Aunt Esther ouce lived In the old
house, and many were the Incidents of
Interest in her quiet life. There she
was born nnd lived all through her girl
hood and married life and only left It
for the little cemetery on the hillside.
She had no children, but wax dearly
loved by the young people, some of
whom were nearly always with her.
Aunt Esther was ever busy. When
her great loom In the chamber above,
where she wove cloth for home use and
for sale also, was silent, there were
many things to be done on the farm.
Aunt Esther knew just how and where
every rod of their possessions was situ
ated, and they covered an area of sev
eral miles. She knew every boundary
of their woodland. I have heard my
grandma relate bow she had gone for a
little walk with Aunt Esther just at
sunset, when she became so absorbed
In tracing some boundary line ns not to
return to the house till quite late in the
evening, grandma becoming, mean while
quite exhausted.
But It Is of the adventure of a night
In the old house when Aunt Esther Was
young that grandma has often told me.
Aunt Esther's parents were away, and
grandma spent the night with her, the
two girls being the only occupants of
the house. They retired early, sleeping
In the large spare room up stall's, Its
windows looking out over the sea. They
must have felt a little timid, for they
took the precaution of drawing a heavy
chest In front of the door. In those
days houses were never locked.
Grandma, always a light sleeper, was
aroused about midnight by the sound
of footsteps beneath her window. Aft
er a few minutes the outer door open
ed, and the girls, now fully awakened,
heard some oue enter and begin to look
about the house, opening doors and
finally coming with heavy tread up the
stairs.
I ean imagine that to have been a
trying moment for them; but. to their
relief, after coming about half way up,
the steps paused, and finally the person
went down. Soon, by the stillness,
grandma knew the person had left the
house. Then their courage returned,
and, rising, they quickly dressed and
seated themselves by the window.
It being a comparatively light night,
although there was not a star to be
seen, they saw a large ship riding at
anchor close in to the shore. While they
were wondering over this, for none but
small fishing vessels ever anchored
there and not a sail had been In sight
when they retired, their attention was
suddenly drawn to two men coming up
from the shore, where they could make
out the outlines of a small boat, with
shovels on their backs and bearing be
tween them a large box. This box was
apparently very heavy, as they stop
ped twice aud set it down for n mo
ment before reaching the woods, where
they disappeared from sight. It seemed
that they wanted to be sure of lue
house being unoccupied before they
ventured to bring their burden ashore.
After an hour bad passed the men
returned to the boat, having left the
box. With rapid strokes they soon left
the shore and reached the vessel’s side.
Then the sails were unfurled, aud ns
silently as she bad come the ship left
the little harbor.
Now that all was over the girls lay
down upon their beds and slept until
morning.
When Aunt Esther’s parents arrhed,
they listened with Interest to the story
of the night. Grandma’s father, then
an old man. said It was without doubt
a pirate ship, and In the strong b x
was stored some of their 111 gotten
gains.
Others had seen the ship. Some be
lated fishermen had Recti the boat as
she was rowed away from the shore.
Then began an eager quest to find
the box which it was believed the men
bad buried. Some thought it was a
notorious robber of that time, who was
far famed for his bold and daring
deeds, and that being closely threaten
ed with capture he had hidden tills
treasure away until such time as he"
should return for it. Parties were or
ganized and search made for the box.
but all without avail. Even many years
after men were known to dig In the
vain hope of finding the buried treas
ure.
One man whose mind was somewhat
unsettled dug a cave within the forest
and here lived a hermit life, searching
always for the hidden gold.
With what awe do the children even
now walk through this grove of trees!
As they listen to the story the woods
look very dark and gloomy, and they
seem to see the hard faced men dig
ging silently In the solemn night. They
Imagine all sorts of things the box
might have contained and talk of the
hermit, pointing out the place that was
his care, and the J* draw a breath of
relief when once they are out of the
woods Into the sunlight again.
In after years many a night did Aunt
Esther arise from her bed and gaze
out over the billows In vain hope of
again seeing the pirate ship. All her
