asked for a loan of 20 forins on it to
pay the debt. He said the pearl was an
old keepsake with which he parted most
unwillingly. Moved rather by pity than
by the value of the collateral, she adj
vanced the sun desired, although she
knew from general experience that If
the pearl was genuine it must be quite
valuable, but she thought it to be an inn
itation only. 1t is barely worth while
to add other data. The telegraph was
called into requisition and the truth of
her statement established.
The history Of the pearl was as fol-
lows: The father of the young farmer
had been a chamber valet of Count
Louis Batthanyi, the minister president
of the revolutionary government of
Hungary, in 1948. The count wore the
pearl as a cravat pin, and a few hours
before his death-as is known he was
shot in Pest by order of a military
court martial-he presented it to his
faithful servant, who under no cir
cumstances ever parted with it. AT his
death his son took the pearl out of the
setting, which he sold, keeping the
pearl and parting from it as recited.
The pearl itself had been stolen about
$50 years ago out Of the English crown,
which had contained three of them.
Two large diamonds went with it at
the same time. The English govern
ment had been looking for it for $50
years, but to no avail. Nothing was
ever heard of it until this accident. In
what it drifted into Count Bat
thanyi's possession will doubtless re-
main a secret forever. He had most
probably bought it of some antiquarian.
The English government redeemed
the pearl, paying for it the offered re-
ward of 60, 500, a handsome sum,
which the girl divided with the farm
er-but not divided, because the his
tory of the pearl says that the two con
cluded to keep the money together
best done by getting married.
Eyes, added my gray haired inform
ant, "many jewels and pearls have
had their eventful history, and during
the many years that 1 have been en-
gagged in dealing in precious stones a
good many of their ups and downs and
mishaps-theft, arson, murder and all
the crimes on the statute books-have
come to my knowledge. I propose to
write a book about these adventures
sooner or later, and | assure you it will
contain entertaining and startling read
ing matter. Jewellers Circular.

Gathered in golden sheaves.

LOVE AT PLAY.

Have you forgotten how W. used to weave
Our childish fancies for the coming yearsf
l in my pride would have you then believe
That life meant love, and love could hold nd
tears.
We built our castles in the shifting sand;
crowned you with the f1ow'r that fastest

We wandered through an all enchanted land;
We loved the sun and never dreamt of shade
Shall we again be children and forget
How once we parted and how dark our night
In that fair pathway let our feet be set
Which leads us back into the land of light.
Well weave fresh garlands on that golden
shore,
But-do you whisper something in my ear
While upon mine your heart beats close once
moref
Why play at love, you say, when love is herei

The street called i'By and By is smooth,
And down a hill it windeth,
And he who starts its rocked way
Much cure for trouble fndeth,
But at the entrance is a sign
"Here put away endeavor,
For down the street called by and By
You reach the house called tNeverp"
The house called Never" stands below
A grim and CHASTITY tower,
Whose broken windows, shattered roof
And ruined turrets lower,
While from the easement gaunt despair
A warning shrieks forever:
"Take heedi The street called by and By
Leads to the house called 'Neverl'"
What matter though the street be fair,
And flowers tempt my s~traying,
Though strife be hard and rest be sweet
