WORKS WHILE HE SLEEPS.

They call him Buck" and he car
ries specials from the Western Union
to the telegraph editor on the third
floor of the Morning News building.
He is freckled face, has red hair, is
only about 10 years old, tall and-but
that's another story.
Buck is all right as a carrier of spe
Gals, but his sub-conscious mind works
over time. That is, the youngster is
asleep oftener than he is awake. Sat
urday night is the busiest night of the
week in every department of daily,
and the telegraph editor is one of the
departments. OF course, when the man
on the telegraph desk is busy the kid
who hustles-for there are occasions
when even a messenger boy moves
rapidly-with specials walks several
country miles during an evening,
Buck did his share of walking Sat
urday night and he almost wore holes
in the three flights of stairs leading
to the telegraph room. 1t was only
natural, then, for the youngster to
drop to sleep along about the hour
for closing shop. This happens to be
about o'clock. and at that hour yes
terday morning the night chief at the
Offices of the Western Union found
Buck curled up in a corner dead to
the world. He shook the messenger
and told him to go home.
Still asleep, Buck left the office on
Bull and Bay streets, walked down
Bay lane to Whitaker without en-
countering an obstacle. and then made
his way to the telegraph room of the
Morning News. He was leaning against
the door when the telegraph editor
looked up from the last piece of copy
and began scrawling $50" With vi
sions of a late special of importance.
after the makeup was in the hands of
the foreman, the telegraph editor-he
was at one time the Ecclesiastical
Editor muttered Sunday-school
word and spoke softly to Buck
Now a messenger boy is not on
speaking terms NTH soft language
and Buck jumped. He felt in his peck
cts for a special, then rubbed his eyes
and remembered that he was on his
way home. AS usual his sub-consctous
mind had been working overtime.

Victims Planted Rods.
Glover would tell the man where to
go and just where to put a rod that
he would give him, Then he would
agree to go with the man the next
night and get the treasure. The
preacher and me would go with him,
and right where the rod was we would
dig down. Sure enough, every time we
would find a casket or an old tin pot
and get the treasure. George would
never ask for his money until he found
the treasure.
But he took charge of 1t and car
ried it to his house. 1t was part of
the contract for him to ship the treas
ures to Philadelphia to be cleaned up.
and the man in Philadelphia that did
the cleaning was TO get half. George
did as he said he would, and saw
the boxes that he fixed up for ship
ment. lie had stamp with William
Weivert Philadelphia, Pa, and he
stamped the boxes. I was with him
when he did IT, But none of us ever
got our share. and he Just took piles
of money from Savannah.
But it's hard 10 get hold of George,
cause he's guarded by the spirits. l
saw him twice Saturday. but he just
disappeared before my eyes while l
was looking for policeman. If l can
just get my hands on him again I'll
sure bring him to an officer"
In the event that George is located
by the police, he will be arrested for
cheating and swindling. The officers
are in hopes that the cry that is being
made against the sharper will cause a
cessation of the treasure digging, for a
time, at least.
