THE MYSTERY OF THE DIAMOND BOX There was an old lady, who lived at the edge of the woods, near a town. She had a box in which she kept her diamonds. She did not have to lock her doors or v indows because of her dog, Beatle. Beatlo was a big dog and had a lot of hair over his eyes and he howled a lot. Beatle would not let anybody come into the yard without making a lot of fuss. One day when the 3.ady was going to a party, her diamond box was gone J Her servants said someone must have taken it, but she said nobody could have been in the house because Beatle would have howled. The next day the box was on the front steps ! The old lady said the burglar must have brought it back. When she went to get her diamond box for some jewels it was gone again. A little boy came in and said Beatle was digging in the lawn. The lady said Beatle never buries bones . They went out and started digging where Beatle was digging. They soon found the diamond boxi They formed a jury, the old woman, the gardner the servants, and Beatle of course. They thought after a lot of discussion that Beatle did not know any better. She thought after that she had better kwep the doors locked, but if Beatle liked diaraonds so well he would have them in his collar.
