Owner of "Pearl” Took
Long Chance, hut Won
An Important connoisseur recently
found In Paris, after n great deal of
searching, an Immense •black pearl, a
glorious tiling with pink and purple
lights In Its dusky depths. He brought
It to this country and took It to a
widely known Jeweler to have It set.
A few days later the head of the
firm sent for him.
“Mr. Z.” he said, after they were
seated In the Invariable little office,
“I’m afraid I’ve got something very
disagreeable to tell you. I believe your
black pearl Is an Imitation."
“Why,” laughed Mr. Z. “That’s Im
possible! I paid $100,000 for It at
your own Paris house.”
“Nevertheless,” said the Jeweler, “1
do not thin!; It Is genuine. And there’s
just one way to find out—It seems to
be such a perfect thing. If you are a
very good sport you will let us crack
It open. If it Is the Imitation we be
lieve It to be, we will assume the re
sponsibility for our Paris house and
replace It. If Is la real—well, you
lose.”
“Crack away," decided Mr. Z, after
a slight pause. *
The pearl was Imitation.—Katherine
Sproehule and Jane Orart In the Sat
urday Evening Post.
Mount Athos* Famous
Monastery Destroyed
The famous monastery of Chllan
darl, on Mount Athos, built In the
Middle nges, has been destroyed by
fire. Mount Athos, the “Holy Moun
tain,” gives Its name to the northern
most of those peninsulas which ex
tend like o threepronged' fork from
Greece Into the Aegean sen. It con
tains severnl monasteries and hermit
ages standing amid magnificent scen
ery. Access to some of the monas
teries overlooking the sea Is so diffi
cult that visitors have been drawn up
In a sack-shaped contrivance oper
ated by rope. Chllandarl monastery
Is famous for n most valuable MS. of
the Gospels In gold letters on white
vellum, probably given by the Emper
or Andronlcus Comnenus about 1184,
and a treasure chest containing valu
able specimens of Serbian ecclesiasti
cal art. In 1910 Chllandarl was raid
ed by Bulgarian monks from the
neighboring monastery of Zographon.
Caught a Monkey Stealing
One duy In 1910 a well-dressed man,
wearing a heavy overcoat, entered a
Jeweler’s shop In London and asked
to be shown some valuable rings.
Those shown him, he said, were not
quite good enough, and he asked to be
shown another tray. As the attendant
went to get it he glanced In the mirror
specially set to show the counter when
his back was turned, and, to his
amazement, saw a long, hairy arm
suddenly come out of the customer’s
pocket, seize a couple of rings, and
vanish.
Assistance was quickly summoned,
and the man and monkey arrested.
His rooms were found filled with all
sorts of valuable objects which had
been stolen by this clever monkey.
