In the southern part of Chester County, Pennsylvania, is money, too, but
just where nobody knows. A lonely, crabbed man, who died there in a
poor hut after the Revolution, owned that he had served the British as a
spy, but said that he had spent none of the gold that he had taken from
them. He was either too sorry for his deeds, or too mean to do so. He
had put it in a crock and buried it, and, on his death-bed, where he
made his statement, he asked that it might be exhumed and spent for some
good purpose. He was about to tell where it was when the death-rattle
choked his words.
