M. OPITZ

Bruxelles


A Brussels jeweler, M. Opitz, attended to two well-dressed men in his shop the other day and displayed for their inspection several quality gems, among which was a $8,500 brilliant. The couple inspected the stone minutely and agreed to return next day and purchase it. Shortly afterward it was noticed the brilliant seemed to have lost some of its fire and a closer examination showed that it was not the original brilliant at all but a piece of cut glass that had been cleverly substituted for it.
