Such few as were saved were
sold by the new Republican
authorities, and disappeared once
for all, so that when the first Ma
poleon assumed the Imperial dig
nifty he was compelled to make
new beginning, and he was crowned
with the iron crown of Charlie
magne, which had not been con.
sidered worth stealing or turned
into cash.
All the same, he was not sparing
of costly purchases of jewelry for
his two cOnsorts, Josephine and
Marie Louise-and the collection
amassed by the latter was of no
small value.
When Napoleon abdicated in the
spring of 1914. his empress took
the view that those jewels belonged
to her and endeavored to carry
them off in her fight to Austria.
By the astute Talleyrand the royal
equipage was, however, intercept
ted ere it reached the frontier, and
the treasure sequestrated in the in
terests of Louis XVIII, to whom
the willy old intriguer had trans
ferred his allegiance. For some
reason this treasure, said to have
been worth nearly two millions
sterling was transferred to the
town of Grenoble. in the south of
France, for safe custody.
Napoleon's agents had knowledge
of this and on his return from Elba
the Emperor marched straight up
on that town with view to seize
the treasure. By the skill and
daring of some of the royalist ad-
herents it was carried of, not ten
minutes before the BOnapartists
entered the town. and accom-
panied Louis XVIII into his tenn.
porary exile into Belgium. The
story forms the basis of at least
one exciting novel.
When the third Napoleon was at
the height of his power, and his
court the gayest and most brilliant
in Europe, popular Imagination
credited his consort, the Empress
Eugene, with the possession of
a magnificent collection of jewels
and precious stones. But, upon
the downfall of the second empire
in 1870, very little of this great
treasure (if, indeed, it had ever
really existed) came into possession
of the third republic.
Where it had gone has been
more or less of a mystery. but
those who knew how astute in
money matters Gf not in states

tle'' made what was. probably
very shrewd guess. Nearly all the
Crown Jewels worn in public were,
it was said, nothing but clever imi-
tations. the real goods" having,
long before the crash came, been
dispatched for safety to England.

of her beloved daughter-in-law. So
when the barley was winnowed
Naomi knew that Boaz would sleep
on the threshing floor, and con-
trived it so that Ruth should lie
down at his feet as he was asleep,
and having implicit confidence in
Naomi's judgment and love for
her, she obeyed her. This, to US,
seems very immodest proceeding
on the part of Ruth. but it was a
Jewish custom, and required by
law.
When an Israelite died and left
no heir his widow must marry his
brother or nearest kin to inherit
his property, and she must signify
her willingness to do so by lying
at his feet: and then if hc refused
to marry her she must call him be-
fore the senate, loose his sandals
and spit in his face; he must then
60 away, bearing the reproach of
the senate, and she can marry
whom she pleases. All this seems
very crude and barbarous to US,
but let US remember how young
was the world, how ignorant and
superstitious were the people, and
that they we're not living under the
refining influence of the gentle
Man of Galilee. Naomi supposed
that Boaz was the nearest kin to
Ruth's dead husband, and perceiv-
ing their affection for each other,
she was doing her best to help
them, knowing that Ruth was ig-
norant of the Jewish laws of that
time and country.
But there was a nearer relative
than Boaz and he, Boaz, was aware
of the fact. and it made him very
sad, for he wanted to marry Ruth
himself. So when on awakening
at midnight he found her lying
at his feet he was sorry that
he was mistaken and was very
glad to find that she was willing to
be his wife. He blessed her and
as kindly as possible told her there
was a nearer relative than himself,
but if he would not obey the law,
he himself would most gladly wed
her. He charged her to tell no
one where she had been, gave her
six measures of barley and sent
her home to Naomi before sunrise,
who received the sorrowful girl
with encouraging words, knowing
full well that Boaz would not rest
till he had done all that was pos.
sible to win Ruth.
In the morning Boaz went down
into the city, called together the
senate and sent for Ruth, and the
relative who retained the inheri-
tance of Elimelech and his sons.
and told him he must marry her in
order to retain the inheritance.
As the relative was married and
had a family it was impossible for
him to comply with the law, much
to the enjoyment of Boaz and Ruth
who were married and lived happy
ever afterward.
Within a year Ruth gave birth
to . son and Naomi was at last q

COUNT CUTS RITCHlE
LEAD DOWN-TO III
Maryland G.. o. P. Takes
Heart Again As Democrat
Loses 80 Votes.

BALTIMORE, Nov. S.-when the
election supervisors began work at 9
o'clock this morning on the canvass
of the remaining sixteen wards of this
city, the plurality of Attorney General
Richie, in the gubernatoriaI race had
been reduced to III votes. They hope
to complete the count tonight.
Yesterday Ritchie lost twenty-seven
votes net. His loss occurred late in
the days work. when a mistake OF
thirty votes was discovered in the un-
official report of returns from the
Thirteenth precinct of the. Twelfth
ward. The mistake was in favor of
Richie. and the correction cut him
down thirty. He had gained three
votes, two in the First precinct of the
Twenty-sixth ward. and one in the
Ninth precinct of the Thirteenth. The
net, therefore, was u loss of twenty
seven.h Taken of the 1913 with which
he started the day, he had III left.
The Republican leaders were very
dismal most of yesterday. When they
found Thursday night that the official
returns from all the twenty three
counties and from five of the city
wards gave Ritchie 1913 they about
gave up hope, feeling that there was
little chance that the remaining
twenty-six wards in the city would
make a material change. The early
reports from the election supervisors
gave Richie his gain of three. making
his plurality 201, and the Republican
leaders sagged lower.
When, however, Ritchie lost the
thirty votes in the Twelfth ward the
Republicans cheered considerably.
They did not see daylight, but the
gain demonstrated to them that
changes were possible. They have
heard something about a change of
100 in their favor which will be found
in another precinct, and while they
do not seem to be very clear what it
is, they find comfort in 1t.

OPEN MARKET FOR STEEL.
Railroad Administration Refused te
Accept Government Prices.

NEW YORK, May 9-An open market
or steel products was created yesterday
when representatives of the railroad adj
mnlstration and members of the general
committee Of the American Iron and
Steel Institute failed to agree on mini
mum stabilization prices, after an all
day meeting at the Hotel Plaza. After
the conference, which it. was said would
be the last attempt To install the so-called
Redheld plan of stabilization, the rail
road administration announced in a state
ment by Director General Hines that
competitive bids would at once be asked
for 100000 tons of steel rails
The steel manufacturers refused to make
any concession in prices to the railroad
administration officials, maintaining that
costs were so high that reductions were
impossible at the present time without
cutting wages. 1t was the contention o.
the railroad administration that the stee
companies could make profits on the price
