them pointed to stone in tray and
said: There's an opal; please let me
see ii, and the salesman handed il
out. The second man was Mortified.
The supcrstitution about misfor-
tune or bad luck lurking some
where in this beautiful stone" said
the salesman. "has well-nigh vanished
The fact Is there Is notion now eX-
tant that the opal is a talisman. So
YOU can see there is nothing i'm this
idea of stones being one thing or an
other 80 far as good luck or bad luck
is concerned. Ii there had been any
thing in it the opal would be rs un-
lucky. now as it was in the beginning. :"
What you say may be true" said
the man who had asked to see the
stone. II have no superstition about
the opal. and never had any. But

dealers in the city, who would not
