IN Vienna" The man with tbs pearl
left the shop. The following day be
presented himself to Blsdermann. who
did not let h,m talk long before having
him arrested. To the polio. authori,ies
he declared that bis name was Isaac
Roth. and that he had kept pawn
brokers' shop in Grosswardein. He bad
heard noise in the house next to his,
and having inquired the cause of it, he

the effects of poor man BY the nameo
Gyuri we're about to be- sold for the non.
| payment OF taxes to the amount of twenty
forms. This Guyri gave the black p- ar
in pawn to the Jew. asking the latter to
pay his arrears OF taxes, which Isaac
Roth Immediately did. Inquiries ~
Grosswardsin confirmed this declaration.
The party named Gyuri had formerly
been the favorite domestic of Count
Louis Bathyany. and the Count short
time before his death had gwen Gynr,
his cravat pin. A short time after this
Gyuri, finding hlmself in want, sold the
PIN. but kept the pearl. which be thought
OF no value, as keepsake. This pearl,
as the sequel proved, had been stolen.
About $50 years ago three pearls were
abstraoted from the British crown. These
were the only black pearls that were
known to exist at that time. and all the
endeayors of the English Government
TO recover them had been fruitless.
When informed Of Isaac Roth's happy
find, the English Government immed,.

the hands of Count B.,hysny. Of course
no one could tell. Tue probability il

However this may ba, Isaac Roth, th,
Jew Of Grosswasdein, owes to this pear
a handsome little fortune.
