HUNT WITH MOTOR
Old Horse and Rackety Buggy
Must Remain at Home.
Specially Equipped Autos Will
Be Used More This Year.

Each year since the automobile
business reached the central states
more automobiles have been used for
excursion parties and hunting trips
than the preceding year. During the
hunting season of 1911 and 1912 the
number of motors which will be spe-
cfally equipped for the hunter will be
seen on the country highway will
greatly exceed last years record" said
man of the rod and gun fraternity.

superlative degree when the chug chug
| of the hunters auto is heard. All
over the country, but particularly in
the smaller cities within easy reach of
the hunting grounds. sportsmen are
learning how to use the automobile in
their favorite pastime.
Even in the larger cities, the
dweller finds the motor handler than

with comfort and speed and give him

How Long VIII They Last?

It is a peculiar fact that the auto
mobile world is yet cropping in the

ton. Prospective buyers are hesitating
sometimes to close the deal for the car
of their choice because of the lack of

cars to furnish the information for their
i own benefit.

Cocos Island is an ideally beautiful spot.
Its beaches are strewn with huge boulders
on which since the days of Nelson the crews
of vessels calling there have left carved rec
ords. Whalers, men Of war, pirates, pleas
ure yachts, peaceful traders, alike have
'rudely carved accounts of hasty explora-
tions for the treasure, made by them while
replenishing water casks.
There is living in New York distin-
guished engineer, famous for his work in this
country and South America, who is pos
sessed with a desire to find this treasure. 1t
was due to his initiative that the explora-
ton company which suggested that the
United States take over Cocos was organized.
He it is who has worked out Hackett's theory
that hydraulic mining will solve the problem
of how to get at the treasure; seemingly a
practical plan if the money can be found.
Perhaps the risk is not greater than in ordi-
nary mining, provided the treasure is there.

Brewer, a German, in 1892, made an at
tempt; but did not have funds enough for
the work. In 1896, Captain Shrapnell of
the British cruiser Naughty landed three
hundred marines on Cocos Island and for
seventy-two hours the men burrowed the
hills without any success at treasure finding

Englishman, went there in his private yacht

pensive expeditions ever sent to the island
were those by the Earl Of Fitzwilliams, in the
Veronique and the Attiquin. Admiral Bury
Palliser, formerly commander of the English
squadron in the Pacific. had charge of the
Veronique, seven thousand-ton liner, and
FIVE hundred men. Two years ago Earl
Fitzwilliams and his crew nearly lost their
lives when the Attiquin became a total
wreck on the coast of Honduras.

Cocos holds the treasure to-day.

Cords truth! Didn't they tell you
telephoned, my Lord?"
Medenham saw that his retainer would
be more muddled than ever if he realized
that Mrs Devar had intercepted the tee-
phone message; SO he slurred over that ee-
ment. and Dale enlightened him as to the
course taken by events after the departure
of the Mercury's tourists from Bristol.
Dales distress arose chiefly from the
Earl's vows of vengeance when he discovered
that his sons baggage had been spirited
away during the breakfast hour that morn
ing: but Medenham treasured him.
Don't bother your head about that" he
said. III telegraph and write to my father
full explanation to-day You have obeyed
my orders, and he must blame me, not you,
if they ran counter to his. Take charge OF
the car while change my clothes and make
a few inquiries"
Within five minutes he ascertalned that
Count Edouard Alarigny had occupied a
room at the Mitre Hotel, just across the
street. since the previous afternoon. More
than that, the Frenchman was travelling
to London by the same train as the Earl.
Then Medenham felt really angry. 1t was
inconceivable that his father should have al
lowed himself to be drawn into pitiful in
trigue by such doubtful agents as Marigny
and the Countess Of Porthcawl.
"Ill write" he vowed, land in pretty
stiff terms too; but I'm jiggered if I'll wire!
The old chap should have shown more con-
fidence in me. Why on earth didn't he an
nounce his visit to Bristol? Jolly good job
there might have been ructions! Good
Lord! He evidently takes Cynthia for an

Yet in spite of the chance of ructions, IL
would have been far better had Medenham
not missed his father that morning. He was
too dutiful son, the Earl was too fair
minded parent, that they should not be
able to meet and discuss matters without
heat. BY noon they would have reached Sy-
mons Vat; before lunch was ended the older
man would have been Cynthias most out
spoken admirer. As it was-well. as it was
there used to be belief in the Middle
Ages that the Evil Ones favorite nook lay
amid the deepest shadow of cathedral, and
modern fact is ofttimes curiously akin to
