London. May N.-Nearly, 900 years ago q
golden cradle was buried In Torn. Swe-
dish island. and now a diligent search for
1t is being made.
In ITO vessel, laden with costly Jewels.
rare furniture and other articles Of great
value. was wrecked near the island. The
inhabitants murdered the crew and took
possession Of the cargo. which comprised.
among other things. beautiful golden era
die, the gift Of a German Prince to the
Swedish Queen, Ulrica Eleanora The booty
was distributed. and the clergyman Of the
island received as his share a beautifully
carved and bejeweled walking stick.
This clergyman went soon afterward to
the capital to take his seat in Parliament,
and he took the stick with him. whenever
no appeared on the street people admired
the cane. The King summoned him and
asked how he had acquired such q work Of
art. Thereupon the clergyman told him Of
the shipwreck. OF the murder of the crew
by the islanders he said nothing.
The King, however. suspected, and sent q
troop OF soldiers to the island with instruc-
tions to bring back all the treasures from
the ship. The islanders. however. concealed
the treasure SO skillfully that the soldiers
were obliged to return home empty-handed.
Some years later an old farmer on the
island was very sick. and as he felt that
his end was near confessed to the clergy
man that he had buried in his garden the
golden cradle Of Queen ulrica Eleanora.
The place where he had concealed 1t he
then described exactly. and he begged the
clergyman to get It and send II without de-
lay to the Queen. The clergyman promised
to fulfill his mission, but hardly had he
left the room when the sick farmer re-
pented Of what he had done. He decided to
battle the clergyman and keep the cradle.
Consequently. though at deaths door. he
got out Of bed. and. staggering to the hid
ing place, managed to remove the earth.
take the cradle out Of the hole and carry 1t
to another part Of his farm. where he
buried 1t. A day or two later he died. After
the funeral the clergyman dug to no pur
pose for the cradle. -js,..s
