THE COUNTESS" DIAMONDS ,
A TllUE 8IOUY.
Domestic Monthly.
It was an ovonittg in midwinter. The
Parisian season was at ita height , and a
brilliant audience had nuomblod at the
Theatre Francala.
The Empress Eugenia was present ,
graceful and beautiful ; the emperor at
her side , wrapped in his favorite i air of
gloomy abstraction , which , lika Lord
Burloigh's celebrated nod , was supposed
to mean so much ; yet which , viewed by
the impartial light of subsequent voracious
cious history , . acoma to have signified no
very little. Several officers in glit
tering uniforms were in attendance ,
sparkling with decorations showered upon
them by a grateful sovereign ; and among
thcso gallant warriors , conspicuous by
reason of the somberneaa of his attire ,
was a solitary , humble , black-coated civ
ilian in ordinary evening irosa , ' with
the inevitable speck of rod at his button-
hole.
In a box aimost immediately opposite
that occupied by their Imperial majesties
was a young and exceedingly handsome
Russian lady , the Countess IvanofT , con
cerning whoso manifold graces and fasci
nations the great world of Paris elected 11
to interest itself considerably at this po
riod.
riod.Tho
The beauty and the wit of this fair
northern enchantress were the theme of
every masculine tongue and her magnif
icent diamonds the envy and admiration
of all fcmlnino beholders.
The countess was accompanied by her
husband , a fine man of distinguished
pro-possessing appearance , who looked
an embodied refutation of the colobratod.
Napoleonic aphorism , as though no
amount of "scratching" could over un
earth the Cossack clement underneath
his refined , polished exterior.
The curtain toll after the first act. The
Emp eror and Empress withdrew during
the intermission. Many humbler mor
tals followed their example , among them
Count IvanofF.
The Countess leant back in her luxuri
ous chair , fanning herself dreamily , indifferent -
different to the interest she was excit
ing. In the dim light of her curtaln-
ahadod box the glitter of her splendid
diamonds seemed to form a sort of
luminous halo round her graceful head ;
myriad starry brilliants gleamed among
the masses of her gold-brown hair ; and
two priceless stones , popularly reported
to bo worth that unknown quantity , a
king's ranson , Hashed and twinkled Itko
twin planets in her little oholl tinted
oara.
oara.Tho count had not boon gone ftvo
minuses when there was a gentle knock
at the door , and , in answer to the count
ess , "Entrez , " the uihor appeared and
said deferentially :
"Pardon , Madame la Comtcsao ; ely
gentleman charged with a message from
her majesty , the Empress , waits in the
corridor , and desires to know if madame
will have the goodness to rccolvo him. "
"Certainly ! Enter , I bog of you ,
Monsieur , " replied the Countess , in the
low , suave voice , which was not the least
of her many attractions , bowing gracious
ly as clio recognised the diatingulBhod
looking civilian she had already noticed
in close proximity to the emperor in the
imperial box.
The visitor advanced a few stops , and ,
Btlll standing in deep shadow , said with
grave dignity :
"I trust my intrusion may bo par
doned. I am desired by her Majesty to
ask a favor of Madame la Oonitcaao , and ,
at the same time , to bog that she will
have the goodness to excuse a some
what unusual request. "
"Tho obligation will bo mine If I can
fulfill oven the loaat of her Majesty's
wishes , " answered the Countess , grate
fully.
"Tho case is thia , " explained the gen
tleman , in a tone of well-bred ease.
"An argument has orison concerning the
size of the diamonds In your earrings and
these of the Countess "W. The Empress
begs that you will intrust ono of your
pedants to her care for a few moments ,
as the only satisfactory method of dis
posing of the vexed question. I will
myself return it the instant her Majesty
gives it back into my Hooping. "
"With tlio greatest pleasure , " agreed
tlio couuti'ss , with amiable alacrity do *
taching the precious jewel forthwith , and
depositing it , without mlsgjving , in the
outstretched palm of the imperial mos *
songer ; for , indeed , diamonds were al
most as plentiful in the existence of this
fortunate Judy cs in the pages of some
novels.
The countess bestowed a smila and a
gracious bow of dismissal upon her Ma
jesty's distinguished ambassador , who re
sponded by n profoundly respectful in
clination as ho inado his exit. Once
safely outside the box , the aristocratic
features of this high-brod imperial emis
sary suddenly lost their serene expression j
dignified gravity , nnd relaxed into a
triumphant Mephlatophollaii grin ,
Shortly afterwards Count Ivanoff returned -
turned , " 1 have been talking lo D , "
remarked , ns ho seated himself.
"Clover follow , D . I am not sur
prised at the omj.oror'a partiality for
him ; ho must find him BO useful when ho
in want of an idea. "
"Who is D r inquired lha count-
CBS , with languid interest.
"That is rather n dilllcult question , "
replied thu count , smiling ; there are sev
eral editions of his biography all differ
ent , rrobn y none of them true , llo is
successful , which Is the chiot point ; more
over , ho is entertaining nnd , nt any rate ,
looks nnd speaks like n gentleman , which ,
in these evil days , is something -oven
much. Look ) ho has just entered the
umporor'fl box the man in the block
coat. "
"la that Monsour D ? " exclaimed
the countess , waking up to a mild inter
est In the subject. "If so , ho has boon
hero while you were nwny. Ho came on
the part of the empress , nnd carried off
ono of my earrings , which her mnjoaty
wished to compare with one of the countess -
ess of W.s"
"D 1 Impossible ! I wns talking to
him the whole time 1 wns absent , and ho
only loft mo nt the top of the staircase
two seconds before I returned. "
"Nevertheless , mon ami , ho has boon
hero nnd has taken my earring. See , it
is gone. "
"Effectively t" ngrood tno count , with n
prim umllo ; "but 1 > 1ms not ta1 < ou it.
It ii to the last degree unlikely that the
empress would mnko such a request.
Depend upon it you have boon inndo the
victim of n thief , got up ns nn nccurnto
copy of the distinguished looking D . "
"Impossible ! " cried the countess in her
turn. "Tho affair is absolutely ns I toll
ou. It was Monsieur D , the vorltn-
ilo Monsieur D I see opposite , who
came Into this box nnd took away my
diamond. Only wnit n little , and ho will
ring it back intact. "
"To wnitnlittlo is to lesson the chance
of its recovery. In nny case I will go
nud Inquire of D , if I can got nt
him , whether ho hns boon seized with n
suddou attack of kleptomania : because
the idea of the Empress having sent him
ronming nbout the theater borrowing n
Ii ' jewels I regard ns preposterous.
i Ah those Parisians ! You do not know
| what scientific geniuses they arc In their
way.
way.With thia the court departed , nnd the
second net wns nearly at an end before ho
returned.
In the meantime the Countess pro-
colvod that she was an object of interest
to the occupants of the imperial box , and
notably to the "double" of her late
aristocratic looking visitor , who , she
could still solemnly declare , had stood
before her.
" 1 was right , " whispered the Count ,
ro entering nnd nbout D of nnd earring ,
nnd , needless to say , the Empress never
aunt him to any ono else upou such nn
orrnnd. 1 have put the matter into the
hands of ttio police , and will do all that ia
possible to recover It. "
"lloallyl How very droll ! " remarked
the countess with calm nonchalance- for
aha belonged to that order of impassive ,
statuesque women , who remain mistress
of themselves through any quantity of
"china fall " "I will take
. ; out the other
earring , or people will think I am trying
to sot the fansion bywearing ] nn odd ono , "
and she handed the follow of the pur
loined jewel to her husband.
The play came to an and , as oven that
most excellent feast of reason , a good
French play , well acted , must do , sooner
or later , in common with all things muu :
dauo.
The countess vraa duly commiserated
by sympathizing friouds , who , ono and
all , declared behind her back that they
would never have boon guilty of the im
becility of trusting no valuable a posses
sion to the tender * mercies of however
fascinating a stranger ; but nothing moro
was hoard of the stolen jewel until the
following day at noon , when Count Ivan-
oil" received n note from D to the ef
fect thnt , as 1m could not help consider
ing himself partly responsible for the loss
of the diamond which had disappeared
through the agency of his counterpart ,
ho had taken an early opportunity of in
terviewing the chief of the police , who
assured him ho hadgooa reason to believe
the thief had already boon traced as far
as Brussels.
Early in the afternoon the countess
was about to start for her daily drive in
the park. The frozen snow lay deep up
on the ground , and her sledge , with its
two jot-black Ilusslan horsoa jingling
their bolls merrily in the frosty nir.stood
waiting in tbo courtyard while the count-
toss donned her furs.
A servant entering announced that nn
officer of police , in plain clothoa , aakod
permission to speak with Modamo la-
Comtoss concerning the lost diamond.
"Certainly , " agreed madame , gracious
ly , "lot the officer bo shown into the
boudoir. "
Into the boudoir presently came the
Countess , stately , beautiful , fur-clad ,
buttoning her little gloves. Near the
door stood a short , why-looking man ,
with keen black oyca , closely-cropped
hair , and compact , erect , military figure.
The small man clinked his heels together
nnd bowed profoundly in the presence of
so much high-born loveliness , while ho
said , with the utmost respect , at the
name time laying n letter upon the table :
H"I am sent by the order of the chief of
police , to inform Madame la Comfosso
that the stolen diamond has boon satis
factorily traced , but there is , nnfortun
ntitoly , some little dilliculty connected
with its identification. I am charged ,
therefore , to bog that Madame la Com-
tosso will bnvo the goodness to entrust
the follow earring to the police for o short
period , in order that it may bo compared
with the ono found in the possession of
thu suspected thief. Madame will find
that the letter I bring corroborates my
statement. "
The coumtcss glanced hastily through
the letter , nnd , ringing the bell , desired
that her maid might bo told to bring the
remaining earring 'immediately. This
was done , and the dapper little manbow-
ing doiforontially , departed with the pro
clous duplicate safely in his possession.
The countess descended to her alodgo
and drove to the club to call for her hus
band onrouto for the park. Crossing the
Place do la Concorde , she related to him
the latest incident in the story of the diamond
mend earring.
"You never were induced to give up
the other1' ? cried Count lyanhoff , incred
ulously.
"But I tell you , mon ami , on pflicor of
the police came himself to fetch it , bring
ing a letter from his superior vouchitig
for the truth of his statement. "
"If the prefect himself had como I
don't think I should have boon cajoled
into letting him have it after last night'a
experience , " laughed her husband.
"However , for the second time of asking ,
wo will go and inquire. "
The coachman turned ana drove as di
rected to the bureau of police , at which
the count had lodged his complaint the
night bpforo. After a little delay , the
count rejoined his wife with a Boml-grim
ook of amusement upou his huadeomo
hirsute face ,
"Tho police know nothing of your do.

drawing the fur rug up to his chin as the
impatient horses sped away merriiy over
the frozen unow ; "it was the wrong man

other member of the light-fingered fra

And from that unlucky day to this the
Countess IvanolFa celebrated diamond
