FOR OUR BOOK OF FABLES

Buried treasure" Again the New
World, young in years but old in legend,
hears that magic phrase. And. as USUAL,
the imagination springs to the call. Even
though reason and staid report discount
the story, the present generation, and
doubtless generations to come, will feast
upon whatever Pigment of fact there
may be in the story that Francisco Villa.
now passed to the reward of his kind,
left millions in gold and silver in troves
to which he alone held the mental key.
Juan Terrazas, member of family
that suffered much and often at the
hands of "Pancho," has undertaken to
rub away the glamour by saying that
the loot of the late bandit chieftain has
been greatly exaggerated. No doubt it
hes; it would be singular if it hadn't.
Man is a romance-loving creature-man
in the civilized state as we'll as in the
barbaric. There is perhaps less reason
for believing the buried-treasure stories
in the case of Villa than in the case of
various other characters whose footing
activities form no small part of the his
tory of this part of the world.
Yet in the case of Villa what might
be called the active elements of such
stories are present in great numbers, and
seem to constitute the very essence of
whatever it is that appeals to magma
tons which feed upon stories of adven-
ture in pursuit Of gold.
Not since the days of Jean LATTE
the pirate who preyed upon ships in the
Gull of Mexico, has there been such an
opportunity for the imagination as that
afforded by the passing of Villa. 1t has
been fairly well proved, so far as logical
argument may 60, that Lafitte could not
have amassed the huge wealth that le-
gend associates with his name-the
wealth for which adventurous spirits
have sought through the island-laby-
rinths of the gulf and in the myriad
coves of the mainland as well. Yet the
legends still endure Not only Villas
activities, but also his opportunities, per
haps far surpassed those of LATTE.
Besides, in way, Villa was the more
picturesque character of the two. An
unlettered peon, primitive in his tastes,
the Mexican bandit chieftain also had the
advantage, for legendary purposes, OF
living in a part of the world that was
already rich in fable before he appeared
upon the checker-board of adventure that
describes his career. Land of the Mayas,
the Aztecs, the Moctezumas; land of the
conquistadores; land where prehistoric
civilizations lived and died, and where,
in modern as we'll as in ancient times,
has existed the lure of wealth cached by
nature herself, the Mexico of Villas day
presented background of tradition that
could not but have prepared fanciful
minds for an exaggerated picture of the
exploits of this remarkable man.
Doubtless, too, the picture will lose
in the process of time few of the glamor-
Gus tints with which fable, outreaching
prosaic fact, has touched it. The future,
too, will love to gloat over buried treas
tire never discovered.

Meanwhile Hodges had fed the

which, by the way, is the easiest
mark on earth for the news fakir-
and the San Francisco papers the
