Through a very peculiar circumstance, the farm was sold and It Is said that Terry realised but very little from the sale. Bride Flees to Mother, A few years ago the farm came Into possession of the Mehl family. A year ISO Jay Mehl, one of the younger boys of the Mehl family, was married to a prominent young woman of the county and this stone bouse became their home. They have lived there ever since. Mehl does now, but his bride has fled to the home of her mother at least when It comes time to sleep. All went well until a few months ago' when strange sounds arose from tbe basement This worried the Mehl and they took particular pains to see that all doors and windows were securely fastened before retiring". The strange sounds, although faint, as if footsteps In the basement, caused the young couple many sleepless nights. "We will cement the bnsenient floor," young Mebl told his wife. This was done and It only made matters worse. "We will move our bed to the sec-- discovered In these ruins to prove that tliey belonged to a race of people of which there is now no connecting knowledge. That the remains of one of the deserted cities upon Lele must tit one time, have had a population of more than 200,000, is nppttrent. The ruins consist of wide and deep canals, great stone walls, massive stone buildings with a multitude of nanus, earthworks that consist of mounds and long parallel embankments. "So far as 1 could, learn no exploration of the mounds has been made. In the buildings, some beautiful specimens of pottery, unlike any found In prehistoric ruins In other pnrts of the world, have been brought to light. Just what other relics or Implements of the forgotten people have been discovered by the Japanese Investigators I do not know. "The deserted city with Its network of canals must have been a Venice In Its day. The ruins ran rbruptly Into the sea, and bow far they extended under water no one knows. The blocks of stone In the walls and buildings are of enormous size and to have raised them to their present positions must have required more than man power. Where the stone came from Is a mystery- - none of tbe kind Is found in the Islands. "It was to the Island of Lele that "Bully" Hayes, a notorious chief of the Paclflc, came In the early "80s and sought to set up a little empire of bis own. Hayes was a native of Cleveland, O., and his wild exploits in tbe waters of the antipodes andthe more northern seas, bordering Japan and China, made him a terror to peaceful and the natives of merchantmen beach towns on scores of Isolated Islands. "When Hayes landed with hl.i crew on Lele there were big prices put upon his head by the authorities, ranging all the way from Sydney to Shanghai. He had barely got his little Island going when a barque government from Honolulu put Into the harbor and Its skipper Informed Hayes that a British warship was on dts way to Lele to take him captive.

Donald Richardson, a traveler who has Just arrived here, tells a fascinating story of the search for the history of an ancient race by the Japanese In one of the Islands taken over from Germany by Japan In the World war. "On the Island of Lele, one of the Caroline group, wliere I spent several months," says Richardson, "a Japanese scientific expedition Is studying the marvelous ruins of an ancient race and civilization which covers hundreds of acres. These ruins are suld to far exceed In Interest and possible Importance those of any other part of the world.
