81 cast of all to her." said Purcell,
with emphasis.
Burt turned on to the road which LED
between the pond and the beach, ana
purcell walked slowly toward mis-
house thankful that he could see nc
light in Rates window.
"She had much better be asleep than
watching for mo as she does, ne
thought. "She ought to trust me-she
might know l am working Tor her
What was that?"
purcell stopped suddenly as he
walked and listened. A distinct halloo
had sounded in the air-A loud, I'M
lucrative cry-or had it been his dis
turbed Imagination?
He listened for a moment, but he
heard nothing more, and he went on
and entered the house.
He did not stop to light a lamp. but
groped his way up to the little room
under the roof where he slept.
AS he lay down upon his bed ne
thought he heard the cry repeated. but
he would take no more notice of it.
So disturbed had been his mind that
he refrained from looking at the paper
he had taken from that mysterious
chest.
Il will have clear head when I look
at that" he thought. Somehow. my
thoughts are not coherent tonight
and no wonder
Richard Burt, going along the high
way, had heard that cry, and stopped
to listen, as Purcell had done. But he
had done more; he had turned back
and gone in the direction of the sound,
and had heard it repeated. I ap.
peared to come from the hills in the
direction of Long Beach, and he felt
certain it was cry for assistance.
81 might as we'll make night of it, "
he said, as he ran along In that direc'
ton.
He shouted an answer as he went.
and then there was silence for some
minutes. When he had gone few
rods he called again, and received a re-
Spouse, distinguishing the words this
time. They were:
Hurry up, if you cant"
The tone had that imperative SOUND
that pain will give to the voice.
Burt increased his speed as he heard
it. In a few minutes he reached the
shore of an indcntation between the
hills on the coast-a place not more
than three or four rods wide where
the beach was stony.

CHAPTER II.

cts all cheat" said Burt, impa-
tiently, as Purcell stood, with the pa
per in his hands, his eyes fixed vacant
ly upon it, while the shovel and pick
lay, unused, by his side. "Who in the
name Of all that's horrid, did this deed,
don't know, and don't want to know!
Let's hurry up now and get clear of
this!"
He seized the shovel as he finished
speaking, and began to work rapidly,
and Purcell thrust the document he
held into his pocket and mechanically
began to work, also.
Neither of the men spoke for some
time, and nothing was heard but the
sound of falling sand and the low
swash of the waves.
The clouds were parting and the
stars shone forth, giving some light to
the two men, They did not pause
until they had carefully concealed, as
we'll as they could, all signs of their
work.
81 shall come here by light in the
morning" said Burt, stamping down
the sand. II am not going to leave this
place without fixing it so that folks
won't be likely to find out anybody's
been to work here. 1t wouldn't be a
nice joke for anyone to discover we
had been digging here, and then come
prospecting about to see what we had
been doing. Ugh! It's a bad bust
ness!" and Dick Burt shuddered as he
spoke.
think it's our duty, Burt" said Pur-
cell, speaking very slowly, to inform
the authorities of our discovery. It's
about sure crime has been commit
ted, and we ought to let them know"
Don't you do it," cried Burt, quick
ly. II shant allow it, What's the
use of making fuss about it? Then
everybody will raise great cry as to
why we've been digging here in this
way. And what shall we tell em?"
Burt hal taken the right course with
Purcell. The elder man shook his
head.
True" he said. 1--WE could not tell
them we had been looking for treas
ure. All the men on the shore would
begin digging. No; we must keep it
to ourselves. We have made mis-

We'll succeed 1t only requires pa
thence, and we'll be rich men YETI
Burt looked at his companion in as
constituent. He had believed that
Purcell would have given up the idea
Of searching further, after such an ex-
perience as they had had that night.
He did not answer. His nerves had
been somewhat shaken, and he wanted
to be alone and think matters over. He
only said:
Come on, now! It's time we went
home. I'll see you again in day or
two; and in the meantime want YOU
to promise me not to do anything about
searching for the treasure without me.
You know, we are partners"
Eyes; ! know. promise"
Burt was satisfied to have his word
and the two men went forward toward
home. AS they parted, Burt said:
Not word OF this nights work,
| Purcell. Eh2"

blel with eagerness: the moments
that passed in that search seemed the
longest he had ever spent. Ho kep'
silence, but Burt swore deeply.
At last the lantern was found and
lighted, and in few moments more
they had cNsavated tho chest and were
trying to pry it open with their pick
axes.
Neither of them spoke. and the faces
of both were white. their eyes shining
f1ercely. The heavy plank lid yielded
to their blows and came slowly up.
Purcell caught the lantern and sent
it's rays over the inside of the chest
but the contents were concealed by
folds Of coarse cloth that seemed to
have huddled in on top.
The next moment the cloth was
snatched away, and the eyes OF the
men were prepared to be dazzlcd by
the CLEAN OF gold.
What was there?
If the faces Of the men could have
been paler than they WERE they would
have whitened as they looked. Their
eyes seemed startling in their glare as
they were flied on the object before
them.
The sharp and concentrated rays OF
the lantern fell upon the shriveled
form of child. 1t was skeleton,
with the skin clinging about it, the
faded, fair hair still attached to the
skull, a thin ringlet Of it falling over
one sunken eye-socket.
1t was moment before either of
them could speak Horror overcame
the shock of disappointment they felt.
Whose work is this? ?" finally whis-
pered Purcell in a tremblin gtone.
1.-The devil's!" answered Burt; "and
we are the devils own fools for having
dug here. If we had any wit we might
have known, when we came upon the
chest, that the pirate never could have
put it here. for it's not likely that they
took chest like this out of sinking
ship into little rowboat, and then
packed in the gold. We are simple
idiots-that's what we are!"
The sound of his own voice seemed
to give Burt courage. But Purcell did
not, apparently. hear him. The old
man stood looking down into the chest
in silence.
Burt put one hand to his shoulder,
saying. harshly:
"Well, WHAT'S to be done with this
job? l don't care to be taken up for
child-murder. How long has this been
buried here? You ought to be learned
enough to know"
Still Purcell did not answer, and
Burt went on:
'We'd better not stay here long: it
wouldn't be nice at all if we should be
found here. Let's cover up the thing
as quick as we, can. Well dig some
where else for treasure next time"
Eyes, we must bury it again" said
Purcell at last; but let's see if there
is anything that gives any clue to the
the perpetrators of this crime"
Purcell bent down on his knees by
the chest, while Burt, too superstitious
to have touched the object himself, yet
looked on with intense interest.
Purcell removed several stones from
the chest-stones which seemed to
have hurriedly been placed there for
no obvious reason, unless it was de-
sired to add weight. He lifted the lit
tie skeleton carefully.
Underneath lay roll of paper, dark
and damp, and which would have fallen
to pieces had not Purcell taken great
pains to preserve it.
That was all. The strictest further
search revealed nothing more.

" Have you no fear about losing the way :?

Are you strong enough to say no? Are you
strong enough to throttle every base passion

There is nothing heroic in self. Very little
moral leverage can be found in an unregene-

When certain divine was a younger
man and chaplain at the University
OF Pennsylvania, like other ministers
who filled that position he was much
troubled over the apparent lack of at
tention from the students during the
morning exercises in the chapel.
The exercises hardly ever continued
for more than fifteen minutes. Some
of the students were in the habit OF
taking their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their tardiness of the
night before in not preparing their les
sons.
The young chaplain was DESTROYS of

preceding his customary five minutes
address he spoke as follows:
