A VALUABLE VENUS,

a Plaster of-Paris Statue That Had
Served as Safe-Deposit Vault.
Pygmalion, the ancient artist, could
not be more overioyed when his statue
became transformed into lovely
woman than the heirs of the late Nine.
Artaud. who recently died in Paris,
when they discovered considera BILE
fortune carefully hidden away in the
Interior of a common plaster-of-paris
reproduction of the famous Venus of
NJ 10. The history of the sudden find is
curious and ente raining. Nine. Artaud
5ied with GU t making WILL and, as she
had no n o tary, her children and grand
children appealed to a financial adj
wiser of the deceased, who used occa-
Sionally to put her money out in stock
exchange speculations. That the old
lady had left a fair share of lucre
was certain, and as not silver nor
bank note could be found anywhere
In her rooms the heirs came to the
natural conclusion that the financial
agent must have been intrusted by Nine.
Artaud with her money before she made
her exit from the world. The agent
declared in the most positive manner
that he had received nothing for long
time from Nine. Artaud, who, feeling
her end approaching, gave up bourse
speculation.
This did not satisfy the heirs, who
plumply accused the agent of having
appropriated what did not belong to
him, but as they had no proofs against
him they were unable to begin legal
proceedings. They accordingly set to
work to divide the furniture and general
belongings of the deceased between
them, The dining-room and salon
chairs, tables and trappings were
in empire style and worth from
$1,000 to $4,000, but, as it would
be impossible to obtain more than
half their value, the discomfort among
the heirs increased. A lottery of the
effects having been organized, an old
statue representing the goddess of love
fell to one of the daughters of the de-
ceased. who was about to break it with
vexation, when one of her relatives pro.
posed to examine it to see if by any
chance it were a rare work of art The
base of the statue was covered over un.
derneath with oil cloth, and when the
covering was removed out tumbled a
choice collection of bank notes, bonds,
securities and obligations, the whole
amounting in value to about $40, 900.

piously preserved by the family now as

"A well-known novelist of this city
was frequently telling how he finds his
plots. Il have found nearly all of them
in real life by intercourse with people
in all sorts of society. There are no
plots to be drawn from the imagination
that are equal in interest to those that
can be learned by knowing the actual
experiences of many of our men and
women. Here in New York you can
hear Of plenty of lovelorn damsels and
bold SWANS; you can hear of marvellous
adventures; you, can easily find in tho
actual ex perienoes of your acquaintance
all the material needed for tragical
tales or humorous yarns. Why, the best
plot ever wrote up was not of my in
vention, but was in the story of her own
life given me by my cook. IN. Y. Sun.
