Not at all djscoucagt d, the wonian called again the next day, and wound up her conversation by saying that she knew where three hat crowns, full of. gold had been buried on his farm, and that If he won Id <3o as she directed, they could' re-' cover it; but that it was necessary to allay the. spirits 'that stood guard over it, that a large sum of money most be present with them, athe tincantatibn. . She thought five thousand ftf.llarc wriiiln herennired. hut was noL sure as to the amount; and she proposed, if.lie would j go into it, and furnish the money; that she. would give him two-thirds of the treasure, while she would reserve the other one-third as her share. . Up to tin's time, the farmer appears to hare had no confidence in the woman ; but as she took his hand, and traced the mysterious lines therein,.tellihg him tbo great tilings in store for him, he began to place some confidence in her, especially as she had told him some things that had occurred injiis life that he supposed had never been kriown. About this time be sold a large,lot of catOe, for which he received in cash about $4,000. The next day the wo man called again, and said that $3,000 was the amount required to be present to allay the spirits.. The farmer thep, produced the;jpackage of money received for ijic'cattie, and. the two sat, down to a table and counted out $3,000 in bank notes/excepting four'small gold coins. /The mdney was, jhen folded up, the woman all the time- making strange motionsand talking strange talk. The next day and day after the woman called again, each time counting the money as before, making the same sig'iiSj dec., but leaving , the . money with the farmer, wrapped up in the handkerchief. . At the next visit,, she required him to take a solemn oath that he was not to tell to a living i soul the object they were in pursuit of, that ) she wa9 going away, to he absent lor -a short time; be was not to look at the package of money at any lime excepting when , she was present; and.after making an earnest prayer, she took hold of him while she held the package of money in her hand, and swung hnn .around, so that they came together back to back. She thep gave him.back the handkerchief, as he supposed, all right* and told hiai that she would return on the 15ihj lGth or 17th of August, and then they would go in compa ny .and secure the Hidden treasure. On the 15th he hardly expected to. meet her, and was. not disappointed that she did not come. On the 16th he sat up latq-at flight, expecting her arrival. After waiting till penr midnight, on the 17th, he began to suspect all yvas not right, and he feared all this,might be a trap.to rob him... So' Hfrnnor did fhia snsnieion fasten on him. that he took np his gun; loaded it, and went out into the shrubbery surrounding the house, where he could see all yvho approached without being! seen, and remained there until 2 o'clock in the morning. But no pne came. As the time had elapsed that was set for his fair visitor, ho considered.himsolf absolved from his obligation, never doubting in the least but that his money was safely, deposited in the handkerchief /" j i Unroliiog it carefully, what was his dismay , at seeing, not a roll of bank bills and four pieces of gold, as he-had left it, but a package of brown paper and ifour-cents in Hue thereof. Even the handkerchief hitd bfeen changed; in-' stead of being his own, it was one precisely similar. One of the strangest things in all this Strange transaction !is,: that a counterfeit five dollar-bill that was placed in the package of money, was takeu out of it and returned in the ?nnnoi* " WAIU thic WOO /lnno 1Q 91 i Uil Ut Ul V \y U |<u^va? al" vr iui9 n?c mvi.v *?# ? toystery we>ocJioot 6oIve.
