LEGEND OF HIDDEN TREASURE IN CENTRAL AMERICA. Two VfintnreNnitie Mna Har the Rtnry From an )I1 I ml Inn, and With Him m Guide They Bvnk Oat the Place Only Two of ths Tnrty Return. "Yon're counting too nnieh on the word of iin Indian. Old Znpetl iH a not ed liar like nil these fcSpuuish speaking aborigines. " "Ah, .lack, yon do him injnstioe. He's a deeper liur thnn yon give him credit for. It's ridiculous to believe that tho nncieutslind enough mechanical knowledge to contrive a machine that conld pre von t oue from getting ut the gold." This lni.t speech was front, my old comradn, Tom French. We were in the interior of C'entrul America when the foregoing conversation took pluce. It was the end of ninny a long donate we Jbad had on the sabjeut of a search for a treasure. The legend wan briefly that deep i the center of a crater of a wornont vol otflio the ancient Indians' of that coun try had excavated a vanlt where they bad piled tip countless bars of lrgiu gold. There was above this plumed a bowlder, the culy indication of the hid ing place. The pecoliarity of the crater was Unit it was fonr square, half a mile each way, and from the summit to the floor, a distance of 600 feet. To reach the floor thorn was a hidden path and this was guurded by a mysterious gold en band. Tradition, the Indians said, made it possible to locate the momitnin in only one way. That was by climbiug the peaks in the barren region fur above ns to the southeastward until cue should be found from whose lofty crests there were three other peaks forming a straight line. In the central mountain was the treasure. Few burdens could be carried with ns In that high, rare atmosphere, and we were soon on our way with old Za petl shaking his head, as if in predic tion of disaster. Burdened as we were by our out of door life, tbe strain was terrible. We lost our way repeutedly and found ourselves confronted by vast crevices in our putbway up the mountain side. Wide detours, costing us half day and sometimes a day of valuable time, were perforce made, only to find ourselves at tbe top of a precipice that barred our progress. We bad with in finite trouble climbed two lofty moun tains, only to find ourselves at the sum mit out of range of other mouutuin towns, us demuuded by the legend, when I finally refused to go further. It was suioidul. Hulf our provisions and water were guue. But Tom pleaded for oue more chance. "Do you see tbat long range?" be cried. "It's la one of those. Let's make one more attempt" In mis taken pity for him I yielded. As we reached the summit, behold I there were three mountain peaks in a row. Tom sprang forward and after another struggle we were at tho top of the central ii.onntnfn. As wo appronch rd the top it could bo seeii t hut there hnd been volcanic uclion in ages past. Znpotl's fvos were rolling in every di rection, on 1I10 lookout for some super lint n i n) phen. inenoii. Suddenly bursting through, di ni-e fringe, of bushes we found onix Ives on the very edge of a vast crater. As with common impulse wo looked to the center, mid there was an iniincum bowlder. "At lust," cried Tom, "nt l i. t!" Then ho ran his eye nlong the crpe, scanning it foot by foot. "Tho p T.h," he almost screamed, und ho Mvnililed ulong at a pace Unit, exhausted a ; we were, we conld scarce ly maintain. "Takocare, Tom," I man aged to r,;:: r.late, though I was nearly ns wild i .3 he. But Tom apparently heard nothing. He hnd eyes mid ears only for tho no goal. The I'f.lh Hong the side of the preci pice, wo could soo, led upward from the wide floor if tho urenu far below us, but tho top was concealed from our in tent ftnzc by a dense muss of shrubbery. Aronnd tho sides of tho crater we half stumbled, half run. When we reached tho lipot v here we thought it possible to strike upon the opening, we made dashes here and there into the greenery. After ninny disappointments a cry from Tom told me the path hud been found. Zapetl by this time was in a state of collapse through fenr and fatigue. Again I warned Trim to exorcise caution, but he plunged ahead, und I followed as slowly us I could. The pnth downward was noi morn than a foot in width, and it inquired all my strength mid dexteri ty to keep my footiiiR. Suddenly on rounding a sharp anglo in the face of the precipieo I was confronted by n flut rock llvo minutes' climb further down. It seemed to ho set in tho face of the crnter and to jut out, cutting off further progress in that direction. The rock was of a prculiur reddish yellow color, and, on lookiLg more intently, it seem ed to take upou itself the shape of monstrous Ti;.nd. It flashed over me all nt once this was the golden hand of tho Indian's legend. I culled to Tom, but he was far below me. "Tom, the rock!" I cried hoarsely, and my own Voice soniided strangely in my ears, lint Tom had already readied it. Sud denly a scream of anguish I shall never forget rose in that awful stillness, and in another ii.stant I saw that ponderous hand of grldeu stone sink lower, still lower. Another scream wildor than be fore and Tom's form could be seen striv ing vainly to clutch with bis bands the smooth surface as it sank downward with inoreusing rapidity. I shut my eyes and listened. The sight was too awful to bear. When I opened them, the rock tbut hnd turned on a pivot with poor Tom's weight was upright and was moving back to its original place. Of that frightful fall into the crater I nev er dared to think. Old Zupetl aud I bud weary duys of toil in our return to the plant utiou, ai d my life was ueurly for feited by a fever iu which I could hear Tom's lust despairing shriek aud see him sliding to his awful death.

Bomarka That Ham Keen Mad Aronad tho Table. A good story is told of a lawyer in Chicago who considered himself n great authority on whist. He wrote a book on tho subject, and sent it to a famous Mil waukee player for his opinion of it. Iu about a week tho book wns returned to him, with tho following lottor: StT Dhah Sm Ynnr fnvnr nf tho tnnt., aoeompnnlrrl by your lfink, wns duly received. I hnvo rend It Very nirrfiilly.

It is no unusual thing to hear a play er at whist remark, after boing berated by his partner for very bad playing, "Well, I play whist for pleasure. ' He does not stop to think that he gives his partner anything but "plensnro." Such players ennse their partners many "nn mnuvnis quart d'heura." It miizht be a great "pleasure" for a novice to play a duet on the piano with Paderewski. Onn can readily imagine how much "plensnro" Pndorewski would find in the performance. If a man wants to play whist, he should study the books mid familiarize himsolf with tliem be fore inflicting his play on a partner who knows any thing of the game, or else de vote his great mind to dominos. It is related of oue of these gentry thnt, after a hand at whist, his pnrtner asked him, "Why in thunder didn't you trump that queen of clubs?" He naive ly replied. "Why, I only hnd one little tramp. " Sometimes, ns in this case, the humor unknown to the perpetrator carries off tho bnd feeling engendered by bis horrid mistakes mid ignorance. It is so easy, if ono would devote a lit tle tinio and ordinary intelligence to the study of the gonio, to learn to piny a fnirly good game of whist. Four players started a gnme of whist not long since, n noted wit being one of them. Ho was dealing and mado n mis deal. Ho dropped his enrds and burst into laughter. "Thnt reminds mo," said ho, "of my dear old friend. Judge Feck hnm, father of tho present Judge. Ho was a great whist plnyer of the 'old school' mid had scant patience with a poor piny or. I wns passing the cardroom one day und met one of the poorest play ers in tho club coming out. 'Have you been playing whist?' I asked. 'Yes,' said he. 'Who wus your partner?' 'Judge Feckhnm,' he replied. 'Did he pitch into you pretty strong?' 'No, indeed. He only made ono remark. I wns deal ing und mado a misdeal. Tho judge snid, "Why, yon fool, you don't even know how to deal!" This is the only remark ho mado during the entire game, ' "Washington Star. A SAVAGE MARSUPIAL.
