O, kindly, generous Irish land,
So leal, so fair, so loving
What wonder the wandering Celt would
And dream of you in his rowing.
The alien home may have gems and gold
Shadows may never have gloomed it,
But the heart will sigh for the absent
Where the love-lights first illumed it.

A bride from the south entertained,
a few evenings ago, some friends,
who especially admired beautiful
silver sugar bowl among her wedding
presents-"bridal gifts,' as she called
them, in the southern idiom.
Whom is that from?" asked one
who is intimate enough to make such
an inquiry. The bride hesitated a
moment.

Nobody sent a sugar bowl and l
wanted one worse than anything else.
Aunt Caroline lives in Baltimore, you
know, and her spoons were from the
same store that I had an order on
from Colorado. So just sent them
the spoons and the order and asked
them to send me a sugar bowl Of the
same value. They wrote that they
didn't have any sugar bowls as cheap
as that but were sending me four to
select from at different prices.

was one Of the four sent, so I made
Jack take the carving set to the store

seems TO have kept whole COM
munltleS IN turmoil for centuries and the
certainty that huge treasure repoSed in a
marked location where a few hours OF dig
glng should disclose ii seems to have driven
many searChers to the very verge OF insanity.
For instance, DucaSSe. the greatest of all
treasure hunters. who died in 1897 after
making, finding. losing, and recovering sew
eral fortunes, certainly shortened his life in
his mad hunt for gold.
No more alluring or more battling quest
can be imagined than the great King John
Treasure buried near LVnn in NOrfolkShire.
When the profigate monarch was finally
driven to exile and death in Scotland he
took with him the entire royal treasure col
lected after his last burial OF treasure and
all the royal regalia of the Norman Kings,
including the crown of King Alfred. \
Brush Museum expert has estimated the
total value at twenty-five million dollars.
Il numbered his flight and he was compelled
to bury it, according to his own account.

with II a cOronet. Stupidly, they did not
pursue their search further. and now no one
knows where the we'll was sunk.
Quite tantalizing is the history of the
Treasure OF Guerdon, as it is called. 1t
takes its name from the famous old convent
OF this town, and here in the sixth century
great stores OF wealth were collected from
smaller ecclesiastical establishments to pre-
Vent their falling into the hands of Norman
pirates. This Was Just before the death of
Clovis. When the invaders sacked the place
they failed to find anything but minor
works OF art and the Conmoner things of
value Following their custom, their cap
tiveS were put TO death, and fire and
weather effaced the marks which had been
put on stones to guide the owners of the
treasure to its recovery.

A French Girl the Medium

THERE is growing belief that portion of the
l. treasure has been found. Some seventy years
ago young French girl called g La Blonde Camille ,,

after study of her phenomenon by many learned
men and sought to gain through her unusual gifts

under the strain At last she appeared to get some
clue. and the physician hurried her to the ruins OF
the abbey. 4 few days later the girls mother
ceived letter from the physician, in which he de-
clared that the child was dead and her body would
be found of the tOmbs of the abbots. The
letter went to state that the mother would

OF soldiers was sent to the ruin, where they
found the girls body without mark Of vio-
lence stretched on a sarCophagus. The
promised money came regularly TO the
woman through Partisan solicitor. and
about twenty years ago a son of the ply

stances. appeared in Paris and is now living
there, the pOsseSsor of a splendid income.
More fascinating than a romance are the
the Rouvlcre Quest, getting its name from
the Marquis OF Rouviere. Behold a man
who received most strangely the exact loca-
ton OF q long forgotten treasure atteSted
by i King and dozen of his mobiles. and
yet the indicated spot rewarded him nothing
for lifetime of digging. The young mar
qulS was IN the last century an attaChe at
the court OF St. James, representing France.
One day there came to him stranger, who
introduced himself as French savant max
ing research by royal permission in the
Tower of London. The antiquarian said
he had found in the bottom of a chest Of
trophies in the Tower small locked and
sealed copper box. To this a key was az
tached. but the key was bound by a parct-
ment which was covered with heraldc seals
and with each seal, of which there We're
fourteen. was the signature of an illuStriol,s
Frenchnan. Among the others the sava-lt
showed the seal and signature of the mar
quiS'S grandfather, who had been guillotinei
IN 1928. When the contents of the box
were disclosed. there was great excitement
among those present.
The papers within set forth that when
Saint Louis founded Sainte Chapele he was
the possessor of the whole treasury Of
France. In his pious enthusiasm. he had
made 70 be placed in the nave heroic figures
