FORTUNE IN A GRAVE
LONG SEARCH FOR THE FORTUNE
LEFT BY JACQUES DUPONT.
The Tale of a Young Girl Buried In the
Woods of Maine and Her Body Covered
With Gold and Gcuis—How .Jerry Harper
Got One of the Diamonds.
Everybody who has worked in the Maino
logging camps has heard the story of
Jacques Dupont and the great bag of glit¬
tering diamonds which he hid away in his
daughter’s grave somewhere along the
headwaters of the Aroostook river. Though
few people of the present generation take
much stock in the narrative, at least ono
diamond of the hoard lias been found
within 20 years. It was taken to a Boston
jeweler, who offered $500 for the gem, but
Jerry Harper, the man who found it, sus
pected the stone was worth more and car¬
ried it until he had taken a few more
glasses of liquor, and then left it in a Tre
mont street barroom as security for drinks.
When he called later to recover his prop¬
erty, the bartender had gone and taken tho
diamond with him.
According to ail accounts—and they
agree remarkably well—Jacques Dupont
was a gem merchant of Paris who went
to Quebec about 1750 to sell diamonds and
other precious stones to the French army
officers of tho garrison. Ho sold a largo
number of diamonds, taking his pay in
gold and beaver skins, which wore just as
good. Later his daughter Lucy came
across, bringing more gems and a beauti¬
ful face, which latter set all tho officers
half wild with admiration.
After the fall of Quobec Dupont took his
daughter and his diamonds and struck
south through the wilderness, hoping to
reach tho Acadian settlements at Grand
Falls and dispose of tho balance of his
stock. Though the woods were full of
painted and warlike Indians at tho time
they wore all friendly to the French, so
tho party traveled the whole way under an
oscort of admiring savages.
All went well until they reached Ed
mundston, where Mile. Lucy was taken
with smallpox. Thereupon every redskin
turned upon tho old man and his daugh¬
ter, drove them out of the settlement, forc¬
ing them into the unexplored woods along
Aroostook river. Six months later Dupont
came out to Grand Falls alone, saying that
Lucy had died from exposure and that he
had buried her in a stone tomb near a wa¬
terfall and had covered her body with gold
coins, diamonds and beaver skins. Soon
after this he returned to France, where lie
died.
By this time the Maine woods were full
of logging camps, which were occupied by
men of all nations. Among theso the tal -
spread rapidly. Men with money ctvugl
the crazo for Dupont’s wealth and sol
well equipped parties to all portions <
northern Maine. Still no diamonds \v
found until Jerry Harper came here fro
New Brunswick.
If Harper’s story can bo credited,
found the diamonds by accident in tho l
of 1885. Ho met a man in Houltou v
hired hinj to go into tho woods, telling 1
to bo at the old log bridge in Masardis
4 o’clock in the afternoon four days late
Instead of finding a whole crow, as lie hiu.
expected, nobody but Harper’s employe
showed up. Ho looked Harper over, mo
tionod for him to fall in behind and start
ed off at a brisk walk for tho woods. The
man paid no attention to logging roads or
natural paths, but went due northwest by
compass for two.days, making no stop ex¬
cept to oat and sleep. Near tho close o£
the third day ho ordered Harper to stop
and put up a lean to camp, as they hud
reached the end of the journey.
Long after supper the strange man light¬
ed a dark lantern, and producing a long
rope told Harper to follow him. They
walked a mile or more and came to a high
ledgy hill, which they ascended. On top
of tlio hill was a round knob of lodge about
four rods In diameter. Though the ledge
was of limestone the capstone was clay
slate, indicating that it had been brought
thither at a later date. Tho man cut a
stout thorn beam stick and used it to pry
up this stone, while Harper chinked it in
place by smaller stones. When it was hail
way up, the two men took hold of it with
their hands and stood it on edge. Tho re¬
moval of tho stone revealed a seam in the
ledge 10 feet long and 4 to 6 feet wide.
Tho strange man then turned to Ilurpcr
and said:
“Tie this line about you and take the
lantern and I’ll lower you down.”
Tho holo proved to be not more than
four feet deep, so that no lino was needed,
which led Harper to believe that his com¬
panion bad nover seen the place beforo.
“Now,” said tho man, “pick up all the
bright pieces of glass and stono which you
and them out to " J
seo pass me.
Harpet turned the light of the lantern
on to tho bottom of the cave and saw that
it was covered with bones, among which
were piles of great gems which almost
made him blind. He had picked up one
stone and was rising to hand it to the
man above when the fiat cover of slate
rock fell down, hitting him on tho head
and rendering him senseless. Ho was
aroused by a blast of cold air in his face.
Looking up ho saw three men standing at
the edge of the hole waving torches abovo
him. Believing them to be his late com
panion and two other employees who had
come later, Harper staggered to his feet,
bold out the diamond and said:
“Hero’sNRio of them, and there are a lot
more among the boned*” the
Instead of taking the proffered gem,
men began to yell with terror and started
off through the woods, running for their
lives. Harper, who still believed them to
be friends, gave chase, following them un¬
til nearly daylight, when he fell down < x
hausted. He passed a week in searching
tho woods, but failed to find the open tomb
or any of the men. Then he concluded
that another party hud come while he was
down in the tomb, and, having killed his
employer, the men were about to descend
for the spoils when they saw him and
heard him speak, and, mistaking him for
a ghost, left the treasure without seeing a
Single diamond.
In the summer of 1889, as Harper was
conducting a big party up the Little Aroo¬
stook river, a canoe was overturned near
Aroostook falls, and Harper and two com
panions were drowned. Since then scores
of vovuges have been made after the buried
wealth, which is still undiscoverable. —

EWorld wasn’t made in a day—a day.
The meadow there, whore you love to sit.
Why, the Lord took time to carpet itl

Cheer up, honey!
You’ll get there yet!”
And still to me in the fields and dolls
Her sweet voice l ings like a chime of bells,
And 1 dream brave dreams as 1 hear her say:

Cheer up, honey!
You’ll get there yet!”

“HOODOOS” PROVED LUCKY.
An Actor Wlio Tested the "Signs"’ and
Made Money.
William Favershnm is credited with tho
following story by the Boston Herald:
“Oh, I know very well that what was
good luck to the Romans in many eases
was bad luck to tho Greeks, but even that
did not alter the state of feeling which I
wish to describe. No man is so truly void
-of logical reasoning as to think that seoing
tho new moon over one’s shoulder or tho
other, or stubbing tho toe of one foot rath¬
er than that of its neighbor, or going un¬
der a ladder or a thousand other ‘signs
and portents’ really can affect a man's
life, even for an hour or a day, but tliis is
positively true, that a sign coming our
way does affect one’s spirit and makes ono
light hearted or tho reverse for tho time be¬
ing, and thereby wo aro more or less im¬
pressed.
“I recall a caso where all signs failed as
in ‘dry weather.’ It was a friend of mine
in San Francisco, a brother, and ho did
run the gamut of bad luck omens. We
will suppose it to bo a Monday night when
ho wont home, having lust close on to $5,
000 to a turn in tho market, lie went up
stairs ns straight as could be, but in going
down again to get a pitcher of water he
stumbled. Now to stumble up stairs is
good luck. Down stairs is bad luck. He
muttered something not quite lit for polito
ears, with an execration against tho luck.
That evening he’d seen the now moon over
his loft shoulder and he had not a coin in
his pocket.
“ ‘By Jove,’ ho said, ‘I’ll try it tomor¬
row and seo what will happen. ’
“By ‘it’ ho meant signs or omens. JVell,
on arising ho got out of bed tho wrong
foot foremost, ho put on ono stocking and
ono shoo before he put on the other stock¬
ing, when he got out on tho street ho
went under every ladder he could iind, and
so on. Every bad luck sign he could test he
did. Then at about noon ho went and
borrowed money.
“Now, they do say that it is tho worst
luck in tho world to speculate on entirely
borrowed money. You must have a few
dollars of your own in the pile you invest.
“Well, what was tho result? Ho made
$27,000 in ono day, that day which he
marked witli so many ‘back stones’ of bad
luck onions and daring of proverbial tra¬
dition.
“Of course ho has bragged about that
thing ever since, hooting at any ono who
dares suggest a bad or good luck sign.
And yet there is ono thing ho will not do”
—here Mr. Fnversham had a qulot laugli
to himself while liis listeners waited—“he
will never pick up a chair he has over¬
turned.”
Tho raconteur paused hero and relit his
cigar. Of course some one asked why tho
breaker of all traditions would, not pick
up an overturned .chair, and Mr. Favor
sham chuckled as he answered: “Beeauso
it is bad luck to overturn a chair, and tho
only way to frustrate the ill omen, to put
out tho evil eye, so to speak, is to havo
somo ono else put the chair upon its proper
footing. So, you see, even my friend is
not pachydermatous to superstition.”
Becky Sharp.
After all when the novels aro rend and
tho costumes duly admired or condemned
do we not conclude that the true secret in
making use of costume as an end in fic¬
tion lies in following u plan not unlike
the conduct of Miss Sharp regarding tho
laces and brocades which slio purloined
during the housecleaning time from the
closets in the house of Sir Pitt? Wo ull
remember how she kept them well out of
sight until she desired a costume de cour
of “the most elegant and brilliant descrip¬
tion,” so effective ns to compel Lady Jane
to own sorrowfully to herself that she was
quite inferior in taste to Mrs. Becky, down qnd
Mrs. Bute Crawley and her daughter
in the country to give vent to their honest
indignation at tho airs of the “sandy
haired, green eyed French ropo dancer’s
daughter. ”
Tho mistake of the light fiction writers
in regard to costume is in not keeping
clothes in tho background until the mo¬
ment when only clothes can produce tho
desired effect. They make a heroine so
fine for breakfast that nothing remains
for a costume de cour.—Eva A. Madden
in Lippincott’s.
A Century Ago.
Glasgow is now within less than ono
minute of London—that is to say, a com¬
munication can be sent there by telegram
In that space of time. In tho last century
it was scarcely within a fortnight of it.
It is a positive fact that when the post
arrived there a hundred years ago the fir¬
ing of a gun announced its coming in.
The members of the clubs who heard it
tumbled out of bed and rushed down to
the clubrooms to get the latest news.
Generally on these occasions a tankard
of hot herb ale, or a beverage which was a
mixture of rum and sugar, was ready for
them, over which they discussed the mail.

The motive of action often lifts the ac
tion out of the slough of sin or off the
plane of innocence to the higher planes of
I virtue and religion.

It is ?asv to tell by setting aside your uriio

There is satisfaction in knowing that the
