A COSTLY WEEKEND

T ORD GEORGE aEKMAlN, British
IL secretary OF state for the aheif
eap colonies during the Waf OF tue
i,avolutlon. WAS ready TO leave Lon
don for a pheasant week end at Stone
land In Sussex. The duties oil his once
had tired him and he looked for"aru ~
the quiet OF the English countryside
On his way from his chambers lie
stopped ut his office to sign some our
cjal papers. One OF them directed "
Lord William Howe. British comhai
der IN New York city. ordered MIN 10
co.onrrate With ten. john Burgoyne
by moving north up the TUCSON 70
ioln forces with Bnrgoyn- VINO "ou'o
start south from canafa between
them they would smash the rebel army.
pnt tho letter To Howe hadn't been
.faIr cepied" and wasn't reatiy TOT Tue
signature Of the secretary OF sla.e'
.sol" exclaimed my Lord German.
INV poor horses must wau and must
,ase time because OF this : linen
clerk named DOyly said thu he Woulo
make the flair copy and would write
from himself to Howe, enclosing tht
| Instructions to General BuTeeyne Wnicl
| would tell him all that he Wouio Meet
with this and made ready to keep Ill
time. for lie could never bear delay o.
disappointment"
So the poor horses Of Lord yer
main weren't kept standing tn TIL
street and he was able to hasten 70 III
country estate for pleasant weekend
Hut the five or ten uinutes that ne oil
moi want to walt were costly ones 10
England.
D'Oyly forgot to write the letter
Howe and when hts Lordship returne
70 his office from HIS week end IN ou'
sex. he also forgot to asK ABOUT u
matter. Howe stayed In New fork u
stead OF marching north along the nut
.on. The result was that the unlhck
gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne o'u'
dered south through the wilderness

those with the biggest chests. Stats
tics were called In to show that more
successful persons, as rule, nave
more generous height and girth meas

hardened sourdoughs are planning

Court area for the legendary gold
cache, Of Old Moostas, seventy-nine-
year-old Indian. around WHOSE
rnar,ed figure a legend OF fabulous
riches and superstition WAS Weaven
by prospectors several years ago. AZ
that fine he saved a tribe OF Indians
from starvation by bringing back
.hag OF gold from the secret cnche
In the hills.
sfoostas believed that the gold was
mt in the cache by the Great
| snirlta for use only In time OF DIRE
need and died without revealing
/ where II was. and refusing to tell
how he found It.
The cache Is believed to lie among
the hills In the White Court district
IT is described AS "prospector
dream--a cave lined with pure gold
| The legend Is that although MODS
tas knew Of the existence OF the
cache for years, he visited 1t only
once. Several years ago, when al
Indian tribe in White Court disfric
faced starvation, Old Moostas hitcheef
M two ponies and went Into tn
hills.
Two days later. he walked Into
trading post at White Court, dumped
q s.poke" Of gold nuggets on IN
counter and bought out the store
He distributed the food and othe
goods among the starving Indians
and then retired to lazy existenc
on the Indian settlement
Then started n long battle OF wit
between prospectors and the old II
J dian. For years white men tried
, wrest the secret from him. The
, piled him with questions and mad
, many entlclng offers, but the old Il
, dian rehuffed them with stolcal $
lence. For months his every NOV

l watched. but Moostas never vislte
