sorrow.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The traditions Of treasures burned bg
the pirates Of Kidd. Laftte and Black
beard give q romantic interest to the Ats
lantic Coast from Massachusetts to Geor4
gia. Thousands of men have searched
for these buried chests of gold, but there
is authentic record Of only two finds, .
one on the New England Coast, the othca
in Virginia. The latter case is said "a
have furnished Poe with the foundation
Of his story the cold Bug" The facts
are briefly these:
in the Atlantic ocean. lying off tho
Virginia coast, there are two or three
heavily wooded islands. One of these
was the resort of Blackboard, and was
called by his name-Teaeh. a neighbor.
ing island a century ago belonged TO 20
wealthy woman on the mainland. 1t was
n wilderness which never had been inhah-
itated except by foxes. wild ducks and
other games trusty old slave named
Ben was placed by her in a cabin on the
beach to bring her occasionally game
and fish
one day while walking on the shore Ben
saw a yellow CLEAN in the sand. 1t came
from a gold coin. lie searched breathe
lessly along the beach and found a rusty
iron box, one end of which had fallen ont.
Within was a heap of gold coins, with
crosses ana silver crlcifiXes. The old man
went 10 his cabin and brought an empty
salt bag, which he filled with the coins
He then dragged a heap of brush over the

to mark the place and started for Inc
mainland to give the treasure to his
mistress.
Tradition says that Mrs Henry HettY
was a. bad, suspicious woman, and thaE
when the trusty old negro gave her tho
mass of coin her Joy was equaled by her
terror that he would rob her of the
great treasure which he had left behind
A heavy storm ragged for five days. IL
was Impossible for her to make the voy-
age to the island in an open boat and she
would not trust Ben. nor even her brother
or son, to so with her. At the end of n
week the sea was calm enough for her to
cross, but the sapling, the brush and the
chest had disappeared An unbroken
stretch of sand covered the whole coast
Ben could not find the spot then nor
ever after. His mistress, il is said, kept
him at the search as long as he lived,
aiding him herself, but in vain. Soms
of the gunners who have visited the
island have also searched for Mrs. Hetty's
chest but it has never been found.
Nothing is certain but the fact that the
bag of coins was brought to her and
that the touch Of the gold and her sus4
picions and greed made her life wretchef
to the end. The poor fishermen Of the
coast understand the moral of her story.
When any OF their number grows avarlc-
ious, they say that he has rubbed his
hands against Hetty's iron chest"

Perhaps the fact that a number Of tho
best known artists of to-day have married
their models accounts for their reluctance
to discuss the Trilby question. The men
who have played the part of Little Billes
in the New York studios say they really
are not familiar with models and theia

RESCUED HIS BROTHER.
A Thrilling story of the Heroism OF
German Life Saver.

German Life Saver.
London Gable in the New York SIM
A thrilling story of German heroism at
sea, which goes far to offset some of the
reports regarding the loss of the Elbe
comes from schleswig-H olstein. One
stormy morning last week a fishing vii
lage was awakened by gunshot off the
coast. Fastening to the beach. the people
saw ship wrecked on a reef a mile away.
The crew We're in the rigging. A life boat
was run out, but Harro, the leader of the
crew. was absent.
Eight men, however, rowed out to the
wreck. The crew We're got into the life
boat with the exception of one who was
lashed high up on mast. He was half
frozen, and as the storm was Increasing
and the Hfeboat overloaded it was de-
cided that he could not be taken of
When the lfebOat returned to the shore
Harro had arrived. He asked whether
every one had been saved, and was told
that one remained.
Il will fetch him. said Harro, will
you go with me?"
The men refused, saying that it was i'm
possible.
Then l Will go alone, cried Harro. and
sprang into the life boat. At this moment
his mother came running down and begged
him not TO venture out, reminding him
that both his father and his brother live
had been drowned. Eve was his Youngest
brother, and as he had not been heard
from for years he was supposed to be dead.
For love of me- Harrofs mother
begged, don't go!"
'But the man on the mastr' exclaimed
Harro. Are you sure he has no mother
to mourn his death?"
Harros mother said no more. and her
son and four other men set out for the
wreck which was now quite under water
The waves were so furious that it was
difficult to approach. At last the life boat
reached it, and Harro climbed the mast
and fetched the half-frozen man down.
He was laid in the bottom of the life boat
and Harro bent over him and remained
so until the boat was so near shore that
his voice could be heard. Then he waved
his cap and shouted:
Tell my mother we have saved Eve.
Tell my mother We have saved liver
