COW! v v 'MM OP" For the Idea of Hie treasure grow ami grow like n noxious living thing within him. devouring till healthier natural strength. , Ho searched in old books for accounts of recovered estates, and studied the English law on ovory point that could help him hereoftor." lie was ro oolved not to be nltogotlier a tool in the .hands of Ludlow. That worthy, how ever, nfter tho second year of unsuccess ful effort, appeared to have surrendered nil liope of succeed: he forwarded rem larly the small sum due to Heath for his care ot tne House a sum sufficient to keep alive but cuased to oven Inquire s to mo progress Of ills search. After a ti ,ue he used to Mini tho money in a blank paper. TliU circumstance smng Leonard with a certain terriblo pain. Ludlow was tho only man who snw nu real name. These quarterly Kixare wuu their few wordu lusklo U "Leonard HfaUi," were the sola tie that IH-Id his old self bound to his fallow men Now that was cut loose ho was like one dead. After that I think ho could never have bean caUetl a satin man, bo entirely did the ono idra master and trample out of i signs uu otnera There was, however. I "isihocl in lin iiiitlutM. Tlie present house he knew had Imen built by the ' Foatajnos on or near the original Huutb uomcMtcad. rue covered entrance, thtro fore, to the ascret vault could not lit- . many rod removed from it. Beglnwing i wje teua, ne sonjected every fool or ground within ait acre of the i HMe to probing and digging. Th.' , ground waa rocky. It was imixw iblo to giieas hjiv deep tha en I trance had hsen covered by tho fall ! ing walls of house. Obliged to work , secretly and much of the time at night . it is no wonder that years paoed with I his tusk yet uiiilniahed. j A man iloes nut sink into the nature j of a greedy, soulleiw polypus at one uu ( broken fall. There were Ujiea wlien i Leonard Ileath canie up uM.it of the pits of yellow cl.iy in wliiult ha dag, mid ! stood staring with dulled eros down the 1 Bunny slopco of (jra-3 dotted with gold en dandelions, or into the dusky line of forest trees that stmt him in. He j had never, in his bust moments, been a I man nkiu to nature, or cojuizant of her i Bccrcts, yet there weighed upon him 1 now a senso of bitter low of having i fallon below tho level of manhood by j coin unknown misstep which ho could never rognin. Ho would walk feebly . about a while, us though trying to gropa nt some lost, idea, and then j;o back to his grubbing og'iin. Sometimes, on quiet Sundr.y after noons, a group of young mechanics with their sweethearts would saunter down tho Jane and into tha woods their gay dresses all a-flutter in tha sun and wind, and their chatter and laugh ter echoing through tho trees. Now. tho old man, as they called him, was In the habit of following tUj boys about who enmo nutting there, and try very tim idly to join in their talk or jokes, but when these lovers came he hid, liimcelf In the house, out of all night and hear ing of tfcem. One winter tho old man was missed ; thoro was a liule shop where lu wa us?d to go to buy a bit of meat or can dles: he showed himself but once or twice at the counter, nnd then it was with so ghastly and haggard a face that Mrs. Ryan, the shopkeeper, whose heart wn3 clean and sweet under her dirty woolen sacqtia, offered all sorts of womanly help to tho (one oreature. Ileath refused it gurlil'', and crept b'iek to hi den, is he thought, Jo die. Some low, intermittent feve-r had sapped all the strength out of him. But not the obstinacy, lie kept his secret, would not sumniun u physk-ian. Iu the lung, feverish nights ho had called for Winny and Joe; the long starved heart woke to torturo him. But in tho morning liih purpoBu remained firm. Thero was hut ono treasure in life wealth. If that wasloht what did death matter? Yet, during tho ensuing summer, he made but few eHorts in hU old search; used to sit fur hours in tho sun, half nslecp -aw old, broken, man. in truth.' It waa by accident, at last, that suc cos4 came tu him. He. was groping one day in th cellur for ooal, when he dis lodged a loose stone, and n blast of cold, damp air met him. On removing part of tho wall, n narrow bricked pas sage wsn revealed running underground. Bat Heath was only uble to penetrate a few feet. There the roqf of the tunnel hoi fullen In, and he was met by a solid mabs of rook and oarth hardened for half a century. His strength being gone, it was the work of months to re move this m tss and tho others which, met him iu bin progress. It was late in the fall before he forced a way through the last ohstaolu. an.) snw ths tunnel Open clear before him. It ran to so grtstt a distance tinder the woods t,hat he fancM It must Jiave hud formerly qru,q outer opening and served as a secret pnesavie. . It was a oool. bright morning when, armed with a pickax nnd a bundle of short candle for his lantern, lie entered the runnel to end Ills seared. The low roof, gripping with moisture, would not permit him to stand uprisfht. He crept ou into the long black vault, half bent, peering from side to aide, the mellow gleftut of hi lun tern Qlngin; fan luetic shadows; but nothing met hU eyes ex cept tho green ixitehes of lll0",j tlat furred tha walls aaJ the bluek. flitting shapes like gl0inUo tubs that moved before him, (lis Ureith failed him as lie moved. Surely, his band wj,i upon the treasure now! It haul- cart him dear.

The darkness, whiah lfls light duly broke, clubed be hind him; lie was s'nt in by it; thick, damp, ill smellbtg rti ht( the horror of U onme upon him the horror of dark ness and cold.

There woro some black .'ttttra on It, which ho spelled out lowly: "Title deed of real cstato in Liverpool leiongiiig io mo ilea tu rumlly."

He turned presently to takt up his .intern. The lU:uo was driven out sud. 'only by u rusn of oold alt; thtre was a ..iund na of rt Atnnt thuuisr. Tho wall. r the tunnel had fallen bohiud Mml io win Dur.ed l.i a livlas gravel ino cuurcli bells begun to ring. Ho -ould hear them, dulled an! sweet, then 'ioy were eilent.

Thought comes lean sametlmes in mortal pain. Leonard Heath knew now what he was: Homeless, nameless, with neither wife. hild nor friend to search for his liones. x to say, with ever so littlo resrret. ''Ho was here, nnd ho is gone." llie bubble on the river would break mu tlie not less unmissed than he. Tho Iiysicnl torturo of starvation gave him "it so much suffering as to know IhU at ost. He cried aloud. It seemed to iilui, so terrible was the pain of noul which thus uttered itself, that (Jod liim celf must hear nnd answer. But tlie hock of hia voice only loosened the oebbl 's from the wall, "and they rolled rattling to the,iound. Townrd the close of the third day, when he lay down in n new plr.ee on ..he bricks, n ust of damp air struck ills f.ico. Then it occurred to him to wonder why the vault had. been free from noxious gases. There must .be MOiue opening tu the outer air. Roused and startled, lie dragged himself up nnd crawled to the wall from whence the draught samo. The earth was lightly heaKd; lie cleared it away and found a passage. It was, in' fact, a continua tion of the tunnel in the opposite direc tion, but Ilea tli was too weak to reason. How long ho was in creeping through he never knew. There was n blast of cool night air; a heavy muss of tangled vinos brushed in his face; he thrust them abid-: a soft light glimmered before his eyes; it was the blue heaven studded with stars. Leonard Heath crept out of- the break in tho bank nnd stood in a quaint old fashioned garden ulxiut a cotlogo. A bird, frightened in its 6loep, chirped in its nest in the cherry tree bcMdc liim; tho path ran, between rows of privet bushoH nnd ciimton altheus; the damp night air was fragrant with tho scent of spice pinks. But In the qvenlng air thero came also tho sound of a woman's voice singing nn old Scotch lament. Tlie door of tho house was iwrtly mado of glass, und n bright tiro light bhonu through it. He went to it. Some figures, which his dim eyos could Hcarcely distinguish, were gathered about the hearth. But in the warmest corner nn old leathern chair shone cheer fully, vacant and waiting. Then he opened the door, and, with u feeble pry, btood before them. Later in the night, when Leonard Houth, warmed und clothed nnd fed, sat In the long vacant seat and they all gath ered about him. ho unfastened the copper case. Tlie lid was rusted into holes. Joe only untied, therefore, sorrowfully, knowing what the end mint lie. When the bos was oiened the deed fell from It, a heap of powdered dust, which a pull of wind blew over the hearth. Joe put his liand on ItUj brother's headt "My poor lad! You havo loat your place In the world, after nil." But Leouard's face had n brightness which it had not learned when ha was a boy. "I lost H (or many years, but I came to it again to-night." He wan tdieot fur a little while. "You found the fortune lougugo, Joe,' ha ald; and he drew Wlnuy's hand closer in his own. looking out from the warm home Into tho uulet nature ljuhinrl which (Jod was waiting.

WALEEE, USIE BARCLAY was In the back yard one Monday night, taking the clothes from the lino, when her father's h ired men, Tliomas Ty ler and Samuel Date, came up the lane from tho potato field. They both looked at tho girl, but if cither of them thought she made a pretty picture, flitting in and out among the snowy unen. mo slanting sunbeams falling on her shapely form and comely face nnd sinning uiaclc hair, he did not say so to his fellow; for, though Farmer Barclay nircu men had plowed and nlnnteil and hoed side by side through the spring uu summer uays, anu at nigut slept to gether in tho big chamber over the kitchen, thoy were not on confidential terms. Samuel Dale, who had been nn tho farm half a dozen years, was jealous oi mo growing mtlucnco of a compara tivo Btranger. who. it seemed likelv would supplant him In more ways than one. Ufliiy tho previous spring, a well dressed, good looking man, .about 00 years of age, knocked at Fanner Bar clay s door and offered to hire out for the summer. The farmer took him upon inai nanus were scarce that year and when his month was out, engaged hiiu for the season. He was omart to work as a man needed to be who could hoe his row with Samuel Dale clever contrivance and handy with tools. Ho kept the farmer's mouth stretched with his jokes, though he seldom showed his own winto teeth in a lauuh "A sharp wltted, wide awake follow. said Farmer Barclay, "who pays for his bread and bacon by hia good companjc" The new hand was no less a favorite indoors. Susie Barclay, the farmer'i only child, housekeeper and mistress- her mother. was dead looked with in creasing favor upon tlie callantstranc-er. wno. wnen ne was by. would not allow her to bring a pall of water from the well or a handful of kiudlinir wood from tho shed, but performed theso offices for her with a respectful deference of man ner, accompanying them with well worded compliments and admirine- glances that were very flattering to the simple country girl. Meanwhile, Sam uel Dale lounged on the porch or sat uangung uu long legs from tho kitchen table. vii me juonuay evening when our story commences the two men washed at the pump, and -Tliomas Tvler. after carciuuy brushing tho dust from his clonics anu running a pocket comb through his crisp black curls, hastened to join Susie Barclay In the clothes yard, wiiue Samuel Dale went out to the far mer on the porch. Dale was tall and somewhat uneainlv in person, with a ruddy, open face nnd a pleasant brown oye. He was simple and siraignttorwara in manner, had a sunm temper, and was honest through and through. Tho old farmer was half aslcen in hi cnair, anu tne setting, sun shone full upon nu jolly red face and gray hair. "Father Barclay." said Samuel Dale. "I want to know how much longer you aro going to lot this go our" "Ehl What, Sammy?" said tho old man, waking with a start. "You reckon we d better put it down to oats, don't vo'; llio way we've been coin' on with that meuuer lot would spile tho best pieco of land In the state of Ohio." "See hero. Father Barclay," said the young man. "I have that on ray mind lately that leaves me no heart for farm work. Look yonder, will vou? That gin nas oeen as good as promised to i. , t . - . - me these three years, und we'd been man and wife before this, onlv vou said she was too young, nnd coaxed mo to watt a spell. Now look at her. will your' I ho porch commanded a view of the green yard sloping down to the meadow bank behind the farm house. Susie's task was completed, and tlie great round basket at her side was heaped high with tho snow white .linen. Her companion was taking down tlie line, when sudden ly, by a dexterous movement, ho threw a coil over the girl's head. Sho struggled to freo herself, but it waa plain to see. by her laughing, blushinir faco and the yielding motion of her sunnle frame toward her captor, that she was no un willing prisoner in his grasp.

But sho did not put her pity into words. Sho listened to his slow, heavy steps as ho mounted tho stairs to ills chamber, till tlio gate opened with a sharp click, and sho heard Thomas Tyler'f orisir tread as ho camo up the walk. Then sho ran to tho kitchen glass to nr rango tho knot of pink ribbons under her chin, and thought no moro of Samuel Dalo that night, Tho poor fellow could not Bleop for his aching Heart: and when, an hour later, hi3 room mate camo in, whistling softly to Himself, with his black oyes Binning, Samuel D.1I0 lay and watched hlra from between his half closed lids. Tho man took writing materials from his trunk, and was soon busily at work, bending closely to his task. Ho uppearcd to bo making a copy of a letter bpread out before mm; and when it was com plctcd, and ho held up tho two docu ments sido by side, it seemed to Samuel Dalo at tho distance whero ho lay that tho work was well done, for the copy might Havo been mistaken for tho orig inal. Mr. Tyler scanned the result of hi. labor critically; nodded his head once 01 twice in approbation; then, locking tin papers In his trunk, betook himself to bed II. Tho farmer wfa twice surprised tlu noxt day. Samuel Dale announced hi; Intention of leaving tho farm when hit year was out, and hU daughter, with smilos nnd blushes, informed him thai ho had passed her word, provided he was willing, to tako Thom.13 Tyler for n hushand. Why, Susie," said tho old man, "you strike mo nil of u heap! Sammy Dah has been waitin' for you theso three years, and you are as good as promisee to him, you know, I've reckoned al along ou liim an' you hltchln' horses, nn' carryin' on tho form after I was tmdei round. "Fathsr, I never promised to marr Samuel Dalo.

Tyler, I'll marry tho man of my hoice. father, or I'll live and dlo an old naid." " Then came coaxing and tears, and tho oasv old man, who had never crossed liis daughter's wishes since her mother lied, yielded. Well, well, Susie, you must have yourown way, I suppose," he said; "and lorn Tylers a smart fellow, and right handy about the farm." Ha admtnistored comfort ta Samuel Dale in his own peouliar fashion: "W hats the use of taking It so hard, Sammy? There's likely girls besides Sue Barclay, who will have you for theoskm'. I wUh you'd makeup your mind to settle down snug and comfortable, and let things go along in the old track." Samuel Dale shook hia head. "I had best be gone," na said "best for her and beat for tne. I'd be right glad to go to-morrow, but you have always done, the fair thing by me, nnd I can't leave you right in tlie busy season. 1 11 stay till after barvestln', and then I'll be off.

"Well, somebody has.

Susio assisted her father to search for tho missing letter, but it could not be found. Thomas Tyler was busy again that night with lib writing after every one clso in tho house was In bed. and the next day ho took the farmer's old white horso and drovo over to Lester's Corners. Susio followed him to the porch, and as ne urew nor under tho shadow of tlu grapovino to snatch a nartlnir kiss slit saw tho corner of a letter peeping from 111a uucitet anu too 1C 81V1V out. lleforr sho read tho address ho discovered hi. loss and caught her hand so rouchlr mat hub crieu oui Witt! pain.

IV. Before harvesting was over tho wed ding day was fixed. A hired girl tool Susie's place in the kitchen, and sho sal all day at her chamber window over looking tho beautiful golden fields where her lover was nt work, making her wed ding dress. And when tho corn crib was full, and tho wheat was In tho barn. and the potatoes In the collar, sho came to Samuel Dale and asked him, in her pretty, coaxing way, not to leave Bar clay Farm till after tho wedding. Tho poor fellow, whose heart crow sorer and sorer at tho thought of his loss, looked in her bright face with pas sionate, regretful tenderness. "I'll stay 11 you mu me, susio," ho sold. And now commenced grand prepara tions, nnd tho beating of ecirs. the pounding of spices, and stirring and shaking nnd sifting were sounds all day heard in the great kitchen of the farm house, for the brido-clect and Betsey, the hired girl, made the wedding cake, Only tho bride's loaf was ordered from Cleveland, for Susio Barclay declared $lo could not bo married without a cer tain wondorful structure, to lo made with frosting an inch thick, and sur mounted with two sugar doves, their bills meeting in a conjugal kisa. Great was her distress, therefor,", when, the venlng before the wedding, tho stage foiled to bring tho expected box. "Don t fret, Susie," said Samuel Dale. who could not bear to see a shadow on tbe dear faco. "I'll ride over to Lester's early in tho morning, and If it's there you shall havo it by 10 o'clock." Accordingly, ho was up betimes, and as the wagon rattled out of tho yard the bride put her head from the window. "Ride fast, Samuel," she said, "and bo sura and be bock by 10 o'clock, or you'll miss the ceremony.' "Confound tho ceremony!" said Sat- uel Dalo, for there was a limit to the long suffering patienoe of even this ex- omplary young man; nnd then aloud: "All right, Susio: I'll be back in good time," and so departed. At Lester's Corners be found what he sought, and. pleased to think that now Susie would havo her wedding loaf, was leaving the depot when the station master called after him. "There's a woman hero waiting to take the stage to Barclay's," Iro said; "will you. give her a ride?" Samuel Dale turned back with reluct ance. "I don't know how to stop a minute," ho said; "I agreed to be back by 10 o'clock." The man called to some one within, and a small woman, with a pinched, careworn face, and thin, light hair, an peered in tho doorway. She was dress ed in shabby black, and her clothing was creased and tumbled and soiled by a long journey. "Here's a gentleman will take you ta Barclay's, marm," said tho man. "Ilur. rj" up he oan t wait." She looked timidly In Samuel Dale's face, but still stood tn the doorway. "There's tlie box, sir," she said; "would the gentleman kindly take the boxr" "Oh, that's all right," said the official. "I'll send it up by tbe stage.
