A Leafless are trees; their purp.e ora i ••tea 8preail themselves a!.toad, like reefs of coral. Rising silent In the Red Sea of the winter sunset. From the hundred chimneys of the vil lage, Like the Afriet in the Arabian story, Bntoky columns Tower aloft into the air of amber. At the window winks the flickering fire light; Here and there the lampa of evening glimmer. Social watch fires Answering one another through the dark ness. On the hearth the lighted logs are glow ing, And like Ariel in the cloven pine tree For its freedom Oroan9 and sighs the air Imprisoned in them. By the fireside there are peace and com fort; Wives and children, with fair, thoughtful faces, Waiting, watching For a well known footstep in the paa sage. —Longfellow. Chance Treasure. BY ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ. Author of "Tongue of Flame," Etc. (Copyright, 1001: by Dally Story Pub. Co.) One day Dr. Francis Hastings was in the wards of a New York hospital. It was part of his duty as one of the in ternes or bouse physicians to take an early run through the surgical wards. As ho passed from bed to bed some 9ne caught at his hand. It was a new patient, brought in the day before from an emergency hospital uptown. The doctor bent over him at the agonized clutch. Drops of agony stood upon the man's black brow. "Suffering, are you? I will give you a little relief,” he said kindly. The doctor had shapely white hands. The patient watched them as if pleased as he administered a hypodermic injec tion. "Are you a rich man?” he whispered hoarsely, "or a poor one?" Dr. Hastings shook his head and smiled bitterly.The question chimed in well with his thoughts. His term at the hospital would expire in exactly three weeks. Ho had chosen no spot In which to settle, and he was in love With the daughter of a wealthy man who had politely asked him the day before, to discontinue his visits. "I am as poor as you are,” he re torted after he had closed his syringe case. "Say, I wish you would look after me a little. I”ll make you rich whether I get well or not. Honest, l will.” The doctor smiled again. He was used to vagaries and delirium in pa- | tients. The man struggled up on his elbow. "You don’t believe that. Before God, if I had not this stab in me I would jhave been at sea this morning, going (after gold and a plenty of it.” , The doctor listened a moment In spite of himBelf. “I’ll make a bargain. I hain’t a liv ing soul to see after me. If you will, I’ll get the money and make you rich. If I die. I’ll tell you where it is. 1 want you to see that I’m buried out of (the potter’s field.” His eyes glittered. Half to pacify him the doctor promised. From that (time he had a master who assured him (that he would be his lifelong benefac tor. , His first order was about the old ttlothes that were on him when he was ^brought into the ward. Dr. Hastings (found them—a filthy bundle. "They’ve been sterilized,” he said to the nurse who frowned. "What’s that?” asked the patient grimly. Dr. Hastings explained. The man chuckled and when the nurse moved on he said: "Cooked my old clothes, did you? Didn’t know you was bilin’ up half a million?” He borrowed the doctor’s knife, ripped open the lining of the coat and took from it an oilskin pouch. "Throw ’em to the dogs, now,” he said with an oath. “That’s all 1 want “ t "You don’t believe that.” Here, you’re playing tair. Keep that, ^rill you. If I die, It’s yourn to get rich on.” • He did die suddenly the next night ~ .They aroused the doctor and he . reached "Dominant’s” bedside Just In time to receive a feeble hand pressure . er two, and the man was gone. It cost Dr. Hastings some authority and iK>me money to keep his promises. He buried the pauper in a cheap cemetery and stood a moment beside his grave . «s the clods were thrown In. Then he grent home to examine the oilskin pouch and to wonder at his own folly. It contained a bit or two of yellow paper; a map, apparently of the west toast of Florida, with one island of a group of three marked in red ink. It also contained a letter from one Jules Choral to Pierre Restleaux, telling of * (he wealth of Black Ciesar, a asgra pirate. This treasure was hurled on the Island marked red on the map. Dr. Hastings was a cool-headed young man, but his heart leaped. It the Improbable could come true, he might yet sapire to the hand of Flora McDonald. Only yesterday he had spoken to her for a few brief momenta. "We go to Florida next month," she said, "I wish I could see you there." Black Caesar's treasure came Into his mind. "Stranger things have happened," he made reply to her. Still he would not have been able to go had It not been for De Long Cutter. He met him after leaving Florida and heard that Cutter intended to go down the coaBt In his yacht for February and March. "I wish you would take me to St. Augustine," he said, with a sudden re solve. "I have a queer errand there.” He told Cutter of the marked island and of the treasure. Cutter’s rather insipid face brightened up. "Why, of course. I’m your man. You’re too good a fellow to be lost to our clubs anyhow. I wish you’d get your half million. Plenty of girls to marry." Dr. Hastings smiled meaningly. In early February the yacht was run* “See the scarlet buoy for danger.” nlng up and down the western coast of Florida, touching here and there at small islands.The hopelessness of his task soon dawned upon the doctor. The map seemed correct as to the coast contour, but there were three islands, either of which seemed to be the very one indicated by the red cross. Sev eral guests of the yacht who did not know the story clamored for the Tam pa Bay Hotel and its delights. "We'll run there and land them and come back," said Cutter on the fourth day. At the hotel Dr. Hastings found Flora McDonald with her mother. He had a long talk with her. He told her of the Quest, showed her the map and his dilemma. "It is my wild and foolish hope of winning you," he whispered. After a time she asked him if it could be arranged that a yachting party would go down the coast, she to be chaperoned by a young married woman who was a distant relative or the Cutters. “It may be nonsense," she said softly, “but we were all hypnotized last winter at her house, and 1 found a handkerchief that was bidden. They say 1 am a good subject." Cutter was called in and entered into the conspiracy to carry a few tried and true souls on the cruise. Mrs. Mc Donald was averse to Flora’s trip, but finally gave her consent. The third day out found them among the islands. Dr. Hastings was to hpno tlze Flora and suggest to her a search for the treasure. The rest of the party thought it but a huge joke and jest. They gathered in the cabin to witness the test. The young girl readily sunk into the hypnotic state under the doctor’s passes. "There Is treasure buried on one of these islands,” suggested the doctor, his voice trembling in spite of himself. "A black man, Borne black sailors, burled it. Can you find it?" In a little time, Flora said in a faint voice: “I see It It is buried deep. But you have made a mistake. You are not near it” This produced a visible excitement “His: island was one of tbree. Two are now submerged reefs. All vessels avoid them. See the scarlet buoy for danger! It floats in a line with the middle isle. 'Tls but a rock point.” “Where is it?” asked the doctor. “’To the northward. We passed It yesterday. The box is broken, the coin is scattered in the rock crevices. There have been shocks, earthquakes, what not? You will find it Yei, I see you with the broken box lid." The guests were disappointed at the girl’s restoration. “How real it was!” they exclaimed. ’Positively theatrical. One ■ would think there was actually burled treas ure about. What a wonderful power of suggestion you have, Dr. Hastings!” The yacht made a fast run to the hotel. The guests had a delightful trip. They would have been amazed on the next Sunday morning could they have seen two wet and grimy men working on a rocky islet a hundred miles away. They brought up old gold coins by the bucket-full and set steam straight for a port where they could bank gold coin safely. That night old McDonald received a telegram: “A cool four hundred thousand dol lars left me. Am still a suitor for Miss Flora McDonald. Address me at Tam pa Bay Hotel at once. ’“Francis Hastings.’ The aun is unselfish; it shines tor mil but stands in its own light LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Legal Notice.
