THE LOST JEWEL.
How 'did such a srreat roush
mouster as I am come to marry ;a
delicate li -tie daisy of a French girl
like Pearl Trillars? Well, it's quite
,a story. , . , 1 ' - -v .
I had jujst come home from a two
jviU Uruium u. MM.w
of Pon Natal, i All the diamonds
that ever glittered in the valley of
Sindbad the Sailor would not make
such a place as that endurable. I
hadn't any home taspsak of, and yet
J was homesick the whole time T was
,at Port Natal.,
At first I had no greatiuck to
speak of. The fields were crowded
as myself, and after four or five
: mouths I began to feel almost like
despairing. '
But I resolved to stay on, and it
was well that I did, for on Friday,
May 17, 1870, I found a great stone
thnt looked like a rough, dirt in
.Crusted pebble at first, but the sec-
oad glance told me it was a diamond
such as is found only once in years.
Silently I dropped it into my pock
et and strode cff homeward, slouch
ing listlessly along, as i always did.-
"Hello!" cried a wiry little Cape
Cod man. "Densley's 'played ouL
Why, Densley, it ain't noon yet by
the best chronometer in Boston."
"I don't care," said 1. "I am going
hanie."
''Pshaw! I thought you had more
pluck. Faint heart neer won big
diamond yet. Don't give it up, man."
But I went back to the colony,
wondering that they did not hear the
confused beating of my heart, which
seemed to fill the tropical silence
with a noise like a reveille.
When I was alone, I drew out the
great stone and feasted my eyes ot
its fair proportions. I danced I sang
in short. I had been seeking it a I
Sijore of years. I had found it at
last.
Weil, I said nothing of my discov
ery and came back to the States, with
the diamond in a little, leather sack
fltitohed ou the waist of the flannel
shirt I wore underneath the linen
one.
It seemed rather necessary that I
should civilize myself a little, so I
dropped into the first furnishing
store which lay in my way.
The young girl behind the coun
ter struck my eye pleasantly, as a
rm j - l
might have been done. She was tall
and slight, very pale, with great al
mond shaped eyes, a mouth like
scarlet coral, and an abundance of
dead black hair that seemed to weigh
her small head down with its heavy
duskiness.
1 1 was clumsy and did hot know
what I wanted. Peail Trillard did.
She told mefnlainlv what was neces
sary and what was not. So I bought
- my?outfit and paid for it and went

Pearl's black almond shaped orbs
still haunting me.
It was January, and a fire had just
been lighted on the hearth of the
xoom. I had engaged. .
I sat down in front of it when
supper was over ana took out my
pocketbook -to the inner compart-
;; jnent of which, since my arriyal in
port, 1. had , transterrea the little
chamois leather sack which held my
" fortune to have a look at the pre
cious stone. 4 . ,

For a minute or two it seemed, as
if i the whole room was in a whirl
around me My heart stopped puls

ly sickness stole through my whole
beingv ; t ',' c.
The diamond the diamond for
which I had toiled and striven aud

it was gone. . ; N .
I believe I was for a moment in
sane. I rose and staggered blindly
toward the pistol which I always
carried in the breast pocket of my
outer coat, with some vagu idea of
putting an end to my life which had
been such an uttr failure.
When there came a soft little
knock on the panels of the door, I
supposed I must Lave answered,
"Come in!" for the door was pushed
open, and Pearl Trillard stood there,
with a little boy her brother as 1
learned at her side.
