EGG MAP REVEALS LOST GOLD
Vermont Farmers Fowl Shows Where
Treasure Was Hidden in Revou-
tionary Days.

Tyson, Nt-Ezra Burt, who lives
about a mile east of the Corners. has
hen which no amount of money will
buy. 1t is a scrawny, disappearing
fowl, with draggled feathers and
semi-bald head and, what is more, it
has laid only one egg in its entire two
years existence. Still, old Betsy, as
the hen is called. has a niche in Ezras
heart and gets the very best grain the
farm affords.
The secret of all this is that the
one egg Betsy laid contained on its
shell raised water line map of the
spot where old jeremiah Burt Ezra's
greatgrandfather, buried his gold at
the time Of the revolutionary war ana
with the aid Of this map Ezra recov-
cred the treasure. Just how much
this was no one has been able to
ind out, but II is known that the
mortgage on the farm has been paid
off and the Burt family is living in
comfort.
The Burts gave up hunting for the
secr".cd wealth 40 years ago. after
they had searched aud dur until they
were tired out, They knew thot the
paternal Burt sunk his gold some
where in the earth, and went off to
war without telling his family where
he had placed it further than that it
was on the farm.
Last summer gypsy came along
selling beads and laces, and offered To
20 into trance and solve the treas
ire riddle, provided Ezra bought
lollar's worth of her wares. Burt
ook the offer, and IN her trance the
woman said that some day an old
crawny hen would Law an egg on
which would be found a map. II this
we're followed. the treasure would be
ound. Ezra thought he was "stung,"
mt he paid the dollar.
