There is saloon on Kearney street, San
Francisco, which keeps in shoecase an
abalone shell. 1t is large, about the size
of mans two outspread hands, anG in
the centre a mass of pearly accretions
takes the shape of baby's shoe. The
story is that years ago a little child in
Marin County wandered down to the
beach, slipped in between the rocks aud
was caught by the cruel mollusk, which
closed against the tiny shoe and gripped
it close to the rock Years after, when
everyone but the mother had forgotten
the story, and she sat by the Preside with
grown-up daughters about her, some
abalone fisher had found the curious shell
and put it on exhibition in the window
of his cabin. There the mother saw it,
and fastening forward, brought the other
little shoe, which shs had found cast up
By the tide on that dreadful day when
she sought up aud down the beach in
vain for her child. They placed it be-
side the wrinkled shell, aud everyone
present uttered cry of surprise, so
/ startling was the resemblance. After
wards chemist cut deity into the bright
uacre of the mass and found traces Of
leather wrapped in its shining folds.
There the lost baby's little shoe lies
hidden and changed to pearl.-Philadel-
