A Masonic Badge $500 Reward

On a recent fine Sunday evening,
party of gentlemen sat on the steps
of the Hale House discussing various
topics in a social manner. Among
the number was a noble looking man
of about sixty, with long flowing
beard, in which the silver threads
predominated. He smoked a long
stemmed pipe almost constantly, and
was really the central figure Of the
group, although ho had been father
silent.

one. Turning to your correspondent,
who was wearing a Masonic emblem
of peculiar form, he said. "Yourpin

enjoying q boat ride, with but one
attendant when the boat struck some
obstacle and was upset; after much
labor and great danger, the attendant
rescued his majesty, and as a mark
of gratitude he presented the gallant
friend with the jewel, upon condi-
ton that if himself should ever be
rescued from danger he should give
it over to his rescuer, and he too
must be instructed to do likewise, or
