GOLD ONLY IN BOYS MIND
Scottish Villagers the Victims Of Hoax
Which They Are Only Too
Willing TO Forget.

The treasure hunt of the villagers of
Darvel, Ayrshire, Scotland, was
prompted by boys hoax. Some days
ago piece of paper was found con
tanning a message In faded writing 10
the effect that many years ago the
writer had buried q vast hoard of gold
In the vicinity Of the town. The ex-
act spot would be found indicated on
a chart which, 1t was stated was con
cealed in q Granny Of an old bridge.
After a minute search some young
men came across the chart, and soon
an immense crowd Of men and women,
armed with picks and shoves and 9th
er implements. were feverishly digging
In an old quarry near the town, this
being the spot indicated on the chart.
The work continued whole day, but
late In the evening, Just when every
one was on the tiptoe of excitement,
they received a great shock. A mes
sage was received that the story Of the
hidden treasure had originated with
a boy who prepared the papers,
Drowned them before Il fire to make
them look old. and then hid them. He
was we'll satisfied with his Joke.
