hand in his death superintended also the
distribution of his fortune. Such of the
Czarina's jewels as remained boarded In
his safety vaults must have been returned
to her or else kept in trust for the future
empresses of Russia by those who had con-
sidered it their patriotic duty to assas-
sinate this man.
There are several Romanoff heirs and
relatives alive to-day. One Of the Grand
Dukes lives In England, another Is in Italy,
still another was last heard of living In
cognito in Paris. II has never definitely
been settled even that the Grand Duchess
Tatiana. the Cars favorite daughter, was
killed with her father and mother. There
still persist rumors that Tatiana is alive.
Some declare she is In Russia, held pris-
oner and hostage by the Bosheviks. Others
are equally positive that she is in Spain,
a protegee of the Spanish court. II she is
alive, then the sale OF the necklace un-
doubtedly was for her, as she would be its
rightful owner. II not, then perhaps one
or the other OF the Grand Dukes may have
carried IL safely out OF Russia and may
have sold II for the benefit of himself and
the other Romanoff heirs
OF course no one can say positively that
the beautiful strands of pearls brought
back from his expedition against Mithri
dates by Pompey is the same one that
Catherine purchased in the seventeenth
century, with the Duke OF Brunswick act
ing as her agent. But the descriptions of
the two are the same. or Pompey's neck
lace there is report that II contained no
fewer than 400 pearls, ranging from very
small to very large, each the most perfect
ever seen" GATHERINGS necklace contained
a little less than 400, according to reports
but still remained the largest on record
outside those of the Indian princes. and
certainly the pearls we're each perfect In
luster and shape.

there is good reason to believe that It could
be none other AS matter Of fact, those
who are concerned about 1t have not at all
denied that this is the Romanoff jewel
which the Bolsheviks found had so mys-
teriously disappeared from the jewel
Golfers at the Winter Palace.
There is no other necklace like It in the
world. OF all the known necklaces, outside
the collections Of one or two Indian
princes. 1t Is the most valuable that ever
has existed. When one recalls the ro-
nance connected with this ornament Of
the Empress and traces 1t back-among the
legends that have come down with ito
the loot of Mithridates by Pompey and his
Roman legions. 1t appears more intriguing
that now, liz these days wnen so many
empresses have passed away and so many
empires have crumbled, 1t should grace the
throat Of the wife of one who had scant
reason to hope. few years ago, that any
station prouder than that OF good me-
chanic's would become his.
1t is somewhat doubtful. however, which
pearls of Mrs. Dodge, which once were the
r1aythings of the Empress, or the me-
chanic who purchased them. Perhaps the
nearer romance deserves retelling first.
Horace Dodge. who when he died few
months ago left an estate estimated at
500 000. .000-much of II In cash-was, with
his brother John. a very good mechanic in
Detroit At his trade s35 week was the
most he could earn and remain steadily
employed When he married neighbor girl
he found this income rather meager. His
brother was In no better circumstances
than he. The two young men then we're
being importuned by an inventor who
claimed to own a workable idea for a
combustion engine--a motor that could be
made to run by the explosions from drops
of gasoline.
This inventor, whose name was Henry
Ford. had no money and no backing. The
Dodge brothers listened to him describe
the proposed mechanism Of his motor
more with the thought Of being polite than
anything else.
At last, after Horace Dodge married, the
two mechanics decided to chance an estab
lishment of their own; they would set up

with other jewels, even then world famous
1t was purchased by a syndicate of French
merchants and again disappeared.
The Duke of Brunswick, however, learned
in some way of its hiding place. He even
saw it and examined It carefully and heard
what was known OF its history. Some time
later Catherine importuned the Duke to
sell to her a magnificent drinking cup
which also had been Roman loot and which
the Duke had obtained on the Continent
The cup was cut from solid piece of beau
tiful onyx. Catherine offered Brunswick
100000 thalers for this cup. which would
be 100000 in American money. Brunswick
refused, but jokingly told the Empress of
another bauble which she probably could
buy for that amount of money and which
might even appeal more strongly to her.
Brunswick then described to his royal
friend the necklace of Pompey. Catherine
was eager at once. The Romanoff Jewels
then included no such splendid collection
OF the Queen Jewels" as pearls then were
called. She insisted that Brunswick pur
chase the necklace for her at whatever
price he found necessary to pay.
After much bargaining and negotiating
the purchase was made and Brunswick;
himself carried the necklace to Russia. Not
long afterward Brunswick died, and IL was
not long before Catherine passed away
She enjoyed the necklace but a few years
The tragedies OF the succeeding Roma
noffs are well known.
When the necklace came into the hands
OF Mr.. Dodge II was clasped with jeweled
miniature Of the Empress Catherine and
the strands are held together with other
little miniatures of the Empress. The
weight of all the pearls together is 1905
grains. All are perfectly matched in color
and sheen-a task which must have been
the labor of many years for the Prince or
King who assembled these beautiful beads

tribute of death.
or course this is Just legend. for no
Cardinal would so defile the history
scroll" as to include in II even mention
of such a thing as an evil charm in con-
nection with the Holy Father. But the
legend has come down nevertheless as
illustrative Of the strange superstition that
surrounds these gems that are the tears
of the oyster"
The late Czarina often wore the necklace
of Catherine during the later years Of her
reign. 1t was reported shortly after the
war broke out that the Czarina had given
the necklace, as one Of the most valuable
strings of jewels In the private possession
OF the Romanoffs, to her friend Rasputin,
the monk, to be broken up and sold for the
benefit Of the poor.
IL may never be known whether this
report was true She did give many Of
the Romanoff jewels to the clever rogue
who had obtained such an Ill influence
over her. Whether this was among them
is not definitely proved. II she did. Ger.
tainly the necklace must have come back
into the possession of some one OF the
Ro,nanoff heirs with the assassination OF
the monk.
Very little information was vouch-
safed the outside world about the death
OF Rasputin or what became Of his effects
including as they must the great fortune
he was known TO have accumulated II
has been supposed that those who had a

a modest machine shop on their own re-
sponsibilities. They agreed, for want Of
other work. to work out in steel and iron
some of the ideas OF Henry Ford and thus
give him the assistance he had been ask
ing of them.
In their little shop the Ford motor was
born. They took for their pay a third in

thus they came, after a few amazing years,

Ford factories.
it was not long until "the Dodges" were
among the wealthiest residents of their
city. They sold their interests in the great
Ford industry and began making auto
mobiles OF their own design. In this they
were successful, too, and increased their
fortunes.
The pearl necklace of Catherine was
gwen Mrs. Dodge by her husband as a
wedding anniversary present. 1t was Just
a reminder. her husband said, of the old
machine shop days and the s35 week.
The necklace was paid for by Horace
Dodge with a check for ss25,000. 1t had
been appraised by the foremost experts in
America as well as in Europe and was
pronounced worth considerable more than
that sum. Whether Mr.. Dodge knew how
1t escaped the Bolsheviks and who were
the heirs Of the Romanoffs to whom his
money eventually would pass may never
be known. He died soon afterward.
Here again those who are familiar with
the history OF the necklace declare that It's
traditions are merely continuing to live.
Those who have owned the necklace since
the record of II began, all have suffered
even Catherine. who was widely beloved,
was unhappy after the bauble took its
place in her jewel box.
II has long been a superstition that
pearls bring death" The death Of two
Popes has been attributed to their fondness
for these gems-Pope Leo Nv. and Pope
Paul II. It is said that the Cardinals who
wrote the history scroll" on which the
account Of the reigns OF these Popes was
inscribed and then buried with them in

famous necklace of pearls which
Catherine the Great Of Russia
valued above all her large store Of jewels
and, in fact, one of the most valuable
pearl necklaces in the world-has come
into possession Of Mrs. Horace e. Dodge
of Detroit has aroused a great deal Of
speculation upon the odd circumstances
which have brought this historic bauble
from the jewel box of expresses to adorn
the throat of q charming American woman
who, not so many years ago. was the
humble housewife of a mechanic who
thought he had achieved prosperity when
his daily wages totaled a modest five
dollars.
The whereabouts of this beautiful neck
lace and the circumstances Of its sale to
Mrs. Dodge have been discovered because
of an unpleasant situation which is thor
oughly in keeping with the history Of the
once royal ornament. 1t might never have
become generally known that the whilom
mechanic who was happy when he earned
five dollars day had presented his wife
such a magnificent keepsake had 1t not
been for discussion between the Jew
elers who acted as agents in the sale, in
which their misunderstanding became
, public.
Those who know something of the
/, events which are associated with this
\ necklace of the Russian Empress are con-
1 vinced that wherever 1t goes It takes with
It misfortune and unhappiness, squabbles
and discomfort. They are wondering II
Mrs. Dodge. the new owner. will break
the spell of evil that has so long clung to
It, or II she will some time regret the gen.
erous impulse Of her husband which made
her It's owner.
1t was only the other day that It be-
came known Mrs. Dodge had been given
a five strand necklace Of pearls for which
her husband who since has died, gave the
jewelers. more than three-quarters Of a
million dollars and gave this great sum
in cash out of the daily balance Of his bank
account. II has not yet been formally ad-
mitted by any of the persons concerned
that this is the necklace of Catherine. but
