stores of gold and goods from plundered cities
on the mainland, The place safe from all
pursuers and there the pirates divided their spells
and refitted for new raids But in all the chron-
ices of the buccaneers there is little mention of
Curacao, and no record of its having been
attacked by them. From 1884 when the Holland
ers apparently found it without an owner the
island Dutch possession Thrifty merchants
settled there, and it requires no stretch of the
imagination to suppose that their immunity from
raids due to the excellent facilities they af
forded the pirates for dsposing of loot The cities
of the mainland and of a dozen islands of the
Caribbean were repeatedly ravaged and burned
and the inhabitants subjected to torture and mas
sacre. But Curacao was unmoested, save for two
Intellectual expeditions for its capture organized by
the Spanish during European wars.
And the Curacao of to-day? Well it hasn't
changed greatly, save to accommodate itself to
latter-day conditions. Rich cargoes still are un.

steamers by the merchants of Europe and Ameri

Story of q Bell.

Few persons suspect that in the
cathedral church of Notre Dame is
bell contemporaneous with Joan of
Arc-"the blessed bell" which sound
ed the tocsin when the maid of Lor-
raine appeared in August, 1929, and
Paris was besieged by the English.
This historic bell. referred to by Vic
tor Hugo in his "Notre Dame de
Paris" was given to the cathedral in
400 by Jean de Montaign 1t was
refounded in 1886, and then rebap-
tized under the name of Emmanuel
Louise Therese, in honor of Louis
XIV. and Marie Therese of Austria.
So If this bell is not the same bell
which the heroine of Domremy heard
nevertheless the same metal vibrates
to-day at the great religious cere-
monies OF the metropolitan church.
In view of later events 1t seems rather
more than a coincidence that when
all the other bells were destroyed by
the Revolutionists Joan's bell should
have been spared.-London Globe.
