Came Back in a Saucer.

When I was in Atlanta, Ga.,«ome time ago, said Mr. Constine, I was invited by a friend to visit a peach cannery in which he was employed. After I had completed my tour of the cannery I missed a valuable charm that I had been wearing on my watchchain. I was sorry to lose it, for it was the gift of a dead sister. I offered a liberal reward, but to no purpose. I returned home, and gave up all hope of recovering it. About two months ago I came to the Pacific coast on business. 1 I arrived in Seattle about two weeks ago, since which time I have been visiting friends who live near Yesler avenue. Yesterday noon I was down town and stepped into a restaurant for lunch. After eating a very hearty lunch I called for peaches and cream. I started to eat the peaches, and was in the act of cutting one when the spoon struck some hard substance. I worked the substance out and held it up to the light. It was my missing charm. The story is a strange one, and I certainly should hardly be willing to believe it myself if it were told to me by a stranger, but nevertheless every word of it is strictly true. The only way I can account for the mysterious disappearance and recovery of the jewel is that it became detached when I was watching the operation of a new coring and paring machine in which I was much interested, and fell among the peaches without my noting it and was thus strangely recovered.
