DAILY SHORT STORY.
Continued From Page Four.D

highest point during the year Con-
sequentIy the spot was at the lowest
point In fact, il rested on the floor
The colonel bored q hole in the floor
ing, inciining it from the sextant to
the point of the spots contact and, in
sorting a tube, noted a place in the
cellar where the line of vision pro-
longed would strike. Then one night
when the household was asleep he
went into the cellar with a lantern, a
pick and a spade and began TO dig.
He had cut through the cement bot
tom of the cellar and dug down exact
" ten feet when he struck masonry.
It was not very well put together, and
he soon loosened the upper stones.
coming to an open space In this was
an iron box or safe, such as was used
many years ago A blow Of the pick
knocked of the cover, and there lay
mass of gold coins. On the coins lay
q paper, which Colonel Granville read.
His idea derived from the letter
written by his ancestor was correct.
Here was a chest containing a mix
ture Of English, Spanish and other
gold pieces and viii bequeathing the
treasure to found an institution for
the amelioration of the negro race.
Colonel Granville replaced the earth
over the treasure and left it to think
out the problem before him. Such
bequest coming from the original tes-
tator would be absorbed in legal tech
nicalities. Besides, Granville would
not like the notoriety attached to bring
ing out 80 many old coins-coinss that
he knew came from the price of slaves
and probably the loot of piracy. He
resolved to say nothing about this
strange request, but to dispose of it
peacemeal and erect in his own name
the institution for which it was intend
ed This intention he carried out, and
many a negro is now being educated
with the money derived from the sale
of his ancestors.

by the fact that the first Haynes auto
mobile and incidentally the first ma
chlne ever built in this country was
not permitted to run in the streets of
hokomo, Indiana. But time has amply
avenged the insult to this pioneer auto
mobile, for Kokomo is now proud of
the distinction of being the home of
the Haynes factory, and in atonement
the OLD car appears on the streets
every day. The experiments were car
rled on over the most obscure rural
highways, but that they were eminent
ly successful is attested by the fact
that the old car is still running. 1t
was built in 1898 by Elwood Haynes.
The car was not his only pioneer ef-
fort, as he was the first manufacturer
to use nickel steel and aluminium in
automobile construction and was the
first to adopt the magnetic and roller
bearings. These features are now STAN
dard in the cars that have followed
the Haynes.
Robert Murden, who is now the ex-
pert for the Haynes Auto Sales COM
pany, Pacific Coast distributors for the
Haynes, frequently drove the old car
While he was at the factory, and while
there he took w. B. Cochran, vice
president of the Haynes Auto. Sales
company, to the Pennsylvania station
in the veteran machine.
