ORIGIN OF A NAME.

IN tho first place q doubt arose owing

the name was co. Dutch origin This I'M
certainty was caused 10y the fact that
I'm a number Of instances the English.

the Dutch authorltics Tho discovery
that maps of London of tho correspond

taiuly gave color To the likelihood of the
English SuurC" Of the name. This argu-
mcnt was strengthened furthermore by
tho unusual combination Maiden Lane.

mention appeared In this index Of
Maiden Lang In one OF Valentines
Manuals, however, an item was found
containing an account OF the trial. in
1861. Of an individual for stealing cab
bdges from the premises OF a citizen
who lived IN Maiden Lane. Fortunately
the name of the citizen was discovered
in the index and directly the court pro-
ceedings in the text. IN the course OF
the trial the prisoner was asked:
ibid YOU steal, more than month
ago. a quantity Of cabbaPos at the house
of one Pictcr Jansen. ship carpenter. re-
siding at the entrance of Maiden Lane

caught and oycrtnkrn by the watchY'
This, of course. settled al doubt a. 10
the Dutch origin Of the romantic dcsig-
nation Of the old thoroughfarc. 1t was
certainly Il happy circumstance. from an
historical point of view, that the culpri.
elected to steal Maiden Lane cabbagcs.
The next statement, namely. that the
Ian" was known as Green Lane during
the carly English period now came M
for consideration. No evidence appeared
at first TO substantiate the identity of
Green and Maiden Lane. The illusions
found in the usual works Of reference
failed To- make clear that the two names
were i'm any way related. Attention was
thcrcup"n directed to original and au-
thoritativc sources. This involved a
search Of real estate transfers in the
books of record in the Registers Office,
and here happily, a valuable discovery
was made.

gcstcd. aud would seem to justify, the
posing that of Green Lane that the two
had a sort Of battle royal for surr.macy
and that Maiden Lane finally won the
honor OF maintaining the old tradition
OF tie picturesque Dutch locality
Now, as to the laying out OF the street
IN 1851. The "stockadocs' along the
route of the present Wall street pre-
vented the town from extending as rap

A PEARL ROMANCE.

A maiden lady was bicycling in the South
OF Scotland. and caught I'm the handlebar
o. her machine the chain which supported
her glasses. swapping IL into several pieces
60 she went into tho solitary shop Of the
village through which she was passing and
asked for any sort Of chain.
The old woman said she had only string
OF old glass beads. which had been in her
family for years. but. as times were bad,
she would part with them. Thinking them
rather pretty, the lady paid the price
asked which was Is shillngs.
About ten days later on her return TO
London. she went TO a jeweler to get her
small gold chain mended. still wearing her
glasses on the beads. The man noticed
them. and asked IL he might show them to
the head OF the firm. The latter soon came
forward and said he should be happy to
offer 200 for the necklet.
Without showing tho least surprise, the
lady graciously answered that she would
think the matter over. Then she went to q
friend In one OF the museums
After a little research among books. he
pronounced the beads 10 be the lost string
OF wonderful pearls Mary Queen of Scots
had worn on the scaffoid and several eX-
perts agreed. Finally. the beads were pri-
Vatesy sold for 1880 and out of part Of
the proceeds the lady took care that the
old Saleswoman should be made more than
comfortable for the rest Of her life.-IAv-
