MRS; STAFFORD'S CHRISTMAS ;: . STAR. Copyright, USD, ty C W. Book. . Albert Stafford, attorney and coun selor at lair, made a resolution on the first day of the Tear that be would saTe enough money In the next II months to -bny his wife tome hand some diamonds for Christmas. Stafford felt very mean' about the trivial pres ent that be bad made to her on this holiday but a week before; hence the good resolution. , There was no reason why be should not keep It. lie bad a good Income . from bis profession and about as much jnore" from bis share of" an estate In trust- In fact, be would hare been thought rich If be had 11 Ted anywhere . else but In New York. Stafford had bad considerable experi ence with himself In this matter of Baric; money, and It all-pointed one way. lie couldn't do It. Im a child In such matters," he raid to himself. "And since I know that, why shouldn't I treat myself like a child r - So be bought half a dozen little Iron -banks and strewed the path of bis dal ly life with them.

He wreck d every one of these little Institutions many' times. When be made an an nual statement for them In the mid dle of December, be found that the available cash was less than $30, and 'some of that was In damaged coin. .- He bad the JoO from the banks In Lis -pocket In a little canvas bag when . be left the house one morning. It was an exceptionally fine day. and he de cided to walk down town. He selected some of the less- familiar streets, andln one of them his eye was attracted by the window of a pawnshop, kept by a person named Lowenstcla. There was a sign In the window wbereon were the words, "Bargains In Diamonds. Net!" 34 could bt-iter have suited fi 2c ;l"s nevd. It bad not occurred to .Liiu to bey except in the orthotics marts of uaue. but it would do no harm to see what Mr. l.ovu5teIn had to offer. In the shop he was rrulstr.,! to ex amine a number of fairly 1 iones that were offered at really attractive . . prices, but be saw nothing that epe : '-dally appealed to him. There were J.00 . . many men lined up before the Snort jjo-unter. and the air In the place? was Tery bad. so Stafford. did not remain long. He strolled away In rather a dlssat TT Jsfied mood. His conscience was trou bling him for haTlug robbed those 11 1 r, .tle banks. If be bad only let them r . alone, he would hare had money enough. - t . ' - This consideration led him to pat his .hand into the side pocket of bis sack coat, where the money from the banks , ought to have been, but was not! 1 ""He knew this fact even before bis T band got Into hts pocket, for he missed - the weight of the money. He stopped ': short, struck with that dull mystlflca tlon which Is the first sensation on Jsuch occasions. , ' Aimlessly be thrust a hand Into the pocket on the other side. Of course the money wasn't there, but something else '. 'was, a queer thing with manf angles. He pulled it out. and It proved to be a Ktar of gold set with glittering dia xaonds. Stafford took off his hat and fanned himself with It. though It was the mld , die of December. "Somebody J jaid he, "has sold me 1 about $2,000 worth of diamonds for . ITc pnt the flashlns star Into hi pocket and his hat upon his head and walked back to Lowensteln's shop. It was not possible, but It was as nearly possible os anything he could think of. that he bad pocketed the star whilq ex nmralng the harzal.i. though he had S R..eurK i w I injU;llrffl III 4' '. .v r-- "--.Ct "bJLS JULJL I ;anTthliijyon lavenf orfmprive; also get!- n - - iTn 4li (f " ' f ." - I !

Re entering the shop, he asked . "Lowen- stein if he had a gold star set with 'diamonds in stock, and the pawnbroker replied that he had not seen such. a thing la some time. . : ' ... By hard thinking upon the problem for the remainder tf the day Stafford reached the conclusion that It was. es- .sentlally Insoluble. Ilowever, the Jew el certainly did not lelong to him. It should be returned to1 Its owner. So Stafford put some advertisements In the next morning's papers. He did not glre his name or true address In them. for be bad decided to keep ihe affair & secret from bis wife. " If be "told her about It, he would hare to show the star, and It was so beautiful that It would make whatever present be might buy look like a pewter spoon. In the most secret drawer of a desk In his private den at home he bestow ed the treasure while awaiting a claln ant. None appeared in four days, and then a most unfortunate thing hap pened. Mrs. Stafford, rummaging in that desk for the Tery first time in her life as she solemnly declared found the star and of course supposed that It was her Christmas present She was so supremely delighted that she couldn't keep the discovery to her self. She told her husband when be came' borne for dinner that day that he was the dearest and best of mortal j creatures, and It did not take him long to find out why she thought so. Some men In such a position would hare told the truth, but it must be re membered that Stafford is a lawyer. He let her think what pleased her best about the star. "If the thing isn't claimed before Christmas." said he to himself. Til glTe It to her. If It Is, 111 raise the money somehow and buy another Just like It1 That day a very quiet and gentleman ly Individual whom Stafford Instantly remembered baring seen In Lowen- steln's shop called at the lawyer's of fice and claimed the star. He describ ed It perfectly, and he told a convinc ingly straight story of the loss of it. AH, HERE IS MRS. WALWORTH TO CLAIM HER PROPERTY!" . He and a friend had been picking up a few bargains In diamonds and had secured the star just before vlsitiii; Lowensteln's place. Stafford's caller whose card bore the name of John M. Dee ring had been examining the Jew el while at Lowensteln's and on finish ing had put It, as he supposed. Into-the side Docket of bis friend's coat. Half an hour biter be was horrified to learn that his friend did not have the star. The two compared their rec ollections and finally Identified Stafford ' by mutual memory of his appearance as the man who must have stepped be tween them as they stood before the counter Just in time to receive the Jew el that was meant for another. They had searched for him without success, and it was by accident that Mr. Deertng bad seen and recognized Stafford that morning just as be was entering the building In which his of fices were situated. Of course the lawyer demanded more proofs, and Deertng professed himself quite ready to furnish them. He would produce his friend and the broker from whom the star had been purchased. Deeiing's manner convinced Stafford of the truth of his story. The real own er of the diamonds had appeared. Then what was" to be done to prevent the disruption of a happy borne? How, oh, how, wss the matter of that supposed Christmas present to be straightened out? Inspiration came to Stafford In hi despair. He took the star to a manu facturing Jeweler and secured his promise to duplicate tt In three days with real gold and the finest quality of paste, - The Jeweler guaranteed th.it Mrs. Stafford should not be able to trt the difference. By what artifices" Stafford held ofi Peering long enough-for the Jeweler to do bis work I leave to the Imagination of those who liave dealt with lawyers.

On Christmas day' Stafford "gare the "bogus star to bis wife. v He felt meaner than ever before In bis career, but" there was no help for It.. The best he could "do for I his conscience was to swear, solemnly that he must speedily replace the paste jewels by real ones. . On the evening of Jan. 8 the star was stolen.: It was taken from; what Mrs, Stafford believed to be a secure hiding place In ber dressing, table. : The theft occurred In the evening while the couple were "at the theater. A servant had been In the apartments all the evening, but had heard no un nsual sound. Nothing " of any couse- quence except the star had been taken. If Stafford .had believed that the star was gone forever, he might al most have found It In bis heart to re joice, but he thought It likely that the police would find It without much trou ble. One of the central office detect ivea sent to the bouse said that the robbery 'looked like the work of friend of his, and he thought he'd have him In a day or two! Another, however, was suTe It was the servant, Stafford believed that If the police found the star they would discover Its fraudulent character. The only way to prevent such a catastrophe was to find It first himself. . "Splitting the difference between the two theories of the police, Stafford suspected the janitor of the building. principally because be did not look honest. With a lawyer's assurance' he went straight to this man and accused him point blank. The janitor denied It, but he was so badly frightened that he packed a few of bis goods and fled that night. The police got wind of bis flight and arrested him next day with the star in his possession. Stafford was summoned by telephone to police headquarters to reclaim the property. In the room of the chief of detectives he found the Janitor a pris oner. Mr. Deerlng and Mr. Stackpole were also present, and on a table lay two diamond stars and Stafford's bag of money. "You know these two gentlemen, I believe," said the chief of detectives, addressing Stafford. "They're profes sional thiares and confidence men. Both of them were arrested a few days ago coming out of Lowensteln's pawn shop. My men thought to find stolen property on them, but there was noth ing except that bag, and we couldn't tell at first whether that belonged to them or not. "Today I've learned the whole story They were In there with you. The one who calls himself Deering had in his possession a diamond star stolen from Mrs. nigginson Walworth, a well known society woman, a few weeks ago. He saw a couple of my men com ing In and suspected that they were after him. If caught with the star In his possession, be was lost. So he slipped It Into the first convenient place, your pocket. "Meanwhile the other thief had lift ed your little bag of money. Seeing my men, the two thieves hurried out, but were arrested on the sidewalk. We held them for several days, but finally had to let them go for lack of evidence. You know what followed. Ah. here Is Mrs. Walworth to claim her property!" A very elegant personage entered the room as these words were spoken. She expressed the greatest joy at the re covery of her pretty trinkets, with which she soon departed. " Stafford took the other one and carried it borne to his wife, who wept over it. Two days later she shook ber hus band's already overstrained nerves with the statement that she had left the star In a jeweler's establishment to have one of the settings tightened. "I asked him just for fun, you know how much "it was worth," said she. "and after examining the stones care fully he told me about $2,000. Did you pay all that for it. you dear old thing?" "Not quite," replied Stafford, blush ing. Here was a terrible situation. Evi dently Mrs. Iligginson Walworth bad ! taken the wrong star from police head- quarters. Remembering that she bad had her choice, Stafford was almost tempted to say nothing, but his bonj esty triumphed, and be wrote a frank letter to her at ber country place at Lenox. j The reply, by telegraph, was astound- tng: "Must be some mistake. Have had diamonds examined by expert, and they are genuine." Then there were two stars of real diamonds! Utterly Impossible! In a maze of mystification Stafford went to see the jeweler who was repairing the star for Mrs. Stafford. When the law yer had explained his errand, the man of jewels winked. She told me It was a Christmas present from ber husband," said be. Do I look like one who would get bis fellow man into trouble? No, sir; I'm married myself." Look here!" cried Stafford. "This star is making life too thrilling for me. I do nothing but fly from one person to another, confessing my shame. It's got to stop. Will. yon replace that paste with genuine diamonds and take my note" for 00 days?" I will." replied the Jeweler prompt ly. And thus it happened that Mrs. Staf- rora s ennstmas star was made as good as its twin in this queer con stellation. Interminable Straggle.
