Sarcey's FearfuIIy Bad Luck With
Custocians of His Books,

Francisque Sarcev had splendid Ii.

and tragic, that overlook the librarians
who successfully looked after the late
critics books.
The first was released convict. who

men in practice. He yielded to the
plea. Unfortunately his protege car
RED the ethical cure too far. for one
day he decamped, taking with him the
best of M. Sarcey's good books.
The second was distinctly minor
dramatist, Debrit by name and debris
by nature. He had worn himself into
an incurable melancholy by persistent
addiction to the humorist vaudeville
habit. Sarcey saw that abstinence
from further composition could only be
secured if the man had some light oc.
cupatton with living wage. He es-
tablished him In the vacancy left by
the convict A few days later as the
critic, returning from the theater, drew
his carriage up before his door he
heard smash Of shivered glass above
him, followed a minute later by what
he no longer dared to call q dull thud
on the pavement below. The woe be-
gone librarian, wearied Of life, had
thrown himself out Of the window.
With his last breath he cursed Sarcey
as his murderer.
Third In order was one Bernard,
gladstone youth, whose blithe tempera-
ment promised relief from the gloom
cast by his predecessor. In the height
of his glee he pulled out all the books
so as to rearrange them in more log
ical order on the shelves. He stacked
them IN craggy pyramids all over the
floor. But 1t happened to be the spe-
cial day Of the week whereon Sarcey
was wont to have a few of his the
atrical friends, male and female, to
lunch with him. After lunch a dance
followed as matter of course. Moth.

The object which the Chinese ex

before the occurrence Of the events
related above. He had returned from
a stroll through the bazaars Of the
old city, and as he entered the cool
veranda of his bungalow he felt In
his pocket for his matchbox. He had
drawn forth the, green god. Where
it came from, how it got there, he
never knew. He had found it there
after his return from the bazaar, and
as he looked at it curiously, examining
the delicate carving Of the hideous
face, he experienced feeling Of rare
exultation in its possession. He could
not tell why he rejoiced at the dis.
covery Of the god In his pocket, but
he was jealousy careful that no one
should know that he possessed it. He
carried it hidden away in an inner
pocket Of his vest, and the small fiat

Told me the story. It's an old trick
with Yung. The image certainly pos

into the pocket of a gullible foreign

no more money to pay with, and then
we lose 1t for the last time. That's
what happened to me. You remember

Winston nodded.

INDIAN MARRIAGES.
Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes.

Peculiar Rites Of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes.
Marriage among the Topi, tribe Of
the Pueblo Indians, is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of girl find 1t e1pedient for her to
get married, they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified. The girl goes
to the home Of the groom's parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks, while the groom makes a kind.
Of sash for the bride. Then one morn-
ing at sunrise they both battle their
heads In cold water, which completes
the ceremony. There have been in
stances Of the groom's refusing to, go
through the performance, which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later he has yielded and had his head
bathed-
elaborate and impressive, but then the
Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg
ular tariff on Navajo girl entering
the port Of matrfmony for the first
time is twelve horses. On the second
occasion the tax is nine horses, while
subsequent entries are free.
This is not purchase money, but Is
merely a tribute Of respect to a
mOther-in-law and token of apprecta-
ton Of the care and expense involved
In bearing and rearing the lady, a
recognition not unworthy Of considers
ton by civilized grooms. On the other
hand, and deserving of great condem-
nation, is that law Of many tribes, un-
written, but of much sanctfty, that a
man and his mother-in-law shall never
meet after the ceremony.-A. W. Dim
ock in Outing Magazine.

parted feeling of utter satisfaction
with himself and the world Then he
returned to America, and the first day
he was in San Francisco he had lost
it. 1t had disappeared from the curio
cabinet in his study, and the loss of
it fell upon him like blow. He could
not have told what fascination It held
for him. He only knew that he want
ed it above all other things and that
he would move heaven and earth, If
possible, to recover it.
I will not relate what means he en-
ployed to trace the theft Of the green
god. 1t is sufficient to say that he
traced it across the Pacific to Shang-
hal, followed it to the old city, down to
that little curio shop of Yung's, and
finally bought 1t back at an absurd
price. He could not prosecute the
thieves. for they were unknown to
him, and the impassfve Yung was ST.
lent regarding the manner In which it
had come into his possession. Winston
felt strange reluctance to admit his
possession Of the god, and so he return
ed to America with the god securely
concealed in his belt There it had re-
NAMED for six months, and then one
day it disappeared again.
Drawn as by magnet across the
ocean to that little shop in old Shang-
hal again, Winston dropped his business
and again trailed the image to the
hands of Yung, paying an exorbitant
price for it, only to return to America
and lose it third time.
For the third time he had recovered
his treasure, and now he Rugged it
lovingly to his breast and gloated over
it with the eye of lover. The dull
green stone seemed to glow with life
as he looked. A thousand glfnts of light
sprang from the carving. He was still
staring at it when the carriage drew
up before the Shanghai club. He thrust
the image into his pocket and ran up
the steps and straight into the arms Of
Miller.
Winston, by all that's good to look
upon!' exclaimed the latter heartily as
he wrung the hands Of the tall Amer

Coral Islands,

A coral island is sometimes torn to
pieces by a great storm, showing that
islands disappear in more ways than
one. This happened to an atoll In the
Marshall group In 1905, when 1t hap
pened to be in the path Of a terrible
hurricane. Waves about forty feet
high swept over the hapless speck Of
land, carrying every particle Of YER
dure and every form Of life into the
sea, and not human being was saved.
The upper part Of the coral was bro
ken of and swept away, and few
days later nothing but the placid wa
tiers Of the ocean was seen where the
atoIl had stood.
