EGG STORY WORTHY
OF EASTER.
Needn't Believe It II You Don't
Want To, But Record Shows
Mortgage Paid.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Tyson, Vt.-Ezrs Burt, who lives
about q mile eas. OF the Corners, has
q hen which no amount OF money
will buy. II is a scrswney, III ap-
pearing fowl, with draggled feathers
and semi.bald head, and what Is
more, 1t has laid only one egg in its
two years existence. Still, old Betsy,
as the hen Is called, has a niche In
Ezra's 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 a raised water line map OF the
spot where old jeremiah Burt, Ezra's
| z. eat grandfather, buried his gold at
the time OF the Revolutionary war,
and with the aid OF this map Ezra
recovered the treasure. just how
much this was no one has been able
to find out, but 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
secreted wealth forty years ago, al.
ter they had searched and dug until
they were tired out. They knew that
the psternal Burt sunk his gold
somewhere In the earth, and went off
to war without telling his family
where he had placed II further than
that 1t was an the farm.
Last summer q gypsy came along,
selling beads and laces, and offered
to 90 into a trance and solve the
treasure riddle, provided Ezra
boughts dollars worth Of Ter wares.
Burt took up the offer, and In her
trance the woman said that some
day an old scrawny hen would lay an
egg on which would be found q map.
II this we're followed the treasure
would be found. Ezra thought he
was "stung," but he paid the dollar.
Nothing more happened until a
month ago, when Betsy was ioundin
the woodbox behind the kitchen
stove. Mortified at the idea OF hav.
Ing q hen In her kitchen Mrs. Burt
shooed her out, and was surprised
to find an egg nesting In the shaw
ings. The egg had peculiar raised
lines on the shell, and Ezra vas call
ed. He remembered the prophecy Of
the gypsy and carefully studied the
she'll. Sure enough, there was map,
with little star at the base OF an
old maple tree In the sugar orchard.
With pick and shovel Burt set
forth, and an hour later returned
with a discolored copper soap kettle,
heavy with gold. The family kept
the secret until the mortgage was
paid, when 1t became common prop.

how much money he found In the
kettle have failed.
