purcell stopped suddenly as he
walked and listened. A distinct hailoo
had sounded in the ARA loud, m
lucrative cry-or had 1t been his dis
turbed imagination?
He listened for a moment, put ne
heard nothing more, and he Went on
and entered the house.

certain it was a cry for assistance.

he said, as he ran along in that direc-

He shouted an answer as he went,
and then there was silence for some
minutes. When he had gone a few
rods he called again, and received a re-
Spouse, distinguishing the words this
time. They were:

The tone had that imperative sound
that pain will give to the voice.
Burt increased his speed as he heard
1t. In a few minutes he reached the
shore of an indentation between the
hills on the coast-a place mo- more
than three or four rods wide where
the beach was stony.

Capital.

Mr.. Chariemangnc Towers Recital or
"a Recent Disturbance in the Russian
Capital.
C~harlemagne Tower, the United
States minister to st. Petersburg, who
has now been named as the successor
of Minister White, at Berlin, when Wis
iting his home in Philadelphia recent
ly, was telling Of a personal expert
ence in the streets of the Russian CAPT
tai during the recent student riots:
81 knew that the students were
marching and that the police were
out" he said, "but / thought | had TAX
en- a street which would be deserted.
The crowds had moved, however, and
/ daresay there were 100, 900 people in
| sight of my door as I stepped out. It
all looked so peaceful and good-na-
tured that / went ahead. And peace
and good nature are really not inn
proper words to use in connection with
what happened. The students were
shouting and singing In a way that
would have made q mar from Prince
ton or Yale quite homesick for his col
lege, and the crowds seemed to regard
the whole performance as altogether
too amusing to leave.
when the police rode into the
street they had their riding whips In
their hands, but they carried them
very much as the English drillser-
geant carries his bamboo cane, and IL
they used them on the crowd it was
In a manner quite too perfunctory to
be very dangerous. The people laughed
and ran. The officers were practically
as good-natured, although a little more
business-like. The students yelled
louder than ever, and dispersed only
after two or three of their leaders had
been arrested.

| could only think OF a lot of chickens
scattering before the onslaught of a
company OF good-natured school boys"

bled with eagerness; the moments
that passed in that search seemed the
longest he had ever spent. he kept
silence, but Burt swore deeply.
AZ last the lantern was found ana
Iiohted and In a few moments more
they had excavated the chest and were
trying to pry 1t open with their PICK
axes.
Neither of them spoke, and the races
of both were white, their eyes SHINING
6ercely. The heavy plank lid yielded
~ heir blows and came slowly up.
Purcell caught the lantern ana SEM
its rays over the inside OF the chest,
but the contents were ~nceal Dy
folds of coarse cloth that seemed u
have huddled in on top.
The next moment the cloth was
snatched away, and the eyes OF the
men were prepared TO be dazzled by
the CLEAN of gold.
What was there?
If the races of the men could have
been paler than they We're, they would
have whitened as they looked. Their
ewes seemed startling in their glare as
they were lzed on the object before
them.
The sharp and concentrated rays OF
the lantern fell upon the s~hrlyeied
form of q child. 1t was a skeleton,
with the skin clinging about 1t, h
faded, fair hair still attached to the
skull, a thin ringlet of it falling over
one sunken ~eye-socket. .
1t was a moment before either or
them could speak. Horror overcame
the shock of disappointment they felt.
Whose work is Cnis?" finally whis-
pered Purcell, in a tremblin gtone.
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 a chest like this out OF a sinking
ship into a 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? / 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:
WED better not stay here long; 1t
wouldn't be nice at all IL we should be
found here. Let's cover up the thing
as quick as we can. Wen dig some
where else for treasure next time"
Yes, we must bury it again" said
Purcell at last; "but let's see If there
Ia 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 1t was de-
sired to add weight. He lifted the lit
tie skeleton carefully.
Underneath lay a roll of paper, dark
and damp, and which would have fallen
to pieces had not Purcell taken great
pains to preserve II.
That was all. The s~trictest further
search revealed nothing r

CHAPTER Iis
The Newcomer.

"It's all a 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 cloc1s were parting and the
stars shone forth, giving some light to
the two men. They did not pause
until they had carefully concealed, as
well as they could, all signs of their
work.
Il shall come here by light in the
morning" said Burt, stamping down
the sand. Il 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 s~huddered as he
spoke.
/ think It's u duty, Burt" said Pur-
cell, speaking very slowly, to inform
the authorities Of our discovery. It's
about sure a crime has been commit
ted, and we ought to let them know"
Don't you do it," cried Burt, quick
ly. Il shan't allow 1t! What's the
use OF making a fuss about 1t? Then
everybody will raise a 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.
'Trre," he said. wye 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 a mis-
take this time; but we1l succeed-yes,
We'll succeed. 1t only requires pa
thence, and We'll be rich men yet"
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, nowi It's time we went
home. I'll see you again In a day or
two; and In the meantime I want o
TO promise me not TO do anything about
searching for the treasure without me.
0 know, we are partners"
Yes; l know. I promise"
Burt was satisfied to Lave his word.
and the two men went forward toward
home. AS they parted. Burt said:
Nos q word Of this nights work,
Purcell. Eh2"

MAKING A MATCH.
Result of the fnGuisItiveness OF ,
Chinese NObIemRn at an Even
ing Function.

"One of the interesting novelties o.
the social life of the new century /.
the occasional appearance of our Mon.
golian neighbors in society" said 2
matron to a New York Tribune man
at goes TO show how small the worlt
really is and how intimate the nation,
are becoming. AS yet, these visiting
noblemen from the orient are few and
far between, but they will undoubted
ly soon be as familiar sight in our
wing-rooms as are the titled Hin.
docs in England. Although he often
speaks English remarkably well, o
Chinaman has no idea of what con.
ventionally ought or ought not to he
said, and his artless frankness in this
respect is most amusing. He also asks
questions with direct simplicity that
is sometimes embarrassing.
"A Chinese nobleman who was pre-
sented to a young woman at an even.
ing function not long ago began the
conversation after the manner of his
nation by propounding a series OF
questions. At first the answers were
easy. DO you live in New York p
Have you both parents livingT Have
you brothers and sisters?' How old
are youY
These being answered to his salts
faction, he became more particular in
his inquiries.
why are you not married?'
Perhaps the right person has not
asked me- answered the young WON
an, laughing.
Have you any objection to matri.
mony| asked the Chinaman, gravely.
mot in the least she replied, inn
mensely amused by his persistence.
"For the time being he seemed salts
fed, but later in the evening he came
up to her with a young American
who evidently had no idea of what
was in store for him. This is Mr.
Robinson began the old man; he is
graduate of Harvard; he, too, is un.
married, and also has no objection ia
matrimony. Why do you not marry
him?'
"And the odd part of it all was that
he actually made the match, for the
pair, who until then were not &C.
quainted, were engaged not long
afterward."
