iiolen Necklace Myrteriousiy Restored

ROME, Feb. 2.--A curious story

of a stolen necklace re- stored to. its owner under romantic circumstances comes from Venice. For Some

time an old lady belonging to a noble Venetian family has been liv- ing in one of tbeprincipal hotels of the town. A few days ago a mag niflcent necklace of Oriental pearls disappeared from her jewel-case. Though the thief could have taken away many other precious jewels as wall, and a sum of loose money, nothing was touched save the pearl necklace. The police set. inquiries on foot; a reward was offered, bu! nothing came to light.

Several days later a registered letter-arrived at the hotel address- ed to the countess. The letter was sealed wltb an heraldic device, and contained an invitation for the old countess to came at. a certain hour to the altar of the famous Nlcopeia Madonna in the Cathedral of 8t. Mark. The letter stated that if the countess failed to come alone no more would be heard of the neck- lace.

The next day she went to Si. Mark's, and knelt down by the ai- tar named. After a while she felt herself touched on the shoulder, and looking round, saw a man in a fur coat with rcoldrimmcd glasses. and yellow glow-s. The unknown whispered some words into her ear. saying he was in possession of the necklace and that she could have ii back if she would swear before the Madonna not to reveal tho rmma of the person beside her, nor bring any action. The countess nodded her bead. and repeated the oath for the mysterious stranger, who then drew from his pocket. the npcklaos and gave it to her. Kila- ing the old HAITI band. he left the
