THE Young English Woman Going to the South Seas To Seek Buried Treasure From South America comes the an- nouncement that Miss Jane Sands, a young Englishwoman whose father is connected with the British diplomatic service, is about to sail from San Jose, Costa Rica, to search for the elusive treasures made memorable by Robert Louls Stevenson in his in- triguing "Treasure Island." "Treasure Island" is Cocos Island. It lies about 500 miles due west of Costa Rica. There is good reason to believe there is $15,000,000 in gold, bullion and jewels buried in this di- minutive tract of land five miles square. Miss Sands will head her own ex- pedition--she will be captain of a crew of picked sailors. She proposes to stay on the island until she finds the gold, Miss Sands is sure she will be sue- cessful---she has a "map," which "will show her just where the gold was buried." And that is the fascinating secret of Cocos Island--the maps, on an- clent parchment paper, each one quite plainly fully a hundred years old, and yet all differing from each { other despite the circumstantial evi- | dence which seems to prove each the | genuine! Mies Sands has reason to believe | she has the map made by Capt. Mor- | gan in 1820, when he and his crew buried the state treasure of Peru on this island to protect it from revo- lutionists, i Unguestiohably there is abundant Pirate gold buried in the soil of Co- Gos. The evidence is indisputable. A hundred and two years ago Lima, richest city of South America, of which the port was Callao, found itself threatened by the invading army of Chile. The Government offi- clals and the people became afraid. They wese overtaken by panie, for the peril had been unforeseen. Steps were taken to save the riches. The Viceroy called his Cab- inet into session and after lengthy discussion the bravest captain of the little Peruvian navy was called. the seas of all the earth. time he was in the hire of the Gov- ernment of Peru. Capt. Morgan was told to take the best ship of the fieet, load upon it the treasures of the cities, take as Passengers the beautiful wives and daughters of wealthy and distinguish- ed gentlemen, and put out to sea and safety. But the fates took his affairs in making an approach!to it Capt. Mor- gan saw that it was an island. - Then a thought came to him: 'He would hide the treasure in the island and return to Callao. After all danger there had passed he would return to the island and recover the treasure. He put into a small port. The next morning the captain sent members of his crew out to explore the land. They found it undergrown and bushy with plant life, but uninhabited by animals or human beings. Capt. Morgan sought on his map for the little dot that would bear the island's name, and he found it, "Cocos Island." The next day Capt. Morgan put his crew to work burying the treasure, and he placed in charge of 'the assignment the most trusted of his officers, an Englishman whose name was Willlam Thompson. The captain mapped the island and the spots After the job had been done--three | hundred sacks of money and orna- | ments buried in three different caches | =the crew returned to the ship. Thompson, however, had plans of his own. The first night out he LL lected a band of rufians, the trouble makers among the members of the crew, and persuaded them to join him in mutiny, to murder the rest of the officers and those of the crew who would not take part in the mutiny and to return for the treasure -- in short, to become pirates and to fly the black flag. After battening the hatches and effectually locking the crew in, the mutinous band carried out their plans, Thompson himself driving his knife into the heart of the sleeping Capt. Morgan. He took the map -- careful chart made on the fly-leaf 3 the ship's Bible. Later there was another quarrel among the muti- neers, most of whom were killed, and the chart disappeared.

(Mrs. Busy Ant Learns Something From Mrs. Spider. Busy Ant finished cleaning away the crumbs from her late dinner, {put on her tiny brown bonnet und {hurried up the plant stem to whare Mrs. Gray Spider stretched her web- by home. 'Good morning, friend neighbor," said Mrs. Gray Spider. "What a love ly day it is, to be sure." 'Indeed it is lovely after the ter- rible storm," laughed Mrs. Busy Ant, "1 suppose you're not so very fond of storms like that, are you?" "She's not the only one,' chimed in a third voice, and the old man of the meadow sailed to the bush and settled near Mrs. Gray Spider and Mrs. Busy Ant. "But I shouldn't complain, I've nothing on that will spoil, so when I see the clouds gath- jering I hunt a good shelter and stay there until the storm is over." "Good Morning, Friend Neighbor:" "By the way," Mrs. Busy Ant in- quired, turning to Mrs. Gray Spider. "Did it do any damage to your place?" Then she saw the loosened threads of silk, Mrs. Gray Spider was trying to fasten back in place. "Oh, very seldom do any damage to my place. Of course, sometimes the water runs down inside my house, and the things in the storeroom get damp, but, pshaw, that's nothing: All we do 1s to wait until the sun shines, and then drag all the thengs out and give them a 'good airing. But I think if I were in your shocs I'd dle every time I saw a cloud in the sky. Why, if I remember right, the last storm we had tore down your place . My, I'd never have the heart to rebuild it the way yon do!" "What else can I do?" laughed Mrs. Spider. "I've got to live." dear, what a shame! Well, storms |. "Of course, you do!" chirped Mr, Grasshopper, the old man of the meadow. "But why in the world don't you build up under the roof of some porch, or under the board on a fence, or some place where you'd be sheltered?" \ "I have tried living under things, but it never seemed te me to be th» 'proper thing to-do." repled Mrs. | Gray Spider. "You see, it's this way {with me. I'm not a hard-hearted cre- lature like some folks thing I am. Why, I'd never think of catching and {devouring flies and insects if I could {make my living any other way. But, G placed in needs. the appetite. grocer today, . you see, I can't. So I do the next best thing. "I build my webby house right out in the open so any one passing by cannot help but gee it," she explain- d. "Then if a passer-by walks right in with his eyes open I just consider it my good luck. What if a storm does come along? It brings a crowd of flies that are too excited to ses where they're going, and I have a cupboard full . in no time. I don't really hee how I could afford to com- plain, even if it tore my whole webby | house down."

"And ft wouldn't hurt me if I'd put it inte practice myself. I don't mean build ing web houses, I mean being more patient. But goodness, I'd forgotten I had an errand to do!" And away he hopped across the meadow. Mrs. Busy Ant excused herself and descended to her little home. She knew now why Mrs. Gray Spider had never eaten any of her children, and instead of complaining of the storm and the work It gave her, Mrs. Busy Ant went to work, and soon had all the things from the storeroom spread out on. the grass to dry. If Mrs. Spider didn't complain neither would Mrs. Busy Ant. Trophies For County : J. A. Stewart, M.P., has donated a handsome cup as first prise in the Lanark County Baseball League. Messrs, H.
