PEERLESS PEDESTRIAN
HANGS UP HIS SHOES

George Goulding Of Canada, great
est walker In the world, has hung
up his shoes, determined never again
to participate In any competition.
His greatest success was attained In
the recent 0Iympiad at Stockholm,
Sweden, when he outclassed the heel
and toe experts of all countries,
winning with ridiculous ease the
highest honors.
81. Norman Of Africa, Of whom
much has heen heard as a walker.
who had been expected to give the
Canadian wonder a battle for SUI
premacy, proved disappointment.
for he showed that he did not know
the art of walking In the 10000
meters walk, being disqualified when
he started to heel.
Attaining the pinnacle of success,
it was Goulding's wish to retire. but
his friends insisted that he should
stay in the game, considering the fact
that he had beaten the best heel and
toe experts in the world. He was
induced to enter in the mile walk in
the Canadian track and field cham
plonships, but was keenly disappoint-
ed when he found that Of the three
athletes who werel expected to OPP
pose him not one appeared at the
mark at the time the race was sched-
ufed to start That afternoon Gould
ing told his friends that he would
never walk another race. It Is evil
dent that there is no athlete in the
world at the present time who is able
to win. and this fact places him In
class by himself.

Jewels In a EIoMer.Red.

The recovery of a quantity of stolen
jewelry from a fower-bed was de-
scribed at Kingston-on-Thames police
court the other day, when a general
servant was charged with theft from
her mistress, resident Of Ivydeane,
scarborough ?road, Surbiton. London.
The lady had missed a pearl pin and
a pearl and diamond ring. Thinking
she might have lost the jewels in the
street, she issued printed notices Of
fering a reward for their recovery.
When she lost a number of other
things she placed the matter in the
hands of the police. The detective
said that from what the prisoner told
him he searched the garden, and in
one of the f1ower-beds found some of
the jewelry. The rest he found in
the prisoners bedroom.

Women After Pirate Horde
Will Sail to Dig Up Millions They Say Are Await.
Ing Them.

A remarkable expedition is to leave England
this month in quest Of hidden treasure on an is
land in the south Pacific. says the New York
Herald.
short time ago letter appeared in the
Yachtsman written by two "Englishmen" asking
for the loan of a yacht for the expedition, and
now 1t appears that the "Engshmen" are two
women well known in the upper ranks OF society,
but who are keeping their names secret until
they get away.
At any rate 1t is asserted that well known
yachtsman, feeling assured that their quest is no
wild goose chase, is not only lending his yacht,
but has agreed to accompany them on their ex-
pediton, from which they expect to return in six
months
The women state that the booty is worth mil
lions sterling and was buried by pirates who made
the island their headquarters and records Of this
treasure are filed in the British museum. They
say they have satisfied themselves by q visit to
the island that the treasure buried there never
has been disturbed
I'VE went out from England" they say, "at our
own expense, and carried out the Investigations
for our own satisfaction For years we have been
possessed Of papers SO convincing, seemingly, to
us, that we were on tenderhooks OF suspense as
to whether the information they contained regard
ing the treasure was authentic Now we have
been and SEEN There is no longer doubt We
know.
representative of the government to whom the
island belongs accompanied We had to con-
duct our investigation with secrecy in order that
the exact location of the treasure should not be
divulged before prying eyes.
But the directions were SO plain in our papers
that long ere the return to the vessel which by
arrangement, was to call and take US back to
civilization, we had convinced ourselves that the
treasure was in actual being"
Returning to the mainland, the president OF the
country which owns the island granted conces-
sion to remove any treasure found, the only con-
dition being that the government should claim
onethird Of 1t.
This agreement. duly witnessed by the British
representative in the country in question ana
other documents relating to the treasure, have
been examined by the editor Of the Yachtsman,
who is so certain of success that he may join the
expedition himself, but Of the location OF the
mysterious island and the identity Of the women
who hold the secret he Is silent.
It was because they had spent so much on the
first visit to the island that they were unable to
charter another vessel themselves, and sought
the aid Of the Yachtsman.
