Gruesome Legends Of the Green Fort

The most picturesque object in

OF the windows of the hotels mostly
patronized by foreigners.
It Is a small, craggy island, sur
mounted by hoary walls, which by age
have been darkened to the color of the
rock and is called "The Castle of the
egg" because. according to the Neae
politan tradition. the poet Virgil. who
was an enchanter, built the castle
upon an egg, which he had turned into
rock, and there it stands until this
day, and shall stand until the egg is
broken.
The sailors regard this castle with
great horror, because in olden days a
terrible dragon was kept underneath
It's walls, in pool. separated from the
sea by a grating. On stormy nights
fishermen who live in the neighbor-
hood can hear the dragon screech and
howl, although the terrible creature
has been dead for centuries,
The old castle has had prominent
place in history. It's walls have wit
messed many tragedies, but during the
present generation it has been used as
| a garrison for troops, and a battalion
of heavy artillery occupies It now.
The interior is modernized, although
the guns are antique. and visitors are
allowed to enter If they bring a per-

FIGHTERS IN THE MAJORITY
Veteran Member Of Congregation Was

Representative Harry Maynard of
Virginia tells the story Of how re-

that is, any man who had attacked
another with a pistol or a razor.
At the end of the year, IL the Of

The largest gold producing country
is the Transvaal, where the output in
creased from $S,000,0O0 in 1889, to
S133 600, 900 in 1907. The increase in
the production of the Transvaal mines
made during the year 1907 almost
equaled the entire production of the
gold fields in Alaska. In round figures,
the worlds production Of gold from
the discovery Of America in 1892 to
1880 was about ,3O0,00O,O00. The en-
tire worlds supply of gold could not
have been in excess of s6.500,000, 900.
The last 80 years has doubled this sup
ply, and IL the present production is
maintained for another generation, 1t
will double again. AS gold has long
been the worldwide standard Of value.

"An amateur magician in Beacon

Then, setting down her tray of ices,
she hid her rosy face in her hands
and ran out of the room.

Yet, little by little, my mind began
til apprehend the truth, my reason to
gasp the details. Mist or reality,
there directly before us floated what
appeared to be the outlines of ship
Battered, wrecked, odd in form-yct
ship, moving upright upon the surface
Of the water. Good God! what a mad
dream of the past was represented yon-
< der! Those round, blunt bows, the broken
bowsprit, heavy as a mast, forking
straight upward; the great carven,
shapeless figurehead beneath; the
wide, elevated forecastle deck; the
seemingly tremendous thickness of the
bulwarks; the strange slope of deck
and rail amidships; the immense rem
nant of foremost towering in splint-
ers; the broad, square stern, even
overlapping the height of the peaked
forecastle That was a grim thing to
meet with in those waters.
"Stand by, meni" called, the trem-
bic still in my command. IF the thing
yonder be wood and iron wen board

Not a voice responded, their bodies
tense and motionless, every eye still
on that dim, phantom CLEAN. With
clenched teeth pressed the tiller
hard down, and the bows of the long
boat headed straight in. Suddenly De
Nova leaped to his feet.

fear sounding shrilly.
I In the intense silence could plain

recklessly, forgetting the slipperiness
of deck underfoot. 1T was re treas

pesos! Sacre dam!
1t does not appear possible that l
perceived it all, but now, looking back,
can recall the attitude of every man
as this revelation of the vessels iden-
tity was swiftly borne in upon his con-
seriousness. Sanchez sank affrighted-
ly to his knees, lingering the beads
of a rosary, his lips muttering mar
ticulate fragments of prayer; Dade
stared, white-faced and trembling, his
mouth wide open; Kelly jerked his
cap from off his red hair and swung
1t over his head with a wild yell;
Johnson never stirred, a motionless
statue, his lips compressed; the negro
joined De Nova, his eyes rolling, his
great feet pounding the snow; while
Mcknight grabbed the ak from KEEL

ing at the door. AS for myself, at
the instant everything was chaos. Tut
tie was right then; he had seen all
that he said; our voyage had not been
causeless, a search after a will-o'-the-
wisp; the sacrifices, suffering, loss of
these past months, were not all in
vain. Out of Antarctic solitudes, re-
leased from the merciless grip Of the
ice by some marvel Of deliverance,
this treasure galleon of Old Spain,
this ancient tomb of dead sailors, had
come drifting down to us, veritable
gift of God The knowledge stunned
me; dazed my perceptions, 1t seemed

must be two of them-and cut the ice
away from the shutters"
AS they labored feverishly, their
breath steaming in the frosty air, the
moonlight silvering them and CLEAN
ing weirdly on the scattered ice-frag-
ments, the haunting mystery of that
Theoretically sealed cabin brought to
me a feeling of unutterable horror.
Heayenl how long had it been thus
frozen in? What awful tragedy of an
other century was about to be re-
vealed? What years of loneliness, OF
darkness, of polar night and cold had
this derelict of the grim Antarctic ex
perienced? Where had 1t been? What
of those who had sailed on board out
Of Guayaquil that fair June day OF
1853, dreaming of the glad welcome
awaiting them in sunny Spain? What
OF the crew, hardy seamen all, black
bearded, the gold loops In their ears
What of the passengers? What of the
five women who had walked these
decks? Where had they died, and
how?

Coleridue's Stick,

Of walking sticks there is no end.
We have heard of Mr.. Haldane's
cordite one, and now we read of a stick
in the Guest collection at Christie's
which belonged TO the very last Bond
street Waterman. For interesting
sticks, however. the one which Cole
ridge was in the habit of losing during
his tramping days must take first
place. The philosopher was never
happy till he had got it back. He sent
the crier round. Here is the cry, as
noted by Mr.. Lucas in one Of his es-
says: Missing, a curious walking
stick. On one side 1t displays the
head of an eagle, the eyes of which
represent rising suns, and the ears
Turkish crescents; on the other side
is the portrait of the owner in wood
work. Around the neck is Queen
Elizabeth's ruff in tin. All down it
waves the line of beauty in very ugly
carving"
And then came the appeal and warn
ing note: "If any gentleman Tor LADY,
has fallen in love with the above de-
scribed stick and secretly carried off
the same he Cor she) Is hereby ear
nestly admonished to conquer a pas
