plus Busch, the multi-millionairt
brewer.
| Mr.. Busch had been sufferer from
dropsy for seven years, but whom his
son, August A., left here a few weeks
ago to join him at his castle on the
Rhine, he did not know that his father
was dangerously i'll.
In addition to his brewery interests
in St. Louis, Mr.. Busch also was a
director in several banks here and OF
several public utilities corporations
He also was interested in breweries in
San Antonio, Tex, Galveston and Fort
Worth, and owned ice manufacturing
plants in various parts of the country.
He was head of the foreign depart.
ment of the St. Louis Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Busch's philanthropies were
numerous, one of his most recent be.
ing a gift of'$150,0O0 to Harvard Uni
versity for the establishment of Ger
manic institute. Every year he gave
$4,000 to the Convent of the Good
Shepherd in st. Louis. His most re-
cent local benefaction was q gift of
$4,000 for the erection of memorial
to Carl Schurz, Emil Preetorious and
Carl Daenzer, the trio of German
editors who flourished in St. Louis
about the time of the Civil War.
Though his home was in st. Louis,
in recent years Mr.. Busch spent but a
small part of his time here. He
usually passed the winter at Pasadena
Cal, and his summers in Germany
stopping in st. Louis about six weeks
in the spring and fall. For years he
had been in poor health and when he
was at home here last spring he drove
over the downtown district for the
first time in four years.
Mr. Busch was IS years old. He is
survived by widow and five daugh-
tiers. The body will be brought to St.
Louis for burial -.

ROY GREGOR'S PIRAIES-Part |

~ OY GREGOR was a wee Scotch
~ laddie of ten. His light hair
IN curled above his freckled face,
tanned by the sun that shone
on the heather hills of Scotland and his
thin legs were clad in the bright kits
of the clan whose name he bore.
For Roy lived in the Highlands, or
mountains. of his native land about 200
years ago. His father was one of the
game-keepers on the great estate of the
Lord Of Argyle. The vast moors reach
ed far back to the wild hills whose tops
were ragged with heaps of stone, while
all about amid the towering peaks were
beautiful lakes, on which the boatmen
fished or sailed from one town to an
other.
Roy lived In the days when pirates
were on the seas, robbing the rich
merchant ships. Around the fire at
night he would listen to the tales of
the pirates of how they would seize a
ship. take its goods. then sail away to
some desert isle or lonely shore amid
crags. there to bury their treasures till
they wished to return home. The boy
listened. and in his lonely mountain
home would dream Of the pirates and
long to meet them face to face. Do
Now, IL happened that the Lord OF
Argyle had an enemy not many miles
away, whose name was the Earl of
Ramsay. But for many months there
had been no fighting. and the people
who lived on the estate Of the Lord
thought times would continue to be
peaceful.
One misty night when the moon was
struggling behind bank of dark clouds
Roy slipped out Of the house, which
stood just above a wide lake, and went
down among the rocks on the shore to
find a hoe he had lost. Below him was
the vast sheet Of water glimmering sill
very in the moonlight. The hoe was
quickly found, but when the lad started
to return he thought he heard the sound
Of oars and voices coming over the lake.
So he hid behind a tall granite rock
that jutted out almost to the edge of
the water Over the waves came a
small boat and presently 1t grated on
the shore right in front of the stone be-
hind which the boy had concealed him.

laborers.

bound with brass and began dragging /,
upon the beach. II seemed very heavy
for they pulled and grunted till it was
right under the big stone. Then tbs
leader took a shovel out of the boat and
began to dig.
I'VE will make the hole here" he said
as he commenced to throw up the sand
No one will ever think Of looking
under this rock or digging in this place.
They are pirates" whispered Roy
to himself. crouching more closely into
the shadow, land have come here to
bury their treasures-I am sure the box
is full Of gold and Jewels, 1t Is SC
heavy"
In half an hour the men had buried
the box in the sand and thrown over IL
a lot of weeds. The moon came out
brightly and Lit up the shore, so that
the boy could see plainly just where
the party had hidden the chest by peek
ing through crack in the stone.
The plan Is this" said the leader OF
the men. as they turned to go, "All day
tomorrow we will work as harvesters
in the Lord of Argyle's fields. but sharp
at moonrise we and ten others meet on
this spot to finish the work. No one
will suspect what We have hidden here,
and 1t Is a fine place from which to be-
gin our work.
Then the men got into the boat and
were soon out of sight in the mists
which hung over mountain and lake.
Roy crept out from behind the rock
and examined the ground and stone
well.
Il Will scratch this cross on the face
Of the granite" he said. 80 when 1
come tomorrow to dig 1 can easily find
the spot
That night he dreamed Of pirates, of
scuttling ships laden with silk and
gold, of bags of jewels and chests of
rubies. But when he woke 1t was late,
and his father told him to start at
once to search for some sheep lost In
the mountains.
All day long this work kept him wan
dering over the crags and cliffs of the
mountain, and it was supper time when
he got home. But as soon as his meal
was finished he crept to the barn, got
q spade and set out for the shore.
THE moon rises in about an hour"
he said as he hurried along over the
stony path leading down to the beach,
land I must get out the treasure be-
fore the pirates come at the rising of
the moon i can get II out and hide It
up amid the bushes till 1t is safe to
carry it home. Even If those men
come back. l can hear them and get
out of their way before they land"
In the starlight he went to work
digging up the sand. Not a sound
broke the stiffness of the night, except
the wind sweeping around the noun
tain peaks or the rush of the water
amid the reeds. So. with pale face and
trembling hands the laddie worked on
feverishly, till at last his spade struck
the lid of the chest and exposed the
brass bindings to view.
Then the boy sank upon his knees,
and with his hands brushed as fast as
his fingers would work the dirt and
sticks from Off the entire covering. At
last it lay in the hole free, the star
light shimmering on the heavy lock and
the big nails that held it together.
