looked. in fact, like bankruptcy. So
in desperation I cut an old rubber
doormat into oyster shaped pieces on
April / and fried them in egg and

There was only one man in the bar
when I fetched in that dish of smok-
ing rubber oysters. His eyes glittered.
and he grabbed fork, jabbed it into
a big fellow and took a hungry bite.

spread over his face, l turned away to

posed to be conferred on the wearer'
Its bright six rayed star. ever chang

light and especially shooting out Its

seem TO be something more than an
ordinary crystal, and to the supersti-
tious mind it could readily be believed
TO embody some tutelar spirit.
The particular virtue attributed TO
this gem was the comforting upon the
wearer of health and good fortune
when worn as an amulet, and to those
fortunate to be born in the month OF
April. with which the stone was asso-
ciated or represented, the wearer was
insured from all evil.
The star stone is found principally
in Ceylon. invariably In soil peculiar
