Then that ring. That wa? Ivnny's ono--Denny of the Tenth, the poor chap who went, I won't Bay I to the bad, leeau-o none of us ever knew what did become of him. Dut he camo to me one day, said ho was absolutely broke for the moment, and axked me to lend him a fiver on that ring. It's worth f?3 at least, and of eourne, 1 lot him havethe money. I'vo never ewn him since; but thera tho ring Is, waiting for Irlm, whenever he cares to come back and ask for It. As to that scarf-pin, there's a longei fitory nlout that a bad. bad business It was, too; and even after all these years I don't much like talking about It. Hut I'll tell you, a you seem In terested In It. I lought that pin In a little second hand jeweler's shop In Adelaide) street, Melbourne, Australia. I was on tho point of starting fcr home; and I wan lounging around, trying to fill in the time before I went en board. It was. In "71, Ju?t after tho I'ataroff murder business. You mncmler of hearing of that, of course? A llu$slan count, who camo out about some mining speculation, found in his bed one morning, stabbed through tho heart: and everybody put It down to the. Nihility. I was nttrorted to this little h.p window by a placard offer ing a reward for the capture of pHtimfT murderer, and just under the plncnrd there was a trny of scarf pins, rubbishy things, most of them, and hardly worth noticing. But this one caught iuy eye directly. You'll see it's rather uaint, if you look at it. A Maltese, cross of small diamonds, with the bar at the end of each arm made of corn!. You don't much like the effect? No; uor did I when I saw It. Hut It struck meat once as a curiou fieak on the part of any jeweler to mix diamonds etui coral ia that way, so I went In and asked the price of It. The shopman mentioned a amn much amaller than I h.wl ex pected, and I lionght the pin there aod then. I aked htm, just out of curiosity, when It had come Into his possession. "Well, sir," he said, "I don't rightly know myself, because I didn't buy It of the man that brought it in. The bos-, did that himself, nut I know the man must have been-badly broke. He wild he must get rid of It, no matter how cheap." "Did ho look as though he was very hard up?" I asked. "No, sir; not alwajs. He was dressed qnlte respectable ; no more seedj -looking nor hard upthan your self, sir, asking your pardon." "Theie was nothing at all out of the common about him. then ?' "Now. that's Just wht it is, sir. There was. He was a Doe, well-to-do looking young fellow, tall, and with a brownish beard and mustache. Hut there was a sorter frightened look In his face, a It might le some one wns after bltu. I believe he'd (riveo the Utss that plo, freo gratia for nothing, so he could 'a just gut rid of It. And h went out of that door kinder gap4ng and pantlnsr. as though he had a Weight took off hll mindwltb the pin that he was leav ing tiehlnd him." "And you couldn't say where th pin was made, I suppose ?' "No. sir.-We -couldn't, nohow. Only I can tell you thhv, No lewder made that pin, just to put In his win dow and sell It. That pin was made to order, wherever it was made and whoever ordered It." "Well." I aald. -itoeema a queer business altogether: but I'll take the pin, anyhow. It's rather a curiosity; and If It has been stolen and the owner ever comes across tne, he shall have Itandwetodme.

I was on board the tender, steaming out to the Mefsagvries IJnerClrcasslenne, with the pin stored away among my other mail tmasares u my aretsing Dag.

They were not an Interesting lot: and I was almost in despair of finding any one upon whom to be stow my two spare seats at table, when my eye fell upon a young couple evidently husband and wife standing a little apart from the rest. The man was tall and broadly oullt; clean shaven, save for n little brown mustache, and with that uniform falenes of complexion that tells of a ife sjient In office work or some sed entary occupation. His wife was I should have eald-a good deal younger than her hUsbund; small, rather leliate in appearance, and distinctly pretty. Tht-re; I thought, are mv friends for the tdyage. Even as I watched them, the mad ?amo neros and asked me some trivi al question as to tho possibility of (retting at some of their heavier bag- ;rage In the hold, nnu, in nnu an nour, we found ourselves on the best ot terms, and mv two seats were accent ed with alacrity.

''You don't quite understand ray hopes or my Intentions jet, child," said Charterls. He always called her child :" "vou will some day." At dinner that first evening, and In the earoon afterward. I found the Cbarterises most delightful company. 4nd liter on. we two men adjourned :o the smoklnir-room. and bad an hour's chat. Noxt day I did not see them.

The dav followlnff. however, was fust perfect: calm as n mill pond, and Just enough wind right In our teeth to keen us cool under the awnintr. I bethought ine of my scarf-pin while dressing, and I put it on, with a plain black scarf, which. I thought, abowed ud the diamonds well. Taklnsr a stroll on deck before breakfast I came upon Charterls. He stood with his back to me. looking out over the water, ami I tapped him on the shoulder, as I said "good- morning." He turned and raced me for a moment, then gave a sudden stArt.and grew deadly pale. I thought ae was corner to faint. "Oood Hod! man'." he gasped; M thatcns! Where, how, did you get ;hat cns? You're not, no you can't pe one or-of those" lie stoppec hecklnir himself as though he had sal o much, and stood, his eyes fixed an mine, his face full of terrified en ireatr. "My dear Charterls," I replied. I haven't the least idea what you are illudln to. I bought that pin in Adelaide two davs oco, of a second hand Jeweler:" then as a sudden thought struck me, "it Isn't yours, is it?" "X no. not mine. I-I never set yes on it before ; b but don't you know it's -It's desperately unlucky to wear coral and diamonds together T Don't for Uod a sake, don't wear It, Btone. Take It off now now this Instant, before It brings you any harm."- " Really. Chart rU. If you are su perstitious, I'm not. I despise all those old fancies ; and, after all, it's I who aa wearing the pin, not too." A look of honeless disappointment 2arne over his face as be replied : "Well, please yourself", of course. Onl r. It evil cornea of this and mark me, it will. It musV-you II remember what I sriJ, and be sorry." I coaWnt heln watching Charteria that day at breakfast. And be, I no ticed, kept glancing round at me. every now and then, with a queer, furtive expression that puxxied aad innoved me.

Bee that the sitting hens hare ready access to plenty of food ssd water, si 9 m A m S that they will not be obliged to leave their nests toi long at any one time. If the incubator chickeae are a little late, better sell them whe3 they wilt average one and a hair pounJ in weint rather than risk lower prices a little later.
