 Strangers locked at him open-mouth- ed. His coat was of caifskin-the hair outward; his trousers Of homespun, his hair and beard braided in queues for convenience sake.
 Why, it's Will Bu~nappl" cried one that had known him.
 "Yes, friend" said the old man, 'and how's the whig party dOing?"
 He wandered about Watertown, fol- lowed by a curious crowd, that made sport of his strange garb, his uncCuth manner and his still stranger speech But, good nltGred and simple, he gave little heed to their sport and, after an hour III fTont Of bulletin board, sham bled away to his wilderness home.

 Half 2 century or so ago the craze of revived in the farm lands about Hopkinton. Men ruined them selves and their families in ,he effort to transmute basef metal into gold. Burnapp was one. He abandoned the blow for the crucibie. His kitchen be- came his laboratory. The craze soon had it's run among ether hard-fsted men Of the plow, but With Bn-napp it never died.

T1en he would turn to those stranS books, heritages of the middle ages books musty with the taint of time written in strange figures and filled with mystic symbols.
 One night the farmhouse burned i brighter than any enc had seen it bs- fore.
 "OId Burnapp's at his tricks again, said the neighbors, peering across the wasted fields. And. indeed, he was. The retorts steamed fiercely; the tes- tubes sputtered over the green flame of the burners; the air was heavy with the reek of potent gases. Over his in struments stood the man, p2e~ing in- to each bubbling decoc,icn with eager face. His eyes burned almost as brightly as these uncanny fires. His Iorg, taper fingers stirred fsverishly among the crucibles. In the back ground moved his wife, pale, fear stricken and watching.
 There was a fierce and sudden cry. Burnapp fell back from his instru- ments, his face contorted.
 'FWifel wife!" he shriehed. Gold! 1 have found it at Isst."
 Waving his arms as one possessed ne rushed out and down the road; he burst into the nearest neighbor's hous9 and flung himself before them.
 Gold! gold!" he cried. T have found it."
 He stretched out an almost fieshless hand. In the hollow palm lay a bright yellow ingOt.
 'Gold," he screamed, mad with joy. T have found the secret of the ages,"
 It was sold, certainly enough. At daylight tfe news ran through the farm lands.
 They came from miles to see the man that had solved the quest of centuries. Willoughby Burnapp set the fires ablaze again. Before their eyes the tubes and retorts bubbled and boiled; there came the scent of chemicals and then, before them all, Burnapp drew forth an ingot of gold.
 See" he cried, "I have solved the mystery"
 They went away bewildered. In the corner sat the wife, worn to q spscter When the last one had clattered away she put her head in her hands and wept.
 Burnapp gave no heed. Again the vessels boiled upon the fires, giving ID lt the end their single yellow ingot As each one was dono Burrapp tossed it b his wifo and she thrust it into her bosom. Then, the chemicals gave out.
 Wife" said Burnapp, give me the gold you have hid. l must have ma -erial."
