
When the frost is coming out of tbs
ground in the spring is one of tbe beet
periods of tbe eotire year for an effective
use of the split log drag on tbe eartb
roads. Its use will not be timed by ■
previous rain as is tbe requirement of
summer dragging but any day When the
roads thBw out presents au opportunity
for satisfactory work with the drag. Roads
dragged in tbe early spring will be tbe
first to take form; tbe crown given tbe
road will assist tbe road in ridding itself
of tbe moisture it contains and tbe earlv
dragging will more easily obliterate tbe
deep and wagon-tracking ruts which have
formed during tbe winter, with its alter
nate freezing and thawing. The liberal
use of the drag now will show its good
effects in mid eummer. It will reeuit in
a reduction of mud in wet weather, tbe
road baviog better opportuuitiee for shed
ding water, and of oust io dry weather;
dust is dry mud disintegrated, and any
thing that will operate or reduce tbe
amount of mud will likewise result io a
dust reduction. Tbe split-log drag and
its economical maintenance of tbe eartb
road is no longer an experiment. It baa
