Near Asllborne, Derbyshire, England, the novel spectacle is note to be wit- nessed of practically the entire popula- lion of a village engtlged In a hunt for buried treasure. The village in ques- tion is Bradley, and for a lert.night or more --or since a highly interesting (iis- cc•ve'y was made in the neighborhood --the ordinary occupations and pastimes of the inhabitants have been almost completely neglected. All and sundry have been engaged in digging for the princely loot which supposedly is hid- den in the ruins of an ancient manor house. ')'his residence was known es Brad- ley Hall and it was for generations the home of the. famous I1nivelon and Mey dell families who were prominent 'n the days of Charles 1. and in the res- loralion period.

The St fry f !range acation 6 By Jean Riddell )LAMINATIONS are coming, Hal," suggested Arthur. "1 know 1t" replied Hal, "but I'm not worrying; I'll pass." Arthur looked dubious, "Not at this rate," he said. "Why not?" asked IIal, as he buried his face in the soft fur on Jack's back, the dog answering this caress by squirming around until be could. ]ick Hat's ear, "You're not studying hard enough," said Arthur. "No," said Hal, "I'm not studying hard, but I'm studying enough. I'll pass: don't look so worried about lt, old .Di'yasdust." "Do you know your Spanish for to- morrow?" persisted Arthur. "Not well," admitted Hal, "but I'll do." Still Arthur shook his head. The two boys were as unlike as two brothers could be. Hal was a jolly boy, who liked a bit of fun rather better than his studies, but who • aid not neglect the latter, either, Arthur thought of noth- ing but his studies, and because his brother did not study as much as he would like to have him, constantly wor- ried about the outcome of his examina- tions. Hal was hailed bysome boys from the street, and in two minutes had bounded out of the house and was down the street, :Jack close at his heels. "'What kept you in the heus0 so long?" asked Hal's most intimate friend, Bur- ton. • Listening to a sermon by Arthur; ex- aminations are coming, and he thinks I, won't pass." Neither w111 you," replied Burton, quite happily, for he didn't expect to pass himself, and it pleased him to think there might be others, Hal began to feel worried. Perhaps he wasn't going to pass, He suddenly refused to go any farther with his com- panions, ran home and sat right dowt. to his Spanish lesson. TICE CALL OF SPIRING • Arthur bad Watched Hal march off with his three friends into the glad, bright sunshine a -little enviously. He thought of all the hard lessons he had set himself to learn that beautiful spring afternoon, and he sighed. After all, he began to wonder whether It was worth white; surety, a little sunshine now and then wouldn't do hem any harm. This line of thinking finally, carried him out into the street slowly, and a little ashamed of himself for yielding to the call of the spring day. This fe0ting of shame prompted hhn to take the op- posite direction to that taken by 2101 and his friends, and he sauntered along, breathing in thebeautiful air and feel- ing glad that he had poked his nose out of hie books for e, little while, at any rate. It was to be a, very little while, he assured himself. But it wasn't, It's always that War when you make up your mind not to do a thing; the first thing you know, there you are doing it. In the meantime, I-Ial studied hard and found that he had made great progress by the time dinner was an- nounced. With the happy sensation of having thoroughly„ earned 111) dinner, I•La1 bounded downstairs, only to find kis mother in great 8lstress, Arthur could not be found anywhere. Hal 1mme01ately offered to hunt for him, and, meeting his father at the door as he went out, was told he was getting as fretful as Arthur. Surely no one would kidnap Arthur, Mr. Ketcham said, and lie was too staid to Min away. But somehow or other Hal shared hes mother's anxiety, and in great haste ran to first ono and then the Other of their boy companions,bit no 011e had seen Arthur, Hal came back at last to hie homy completely dlsoouragod, only to fine{ that Mr, IK,etcham, alarmed at his long absence, hadgenein search of Arthur, too, and Mrs, Ketcham Was having hysterics In the sitting room, The long nightpaseed somehow, morn- ing came and Arthur had not boon But yesterday ho met his doom, found.

Hal and his parents read and re- read this note in amazement. They bad not thought of questioning the Adventures of Fido the Winked OW, Fido is a spaniel, As any one may toll, But also, I am sad to say, A wicked dog as well.

He was a stranger to them, and ho had already passed on his way to school. They couldn't think what Arthur meant by sending such a strange message, and Without any explanation as to where he had spent the night. Mrs, Ketcham was firm In the belief that he had been kidnapped and that this was a trap of the kidnappers to catch Hal, tool Mr. Ketcham simply frowned, as men aiwayS do when they can't think what to think, and looked wise, But Hal said: "Let me go, mother. Somehow I feel It will be all right for me, and that the right thing for Arthur will be to do exactly '"1,at he asks me to do," And, after much pleading, Hal was finally allowed to do as directed M ,Arthur's note. Ri'der's lane was a lonely place, on the edge of the village, and few ve- hicles passed that way, for the "High road," though it had once been the main thoroughfare through that part of the country, had fallen Into dis- use because a macadamized road had been built about a mile nearer to the centre of things. There was no house nearer than ten good city blocks to the spot that Arthur had Indicated In his note, and I-Iai 41t that he was very brave to go to so lonely a spot, under such circumstances, even In tate broad cheerful sunlight of early May. And when he had reached the big willow by the stream the uncanny feeling increased, for pinned to the big tree was another note from Ar- thur •addressed to Hal, which simply said: "Do the same thing every day ' until I tell you to stop.—Arthur." But the note was the only sign of Arthur's presence, for you may be sure that Hal searched diligently 011 around, but he could find no- trace of his brother. FIe waited around for a while, but was afrala to stay long, as he felt that Arthur 'would not come to get the food until he lett, and so, taking the second note with hint, he went home. COMPLETELY MYSTIFIED Mr, Ketcham had not gone to busi- ness, having telephoned that he was de- tained at )tome, and, with his wife, anxiously awaited Hal's return, The description Hal gave of his ad- venture, together with the note, mysti- fied his parents still more, and they de• termined to consult Arthur's teacher, Mr, Peckham, who, they had always known, understood the studious lad bet- ter than they did, Mr, Peckham was puzzled, too, for a few minutes, but atter a while he be- gan to laugh. Mrs. Ketcham didn't like that, for she wee too worried to laugh herself, and didn't want any. thing but sympathy from any one else. "1 think I understand," said Mr, Pccl(ham soberly, for he saw how bad Mrs. Ketcham felt, "although I nm not sure: Arthur is a peculiar boy and (With capable of doing what I suspect him of. I cannot tell you exactly what I think just now, but I shall let you know inside of a couple of hours 1f What I think is true." And dismissing his close for the day, sir Peckham at once started for the place of the big oak and the little stream, A little before hes time was up Mr. Peckham rang the Ketcham bell, and when he saw Arthur's parents his eyes had such a twinkle in them that -they both felt reassured, even before he spoke, There Is absolutely no need to worry; Arthur is safe and sound, but hs has stw"1ied a little too hard at present, and be is tatting a vacation in his own way. I. have promised not to go Into 'partie- ulars With you, but I think. :you can trust me enough to simply follow his diteetions to Hal not to worry about him. I believe that you well see him in a Very few days." The Iietchants knew that Mr. Peck- ham was a very sensible man, and they promised simply to follow Arthur's di- rectiene and not try to and him. So day after day Hal trudged off to the big Oak by the little stream with a loaf of bread, some cake, a bottle of Milk and an urnbrellal This teat Item bothered Hal more than anything, What could Arthur want so many um- brellas for? And where were the faro-, ily going to find so many? By the fifth morning their stock of umbrellas wee almost exhausted. and Hat felt that 001) T Blowing the' Candle. pLACE a lighted candle en a table at the end of a room, Invite mile - one to stand in front Of it, then blindfold him, melee him tette three Steps backwards, turn round three times and then advance tbaee steps: and blow out the candle. 11' hn falls he must pay a forfeit, It Will be found that wary few are: able io euteeed, Blrn• plc though the test appears to be, "Brother, Ian Bobbed.,' Two players having seated themselves Ode by side their hrnde are then cov- ered with a oath or shawl, s<, that they are hlindfolded.

FOR years the Shetland pony has been popular with those who could afford to purchase one of these dlm!rullve animals, and in many wealthy households they have been in- stalled ns pets. There has now appeared what promises to be a serious rival to the Shetland pony, however, for of late ponies have been imported from.

And, in fact, on the sixth day It came to that pass that they had to buy more umbrellas in order to have one for the seventh morning. That n.rht it rained, poured, for hours, and the next morning Hal had to wade through a lot of mud to get to the willow Mee, but when he did reach 1t he found the ground all around the tree perfectly dry; not a drop, appar- ently had found its way to the ground, "What a lot of leaves there must be on that tree!" exclaimed Hal, and look- ed up, for the first time since he had come with his burdens to the tree, for in looking for his brother he had al- ways looked around, not up, AC first he oouldn't make out what was the matter with the tree' then he was obliged to admit that the round dark objects away up in the top branches, overlapping each other, were nothing but the umbrellas he had been faithfully bringing to the big oak each morning, carefully spread out to shield the tree from rain, THE LOST IS FOUND Hal laughed long and loud. It was the first time In his life he had ever heard of anybody putting umbrellas over a tree to keep it from gettingwet. Than a different thought struchem —was Arthur up In the tree? Sial woe an expert climber, and In abeet two facemlhu, tes he had gotten far enough to flee Arthur's feet hanging from a branch on which he sat, and the next minute 11e was looking into Arthur's "Good morning," said Arthur, calm- ly, but a little regretfully, "you found me sooner than 1 thought You Would," "Gael" cried Hai, "Have you been up hero all this time?" "Yee." "Flow did you get up here?" "Chased up." "Who .chased you '.up?" "Doge" Hal'seyes grew rounder and rounder. "Why didn't you Come down again?'' "Didn't want to." Arthur spread himself comfortably along the limbs of a tree. "You know I never climbed much, and at first I didn't know how to get down, and then when I found out how, I didn't want. to. I did finally get all the way down to the ground, but I kept remembering how leafy and cool it was, up here so something drew me right 1,qp again; and then when I felt tired I -found these two branches grew together just like.. a natural hammock, and 1 stretched my- selt out and went to sleep. I never slept so well at home in 5.11 my .life, so I decided to stay here for a while, for I haven't slept very well lately," Hal remembered then what Mr, Peckham had. said about Arthur: studying too hard, and he answered very gently. Well, It 1s all right up here, and I Wish I could have stayed with you." "Why not," cried Arthur, "why not now? Suet go -down and bring the milk and bread up and We'll have breakfast." Ftal scrambled down and up again,. and tiie two brothers were soon eat- ing like a couple of little savages, "This 15 what grown-ups call get- ting back to nature,'" rugggested Hal.
