oaisly cstiraind at from $0,000,000
to tliwfl,000,000. They were not par -
sued, and yet time flint thought an.
pears to have been to hide the loot;,.
They made straight for the well-
known watering island of Cocos,
and there, in aa, cave in the side of
one of the steep cliffs that rise black
and steep above the water, they hid
their treasure.
Just why Ben the Good, hid the
treasure, and why* he did not re-
turn to get it, history fails to stags.
A few years later he was captured
in the `West Indies and hanged. One.
of his crew, an Englishman, kept
the record of magnetic bearings
and landmarks that indioates.''where
the treasure ivas hidden, and this;
handed' down through three genera-
tions, is the only clue to Bonito's
cave. _,„
Women Stall Determined.
Mr. Mills said that there had
been several slides of earth and
rack along the cliff to which the
bearings point, and that if the save
and its treasure were over there
(he is skeptical just now) it would
take as vast amount' of excavation
to reveal • theta. The labor involved
was too .great for the resources of
his company, so the search was
abandoned.

Luo Emperor of Geranany d
sire sausages .for his Suaaudaan eve
frig rneaala he cat buy them tl
aniglnt before, just like any ennunon
citizen, on., else go without. The.
laws regulating; sale and delivery
al 'goods in Germany, on Sunday
apply to the ruler in the sane de-
gree as to his meanest aubjeeb,
This is the decision of a Prussian
court in the ease of a sausage deal-
er who appealed: from aaa Tune of
$01.25 for violating the. a nday ob-
servanes 'laws. Oho Sunday iii mnf-
ing* shortly before 10 o'clock, the
hour, at which all shops in Berlin
must be closed, the Emperor's pri-
vote -cook telephoned from the new
palace a.1 Potsdam an order for
sausages for the Imperial table.
The dealer loaded the desired wares
on his delivery wagon and started
it for the railroad station. On the
way thither the delivery anon was
stopped by a policeman, who en-
quired why he was violating the
law. The representation that the
Emperor was waiting for the saus-
ages had no effect on the policeman,
and the result. was the fine for the
merchant.
On appeal the merchant set forth
that his aotiori came -under the sav-
ing clause of the Sunday ordi-
nances, which provides that Sun-
day orders may- be filled where
"their immediate carrying out is
demanded by the public interest."
The order of the Emperor's cook,
he said, was such a case. The court
`rejected the appeal, saying:
"It is of no consequence that the
Emperor was the customer. .The
Emperor has no special standing d.n
private trade. It is the business of
14s private cook to send in his ;Sun-
day orders in time, just .as . any.
housewife must do."
