THE DIAMOND
X
5 OIVIE lives are bound up in superstition and lore which often take form in
their religion and other beliefs Some of these are connected with our family
traditions and even the most unbelieving of LQ humans at one time or another
feel these influences
I do not mean to say that the story I relate is taken from a chain of coin
cidences or has been comured by my imagination There may or may not
have been any connecting link with the story of the diamond and the fate
of Harmony Locke
Harmony and I had always been the best of friends We had grown up
together in the town of Shorewood and our lives had always been interwoven
Perhaps it was our nearness to each other that led me to follow her to Spain
and there find the tragic end to our friendship
Harmony the name didn t suit her any more than the life that had been
planned for her by her parents Her father and mother had musical inclina
tions and they felt that the baby daughter should be named to suit the voca
tion they had planned for her Although sne had the best in the way of a
musical education still she lacked the feelina for music and often I found her
in tears bitterly disgusted with the hours of practice forced upon her The name
did not suit her disposition e ther for although she was the dearest person
l knew she seemed to be made up of a dozen different conflicting emotions
due to the fact that she had forced upon her a life that was in complete con
trast with her nature She wanted to be an actress but her family had resolved
that she would be a musician
When Harmony s parents were killed in an automobile accident I thought
that at last Harmony would be freed from their influences She loved them
dearly and I have very seldom seen a family so attached to each other but
when the question of Harmony s career was mentioned they would not relent
on this subject They honestly believed she had talent and it was their desire
that Harmony be famous
To my great surprise and to Harmonys life was not changed by her
parents unfortunate death Her Grandmother decided to carry on and to see
that Harmony fulfilled the trust that had been placed in her
It was this Grandmother that had given her on her sixteenth birthday the
diamond pendant The setting was antique silver and placed in the middle
was the diamond I am no expert on diamonds yet everyone who saw it said
that it was fascinating How it glittered and sparlfled and arrested one s at
tentionl Its cool depths cast a mystic spell and the changing shadows in it
glided mysteriously across its watery deepness
There had been a legend about it as 1t had been in the family for years
Her Grandmother could recall the superstition vaguely yet she thought it had
something to do with a curse on the person who possessed it and who revolted
against tradition and family

and she seemed to be fighting a battle within herself. This may have been
