Buried Treasures In ENGLAND.

There must be good deal Of treas
ure In the form OF church plate and 80
forth concealed In different parts Of
the country, as quantities OF 1t were
buried at the time of the dissolution
of the monasteries. There are two
legends In Worcestershire regarding
some silver bells. for instance, which
have been handed down most persist
emily from one generation to another
since the sixteenth century. One YER
sion OF the story Is that the bells were
buried by the last abbot OF Evesham,
Abbot Iichfield, In subterranean
passage which formerly existed be-
tween the abbey and a house ON the
opposite bank Of the river, while the
other story has 1t that peal of silver
bells was buried Mt the same period

pride thrown to the stormy winds that
blew the fringe of her shawl into her
eyes.
Realizing that he could not hear her,
she started after him. but by the time
she had covered half the distance sea
Of white swept In between and bl6tted
him from view.
She hurried on, calling his name re-
peatedly, but the furious wind tore at
her breath and walled her about with
tleecy clouds, She never even made the
bluff

the drift had filled her tracks. II she
could only strike the trail! In despera-
ton she turned to the right and turned
to the left. but one turn offset the
other
Thus she struggled ON and ON and
still on until In spite of the biting cold
the perspiration burst from every pore.
This was well enough as long as she
kept moving, but when the time came
that she must stop she would freeze
all the quicker for her present warmth.
This. being born and bred of the
northland, Lorena knew, and the
knowledge kept her toillng, toiling on
until her tired limbs compelled q
pause in the shelter of bluff. She

great beast, strong as mastiff. He
emitted low snarls as he skunk In half
circles across her front He was un-
decided.
So while he circled, preparing for
spring, drawing little nearer at every
turn, Lorena fell blackjack toward
the bluff, keeping her white face al
ways to the creeping beast.
With sudden Inspiration she took OF
her heavy shawl and threw 1t, blanket

fled desperately. Once clear of the

only thought was to place distance be-

But when. weary and breathless, she
paused to rest, out of the drab drift
stole the lank, gray shadow.
With terrified shrek Lorena ran
and ran and ran as the tired doe runs
from the hounds. At last she stopped,
spent. unable TO take another step.
Looking around, she saw the wolf lick
Ing his hungry jaws, crouehing for the
final spring. With bitter cry she fell
upon her knees and closed her eyes.
Just then two shots rang out In
quick succession. Looking up, she saw

EuneraIs In PariI

According to social usage. women In
Peru cannot attend funerals, and they
do not appear ut weddings unless they
are very intimate friends When n
funeral procession passes through the
streets the coffin Is carried upon the
shoulders of the paHbearers, who are
followed by an empty hearse drawn
by two. four or SIX horses, according
TO the means of the mourners and their
desire for display. All the male mem
bers of the family and friends of the
deceased follow ON foot, with line of
empty carriages behind them. As long
as they are in the presence of the dead
1t Is considered II proper and necessary
evidence of respect TO walk. After the
body has been committed to the grave
those who attend the funeral are
brought home Ia carriages.
