4 Yale Mystery--The Hidden Bible.

In 1861, when that college building
known as the AthenRum was in
course of erection, some daredevil stu
dent stole the chapel Bible, and skill
fully inserted it within the half-built
walls. The next morning the masOns
went on with their work, and the
book was apparently entOmbed fOrev-
er. An entry in President Stiles
diary informs US of the loss of the
Bible, aud a few years later is followed
by another, cOmmemOratipg the fact
that the thievish student, smitten by
remOrse, had sent word where he had
concealed it. It was of course too late
to recover it, and nothing was said or
done until the AthenRum was remOd-
eled during the last vacation. The
book had been built i'm Just between
the two central windows of the north
wall, and when the floors and beams
had been taken down, one or two Of
the faculty, mindful Of this legend of
the past, ordered the masOns to take
away the bricks anr disiuter the long
buried treasure. It was then almost
evening, and after half an hours in
tffectual search they left of with the
intention of proceeding in the morn
ing. In the mOrning 10 was too late.
Whether some well-infOrmed person
had beeutwatching them from the be-
ginning, or whether some one over
heard the directions given them, is
unknown; but certain it is that when
they resumed work the next day they
found that a few more bricks had been
displaced, and an Oblong cavity was
disclOse1 where the book they sought
had evidently been. Where it Is now
is unknown. IL is another Of Eale'S
mysterious disappearanccs. - YGie
