We were sitting around the big, shining table in the famous billiard- room off Broadway. Scores of men were clicking ivory balls within hear- ing, and Lyon, the man who writes, was talking about something or other. There sat at the table, beside Lyon, Chick Miller, the general advertising ' man; Bill Miller, the street-car adver- tising man; Frank Walton, the com- poser, and the transmitter of this mys- tery. “Tll tell you a story,” said Lyon, without preface. “You can write it or not. It comes straight from a dia- | mond salesman.” “Go ahead,” rejoined the crowd In a critical tone. “This diamond salesman,” Lyon continued, “was brought up with Gib- boney’s. You know Gibboney's. Every diamond ring in the world tries to pretend that it once came from Gib- boney’s. “Well, this boy—mind you, his name {8 Ellis—told me the story him- self, having witnessed it with his own eyes. On a sunny afternoon a motor- car drives up to the front door and out steps a dignified woman of great wealth, judging from her appearance. “Her demands were simple. She wanted to select a diamond or two, and Ellis brought forth a tray of vel- vet containing a dozen or more spark- lers. Not a stone in the tray was worth ! less than a thousand, but the dowager duchess looked them over somewhat haughtily and pronounced it as her opinion that they were a somewhat in- ferior cluster of gems. “With a sigh of disappointment he prepared to put the tray back in the case, and, in doing so, he noticed that one of the diamonds was missing. “Ellis wriggled his left ear, which is the house signal summoning the head detective, and in a few moments a conference began which {included young Ellis, the detective, and the strange lady in black silk. “Ellis explained the circumstances briefly, being withered meanwhile by the glances of the outraged queen. There were eighteen expensive and un- set diamonds in the tray before the lady pawed them over, and at the con- clusion of her examination there were seventeen. “Therefore, it followed that she must have been perniciously active. The strange lady called young Ellis a low person and froze him into a state of speechlessness; but it s somewhat difficult to freeze a head detective at Gibboney’s. This latter person, who was of Irish descent, and whose jaw protruded some distance, decided that the society leader must be searched, and, without further formalities, she was led away to the ladies’ searching department. “In an hour the lady searchers opened the door and announced to the officials that if the lady had a diamond about her it must be buried in her heart. “There was nothing to do but re- lease the strange lady in black sflk. Gibboney Company sent down-town to a detective agency for a man. Detec- tive Ratty listened gravely, and finally gave orders. “He explained that no person should be permitted to enter the aisle upon which the case of jewels was located. “For three days nothing happened. Detective Ratty stood guard, in com- pany with the head store detective. On the third day a dapper young man in a light blue suit, wearing gray spats and carrying a white cane, pushed open the swinging door and entered. He walked straight down the forbid- den aisle and paused to converse with young Ellis. “Five minutes later Detective Ratty walked up to the newcomer, placed his hand on hls shoulder, and arrested him. The stranger was instantly searched, and immediately the expen- stve diamond was found! “Now!" sald Lyon, pausing and casting a triumphant glance upon the group of cynical listeners, “how did the detective know that this strange young man had the diamond?” All of the crowd, except Chick Mil- ler, looked mystified and inquiring. During the latter part of Lyon's sketchy recital Chick Miller had picked up an evening newspaper and had scribbled upon the margin two words in pencil writing. He tore off the bit of margin and handed it to Frank Walton, who read it uncompre- hendingly. “You don’t know, so it's a story,” Lyon went on, after a slight pause. “The woman in the black silk lifted the diamond, rolled it up in a piece of gum she had been chewing, and stuck t nnder the jewelry-caso The young man hiod ¢ to retricve the plece of * 2nd its valuable kernel. Is that A story or not?” Frenk Walton held up the piece of paper on which Chick Miller had serib- bled “Chewing-gum,” he read “Certainly,” Chick Miller said. "1 knew the answer when you got half- way through the story. The point {s, I read that s > thing 2 long time ago, and to pro t1 answer and handed it to ton.” “But this man Ellis told me that it happened to him,” Lyon agrued. “And I tell you I read it where,” Chick Miller answered. “Well,” Lyon replied, “if you read it somewhere, 1 suppose it isn't g story.” te down the Frank Wal- some- Conservation On the Farm Practically every farm in this coun would show a nice profit if the above cx- pressed idea could be and was carried ou with all its possibilities.
