HIDDEN GOLD
FIND BY WORKMEN OLD HOUSE IN PARIS From Paris eomos a true story which roads like fiction. An old house in the Rue Mouffetanl is being demolished. Some days ago tho demolition gang came upon gold and silver pieces to the amount of £l-1.000. liiey found also a will showing that the money was part of the fortune of Louis Xivclle, equerry to Louis XV., bequeathed by him to his daughter. More recently as one of the walls was being broken up three small sacks were disclosed containing coins v. orth £1000; and elsewhere, hidden by Blaster, a second will in the same terms as the first came to light. It has been ascertained that before his death Xivclle told his daughter of the treasure he had left her. A confidant of the family was to reveal the hiding place. When the daughter en 1110 of age and wished to claim her inheritance the Revolution had broken out and the confidant had disappeared. The bouse in the Hue Moufletard was not inhabited by the family and had. it seems, been rented with tho specia object of concealing tho legacy.
