The architect's ring
It was very beautiful! It was worth 15,000 francs.

Mr. Molvar di Magzmagyar, an architect, was the owner and he wore it proudly on the ring finger of his left hand.

The brilliance that adorned it sparkled with a thousand lights." Official supplier to European navies, specializing in the construction of lighthouses, Mr. Molvar, while unrolling his plans, placed his left ring finger exactly in place of the lantern, and the oceans became luminous! This jewel had been given to him by a member of the Serbian royal family and when he praised the purity of its brilliance and the importance of its weight he called it: my thirty-six carat Georgewitch.
There was another source of clarity in the architect's life: it was his friend Yvonne Lechoux, known as Rhodyane, a distinguished artist at the Théâtre Femina and the Bouffes-Parisiens. To Magzmagyar's great delight, the ring and the star combined their rays. When he passed along the boulevard, with one on his finger and the other near him, the smoked glass merchants did a roaring trade. There was not a single member of the honorable corporation of architects who was as fortunate as Mr. Molvar whose health, moreover, and for the sake of local color was also resplendent.

On the night of July 24 to 25 last, at the Chateau Caucasien, around three o'clock in the morning. Mr. Magzmagyar, about to order his twelfth bottle of champagne, noticed the disappearance of the marvelous jewel. He accused Rhodyane who had spent the evening in his company, of having stolen it from him. Energetically denials were opposed to him by the artist. But during the days that followed, the architect returned to the charge, claimed that in the presence of Mr. Bankey, chief director of the Chancellery at the Hungarian legation and Mr. Colmar, international jurist, Miss Rhodyane had made a confession.
He filed a complaint and his companion was arrested. Mr. Marigny, the investigating judge, has since heard the plaintiff at length, who, assisted by Mr. Roudenko, declared that he was a civil party. Then he confronted him with Rhodyane, the latter who chose Mr. Joseph Python as her defender, vehemently protested her innocence, and accused her friend of slanderous denunciation for reasons of jealousy.
Mr. Bankey, whose testimony appears to be most important, invoked his diplomatic duties to ask the investigating judge to come and hear him at the Hungarian Legation. This hearing will take place shortly.
Another witness, Mr. Tabuteau, owner of the Château Caucasien, claimed to have seen the ring on Rhodyane's finger, but he added, in full view of everyone.
This story proves that a Hungarian can more easily be a "magyar" than a "magnat ... nime!"
