chapter, just as though there had been no break. The man who purchased Ali Hafed’s farm one day led his camel into the garden to drink, and as that camel put its nose into the shallow water of that garden brook, Ali Hafed’s successor noticed a curious flash of light from the white sands of the stream. He pulled out a black stone having an eye of light reflecting all the hues of the rainbow. He took the pebble into the house and put it on the mantel which covers the central fires, and forgot all about it. A few days later this same old priest came in to visit Ali Hafed’s successor, and the moment he opened that drawing-room door he saw that flash of light on the mantel, and he rushed up to it, and shouted: “Here is a diamond! Has Ali Hafed returned?” “Oh no, Ali Hafed has not returned, and that is not a diamond. That is nothing but a stone we found right out here in our own garden.” “But,” said the priest, “I tell you I know a diamond when I see it. I know positively that is a diamond.” EAD WITH THE STORY INTO THE SECOND CHAPTER JUST AS THOUGH THERE HAD BEEN NO BREAK THE MAN WHO PURCHASED ALI HAVE FED'S FARM ONE DAY LED HIS CAMEL INTO THE GARDEN TO DRINK AND AS THAT CAMEL PUT ITS NOSE INTO THE SHALLOW WATER OF THAT GARDEN BROOK ALI HA FED'S SUCCESSOR NOTICED A CURIOUS FLASH OF LIGHT FROM THE WHITE SANDS OF THE STREAM HE PULLED OUT A BLACK STONE HAVING AN EYE OF LIGHT REFLECTING ALL OF THE HUES OF THE RAINBOW HE TOOK THE PEBBLE INTO THE HOUSE AND PUT IT ON THE MANTLE WHICH COVERS THE CENTRAL FIRES AND FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT A FEW DAYS LATER THIS SAME OLD PRIEST CAME IN TO VISIT ALI HAFED'S SUCCESSOR AND THE MOMENT HE OPENED THE DRAWING ROOM DOOR HE SAW THAT FLASH OF LIGHT ON THE MANTEL AND HE RUSHED UP TO IT AND SHOUTED HERE IS A DIAMOND HAS HALIFED RETURNED OH NO ELI HAVE NOT RETURNED AND THAT IS NOT A DIAMOND THAT IS NOTHING BUT A STONE WE FOUND RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN GARDEN BUT SAID THE PRIEST I TELL YOU I KNOW A DIAMOND WHEN I SEE IT I KNOW POSITIVELY THAT IS A DIAMOND
