CHAPTER XIII.

Pennington was buried in the yard
of the church wherein he had taught
school. No detail of the arrangements
was submitted to the Major. For a
time he held out that the family bur-
ial ground was the proper place for
the interment, under the trees where
his father and his mother were laid
to rest, but Louise stood in strong op-
position to this plan, EEL though ap-
pearances called for its adoption. So,
after this, the Major offered no sug-
gestion.
At the grave there was no h~ysterical
grief. The day was bleak and the

arm about his daughter and said that
she must go home with him.

not look up at him. But please don't

don't urge me. Let me have my way
just a little longer.
He stepped back from her and Mrs.
Cranceford took her arm and led her
away. The Major slowly followed
them. He felt that inquisitive look of
a neighbor, and his shoulders stiffened.
In a buggy the mother and daughter
had followed the hearse; the Major,
Tom and big Jim Taylor we're driven
in the family carriage. Louise was to
go back to the desolate house. The
Major stoutly opposed this, pleaded
with her after she had seated herself
in the buggy, clutched the spoke Of a
muddy wheel as If he would hold her
back. She took the lines from her
mother, tossed them upon the horse,
folded her arms, and in silence waited.

The Major stepped back, and with
a handkerchief wiped his muddy hand.
Margaret, l leave her with you," he
said.
Shortly after the Major reached
home his wife arrived, but Louise was
not with her. 81 could do nothing"
she said. when we drove up to the
gate she jumped out and declared that
l must come on home. l pleaded with
her, but she wouldn't yield. Two old

Tells Of a Vast Buried Treasure
HIDDEN ON pALYRMA ISLAND BY SpANlARDS

Buried somewhere beneath the
sands of Palmyra Island, off the coast
of South America, is a fortune await
ing the man who wants to go after 1t.
Captain +. ID. Walker, a retired sea
captain of Honolulu, a y he knows
the location of a million and a half Of
Spanish pesos in bar silver, and cor
trary to the custom of the usual pos
SCISSORS of such secrets he is willing
to share it with all the world. Walker
Is an old man and he wants some one
to go after the silver before it is too
late. He has maps showing the exact
location of the treasure, which he has
made public without any conditions.
Walker is out of a job at present, and
1t is probably his wish that he be
placed at the head of the expedition
which he hopes to organize to hunt for
the buried silver.
Walkers story of the lost treasure
is romantic. He says he obtained it
from an old sailor who was the death
bed attendant of the last of the sur
vivors of the ships crew that buried
the silver. Whether the money is
there or not, Walkers story is inter
esting.
"In the year 1916 the Spanish ship
Esperanto sailed from Peru with a
cargo Of bullion for the Spanish East
Indies" says he. 1.-THE silver bullion
was valued at a million and a half
pesos, and the ship also carried gold
of the same value. The fourth day af-
ter leaving Peru the ship was attack
ed by an independent cruiser and cap
tured. The engagement was severe on
both sides, and the cruiser had to be
abandoned, the crew taking possession
of the Esperanza. Her course was
then shaped toward Macao, the crew
of the Spanish vessel joining the
pirates. On the 43d day after leaving
the Peruvian coast the vessel struck
on a sunken coral, and daybreak
found her helpless in the centre of a
reef three miles long and three miles
wide.
There were hillocks of land about
one mile to the eastward. On clear
ing away the wreck it was found i'm

possible to proceed further, and she
was warped close to the beach of one
island and dismantled. The treasure
was taken out and divided among the
crews Of both vessels. From the
wreck a small vessel was constructed
and 80 Of the 80 survivors of the en-.
gagement departed upon her, leaving
ten men to guard the remaining silver
treasure, the gold bullion being taken
along. This vessel was never heard
Of a%fterward, and no vessel ever re.
turned for the men left to guard the
treasure. Finally, after a tiresome wait
of over a year, the men decided to
build a small craft and attempt to
make their way to the mainland. They
drew lots as to who should go, as four
were to remain behind to guard the
silver hoard. On the 18th day after
leaving a storm washed four of the six
from the vessel, carrying away the
mast as well. Their provisions also
were spoiled, and death seemed i'm
minent for the remaining two men,
when providentially an American
whaler came in sight and, answering
their signals, took them off.
"One Of the men died on the voy-
age, the other was taken to Mission
City (now San Francisco) on the whal-
err. He was placed in the Mission
hospital and died soon afterward.
Previous to his death he confided to
the attendant the particulars of the
loss of the Esperanza, giving the lati-
tude and longitude of the place and a
description of the spot where the sill
yer was buried. The dead mans name
was Edwards and he was said to have
been well educated in England. 1t vas
from the attendant, an old sailor nam
ed Connors, that | learned the story"
Walker himself has had many ex-
periences and as captain of a vessel
which first discovered Midway Island.
He was cast away upon the place in
1888 anu remained there for IA months
with little food until taken away by a
sailing vessel. He was supposed at
that time to have stolen the vessel
and become a pirate and a large re-
ward had been offered for his capture.

Trouble in the Philippine Islands

1t has leaked out that something is
going wrong with the noble purpose
of educating the people of the Philip
pines up to self-government and exalt-
ed American standards of morality
and honesty in public life.
The Manila Times, the organ of our
imperialists and thick-and-thin sup
porter of their policy in the islands,
let's out the secret in attempting to
explain the wronggoing. at would
SEEM" says the organ, that several
years spent in the tropics have a
tendency to weaken the moral fiber,
make one Indifferent to the conse-
quences of a criminal act and reckless
of any concern for the future"
This obviously implies that there is
extensive decentralization among Amer
leans in the Philippines and that the
fact of the decentralization is notorious
in Manila. The fact has been con
cealed very carefully from the Ameri-
can public, but somebody has found
a copy Of the Manila Times in the war
department and the secret is out.
The Times speaks Of the recent de-
falcations of army officers and civilian
employees as though they were well
known in Manila. 1t calls attention to
the fact, assumed to be notorious, that
"in the majority of instances where
trusted employees have been culpable
they have made little or no effort to
cover up their peculations other than
in the most bungling manner" and
that in leaving the islands they have
made almost no attempt to conceal
their destination.

These facts are offered as proofs
that the climate not only demoralizes
Americans but d%eprives them of either
the ability or the inclination to exer-
else any ingenuity in avoiding the
penal consequences of their criminal
conduct.
In the early days of the imperial en-
terprise its promoters enlarged with
great enthusiasm upon the great
things we were to do for the intellec-
tual, moral and political uplifting of
the benighted Filipinos, upon the
broadening of Apprehension and the
elevation of home politics by the re-
flex influence of our altruistic labors
abroad, upon the opening of fine and
noble careers for American young
men in our Asiatic possessions.
1t is a fine outcome we see. Instead
of an uplifting of the Filipinos by
Americans W. find a downpulling OF
Americans by Filipinos or their eli
mate with it's deadly bacilli of insanity
and decentralization.
Perhaps when General Wood nm
ishes his job of reducing the Mohamr
medans of Mindanao to proper sub
lection he may turn his attention q
the bacilli and stop their inroads upon
American sanity and morals by killing
off the mosquitoes.
If he cannot do that the case of
Americans in he Philippines will be
nearly hopeless
