Several million grateful persons, mostly French, but with many thousands of their allies, struggled forward along the line of march for an oppor tunity to wave and shout their gratitude to the men w ho saved them from German imperialism. The great triumphal arch, conceived by Napoleon to commemorute his victory at the battle of AusterllU, took 011 new historic importance when the allies marched through the massive pile of masonry which dominates all Farls and moved down the Champs Elysees toward the Place de la Concorde. The place of honor in the procession was not accorded to the generals and the smartly equipped troops. It was given to a thousand mutilated soldiers who passed under the arch and In front of the reviewing stand, where stood President 1olncare, moving haltingly and out of step, as best they could. Many were Injured, some were blind, tome were in wheel chairs and others were on crutches or limped along with the aid of canes. Few of them were uniformed. .. They represented all of the provinces of France as was Indicated by the variety of their civilian Attire. They made no effort to maintain military formation, but marched as well as they could to the airs played by the military band which led them. , A thousaud wounded soldiers with crutches or In wheel chairs and clad, for the most part, in civilian clothes, led the parade, being preceded by a drum Corps. Guns began firing at minute intervals as Fresldent Poincare placed a wreath at the foot of the cenotaph at the Arc d'Trtomphe thl morning.

Suffice It to say that the Hope diamond Is a sapphire-blu- e stone of 44 karats; that It made ita appearance In France In 1668; that It is believed by the superstitious to have the "evil eye;" that its published history, which Is probably largely Imaginary, would seem to bear out lta evil Influence on the fortunes of Its many owners, and that the parents of the dead boy are the present owners of the gem, so far as the world knows. The "$200,000,000 baby was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Beal McLean. He was expected to Inherit a vast fortune from his grandfathers, John It. McLean, the owner of several newspapers, and Thomas F, Walsh, a millionaire mine operator of Colorado. lie slept in a gold cradle, the gift of King Leopold of Belgium, a partner with Walsh in the famous Camp Bird gold mine in the San Juan district of Colorado. He had five nurses In five of the finest mansions In America. He had a private car, which carried him to Palm Beach, to California, or wherever he was to go. Ha had a half dozen automobiles of his own. From the moment of his birth Vinson was famous as the most carefully guarded baby on earth. A small army of guards, detectives and attendants and a corps of doctors and nurses watched over him 24 hours in the day. When he was an infant he took hla airings In a baby buggy which was a veritable eteel cage locked by special padlocks. This was one of the precautions against kidnapers. Then came a moment when the vigilance of hla attendants waa relaxed. Slipping away, the boy started across the street A "flivver" bearing a West Virginia license and containing three women came along and ran him down In front of hla home! It was in 1068 that Jean Baptiste Tavernier, a French traveler, appeared in Paris with a diamond of marvelous else and coloring. Some said It had been stolen from its place among the ornaments of a Hindu Idol. More Insisted it had been taken from the palace of the Grand Moguls of Delhi. Wherever It came from, the story places It Immediately afterward In th'e possession of Louis XIV, who placed It among the crown jewels of Vance and permitted It to be worn by Mme. de Montespan. Thus the diamond la launched upon a career of 111 fortune and disaster Mid tragedy. It was not long, so runs the story, after Traver-nle- r sold It to Louis XT for 2200,000 francs and a barony, that Tra verier was torn to pieces by wild dogs while b was on a hunting expedition. Mme, de MoOespans fail Is part of history. She was sy$t&nted soon by Mme, de Malntenon. At this time the diamond weighed 67 karats. The story says that la the rough It was of 112 karois, and that the king sent It to an Amsterdam leweler to be cut and polished. Along with other court Jewels the diamond descended upon the death of Louis XIV to Louis XV. Tradition permits several of his favorites to have worn It, and so the lives of all of these are supposed to have ended In tragedy, failure or worse. Louis-Xcame-lnt- o possesrioit of thestoneTa course of time, and through him it went to Marie Antoinette, who wore it, extending the same privilege to her friend. Princess de Lamballe. Genuine history records that Marie Antoinette died on the guillotine, and that the princess was torn to pieces by a French mob and her head carried about upon pike. The stone was lost sight of about 1732. TLr--, kfter a span of 88 years the stone reappeared In 1830. In the meantime the story writers again reduced Its size to 44 karats. When rer the gem was In those years of mystery, storK are numerous today that It still was performing Its mission of blighting lives and fortunes. One of these accounts attributes to Daniel Eliason, a Jeweler of London, who got the stone in 1S30, a story that after It was supposedly stolen from the royal treasures of France by a Paris mob the gem was sold to an Amsterdam jeweler, William Fals, who recut the stone to Its present dimensions. -- The story goes that Hendrikra son of William Fals, stole the Jewel from his parenl who died a ruined man. Then this record disposes of Hendrik by suicide, after which the stone got Into possession of one Francis Bean-lieto whom the story ascribes a death by starvation. It was this roan who sold the stone to Eliason. Vf n, ae-inir- N. Monoacetlc-acidest-er HEARTY EATERS IN AUSTRALIA? fiaey Hun Lirted fer Trial ' rrltn.

Hope Is credited with having given the diamond to hla daughter at the time ehe married the sixth duke of Newcastle in 1861. But apparently It was the fiction mongers and not she who bequeathed the gem to her eon, Lord Francis Hope, that It might get sensationally Into the life of May Yohe, the American actress. This part of the story Is mere fiction. It is true that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope. It Is true that she eloped with CapL Putnam Brad-le- e Strong, eon of a former mayor of New York. Lord Francis obtained a divorce, and the wife married Captain Strong, only to be divorced a second time. But May Yohe, although she has been quoted as saying that she wore the Hope diamond only twice and that her troubles were due to Its malign Influence, probably never even saw the stone. Certainly Lord Francis never had possession of 1L So, when the story goes on to say that he sold It for $168,000 to Joseph Frankel, a New York Jeweler, the statement Is untrue. It is true that Frankel had the gem In New York. Where and from whom Frankel acquired the stoDe never has been made clear, but the stone went back to Paris and into the possession of Jacques Colet, who bought It from Frankel Colet has been reported as haring killed himself after losing his mind. before that tragedy, however, the diamond Is reputed to have passed Into the ownership of Prince Ivan Kanitowskt, and the legend promptly disposes of the prince at the hands of a mob of iiusslan revolutionists. Thence the story skips to the murder of Mile. Ladue, to whom the Bussian prince had loaned the diamond. A jealous admirer is charged with this murder, j Next In the legend of the Jewel ls listed Simon Moncharldes, of whose identity there appears to be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding close enough to a precipice to be thrown over and killed. Just before his death Moncharldes is credited with having sold the diamond Habib, a Persian, who acted as agent the Sultan Abdul Hamid. One version of the next chapter is that Habib was drowmed In a wTeck and the diamond lost The publication of this was later explained as a ruse to throw thieves off the tralL This version takes the stone to Constantinople, where It cuts wide swath In violence, misfortune and death and finally brings about the end of Abdul Hamid. Be all that as It may. It appears that instead of having drowned with the gem in the shipwreck, Habib got back to Paris with it.- - It was sold at auction for $80,000 June 24, 1909. The gem then passed into possession of P. C. Cartier, and the Cartier firm brought it to this In January. 1911, announcement was country. made that the stone-habeen sold to The McLean family and that the purchase price was $1S0,000.
