OUR SHORT STORY. r.. THE GREAT BLACK DIAMOND. I was m Cairo when I first heard the story of the Great Black Diamond, which was told .1 me by a swarthy, chubby fakir who. strode into my presence on a wooden stump as I sat in my ^doorway looking out over the Nile at sunset. I was an attentive listener. He robbed his fat, greasy hands together when he talked, and when he broke out impetuously— "The Black Diamond'! Yoa. could buy the whole of Cairo with it. By Allah, you could!" his black, dog-like eyes glittered. and he thumped his wooden stump on the cobble- stones to lend force to his argument. "Still," I returned, "my friend, that would I not be much. Cairo? What is it but a nest of starving mongrels that eat up what they have to-day and sleep out the morrow?" He threw up his hands with a. contemptuous air. "Oh, .it would do that. maybe; den maybe it wouldn't. But den how would yon like to own even Cairo, eh ?" I smiled blandly and pulled down the brim of my hat. "Y ou force your point well; give us more of your story. I will listen." He paused, looked up and down the little street, then glanced over my shoulder into the room beyond. "I will tell you. You have heard of the Mines of Solomon?'' I answered in the affirmative. "But you have not heard of the Mines of Cleopatra, the great Egyptian queen, and her black diamond, whk-h she wore and glittered like a monster's eye on her breast, and the one which Anthony held between his eyes and sa:d that it could buy all the souls of Ro^ne. Well, out in the heart of this mighty desert tha.t surrounds us there is a mountain. It stands alone, as a sentinel guarding a vast w::ste. In its granite depths lies the tomb of Cieopatra and the Great Black Diamond. It was buried with her ages and ages ago. Do you believe a stranger?" I shook my head. It was impossible. "So," lie said, "I thought as much. But when I show you the chart of the secret mines and the tomb, what den?" And, running his left hand up his right sleeve, be produced a yellow parchment-like roll, brown with age. Instantly I recognised it as being an ancient document. My long study of Egyptian his- tory enabled me to identify its nature imme- diately. and, springing to my feet, I ex- claimed "Where did you get that? Know you what it reads?'' It was his time to smile blandly, and, turn- ing on me, said: "I. your lordship, am but an humble boats- man on the Nile: but it so behoves the Great Allah tha.t I. Ishmet, sbonld find and possess in after ages what the Queen Cleopatra has left. At first I was ignorant of its meaning, but nnw-he it Allah's will again—I know." I laughed. "Then, if you are holder of such a won- derful secret, why do you come to a stranger to extol it? You. are either a, fool or a, fakir. Ma foi! I know not which." "Pardon, I am neither. I pass your door. I see you are a stranger, a foreigner, yee. Yon smoke your pipe and look the grand signor, yes. But the God Mammon ees a good friend of yours; you take money every time it comes your way. It is English. Now, I say to myself-This man is a stranger; he will not tell.secrets in a etrange laud; he looks for money; he ees in for all he can get. It ces English—yes. I will tell him my secret. He will buy the mules, and we will travel together, and when we find the treasure he buys my part and takes the treasure away. You are rich; you can do dat. But no one of my own country can, save the rieh and the mighty. And they would seize it-yes, and Ishinet would hab nothing." And, striking a, comic attitude of deep woe, my friend with the wonderful secret and the wooden stump made a dramatic pause. "You put up a wonderful story," I answered. "How far is the mountain from here?" "Four days' ride, signor. if we travel at night when it is oool. It is near the ancient site of the city of Acenipoli, built in an oasis where the Queen Cleopatra dwelt in the season of the hot suns." At the mention of the city of Accnipoli I was in a flutter. It was a. place which I had desired to visit above all other places, and the result was that before the rise of the sun on the next day we had entered the desert on our journey, fully equipped for a long stay. We travelled mostly at nights, and on the morning of the fourth day we came in sight of the solitary mountain in the Bakarah plateau. Wte lost no time in beginning our search along the ragged sides of the mountain for the mouth of the cavern, which the chart marked out as being the passage that would lead us to the secret vaults hewn out of the granite heart of the mountain. But it WM not till high noon, after a long two hours' weary search, that Ishmet, the fakir, set up the hue and cry far below me that he had discovered the cavern's mouth. A great boulder had been placed over it, but. there was an opei^ng left, to one side of the Tock large enough to enable a man's body to pass through. And, thrusting a. lantern through the crevice, I peered below, and, to my sur- prise, I beheld not more than ten feet below a flight of steps hew'h out of the living rock. The fakir was jubilant, and, offering to lead the way. he let himself down the hole and dropped. I followed. and a moment later a hoarse moan broke on our ears. It was the sound of the wind passing down the cavern. Then with our lanterns held out before us we followed the passage at a steep incline. We kept up this steady pace for some time, until we were suddenly stopped by a wall of granite. From all appearances it looked as if we had come to the end of our journey. But my companion again eet cp the hue and cry that we had come to our goal. "Look!' he gaasped. "Look, man! By Allah, the vaults are above us!" I looked and saw an opening in the ceiling over us. And. bidding the fakir to steady himself, I mounted his shoulders and clam- bered through the aperture, drawing the lantern after me, and found myself on my fenees before a giVnt being of ferocious aspect with raised hatchet in one of his big hands. The first thing I thought of was to let out a yell of warning, but in throwing up my arms in my fright I cast the yellow reflections of the lantern full on the terrible figure before me, and saw tbrt it was a thing of stone, nothing more. And, calling to the Arab to throw up his coil of rope, I held fast to one end of it while the fellow with smothered groans scrambled up like an overgrown monkey. So intensely dark was it that our lights made but a dim impression in the thick, heavy, blackness about us. And we found it necessary to feel our way pa.rt of the time and to drag ourselves on all fours. And iu this way I happened to an accident by mddeniyTxhmgmg my bands fist downward into a. bole which proved to be about foar feet-deep. 1 called for help, then I noticed I was on my knees before another figure, and holding the light on a level with my faca learned the fact that I was staring in thtf shrivelled one of a mummy. I had bruised my shins and lay staring speechlessly at the face near me, with its empty eye sockets and its grinning teeth and the glittering objects* that rested on its forehead. "Ishmet," I cried, "what is this?" Then I knew. It was the Great Black Diamond. And. I tore it from the shrunken forehead and held it under the light to examine it. It was a. beau- tifully cut stone, and much larger, I saw at a glance, than the Great Mogul—possibly more than 300 carats in weight. And engraved upon: the flat side of it was the head of Cleopatra* a beautiful piece of workmanship. The fakir was again jubilant, and, plucking me by the sleeve, he began to hurry me out of the vault. "It is not good," he gasped, with chattering teeth, "to tarry with the dead. Let us begone By Allah! that staring thing will haunt dreams." And, dragging me along with him, we soon found ourselves breathing fresh air again. On reaching Cairo safely I gave Ishmet £5OIJ in English gold and parted with him—to see him no more. And on the same day I made preparations to cross over to Europe with my precious burden. It was then that I found out that I had been the victim of fraud, a-ad I woke to realise the bitter truth. But I had not been the only one who had suffered in the game, and, finding a. little consolation in that, I kept my sfecret to myself. Ishmet. the fakir, was a jeweller by trade, and was famous for his wonderful achieve- ments in the art of making fake diamonds, swindling, and crime. And J, as were others, was one of his victims. During the past year lie had guided more than a dozen adventurers to the lonely jnounlain in the Bakarah plateau, and eavh one, as I, had the honour of staring at the shrivelled countenance of Cleopatra, and the exclusive right to rob that notable lady of the Great Black Diajnond.

A Tall Story. Horace Greeley, the most famous of Ameri* ca,1 journalists, was notorious as producing the most absolutely undecipherable hand- writing that any man has been known to put on paper. In the "New York Tribune" Offioe most of his copy was set by one man. named Larkway, who boasted that be oonld read Greeley's copy at three yards with one eye shut. He was so proud of his ability in this respect that the whole composing staff longed to humble him. It so happened that two young roosters were kept in the office, where tbey waxed fat on printer's ink and paste; but their tempers did not improve, for they took to fighting Deadly. One day one of the birds chanced to step on an ink roller, and then over a sheet of paper, and a great light broke on the fore- man compositor's mind. The next evening he and some fellow-con- apfrators came in early, covered over the floor with sheets of Greeley's usual writing paper, inked the birds' feet. and set them to fight. The ink wiA renewed every few minutes, and in half an hour every sheet was covered with hieroglyphics. Then the foreman gathered up the pagee. numbered them, and scrawled at head on the first one, "The Plain Duty Or Congress," in imitation of Greeley's hand, then the sheets were left. in Lark tray's neigh- bourhood. He came in, took the copy, slammed it down on his case, and picked up his stick. Every man in the room held his sides, but. by the Goddess of Truth, Larkway began to set itl At the end of the second line he began to look a little troubled, and we thought our moment, of victory was come; but he only swore a little, re-fillcd his pipe. picked up hia stick, and went on again until he got almost to the bottom of the last page. Here he struck at a place where one of the rooeters had slapped down the edge of his wing, also inky. Larkway studied over it for a long time, and then he said to the foreman, "Darn it. the best of us get hung up on a word once in ar- while. What's that, down there?" "Don't ask me." said the foreman. "You know I can't read the stuff. Go down and ask the old man himself." Larkway shuffled out, went into the chief's room, and said, in a low tone: "Mr. Greeley, I'm stuck. What is this word?" Greeley snatched the sheet from hit hand impatiently, studied it a moment, and then scpueaked in his highest voice: "'Uncon- stitutional,' sir. Great Jehosophat! it seems to me sometimes as if this office was full of pesky college graduates, and after I've given the janitor strict orders not to allow one oil 'em in the building!"

ÆSTH ETIC "My de&r, don't you intend to invite Yr. and Mrs. Green to your party?" asked Mft Biller. "Certainly not." "Why not, my dear? They are good friends of ours." "What if they are? I am going to invite Mr. and Mrs. Brown." "Well, can't you invite the Greens as well?08r "Why, John Biller, you shock me with yonc taste. Brown and Green in my parlour to- gether! Why, next you'll be asking me to wear blue and yellow. I declare you men have no idea whatever of harmony."

A BAD HEADACHE. An English lady who visited America many years ago used to tell the following story:- On the voyage she was one day shocked by seeing a ship's officer knock down one of tha crew who was inclined to mutiny. So much did the sight affect her that she retired to belt cabin, and did not again ajfbear on deck until land was sighted. Approaching him. she asked, with deep sympathy: "How is your head, now?" "Weet-and-by-nor', ma'am," was the answer.

REPAID, WITH INTEREST. A Germa-n and a Frenchman sat opposita each other at a table d'hote at a Swiss hotel. "You are a Frenchman, I suppose?" in- quired the German at the commencement of the meal. "Yes," was the reply; "but how did yon manage to Bed that out?" "Because -on eat so much bread." said tha German. There was a long pause. When the dinner was over, the Frenchman in hia turn questioned his vis-avis: "You area German, I presume?" "To be qpre; but tell me, pray, how yoof made that discovery." "Because you ate so much of everything wa-s the dry resort.

FAIR EXCHANGE. An eccentric old gentleman died, and left large sums of money to three distant young relatives, with the proviso that each of them should deposit £ 5 in his coffin immediately before the interment. A few days afterwards the three heirs met and began to talk about the way in which they had discharged their obligations to the deceased. Said the first: "I simply dropped a £S nota into the coffin." "And I five 11 pieces," observed the second. "I did not happen to have any ready moneg about me," said the third; "I therefore drew a cheque for JBIS on my bank, which I plaoe<f in the coffin, and took out, the ..£1() in «v
