THE STORY OF MY DIAMONDS.
On the '.* th of May, 1870, I arrived in
Anstin, Texa, with thirteen diamonds
in my possession, the aggregate valne
of which was fnlly SIOO,OOO. They
had been aent to a certain party in New
York who had agreed to carry them to
San Antonio, Texan, where the pur
chaser, a wealthy merchant and the
owner of several ranches, lived. They
were intended as a present to his only
daughter on her birthday, the 10th of
May. Every probable provision had
been made to get them to the Lone \
Star State several days in advance of
tho "auspicious occasion," which was
meant to be such a memorable one in
the life of the dark-eyed beauty of the
romantic old town iu which she was
born and reared. Tho first hitch oc
curred in New York, immediately after
the diamonds came into the hands of
Fred Barrett, the consin of Miss Bar
rett, and who it was arranged was to
deliver them in person io the father.
On the very day Fred Barrett opened
the wonderful gem* to feast his eyes on
their beauty he was taken violently ill.
As he was an athletic, vigorous man,
with no bad habits, he and his friends
supposed ho would be himself in a
brief while, but he showed no improve
ment for several days and finally wnt
for me.
'•The doctor says I have bogun to |
mend, but that it will be impossible for
me to leave my room under ten day*. 1
According to the original plan I would
have had ample time to reach uncle's be
fore the 10th, but if those diamonds do '
not start to-morrow they will be too late
for the interesting ceremony and uncle
would rather lose a fortune than miss
such a pleasure, on which iiis heart
is set."
"Why not send them by express? It
is quite safe—that is, a* safe a* any
thing can Ik> in this world."
"I have thought of all that, but the
imperative order from uncle was that
under no circumstances should the
diamonds go by pnblio conveyance.
Yon know there have been many train
and stage robberies in the West and
Bouthwest lately, and these jewels
would bo too tempting a morsel for
some of those gentry. The long and
short of it is, I want you to take charge
of and deliver them to uncle himself, |
You have been over the route several
times and know the country more
thoroughly than 1 do. To be brief, I
accepted the proposal, and as I stated
at tho beginning I reached the capital
of Texas on the afternoon of the tfth of
May in the centennial year.
I am naturally cool and free from
nervousness, but there was excuse for
oonsiderablu w.wriment on my part.
Mr. Barrett bad been notified by tele
graph that a visitor would reach his
house on the night of the 10th, which
would bo in time for the party, but
when tho preceding evening found the
measeng r in Austin, that messenger
felt it was cutting things altogether too
fine for his comfort. It is foil fifty
miles from the Texan capital to Baa
Antonio, and the stage which left the
former eity early in the morning ra*
quired the entire day to make the jour
ney. The line had been established
many years, and there were throe
ohangon of teams on the route, four
horscn being always hi toll od to the
heavy but powerful ooacb, which vory
rarely indeed failed to rattle into Han
Antonio early in the evening. With
the lato completion of the railroad the
ntage company linn found ita oooupution
gone.
It would have been morn pleasant to
mo had another twenty-four hours boon
at my command, but it was not that which
caneed so much uneasiness aa the con
viction that amounted to an absolute
certainty that two men were following
me. How in tlio name of tho seven
wonders they learned or even Buspected
that 1 had such valuable property in
my custody passes my (Comprehension.
Tho utmost socroey was used in Now
York, and tho flery carbon points wore
carefully wrapped up in a piece of
chamois skin, which was as securely
fastened to a small belt passing around
my waist, beneath my clothing, and
which was not to be removed uutil tho
ond of my journey was reached. A
person in my sitnation is naturally sus
picions, but I am sure I conducted my
self like tho majority of my lellow pas
sengers who were not supposed to bo
in tho possession of us much wealth as
myself. I kept a close watch on them,
but observed nothing to cause alarm
until aftor leaving Ht. Louis over tho
Iron Mountain road. I then became
so well satisfied that two sinister-look
ing and well-dressed men were shadow
ing me that I declined to retire to my
berth and sat up smoking most of the
time and wide-awake all the way to
Tcxarkana. At that dilapidated town
I mad- tho best effort I could originate
to throw the hounds off my trail. I
thought I had succeeded for a time,
but they turned up at Dallas, and when
I registered at tho Commercial hotel
their names ap|>eared under miue.
Long before this I had fully concludivl
that they had fixed on the road between
Austin and Han Antonio as the one
where I should part company with my
diamonds and most probably with my
life. Tho chances were so favorable on
that lonely route that they merelv kept
on my trail or rather in my company
from Ht. Louis to the capital. Tho sit
uation then was that I was due at a
certain point fifty miles away and with
in tw. nty-four hours, and that two men
were determined that my property
should never reach there.
After strongly securing the door of
my room that night *t the hotei I sat'
down to decide what shonid be done,
for there conld bo no mistaking the
fact that tho crisis was at hand. In
stead of being mentally tired and worn
ont from the continnal strain to which
I had bee n subjected, I never was more
prepared for intense thought in all my
life. I tipped my chair against the
door, sitting with my hand on my
loaded revolver, in which position I j
know it would be impossible to *ur-,
prise mo, and still thinking and turn
ing over all sorts of plans, I finally j
dropped asleep and did not open my
eyes until daylight However, when I
roused tip and looked around mo I had
fixed upon a line of action. Whether
it wonld take me throngh or not re- '
maine l to be seen, bnt I did not h<wi
tate to follow ont the lino I had laid
ont for myself.
The next morning when the stage,
with the fonr vigorous horses halted in
front of tho hotel, tho landlord went
ont and told the driver that I who
had engaged a seat on the ontaido
was so ill I wonld not be able to
go with them for several days. I was
stealthily watching proceedings from
ths npper window, and when the heavy
vebiolc lumbered off it took with it
the two men who were following me
for the purpose of robbery. My belief
was that they would leave the stage at
some point on the road and wait until
it bronght me along, when the robbery
would take place. There were quite a
number of passengers and I had med
itated taking several of them into my
confidence, bnt as they were strangers,
perhaps it was well that I refrained.
An hour later I sauntered down Aus
tin avenue and came upon an open
wagon, in whioh a farmer was climbing,
as if abont to start homeward. As he
gathered the lines in hand I asked him
whero he lived.
"At New Brannfels—a long ways
from here," he answered in a decided
German acoent, while he politely pansed
to see whether I had any more ques
tions to ask.
New Braunfols is a German settle
meat somewhat more than half the dis
tance to Ban Antonio, and was general
ly reached by the stage about the
middle of the afternoon.
" Are you about to go home?"
Ho replied that he was.
" I'll give you ten dollars to allow
me to ride with you."
He sturdily refused to accept any
thing, but aaid I was welcome, though
there would be little enjoyment in the
trip, as his wagon waa without springs
and be expected to drive quite rapidly.
This suited mo, however, and I took
my seat beside him. He had some
more business after I had placed my
valise inside, and we were some two
hours behind the stage when ire drove
over the high bridge whioh span* the
Colorado nnd struck off through the
rich lands of Bonthwostcrn Texas.
I became convinced from the style
of tlio team behind which I was riding
that we would pass the stago before
reaching New Brannfels, and aa I was
sure my German friend was an lioneat
fellow 1 mado a confidant of him and
told him of my dilemma. I had in my
possession aoino very valnable jewelry,
and thero were two men in the stage
ahoad who had planned to rob mo. He
naturally osknd how that could ho
done, when thero were over a dozen
passengers besides, who were doubt
less nrmed, whilo 1 was able to do
something in my own defense.
" 1 seo," ho answered; " they have an
understanding with the James boys,
who will atop the stage some where along
the road."
"The dickens!" I exclaimed, "arethe |
James boys in Texas?"
" 1 saw them ride through New
Brannfels last week and we shall meot
them somewhero along the road."
This was rather disquieting informa
tion, hut I could only make the host ot
it. I drew from my valise an old coat
and damaged hat which I donned. In
the hat was some 'frowsy yellow hair
which I " banged " abont my forehead
and cars, so that my German friond
broke out laughing at my changed ap
pearance.
"Now," said I. " Let mo hold the
reins a ltd you can keep the team going.
If I am driving less attention.will be at
tracted to me."
The accommodating fellow complied
at once, and striking the spirited horses
a sharp blow we rattled off over the
country at a lively gait. I was con"
siderably disturbed, for I could feel no
assurance that the not over brilliant
stratagem of mine hail thrown my
dreaded acquaintances off the scent. At
the first stopping place, where the con- ,
veyance changed horses, we were leu*
than an hour behind, so wo expected to
gain sight of it within a short time.
And sure enough we did. Gnly a few
miles away we saw the stage standing
still on the top of a hill, as if the driver
was giving his horses a rest after the
heavy pull. There were eighteen pas
sengers, us we learned, so that the fcfur
animals had an unusually heavy load. '
Bo we pushed steadily up the long in
cline nntil within a hundred feet of I
the motionless stago, when my German
friend exclaimed:
"Great thunder ! That's Jesse James I"
There was one medinm-sized man sit
ting on a small Texan pony, with his
Winchester rifle cocked and pointed
toward tho stage. On the other side
was another robber standing close to
the vehicle with a cocked revolver in
each hand, while a third wan superin
tending the spoliation of the passen
gers, who were paaning over witches,
purse* and valuable* with the alacrity
always displayed on aneh occasion*.
I wan ao startled by the sight that I
drew out to hurry by when Jesse James
called to me with a frightful oath to
•top where I was and wait till the pic
nic was over. It is needless to say I
complied and was an absorbed spec
tator of the robbery. The passengers
joked and Ungbed and tried to hide
their possessions i. all sorts of places.
The James Iwys indulged in a few
coarse oaths, bnt ofTqpd no violence
and were not very exacting in their
demands. They took the gold watches
diamond rings and such money as was
passed out to them, bnt m passenger
was entirely " cleaned out."
When they were through it was plain
to me they were disappointed, and they
galloped away, firing their pistols over
their heads, quickly vanishing in the
metquit bush. We passed the stage
and arrived at New Braunfels an hour
ahead. There I donned my usual
clothing, compelled my German friend
to accept a gratuity and waited for the
stage.
It was rare enjoyment to me when the
latter drove np and I entered to study
the expression of the two men who had
shadowed me all the way from Bt.
Louis and had doubtless arranged the
robbery for the purpose of making sure
of the diamonds I carried with me.
They never hoard, and unless they
oomc across this sketch, they will never
know how it was that the man who car
ried this concentrated wealth and whom
they left ill in Austin on the tonth of
May, 1876, stood on the porch of the
hotel of New Braunfels, on the after
noon of the same day, when the stage
drove up and j onrneyod with them to
Han Antonio, where the property was
safely placed in the hands of the owner
and by bim presented to his daughter
that same evening,
