changed. The cashier counted out $50
and then spoke to the book-keeper
The latter spoke to the janitor, and
this individual put on his hat and

about $75, and charged it to him on 4

the Eastern man on the street, he ex-
planned:
Perhaps that transaction looked
queer to you, but five years ago made
up my mind that if my cashier took

Inc grandames tell how Captain
Kydd came here often, ''as he sailed,
as he sailed" and there are legends Of
other pirates quite as fierce and free as
he. The Star Island used to be haunt
ed by beautiful specter with long
white robes and golden tresses reach
ing to her heels, who used to come out
of some undiscovered cavern at dawn,
and shading her eyes with hand that
was as white and beautiful as lily's
bosom, gaze off upon the sea in hope
less expectancy of clipper that sailed
away and never came back again.
The story goes that bloody-hearted
old pirate being pursued by cruiser.
brought his beautiful mistress here and
left her while he went out to battle,
telling her that by dawn he would be
back again. but he came not not even
till now. She died of starvation, but
her faithful spirit still comes to the
summit of the island as the sun rises
each morning, to meet the corsair who
never returned.
There are eight of the islands, the
smallest being rs large, or rather rs
small, as city building lot, and the
largest containing only a couple of
hundred acrcs-nothing but bare, life
less rocks, carved by tho incessant
waves into strange grotesqueness, and
covered by no vegetation except low
clinging vines and the New England
blueberry. Four of the islands are in
habited, the largest. the Appledore,
bears a hotel and few cottages. Star
Island has another hotel and small
settlement of fishermen; third has o
few tishermen's huts, and the third has
bold, white lighthouse springing out
of its crests. They were discovered
by Captain John Smith, the friend of
Pocahontas. who in 1914 explored the
New England coast in an open boat,
and spent some time here making re-
pairs and resting.
On Star Island stands the only mon
ument erected in America to Captain
John Smith. 1t is rude affair--a
prismatic-shaped shaft of marble, upon
a pedestal of sandstone, inscribed at
length with the record of his valorous
deeds, and some cyclopedias say he is

There are various preparations tor
whitening the hands which can be
used without harm. Glycerine, vase
line, cold cream or mutton tallow rub
bed in will do much to soften them.
The chroniclers of Queen Anne's time
had receipt which is at least harm
less. The white of an egg with q
grain of alum dissolved in it was
spread on the hands, and they were
then wrapped up in old linen over
night, and this treatment was guaran-
teed to make soft and fapby hands firm
and ciean-looking. Oatmeal and corn
meal, both dry and moist may be used
with good effect. The roughest and
ugliest pair of hands may be made
smooth and soft, If not white, in one

well in warm water every night and
rub them we'll with whichever of these
simple preparations suits her best, and
then incase them in a pair of loose

The Legend or the Star Island.

During the troublesome times before
and subsequent to the revolution the
Isles Of Shoals, off the coast of New
Hampshire, were the resort and hiding
places of the freebooters who haunted
the Northern coast and these silent
rocks. if they could speak. would tell
many tale of bloody cruelty and
gloomy wrong. The pirates used to
come hore to divide and hide their booty,
and melt up the silverplate they cap
tured from the colonists along the
coast.
For q long time it was supposed that
bushels of doubloons was buried in the
gaping crevices of the rocks, or the
little caves that have been eaten out of
the ledges by the restless tide; but the
place was thoroughly searched by sew
eral generations of fishermen, and
nothing more valuable than rusty
cutlass or y bursted blundcrbuss was
ever found.
