Mr. Norris was an old bachelor. lie was a crank and a miser. It was sure that he had plenty to live on, and yc-t he lived alone and in squalor. He lent money whom any­ one would pay him 10 per cent inter, cst, and he was the ojyner of several pieces of real estate. Among them was an old cider mill. I t was in the rear end of this that the old man had his residence. In the fall he ground apples and made cider for all who would buy, and this was his only work. It had been talked over a hundred times by the villagers that Norris had his money burled where robbers could not get it and that in case he died sud­ denly his hclrc, if any came forward, would have great trouble in finding it. This was a real cause of worry to many citizens. Some of them even went so far ns to advise the old man to tell them the exact spot so as to save time in dinging. When he re­ fused to do so it was taken as another evidence of his meanness. On the morning that his death became known the village of Colville was as exalted' as if a circus had come to town. Now the disputed point as to how much he was worth and how much money he had buried would be known to. all There were some who would have gone hunting for that money right away had not the justice of the peace stepped in and taken charge; Men came from a distance of fifty miles to help in that search. At one time the searchers numbered nearly a thousand, and so many strangers had to he lodged and fed that Colville took on a boom. > Tlie first tiling was to search the old mill. Men fought each "other as they crowded into it, Then the half acre of sterile soil around it must be explored, then the marsh and the piece of woods back of It. Most of the searchers gave up after two, but some continued on night; At the end, howev had been found. Five years passe*!, and then came the next brain storm. A tin peddier drove into the village to. remain over Sunday. On Sunday afternoon he wan­ dered down to the old mill to have a look a t the ruins. A high wind on Sat­ urday night lmd brought roof and frame to the earth, in “mousing" around his eye was caught by the fiut- ter of a piece of paper, and an hour 'later the village was seething. The ptddler was no bog. He had found a good thing, but was ready to divvy with the public, If he got $10,000 out of it the villagers might share the rest. That piece of paper was the key to the, -old miser’s burled treasure, It must, have been, concealed in a hollow beam all the time. The writing on it mo as follows: “Oct !7th, 188&-B one 15 of C today 7 p w or the b O T.” The town didn’t think mneh of that peddler when he entered i t He was looked upon as just a common tin ped­ dler Who look paper, rags, sheepskins, old iron, beeswax, butter and eggs and such things in exchange for his tin pans and dippers. Before Sunday had passed, however, men were taking off their hats to him and wondering when ho would bo governor of the state. He was the only one that could make any sense of the paper, and he didn’t give it away until after he had been invited to dinner by the Justice. Then lie read It off as; “Burled one barrel of cash today seven paces west of the big oak tree.” It was evening when the puzzle was solved. Lanterns, were lit and bon. fires built and the seven paces paced off. They struck at a spot where there had been no digging, and the justice appointed ten men to guard the place for the night. In the morn­ ing the ruins would he searched for more papers. There must bo others. When a miser begins to bury barrels of cash ho does not stop at one. He goes right ahead and buries five or six In order to make the search after his death Interesting, Hasty breakfasts or none at all were eaten next morning, and then the ruins were searched. Not nu inch of beam or board escaped scrutiny twice over Nothing further was found ex­ cept an old tobacco bos, and that v,*as empty, A groan of despair followed the conclusion of flic search. The miserable old man had buried only one barrel of cash, after all, and the tin peddler was to have 510,000 out of that. Four men began to dig at seven paces due west of the big oak tree. The ground had settled down as hard as asphalt, but had It been cast iron they would have stuck to the job. There were COO’ people in a circle about them when the shout of dis­ covery went up. One of the picks had struck the barrel. There was a great tush, and it was a quarter of an hour before It could be cleared of dirt and lifted out. Then there were more clieeta and more rushes. The barrel Was up ended at last, and as ilia head Was knocked In the price of real es­ tate in Colville coared to the clouds. Next moment it fell wllh a thud like that of a brick house coming down. The “b of e” was a barrel of cider in­ stead of a barrel of cash. Tho old man had buried it as an experiment to see wh: the taste would lie years lienee. T- o minutes of awful sus­ pense, hah n dozen terrible yells in chorus, and then the peddler went fly­ ing for his life and the villagers called each other fools and went homo, M, (jTT.\D.
