The approach of the season when

pering tones and the hat down over
his eyes stops you to ask the price OF
a light luncheon recalls the tale of
Price Mckinney and the generous pan
handler.
Mckinney. walking up Superior ave
nue., was accosted by man with a
breath like a distillery.
He said he had not tasted food for
many. many days. Even SO small a
sum as is cents, he suggested, might
be sufficient to stave off actual starva-
ton
"See here" asked Mckinney stern.
ly, isn't it a fact that you want this
money for drink and not for food at
all?"
The man looked him in the eye,
dropped his head. gulped and owned
up that 1t really was good drink
that he had in mind when he men
toned his need of food

you'll get 1t sooner or later, and I
might as well give you the money as

pocket and handed it to the stranger.

to be a talisman of good fortune-es-
pecially in love.
1T had age; 1t had intrinsic value;
1t had beauty, and that one other
quality no man can resist-it was the
only thing of its kind in the world
AT all events. 1t was too much for old
Neville Crew, when he saw it there
some couple of hundred years ago.
When he left India the ring went
with him. He never told how he got
it, but lucky marriages came with It.,
and the Crews would not take the
house of lords for 1t. Their women
have worn it ever since"
For moment the wonder of the
tale and the curious spark of excite.
ment 1t had produced in the teller
kept the listeners silent. Clara was

Bessie" she prompted eagerly.
Kerr turned k;E glass in meditative
fingers. "She wore 1t as young Chat.
worth's wife" He held them all in
an increasing tension, as If he drew
them toward him.
THE elder Chatworth, Lord Crew,
is bachelor. but, of course, the ring
reverted to him on Chatworth's
DEATH"
And Lord only knows" the judge
broke in. how it got shipped with
Bessie's property. Crew was out Of
England at the time. He kept the
wires hot about 1t, and they managed
to keep the fact of what the ring was
.quiet-but 1t got out to-day when Pur.
die found 1t was gone. You see he
was showing it-and without special

the rights of property and in that dis.
guise haunted the boys of Ireland, rob.

curious circumstance that Wing"

term of insult, should SO soon have
been assumed with pride. An odder
circumstance is that two great Eng.

titles, the one from the boys of Ire.
