THE UNLUCKY STONE From my traveled §arlie*t recollection we had the world over, it my mother and L We had no kith nor kin but one another, so can the wonder that wa were all in all to other? My mother’s face, although the sweetest and* gentlest of faces, wne sad, even gloomy at times. She wore the deepest of mourning my father, although I could never ber to mention him. And after sev erml taqttlries 1 teased to trouble her, for such a look of pain and agony would over tbs dear feature-! at the men¬ tion of Robert Radctiff. The only jew¬ elry she ever wore consisted of two rings, a plain gold wedding ring and a beautiful opal set in a heavy hand of gold. Through Asia, Europe, America, even to Africa and Australia, we had made our way. And whenever in a crowd or conversing with a stranger 1 would notice my mother looking at ber opal ring, which she wore on the third finger of the right hand. One summer we had wandered through Russia, ha-1 spent some time on the Rhine, and finally brought up in a tittle town among the mountains of Switscr lancL Here ray mother was taken ill with a general decline of the heart, as the village doctor called it 1 was very much frightened and wanted to tele¬ graph for a celebrated man from Paris, but she said: "No, Carl, do nothing whatsoever.

Your father was vt that country, yon know." 1 did not know, for she had never told me anything about him; but 1 did uot interrupt, and she continued: “Well, one night I waited and waited for Robert to return.

Ono night 1 fell aahip in a chair by the hearth, and lied the strangest of dreams.
