ings sacred to the ancestral founder I
of the house of Burt.
In the long summer days Jessie's
children play about Peter Burts
knees, Nearly FIVE score years have
passed over his head His shoulders
are bent. and the voice falters nj
times but his eyes preserve the spark
OF their wonted fires.
Watched and cared for by those
who love him, he calmly awaits the
coming of the reaper, into whose gar
ner long since have been gathered the
atoms of his generation.
A few miles away another mansion
fronts the ocean. James Blake and
his fair Edith have been blessed with
two children and with each others
love. A roguish boy bears the name
OF John, and dainty little miss re-
| spends to the name of Jessie. James
Blake is now in fact as well as in
name the head of the great firm so
conspicuous in this narrative. In
thousand ways he has merited the
confidence reposed in him by John
Burt. Generous as yet, almost to a
fault, he has acquired with RESPONSE
bility that breadth of view and poise
of Judgment which found its highest
expression in the man who made his
success possible.
Retiring from active business when
most mon are making start, John
Burt has devoted his time to the
study of craftsmanship in it's purest
sense. Political honors have crowded
upon him. There are thousands who
share the confident faith of his low
ing wife that the highest place in the
gift of the people shall some day
crown his career.
There are frequent reunions in the
old farmhouse or on the spacious
lawns surrounding John Burt's resi-
dence. Once a year Sam Rounds su

Seek Buried Treasure.

For some months past number OF
laborers have been digging in the dis
trict of the. Black River mountain on
the island of Mauritius, for treasure
valued at from twenty to thirty mil
lion pounds, supposed to have been
buried at the time of the British con
quest or some time before by the
French officials. Laborers are work
ing under the direction of an overseer,
who is himself the employe OF a com
pany formed for the purpose of dis
covering the treasure. The pirates
who at one time infested Mauritius
and made it their headquarters buried
their treasures in various parts OF the
island. Some of these have been
found by the islanders from time to
time. 1t is, however. believed that
many people at the time of the British
conquest buried whatever money or
valuable goods they possessed. Part
of the treasure which was buried at
Black River was placed there by some
French officials. Documents exist
showing that it was buried. Work IL
