San Francisco. The day of air limousines Is here. If you suddenly make up your mind you want to hop off for anywhere within gasolene range, jnerely call up your air chauffeur and tell him to have the or boat ready. That Is what Mrs. W. A.

Then she called up her friend, Mrs. Mazie Faulk of San Francisco and asked her to go along. Mrs. Faulk accepted pronto. Great Convenience. W. W. Williams, formerly of the Royal Flying Corps of Canada, who acts as pilot, had the motor turning over when the two women, dressed in flying togs, reached the Marina. As soon as the women had taken their seats he stepped on the throttle and the big Standard J-l plane, with a Curtiss K-fj motor, was on its way.

"Like it?" Said Mrs. Kedjlie. "Of course I do. Who wouldn't?

FINDS PERUVIAN GOLD ON ISLAND

Man Who Befriended Beggar Is Rewarded With Key to Buried Treasure. ROMANCE IS HOT YET DEAD Locates 'After Search of More Than Seven Years Gold Hidden Half Century Ago Church Despoiled by Four Sailors. Papeete, T. Iii 1 1. Romance is not yet dead. Tales of buccaneering, murder on the high seas, buried gold on lonely, uninhabited islands and charts and cryptograms of hidden treasuretrove are not all Inventions of imaginative minds or legends of a day which Is long past. " Swh a tale is that of the treasure of the island of Pinaki, whose hiding place, after u patient search of more than seven years, has at last been discovered. And now a schooner from Tahiti has been dispatched to bring away the gold. Sailors Despoil the Peruvian Church. A half century ago four sailors, deserters from a coastwise vessel, joined revolutionists in Peru and learned of a vast treasure of jewels, plate and Ingots, the property of the church, which had been hidden in Peru to prevent it from falling into the hands of one of the warring factions. Secretly, the sailors searched for the treasure, found it concealed in a church and moved it to another hiding place on the coast. doing to Panama, the seafarers, at night, boarded a small schooner, murdered the crew and, after putting the treasure aboard, set sail across the Pacific, Intending to make some European port later to dispose of their wealth. Recalling that they had no clearance papers and probably could not enter a European port safely, they decided to hide the goJd on some uninhabited island and then get it later in a vessel they would charter at Sydney, N. S. W., for trading purposes. Across their path lay the island of Pinaki, in the Pauniotu archipelago of the south seas, and at this uninhabited spot they stopped and hid tlu ir loot. One native, who observed them from a neighboring island and rowed across to see what the men from the strange schooners were doing, was killed and his tribal brothers, who crossed later, fouud only his empty canoe and strange markings on the trees. Sailing on to Australia, the four scuttled their vessel a few miles from shore and, rowing to land, told of a storm at sea which opened the seams of their ship. Not nil believed them, for some residents had seen the ship approaching and had witnessed Its mysterious sinking. There were no police, however, in that section, and as the four looked desperate, they were permitted to strike out overland for Sydney unmolested. Beggar Divulges Hiding Place. In years, later, a Mr. Howe was accosted on a Sydney street by an aged beggar. Howe gave the man a few shillings and was surprised to hear the man ask his name and address. Some time later Howe received an urgent summons to a Sydney hospital. There he found the beggar, who told of how he and three others had buried their treasure, had sailed on to Australia and had se- out overland for Sydney. Rlacks had attacked them and killed two of the sailors. The beggar and his surviving companion, Brown, tried for years to get a ship to go for the treasure, but never obtained money enough. Rrown finally disappeared, and he, Killrain, had fallen into misfortune and knew Iiis end was near, lie gave Howe a map of the Island, begged him to believe the story and to search for the treasure. The following day the beggar died. Since then Howe has been searching for the treasure, and lately announced that he had found it in a shallow lagoon on Pinaki. Lately he chartered a schooner at Papeete to go to lift the gold after making a contract with the colonial government as to his rights in the matter. It is said the treasure Is worth several million dollars. Deposit of Stone Age, Man's Leavings Found Mixnity. Austria.
