 Story of . Lucky s,snS and Tris Q.
 aAeeidSnts. . GeoreelF. Kunz, thewell known gem expert, relates this httle story of a lucky stone and the eadventures of its owners: Some years ago . meteorite was given to Edward Heron Allen, the fa- nous writer on palmistry and the vio- lin, and this gifted man always wore 1t about him. One morning he awakened to find that the entire roof above him had fallen fin except just that portion over his bed.
 He told the story to one of the best known ladies in Boston, one who is known for her public spirit, her love Of art and her faultless manner of enter -taining. This lady successfully urged Allen to give her the meteorite.
 "A few days later while out driving a great truck with two runaway horses attached to it struck her carriage. h. stinctively she raised her muff to pro- tect her face The muE was almost cut in two. but the lady was not hurt. A few days later while she was walking under some scaffolding it fell, and the open part where the hOists went up proved to be just where she stood. Al though surrounded by ruin. she re- mained unharmed."
 Whether the stone was a factor in averting disaster to Its owners in their moments of peril is, however, a matter apart from the facts in the case.- Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
