Unique Story of

I By LEETE STONE
^ (ft by MoCtu^Ntwapapar^SyndteatO
t AM a diamond ring—an engagement
* ring. Jewelers eay my trane-
partmey Is of the first water. I wae
found and cut In Kimberley, Africa.
I was first shown In Paris; then a
diamond bnyer bought me, and with
ottMS gems brought me to America,
whfirs I was mounted In a lovely, slim
jpjatlnum gold ring and relegated to
the soft plush display case of a whole-
sals gem firm In downtown New York,
(k Om day a handsome young man

you’re here Instead of behind your

Binder's going to marry me as soon
,ac I get a good start here—enough for
'an apartment and furnishings.”
j *£Lucky boy 1 There’s not a finer
{flmn Sioux City than Molly Bender.”
lv»Aaj, Mr. Ames I .wonder If you’d
ddjne a favor and sell me an engage-
ment ring at wholesale price? I want
a really good one for Molly; but I’ve

I could see fils other arm holding her
closely to him. She held out her fin-
ger and be placed me on It tenderly.
All she said was:
"Thanks, Bob, old thing; you're a
dear!”
Somehow, I could not Imagine Molly
Bender receiving me as casually as
that Dolly Vance was a very differ-
ent girl from Molly, as different as
Sioux City li from New York. And aa
far aa I could see I made no differ-
ence In her life whatever. She went
out with other young men almost as
much as she did with Bob. Coming
homa in taxis she let all them make
love to her as much as she let Bob;
some, It geemed to me, even more ar-
dently.
Frequently Dolly and Bob would
quarrel. I’d hear:
"I s’pose I’m not up-to-date, Dolly;
but I can’t see why you have to go
out with so many men. When will
you marry me?"
“Oh, Bob; don’t be ridiculous! Not
for a year or so. I must have a good
time first.”
One day Dolly took me to a strange
place where I was ticketed, enclosed
In a heavy envelope, and locked away
In a great safe. I did not like this.
It was dark, silent, solitary. I was
there so long I felt sure I would lose
all my luster. For I am peculiar. I
can only sparkle wh^n lam worn on a
happy finger.
•At last the safe door clanked and
grated. I was taken out. Who should
I see when my envelope was opened
but pob. He handed the man who
held me a little square ticket with
whs* seemed like a lot of money, and
stowed me sway carefully In an in-
side pocket.
Next I knew for a day or two l
seemed to be riding with Bob on a
train.
What a Joyous surprise It was to me
when Bob drew me out and I recog-
nized the parlor of Molly Bender’s
hotne In Sioux City—and Molly, bless
her heart, beside Bob on the sofa.
These words':
"Molly, darling, will you take back
the biggest fool in the world?"
How good It seems to^ be back on
Molly Bender’s finger, for it Is a happy
finger now. Just last night she whis-
pered to me v
“You’re going to have a band of
gold for a playmate tomorrow.”
Spontaneous Combustion
The origin of fire by spontaneous
combustion Is an accepted fact When-
ever oxygen combines with anything
heat Is produced. In some cases the
oxidation takes place very slowly and
no heat or light Is observed, so that
rags, cotton waste saturated with cer-
tain oils, newspapers, straw and many
similar materials give off heat of suf-
ficient amounts to reach the kindling
point of the materials, which then
burst Into flame. The loss of many
farm buildings is laid to spontaneous
combustion of bay.

There was a tense, drawn look on
her face ns she stepped on the Iron

rectly In front of her, as though she
was gazing on some frightful specter,
from which she was unable to with-
draw her eyes.
