WORE THE DIAMOND IN HIS LEO.
A Btory ef the Way the Orion? atone Waa
Taken From Paralft to Ratal.
Onn Fox, a dealer in dinmnuils on
Fonrth Krwt, ha a story nhout.the fit
ment Orloff diamond, nnmcd after
Oonnt Orloff, the flrat European who
bought it Fox says: "It wm originally
the eye of an idol in Trichinopoli. It
was stolon, according to the accepted
aoeoont by a Frenchman, who escaped
with it to Pernio, where he Hold it for
the equivalent in our money of t"000
to a Jewish merchant
"The Jowish merchant sold it to an
Armenian named Bhafras, who bad
traveled in Russia and conceived the
idea of talcing the diamond to that
country and selling it to the Kmpreas
Catherine for a great ram. Shafras paid
him 60,000 for it
"Having secured the stone, the next
question with Bhafras was how to get it
to Russia, or rather how to conceal it
when he was searched by robbers, as he
was are to bo on the road. The journey
was along and perilous one, and thieves
abounded everywhere. Shafras thought
of swallowing tho stono when he should
be taken by the robbers, but was obliged
to give that plan up, as the diamond
was too large to swallow.
"He began to feel ho had a white ele
phant on his hands when a thought oc
curred to him. Ho procured a sharp
lance, mado a cut in the fleshy part of
his loft leg and thrust the diamond into
tho wound. Ho sewed tip the cut with
a needle and a silver wire. It healed,
leaving the diamond imbedded fast in
the leg, quite out of sight
"Then he started for Russia. On tho
way he was seized by robbers again and
again and was thoroughly searched.
Being an Armenian and suspected of
going to Russia to trade, the thieves
marveled greatly nt finding nothing of
value upon his person.
"He arrived in Russia at last, and,
after extracting his diamond, visited
the empress. Ho was willing to sell it
for about $180,000, but the empress had
not so large an amount in cash for the
purchaso, and Shafras preferred to go
on to Amsterdam, the seat of the dia
mond cutting industry, whore ho had
the stone polished.
"Here Count Orloff, an extremely
wealthy Russian, saw the diamond and
was filled with a determination to se
cure it for tho Russian crown. Ho did
seoo.ro it, but Shafras exacted from the
Russian government $400,000, an an
nuity of $20,000 and a title of nobility.
He died a millionaire.
"The Orloff diamond weighs 106
carats and is about the sizo of a pi
geon's egg. It is smaller than tho Kohi
noor, in the possession of the English
queen, which is supposed to be worth
$3,750,000. "Cincinnati Enquirer.

"How does it come that you havored,
White and blue billiard balls?" naked

keeps tho Brant Honse at Sloop Creek.
'"Tis kinder extraordinary, ain't it?"
said Rufo. "But somehow or another
extraordinary things happen down here.
Yon wouldn't believe it if I told you
that I had them balls nfnrn 1 had tho
table. I bought tho table' for $40 from
Burt Greenleaf, and he won it nt araflln

Was celluloid, they wouldn't be here

position that they make cheap pool balls
of either. Just what they nro I ain't
prepared to sny, and I 'spect that the
nature of tho material these were made
from is changed from what it was at
first.
"I'll tell you how I come by 'em, and
yon'll learn what extraordinary things
can hnppen down hen-aways. A year
ego tho 13th of June there was a party
of Brooklyn fellows down hero, and
they set out for a good time. They
fetched cards and chips with them and
'lowed to play poker until 4 o'clock in
the morning and then go fishing. I sot
up with them and took a hand in the
game. We were setting at that round
table, and it was pushed over in the cor
ner between them windows. 'Long
about 13 o'clock I was mixing drinks
for the crowd, when I heard thunder and
muttcrin and see flashes of lightning.
I told them fellows they'd better move
away from the windows, but they
laughed at me.
"One fellow had been winning right
straight along. Ho had a big pile of
chips in front of him, and they was in
his way. So he began stacking them up
according to color and laid 86 of each
kind in stacks side by side on the win
dow sill. Meanwhile tho storm broke
and the lightning played bob around
the house. The party got kinder scared
and Jumped up promptly when I pro
posed to all to go to the bar and have a
drink. I was just setting out the glasses
when there was a swish of lightning
that turned the whole air blue. I didn't
hear any thunder, but I see big bulls of
fire dancing round the room, and one
of them hit mo right on tho breast and
knocked me down behind the bar. Ev
ery man in the room was hit plumb in
tho gizzard with a ball of fire and
knocked flat I don't know how long it
was before we all come to and took our
drinks, but I do know that the storm
had passed. I looked round and, was
surprised to find that nothing had been
hurt After the follows all took their
drinks they wanted to play poker again
and started for the table. There the fel
low that bad won most of the chips put
up a holler about them. He said some
body bad got 'em.
"I didn't b'lieve thnt possible, and I
told him that the lightning bad prob
ably knocked them oflen tho window
Bill. Then ho looked on the floor under
the table and said, 'I don't see no chips,
but here's a billiard ball,' and he picked
up a red ball Now I never had a bil
liard ball in my house before, and 1
thought that lie was playing a trick on
me until one of the other fellows moved
his feet and rolled a white bull out on
the floor. I picked it up and found it
was hot A minute later Ike Hicks gavo
a whoop and held up a blue billiard
ball, saying it was the first he ever seen
in his life. Then it come to us all at
once that the lightning had struck them
poker chips and melted 'em into solid
balls. P'raps they ain't quite as regular
as some, but they answer all our pur
poses." Now York Sun.
