A STORY OF BUSIED TREASURE t Before the occupation of Udts by ' the British it wis the richest country In ' (old, precious stones, ran Jewels, fine doth, and cutlery of sny on earth. While the poor were tnlser»Hy poor, the " rich were immensely rich. Tnte was so ' even to the breaking out of the pent ' mutiny. When the British troops were * Islrly In Ban to strika-et the rebellion, ' the watchword waa.jj" Revenge snd loot : " It was undeisLod til throngh * the service that whatever s soldier sould r lay hands on should become his plunderTliey did n't fight nny the wone for Ibnl | hut they struck a doable blow st the In- ' 1 discs. *1 hey crippled them financially | ts well as In a military tenae, and the * beoplc have never recovered, snd never csn. The nmonnt of loot when out of ' Indis daring the rebellion snd directly * sfterwsrd hss been estimated st $300,000,000. As much more was conlribn- ' ted to the rebel cause by those who could give. Twice or three times ts much was lost by fire snd sword. Eng. * land renaonsd that an Impoverished people could not rebel, snd loot was a part of her war policy. Ten years after the 8 mutiny 1 was talking with Maharajah in ' the district of Punjab about the financial change in the condition of the people, 1 and he said : p)o buried or hid away at least a huu- c drod million dollars. 1 do not believe 0 1 that the tenth part of this great sum has * It were dead before the close of the war, *' and this vast treasure Is lost to us." * I did not tell him I had put In a year * 1 India, and spent upward of $2,000 ; for some of the treasure- Such was the fact, however. A couple of ' ■ Englishmen and myself, forming on sc. quaintance In Bombay an l having a spirit of adventure, pooled our cash and followed up aevcrel pointers looking to ' ' buried treasure. We had thus 1st tailed '• to make any discoveries, snd our partnership had been dissolved and the men r had returned to Bombay. 1 was In the 1 Peojab on business connected with an D American bouse, and had given up the ' treasure In disgust. The words of the Maharahjah recalled all rny enthusiasm, 1 however, and within an hour after 1 had ' left him I was determined to have one ° I more pull for fortune, and to go it clone. * Tills determination was hastened and I solidified by another Incident. I was " talking with a captain of n native tnfan- * try regiment regarding some ruins I had encountered and he said : h " You may have left adoten fortunes ' behind you. At'lhc outbseak of the war these people concealed a great deal of their wealth in cavee and temples, and s big share of it is there yet. When you " stumble on a big pile of ruins again give * the place a good looking over for loot." " But tbc natives may have done that 1 a hundred limes over, I should Ray." "You are wrong. When they knew of treasure they may have unearthed it, but they tight shy of rambling about * haphazard. They believe aDjjjlaa-t© be ° haunted, and even If they are not you r will be certain to find hyenas and terp "Have you ever heard o! any treasure ^ being recovered 1 " I asked, " Half a dosen instances, sir. The * former Captain of this company went home with XW.OOCTiflcr doing two hoars' work In the ruins of a temple c near Bhaulpul." The next day I started for Delhi, and c B there a big fortune awaited me. I fell 1 in with a German naturalist who was " making a collection for a national museum, aad when he learned that I had ' bad ~rrlil-rahia experience in tsu line he engaged me as assistant- He had two * young men with 1dm, thus making a party at four, and when we struck to • the southwest of Delhi, Intending lo * take in the plains tad Jungles between ^ that city and lodhpur, we had six native servants to carry the baggage. Our * progress was alow and easy, as It was " his Intention to make a very full colleo- p Hon. The country ovor which we pea- , sed had do lines of railway then, snd ' was unknown to while men except ts ( they had tan ted throngh it. There were B > tigers and other -wild game In plenty, t , and it teemed to be the nuraery of all India for act-poets. There were days f when we oouid not march except at the J ground was beaten by Ibe natives In our . front. These wee a thin population, with the villages far apart' but as an offset the satires were glad lo randar any (| old, especially as soon as they learned ( we did sot belong to the ruling raoe. , The bale they felt for the Kngllah was , something terrible. This district bad e been almost depopulated and qmte impoverished by the war. Petty rulers bad been deposed, Uses levied with t heavy hand, and the natives worked up to the highest pitch of indignation at they talked about it. My object was buried treasure, While t doing my duty by the Professor I had h , opportunity for extensive rambles off . the line of march, and I never failed to - make Inquiries or Ike natives. This, as l I afterward learned, was the wont poL ^ oy I could have adopted. Every ruin b was sacred to them, and every white .. man was a defller. One might as well have aakod them to forgive caste at to have expected them to locate the ruins ? of a religious temple for a while mas. > st this time were la a permanent camp \ in a grove of mlngu trees ou the bank of t creek, when a ryot or common laborer, passed through our camp on his way to * bla village, about five miles away.

I >lso had a revolver and i knife, and It was not more than an hour I after sunrire when I set out. I followed i the creek down to where it branched, i and there I struck the path which the t native had described. " At near ta I could determine it had ' been made by wild animals coming and i going between the Jungle and the creek, and st the flrat soft spot 1 found the im- i prints of a tiger's paws. Tbey were i bis being at borne. Aa 1 proceeded, the path wound about in the moat eccentric manner, while the jun2!e-gtew thicket One could not see fire feet in any djmction, and the air was shut off. ' ' The flret hint that I had reached the ; rulos came in the shape of a block of ' dressed stone lying right serosa my path. As I stepped upon it a great cobra wirg. I gled slowly away from my feet, and 1 1 half a dosen columns and lengtha of 1 wall arising among tbc bushes. Fifteen before here had been a clearing of perhaps a hundred acres, with a village of several thousand people and a temple covering half an acre of ground. A mandating tiger now held sole posses. the treat temple in ruins'! Ten feet ( the right and then ran over a fallen well. 1 As 1 reached this litter |dtee snd looked | *» Kas|dng, and. though I wis greatly ( hid met his fute. lie had dmibtleas 1 at the creek. It was well for me that i ' did not come a few minutes earlier. 1 examined the -body closely, ana found the tiger to be old and mangry. with 1 of his teeth decayed. These were ' •ore evidences that be was a "solitary." 1 and had no male. I need, therefore, no fear that any other animal more 1 than a hyena was concealed in ' thenear vicinity. ^ ^ blown up with gun powder.

To look for burled treasure was like looking ' for a needle In a bayatack ; but I had 1 come for that purpose, and fell that 1 ' must make a beginning, Flinging several atonos Into the bushes to frighten '■ lurking serpents away, I put down ' gun and began at the crecpera. In a little wbtio I nncovered what I said ' an alter or shrine. It may not have - boat. From the stono floor there was a 1 solid wall, about four feet high, enclosing t space about nix feet square. The stone which rested on these four walls was a foot thick, and carved around the ' edges. I oouid not tell whether the wall enclosed a space or the wEole cube waa solid as a support for a pillar, but after 1 close inspection I discovered a spot where the end of a lever might bo Inacrt- ' ed. I had brought a hatchet to help me through the Jungle. With this I cut and ' trimmed a small tree, and after much efI loosened the capstone until 1 could ' tea that the walls enclosed a space. On ' the surface of this capstone I clearly : made out the foot of a pillar, which bad ' probe bly helped to snpport the roof, and ! rested. It lay near by, but was broken ; 111 till. It was not more than 8 o'clock in the 1 morning when I reached the ruins, but waa two o'clock In the afternoon be.
