A wellsknown jeweler said: al am
often asked why / keep that old>fash-
Toned silver horseshoe in my showcase.
1t certainly does look ont of place
among my watches; ii would not be at
home among the diamonds either, and
it would be equally a stranger in the
case with the earrings and breast-pins.
1t was made in my fathers shop in
Switzerland about forty years ago,
when / was a boy, and i made it,
81 made il out of silver franc after
i had been ut the bench less than a
month. A little French girl gave the
coin to me, and / fashion I'd this horse
shoe with few tools that my father
would allow me to use. 1t was a breast
pin once, and after it was made the
girl wore it. About five years after
wards brought the horseshoe and the
French girl TO this country with me.
She was my wife then
IL had a hard fight with the world at
first. We went West. Then we went
South. At last we came here. After
this we prospered. All this time my
wife wore the horseshoe. / shouldn't
say all the time, but most of the time.
Once she lost it. The same night my
RhCib NhN puihtus nt ntAl uul II DON
brought the pin to me and asked me
how much it was worth as old silver.
He had found it on the street. L bought
1t back for five times its value without
question.
Twenty years ago my wife died
Among the last things she did was to
ask for this pin. She gave it TO me and
told me to keep it always. 1t had been
the means of our marrying, and had
always brought us good fortune. With
two exceptions, it has never passed out
of my possession since.
When my eldest daughter was
married she wore the pin on her
wedding dress. She left for Europe
the next day, and forgot to return it
10 me before she started. She had not
been gone week before my cash
Ter disappeared with $1,000 in cash
and left large deficit in my bank
balance. He was my nephew, and
would have been my partner some
day. During that month the grass
hopper plague destroyed the crops in
Kansas and / lost several thousand
more in bad debts am not supersti-
tious, but l cabled to my daughter for
the pin and it came back by the first
steamer.
"The next exception was five years
ago last summer. In cleaning out the
showcases one morning a new clerk
threw the pin among the scraps in the
workshop to be melted up, thinking it
had no value. When 1 missed it.. it
could not be found. The shop was
thoroughly searched.
81 advertised for it, offering liberal
reward, and my porter returned it to
me and claimed the $50. He had found
it, so he said, in the ash-box in front of
the store. This was one week after I
had lost it. During that time my daueh-
ter's husband was killed in railroad
accident in Illinois. Since then
this old horseshoe is in the case, where
it has lain for twenty long years Every
day and every night it goes into the
safe
NO / am not superstitious, no one
can accuse me of that weakness; but il
would take more money than most men
have to buy that pin. don't believe
in luck. i know that losing the pin had
nothing TO do with my disasters. but /
won't part with it all the same. "-JeaU-
