Pierre sailed away from st. Malo
and came to Montreal. He went to
the old clearing where his grand
fathers cabin had been. The high
rock was there and the great tree.
The ruin Of the cabin was there.
Near by a bend of the rivey were
some fisher huts and the fishermen
and their families were good, simple
folk. They came there in summer
and went to the pine forest in winter.
"Pierre digged for the gold and
silver in the leather bag. He found
the bag and treasure as his grand
father had said, but the bag was
heavy with silver pieces. He bore it
on his back to the shore in the night
to a place near some rapids and rocks,
and there found an Indian canoe, and
put it on board. and planned to cross
the stream to the French settlement
on the opposite side Of the river be-
yond some rocks in bend Of the
rushing tides. He hoped to hide the
treasure in the cabin of a wood
ranger or river hunter there till he
could return to France.
'He padded out into the waters,
when the canoe began to whirl around
and around. He padded hard, but
the canoe moved in circle among
the high rocks and eddies. He pad
died all night. In the morning he
was still beating the waves and the
fisher folk saw him from the shore.
The little canoe whirled around like
a top, for the tide was growingstrong.

the foaming eddies.
Pierre cried the folk from the
shore, throw over the bag, Pierre;;'

as if to lift it. Then he hesitated.
He could have lifted the bag, but
something held him back. Gold!

Dug Out 10 Millions.

The gold output of the Cripple
Greek district for the year ending
December 81, 1902, was something
over $19, 100000 The Cripple Creek
district proper includes an area of
about four by ten miles, and this
limited area produces annually 25 per
cent of the gold produced in the
United States The indications are
that this output will be greatly in
creased in the near future, owing to
the fact that the ore bodies have
widened out in the lower levels of the
deepest mines. The tonnage for 1902
was the greatest in the history of the

ing about rare aud beautiful gems, ones
thoughts naturally revert to South
Africa, or the Orient, or the mountains
of Asia and Europe, or perhaps to
South America, bat one is not likely TO
think of our own land yielding them
but the fact is that no insignificant
value of gems is taken from the soil
right here at home
Diamonds represent only 500 Of
this amount, but the fact that they are
found at all gives encouragement to
the hope thst paying fields of them may
some time be found. Last year one dia-
mond was found in Lee county, Geor-
gia, where they were not before known
10 exist. New Mexico furnished sl18,-
900 in turquoises, and these have been
placed on the market. Montana gave
us 800, 900 In sapphires, which come
next. They come from Fergus county.
Granite county is now being explored
for fancy colored sapphires, that give
evidence of being therein paying guam
titles. Fine and extensive rhodolite
garnet deposits are found in Macon
county, North Carolina. Many dark
green, blue and yellow beryls, as wei
as amethysts and emeralds, we're found
in that state. There is hardly state il
the Union in which there is not some
trace of precious stones, and it appears
not at all unlikely that before many
years we may be competing with The
Old World in furnishing gems.

PHARAOH'S CORN FAKE.
Crop Proves to Have Come from Seed 6
Boy Planted.

Stray Stories.
Some time ago there was Won
derful story in the European journ-
ais about certain grains of ancient
Egyptian corn which had been plan
ted in Germany and had come to
life.
The grains, they said, had been
found in an Egyptian sarcophagus
and had been planted by Dresden
florist. Some days later the corn
appeared above ground, much to
the surprise of scientists, who did
not suppose that there was any life
in grains which were from d, 900 to
5000 years old. The corn, how
ever, was certainly growing, and
even the most incredulous among
them soon became convinced that
grains have lease of life to which
there is practically no limit.
Alas! A boy employed by the
Dresden florist has now confessed
that he planted some other grains
In the same place where his master
had planted the Egyptian ones and
only few hours after the florist
COMPLETED his work. This was cad
news for the scientists and for the
numerous journalists who had writ
ten enthusiastically about the mira
culous qualities of the ancient
grains.

READY TO BUILD NEW BRIDGE.

City os New Haven Awaits Action of
 the Town of Orange - Meeting To-
 Night.
 The preparation for this citys part in the construction of the Kimberly avenue raised bridge which has been ordered by the secretary of war will be held up until the result of the second Orange town meeting, which has been called for this evening. will be made known. On the afternoon of Saturday, May 3, the citizens of the neighboring town voted at town meeting to pro- ceed with the carrying out of the sec retary's order. Others, however, have brought about the calling of another meeting to be held this evening the claim being that the afternoon session of week ago was packed with sympa- thizers of the railroads which are in favor of raised bridge as against a draw.
 City Engineer Kelly eays that should the meeting this evening decide to ad- here to the action. of week ago the bureau of compensation of the local government will at once be ordered by the director of public works to proceed with the laying of assessments for ben etiits and damages to owners of proper ty adjoining the graded approaches to the proposed bridge. Similar action will be taken by the officials of Orange. But whether the work will be undertaken promptly depends, as is shown, upon the action of the people of Orange this evening.
