was my wedding present from father,
Miss Nelly remember the night was
married. Everybody wished me health
and prosperity. but father, he says:
Health and prosperity are mighty good
things. but / wish for my children hon

Yes. those were his exact words. 1t is
hard to part with the last thing L have

lips with sob. and handed it to Nelly.
Don't think I'm not Than kfbul to you,
Miss Nelly" she said. because I'm
sorry at parting with it. You have given
rae six times lis value. God bless you,
You've kind heart. Nay God deal
with you as you've dealt with poor,
desOlate old woman"
As Nelly hurried home with her treas
ure, these words kept ringing in her
ears and beating at her heart. Some
how she did not feel as triumphant over
the bargain as she had expected. But
the next day she packed her bowl and
took the first train for the city of New
Orleans.
why. it's unique-it's worth it's

ecstaticaIly. Where did you pick il
up? What did you give for it?''
"Oh. l got it at a bargain" was all
Nelly would say.
There was netting of Mrs. Daver
ports friends at her house that night
to inspect the bowl. One of them, Mr..
Wentworth. gentleman of large for
l.. i i l..
one of the most costly in the United
States. was enthusiastic in his admira-
ton. Il never saw but one like this
before. and ii was in private cOllec-
ton in Japan. 1t would be priceless il
it weren't for that chip on the edge
and that brown stain: but even as il is.
it's worth 5000 to any collector, and
I'd be glad to give that or more to own
it. if you ever care to part with it, Miss
Nelly"
That night. when Nelly lay s!eepless
on her bed. the words of old Mrs. Graves
kept ringing in her ears. And he SAYS:
I wish for them honesty and fair deal
ing" and then the words so fervently
spoken: May God deal with you as
you've dealt with a poor. desolate OLD
womant"
When she rose in the morning her
mind was made up. She told her aunt
the story. coneealing nothing of her
own cupidity.
And now. aunt" she said. Il look
upon myself as only the custodian Of
the bowl. / am going to get all can
for it, and make. so far as l can. the
poor old woman comfortable for the
rest of her life
When il was found that the bowl was
for sale, the bidding was fast and fu-
rious among the collectors; but none
went higher than Mr.. Wentworth. and
it became his property for $500.
The story of the destitute woman who
had owned it became known in the
circle. and another hundred was added
TO the fund for her support. When Nelly
told Mrs Graves what had been done,
the old woman exclaimed, in devout
wonder:
sOmy blessed Lord, thou hast worked
a miracle for me in my great need.

number of them write very badly and
not even pursue an intelligent straight
line as the shortest distance between

ner," said cotton buyer of this city
when somebody remarked the quaint
little trinket attached TO his watch
chain. The lOcket was of gold, and
an ordinary five-cent piece was set in
the lid. surrounded by circle of col
ored stones. The effect was odd and
not inartistic. The story is briefly
this" continued the speaker. about
three years ago l was on street ear in
Chicago. when one of the passengers,
a young woman. discovered that she
had no money in her purse. The con-
ductor was disposed to be ugly about
it. and, of course, / insisted on paying
the fare. giving the girl one of my
cards at her very urgent request. Orer
a year elapsed and the incident had En-
tirely faded from my mind. when one
day | was Walking along St. Charles
street and was hailed by lady from a
cab She proved to be the same one
whose car fare l had paid in Chicago
and had recognized me Immediately, al
though | had hard work recalling the
original encounter. She told me excited
~ that she had lost my card on ier way
home and had been on the lookout for
me ever since, and also that she was in
the city with some relatives en- route
home after trip to California. While
she was talking she was searching her
purse for a nickel, but had no change.
l laughed. told her not to bother about
il, and gave her another card. \ few
weeks later 1 received this locket, with
a very charming letter, which 1 prize
highly. l have had remarkable good
luck ever since I have worn the little
gift, and 1 am superstitious enough to
regard it as a sort of mascot. BY a
queer coincidence the coin CHANGED to
bear the date of the year of my birth"
