FOUND GOLD LONG HIDDEN
Ancient Prophecy Fulfilled But Puzzle
Concerning the Earliest Celtic
People Remains.

The quantity of pure gold ornaments
found In Ireland and in the Celtic
parts of Scotland Is one Of the puzzles
of the civilization of the ancient Celtic
peoples, says the duke OF Argyll
Where did they obtain enough gold to
make the twisted wire, the bracelets
with the open space between the
spoonlike ends? Did they obtain the
metal by barter with strangers, and, II
so, what could they give In exchange
for so much bullion?
In Sutherland, of late years, gold In
tiny scales has been found in the
sands. 1t Is strange that the objects
In gold are usually large. Few small
ornaments in this most precious metal
have been recovered. I knew of one
hoard recovered, and, although the
legend that 1t existed had currency
among the people for some time, it had
never been searched for, and was OBJ
tanned by accident A. great boulder
stone lay on grass-grown ground at the
bottom Of valley.
It had probably been dislodged by
some volcanic upheaval from cliff
which overlooked this valley. There 1t

DEMAND IS FOR ABLE MAN
Nigh Positions Waiting for Those
Who Are Competent Properly
to FIJI Them.

We know a big firm in one Of the
oldest and most important industries
I'm this country which has been hunt
ing for over a year for man to
whom to pay $4,000, and they cannot
find him, writes the editor of the
American Machinist.
We know an executive who wants
two or three men as assistants; If he
could find them In his plant he would
gladly pay them $40 week. He has
tried a considerable number in these
positions during the past year. but
without success as yet. He feels that
he is positively hampered by the lack
of them.
We know that there Is an active de-
mand for $4,000 men, and we can
readily believe that there is a keen
demand for $4,000 men.
1t is remarkable that in plant en-
ploy1ng, say thousand men, there are
so few who raise themselves above
their fellows far enough to be con-
spicuous to the management. And
even, of those few, not all have the
initiative, the ginger, and faculty of
being thorough that would make them
of value as assistants to the execu-
tive. What a god-send to the engineer
is the draughtsman who can do his
own thinking, and dig out the solution
of a problem somehow without con.
slant prodding and pointing from the
boss!

stood ION end" and there was a tale
connected with it, but the story was
treated as an old wife's "havers," and
no man had dug to find out the truth.
Agriculture, however, began to be
Systematically pursued, and all land at
low level was required. Superstition
among the crofters made them avow
that the concealed gold would never
be found until the son of a stranger
came. Powder was utilized to blast
away the big boulder-stone. Flowing
had already been undertaken around
it.
The plowman waited at some dis
lance with his team until the blast had
taken effect When the pieces of rock
were removed the plow was drawn
over the site. 1t was recently-em-
ployed English boy who guided the
plow. Three solid gold bracelets were
found on the spot where the boulder
had once been. Thus an English boy
fulfilled the prophecy of the story OF

Such nice young man! For him to
dissipate his life away by staying up
at night, that way
He promised to be here at ten-ff-
teen," she ventured.
Yes; that's what brought me over.
He asked me to tell you that he'd be a
little late I guess he didn't sleep very
well. He says he had lot of horrible
dreams. What sort of talk did you
have with him last night, anyhow?
Didn't he tell your"
mo; he left the house soon after
you did. You must have said some
thing that upset him. He acted dread
fully worried"
Josie bent above her work. She
could not tell even the Judge of the
intensity Of feeling which she had put
into that long conversation with Broad
way.
She had not slept so very we'll her
self. She had wondered If he thought
her bold, oficious, to have given him
advice so freely, to have told him what
she had about what she believed to
be his duty. She knew that, now and
then, she had been almost irpassioned
in her plea for Jonesville and its
people. She wondered If he thought
her silly, over-earnest. But she told
the Judge none of these things. They
were hidden in her heart. That heart
had known a lot of turmoil since
Broadway had come back.
II simply told him the true state of
affairs and explained to him what the
plant meant to the town." she said
and bent above her papers on the
desk.
What did he say?" asked the persis-
tent Judge.
Much as she loved the judge, she
wished that he would go away and
question her no further. There was a
little feeling in her heart that she must
file that talk with Broadway among
the things which she held sacred. All
women have a secret file of memories
of that sort She could not talk about
it.
He said nothing very much,''
Then a detail Of his talk which had
intensely puzzled her came back to
her. and she decided to discuss it with
the Judge.
HE kept inquiring how much cash
we had" She smiled, not critically.
HE doesn't seem to be much of a
business man."
HE struck me that way, too" the
Judge said gravely. did he say the
trust made him an offer?"
She sighed. Eyes" All, If she had
failed to move him! He might al
ready have accepted 1t, and then what
would, be the fate Of Jonesville! This
| thought made her very nervous.
The Judge nodded wisely. That's
what thought"
She sighed again. There was long
silence, full of troubled thoughts.

NoVelist's Romance.

Mr.. S. r. Crockett, the Scottish nov
elist, whose death is announced, was
fond of relating among his intimates
how he met his best of wives. 1t was
his day of early struggle. He had

with the review, which was unsigned,
Mr.. Miner communicated with the
writer of 1t and invited him eventual
ly to visit his home in Manchester.
In time the invitation was accepted.

that at two O'Clock of the same afternoon little

Roger d. Normany, prominent yet
respected citizen of the city of Pitts
burgh was so much in love with young
Dana Prnchett and SO completely
- - enchanted and subjugated by the
multifarious virtues and alurements
with which she had endowed him, that the novels
of George Barr McCutcheon left her wholly un-
moved. And Princhett in turn, was so much in
love with young Helen Normany and SO completely
enchanted and subjugated by the multifarious
virtues and allurements with which he had endowed
her, that the novels of George Barr McCutcheon
moved him profoundly. All of which would have
little in particular to do with our story were it not
for the circumstance that Helen Normany's mother
had had the gross misfortune to be born in Oil City,
Pa, while Dana Princhett's mother had enjoyed the
vastly superior advantage of having first been
privileged to see as much as visible of the light
of day in Pittsburgh
Under the majority of conditions, even in re-
public, this would not have made great deal of
difference: but it happened that Mrs James
errod Princhett what is referred to by persons
not in society as "socety leader" and spaciously
impressed with her own Importance as such was
inclined to view her sons intimacy with the offspring
of such lowly stock as the Oil City Normanys as
beneath the dignity and position Of the Pittsburgh
James Jerrold PrnChetts, to say the least. Which,
incidentally was not all Mrs Princhett said when
Dana confessed to her that he awfully in
