By EDNA D BARTOW The three heirs at law wer rouped about the table in the li A J i 1 1 1 # il ill rary. At tne neaa or tnc tamf eated in the favorite chair of th ite William LaDe, was his lawyei rho looked sharply over his spec acles at the girl and the two me: pd then glanced down at a docu lent in his hand. "You all know," he began graveh that your late uncle was a man o cccntric habits. He wa3 fond o ravel, especially in the remot uarters of the globe. His depar ares and his homecomings wer tartingly unexpected, and when h 'as at home he occupied this resi ence with his only niece, Mis ?ane"?he bowed toward the blac] owned girl and resumed?"as hi ompanion and his devoted and dis iterested nephews as constant vis ;ors. JL U U 1 UIIl'lC O lliai U/il/ f habit may explain in a measur lie strange disposition he haa mad ? his property. I will now proceei 5 read the will." Stripped of legal forms am hraaes and omitting the preamble be document was as follows: "I hereby give and bequeath al f my property, real and persona] hich is represented by various se unties, a list of which is attach* ereto, solely and absolutely to th ne of the following named person ho discovers the hiding place o hese securities. These document re buned in the island of Born* 1 a spot situated ten miles in i ortheasterly direction from th >wn Dakar, in the province of Sar wak. I recommend that my neph ws, Allen Lane and Burton Lane nd my niece, Cynthia Lane, begii lis search immediately after m; eath, and to the one of the thre ho discovers this hiding place ive and bequeath all of the proper j of which I may die possessed." "Here are a few general direc loTifl that mav assist von in diseov ring the securities," said Mr. Phi] ps blandly as he gave to each on slip of typewritten paper. "Well," said Allen Lane, movinj jward the door and followed close 7 by his brother, "it is evident tha rncle William intended that w hould invest a large sum of mone; 1 order to acquire possession of hi srtune, but in my opinion it wil e worth the expenditure. I hav 0 doubt that surveyors can locat lie spot, and the sooner the ventur 1 made the quicker we will achiev jsults." "Is it your intention to go t torneo at once ?" inquired the law er. "Yea, as soon as I can arrang ly affairs. I hope my brother wil 0 with me." "Oh, I shall do that?never fear, iterpolated Burton hastily. "I would suggest, gentlemen, tha our cousin, Miss Cynthia, be lef 1 charge of the residence until th state is settled. The small incom hat will suffice to support her dui lg your absence would take th lace of money paid to a caretakei he is quite penniless, as you know nd depended entirely upon the gen rosity of your uncle." "Very well," they agreed rathe rudgingly. Cynthia Lane turned to the law er with a puzzled look on her fai ace. "I cannot understand/' sh aid reflectively, "how Uncle Wi] am could expect me to enter th ontest, for he knew that I did no ave the means to go to Borneo." "In spite of your poverty, l^is lynthia, I firmly believe that yo1 'ill be the one to discover the Lan lillions," encouraged Mr. Phillip* rith an enigmatic smile. "Use you its! Use your wits!" ."But uncle said he never ha' een in Boneo, and so I canno ?e"? "Use your wits!" snapped th iwyer as he bowed himself away. ... ^ t i l. _ After tiiat Uyntrua aia use ne its, but apparently to no definit urpose, and so the long year drag ed to its close. Then one da) ighteen months after the confer uce in the library, the lawyer ap eared, accompanied by the Lan rothers. Both Allen and Burton were 6Ui risingly changed. They wer ronzed by exposure to tropical 6un ad winds, and the free open air lif ad evidently restored them to a ful leasure of the health they lacked >r they stood before Cynthia wit! talwart, straight figures and clea jras, yet there was a dogged grim ess in their expressions that d? oted failure in their undertaking. When the greetings were over and ' they were seated about the library ! table Cynthia asked quietly, "What [ luck, cousins?" v; "None," replied Burton bitterly. ' j "As far as I can learn at this late 1 dav TTnele William had never been in Borneo." ^ 'Tor my part I cannot understand why he should send us on a wild goose chase. Under the circumstances a compromise must be made or I shall contest the will/' protested Allen. e "You signed an agreement," reL marked the lawyer calmly. "If the money is not found by the first of e the year, when the two years have . expired, why, the entire sum goes to create scholarships in the Conservan tory of Music. h Cynthia arose and, her face turning from white to red, said 6lowly, r "No one has asked what success I f have had." f "You! What do you mean?" inc quired Allen Lane in manifest - alarm. o "T mean " said Cvnthia. "that I e have dug for and discovered the - treasure buried under the island of s Borneo." k Mr. Phillips rubbed his hands exs citedlv, and his kind eyes twinkled >- merrily. "Now, now, my dear Miss i- Cynthia, this is a surprise! Pray, tell us about it." jr Cynthia, still standing, rested her e slender finger tips on the table and e spoke: "After your departure, cous3 ins, I naturally thought much of the matter. The result of this was that 3 I concluded that my uncle would s, never have included me among the contestants for his money if he had 1 not intended I should have an equal I, chance with yourselves. Wealth I !- had not. Means were not offered to 3 pay ray expenses to Borneo, so in e the seclusion of the library here I s followed you, my cousins, around * " - n l- ii. :.l J "D i me wona 10 me imauu ui uumcv. 8 She drew the huge globe of the 0 world toward her as she spoke and a whirled it slowly around. e "I traced your course from Singa pore to Kuching and thence to Da kar. Then by studying the 6cale f of miles on the map and making a proper deductions I believed I could y put my pencil on the very point in e the island where you were to dig 1 for the treasure. Cynthia paused, quite pale now, while the brothers stared at her - with strained eyes. Mr. Phillips - wore his perpetual smile. "Then," she continued, "I pressed e the point of my pencil firmly into the globe on the exact spot, saying ? to myself in my foolish play as - treasure seeker, T will dig here/ t when to my amazement this happene ed." As she spoke the words she F Dressed her pencil point firmly upon. s the globe, and the great ball drop 1 ped in hinged halves before them, e In the aluminum cavities thus exe posed were stuffed many documents e tightly wedged together, e The brothers leaped to their feet. Allen turned passionately to the 0 lawyer. "You knew this all the - time I" he shouted. "Give me the papers/' said Mr. 0 Phillips calmly, and when Cynthia 1 had complied with the request he sorted them deftly and threw an en*' velope across the table to Allen. "Head that aloud," he commanded t brusquely. t Allen Lane read in his very harsh e accents: ? "Dear Nephews?I trust that by this time is ended the long journey e combined with hard work, which, my lads, is the greatest treasure in '> the world. If you had listened to l" the maunderings of your poor old uncle you would have remembered T ii -i. ~~ /11+/VM vnii fhnf 4 lie uaa h.-[iimh;ui> iviu jv* the island of Borneo is the only country in the world he had never r visited. To the one who had the e patience to listen to an old man and who proves it by his recollection of e the above facts I have given my for't tune. Which one of you three have remembered the dull tales of your ,s tedious old uncle? I'll wager it is a my quiet little Cynthia." e The brothers looked sheepishly at b each other and then at Cynthia, r who was weeping softly. As by one accord their harsh faces softened ^ and they stretched their hands t across the table toward her, while the little lawyer smiled beneficente ly over all. ' r A Curious Windstorm. e A peculiar freak of weather is the storm called the "williwau." This r? form of storm is confined to that faroff island Tierra del Fuego. The coast is indented with deep fiords e crowned with high mountains. Down from their gorges drops the williwau. A low, hoarse muttering e is heard in the distance. Suddenly, 8 without the least preliminary puff, e a fearful blast of wind drops upon '1 the sea. The water is not raised into waves, but driven into fine k dust. Fortunately the shock lasts r but ten or twelve seconds, and cala * follows at once, for no vessel could h stand such a wind for even half a pMnnfr*. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmrnmrnm Will you wet down yi r ^ ^ -a SOME farmers are still, payir cottonseed hulls because tJ Others are paying, much le ' AOf MAI RUCK W COTTONS V HUL LINTLE4 and are making them as bull wetting them down a half hou By adding an equal part of wa stirring thoroughly they will sw a roughage as you want.
