DIGGERS TURN UP TREASURE
Sewer Workers Find Collection of Rings and Watches in Bos-
 ton Slime Pit

Boston.-A sewer gang quit work at noon the other day with valuable treasure trove. In the slime of an old pit near the Quincy house they had found three gold rings, coins, watches and other valuables.
 Hotel employees suggested that the hotel had claim on the articles, as the property probably of guests of by- gone days. The police suspected that they were part of the loot of thieves. But when the men showed coins dat ing back to 1787, stamped with pine tree on one side and Massachusetts" an the other, they insisted that the statute of limitations made the prop erty theirs.
 With the ancient coins they found beer checks, which the foreman of the gang said he intended to keep with a 'pine tree shilling" as a souvenir of the past. The foreman estimated that the deposit of mud in which the valuables were found had not been dis turbed in 75 years.

CHAPTER XV.
The Some of a Thrush.

Twentieth of June, and the world at high tide; the woods full of cradles, and each cradle housing lusty baby ;; the weak gone back to earth, the fit and claw. Streams and woodland pools grow languid with millions mat ing. Each leaf has reached it's maxi mum of lung expansion. The trees breathe deep. The forest has settled down seriously to the business of full filling it's promises Cocoon and chrys- alis have opened and flung forth their glittering mysteries. Furnished bodies and gauzy wings glance and glitter through yellow sunshine and soft shade, like flakes of star dust sitting down out of the sky.
 But if the woods have many cradles. they also have many graves. There was a new one this placid June evening at Fallen Rock-a new one beside the one that was almost new. There were orchids upon them both. A man and a maid had together hunted the woods for them. Only such as they could have found so many. Only to her fav- orites does nature show the way to her treasures.
 The staneh old Boss and hard-face6 Bull Mastersen were back at their vats and clam rakes. Billy's grand mother was staying at the cabin of

Man to Man and an Even Draw.
 The candle fingered long that night in the cabin of the three gables. The old man was more than usually rest less. The girl lowered about his chair constantly. She succeeded at last In coaxing him down in his chair, where he sat grooming; mumbling in his beard; and whetting the knife on the palm of his hand. She had smoothed the cushions behind his head and stood stroking his face with her hand, when, without the least warning, the door flew open, and, sharply outlined against the dark background of the night, a man with a red mask over his face staIked across the threshold.

From out of all its many ter TOTS the night could not have selected a more appalling one to fling into the cabin.
 The girl screamed and clupg about the old man in the chair. Her scream seemed to rouse him. He glanced up, rubbed his wide, pitiful eyes, and. with wild cry-more that of beast than man-sprang from the chair with a strength that sent the girl reeling. His sleeping senses seemed to wake, to recognize the object for which his ghostly eyes had searched the woods for weary years-a bit of red cloth with a certain face behind it. His giant frame seemed to swell with strength tremendous. He raised the knife and leaped toward the intruder.
 A giants strength, but with the dis ordered unwieldiness of a stricken mind. The knife barely gra2ed where it was meant to kill. Before the gray

The old man was staring at them both, from one to the other, as if unable to grasp revelation that had been twen- ty years coming. He stretched up his hands at last to the young man, pulled his face down to him, gazed on 1t as at something of which he had long dreamed but never hoped to see !; turned back to the man on the floor.
 Martin Redmond, I'll requite the deed you've done, the one good deed of your evil life. The little girl I've raised as my own, the child of the good woman you cruelty killed, the child you deserted, your daughter stands before you"
 The girl recoiled in horror. The un- natural father strained his glazing eyes toward the daughter his thought had outraged a cry muttered up out of his chest and brought with t a gush

INCREASE OF ALIENS
Net Growth in Immigrant Popu-

Total of 6ss,371 Sought Entrance to United States in Last Fiscal
 Year.

Establishment of ma chinery overseas in cooperation with foreign governments through which aliens before breaking up their homes may determine whether they will be admitted to the United States and leg fsiative consideration of the proposals of the second industrial conference are outstanding recommendations in the annual report of Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 The report shows that 633,371 aliens arrived in this country during the last nscal year, as compared with 237,021 the year before. Of the total arrivals, 11,795 were excluded at the ports where they sought to enter. Of those arriving 430,001 are classed as immi- grant aliens and 195,575 as nonimmi- grant aliens. Departures of aliens to- taled 428,O62, including 288,315 immi- grant aliens and 139,747 nonimmigrant aliens, making the net increase In the immigrant population for the year 1p3,514.
 Japanese admitted number 16,174, as compared with 14,904 the year before. The total number of Japanese depart ing is placed at 15,653, making, the re. port says, the indicated increase in Japanese population, 521. Of those ad- mitted, 9,193 were males and 6,981 fe- males.
 Besides the immigrants turned back at the port of arrival, 2,762 were ordered deported during the year on departmental warrants, as compared with 3,068 the year before. Of those deported, 469 were classed as anar- chists and criminals. In addition, 591 others are awaiting deportation.
 During the year 519,003 aliens took the initial or final steps toward citi- zenship.

Fifty Million Bushels Less Wheat
 Has Passed Through Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-The strike ot the farmers against marketing their wheat, which was inaugurated at the start of the break in prices has had some effect, is the view of financiers and grain dealers.
 The real magnitude of the strike is brought home to grain dealers by the announcement of the Chicago Board of Trade statisticians, who state that 50,000,000 bushels less wheat have passed through Chicago compared to the year previous.
 In 1919, 79,997,0O0 bushels of wheat moved through this market.

able-the momentary return to con sciousness was but the gleam that, at the end of gray day, sometimes flares out between sundown and dark. He said nothing of it to the girl, who was happily busy again with the water and bandages.
 The sheriff had left the couch and was squatted over the body Of the fallen bandit. The Pearlhunter hap pened to glance that way. The sherif beckoned to him.
 "This feller ain't dead yet" he said, when the Pearlhunter had joined him. The young man stopped over the sprawled robber. He was still breath ing.
 "He don't deserve It," the sheriff went on, but it's only common de cency to get him up.''
 He put his arm under the man and raised him, while the Pearlhunter brought a damp cloth from the basin by the couch, and wiped his face. The touch of the cold cloth rallied him.
 "Wateri he mumbled, husky and strained.
 The girl had turned and was looking on. She ran to the kitchen and brought cupful. The Pearlhunter held 1t to the mans lips. He couldn't swallow, but the touch of the water seemed to revive him. He opened his eyes and stared, like a man trying to make out objects in a very dim light. His eyes caught the glitter of the sheriff's star, drowned, raised, found the Pearlhunter and strained hard at him.
 And it was a cussed Warbritton that got me at lastn'
 "Who speaks the name of Warbrit- ton?" came a hoarse voice from the couch.
 The dying bandit started, rolled his eyes toward the sound.
 What was that! That voice! !"
 The Pearlhunter caught the foot of the couch and moved it around so the two fast sinking men could see each other. No sooner had the gray giant on the couch caught a glimpse of the man on the floor than, with a great cry, he tried to rise. His utmost strength only served to bring him part ly up on an elboW.-and that only with the Pearlhunter's aid.
 Martin Redmond!" he cried-and almonst instantly: "Where is she? The woman you distained? And the boy? Tell me! I've still the strength to tear it out of your cursed throat p
 The dying robber fixed his falling eyes on the couch. Only God knows who giveth his grace to the just and to the unjust-how he found strength for further words.
 "Warbritton-r' He muttered the name huskily, the bloody froth upon his lips. "She was not distained. It was all mistake. I let you think it her-because she loved you and not me. Twenty years she's roved these rivers, pure as the dew at dawn. She sleeps tonight in a grave four days old at Fallen Rock"
 He picked up his hand from where 1t sagged down upon the floor, carried 1t at great labor to his bosom, fumbled under the fancy vest, drew forth a picture and laid it against his lips. The Pearlhunter snatched it away. The action brought the picture near the old man. He seized it, held it an instant before his eyes, and with deep groan laid 1t against his bosom
 And the boy?" he cried to the man on the floor. "The boy?"
 The Red Mask was going fast, but he raised his face and muttered hoarsely: {:
