But its origin could no longer be kept a secret. The Spanish Government, having denounced' the Queen's goldsmith as a smuggler, a bandit, jured royal servant, made im-' mediate demands on the French Government to return the treas- ure, declaring it to be part of the "inalienable regalia of Spain." This was nonsense. The crowns had never formed part of the Spanish regalia, and all that the Spanish government's demand dic was to make the French Government withhold payment from Navarro. Then France was involved in a war with Austria -- and the matter was shelved for more important ' national matters. 4 .

He had read all that he could discover concerning the some exciting conclusions con- cerning it. "He reasoned that whoever had 'saved the gold from the Moors -- probably on the very night on which they plundered the city of Toledo -- must have had a great deal more to hide than Saying nothing to anyone, De la Cruz searched secretly in the neighbourhood of the fountain. Then one day he presented himself at the Castle of Aran- 1 Juez -- {wenty-five miles from Toledo -- where Queen Isabella was -stayiyame His manner was so insistent - that the Queen's _| spokesman, Don Antonio Flores, consented to see him. De La Cruz came straight to the point. Suppose that he were lucky enough to find any more Visigothic "treasure, would Don Antonio guarantee him a pen- sion for life? "Of course," the other an- swered. "A moment, then, Your Ex- cellency," said De la Cruz, He went out of the room, and re- turned with a treasure almost as splendid as that lost to Spain by Navarro's greed. After a painstaking search De la Cruz found it in an old cémetery. And he was reward- ed for his trouble and astuteness by a handsome pension, paid regularly until the day of his death.

Suddenly the fin vanished un- derwater. © Behind the 'pretty nineteen-yehr-old girl spread a wake of foam as she kicked and struck out to reach the, heseh still 300 yards distant. At this "moment when she hovered between life and death she saw a human head streaking through the water towards her, "Keep swimming!" a. man's voice called. Then she saw him dive. : Twenty yards farther on she stopped swimming and looked back, but she couldn't see the man-who had come to assist her. Her heart froze, The shark was nowhere in sight either. A moment later, as she trod water, Stella saw a flurry of blood-streaked foam as the shark and man rose momentarily to the surface, the man stabbing away at the shark as he clung to one of its flippers. "Get away from here, you fool!" he screamed at her above the roar of the waves. She hesi- tated, then swam reluctantly back to the beach. Fifteen min- aites later, exhausted, he strug- gled up on the sandy beach. Carl received a medal for his heroism in saving the girl, but his best prize he received five months later when, in a small church in Durban, Natal, where the rescue took place, Carl and Stella were married. , It is a-fact that love has been the sequel to many dramatic sea rescues. Two years" ago, while sunning himself on a Cornish beach, a Yorkshireman, Tom Shelton, saw a big wave sweep two children from the water's ' edge where they had been play- ing. Although he couldn't swim a stroke, the Yorkshireman grab- bed a child's inflated rubber tube and dashed into the water, hug- ging the tube in his left arm as he struck out with his right to reach the bobbing little heads off-shore. By mow the alarm had been given. But when powerful swim- mers reached the children, they found that Tom Shelton was holding both with one arm, heads well above the water, On the beach---their poured out her profuse thanks --to Tom. 'Bach at his Jonely bachelor quarters in Doncaster, 'Tom found that he couldn't get the attractive young widow oul of his mind. He wrole a stiffly for- mal etter asking whether he might come to visit her a! her home in Cheshire, and received a warm letter of welcome. Ten months later they faced a min- ister 'together and became man and wife. . One of the most remarkable rescues qf the past year or two occurred in the China Sea last November when Terry O'Hall- oran; ten-year-old son of a Wis- consin manufacturer, slipped be- tween -the rails of the freighter Taiping and fell into the shark- infested sea through which the - ship was steaming at twelve knots. The elder O'Halloran, who wit- nessed the apparent (ragedy, shouted for help, but even.as he was screaming a 26-year-old Scottish stewardess, the only one in the ship, grabbed a lifebelt and jumped down into the frothing wake. . O'Halloran saw the woman, hanging on to the lifebelt, be- gin to swim towards the child,. now more than 200 yards behind the ship, then the child sank and, out of his mind with hor- ror and grief, the man sat down and buried his face in his hands. 1 The ship's engines stopped and minutes later a motor-pow- ered lifeboat. was lowered. but the woman and child were far behind now, in a sea wheré no one can survive for more than a few minutes because of the man-eating sharks. O'Halloran refused to go with the boat. He did not want to witness the recovery of his son's body: instead he went to cabin and lav down with his eves closed. Two hours later a steward knocked at the door. "Your son and Miss Mackie are in the doctor's surgery, sir" he said. For a moment the impact of the information did not pene- trate the man's sorrow-blunted mind, then he leapt up. threw the steward aside and rushed to the ship's hospital where he found his son and the stewar- dezs being treated' for shock. In June of this year Kathleen Mackie arrived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to spend a three- mopth holiday with the widow- ed O'Halloran and Terry. But she won't be leaving again; for Terry's fdther told reporters that every boy should. have a mother and where could he find a better mother than a girl who placed her own life in jeopardy in order to take a milllon-to-one chance on being able to save one of her small charges? widowed mother 1 his | "Drive With Care | Oldest Love-Letter Written On Brick Standing in the witness-box in a Frein¢h police court the other day, a still beautiful, middle- deserted' her, said sadly: should have known that he would not make a good husband, for he never wrote me- a"love- letter.
