i opened the tin 'io-x and took out my knife.
I had caused t'e.e thin sharp Made, found in

Still in the shadow, h i crept down by the
roek. and once more looked about him. I
gripped the knife tighter as he disappeared
beiieath tho l'lg. on wliieli 1 hung.
I't-esentiv he reappeared, with compass in
one hand and meauring-tai e in the other.
About fortv feet from the breakers now crisp
lv splashing on the sand. Dead Man's Rock
Middenlv ended on tho southern side in a thin
bliwk ridge. This ridge was, of course, cov
ered id Ijigh water and upon it the Itelle loir
tune had struck. This was the "south point"
mentioned on t)je clasp. Fixing his compass
carefully, he drew- out the tape, and slowly be
gan to measure towards the north-we.st. "End
South Point, 27 leet." I roruemliored that the
clasp said. K" measured it out to the end,
aud then, digging with his heel a mnall hole
in the sand, b.-gan to walk back towards the
roc I:, this time to the north side.
After a minute or two, however, he came in
to sight, drawing his line now straight out
l'roni the clilT, due west. He was very slow,
and overy now and then, as lie Ix-ni over his
task, would look swiftly about him with a
hunted air, mid then set to work again.
Apparently hi measurements were success
ful, for the tape led hiai once more to the hole
lie had marked in tho sand. He paused for a
moment or two. drew out the clasp, which
shot out ft midden gleam as lnj turned it in his
hand, aud consulted it carefully.
Arrived onco more at the point where the
two lines met, he threw a hasty glance around
and began to dig rapidly. He faced the sea
now, and had his back tunied to me, so that I
could straighten myself up, and watch at
greater ease. He dug rapidly, and the pit, as
his spade threw out heap after heap of soft
sand, grew quickly bigger. If treasure really
lav there, it would soon be disclosed.
For a full twenty minutes he labored, fling
ing out the sand to right and left, when his
spade grated against something. He bent low
to examine it and then began to shovel out tho
sand with inconceivable rapidity.

As he stretched out his hand over the Oreat
lluby, I caught him by the wrist. Hut he wn-
too 1'niiek for me, and" with a tdu.rp snarl an 1
dick of the teeth, had whipped his hand round
to his back.
Then in a flash, as I grappled with him, he
thrust me back with his left palm, and, with a
sweep of his right, hurled the great jewel far
out into tho sea. I saw it rise and curve in
one long, sparkling arch of llame. then fail
with a dropping lino of lire down into the bil
lows. A splash a jet of light, and it was
gone gone perhaps to bide amid the rotting
timbers of what was once tlie Belle Fortune, or
among the bones of her drowned crow to
watch with its blood-red tireless eye the ex
tremity of its handiwork. There, for aught I
know, it lies to-day, and there, for aught I i
care, beneath the waters it shall treasure its
infernal loveliness, forever.
I turned to look at Colliver. Ho was hud-1
died against the pit,s side, with his dark eyea
gazing wistfully up fit me. In their shining
depths there lurked no more sanity than it, J
tlie heart of tho Groat Ruby. As I looked, 1 j

that my revenge had slipped from me for
ever.
We were still standing so when a soft wave
came stealing up the beach and flung the lip
of its foam over the pit'a edge into the chest.
I turned round. The tide wa3 rising fast, and
in a minute or so would be upon us. Catch
ing Colliver by the shoulder, I pointed and
tried to make him understand ; but the maniac
had again fallen to playing with the jewels. I
shook him; he did not stir, only sat there
j jabbering and singing. And now wave after
j wave cuie splashing over us, soaking us
through, and hissing in phosphoresceut pools
among the gems.
I There was no time to be lost. I tore the
; madman back, stamped down tho lid, locked
! it, and took out the key ; then caught Colliver
in my arms and heaved him bodily out of tho
; trench, Jumping out beside him, 1 caught up
i thespu'.e and shovelled back the wet sand us
i bust as 1 could, until the tide drove us back.
Colliver stood quite tamely beside me all this
while and watched the treasures disappear
ing from his view ; only every now and then he
would chatter a few wild words, and with that
break oil' again in vacant wonder at my work.
When all w;ts done that eould be, I took my
I companion's hand, led him up tho sands be
! yond high-water mark, and then sat down
i beside him, waiting for the dawn,
i ".And there, next, morning, by Dead Man's
Rock they found us, while across the beach
came tho faint music of Tolkimbra bells as
i ili 'v rang their Christmas peal, " Peace on
earth and goodwill toward men.''
There is" little more to tell. Xext day, at
low ebb, my grandfather's treasure wa.-. se
cured ami earned up trotu ine sea. luinii
iron chest, beside the'goms already spoken of,
and beneath the iron tray containing them,
was a prodigious quantity of gold and silver,
partly in ingots. 'partly in coinage. So much
did it all weigh, that we found it impossible to
stir tho chest as it stood, and therefore se
cured the prize piecemeal. Strangest of all,
however, was a folded parchment which we
discovered beneath the tray of gems and
above the coins. It contained but few words
which ran as follows :
SHIS) 212,21 .-tttlC CUE 1!--IDj1!:
OT3'R e-HO'CrttD.
This, as far as I know, was my grandfather's
one and only attempt, at verse, and its appar
ent application to the wreck of the lieile For
tune is a coincidence which ptrzles me o this
dav.

On the garden seat against the sunny wall
sit two persons, a man and a woman. The
man is deere; Mr and worn, being apparently
about sixty-seven or eight years old ; but the
woman, as" the keeper will tell, is ninety. She
is his mother, and as they sit together she
feeds him with sweets and fruits as tenderly
as though he were a child, and when ho has

' THE END
A Dog Story
Milton, Ky., has one woman who has the
nerve and pluck peculiar to Kentucky, and
,! -rves to be immortalized in print. Mrs.
ii inks, a most charming young married lady,
wife of tha warehouseman ill the Kiehwood
1 Mstillory. had been very much annoyed for
.-o ne time by a neighbor's dog, which would
slip inio every no, i l.-ntal open door and carry
off provender. The other day she went from
the kitchen into an adjoining room, leaving
th-' kitchen door open, when, hearing a
racket, she returned just in time to see the
brute juinpoff the table with a piece of meat
in his mouth. Exasperated beyond endur
ance, she ran back into the next room, and,
snatching up her husband's 3s!-caliber Smith
A- Wesson, pursued the canine thief, and, just
a.-- iie leaped into 'lie neighboring yard she
took deliberate aim and lirod. The fatal bul
i"i went, through tho dog's heart, and he
dropped dead. The owner was at first in
clined to prosecute the slayer of his pet, but
(hiding he had not paid tax on the dog. and
that it consequently was not "property," he
accepted tho situation. Tho people of Milton
now refer to Mrs. Bauks with pride, as a
woman who not only does not fear the sight
of a revolver, but has the nerve and pluck to
Are it in defense of her domestic peace.
Cost of Stopping a Train
It is not generally known what loss of power
is involved in the starting and stopping of a
train of cars. There is required about twice
as much power to stop a train as to start one.
A train going sixty miles au hour can, by the
Westinghouse air-brake, be stoopped within
120 yards from the first application. Enough
power is lost to carry the train fifteen miles
over a plane surface. First there is the mo
mentum acquired by the train at this rate of
speed, the loss of steam in applying the brakes,
and the extra amount of coal "to compensate
for till these losses. By computation it has
been ascertained that every stop involves a
cost of $1 17. (Albany T'nioa.

In tho litle town of Concise, on the Lako of
Keufehatel, is a flourishing establishment for
the production of relics of tho lake-dwellers,
who, in pro-historic times, lived in huts built
on piles over the waters of tho most of tho
Swiss lakes. Near Shaffhausen is said to be
another factory, where bones are engraved
with outline representations of reindeer, bears,
foxes, and so on, and sold as genuine relies of
tho cave-dwellers, who really scratched such
linages on bones many thousand years ago,
when tho reindeer inhabited the south of
