THE MYSTERIOUS STONE.
J. Byron i'll Twentieth Century Review.

]. Byron i'll Twentieth Century Review.
DR.. Orton was young and prosperous
physician with taste for curious art OBJ
jects and antiquities having sentimental
flavor. He had in his possession, proper
ly authenticated, one of the thirteen pieces
of silver for which Judas Iscariot betrayed
his Master, and had always wanted and
had made diligent search for the club with
which Cain killed Abel But the liveliest
inanimate object he ever came across was
what he now calls the mysterious stone.
1t was during one of his rides on gold
mining expedition in the mountains through
the southern part of Arizona, that he dis
covered cave which had evidently been
abandoned for several hundred years. He
found several relics of an early tribe and
perhaps some of the cave dwellers had
lived there Among other things he picked
up curious looking stone.
The cave was near the top of very
high mountain in an unfrequented spot and
very hard to reach. Something peculiar
in the formation of the rock at this place
attracted the Doctors attention and after
some very difficult climbing, he succeeded
in reaching the place. The stone, with
other things, was in an old earthen pot,
very much corroded. Besides this stone
there were a number of coins, beads, arrow

LUCK AND LAzINESS.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Luck tapped upon cottage door,
A gentle, quiet tap,
And Laziness, who lounged within,
The cat upon his lap,
Stretched out his slippers to the fire
And gave sleepy yawn;
"Oh, bother! let him knock againr'
He said! but Luck was gone.
Luck tapped again, more family still,
Upon another door,
Where Industry was hard at work
Mending his cottage floor.
The door was opened wide at once;
"Come in!'' the worker cried,
And Luck was taken by the hand
And fairly pulled inside.
He is still there-a wondrous guest
From out whose magic hand
Fortune flows fast-but Laziness
Can never understand
How Industry found such friend.
"Luck never came my way"
He sighs, and quite forgets the knock
Upon his door that day.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1904-05-21

heads, etc., mute relics perhaps of some
old chieftain who had fought, loved and
roughed it hundreds of years ago. The
coins were defaced and illegible, but the
doctor judged they might date back to the
first Spanish period or earlier. Doubtless
the owner had looked on them as fetiches
and talismans, and had left them there
when he had himself departed this life.
Or some war among the tribes had killed
or driven the owner away, and they had
been forgotten.
Among all these pitiable trinkets, the
one that riveted the doctor attention was
this odd-shaped stone, about the size of
lemon, roughly hewn and very grimy. He
put his trouvaille in a sack, covering up
any tracks he had made, and left for camp
somewhat disgusted with his booty When
he arrived he decided that there was moth
ing worth preserving in the rather dingy
assortment of relics, save the curious look
ing stone. This he put in his grip and
took it with him to his home in the east
He practically forgot all about his booty
until, one morning, in going through his
grip, he came across the stone For some
reason or other, which he could not ex-
plain, the stone had an uncanny fascina-
tion about it. Upon closer examination
he found it was rather peculiar looking, sol
he washed it off under tap in the labor
atory and it at once blossomed into some
thing beautiful and unusual 1t had al
limpid blush tinge with little white fecks,
like tiny clouds in a summer sky. On
holding it to his eye he discovered that it
was practically transparent! He discov-
cred, moreover, something that made the
"x-rays'' look like the proverbial thirty
cents. Through the stone he could pierce
the walls of the house and clearly see what
was going on in the street.
The doctor laid the stone aside to think
over the astounding revelation. 1t savored
too much of the "Arabian Nights that he
required time to get used to it. 1t was
several hours later when he ventured to
pick it up again and pursue the investiga,
ton to its logical limits He was still
holding the uncanuy object in his hand
when one of his intimates came in to see
him. The friend looked about with some
annoyance and muttered 'Humph, Orton
not here. That stupid servant told me
L d find him in the laboratory After
waiting few minutes he picked up his
hat and was about to leave when the doc
tor laid the stone on his desk.
''Hello, DOCTOR said the astonished
visitor, "where did you spring from?'

just wondering what could all you that you
