PEARL HAS FAMOUS HISTORY
Among Other Things, II IL the Oldest
object Used for Adornment
Of the Person.

The pearl is the only gem needing
not the hand of man to bring to per
lection, and history affords ample
evidence of the intense fascination 1t
has exercised upon the people of every
age. The pearl is the Oldest object Of
personal adornment.
Indian mythology often speaks Of
the pearl, attributing it's discovery to
the god Vishnu, who is said to have
caused 1t to be drawn from the ocean
for his daughter Pandaia. The rec
ords of the Babylonians, Egyptians,
Persians and Romans also contain
of Emperor Caligula, for an ordinary
tetrothal feast, is said to have
decked herself with pearls t o the
value of 81, 900, 900; and Julius Caesar
presented Servilla, the mother Of Bru-
tus, with a specimen valued at $780,
600.
Philip II of Spain paid $780, 900 for
a single pearl known as "Peregrina."
It was found in Panama, was pear
other king of Spain-Philip TV-pur-
chased a pearl of Indian origin weigh
ing 1876 carats.
The largest pearl known is that
which was once the property OF Henry
Philip Hope. Cylindrical in form, 1t is
two inches long, four and a half
inches in circumference at one end
and three and a half inches at the
other. 1t weighs 1900 grains and is
valued at $500. 900.
1t is known that the beauty of the
natural pearl sometimes proves eva
nescent. To retain its shimmering
splendor 1t needs air and light. Acids
can affect pearls. and emanations
from the human skin can, it is con-
tended, destroy the precious luster,
which, once gone, cannot be recov-
cred. Sometimes, too, owing to their
comparative softness, pearls become
scratched and thus a source of anxiety
to their owners.

Reptiles Had chIns Like Humans.

Oddly enough, and for some reason
quite unexplained, the nearest resem-
blance to the human chin is found in
some of the ancient reptiles yet
dlscovered-strange and primitive
creatures whose remains have been
unearthed on the shores of the north
ern Dwina. 1t is not to be imagined
that they could talk, for they had no
brains to speak of. Their chins, which
are strikingly humanlike, must have
been meant by nature for some entire
ly different purpose.

CHAPTER xxx.

Along the dark turnpikn John Val.
liant rode with his chin sunk on his
breast. He was %wretchedly glad of
the darkness, for it covered a thou
sand familiar sights he had grown to
love. Yet through the dark came
drifting sounds that caught at him
with clutching hands-the bay of a
hound from some far-off kennel, the
whirring note of frogs, the impatient
high whinny of n horse across pasture
bars-and his nostrils widened to the
wild braided fragrance of the fields
over which the mist was spinning. its
fairy carded wool.
The preparations for his going had
been quickly made. He was leaving
behind him all but a single portman-
teau. Uncle Jefferson had already
taken. this-with Chum-to the sta
ton. The old man had now gone sor-
rowtully afoot to the blockhouse, a
half-mile up the track, to bespeak the
stopping Of the express. He would go
back on the horse his master was
riding.
The lonely little depot flanked a
siding beside n dismal stretch of vel
low clay-bank gouged by rains. Its
windows were dark and the weather
beaten plank platform was Illuminated

In the saddle, Valiant struck his
hand hard against his knee. Surely

that 1t was not a dream.
Far away, rounding Powhattan

echoes. Among them mixed another
sound of a horse, galloping fast and
hard.
His wi fdgeted. flung up wide nos,
tTils and neighed shrilly. Who was
coming along that ~runnelled highway
at such an hour in such breakneck
fashion?
