Myitcrloii' ) Trnmp'a Sudden Ulsc from Penury to Afllncncc How Ho Uncnrtlicil Hurled Treasure. About two and a half years stnco there arrived In Iho clly of San Luis Obispo , a stranger , whoso nppearanco indicated a severe and prolonged slrugglo with Iho fickle goddcsst says the San. Francisco Uxaminor. Out of a shock of matted hair peered two eyes of remarkable sharp ness , and a face of wonderful shrewdness formed a rare picture for the framework of tawny locks. His peculiar appearance and gutro costume created considerable comment among tho'o who observed liim , and many were Iho surnvos us to his previous condition ol serviludo and pros cut intentions. Ho remained in thr vicinity of Iho city for several days , nnd then took tip his residence at Avila , n small hamlet on the seashore , some nine miles Irom San Luis Oblsno. Wlille hero tlio major portion of his time was sponl in the examination of tlio old charts of the coast line from I'oint Conception northward. These docu ments wore kept hi n strong leathern pouch , which ho guarded with the ut most vigilance. One day ho appeared at a neighboring lumber yard and pur chased HUlliclenl malurial for ( Uo con- Mrnction of n small shift" . This , he in formed llio curious , was for the purpose of enabling him to engage in the occupa tion of a lishorman. Tim dinumitivo crafl was soon completed , but instead of embarking in his moposed avocation , ho spent the hours of daylight in exploring tlio small bays and indentations of llio coast. On being asked Iho motives for those explorations ho wis more than usually reticent. At length ho gratified the curi osity of his inqulsitord by intorming them tliat ho was in search of a conve nient spot suitable for the location of a fish-drying establishment. This expla nation was accepted by many , but the knowing ones regarded it as merely a sublorfugo. At length the regular disap pearance of the stranger in ono certain direction convinced the observant Ihat the desired location had al least been se lected. Ono morning ho unmoored his sklfT as usual and departed for the sccno of his labors. For sovcral days ho was not soon in any of his old haunts , and those who had watohoil his regular departure and return grow alarmed and determined to organize an expedition to inquire into his prolonged absence. Ono of the residents of Avilla , however , assorlcd Ihat ho had soon tlio slrangor beach his boat regu larly every evening several miles below llio accustomed landing plaoe. it was also assorted by this gentleman that the stranger , upon landing , nlways disap peared hi a neighboring canyon bearing upon his shoulders some apparently heavy substance concealed in a sack. This information , while it relieved the apprehension regarding the safety of the trump , aroused llio curiosity of many , who determined to at least pay a visit of inspection to the stranger's rendezvous. Preparations for the visit wore nearly completed when tlio object of their solic- Undo made his reappearance among them. After expressing his obligations lo the citizens ol Avilla for their uniform kindness lo him during his solourn among them , the stranger expressed his dctcrmi- nalion to desert those scenes , amid which he assured them ho had passed many pleasant hours. His boat he loft as r Rouvenir , and alter a courteous farowol disappeared over the range 1'rovious to his departure , however , lie had bought i small Spanish jackass , for llio purpose ho informed lliein , of departing from the country in a more genteel manner than he had entered it. On the day of his departure one of Iho residents at Avila was returning froir San Luis and encountered the quondan tramp loading his burro , which appeared to bo laden with some extremely heavy substance- . The information rekindled , the curiosity of the Avilanos and a party was organized for the purpose of cxplor ing the coast line and discovering , if poS' Bible , llio lale residence of llicir departed guest , They departed in a small boa * and were soon engaged in closely scru tinizing the inlets of llio coast. At Icngll : the attention of ono of the party was at traded by the appearance of numcrouf footprints In tlio sand near the base of ai inaccessible cliu" . Ho at once draw tin attention of his companions to his discov cry. and they determined lo disembark and follow up the clow. Upon nonrine the cliff a. . small circular opening was observed about throe foot from the ground. The footprints led di rectly to this opening and there were lout. From this it was , of course , ap parent that an entrance to the cavern if ono existed was necessary to a solution of the mystery. Accordingly , a messen ger was dispatched for the purpose of sncuring some method of illumination. Ho soon returned and the party entered the aperture. A short passage opened into n lofty cavern about eighty foot in diameter. Its Internal appearance wns ex tremely forbidding , and it was impossi ble to conceive fiow any human being could liavo selected it as a place of abode. The floor was composed ol sand and sea.- shells that had evidently boon recently disturbed. In ono corner of Iho oavern was discovered a cavity somu three feet in depth , apparently excavated but a short time buforo. Among the debris were discovered several Spanish conpor coins , none of which bore a dale Inter than 17SO. Near the cavity the frame work of a seaman'a chest in thn last stages of decay was found , ana there was also picked up the mildewed pages of n vessel's logbook. These discoveries , us may bo imagined , excited the most intense curloMty of thu explorers , In thu midst of an am- malod discussion regarding Iho solution of the mystery , ono of tin- party chanced toglanco upward at the overhanging wnilfl , and there , rudely sculptured in the basalt coiling , wuslha following. f Ires varns nl sut nqul. barnno S , Jose Octubre l 70 rlnoro T.y a logical deduction from the cir cumstances connected with the discovery of the inscription these portions erased by the notion of llio elements may bo supplin I as follows : C9rl ) > g tlirco paces to the south.

The surprise of the party was of course intensified by ihu discovery of Ihisiincrip- lion , for it lent color to Iho assumption Unit treasure had boini unoartltcncd by the supposed tramp and carried oil' muter lh-Ir ( very eyes. Further exploration dis closed nothing of moment , and lo this day the identity ot the discoverer of the buried treasure has not been revealed. Tlio possessor of the logbook , however , who is a resident of Oakland , has for 60D10 lime past been endeavoring to translate iln contents. But his unfamlll- arity with maritime Spanish and the badly preserved condition of the document has proved a severe trial. After severe and continuous study , however , Iho fol 1- 1I lowing pertinent facia have been evolved I : On Juno 1U , 17C9 , the brig San Jose , with materials for tlio establishment of Uio Altu California missions , under com i- mand of Jose do ( Salve/ , sot sail for the ii port of Lorotlo , Lower Califoniia , Besides i- sides Iho usual nrllolcs used for barter * ing uurposes with the aborigines the Vessel contained 10,000 Spanish doubloons and a large amount of silver.

New York Mail and Kxpress"What becomes of the people who nro reported as missing ? " and old detective was asked oy a Mail and Kxnrcss' ' reporter yester day at police headquarters. "Well , that Is a hard question to an swer. Some leave the country lo escape their families , and others are killed hi dives about the city. " ' " after several ? " "Do manv return years "Yes , 1 have known cases where people ple have been missing for twenty years , where their wives have married again , and they have returned to surprise , much more than delight , those who nl first mourned theirloss. . How some people disappear was explained to mo several years ago hi a case which never became public. A young man , who was study ing for tlio clergy , was standing ono night In front of Wallack's theatre , wait ing for the time when the performance should begin , when a young girl , shiver ing hi a Uiiu dross and a shawl , which scarcely covered her .shoulders , touched on the arm and begged him for God's sake to give her some money , as her mother was starving , and she had no means by which lo obtain food fet her. The gentleman lold the girl that it waa agaiust'u rule ho hud made ever to give money or. the street. The girl looked at him witli a pitiful expression , and begged him , if he did not believe her story , lo come to the house where she lived , which was not far awny , and SPO for himself it' tlio story slio hail told him of the starva tion and want of her family was not true. Touched by Iho girl's pathetic look Ihe young man decided lo follow hor. She look him around Iho corner of Thirteenth slreel , nearly to Avenue A , to a house with no blinds on the windows , witli shutters tumbling from their fastenings , and with a battered Ironl door- She look him up one flight of stairs lo a room which was utterly bare of furnituie , o.x- copl olio broken down bed , which stood in a corucr. On a mantelpiece sputtered a tallow cauillo , which only gave light enough to show the deep darkness of the corners. "Sho told him she would go into the next room and toll her mother lluil a kind stranger had come to see her. While she was going she asked him to sit on the bed , which was Iho only scat she had to offer. The young man horrilicd al such poverty , and never thinking of any evil results lo himself seated himself on the cdgo of Iho bod. Scarcely had ho doue so when two arms rnachcd out from un der it und sci/.od him by the legs. With all Ids force lie could not keep himself from being dragged under. He threw himself back and attempted to grasp the edge of the bed , but in the position in which ho was ho could do nothing. Slowly but surely ho fell himself dragged downwards by Iho powerful arms. As his hand slipped from one hold in the bed to Ihc other Ihcy happened lo touch the heavy walking fcliek which he carried. As a last resort lie seized Ihc cane , and with all his strength ho thrust it under tlio bed. The heavy iron fertile with which tlio end of Iho cane was loaded came in contact witli something soft. A horrible curse filled the room. With desperate energy the v > img man again and again thrust the caue into the dark ness under Iho lied. Slowly Ihe vice-like grip of Ihc hands which hold iiis legs re laxed. Ho made ono final and desperate oilbrlaiul found himself froc. He rushed down stairs and * from the house. When ho reached Uio corner lie tnougjit that , dishevelled as he was , it was _ impossible for him to go home. Seeing a policeman on the next block he went lo hiui and lold him the experience lie had had. The officer laughed at him and insinuated that he had heller go homo and lake nothing moro to drink. But when he found the young man was really in car- nest , lie called lor help and returned to the house which tlio young man pointed oul as the one in which ho had been as- saulted. When they knocked at Uio door il was opened by a man who had orery appearance of just having been awakened from a sound sleep. The young man in sisted on going up slairs , and followed by Hie police he rushed up and inlo Iho room which ho had laloly loft. In il there was nothing that he could recog nize or identify. A carpet covered the lloor _ , pictures were hanging on the walls , a piano stood in ouo corner , and every thing looked as If it had Dccn recently occupied by a woman of refined tastes. Tlio young man was astounded by the change and tried to explain tliat ho must have gotten into tlio wrong houso. The police returned to their original theory that the young man had been drinking and again advised him lo go homo. ' There is no question in my mind that if Ihc young man not boon successful in breaking away from llio grip of tlio man who held him from under the bed , un- other unknown body with nothing to identify it would have been found float ing in the river , and would have been buried in Potter's Hold unknown and un- cared for , while another one of the mys terious disappearances which so often thrill the Now York public , would had itn nine days' run of wonder and llion have been forgotten.1 "Did you ever hear anything more of ibis case ? " "Yes. Only a few days ago Ihe same young man who had lold moot his expo- riencu of four years ago mot moanti I asked him if ho had ever , while wander ing through the streets of Now York , soon anybody whom ho could recognize as the poor-clad girl who had led him into the house. Once , ho said , only a few weeks ago , while walking up Broad way ho had scon a girl beautifully drc&scd. und with every apmmnmco of wealth about her , and he thought tliat an imperceptible change came over her face. With her was a man , handsome , well dressed , but with a horribly searrod fore head. Deep grooves ran from the edge of his hat down into ono eye , which was evidently n glass one. The couple passed him , and with thorn passed thu last vestige ot an ineiuV.nl which nearly coat the young man his life ami the city ono of its ablest clergymen.
