youth would say that he had been suddenly instructed to dig hold care fully, and finally he announced that the digging had settled down to a re- gular job.
 He had got big hole dug out in a part of the municipal square that he was not to indicate, and the professor was picking things out of it and get ting tremendously excited.
 The professor and his mysterious pursuit formed the chief topic of con- versation at the Farawayport saloon. MT. Cobb, cross-examined freely un- . der the suspicion of knowing more than he was disposed to tell, protested time and again that he could find out nothing except that the old gent was
 bit weak in the head.
 Finally, Jim Border, in the genial and communicative mood that even village beer had been known to induce, explained that he had got it. Under the
 square of Farawayport there was gold: tons of it. And the old cove from
 New York was keeping the secret to himself and was shovelin it up by the
 cartload. The mystery was explained: Everybody saw at once how com pletely Jim Border had guessed the ! secret. The old gentleman's desire to keep his presence at Farawayport a se- cret, the reliable youths refusal to 1 reveal the whereabouts of the great hole-all pointed clearly to the facts without the shadow of doubt. And Elijah Cobb listened and lis- tened tell his eyes almost started from | his head in his amazement. Beyond all doubt that was the secret of those | square boxes that the professor kept
 in his room; boxes so heavy that Mrs.
 Cobb had admitted that even with the
 help of her eldest daughter she was l only just able to lift them.
 There was he, Elijah Cobb, frittering | away his dull existence in the sordid
 atmosphere of a grocer's shop, when
 over his very head lay the wealth of a I Croesus, the fabulous fortune of a | Monte Cristo. Heavens! the thought
 was maddening. He jammed his hat on
 his head and slipped out of the door
 and strode homeward at a rapid pace. l At the foot of the stairs of his
 house he met tine professor. The old
 gentleman's eyes lighted Up as he
 caught sight of MT. Cobb and he put down bag that he had been carrying
 d stout leather nd-bag that seemed
 distressingly heavy for him. Would
 MT. Cobb mind carrying the bag up-
 stairs? It contained something of al-
 most priceless value, and the professor 1 did not want to have it out of his
 sight
 MT. Cobb said he would be most
 happy. Then he turned cold all over
 and then again he broke out into a
 profuse precipitation.
 l. He picked up the bag and found it

deed, but very active, though as a man of business he was distinctly inferior
 He offered $S a week for bedroom and the use of the parlor, and as Mrs. Cobb afterwards remarked, he could have bought house for himself for that money anywhere in Faraway- port.
 The old gentleman gave his name as Braithwaite. In case, he added, MT. and Mrs. Cobb should desire to know more about him, he would inform them that he was a professor of paleontology connected with the Metropolitan Mu- scum in New York city.
 As far as possible he, desired to have his presence there kept secret, as he believed he was on the eve of a very astounding discovery. It had come to his ears that some neolithic arrow heads, probably to be attributed to the tertiary epoch, had been found in Farawayport and he had come down with authority to investigate the mat ter. If fortune favored him, he hoped to find traces of even the earlier apochs, and the value of such a dis covery would be inestimable.
 He asked Mrs. Cobb if she could recommend a steady and reliable young man, who was not afraid of work, as there would probably be lot of dig ging to be done, and he himself was, unfortunately, not so vigorous as he had been in his earlier years. Mrs. Cobb gave it up. She said she could recommend most reliable youth and she also said that the professor would be as comfortable in her house as in his own home. But at the earlist moment she took her husband on one side and said that no good could come of harboring lunatics on the premises and the sooner the old gentlemans S friends came and put him under re- straint the better it would be for all concerned.
 At the earlist convenient moment she slipped across to neighbor and said that an old gentleman who owned museum in New York was staying with her and didn't want it to be known. And before evening the news | went round Farawayport that Mrs. Cobb had got an old snowman staying at her house, and that anybody with a two-headed puppy or a five-legged calf should try and do g. deal at once, as the old chap was throwing his money about regardless.
 For several days after that the pro- fessor's programme was a regular as it | was mysterious. Attended by the re- liable youth he sallied forth and 1 roamed over the village
 l When in the evening the reliable youth was severely catechised by the curious, he stated upon his honor that the professor had done nothing but l pick stones up look at them and throw them away. Sometimes the reliable

The, professor looked from the paper to Mrs Cobb and from Mrs. Cobb to the paper. Then the absurdity of the situation got the better of him, and he broke into roar of laughter till his mirth was stopped by fit of coughing.
 Mrs. Cobb, brought back from her hysterical grief about the same time, started to her feet, prepared to de- nounce in free and easy terms the be- havior of people who hold the misfor- tunes of others up to ridieule.- But as soon as the professor got his breath he spoke quietly and to the point.
 Your husband is making fool of himself, Mrs Cobb. Don't be alarmed. We will have him back shortly, and ask him for an explanation. Get some one with a trap to drive me to the station. He can't have had very long start, and he will have to walk slowly with Q heavy bag like that. Gold indeed! My good woman, the contents of that bag have no value at all to the people he is likely to meet. If he had only taken the trouble to examine his booty, first, he would have found lItdl cut luf IlillSSils SSI hIS t1 iAs1A with a trap, please, quickly.
 Mrs. Cobb still dazed but somewhat reassured, sent her eldest daughter for the desired trap forthwith. The station was five miles away, and MT. Cobb had undertaken no light task in committing himself to such a walk walk with such burden.
 Driving at rapid rate, the profes- sor, as he had anticipated, came up with MT. Cobb about two miles away. The rascal was sitting by the road

ELIJAH's LOST REPUTATION.

Elijah Cobb is a well known if not altogether highly respected resident of certain Long Island village, which, for convenience sake, we will call Far awayport He is man with a past.
 It is true that since the past oc- cured he has striven by years of dili- gent rectitude to live it down; but news is scarce in Farawayport and the gossips will not readily let a good thing gc.
 I do not, of course, hold brief for MT. Cobb, neither do I in any way ex- cuse the grave error that caused these fanciful stories of his goings-on to rise and grown. But MT. Cobb is at present leading moderately blame less life; and it has always been my view that we should not hasten to condemn our neighbors merely because their sins are not the same as our own.
 One thing is certain. If MT. Cobb had at any time during the past ten years had an opportunity of leaving Farawayport for good he would have seized the chance greedily. But fate and Mrs. Cobb combined to render such a pleasing prospect quite impos- sible.
 MT. Cobb is the grocer and general dealer in Fara wayport, as was his father before him. He is a fat bald headed little man, and at the time of his sad lapse from grace he was proh- ably just as fat, if not quite so bald.
 His offense is deplorably exaggerat- ed by the fact that at the time he was a man of fifty, with a family of eight daughters and two sons; the latter being mere toddlers in pinafores. But MT. Cobb had always felt that he was fitted for a broader and brighter ex- istence than that of village grocer.
 Stories of the great life in New York, that Was bare fifty miles away, occasionally filtered through to Farawayport, and whenever MT. Cobb heard them he sighed grievously and reflected dismally on his vanished hopes and lost chances But for the mistaken views of a narrow minded father, he felt that he, too, might be by now name and power in the great city-a leading light with a box at the { opera and yacht, and a gold watch chain stretching across his capacious waistcoat from pocket to pocket.
 And then he would be called in a hurry to his shop to conduct vulgar argument as to the quality of that last lot of butter, and the very soul with in him would feel lacerated and torn. And that was his life.
