THE TREASURE One stormy day during the Christ- mas vacation Jack Richmond and his chum, Bob Tilden, Who was visiting him, decided to satisfy their curiosity in regard to the contents of the remain- ing two, unexplored trunks in the attic. The family had left for the day and the boys had the house, one of the oldest in Washington, to themselves. Sever- al days before they had been in the at- tic and explored all but two of the large assortment of barrels, boxes and trunks it contained. The attic was very large and con- tained many other things but the boys had eyes for nothing but two dusty, cow-hide trunks in the farthest and darkest corner. These they pulled out into the light and as neither was locked they raised the lid of the smaller, al- most with bated breath, to iind-noth- ing! Greatly disappointed they turn- ed to the other and although it proved harder to open, as the catch was stuck, it contents were soon revealed. It con- tained a great variety of clothing of the early nineteenth century and the boys hurriedly ransacked it, for, to tell the truth, they were hunting for something to shed some light on the hiding place of the hoard of Jack 7s. great grandfath- er. This money, according to family ,tradition, was supposed to have been .hidden when old Randolph Richmond had gone to war in 1812 to keep it from the invading British soldiers. But no writing could they find and at last they started to replace the clothing, but as they were shaking an old coat before laying it away they heard a rustling of paper, and upon investigating found a folded paper sealed with red wax. On the outside was inscribed: TO ANY OF MY DESOENDANTS WHO FIND THIS, OR TO BE GIV- EN TO THEM BY ANY OTHER FINDER Signed: RANDOLPH RICHMOND Therefore Jack felt that he was privileged to open it and carefully breaking the seal, saw at a glance that it contained several lines of writing in an old-fashioned hand. They read it together. 'A fool and his money are soon part- ed, this is one of the proverbs in this country. Although the seller lived up in the north he was in height five or five and one-half feet. The one from the west was said to own two or maybe three yards of moose. This making four-thousand moose, per pound, in gold, at the sum of 342,000 Another owned a large silver mine which con- tained about 10,000 feet of ore. The jewels were the fourth man's Ran- dolph, although he was a rich-manf As this seemed senseless to the boys they immediately decided it was in code and throwing the rest of the clothes back in the trunk, slammed the lid, and rushed down stairs to puzzle it out. After the failure of many high hopes, Bob suggested, 'fWliy not try every fifth word? f'It's the last hope be- cause we've tried everything else, Jack replied. In a few minutes he yelled, I've got it. And read the following: 'Money is in cellar, north tive feet, west two yards, four thousand gold,
