A DEAL IN DIAMONDS
The True Story of an Ingenious
Swindle In London.
A CLEVERLY WORKED GAME.
It Netted an Impecunious Russian No
bleman a Thousand Pounds Sterling.
The Easy Manner In Which Count
Sacha Got Something For Nothing.
Count Sacha Roubletsky was on Lis
beam otitis in London. To the world
he was still a dashing .voung noble
man. son of an liumousely wealthy
Russian prince, but In point of fact
he was financially at his last gasp.
lie wanted a thousand or so for
nothing. That was the problem he de
bated as he sat In Ills lodglug smoking
cigarette after cigarette. At last he
rose with :i satisfied smile. Next morn
ing Count Sacha called on Messrs.
Sparkle & Shine, the well known Bond
street jewelers, lie explained who he
was and that he had come to select
some jewelry for his sweetheart
From the glittering tray he selected
a beautiful stone, price ?500. lie then
explained that, his remittances being
delay I'd, he was not In a posltiou to
complete the purchase at the moment,
and. In a n j case, he wished Urst to
submit the stone to his sweetheart's
approval.
He added suavely that as he was un
known to Messrs. Sparkle Shine he
could not expect them to part with the
gem without making luqulrles, but
they were at liberty to apply to the
Husslau embassy for any information
they desired concerning him. He
would return the following day and,
everything being satisfactory, take the
diamond.
To this the Jewelers agreed and. In
quiring at the Russian embassy, were |
Informed that Count Sacha was un
questionably the sou of a wealthy
prince and that they would probably
be safe In giving him credit for even
more than the amount mentioned.
They dl.l not know at the embassy
that Sacha had been disowned by his
father, and they were agreeable to the
count's own suggestion that a member
of the embassy should attend at the
Jeweler's next day to Identify him.
This was done, and Count Sacha re
ceived the diamond. The same day
he called at a big pawnbroker's aud,
mentioning airily that ho was In tem
porary difficulties. pledged the diamond
for the small sum of ?50.
The next day found Count Sacha
again at Messrs. Sparkle & Shiue's.
His sweetheart, he said, was enchant
ed with the diamond, but nothing
would satisfy her now but that she
should have another diamond abso
lutely matching the tlrst.
The jewelers explained that to match
such a stone would be a matter of
great difficulty and the price of the
second gem would lie euortuously In
creased? In short, for such a pair of
twin diamonds they would have to
charge ?0.000. Count Sacha shrugged
his shoulders. The price was stiff, but
ho could deny his sweetheart nothing.
Would Messrs. Sparkle & Shine please j
at once set about procuring the second
diamond?
The Jewelers, being unable to match
the diamond themselves, wrote to the
leading dealers and pawnbrokers de
scribing the stone they wanted and
Intimating that they were prepared to
go as far as ?2,000 for a perfect sped- j
men. Among those they wrote to was ;
the pawnbroker with whom Count Sa
cha had pledged the original diamond,
which was Just what that Ingenious j
rascal expected.
A few days later Count Sacha called
at the pawnbroker's to redeem his dia
mond. The pawnbroker had had
Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's letter, and.
remembering the beautiful diamond
pledged with him a day or two before,
he had examined It aud fouud that It
met all of Sparkle & Shine's require
ments.
The count redeemed the stone, and
then the pawnbroker Inquired whether
by any chance ho would care to sell It.
Oh. no! It was a family heirloom.
Uls customer would not dream of part
That was a pity, said the pawnbro
ker. He had chanced to show the dia
mond to his wife, and she had taken a
violent fancy to it? so much so that
he was prepared to give a fancy price.
He offered ?S00.
Count Sacha laughed and shook his
head. One thousand pouuds? Ob, not
He really did uot want to sell it. An
offer of ?1.1>00. however, made him hes
itate. At last, after prolonged chaffer
ing. Count Sacha passed back the dia
mond to the pawnbroker aud received
?1,500 in exchange. Once outside ho
Jumped Into a cab aud drove as fast
as ho could to Messrs. Sparkle &
Shine's.
Arrived there, he explalucd. with
many regrets, that his sweetheart had
changed her mind. She no longer
wanted the second diamond. Had the
Jewelers yot found It? Xo? Ah, that
was well! Still, he feared he had put
Jhem to much trouble. However, he
was glad to say his remittances had
arrived aud he had now much pleas
ure in handing over ?500 In payment
for the original diamond, which his
sweetheart had decided to keep.
One thousand pounds to the good.
Count Sacha left the shop, having
"brought off" a most Ingenious swin
dle. Yet can any one say wbare he
came within reach of the law?? Pear

It Is a question which causes a moth
er the more worry? a boy so sick
that he Is good or so thoroughly well
that he Is bad.
FRENCH MARRIAGES.
All Probable Future Event* Arranged
For In Advane?.
On the appointed evening I arrlveC
at the given time, and cLfter an ex
cellent dinner, at which all members
of both famlllea were present, we re
paired to the great drawing room,
where the chairs had been arranged In
h semicircle about two small, round
tables. Presently two grave old gen
tlemen, the family notaries, who had
not been seen to smile during the
whole dinner, took their seats in front
of the tables, and whea we weo> aH
assembled the elder commenced to
rend a long memoir, which he an
nounced he had complied with the help
of his colleague. Then, to my otter
amazement, ho began to Mm# all the
possessions of the future bride and
bridegroom? so many bond* and cnort- 1
gages, so many bouses, farms, wood
lands, prairies, articles of personal
adornment, furniture and Jewels; the
ways In which they might be used or
disposed of, what would happen in
case no children were born of the I
marriage. In case of death of one or
the other of the pai.tes. In fcet, all j
the misfortunes, all the most terrible
and saddest events, had been foreseen,
and cold chills began running down
my back as 1 heard each new case
meutloucd. I was indlguant I posi
tively revolted. Why were miserable
questions of business allowed to fore
shadow the charming union of these ;
two young people, who had known and
loved each other since childhood and
whose true and pure afTectlon was in
nocent of all monetary interests? Coald
not all have been spared them?
The next day I frankly opened my i
heart to Jeanne and her mother, ex
plaining the sensations I had experi
enced the previous evening and lay
ing that In my country, when two per- ;
sous were about to marry, as long as
there was love on both sides and the
uiau was able to support his wife all
such questions were usually left undis
cussed.
They both listened to me somewhat
astonished, and then Mme. d? R ,
whose great good sense has always j
convinced me, replied smilingly:
"But, my dear, for us marriage is
not only the Joining of two young and
loving hearts. We go further and con
sider the generations to come, the
founding of a new family? a home.
As every one knows, the flrst years :
are often the most difficult, and we ,
therefore tako precautions to smooth j
the paths of our children by settling
in their presenco all business matters,
once and forever, and arranging things
so that the new life may develop un
der the best of circumstances."? Bcrlb- j

A Story Illustrating the ef
th? CornUhman.
Your Cornlshman can be very "set"
and stubborn. HI* determination ? f
spirit Is more remarkable than admira
ble at times, though It may be amus
ing.
Mr. Hook, the late royal academician,
was once, says Mr. W. H. Hudson In
bis book on the "Land's End." on the
sands at Whlteoand bay, working at a
marine picture, when two natives came
up and planted themselves Just behind
him. There was nothing the artist
hated' more than to be watched by
strangers orer his shoulders In this
way. and pretty soon he wheeled
around on them and angrily asked
them how long they were goto# to
stand there.
His manner served to arouse their
spirit, and thvY replied brnsQuelj that ,
they were goluiy to stay as long as they j
thought proper.
He Insisted on knowing lust bow i
long they were going to stay there to j
his annoyance, and by and by. after ,
some more loud and angry discussion,
one of them Incautiously declared they
would stand at that very spot for an 1
hour.
"Do you mean that?" shouted Hook,
pulling out his watch.
Yes, they returned, they would not
stir one Inch from that spot for an 1
hour.
"Very well," ho said and polled up
bis easel; then, marching off to a dis
tance of thirty yards, he set It up
again and resumed his t ainting.
And there, within tLirty yards of
his back, the two men stood for one
hour and a quarter, for, as they did
not have a watch, they were afraid of
going away before the hour had ex
pired. Then they marched off.
Franklin a* a 8wlmm?r.
In 1720 Benjamin Franklin was
working as a printer at Watts', near
Lincoln Inn Fields, and taught two
shopmates to swim "at twice going
| Into the river." With them and some
of tbelr friends from the country he
paid a visit by water to Chelsea, and
"In our return," he recorded, '"at the
request of the company, whose enrt
oslty Wygate had excited, I stripped]
:md leaped Into the river and swam
from near Chelsea to Blacfcfrlare, per
forming on the way many feats of !
activity, both upon and under the
water, that surprised and pleased
those to whom they were novelties."? ;
