Inhabitants of the western part of

There is a certain family in this city
which has until quite lately been
haunted by an opal. The unlucky
stone came into the family some years
ago. 1t was worn by it's first possessor
for some time during which the wearer
was the victim of considerable misfor-
tune. He disposed of the opal attribut-
ing his i'll luck to that i'll omened gem.
1t was given to a relative and brought
with it disappointment and bereave-
ment. 1t was soon again disposed of
and was sent thus from hand to hand
bringing tears and trouble wherever it
went. Finally the Inflated jewel was
taken to jeweler and sold with brief
account of the calamity it had wrought.
1t went for mere song as it was held
as valueless on account of the demon it
possessed The jeweler was secretly
glad to get it for he had no supersti-
tions of the evil working qualities OF
the opal. But it brought i'll luck even
to him for when he came to examine it
it wasn't an opal at all and was abso-
lutely worthless.
