NEW YORK, June 25.-A tale of a pearl
said to be worth S14o0aO and weighing
nearly thirteen grains varied the drab
monotony of the west side police court
for Magistrate Corrigan yesterday.
The magistrate rubbed his ewes and
wondered whether he was an oriental

the Sailor. Then, he rubbed them again
and scrutinized the visitor from whose
lips the wonder tale came as freely as
ever such a one flowed from the pen of
Wilkie Collins or a Robert Louis

Centuries ago an ancestor OF the mahar-

astery two large oval pearls of sky blue
color. In 1879 priest ran away with a
Rance, and they took the pearls with
them. Later the priest and his wife

Riding to one side of the trail, we
topped the little ridge just as the sun

Almost Immediately afterward my COM

ed his rife, and as he pulled the trigger
l saw through the twigs of a brush
patch on our left the erect, startled
head of a young black-tailed doe as
she turned TO look at us, her great
mule-like ears thrown forward. The
ball broke her neck, and she turned a
complete somersault dOwnhili, while
sudden smashing of underbrush told OF
the fight of her terrified companions.
In few minutes she was dressed and
hung up on a small ash tree.
We left our horses and struck off on
foot for a group of high buttes cut up
by the cedar canyons and gorges, In
which we knew the old bucks loved to
lie. It was noon before we saw any
thing more We lunched at a clear
spring-not needing much time, for all
we had to do was to drink draught OF
icy water and MUNICH a strip of dried
venison. Shortly afterward, as we were
moving along a hillside with silent eau
ton, we came to sheer canyon OF
which the opposite face was broken by
little lodges grown up with wind beaten
cedars. AS we peeped over the edge,

pointed silently to one Of the Lodges,
and instantly I caught the CLINT of a

around, we packed the buck behind my
companions saddle, and then rode back
for the doe, which L put behind mine,

One December while l was out on
my ranch. so much work had to be
done that it was within a week OF
Christmas before we were able to take
any thought for the Christmas dinner.
The winter set in late that year, and
there had been comparatively little cold
weather. but one day the ice on the
river had been sufficiently strong to
enable us to haul up wagOnload of
-four with enough salt pork to last
through the winter, and a very few tins
OF canned goods, to be used at special
feasts. We had some bushels of pota-
toes, the heroic victors Of a struggle
for existence in which the rest Of our
garden vegetables had succumbed to
drought, frost, and grasshoppers; and
we also had some wild plums and dried
elk venison. But we had no fresh
meat, and so one day my foreman and
/ agreed to make hunt on the NOR
row. Accordingly one Of the cowboys
rode out In the frosty afternoon to
fetch in the saddleband from the pla-
teau three miles off, where they were
grazing. It was after sunset when he
returned.
Choosing out two of the strongest
and quietest, we led them into the
warm log stable, where they We're given
q plentiful supply of the short, nutri-
tious buffalo grass hay, while the rest
of the herd were turned loose to shift
for themselves. Then we went inside
