joii\ mm TALE.
By CHARLES B. LEWIS <M. QUAD). (Copyright, Wlo, by Ctrirlcs B. Captain Abel Jones was 50 years of age ami had retired from the sea and sett ltd down on a farm in New Hampshire when something happened to upset him. One night a tramp came along and asked for lodgings. It did not take half an eye to see that ho was a sailorman. and in the course of conversation it was learned that he had not only followed the sea for many years, bu' had met with some surprising adventures on salt water. He gave his name as John Drake. 1 was Captain Jones’ nephew
stead of doing duty as a sailor, and Annt Hetty started out to boss things in a way to give offense to all. The mate, whose name was Furbish, had forgotten his instruments, and Captain Jones hed bought some old water casks, with tho result that most of their contents hr-d leaked out liefuro wo left tho wharf. When four days out, we had to hail an incoming ship and buy two casks of water, and within a week Aunt Hetty’s economy left us without tea or coffee. It has always been a marvel to tho seafaring men of Kennehuuk that the blig reached her port of destination. Captain Jones was an old fashioned sailor, who made his way almost altogether by dead reckoning. He could get the latitude of the sun at noonday after a tremendous struggle, but when he had worked oat his sights he wasn’t sure of his position within 50 miles. Tho brig’s sails wire old, the rigging sadly out of repair, and j her foremast was so insecure that only about half the usual amount of sail was spread. It was pure luck that she ever reached Porto Rico, oven though she made the longest passage on record. She j was hardly in port before Drake desert- ’ ed and shipped on a craft bound for ! Liverpool. Tho sailors disliked him to a man, and strong hints had been thrown out that if the treasure was not i found it would be the worse for him. ■ The man’s desertion made no difference in our plans. Uncle Abel and Aunt Hetty were certain they conld find the buried gold without his assistance, and when the matter was talked over everybody was glad he had departed, as there i would be lv’5,000 more to divide up
[ among tho rest.
When tho cargo had been discharged, i tho brig started for Petrel island. The j Virgin group lay dead to tho east, and yet Captain Jones managed to miss it and run 100 miles into tho Atlantic before bo figured out what had hap]iened. Then he turned back, came very near wrecking his craft on the reefs of Sombrero and after many days came to anchor off the east coast of Petrel island. Drake had described a certain bay. While he had never seen it, wo did find a hay answt -ing pretty well to the description. The beach on the north side of this hay was something like the one he h id told us of, but there was no tree nor lock where he had placed it. It was decided to go ashore and prospect, however, and an examination of the shore resulted in a stay of three weeks, ! during which there was some lively dig- ! ging. Wo might have remained longer j but for the trouble between tho captain
and his wife.
When the long search and hard work brought nothing. Aunt Hetty called him an idiot and bewaih d their financial ruin. Undo Abel fired up and talked back, and they had it hut and heavy fur an hour or two. At last the captain said he was going home. His wife declared she would stay until she found the gold. Everybody was drawn into the quarrel and had to take sides, and tho result was that Captain Jones and three of the men took tho yawl and started off, and four of us were left with the brig. I must explain that tho captain’s move was made with a view of bulldozing his wife. lie expected to ho called hack and to see Aunt Hetty knuckle down, and when nothing of the sort happened ho concluded tocoast around the island and make a further search for the treasure. A gale of wind blew them out upon tho broad Atlantic, and for 14 days they look'd upon themselves as doomed. They had but little water and provisions, last mast and sail the first day and were within a week driven to cut up their boots and chew the leather. On the fourteenth day, when all were ready to give up, they 'came across the bark North Star. You may have read that this craft, belonging to Boston, came out of Havana with the yellow fever aboard. She had a crew of eight men, and she was hardly clear of Abaco island when the captain, mate and two
“BEK HERE, MATE.”
and living in his house. When they had talked of ships and sailors and gales and calms for a couple of hours, the stranger suddenly turned upon my uncle with: “See here, mate, you have made me welcome and used me like a man, and I’m a good mind to put you in the way of a good tiling. Send the boy tubed and get rid of the old woman, and I’ll tell you something to open your eyes. ” '‘The boy” strongly objected to going off to bed just at that juncture, and, as for the “old woman, ” who was of course my Aunt Hetty, she plumped herself down between the two men with her knitting work and grimly observed: “What you have to say to Abel can be said before his family or not at all!” I don’t think Drake had any other object than to find lodgings; but, discovering that Undo Abel was rather credulous, ho conceived a plan. He was only about 40 years of age, and the fact of his being on the tramp should have he. n proof to the captain that there was something wrong with him as a sail r. After many mysterious nods and wink; and chuckles to arouse our curiosity and after obliging the three of ns to hold up our right hands ami swear never to reveal the secret to mortal man, he reeled off his yarn. Aside from many other voyages, he had made several trips from Now York and Boston to the West Indies. On one of these trips, which was his last voyage, he had befriended a sick and dying sailor at Porto Rico. When the man found that ho must die, ho told Drake of a treasure of $300,000 in gold buried on one of the Virgin islands, of which there are five, lying to the eastward of the island of St. Thomas. There was tho usual rough map drawn by a sailor’s hand, but Drake had lost this. He remembered, however, that tho treasure was on Petrel island, and that one must step off 21 paces from a certain tree toward a certain great rock. Tho dying sailor had not been a pirate, but a mutineer, and tho treasure had come from an English vessel which was carrying tho gold to one of the Bahamas to pay a government claim. 1 can’t remember all the particulars as Drake related them, but lie was a smooth tongned and plausible liar and mado out a fine story. He was sure tho gold was still there, and he had been waiting to find some one who would deal honestly with him. My Uncle Abel drank in and believed every word the liar uttered, but not so with Aunt Hetty. She sized tho man up for what he was and plainly told him that he was yarning. Ho pretended to bo much grieved at her suspicions, and when he went off to bed ho said lie would go to Kennebunk and try to find some ship owner or captain who would be willing to bring the treasure off and make a fair divide. There was $300,000 in coined gold, and all he wanted for himself was
$25,000. *
. it ti.wi'Ltii.g, .*iie urtCi Vt!\> >,,, hi? y-trn ai*d ndded to it. Aunt lf"ftr began to weaken in her objections and finally came to believe there was something in P Before (h-i day was over she was as enthusiastic as Uncle Abel, and I
that was the beginning of what I have 1 ,lh( ^ AN 1 ■•odding. termed a straiuro voyage. In the course others died, and the survivors got out a
of a couple of days the captain and
.A*
Drake. Nevertheless Aunt Hetty decided that we should go to work. One of the men paced off 21 paces in three different directions, and we began to dig When nothing was found, wo tried 14 paces, then h v.ii. then dug up the tree its* If. aAs a matter of fact, wo dug up tho entire lieaeli before wo left off, or at least so thoroughly prodded it with iron r* ds that we felt sure nothing of value lay buried in tho sands. We were working there 15 days before we gave up. Avnt Hetty wantid to try another place, but the two Kcunebnuk sailors had had enough of it and wanted to go home. There was a settlement of fishermen on the north side of the island, and almost everyday we had been visited by a boat. Tho people knew what we were after and laughed anil ridiculed. The idea was to get three or four of these fishermen to help navigate the brig to Porto Rico, where we could replace them, hut as soon as they found we were short handed they refused to ship unless paid $3 per day apiece. Aunt Hetty was purser as well as cook, and she said she'd let the brig rot at her moorings before she’d bo robbed. Our great good luck came out of a quarrel. Aunt Hetty got angry because wo refuM <1 to do more digging and had a jaw with the sailors and attempted to give me a whipping. When I ran away from her, she took the small boat and put off for the brig, leaving tho three of us ashore. This happened one forenoon. The two men lay down in the shade to sleep, while I walked along the beach to gather shells. In going to tho west, and after walking about two miles, carrying one of the iron rods on my shoulder as a weapon, I came upon a smaller bay than the one the brig was lying in. At the head of this hay was another sandy beach, and in the center of tho beach, just at high water mark, stood a big rock all by itself. I advanced to this rock and finally climbed upon it. 1 had given up all thoughts of the treasure, and why the idea came to me to make a search here I cannot toll. I iiist paced seven steps to the west and probed the sand. Then I made it 14, then 21. Then 1 returned to the rock and paced to the east. At tho third trial, or at 21 paces, I was close to a largo tree which had lost mo t of its branch' a in a hurricane. I began prodding on the north side of it, where souio of the routs were exposed, and 1 hadn’t worl-'d tivo minutes before l struck something to make my heart jump. I knew it wasn’t a shi ll or a stone by tho feel of it, and it didn't occur to mo that it might be a plank or beam wash* d up by the si a. So sure was 1 that 1 had struck a treasure box that 1 flung down the rod and ran away to fetch tho sailors and the shovels. Y* liat did my discovery amount to? Well, wo took from under the roots of that true four iron handed boxes full of Spanish dollars, being $24,01)0 in all. The money, judging from the dates en tho coins and tho condition of the boxes, had been buried fi r at least 20 years, and whether by pirate or some one else wo did not care. Wo pot it aboard tho brig and got the brig to Porto Rico without any one being the wiser, and from thence sailed Inline in ballast, with Aunt Hetty acting n boss of all hands. That we gut safely home, and that out of a Tom Fool’s errand and a dozen misfortunes my relatives secured a fortune in ready cash, you can satisfy yourself by a talk with any of the old citizens of Kennebunk. It all happened 30 years ago, but there are plenty of people still living who will relate all the particulars and givo you names and dates.

The Fare of a Watch. Wo boliove it was George Augustus Sala who oneo suid he would think himself safe in betting a £5 note that not more than one person out of a score could toll correctly offhand in what way the hour 4 is represented on a watch or clock-dial. Most people without looking would say IV instead of IIII. And why should it not bo IV? Well, here is the story. Tho fiist clock Which kept anything like accurate time was constructed by a certain Henry Vick in 1370. It was made to the order of Charles V of France, who was called Tho Wise. Wise ho certainly was in some respects, but he did not know everything, though he liked to pretend that ho did. When Vick brought him his clock, ho looked closely at its movements for some time. “Yes, it works very well,” he said at length, “but you have get the figures on the dial wrong.” "Surely not, your majesty," said
Vick.
“Yes, that four should be four ones ” “You are wrong, your majesty.” ”1 am never wrong, ” thundered tho

Drako went ovi r to Kennebunk to look for a suitable craft. They found the brig Foam for sale, and the captain drew his last dollar from the bank, mortgaged bis farm sold off 3 oow«, 4° sheep, 10 hogs and a yoke of oxen and raised the money to buy her. As everybody knew he had given up the sen, this move of his was productive of much gossip. When it was known that Aunt Hetty was to go along, tho gossip increased. Drako gut drunk and boasted of the treasure, and so it came about that everybody knew tho object of our quest, though no one knew just where we werogoing. Captain Jones was called ! a fool by his best friends, but neither ; ridicule nor abuse had any effect on j him. By the time ho was ready for sea lie was a firm believer that he would re | turn with money enough to buy out all Kennebunk, and bi a wife was even more enthusiastic. We shipped a mute and four sailors on tho “lay” plan. Koch was to have a certain per cent of th* treasure, if found. Aunt Hetty was to act us cook. This gave us seven men, and I went along as cabin boy. The brig sailed for Boston, got a cargo for Porto
Rico, and wo were finally off.
We were hardly clear of the land when trouble arose. Drake wanted to live in tho cabin and play passenger in-
boat and abandoned her. They landed on tho Florida coast, while the bark, loaded with sugar, drifted out to sea. It was this craft Captain Jones and his men ran across after she had been drifting for three weeks, and it is a matter of record that the four men, after sailing her all over the Atlantic and meeting with a hundred adventures, finally took a pilot 150 miles off Sandy Hook and got the hark safely into New York. Captain Jones got $11,000 salvage money as his share, which was $3,000
more than the Foam cost him. My Aunt Hetty did not believe that
Uncle Abel meant to leave us and the brig, but when the gnlfl came on all ot us felt sun 1 tho four men had met their deaths. Wo did no work for five days. Then, feeling that disaster had overtaken the quartet, and that she was a widow, Aunt Hetty wiped away her tears and began to stir around. She still believed in the existence of the treasure. Wo had failed to find it because we had not looked in tho right spot. By her orders we weighed anchor and coasted around to the south side of the island. There we opened up another bay and cast anchor. The beach was of bund and about 50 feet wide. Back of it was a thick growth of forest. There was a lone tree on the beach just above high water mark, but no rock as described bv
| iilintuko.
Vick did as commanded, and so to | this day we have IIII when wo should i really have IV.—Ladies’ Treasury.
