powers, the astoria. or star gem. WIS

posed to be conferred on the weare:
Its bright six rayed star. ever chang
ing and shifting with every play Of
light and especially shooting out its
flames in the direct sunlight. would
seem to be something more than an
ordinary crystal, and to the supersti
tious mind ii could readily be believed
to embody some tutelar spirit.
The particular virtue attributed to
this gem was the comforting upon the
wearer of "heath 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 assoc
ciated or represented. the wearer was
insured from all evil.
The star stone is found principally
in Cevlon. invariably in soil peculiar
to rubies and sapphires. Indeed. it is
composed of the same constituent eco

OF intense curiosity on the command

"The king died four days ago, and
his brother Immediately assumed the
crown amid thunders Of popular APP
plause. He has been formally reeog-
nized by the foreign diplomatic corps
and perforce, the French represent
atives have been compelled to follow

There was nothing more to do or
say. The wretched Siamese-Parisian
prince was bundled ashore with scant
ceremony, and the cruiser steamed
on for Saigon, the nearest colonial
port.

blue Jackets to remove the sunken
Ukraine, he offered to tear 1t to pieces
with his own bare hands. Money was
no object, but the directors of the
canal, mostly Englishmen, had no par
ticular sympathy with the French
mans incomprehensible and almost
fearful excitement and declined to risk
having a mile of the canal embank-
ments shattered by the tampering OF
unskilled hands. A hurry order had
been cabled to Naples for wreckers
and they might be expected in two or
three days. Till then it was neces-
sary to wait.
1t turned out to be four days, and
for several persons in the port they
were the slowest four days on record.
Ship after ship continued to arrive at
both ends Of the canal, mail steamers,
freight boats, majestic steel ships and
barques from the antipodes, every sort
of craft important enough to pay the
canal tolls, flying every flag known to
the four oceans Every day the COM
pany's offices were crowded with an
cry and rough-speaking sea captains,
and a dozen suits-at-law were daily
threatened. AS for Davenport, he
carefully avoided even the neighbor-
hood of these offices and spent much
of his time on the end of the pier as
before sweeping the horizon with his
glass. He was looking for the steam
er from Naples.
On the fifth morning she appeared
Davenport at once had himself rowed
to the French man-of-war, boarded
her and introduced himself to the
commander in purest Partisan French.
Would the commander have the good
ness to transmit to the French lega-
tion in Bangkok a communication OF
importance to French interests in the
east-of the highest Importance, he
might venture to say? The command
er would. Davenport confided to his
care an imposing and oficial-looking
document, tied with tape and decor
ated with several ounces VI ISu ""N'
and bowed himself over the side. Two
hours later he went aboard a west
bound steamer that was ready to sail
and disappeared under the Mediter-
ranean horizon.
The divers went to work at once,
hauling up carefully several tin cases
filled with sand. After an investi-
cation lasting an hour or two, a cou-
pie of charges of dynamite were eX-
ploded under the Ukraine with no un-
usual effects. The canal was clear,
and in a solid procession the ships
began to pass through. For a week
there was a double file, moving in op-
posite directions, and the nights were
bright as day from the electric search-
lights that the regulations compel
every vessel to carry in nocturnal
transit.
The French cruiser crossed the In
dian ocean and the Bay of Bengal as
if the devil were after her. She was
