Acres of Diamonds
Well, right in the middle of the
1 fracas who should drop in at the
| Barnyard but my old Seminary
roommate, “Red” Clearwater of De-
posit, N.Y. Him that I hadn’t seen
for more than twenty-six years.
Mrs. Clearwater was along. They
have closed their summer hotel at
Lake Osego and were on their way
to Virginia in a station wagon to
pick up antiques.
Of course I didn't recognize
“Red.” Twenty years is a long
time. Once his hair was wavy red.
It’s thin and “dark brown now.
Mrs. Clearwater is a charming wo-
man and I am. sure has been a
fine helpmate. I'd never met her
before but I could tell her about
some of his old flames and an inter-
esting incident relating to one of
them.
walk to Pringle Hill Cemetery.
Funny how young folks pull for
a cemetery on such occasions, but
you'd hardly expect to find a proc-
tor or a professor in a cemetery
when you were out with a couple
of Seminary girls, so there’s where
we went. Red's gir] was a steady.
It was a crush, but she refused to
z| go for a walk, which was against
the rules, even in the afternoon,
without being accompanied by an-
other Seminary girl. She probably
figured it threw the preceptress off
the scent.
Her companion was a big horse,
six inches taller than I and 75
pounds heavier, but Red insisted
that I trail along to keep her oc-
cupied while he and his girl talked
over some serious matters such as
| why she had smiled at some other
guy at dinner or something of the
, sort.
At least two of us spent a very
pleasant afternoon reading inscrip-
tions on Pringle Hill grave stones.
How Red fared I've never learned,
but differences seemed to be patch-
ed up when they returned to the
Seminary for dinner that evening.
I gave a sigh of relief like a tug-
boat that had piloted in an ocean
liner when I saw my heroic date
swing into Swetland Hal] and her
place in the Seminary Dining Room,
I guess it was fun. We'd gotten
away with something. No one got
a demerit and certainly in my case
it wouldn't have been worth it.
But this is the point of the story.
After dinner a friend handed me
a note from the ocean liner. Some-
how, some way, she "had lost her
diamond on Pringle Hill. Would

I look for it?
After dark, Red and I treked up
past the coal] breakers
the acres we had covered during
the late afternoon. There, in the
gloomy cemetery beneath the
towering figures of Christ nailed on
wooden crosses we played the
beams of our flashlights; and there
at the base of an intriguing tomb-
stone, among hundreds, sparkling
in the grass, we found the diamond
