“What do you find on that?”

Looking at his host ho said : “\\ lint does that mean ? Is there » story con-

nected with it?”

The Englishman laughed.

“Yes, a story in five chapters. Come hereand ho led the way into his library. “There arc the chapters,” ihe continued, opening a desk and producing five enveloiMlH, each containing a letter; “and I am going to apk you to read Ihetn, for 1 nm sure they wilt interest you.

“Did you Write Hnfelaud?” queried

his friend.

“jl'es, out of cartes)’, thanking him, arid telling him where the coin had started and hoW it had probably reached him, and asking him not to return it, but to set it on its travels again in the regular course of business. I had no reply to my letter and doubt whether the Boer ever received it. .Something more than a year later this third chapter arriVed.” He handed the American a large, square envelope of rough paper, bearing the strange postmark, “Irkutc,” Mackor Suet,” and the sheet within WfwTieaded “Yakutsk.” The letter

‘‘For a month I have anlicipatt d the timo wh-n I should be strong enough to write P. O. box 1001, Lou Ion. Dear old, smoky, foggy London! If you only knew bow strong is tbe love that wraps an Englishman’s heart about for his Gieat City, especially wheu far from the place of tits Idrth. you will be able to estimate how such love and longing is increased wUou the Englishman lies for weeks on his back iu a out bed,

thing glittering in the dust of the roadway not twenty yards distant. After speculating upon what it might be for perhaps an hour, I mustered sufficient energy to rise from my hammock and investigate. It was this coin, hut without tho inscription you have noted. Returning to my siesta I began to wonder how it camo there, for not a soul had passed that way for more than a month, except my own men ; and neither they nor I had any gold. IHy wonder grew upon itself until at last it occurred to mo how strange a story such a piece of money could tell if it could rolato its advenjtures, and from that idea it was but a |step lo the inscription and a trial of

1 my fantastic notion.

Tho first timo I visited Sydney, I took tho coin ton jeweler and had him engrave it as you have seen. I put the London P. O. box on, for Loqdog is known tho world around, and 1C01 Is and always has been my box, ( whether in Australia or at home. No sooner was the gold prepared than 1 Istartod it on its journeyings; for I paid it to tho very jeweler who marked it. Now you may read tho letters.” “But,” said his friend, “how docs it come that you have the guinea now, if you parted with it twenty years ago

in Australia?”

“Ah,” replied the other, with a smile, “that may bo termed the sequel to the story of the letters. Read those and then I will add that also.” The first was written upon heavy paper, in Spanish with the following

translation attached;

H. S. M. Sloop of War, Infanta.

Melbourne, Meb. 9th, ISSJ.

Itegpoctoil Sir—I have recently received so English gold pioce which boi'rs the following words: “Write I*. O. II ix 1(101. Loudon.” The same was paid to me some days sinne by n Malay fruit trader while we were at Batavia, Java. Not observing the engraving until the Malay had left tho .ship I am unable to state where heobtainad the money. We are about to leave for Barcelona, and should I have opportunity to visit Loudon during my stny ashore I shall do myself tho honor to personally exhibit the wandering

guinea to Box lOfil.

F With groat respect, I am, Sir,

Xavios Cardknza, Lieut. H. S. M. N.

“This comes next,” said tho Englishman ; “you may wonder at its date, and yet you can probably imagine the tragedy that intervenes;” and he handed a rather dingy sheet to the

^^lerican.

(_ The writing was coarse and unxbrmed but evidently in a man’s hand, in the German language translated as

follows:

Pretoria, Transvaal, S. A.,

June Hth, 1HN2.

I have in my possession a guinea, attached to a piece of gold chain, which I think was a w.itch chain, It is marked Write P. O. 'Box 1001, London, and so I do.

We were together several days, an I When I saw the gold piece was a guinea I ’. JSfus curious enough to ask him where he got It. He said one of his men took it in war ftom an Angra, or West Coast man. I presumo that fellow got It from some wreck or Sven from some dead or dying sailor on the shore. If the piece isof anyparticular value as a keepsake I will send it to Loudon upon ‘tequest. Write me hero.

B The American looked up.

I “Poor Cardenza! Evidently his ship Was lost and the savages robbed hie

'body.”

■ ( The Englishman bowed. | “When I received this letter I made search through the marine records, for I was then at home, and found that in Way, 1880, the Hpnnish sloop of war Infanta was lost oil South Africa and

with a fortyoaliher liolo through one lung. Ne l—that’s mv chum—says I have slept with the ‘home guinea’ clasped iu my hand night after night. Well, 1 may have done so. It is the first thing that has come direct from dear old England to mo in tliroo long years and I doubt tt ever I se i anything so near my beloved home again. I am one of tho ne'er-do-wells who has drifted up and down tho earth, never content, never at rest, until, perchance, put to rest us 1 have been, by an enemy’s shot from behind a mosquito bush. This little coin was paid me for gold dust oao wild night across tho Gulf in Guayamas, Mexico, three months ago, and although guineas don’t grow on trees iu this blnziug desert, I have clung to it. “Write me.

Even my dearest sister, who never gave me up, has lost me; lor I have been ashamed to tell her how low I had fallen.

Write me, here; tor 1 shall never go away. ‘Arthur Jameson. “Yen see how long a timo had passed since the tiiird letter,” said tho Englishman ; “six year.-’. I hud all but forgottou my golden wanderer when this came; but you may know that I wrote at ouco and at length to poor Jameson, dying amid tho horrible wastes of Lower California. 1 even wrote twice ; but uo answer came, and l concluded that his course was run. Bemetimes 1 remembered tho fellow, pitying his loneliness if living; but as timo passed tho recollection slowly faded from my mind, when, two years ago, tho filth and last of the series oame to hand.” Tho American took tho letter. It was written iu a lady’s hand, postmarked “Cranbrooi;, Kent, England,” dated May loth, 13 J2, and ran as fol-

lows :

“Daar Sir: Almost ten years ago my hrmber Arthur, then a hoy of only sevoutcud, ran away from !i »:no.

The American returned the letter to his friend. “How strange it all is, or was,’’said he, in a thoughtful tone; “starting from Australia the little coin wad in Africa, (Siberia, North America, and, finally, England, within the twenty years of its journeyings. But,” continued he, with interest, “this lady, Miss Jameson, desired to keep the gold. Did she afterward give it to you?” “Ah,” replied the host, smiling; “that is the sequel to the story of tho letters, and, like many sequels, the best part of it—Jessie is uow my wife.”—New York Independent.

Regarding a “Flosr” Shave. “What makes my face so dry and dusty?” asked a man in one of the chairs at the hotel barber shop. “You shave too close,” replied the barber. “You get down uuder tbe skin and irritate it.” "Well, 1 have to shave close. I don’t want to bother with shaving every day, so 1 get a shave every other day, and then get a good, close

one."

“There’s no need of that,” replied the barber. “There isn’t so much difference between a single going-over and a very close shave. After the razor has he u over your lace once you can still feel a tine stubble. By a second or third scraping yon can get the face feeling perfectly smooth, but in three hours’ time tho beard has grown out to where it was after tho first go-ing-over. What I mean is that you save only about threq hours by getting what we call a “close" shave, and for a man who shoves every other (lay, that isn’t much of nn advantage. Besides, it irritates the face and is liable to make the skin hard and scaly. A man who shaves himself simply goes over his face once, but in a barber shop tun custotnrr thinks he ts not petting the worth of his money unless tho barficr scrapes for about ton minutes to get rid of that extra three hours* growth of beard.”—Chicago Tribune.^ j Tlirifiy to the Last, An old Lancufhire miller, noted for his keenness iu matters 'financial, was once iu a boat trying bis best to get across the stream witiuh .Irovo his mill. The stream was Hooded, and he was taken past thp point at which he wanted to laui; while, farther on, misfortune still lurther overtook him, to the extent that tho boat got upset. His wife, realizing the danger ho was in, ran frantically along the side of the stream, crying for help in ft pitiful voice; when, to lier sheer amazement, she was suddenly brought to a standrftill by her lunbaud yelling ont: “If I’m drowned, Molfy, dounot for* get that Hour's gone up two elniliu’ a sack i”—Tit-Bits.

ger cities where she has given her oharaiing and masterful rendition of the part this season, she is an artiste of undoubted ability, besides possessing that irresistible personal magnetism and womanly charms that immediately provide her an open sesame to the hearts of all.” This is feeble and rheumatic English, and it is lovely translucent sentiment. “Virtues of mind and body that have never had the advantage of exploitation in the metropolitan press" are brand new to me, but they are virtues that must he very convincing. I am pained to say, however, that they are still lacking that exploitation, although Marie Edith Klee was In our midst for one consecutive week.
