IMR. W. H, BAKER'S RING.

Mr. Baker himself told us this story. He said it was true; nor. is’ this unlikely. Ihave known Mr. William Henry Baker personally for a number of years, and I am inclined to think he has hitherto never in all his life told thetruth. Now, it is so manifestly improbable that the most consis- tent man should protract a long and useful career of story-telling to such extraordinary limits, without at some period telling the truth by sheer misadventure, that it is quite likely Mr. Baker may have committed him- self in this instance. At least the time has arrived for human nature to assert itself, according to the doctrine of averages.

‘“‘Only once, gentlemen,” said Mr. B., “have I been deceived. William Henry keeps his eyes open in a general way ; Wil- liam Henry also takes the liberty of seeing out of them. . He uses them, as a rule, for purposes of observation, gentlemen. Still, Tadmit I was, once, taken in by as dead a swindle as could be. Iam not: ashamed to own, I made money by it afterall; but 1 was swindled.

“It was about a diamond ring. I knew the fellow who had it for many years in the way of business. He was a commercial traveler, and used always to flash this ring about whenever he came round on his jour- neys. A jeweller friend of mine, who hap- pened to be in my office once when Mr. Blook called, asked, [ remember, to be allowed to examine it ; and had pronounced the stones to be diamonds of the purest water, telling me afterwards the ring was worth about seventy pounds. Mr. Blook’s initials were engraved inside the hoop of the ring: ‘R. B.”; and besides that, it was a ring of peculiar and rather old- fashioned make. Indeed, having once seen the ring, no one would be likely to mistake it for another. Well, Mr. Blook got into difficulties, and went so entirely to the bad that I never saw or heard anything more of him. But about two years afterwards, whilst walking down a back street, my eye was taken bya ring exhibited in a pawn- broker’s window.

‘‘Mr. Blook’s ring !” I exclaimed direct- ly ; ‘*I’ll swear to it.”

it was in a tray with a number of very seedy-looking rings, and was as discolored and dirty as they were. I went into. the shop and asked to look at it. The pawn- broker, an old Jew, ‘said :

‘* Yesh, I might see his ringsh ; but he did not know. mosh about ringsh himself. ‘They wash unredeemed pledges, thash what they wash, and they mosh all marked at the monish advanshed upon them, with a very small overplush for interesh—thash all he knew.” ;

There was no mistake about it ; it was Mr. Blook’s ring, and had his initials inside. Buthow did the Jew get it? He Would soon tell me. Referring to his book he found it had been pawned two years ago in the name of Smith.

*‘Thash all he knew. Would I buy? ‘{t wash dirt sheap—three’ poundsh twelve — and cost him all the monish !”

‘Three - pounds twelve!” I. repeated, thinking he had made a mistake, for the ring was worth twenty times that amount.

“Well, if it’ wosh too dear,’ ‘he had some. sheaper ones — beautiful ringsh, _he dare shay—but he knew sho little about ringsh, you shee, ex-

monies on them, couldn’t undustand everything in his bishitwb, you shee, from flat-ironsh to diamondsh.’

I bought the ring, after beating the Jew down halt-a-crown, partly to prevent his suspecting its value, and _ partly—well knowing the disposition of the peculiar people—to oblige him.

I wore my new purchase about, with no little inward satisfaction at having bettéred a Jew at a bargain. In my own mind, I accounted for its coming into his possession somewhat in this way: Mr. Blook must have sold the ring, when in difficulties, to some one else, I was quite certain Mr. Blook had not pawned it at the Jew’s, or the Jew would have known its value. The ring must, then, have either been lost by, or stolen from, a subsequent. possessor; and the finder, or thief (which ever it happened to be), being ignorant of its value, had taken it to the Jew, who knew no better.

There is a certain commercial club in our town, which I occasionally visit. The members are of an easy and somewhat live- ly disposition; generally given to indulge in that playful style of banter popularly known as ‘‘chaff.” My diamond ring came in for a good share of it. I can stand chaff as well as must men; but I put it to you, if, when you know your brilliants are real, it isn’t a little annoying for the chaff of a whole body of people to assume the char- acter of persistent disbelief in the value of your jewelry? For instance, the waiter answers the bell.

‘Did any gentleman ring?”

‘‘O yes,” one of the members would re- tort; ‘‘it was the gentleman with the paste diamonds.”

Again, there are kinds of sham _brilliants known as Irish Diamonds, and Isle of Wight Diamonds. The club (not one or two members, but the whole body) refused to recognize such distinctions, and insisted on designating the whole class of shams as **Baker’s Diamonds,” ‘‘Baker’s Paste,” my gems were also denominated. They ac- tually sent me by post a circular of some- body’s Baking Powder, adding to it at the end, where it says the public is respectfully cautioned against spurious imitations, ‘but more particularly against a spurious prepa- ration to deceive the unwary, known as Baker’s *Paste,’” Now, after two or three weeks, this became tiresome. Still I took no notice, and affected not to think the re- marks intended for me.

Thardly know what made me go and call on my friend the jeweller. It was not that I had any doubts of the cenuineness of the diamonds, especially as he was the very man who had before valued Mr. Blook’s ring at seventy pounds. But it had been so dinned into my head that they were

false, that [ wanted just a formal confir-

shept that he alyageh adyvanshed too mosh

|mation of the estimate he had previously formed of their worth.

““O yes,” said my friend the jeweller; “I recognize the ring again directly.— Want to know what it’s worth?’ (He put it in the scales.) _ ‘‘Well—h’m—about seven— and—twenty shillings for old golc ce

“Eh?” said I, as pale as a turnip. ‘‘Why, didn’t you tell me it was ‘worth seventy ,; pounds?”

“Yes,” he answered; ‘‘when it had | diamonds in it—not when it has paste.”

Talking txe matter over, -the jeweller suggested, that on Mr. Blook getting into difticulties, the first ~~ thing he did was to sell the diamonds out of the ring, and get their places supplied with paste; whilst, finally, he had pawned it himself with the gem, as a paste ring.

“Well, William Henry,” said Ito my- \Self, ‘‘the Jew has jewed you, and the club jhas chaffed you, and you may consider yourself trod upon, after the manner of speaking.”

“But the worm will turn.”

“Did the jeweller let out diamonds on hire ?” I asked. ‘He did.” ; ‘Would he have a certain alteration, which { suggested, made in my ring in a fortnight’s time? ” ‘*He would.” “And keep it a secret.”

“‘Certainly— business was business.” “For the whole of that fortnight I never went near the club; that was probably the reason why my appearance at the club dinner was not greeted with such lively sallies about Baker’s Paste. One would-be wag recommended me, whilst helping.a tart, ‘‘to keep my fingers out of the pastry.” Believing him io intend some obseure allusion to the gems on my littie tinger, I thought it time to open fire. Gentlemen,” said I “for some weeks I have listened to casnal observations. in which the name of Baker has been un- worthily associated with paste and pastry, but have refrained from making any re- mark, having been firmly persuaded they could only apply to industrious — trades- men employed in the manufacture of home- baked bread.” (Oh, Oh!) “It now occurs to me that such remarks were in- tended {# allusion,.to: the ring I wear—a ring, whtch I take this opportunity of in- forming you—which unlike the wits who have amused themselves at its expense—is indebted for its brilliancy to pature.” They hooted ime; . they heaped opprobrious epithets on ihe namg. of Baker, they laughed and talked meen.

“Pl bet him five pounds it’s paste,” said one.

’ ‘So will I,” said another, ‘‘And I,” “And

?

‘So said eleven of them.” ‘ “Realiy, gentleinen,” said T, “T am sorry you should take this matter so much in earnest. All I can tell you is, 1 believe my ring to be a diamond ring,and this,notwith- standing I wiil firmly admit I only paid a very small snin for it.”

“They laughed and hooted me still more at this admission. They said that settled the question, and that it was paste,”

“t told them I did not think it was.” ‘Well, would I bet?”

‘I would rather not.”

‘More hooting.”

“‘Atlength, very reluctantly, I overcame my scruples. The name of Baker is a name too closely allied to the gentle bred (arms, four loaves, ppr—sejant, quartered — crest the doe, livant) to allow *it to be wantonly sullied, I bet.

We adjourned to the jeweller’s, “‘Without question, they were diamonds, the jeweller decided, ‘‘and some ofthe finest he had ever'seen.” | He ought to know, as they were his property—hired. by me for the occasion.”

‘Eleven fives is fifty-five, gentlemen.”

‘Having established the value of my ring, and freed the name of Baker from suspicion, ; gems, and had . the paste stones re-set in their places, believing, after all, the repu- tation for diamonds to be as good as the possession of them, and free from the anxiety.

“It was talked about, and noised abroad; it even reached the little back street where the pawnbroker lived. \ You should have seen him.”

‘‘Real shtones!. Oh, my heart! Shey- enty-five poundsh—dead robbery—clean gone. Oh, my bootshe and bones! not to know that folkshe do shometimes come and pawn real diamondsh for phaste, sho as to have less interesh to pay for taking care of their ringsh. Oh, my blessed heart, only t8think of it !”

‘‘He came to me: He grovelled, and wriggied, and twisted himself before me. He prayed me to sell him his ring again. ‘Oh, my tere Mr. Baker, you musht sell it to me, or [ shall be a ruined old mansh. The time wosh not out, and Mr. Smit has come to redeem it, and he shays that it was a legacy, and if he does not get it by Shat- urday next he will ruin me—sh-help him, he will. Oh, Mishter Baker, think of it; twenty poundsh—all in gold—sholid money. Now, my tere, what do you shay? Thersh a good mansh !’”

‘“ What did I say? Could I turn a deaf ‘ear to the distress of the old man? There are people who might do it, gentlemen, but not people of the name of Baker—not W. H. Baker. I certainly did ask him for more money. We gmpromised it at last at cwenty-two, ten, which he paid, part in sixpences and coppers, and owes me four- pence-halfpenny to this day.”

“Twenty-two, nine and seven pence-half- penny, and fifty-five pounds, is seventy- seven, nine, seven and a half. It just paid for the real diamonds ; for 1 bought the ones I had previously hired of the jeweller, and had thei in a ring the fac-simile of Mr. Biook’s, except that the initials inside

are W. H. B.”

“That was the only, time I was ever
