The sun cliinlioil the sky and slid
down lazily behind the Witches' Pillar,
decking the t.Uy with m'ohl and tbe bltf
eye of the far off lighthouse sturleil

came in one by one.

tall fuchsias, stoo l silent nml deserted.
Tlio frenzied beat of her knuckles on
the door eelioetl back to her mocklnmly
throlluh the two liny rooms.
A pinitium' woman, with n dlnp7
shawl thrown over her bead, met her
half way down. .Some instinct intangi
ble llllil tllidi lined, Si'i'llleil to tell each
what she wished, yet dreaded to learn;
for HO Words w t i e spoken, IHI iliestnns

scended the hill.
They pau-cd on the bluff, stralulni?
their eyes in hopes of seeing a dark
speck crawl out under the shadow of
tho cliffs. A boat was inovini; out wavd
toward the deeps w here the conm'er lay,
and the mill's heart ennv bitter acnlnst

"I'll i;o i.i," said Kitry, loileliliiK the

She broke down, covoriiii; her face
witli her hands. The iiitii laid aside
ibt ir pipes and went out softly, w bis

The sad eyed woman was waiting for
her, and tomeihi r they hastened to the

drew back her arm and l.isscd some

lined Willi a yellowish tinkle at the
urilst's feet.
It was a narrow chain of gold, cm-licllii-hcil
w ith a heart -diapcd i outlaid

The nose of the boat veered round
and they headed up the bay. The Wom
an still rocked herself, sobbing softly,
but Kitty's cheek-, were dry, tlmtigli
lief brc.itli caine and wei't in uncertain
Hasps.
A hoar-o cheer swelled up through
the night ami set their hearts singing.
Kilty's head went dow n on her bands,
and tears came at last, as the heavy
burden of agonized suspense fell from
her. One by one the boys toiled across
the light, and were soaked up by the
darkness under the I'aifombe shore.
Kilty roused herself and followed.
There was a ihattcrlog crow d of men
ami women outside the Merry Marin
ers, but they fell aside to let her pass,
and they thronmed the doorway curi
ously. The loom Inside was packed,
and little Trew lowe. very pale ami

He sat in the middle of tho room, the
ashen hue of his face, showing clearly
through the grime, his hands bruised
ami bleeding, and Ids dollies torn to

P.y and by they went down tbe road

If you happen to have in your jios

known nt live-fruiii! piece, you may,
iiuwiitiuly, be a millionaire. iSueii,

dreds ujioa hundreds of credulous
Frenchmen and rrencLwoinen, many
of whom Hpi inl inoHt of their H are
limn deHtioyiiiK tiuiuitilifH of livc
f i nne picctis in tno hope of realizing a
fort ii no.
r. Marco Leonardo Xardez, Ilie
well-know n liuiiiisniutist, and one of
the l ei'i.iiied uutli.n it ies on cfiin line,
speaking of this euiioiia condition of
iill'airs, said: "it is ipiitu true that
half of I'laiioo still believes in the t-x-i
teiico of great wealth hidden in live
fl'iine pieces, although many nilinia
liiutlHts hold that tho foitune in epics
lion was loair ago discovered ami np-
pi'opi iiited by olio of tin) Jl.'tliseliilil i

"Tlia story of tho Htrangt) live-frano I
foi liuio legend may be In ielly told. A
live-fi'uiie piece, to begin with, is it i
ul it r coin, ami is worth about i'l.
Napoleon I. was very anxious to make
the coin a popular one, and w.th this
end in view he caused it to he cireii-
lilted everywhere throughout Franca j
that he had iu ei ted in one of the sit- 1
ver pieces before it left the mint a ;
bank note or order tor l,lllll!,il(ltl of
tliesa same live francs i.e., for .SI,-1
1100,1100. Whether i..! ica'l.v did this in
tuit I cannot say for eer.atii, but the
weight of eiileliee Would seem to
hIiow that it was il.uio. In the maun- '
i'ii)it inoiuoiis of tho Duo do Feltie,
Naioleoii'H mini.-ter of war, it is ox- j
pressly stated thut the Kinpernr en-
elosetl n nolo on the I'auk of France, j
duly Higned by tho governors of that I
institution, in a split li vc-lrano j ii-i-n ;
that the halves w ere then welded to- j
mother, iartially leniinteil mi l thrown )
in a heai of similar coins, which tho :
i'iiicror mixed withhia own hand i.
These coins Napoleon took w ith him 1
ill a 1 11'.; when he went to I nii lo n,, :
mid distributed lavishly en route, even :
dropping soma of thcui out of his cat- ;
riage window s. JnthisWiiyitwasi.it-
possiblo to keep track of tho luc!. y
coin.
'"The news ol'thiso, Id lottery spii-al
far ami wide, and the live frain! piceo j
leaped into iinuiediatt! favor. From '
that day to this mutilation of the coin
has been eolninoii in France, Switzor- '
land, Piolgiitui a nl il.sewheie. Fiery i
year the Hank of France is renuested '.
to iiiako good seta es of ieces split in 1
a vain search for the live-mil. ioii-l'rane j
bank note. '
"There me many stories dealing i
with reputed iiuds of the fortune. In- !
deed, w lieu a mull becomes Biiddeid v
rich in France, it is common to hear
icoplo whisper: 'Tieiisi! Jlo
must have loiiml Ninioleoii's famous :
coin!' Some assert that the Fuipemr
kept tho coin himself, but this hanliv '
.tgieos with Napoleon's character.
S.ill it is a current theory that houui
of the money w hich enabled Napoleon
111 to it ach the imperial throne wai
found iu tin: lucky silver piece, which
his mother, Uncoil llortcnso, had
wheedled out of her lirotlier-in-law. 1
"Tho most likely explanation as to
why the tie-fiane piece tails to turn
up is that i'.iiion Ferdinand tie Koths
chdil, a Pi'ttitt-h member of the great
Jewish banking house, secured it.
This account states that Hanoi tie

tradition and found Kiillicieut proof of
its truth, deliberately set towoik to

that ho hail iiiicuted a plan for weld

melted down tho silicr and sold it to
the goi eminent. The w. rk was tmlos

" 'o nil' desalers distinguish tho va-rictie-i
of oysters by the shape and col
or of the shells. V, o l oysters are
brought to market hero Inst we I it',

'drinking.' They nre taken down to
Port Kii hnion 1, Sta en Islaii I, and
shovelled oil vhe sloops i to lloat
ut high w a t"-. They remain in those
tloats for six hours, ami iluri ig tha

togiiethtoii the correct taste. The
water iu tho tloats is much fro-her
than that from w hich they are taken
in the lirst place. The water of New
York bay is just salty enough to flavor
oysters just right. After the eysle's
have gone tin ough tho floats it would
be dillieu'.t for the most expert con
noisseur U tlisliiii'iiish Miriely by tho
tate, and he could only tell the name
of thtf oyster by seeing the shell."
