HIS FORTUNE IN AN ORCHID.
Steward of a Sugar Steamship Be-
Heves He Has Found Lost Species.

stewart OF sugar steamship Be-
Heves He Has Found Lost Species.
The steward of the sugar steamer
Abergeldte, which, after doubling the
Cape Of Good Hope, has tied up at the
Arbuckle refinery, near the foot Of
Pearl street, Brooklyn, believes he has
specimen Of a long-lost valuable or
child.
Through the taste Of the steward for
orchids Captain Keith's dining room
became the attractive shelter of a rare
horticultural exhibit.
II the stewards surmise, based on
the description of the bloom which the
natives gave him, are correct, he ex-
poets to become 80 wealthy that he
can buy up half the top-priced orchids
In England and corner the market.
At Macassar, the chief port on the
Island Of Celebes, the Abergeldie's
steward, H. Dedekind, was presented
by a Chinese clerk with an orchid
Seeding, which he planted In gravel
within a cocoanut husk.
The Macassar Seeding is developing
finely, and In five years will break
out said the Chinaman, into white
blossoms, and may then be worth $500.
At Sourabaya a native came off
shore with palms, and the steward
asked him II he could fetch some or
chids. A few days later the native re-
turned with some parasitic seedlings
growing out Of moss on the rind of a
tree.
The collector had detached the bark
with moss and orchid. The Malay said
that he had collected the specimens
at the risk OF ais life, having robbed
the graveyard of village near Soura-
baya to get the unpromising looking
roots.
From the description of the gorgeous
bloom to come, Dedekind believes 1t to
be an orchid which accidentally arriv-
ed in England fifty years ago from an
unknown origin and was lost.

NOughts and Crosses.


WD e began to play first on
| VNW scrap of paper which l had
utilized to make diagram Of
the neighborhood to show her the rela
tive position Of our respective homes:
that Is to say, Of her home and the
little house which I had bought and
furnished In the samewhat wild hope
that she might one day by becoming
its mistress convert it into my home.
On that occasion she had treated the
diagram very flappantly by guiding my
hand to make a nought in the area
which stood for my front garden, and
her mischievous look conveyed to me
that the cipher was meant to represent
the sum of my worldly goods.
Accordingly, l responded with great
independence by making big cross
the symbol which l believe is popu-
larly supposed to denote a kiss-on
either side of the little square, which,
In my amateur drawing, stood for the
front door.
She resented this because she said l
ad-played out Of turn. She thereupon
drew the correct figure for a game that
she termed noughts and crosses and
instructed me how to play in accord
ance with rule. The figure was very
simple, merely two perpendicular
strokes crossed by two horizontal ones,
and there was no skill required, it
seemed. One merely put a nought or
cross into one of the little spaces and
did ones level best to get three in a
row, which counted one point. 1t was
very childish pastime, and yet after
that day l found myself playing it
W tn her at every opportunity; and 1t
had at least the merit, like mediocre
music In a drawing room, of affording
cover for conversation.
"I don't think" she said one day, in.
an interval which / spent sharpening
her pencil, that I'm exacting; but one
naturally expects something out of
life, either love or money, and you
