form, In a moment more, the diver LETT the
bow of the boat, his body vibrated ali in
slant in the air, and on the next the trouo-
bled waters had closed over it.
Bella Lakin stood with hands firmly clasp
ed, her eyes fixed with wild, vacant stare
upon the spot where the youth had gone
down, while every muscle and nerve IN her
frame seemed fixed as marble.
The minutes passed--one-two-
-four-fiv there was a culver in
ously upon her bosom. The color now left
her lips, and more deathly hue overspread
her counteDance.
But look! There comes shadow upon
the surface of the water~-the element breaks
and human form arises. 1t is the pearl
diver. He shakes his head smartly, and
then strikes quickly out, with one hand
firmly closed. But he goes not toward the
boat He turns his head to the shore, and
his strokes are long and stout.
Bella started eagerly forward, and then
sank back again. Her lips moved, and an
earnest prayer of thanksgiving went up to
God.
The pearl diver landed, and walked proud
ly up to where the baronet stood.
"Sir john" he said, "your long sought
prize is gained and so is mine. Here is the
PEARL"
He extended his hand as he spoke, and in
it was one shell of the huge oyster. A
flmy, muscular substance still adhered to
the shell, and in the midst of it was the
massive pearlw
sit is not the one!'' uttered Condor Sud
ham.
"No-it cannot bel' responded the baro-
net.
"Let me see!" shouted an old diver, work
ing his way through the crowd. II am the
one who first found it, and know it well,
for l not only opened the shell and thus
killed the oyster, but measured the pearl.
Ha! tits the one-the very one! and here is
where I notched the shell in opening it
Gentlemen, this is the pearln'
"Sir john" now spoke the chief magis
trate, who had stood close by the baronet
s.you cannot retract BY my soul, he must
be wretch indeed, who could snatch re-
ward from such devoted love and match
less daringw
"Aye aye!" shouted hundred tongues
ut must be the pearl" uttered the baro
net
He looked up as he spoke, and found that
his child was already clasped within hel
lovers embrace and that upon his bosom
she was weeping for frantic joy. He dared
| say no more.
Condor Sudham cast one look Of intense
chagrin upon the happy couple, and ther
turned away.
Within week, Allan Wilton held Bella
to his bosom, and she was his for life; anc
within the next week he gained permission
to fish for pearls during one year In any
place which was not yet let out. He en-
gagged his divers, and went to the place o.
which he had once spoken to Bella, and
there he went to work. People wondered
at the vast supply of pearls he gained, an
great effort was made to buy him off Blu
he maintained his exclusive right for The
season, and at the expiration of that time
he stood second only to Sir John in wealth
among all the men of the country Blu
this was only secondary in his life cup
| That one prize which he gained when h

Bangale, was the brightest jewel in hi
crown of life-the '!pearl Of great price.

An Amateur Astronom er.

From an illustrated paper in the
June Century we quote the following:
THE amateur astronomer became the
happy possessor of the new instru
ment, which proved to be one OF the
finest the Clarks had ever made. But
the problem still remained of having
his telescope permanently mounted.
In this-for he liked to do things as
simply and cheaply as possible-he
had recourse to mother wit. Procur-
ing large piece of timber he sunk it
deep in the ground In the back yard of
his little house on Vincennes Avenue,
near Ellis Park, and about two blocks
from the Dearborn Observatory.
Around this timber he built what his
friends used laughingly to call a
'cheese-box,' on the top of which he
placed q dome that could be turned
around easily at will. Most of the
work he did with his own hands; and
it was with this little telescope, thus
rudely mounted, that the modest, quiet
shorthand reporter made his first i'm
| portant discoveries of double stars -
discoveries which few years later at
tracted the attention and commanded
tbs admiration of the leading scienti-
fic men in Europe.
Gall this time he went on with his
regular work, was at his place in court
every day, working the usual business
hours. In the evening he went into
his scheese-box' and studied the heav-
ems till daylight drove him to his bed.
| No wonder that when a visitor, per-
haps from Europe, went in search OF
this sleepless, sharp-sighted astrono-
raer to pay his respects and make a
visit to his observatory he was told by
the street children that Mr.. Burnham
was "queer man, who lived nights
in that cheese-box." His neighbors
generally knew but little about him,
and did not know what to make OF the
odd-looking structure in his back yard;
and younger people associated the
star gazer with vague ideas of NEGRO
NANCY, fortune-telling. and magical in
carnations.

ORIGIN OF CHAMPAGNE.
The Discovery OF the Effervescent
Beverage Purely Accidental.

The Discovery of the Effervescent
Beverage Purely Accidental.
Champagne was discovered or invent
ed by accident, like so many other
things, says a writer in Lippincott's
Magazine. About 1868 one Perignon
was cellarer in Benedictine convent
in Hautvillers, Champagne. Provi-
dence had evidently marked him out for
that position, and bestowed on him a
strong head and discriminating
palate. The products of TIE neighbor-
ing vineyards were various, and, like a
true Benedict, Dom Perignon hit upon
the idea of marrying" the various
wines. He bad noticed that one kind
OF soil impaired fragrance, another gem
crosby. and discovered that white
wine could be made from the blacklist
grapes which would keep far better
than the wine from white grapes.
Moreover, the happy thought struck
him that piece of cork was a more
suitable stopper than the fax dipped in
oil which had heretofore served that
purpose. His wine became famous and
its manufacture extended throughout
Champagne. Then he happened upon
a still greater discovery--how to make
an etfervescent wine, wine that burst
out of the bottle and overlooked the
glass, whose fragrance and eXhilarating
qualities were doubled by this process.
At that time the glory of the Roi Solei
was on the wane, and with it the splen-
dor of the court of Versailles. The
king, for whose special benefit Liquors
had been invented, found a CLEAN of his
youthful energy as he slipped the
creamy-foaming vintage that enlivened
his dreary tete-a-tete with Nine. Main
tenor. 1t found its chief patrons, how
ever, among the band of gay young
roysterers, the future roues of the
regency, whom the Due d'Orleans and
the Due de Vendome had gathered
round them at the Palais Royal and at
Anet. AT one of the famous suppers in
the latter place the Marquis Of Sillery
who had turned his sword into prun-
ing-kGife and devoted himself TO the
cultivation of his paternal vineyards
first produced the wine which for two
centuries has made his name famous
among wine-drinkers. At given sig
nal dozen blooming damsels, scantily
arrayed as Bacchanals, loaded the table
with bottles. They were hailed with
rapture, and henceforth champagne be-
came an indispensable adjunct to all
petite soupers.

The Last Straw.

The four-year-old son OF summer
resident in a Long Island resort was in
vited to Sunday school one afternoon.
The little fellow was growing impatient,
as the exercises were rather long, when
the clergyman interrupted them TO bap-
tie an infant. This was more than our
youngster bargained for, so slipping
unnoticed freq his seat, just as the
water was being poured on the baby's
head, he marched up the aisle, and tug
ging at the clergyman's robe until he
attracted his attention, said I'm tired,
and | guess I'll go home, I'll come
some other day when you don't have 20
wash children.

The Hes of B.aItY-

There are number OF men," re-
marked the head of big printing
house yesterday, "who actually make
living off the society girls. Whether
it is a Legitimate living or not the pub
lie can Judge. The girls don't know
anything about it, but they are source
of profit all the same. To begin with,
there are the scurvy scribblHrs Of the
society papers who sell their para
graphs about New York's pretty women
at a cent word, and who manage to
exc moro or less twisted and unsatis-
factory living out of the pastime. Then
there are the photographers and tobacco
and soap decorators, who take the pref
ty faces OF the pretty women of New
York, color them into allegorical shape,
and serve them up to the boundless
millions of the country for the purpose
of decorating their wares. The instant
one of these girls becomes at all noto-
rious, like the Duchess of Marlborough,
Lady Randolph Churchill, Mrs. Potter;
or any one of the others who have
jumped into fame, the cigarette manu-
facturers send a counterfeit present
ment of their faces broadcast through
the world. Then there is sale of
their photographs by the shopkeepers
along Broadway. A further illustra-
ton of the profit is seen in our weekly
papers, which devote a good deal of
space and some mighty good engrav-
ings in describing the beauties of New
York, so there is good side after all to
the society gossip of the American
press, since it puts bread into the
mouths of so many Woodworking and
Industrious dealers in personalities. -

Taking one consideration with an.

Taking one consideration with an-
other the lot of the millionaire can
not be said to be a happy one. In his
lifetime he is vexed and pestered more
than other men. He is expected to
pay his taxes like the rest of the world,
and though he has hitherto evaded it,
still the matter costs him much time
and thought, and he is compelled to
waste some of his substance in bribing
officials. Then again there are incon-
siderate persons who insist upon kick
ing up a fuss about monopolies and
trusts, and other sources from which
he derives nine-tenths of his immense
income. These attacks compel him to
give subsidies to those newspaT ers
who are willing to defend him and to
abuse and calumniate his enemies.
Then he is eternally bothered by the
solicitations of agents of worthy chart
ties, who seem TO think he is bound to
subscribe because he is rich. So he
Is far from happy during his lifetime.
But what are these troubles to those
which beset his poor body when he is
dead and embalmed and coffined and
hid away in mausoleum? Then
burglars endeavor to steal his remains
and hold them for ransom. William
II. Vanderbilt's resting place on Stat
