SHE WAS LOYAL.
Likewise Honest Enough to Tell Lin.
coin the Truth.

During the war between the states
Miss n, a high spirited Virginia young
lady, whose father. Confederate SOL
dier, had been taken prisoner by the
Union forces was desirous of obtain
ing a pass which would enable her to
visit him. Francis P. Blair agreed to
obtain an audience with the president.
but warned his young and rather i'm
pulsive friend to be prudent and not
betray her sympathy for the south.
They were ushered into the presence
Of Mr.. Lincoln, and the object for
which they had come was stated. The
tall, grave man bent down to the little
maiden and. looking searchingly into
her face, said:
You are loyal, Of course?"
Her bright eyes flashed. She hesi-
tated a moment, and then, with face
eloquent with emotion and honest as
his own, she replied:
Yes. loyal to the hearts core-to
Virginia."
Mr.. Lincoln kept his intent gaze
upon her for a moment longer and
then went to his desk, wrote line or
two and handed her the paper. With
a bow the interview terminated. When
they had left the room Mr.. Blair be-
gan to upraid his young friend for
her impetuosity.
Now you have done it," he said.
Didn't warn you to be very care
full? You have only yourself to blame.
Miss y. made no reply, but opened
the paper. 1t contained these words:
Pass Miss y. She is an honest girl
and can be trusted.

Broke the War Rseord.-Ther

Broke the War Reeord.-There Is
in existnce a very modest man who
though now peacefully employed, has
in his day seen fighting in many parts
of the globe. His friends know this
and lose no opportunity to draw hin
out anent his thrilling war adventures
But the veterans modesty is such
that his tales are more than likely
to be colorless and disappointing.
Once some of his friends interested
him and by artful subterfuge led the
conversation straight up to a certain
battle, in which. as they knew, the
veteran had participated. In a mo-
ment Of carelessness he allowed him
self to be trapped into statements re-
garding the battle. Whereupon, not
ing that he had warmed to the sub
1ect one OF his friends suddenly said:
You were in that battle weren't
you?"

embarrassed.

CALIFORNIA TREASURE STORY.
Bullet Made Old Soldier Forget Where
He Buried His Gold.

The story of a wound received In
the civil war which sealed the hid
ing place of fortune for more than
half a century and of a strange trick
of fate which cleared the hider's
memory in the evening of life was
brought to Los Angeles by the hid
er's son, ]. K. Anderson of New Or
leans, who Is at the Van Nuys en-
route to the old placer fields of Call
fornia-
Anderson's father joined in the gold
rush, and was one Of the miners Of
the 49 days. He located a claim In
Placer county, near Auburn and
Newcastle. Within a year he had
snatched from the river bottoms
fortune. Then the call of the south
for volunteers reached him. He bur-
led the gold beneath the adobe blocks
of a tavern in the vicinity OF his
claim, strapped all the precious sub
stance he could carry about his body
and hurried to join the Confederate
army.
Anderson says that his father was
struck in an engagement with the
Union troops by a bullet which tore
open his scalp and robbed him Of his
memory for fifty years. During that
time, the son says, the parent was
like a child, with all knowledge OF
the hiding place of the gold gone
Before he died, year ago, his mem
ory Of the gold rush returned to him
and he was living again in the past
that preceded his part in the con-
| fict.
1t was during these last moments
that the old man told his son and the
mother where he had buried what he
claimed was a fortune. The son Is
hurrying to unearth, if possible, the
hidden treasure. Anderson said:
my father said he buried the gold
under a corner Of an old adobe tav-
ern patronized by the miners in the
early days. This tavern was in Lons
Valley at a point half way, l have
learned, between the present towns
of Newcastle and Auburn. l have
learned through correspondence that
family by the name of Scott occu-
pies the tavern as a farmhouse and
that the country around it is devoted
to the raising Of citrus fruits.
No one has disturbed the Original
lines of the building. The adobe
blocks are heavy. 1 have obtained
permission from the owners to pros
ecute my search, and will give then
a share of my findings. Otherwise
would have to buy the property"

Not Much OF a Lift.

Farmers, even those who are con-
sidered nigh" in other respects, are
usually quite willing to give foot pas
sengers a lift" but they like to be
asked for the favor politely. A native
OF Hillville was returning from the
county fair at Brookby with an empty
wagon, when he overlook a smartly
dressed young man who was plodding
2long with the disgusted air of one
unused to country roads and sandy
soil.

passenger, turning round as he heard
the rattle OF wagon wheels and stand
ing still until the farmer drove up.
Can a fellow get lift to Soon

he vaulted into the wagon. II might

man a little sharply. but said nothing

After two or three miles had been
traversed the young man paused for
a moment in his inconsequent chatter
and remarked:
"Its more of distance to 'Sconset
than I supposed"
"It Is quite a distance" responded
the farmer in a noncommittal tone.
Another twenty minutes passed and
then the young man inquired:
about how far IS 1t to 'Sconset?"
