12 THE OMAHA DAILV nr.H : SATIMIDAY , .TITLY 17 , 1-81)7. - ) THE DIAMOIND DOG. | i i Hy ( iKOKCK GIUI 1 II II. tTTT TT T T TT TT TT TT TT You might go far afield before you fonnl two more querrly associated knights of In dustry than the Jew of Whltrthapcl and the Celestial of Singapore , who wore sitting together over a bottle of brandy In a little bark room behind a tin eoollr store In Old Do liters road , Klmbcrly. Into one tilpht in the early 'SOs. Yet It was no very uncommon thliiB here In this vortex of cramnnQlltan villainy Into which the mag- leal glitter of llic diamond , more fatal In Its fascination even than the glint of gold , had gaihiTcd together men of all colors ami creids from the remotest end of the earth. Something was evidently exercising the mind of the Jew very considerably , for his prominent eyes kept wandering restlessly about ttiu little mom , his lleshy , pendant under lip trembling every now und then with the movement of his heavy Jaw , hln fat. lavishly Jeweled fingers kept alter nately drumming on the dirty table and \\anderlng ulmlemly through his blaek and rather greasy locks. The Chinaman eat with his long-nailed fingers entwined on the lap of bin ample blouse , and looked at him placidly out of his bright , inward-slanting little eyes. Neither liail said anything for Home little time. Kueh was pondering a very 1m- porthnt problem In his own way. A shaggy long-hnired , disreputable. lookIng - Ing mongrel , whlih ( itemed ( o combine home half du/en varying strains In his nonde script Uncage , ncemcd to be doing the same thing na he l.iy on a frowzy sheepskin near the table , with Ills wickedly clever face between hlo paws , and every now ami then blinked up at his litatliin master as though wondtrlng whether ho had found any solu tion to the problem yet. "Huh no good , Lee , " half whispered the Jew , at length b taking the pause , ,111.1 bringing Ills fingers down from his hair to the table for something like the twentieth time , "the old plants will all be played out now [ hat this Infernal new law isli passed , The gniiivahs will be harder to git than ever , and look at the rishk llfteen years on th.u blathtid break-water. Just for being fourd with u few little klip * on you. The gnnu ain't going to be worth the candle any more , If we don't llnd ome new way of getting them out that the tees won't tumble to. It 'ml be worth a folune : to a man who eoul I lilt on a real bran new fake Just now , that It would , and If we can't git one the In dustry H going to be ruined , and that's all there l > h to It. " The C'lihianrin loolud at him stolidly while he was speaking , and then , with a broad , wooden Millie , which crinkled hn ! eyes up Into two little silts , he no.bled bin head after tin * fashion of one of his own Idols , and said neutrntloiu > ly and with the nlr of one who known what'he la talking about : "All light , Mls = a Lonefelt , no need muchee scratch-head over dat. Kalllr boy plenty dive , yet , ullee same mueliee searchce , no good. Plenty new fake , too. Uodgee tecnian easy all name's before. You hab no got go workte yet , Mlssa LoncfeH. " "If you've thought of a good new fake , one that'll work , mind , anil that the tecs aren't likely to get on to for a bit , I'm the man to go shares with you on It , and I'll make It pay yon well. Lee , I will , s'welp me You know me , Lee , and we've done business together before now. and I ve always tieatoi you fair and square , haven't I ? If It'o a likely lay It's worth twenty , no I'll make II fifty , there fifty down to let me' Into It , am ! the usual terms afterwards. That's gooc : enough , ain't it ? I can't speak no fairer than that , can I , I.oo , old pal ? " The Jew spoke eagerly , almost caressingly , to the yellow heathen whom he would have passeed by without a wink In Main street. There he was , Augustus Lowenfeldt , licensed diamond broker , stock and share dealer , and all the rest of It , a man with a reputation to lose , as reputations went then in Kimberley - berley , and with a future before him , but here In Lee t'lial'n back sitting room ho was just what the heathen was , neither Letter nor worse , nei 1. II. 1) . , a "fence , " as they .would have called him in his native Whl'.e- chapel. and like him a potential felon , and so tin re was no need for any overs'lined ! etiquette between them. Added to this he know that his "boys" must by this time be getting a very n'ce little collection of gems together for Km , and he felt a very natural anxiety about them now that this detestable new law ha.l about doubled both the legal power of search and the penalties for being found out. Lee dial's almond eyco wandered slowly from the dog to Ihe Jew and his head log-iii to wag again , but this time the other way , and after a little pause he said slowly end meditatively : "Fifty pound tlen per cent not good enough dlls time , Mlssa Lonofelt , not by big heap. I hab got thought here" and he tapped his shaven skull gently with one of his long nails "which make velly big chop tlen , twelve , maybe twenty thousand pounds alle same time , and no chance calcine. Him worth pay for. oh , Mlssa Lonofelt ? " "Ten thousand at a go mujbc twenty , " exclaimed the Jew , leaning forward with twitching lips and eyes all a-glltter. "What's your price , Loo. give It a name , llymebyo stBrteil off with Kreai , In Biul If I i'aii meet you , will , s'urlp nic You know I'vo nlwaya been ralr anil honor- fcblii with you. " "Me sell yon ono plecee Joggle live him died poumU.

" Mr I.owcnfeldt asked the question with an air of dlHRnatrd Itnllgtutlon , of which the plai-ld heathen took not the hlighUM ii'i'lro Ho altnply picked the cur up on Ur Inj. ttid raid lu u tone of calm and dlhiillied reproof : "Me no pullce leg by talkce Ix > nefell Dlti dOKKle tm velly , maybe but he woith heap money allre t > ame.

" Ur , Auguitutt LowcnfdJt did watch , a that , ! o. with ryp whirh licgan to mil somewhat wildly to and frjj befe tunny iniinuniH hail pjffc.i ] . for Lee dial's deft ntiKir.s had by tills time laid the thick phaggy < > kln of the dog open from the basp of the tirck to the root of the tall. Then , putting ( me hand into the. opening nml taking hold < -f the tall with the other , he gingerly drew out ( lie hindquarters of one of tluwe daintily- shaped hairless dng whleh hla countrymen affect In the form of frlca ie. The covering of the head and tthouldors wa a fixture , a perfectly nttlng ami most Ingeniously contrived mask , which It had ccflt Ixjo Chal some weeks of patient labor and the animal a like period of not ovcr- tdcasaiit training to get nnd keep In posi tion. Hut the hinder part was a miracle of that Imitative Ingenuity In which the cclcs-1 tlal excels all oilier workmen. The delicate lacing along the back where the hair of tlu > original owner of the skin had been thickest , something after the ftiah- Ion of on unkempt skyp terrier was abso lutely Imperceptible when closed , nml yet the Inslrliof llif skin was llneil with marvel- ( Misly-nmtrlxed poekctc , destined for small i or large stoniH , accordingly as the Inwiuali- > ltli-3 of the > Rnlmiil's lioily or the letmlh of the hair brpt affonlcd concealment. Lee dial nolnli'il Ihi-tn all out to the wondering Je . with a calm and , In Its way , justifiable pride , i and when lie had done Mr. I.owcnfeldt , who I no far had nut uttered any articulate suund , ' looked llrat at the half-naked dog and then at his own blamlly-amlllng face anil p.tlil ' very softly : I "Veil. I'm ! " I < oo Chal silently restored thi' dog to Its I original condition of dl ri'putablr ctirdom , Putting one hand into the opening hi- drew on kicked It onto the Hour with a motion of hta knee , ami raid , rinietly : "Well , Mlf a Lonefelt , you no link dat velly lirst chop 1. D. II. dogle ; , eh ? ' The immediate result of the somewhat animated conver.-atlon which followed I.oo dial's pertinent and businesslike. quntloti was the payment to him there and then of 2f.O in notcti and gold , and the drawing of a bill for fLTiO more at bitty-five days on the Standard bank at Capo Town. It was a big price to pay for a little dot , especially when con.sldt red in conjunction with a com- of 10 per cent on the praslhli ; fu ture value of Its skin , and the paying of it made all the heart that ' .Mr. Lowenfeldt pos- FP3Fe.il ache for ceveral days and nightK with a pain whlcli stimulated 111' ? normally keen witK to n really dangerous state of activity. The Jew hiving thus paid his money , It was for the heathen to do the rest ; and , as ' a llrst cotifciijucnce of what he did , a I'omlo j Kalllr whom he long had under hin eye for , the working out of this particular scheme , < presented hin.sclf at the gate of the new \ compound of the Do Ieer ) mine for hire i early on the following morning hut one. j llo had a very disreputable looking moil- ' grel under h ! arm , and this with only ' partly intelligible eloquence he strenuously declined to be parted from. The olllcl.ils ob jected , but the Kafllr stuck to his point and ; his dog , ami eventually carried both through , I for the compound t > yxtem was new and unpopular - 1 popular then , und native labor was very ' seaice. , so at last , as he was turning away I tci offer his fcervlciu elsewhere , lu > was called , back and allowed to take his cur In , for he was a fine athletic , likely-looking boy , and ' after all , If the dop gave any trouble , a fatal ncFa would not be a very dllllcult thing lei arrange for. i The I'omlo proved to be an excellent workman - ' man , and so little was seen or ' heard of the dog that Its existence was for gotten long before the usual two-months' engagement was up. "Dymebye , " an the Kalllr culled himself In accordance with the common custom of taking more or less grotesque Kngllsh namcH , found plenty of ohl acquaintances In the compound , as both Lee Chal and Mr. LnwcufPlilt had foreseen that liu would , mid , by virtue of sundry Invisible transactions between him and them , his dog Improved rapidly In value , although hl.s presence became even more 1111- obtruslvo than ever. About ten days before young Bymchyo'H time was up one of his most Intimate friends left the compound after patsing blamelessly through the then usual formal- I ties under the hands of the searching olll- clals , nnd that night contrived to convey , through Lee Chal and one Ah I''oo , his serv ant. the. welcome IIOWK to Mr. Lowenfeldt tint the 1'ondo's dog would come out with nueli a lining to its second skin as the ex- pericnced broker felt justified In estimating at from 10.000 to 12,000 In value. The Kalllr received live roverelgns In return - turn for his news , and with them and his own earnings ho proceeded , after the mtii- ner of hlri kind , to blind himself to the lights of heaven nnd divers barrooms for three days und nights , after which he went back with a light , pouch anil a heavy head to do another two months' spell in the mine. This tliuu In ? was the bearer of u message to hlK Tondo chum to the effect that If on his coming out he would take the- dog to u , certain place other than the house of Lee Chat ho would get 200 for It In place of the i'luu that his miiMer had promised him. To this the I'ondn , being easy of morals , and longing greatly for the possession of wives and cattle In his own land , Incontinently contented. The reason for this leading astray of the untutored ravage may he quickly seen In the fict ( hat 10 per cent on , say. HO.OiiO would be 1,000 , and thU , with the amount of the bill , would make 1 250 which , when Mr. L'jwenfeldt came to think quietly over the matter , H'emed to bo a most outrageous price to pay to a yellow-flklnned heathen even for u double-skinned dog , and , after due dfllbcrutlon , he decided not to pay It , If ho eoulil llnd any means of evading pay ment. The shortest slid easiest way to do this was to procure the arrest and conviction of I.oo Chal as an 1. J ) . n. before the I'omlo got out , anil to this end he succeeded In bribing Ah Too with cash down and promise of more to plant four "traps , " which he took from h's own tafe , In a convenient place In his master's store. Hut , as there is more honor of a sort among heathen than among thitms , Ah Ko gave the plot away , and In the tamp hour showed the trap ft- ties to Lee dial , who hid been suspecting some friendly action of the sort , and , with his con sent , took them away with him for greater safety and his own reward. Very early the next morning the police , "acting on Information received , " raided the store of too Chal , turned It mostly liitg the street , and found nothing , Its ownrr meanwhile looking on In blaiut resignation that would have well become a martyr in a bitter cause. A good deal of language was u ed by the executory of the law of which nq respectable printers' Ink would convey any adequate vxprerslon , but It was nothing tq the dcqueut Yiddish in which Mr. Augustug Lowenfeldl relieved hM feelings when he heard of thp barren mult of their labors , j The next morning n somewhat unwonted' seme was enacted outelde the main gate of I thp DP lifers compound. Some th.rty or fortv Katllr. ' . whose time was up and who had Rene through ( he final formalities pre ceding dismissal , were coming out laughing atrl sinking and chattering and jingling their hard-famed money like co many children , j and among them , as Innocently festive as | any. was young Hymebyo the I'omlo. He wn's not carrying his dog this time. Ho knew that the officials had almost. If noi entirely , forgotten Its existence , and UP ] wisely thought that It would bo more prudent to let It sneak quietly out among the lega of tin * crowd than to recall It to the gate keeper's memory by taking It In his arms. The animal had bc-omo quite attached to him. nnd he made sure that IIP would be able to pick it up without any dllllculty when he had got a safe distance from the i i gale. This he could have done quite * easily | If thp dog had only been left to Itself. Hut It wasn't. No sooner had It patspd the Rubicon al most unnoticed , and shown Itself In the road , than a peculiar cry , something like high I tenor "eoo-e-eo , " rrso shrilly Into the still air from nowhere In particular. The heathen dog pricked up Its false tars at the fanjlliar but long unheard sound , and thp next In stant between 10,000 nnd 12.000 worth of dot ; and diamonds was scampering down the road as fast as four wiry legs could carry It. Ilymebye let out a" high-pitched howl of i rage and horror , and started off with great I imping strides In pursuit of the much longed ' lor wlvte and cuttle and guns that were literally running ; away with the dog. The -ffit joined In the hue and cry , some lor coed rcasonn of their own , and some for the mere fun of the tiling , but , unfortunately , lust as they were beginning to gain on the Hying treasure , a squad of mounted police , coming back from their night's duty on the 1'ree State l)3dir , turned n cot IK r out of the Oti Toils Pan road at a trot and barred their way. Thp dog dodged In among the horses' legs and got clear away to the eager arms of t one ot those daintily-shaped hairless dogs. Ah Koo , who was waiting for it in a half- ruined tin shanty about 100 jar.la furtlier down the load. The police , al\\ < i\s ti-- ; plclous ot anything like a Kalllr eti.uete. ordered Ilymebye and his companlccis to stop , but the I'ondo and one or two of the othe.j who knew the worth of the quarry made a desperate effort to get through and con tinue the chase , with the resul ; that they weie bpeedlly run down , collared and marched oh1 to the tronk where , being ible to give no satisfactory reasons foiheir anxiety to catch the dog , they were sum marily lined 5 shillings each and Kicked out. AlmcHt at the same moment that they regained their liberty an occurrence , wi'rh ' the Diamond Fields Advertiser described the next morning as "a shocking tragedy1 took place just outside the bar of the Central hotel. Mr. Augustus Lowenfeldt had bten taking u few whiskies and so.las with some frlen.Ie. und was just bidding them goodby to go and see about some Important busi- neirt , when he happened tu look across the street and saw a well-ilrri-ncil Chinaman walklnK up the opposite side with a hair less Chinete terrier at his heels. His frlmds saw ills handa go up to bib collar. His fat checks and low forehead ninlduiilv became a deep bluish purple and his eyes , blood shot and staring , started half out of their soekeis. Fumbling feebly with his fast tight ening collar , he half gasped , half gurgle 1 : "Dog ten ihou' iloniby " and then ho reeled back and pitched tideways Into the road , and before they could get 'aim back into the bar he was dead. "Never knew poor Gussie to have 'em be fore , " one of bin frlen Is symp-UhMiigly remarked to another when they had n-u'i the remains safely on to the nmtrilan"t. "D'you think there really uas a def , there'/ lilethd If 1 did the thing looked to mo more like a rat. Come on , let's go and 'ave an other , it's given me qultb a turn.

A week ugo Leon Nusoiii of Port Gibson. Miss. , reached New Orleans with $303 In his inner pocket , a valet tagging on behind , and u yearning for a wild life on the river , relate the New Orleans Times. When Leon was crusted yc.'tonlay ho had a ftiam launch , which he didn't know how to run , a skiff , and an empty pmvse. Hln valet wan still with him. Leon is 11 years of aqe. His valet is 10 , and a.s black os the proverbial ace of spader. It Is rumored that they had to put the valet In a cistern to give day a chance to break around Port Gibson before the miniature adventure In ebony left that neighborhood. > Leon In ought hU penchant for steam launches with htm when h came tu New Orleans , and for several days he und his fol lower looked uiound for what he wjnted. Finally ho located the proper article in Al giers. He purchased it from ona Mr. Cuny. paying $2 5 In cash therefor. Thla way day before yesctrday. He also bought a skiff , and paid for it in cold ca.ih. . Yesterday Sp3clal Ofllcer Tuylor , one ot Shei ifl 'Marrero's force , saw Xusom and hi Ftdns Achates in Indian Ink pottering around a steam launch off Grctna. Oificcr Tayl .r thought it 'vaa funny , and questioned Lejn as to the place he hailed from and the man ner in whkh he acquired ownership ot the launch. Leon couldn't tell a straight story and Mr. Taylor took him before Sheriff Mar rero. rero.To Sheriff .Marrero's questions Leon turnci a deaf ear for some time. The little negr dually weakened and gave the who'.e stqr > away. He said that Leon had stolen sohit money fiom his mother , Mrs. K. N. Nusoni. and ( started for New Orleans. H J had been induced to come along. Leon finally unbent sufficiently to admit the truth of the darky's stoy : , and to say that he had spent every cent he had stolen. Then the sheriff telegraphed the authorities at Port Gibson , putting them in passe = .von of the facts about Leon's arrest. He received the following reply : "Leon N'urom wanted here. Left with $303 and colored boy. Hold him. Will send offi cer down tonight. Secure what money he may have. Answer. Xusom's mother Is Mr . B. N. Niwoin of this place. " Leon will return to Port Gibson thin morning , and hs ! faithful follower will go with him. It IK thought that most of the money spent by him during his stay In New- Orleans can be recovered on the return of the purchases made by him. "I was arrested just after I got to town , " said Leon yesteiday. "lint I had my money In my baek pants pocket and the police couldn't Hud It , so they turned mo loose.

' Mil tfc One of the Most Dramatic and Ingenious Stories > Wcymaii Has Yet Written SERIAL PUBLICATION & BEGAN JUNE 20 . - latest story by the author of "A Gcntlc- man of France , " "Under the Red' Robe , " etc. , fully equals those brilliant successes in vigor and masterly delineation of character , while it even surpasses them in subtlety and sustained iff interest. it In "Shrewsbury" Mr. Weyman for the first time leaves French soil and brings his read2rs to England , where the adventurous times of William III , while plots and counterplots kept tongues it it wagging and hearts a-throb , afford hi'ii ' ample opportunity for the unfolding of a powerful nar rative. The real hero is Charles Talbot , the famous i D uke of Shrewsbury ; but the story is told by an ignorant country lad , Dick Price , first usher in a grammar school , then scribe to Mr. Broome , the writer of news letters , and eventually , through his own indecision of character , involved in a network of Anti-Williamite intrigue. Price falls into the hands of Ferguson , the if ! notorious stormy petrel of three rebellions , who uses him as a go-between ; but the Duke of Shrewsbury proves his friend in need and on sev eral occasions saves him from danger and even death. Price possesses a curious accidental like ness to the Duke : and this likeness the plotter , Matt Smith , seeks to turn to Shrewsbury's ruin , by forcing the clerk to impersonate his patron in an interview with the arch-rebel , Sir John Fen- wick. But at Fenwick's trial all is discovered , and the romance comes to a dramatic conclusion , leaving the sorely tried Price to marry the girl of his choice and retire from the buffets of a busy world. world."A "A Gentleman of France , " by this same author , was probably the most successful serial ever published. "Shrewsbury" promises to equal it. The Omaha Sunday Bee WATCH FOR IT ! READ IT !
