Hush, little sister, Tom drew her
close. with big brotherly sympathy.
1T hasn't quite come to that yet. and
you mustn't think Of leaving home.
You are not strong enough for such
work"
Drying her eyes as best she could
she began looking around for the
squash. She found it at last-it had
only rolled into one of the holes that
she had dug near the wall. Tom held
the lantern near and she pulled it out
Of the hole. in doing which she dislodg-
ed the earth from the wall above and
down came rain of damp dirt. With
it came small glass jar which had
evidently been imbedded in the wall.
With wild cry Kathryn seized it
and held it up to the light Of the Ian

Money! she gasped. Gold pieces
and greenbacks. Grandfather's for

A moment later she poured the money
into her astonished mothers lap and
was counting it over. trembling with
Joy and excitement
"One. two. three. four. five, six, sew

lier in the evening. only this time there
was no frown on her face Seven

And then she collapsed for want of
breath and hid her face on Toms
shoulder and burst into tears. But a
moment later she looked up to smile
triumphantly through her tears and
say:

a magnificent disregard Of the fact
that Tom was three years her senior.
Tom obediently procured the lantern
from the woodshed. and together they
explored the cellar. She had spent
lot of time there when she had first
returned from boarding school digging
about with the vain hope of locating
grandfather Kane's money. He had
come to make his home with them a
few weeks previous to his death from
old age only the year before. and once
they had caught him playing with a
handful of gold pieces as child would
amuse itself with lot Of pebbles. He
had quickly hidden them from sight,
however, with his nervous, childish
laugh, and though he sometimes bab-
bled of his treasure" and his for
tune" no one ever saw them again.
Once Kathryn had surprised him
coming out of the cellar with shovel
in his hand. the damp earth still cling
ing to it. and he had slipped away
guiltily. After his death she remem-
bered the incident and surmised that
he had buried his money in there for
safe keeping. It could not be much.
of course. not more than 500 or so,
but that would be a fortune to them

stances. and she felt it no wrong to
the dead man, who had been but little
more than a child. to unearth the mon
ey and put it to good use, for it did no
one any good in it's hiding place.
But months of vain searching had
dispelled the hope of ever finding it,
If it had been concealed there, and
now she gazed little disdainfully at
the deep holes and heaps Of dirt which
marked her former efforts. Suddenly
she underwent a revulsion Of feeling.
