A HUGO TREASURE.
Romance Of the Famous writer's Ina-
prevised Inkstand.

Many valuable relics that of late
years have found their way into the
houses Of the wealthy and adorn the
shop windows of the antique dealers
are not only Interesting from their
rarity or association. but also In the
manner In which they come into the
hands of the dealer. The following
story told by dealer may Illustrate
this fact and tell how a priceless relic
came near to being thrown away:
Some years ago, when staying In the
little island OF Guernsey. In the Eng
Iish channel. which for so many years
was the residence of Victor Hugo dur
ing bis exile from France, was go
ing through one OF the old streets and
strayed into a secondhand furniture
store on the chance Of finding some
thing that might be interesting. Among
several odd pieces I found the bottom
Of an old Chippendale dressing mirror.
minus the mirror. the center Of which
had been followed out to form An
mkstand.
The oddness Of the piece attracted
ny attention and upon Questioning the
dealer be informed me that Il was q
part Of q lot Of rubbish that bad been
thrown out Of Hautsvilie HeOa where
Victor Hugo bad lived and which IL
stiil preserved intact b. hs family
Just - be left Il upon his return to
Tnncs. This old house 10 full Of costly

nor ioved 10 surround himself, and the

~ table and bed ussd By him In his
sM study at ths top Of he house In
which hs wrote % many q his wosks
and Watched the shores sf HI beloved
country, from which be thought him
self forever an exile.
This hcuss and In treasures being
- carefully guarded By the descend
ants Of Victor Hugo, I wondered how
q piece nike the inkstand could have
been thrown away and hesitated TO
believe that It really had come from
where the dealer said 1t did, the price
asked for II being but . few francs.
! decided to think II over before pur-
chasing. and In few days called
around again. Upon inquirins for the
inkstand. the dealer said. with many
apologies. that l was too late. and ex-
planned matters as best he could. Dur
ing the summer months the Hugo fam.

weeks, and prior to their arrival the

thought threw 1t away with the rub

to the dealer. A few days after my
visit to him n. Georges and Mile.
Jeanne Hugo. grandchildren Of the
author, strolled into the same store,
and, hooking around. espied the ink
stand. They Immediately inquired a.
10 how It came into his possession.
and after telling them the particulars

pryvised inkstand that Victor Hugo
he'd used for many years.
