The eyes of A bel Harris were riveted upon a diamond. There was nothing singular in this, for Mr. Harris had been a dealer in diamonds for many years, and was the owner of a larger number of costly gems than any other man or woman in the city of New York. And yet there was something singular in the dealers study, for his attention was far more taken up with the setting of the diamond than with the jewel itself. Indeed so intent was he upon the mere environment of the gem that he could not have told whether the diamond was carbon or paste. Stranger still in a man in whose veins ran a crystal stream of the Brahmin blood of New England, he did not care. The solution of all these riddles will be clear to the most prosaic mind when told that the setting of the jewel was the neck of the well known danseuse. Mile. Judith.
