You are wonderfull" they would exclaini. 'Yes, l am wonderful.' be would agree, with a self-vaiu smile
 In his youth Hans Christian Anderson was d great traveller, going about Ger many, Switzerland, France, Italy and Eng land By studying the customs of these different countries he was greatly aided In his writing.
 Mans Christian Anderson was born April ?, 1S05. in Odense, q small town on the island of Funen. belonging to Den highly respected by his townsmen as be- ing man of advanced and independent ideas But the mother of Hans was poor, weak-minded creature, possessing unwholesome qualities. and In her ad- vanced age she became sadly addicted to the bottle. Owing to these unplea sant facts about his mother we do not wonder that. Hans was endowed with many short- comings

 The old man put his pipe to his mouth and began to pun away.
 Tom looked at Pete and said; 'I reckon we'd better be off for home.
 Pete returned the look and answered :: .I reckon so." In their haste to be on they forgot to say good-day to tho hermit who sat watching the boys as they ran down the mountainside with their rifles over their shoulders. They had left tho spade at the cave. A funny ii.lle smile played on the old mans bew hiskered face as he muttered to himself: 'I guess they won't poster me by trying to open nn that pesky cave very. soon. l cant be bothered by. human critters runnin' round

 So Pete waited till the next day when, toward the mountains with rifles, ammu. nition. some cold cornbread and boiled nam: and spade This ,ast,named 1dl,,.l of rocks, where Tom had hidden 1T on the previous night. for their purpose ln going up Into the mountains was to re- main secret from their families. It was supposed that the boys were going after squirrel and 'possum.
 Now this spade had been ,"sneaked'' from Toms fathers woodshed for the with wealth, If they were seen carry Ing such an implement the question of It's possible use would be roused. So this plan had been resorted to that secrecy
 As they trudged along Pete asked: Why didn't the owners of the pots of Ss,a Sssl come and git 1t after the war was
 How could they when they was dead and Duriedl answered Tom by asking n question. Not many of 'em lived after reckoo. Aud as nobody but themselves knowed they had hiG 1t there, how could anybody else go an git iti
 It never occurred to Pete to ask Tom how the secret of their hiding the gold in the mountains had reached hs ears, since no one but those now dead had known Of It.
 'sN ow, said Tom, live always felt sure that there's cave up on the side of ti.ia mountain if feler could only find it's opening, It was always in cave that th. treasure was hid in deep holes"
 Till noon the two boys climbed the mountain and peeped Into every crevice between tue rocks hoping to find an en- trance to a cave. At last, tired and hungry they decided to sit down and rest and refresh themselves with bit of f>cd Wish we could find some drink ing water," remarked Pete, who was thirsty. As he spoke they both beard water trickllng over rocks nearby. Being ted by the sound the boys soon came upon a most welcome sight There, hid- den partly from view, was the prettest spring of clear. cool water. Finding seats on big rocks near the spring Tom took from a newspaper wrapper their simple fare and spread 1t out

 ''But the passage into 1t Is full of water" exclaimed Pete. We can't swim in-can weT'
 ..we'll drain the water or," said Tom What else did we bring the spade for, anyway See--the lower edge of the spring IS mostly clay and small stones We can clear away the stones in a jlffy the down-hil side of the spring wall The water will run out and fall over the steep bank Then the cave entrance will be emptied of water and all we've got to do is to git down in the spring and crawl
 Sure, that'll be the, way" agreed Pete, But les have . drink before we git rid of the water We'll feel pretty dry be- fore it runs In again, reckon

Then they set to work with all their might at clearing away, the stone and began with the spade, taking turnabout at digging Far, into the night the, two fatigung, for was not there a reward worth while just inside that grim ledge of rock over their heads But when a streak of dawn appeared In the East they threw down the spade and prepared to rest and snatch few hours sleep They had dug the trench so deep that. already the water WAS running out much faster than 1t was running in. Within an hour the spring would be empty several inches below the tunnel-like opening just opposite the place of outlet In the course of their digging they had discovered that the spring was feed from the bottom, instead of from the tunnel. which they had feared might be the source of its water This information was most pleasing, for now they knew that the opening to the cave if cave there was-would be dry and fit to pass through.
 Hurriedy eating bit of their luncheon they lay down and slept till the monday sun, full in their eyes, awoke them. I'll i" cried Tom, rubbing his eyes. This lazy work won't do. Come, Pete. stir your stumps lively Les take peep at our tunnel
 To their delight the boys found the water low that access to the tunnel was now possible, Quickly divesting them, selves of their outer clothing, they dropped into the spring and peered into the little dark opening, which they felt would lead them to such wonderful discoveries.

As he lay on his stomach exaoainlng the spring he suddenly notived q dark-looking tunnel leading of from one side of the springs wall into the solid rock. As thls tnnnelIike opening wns on tie side of the spring next the high side of the mountain Tom at once arrived at the conclusion that 1t led Into cave. All above them was m insur- mountable ledge of rock rising perpcn- dlcular. It must be that within this ledge cave opened It's mysterious cham bers. The opening from the spring was smal, not measuring more than two feet square.
