Improvement of the methods of
gathering and storing and in the time
of marketing corn, where there is a
surplus, has been one of the problems
handled lately by a county agent in
Alabama. He reports that in 1920
three men in community near CAN'T

he was anxious to make. Each had
about 200 bushels Of corn for sale

We all know his drawings, and love
them; they have a peculiar character
which no other architectural drawings
ever possessed, and which no others
ever can possess, because all Prout's
subjects are being knocked down, or
restored (Prout did not like restored
buildings any more than do). There
will never be any more Prout draw
ings. Nor could he have been what
he was, or expressed with that mys-
teriously effective touch that peculiar
delight in broken and old buildings,
unless he had been withdrawn from
all high art influence.-John Ruskin.

and sacked his corn at spare times
during the fall. He had learned from
the county agent how to kill the
weevils. The only expense he went
to, although his corn brought so much
better price, was for sacks and the
weevil exterminatOr. He said the
shuCks were worth all that for rough
age for his cows. This gave him 500
more for 200 bushels Of corn than
his neighbor who sold the same day.

Il mean just that" Lenore replied
brislsly.
Then, Miss Tibetts, may have the
honor of asking you to become my
wife?" this dapper man asked in such
matter of fact way that the aston
ished Mr.. Toll nearly collapsed.
LenOre was not In the least nom
plused.
Il will answer yes on one condi-
tion," she replied. 1.-THE condition is
that the marriage take place at once. ,"
I'm this office if you WISH" the man
agreed. my friend, Mr.. Toll, will tele-
phone for a clergyman while l am
out arranging for a marriage license"
''It'wbll'be necessary for you to have
all particulars, my birthday, parentage,
etc." Lenore cautioned him.
"Those particulars can be obtained
from the office records" the stranger
answered coolly. Have those records
sent to me- and then my dear, if you
will take my advice, you will calm
yourself before the ceremony takes
place" D.. .~ ......
1t was just an hour later when the
strange marriage ceremony began.
Lenore had insisted that work in the
Office cease and the almost dumb
stricken president was only too willing
to accede to her wishes. SO the whole
staff of GREATNESS, hardly-able-totbe-
,T,-D = ri, III nH 1nI
into the spacious office of the presi-
dent. Like a naughty queen Lenore
faced them all and went through with
the wedding without the culver Of an
eye-lash Indeed at the end Of the
ceremony the hitherto impregnable
Miss Tibetts looked quite sweet and
girlish as she tilted her lips for the
kiss that sealed the marriage bond.
When it was over, the staff, without
being asked to do So filed out as
quietly as they could. Just one other
official remained with the president to
sign the register.
For the first time Lenore realized
fully what she had done. Yet, with
the fortitude that had made her sue
cessful in business, she resolved to
go on. The bridegroom had signed
his name to the sacred parchment,
and with shaking fingers the bride
took the pen.
Her eye glanced at the name al
ready there-she had been too haugh-
ty to hear it during the ceremony.
MARK Henderson," she read aloud
and then as she faced her husband
her eyes opened wide.
Mark !" she gasped-"the Mark Of
eighteen years ago-Oh, Mark, what
wonderful thing has happened?"
Mark Henderson was quite calm
when he spoke. You told me then,
dear, that your business career meant
more than anything else in your life"
he reminded, land you promised me,
dear, that if l waited as | said l
would-anH you ever made up your
mind there was something better for
you to do than stay at office work
that l could claim you. Today l hap
pened to be here when you made your
declaration of rebellion against office
work, and l kept you to your promise"
THAT explains it," Lenore cried
joyfully. 1.-The rebellious feeling came
over me because you were near. Oh,
Mark, dear, I've wanted so to see you"
Just then the clock struck five.

stone, with an inscription chisled in
to its surface.
The stone was taken to Truro
where people said they could read on
it:
Ten feet below s1o,OOo,ooo lies

Feverishly the men set to again, but
water coming in. it was impossible to
get down that 10 feet. In desperation
another shaft was sunk close by. At
10 feet tunnel was started towards
the old shaft, but water burst in on
them again. The whole of the money
was now spent and the company had
to abandon the quest.
Nearly so years later, DR.. Lynds
floated another company. Water soon
stopped the digging operations and a
boring plant was procured. The drill
struck wood, then metal, and after
wards brought up a few links of an
old watch chain. This drove the whole
neighborhood on to further efforts. A
third shaft was sunk, but it was also
flooded.
Then someone found what looked

pirates have built it so as to flood the
shaft and stop others from retrieving
the treasure, should any chance upon

A dam was built around the rocks,
but the tide broke it in. A pump was
installed, but it could not keep pace
with the thrush of water. Soon all the
money the company had collected was
spent. and the quest had to be aban-
doned.
In 1896 another treasure hunting
company was formed, people in Truro
and Halifax subscribing generously.
All possible modern machinery was
brought to this attempt. No less than
90 shafts were sunk, but they all filled
with water. Drilling was resorted to

The passion for riches has stirred
not only the people Of modern times.
Stories of quests for gold have come
down to us in song and fable - in
many cases clearly, that men still con-
tinue the self-same search of their
early ancestors.
Every district of Europe has its ira
ditions of hidden treasure, And though
dating back over a thousand years,
some from time to time are verified.
Thus the people of Ribchester, Eng
land, had a rhyme that was nearly
1000 years old:
1T is written upon wall in Rome
Ribchester is as rich as any town in
Christendome"
Men searched for buried treasure in
the vicinity. for centuries. And sure
enough. not long ago, hoard of 1000
silver coins and 1000 oxs of silver was
discovered by accident.
Again, a superstition of Mold, Wales,
had it that spectre clad in gold,
walked of night near place called the
Fairy Mound. In 1898, on digging
there, a skeleton was found lying un-
der a huge shield of gold.
But most of these traditions have
yet to be proved. More money has
been spent in the search for hidden
treasure than has been got out of it.
True as the story is, for all the quest
ing since. none has yet come across
that wealth-the whole treasury of
England lost by King John in the

The New World has also it's treas

romance, most of them built around
the old pirates. The most common
figure in them is Captain Kidd. One
legend is that he was chased by a man
of-war up the Hudson River, where he
set fire to his ship and buried his
treasure ashore. And it is safe to
say that more has been spent in the
quest of that mythical wealth than
even traditions has made it worth.
