FAMOUS LONDON TREE
The Cause of Several Hard
Fought Legal Battles.
ITS SITE WORTH MILLIONS.
But the Lawyers Never Have Been
Able to Break Through the Phalanx
of Legal Enactments That Preserve
the Old Landmark In Cheapside.
There is a tree in Cheapside, Lon
don, that may be described as the
most expensive of its kind on earth.
If Ave dollar gold pieces tilled the entire
trunk and live dollar bills fluttered In
place of every one of the leaves it
would not buy the terra liriua it occu
pies, for the land on which it stands.
I he northwest corner of Wood street
mid Cheapside, is worth $4.r>00.000 an
acre. The tree has stood on the spot
for more than "00 years, while its site
has augmented in value to almost fab
ulous proportions.
There have been several hard fought
lawsuits over this plot of ground, the
light having been carried even to the
house of lords. Hut so far the lawyers
never have been able to break through
the phalanx of legal enactments which
preserve the tree. In the lirst place,
there is a law in ICnglaud which pro
hibits builders from putting up a
structure which shall keep out the
light from windows which bear the
mysterious words "ancient lights.
This tree In Cheapside literally is sur
rounded by a number of "ancient
lights" proprietors whose consent nev
er lias been obtained when It came
to cutting down the tree and putting
a modern structure on its site. For
the same reason the storekeeper who
rents the tiny two story structure on
the corner Just in front of the tree
never lias been able to put Ills build
tig up lieyond Its present height.
Some years ago one builder, who
thought himself more "cute" than the
?tliers. started to take the law into his
own hands and put tip a building,
thinking to "arrange" with the owners
.f the "ancient lights" afterward. Hut
lie was met with a perfect shower
if injunctions, proceedings, writs ami
Indictments, more than would have
covered .the tree In its full spring
bloom, aiul It Is said lie never has been
i bio to pay the thousands of dollars of
haw costs which his little experiment
i resulted In.
A few years ago some gardeners
were ordered to lop off certain limbs of
he tree which hung over Cheapside.
It was done really to save the life of
the tree and with the consent of the
parish clerk and churchwardens of St.
I'eter's, Cheapside. the ancient little
Norman church In Foster lane, nearby,
who guard this tree from the vandals'
?lutehes. When the men began to
work on the tree, however, it created
i big sensation In Cheapside. "They
sre chopping down our tree," went up
from a thousand angry throats In the
listrii t. Policemen were called, and
loubtloss there would have been an
ther shower of writs, injunctions and
proceedings had not the minister of
lie parish explained the real reason
for the lopping operations.
Another almost Impassable barrier
which protects the tree in its position
is the fact that It grows In sacred
' ground. There is a law In London that
10 building can be erected on sacred
.?round without special act of parlia
ment. and woe betide the unhappy
i man who dares to put up even a shan
ty within the sacred precincts of a
graveyard in England.
This particular corner of Cheapside
lias been Immortalized by Words
worth:
, ,\t the come: of Wood street when day
light appears
There's u thrush that sln^s aloud; It has
sung for three years.
This bird was wont to perch In the
now famous tree, anil it attracted the
I mention of Wordsworth, who used to
breakfast in a little ,sliop near by. As
far back as the year 1392? Just a huti
3 rod years before Mr. Columbus dls
' ovcre.l America? another tree stood
in this graveyard and is spoken of by
i uuaucer:
That whosoever ploynes It away.
Ho .slmll have Clirymla' cur?e for uye.
The tree Is therefore :i direct de
scendant of perhaps the ?>]?lost tree ou
record In Kuglaud. ami it may almost
be described as an Knglish Institution.
This particular portion of Clieapsidc
is back of the general postofllcc and
Is one of the finest pieces of real es
tate l:i the world. With the tremen
dous difficulties that stand in the way
, >f its being built over? the sanctity of
the land itself and the power of t lie
"ancient lights" statute? it is prob
able that this piece of ground will re
main "unimproved" for another cen
tury or two. In a recent interview the
manager of the real estate agents who
control nearly all the land in the dis
url't declared that "the old tree in
t'heapslde occupies a position which is
| likely never be built upon." There
would be a perfect howl of execration
; froui all sides if any one were to at
1 tempt to put up a modern building
there, for Wood street Itself Is so
narrow that the people on both sides
i>f the street have a right to
"ancient lights," and the builder
went In for Improving this property
would have to "square" so many peo
ple that he would never be able to get
nny profit out of the building.? New

j Saving a Fortune. I
[Copyright, 1908. by American Fros* Asso
ciation.]
When 1 wna at Cinnamon that enter
prising town was 120 uilles from any
railroad and a hard place to get away
from. It was a desirable place to
leave, since the population was com
|tosed of gamblers, cutthroats, dis
pensers of alcoholic drinks, miners
and storekeepers, mentioned In order
of importance. The only respectable
family In the place was that of George
Jones, who kept a general store, and
as he was the only man who never
sold anything on trust ail the money
gradually found its way Into his eof
fers. It was like washing gold. The
dirt was constantly shaken up among
the citizens, the metal sinking to the
bottom of Jones' pan.
Every one knew that Jones was
gathering a snug sum and that he
wished to lake It anil his children to
a respectable place. Every one was
\valtlng for hint to make the attempt,
relying ou the road agents when he
did so to relieve liiiu of the funds
while on the route and start theiu
again in circulation. Furthermore, the
road agents were waiting to carry out
this praiseworthy object.
One day a red Hag a pea re<l at Jones'
store, and It was anounccd that he
would sell the remnant of his stock at
auction. lie sold on sixty days' credit,
letting It bo known that when the
notes fell due and were collected he
proposed to leave Cinnamon with his
family and his fortune. There was
not a thousand dollars' worth of goods
left, and these Jones sold to anybody
who wanted anything ou hi- credit
plan. Everybody wanted g<?ds so
easily obtainable, and Jones In a few
hours exchanged the stuff for uotes.
While Jones was thus giving credit
for money ctedit was due Mrs. Jones
for being a very shrewd woman. A
week before the falling due of the
notes she issued Invitations for a
"suarry," to which evet v one In town,
including gamblers and road agents
was invited, to celebrate the departure
of the Jones family on the day after
the said uotes fell due. ller husband
generous man. made It known that if
any of the debtors found it lii' >nven
lent to pay up at maturity the matter
would be left open for a reasonable
time. These two propositions en
hanced the popularity of the Jones
family, and the cutthroats got their
horses and their guns ready to return
the family fortune to circulation.
I had clerked for Jones and was
ready to do anything in the world for
him. but he didn't tru-t me till the
last minute, though lie b ill me to be
ready on short notice to go somewhere
with him. I was not include I in Mr>
Jones' Invitations for her "suarry."
which surprised me. 1 had a room op
posite the Jones house, and the night
the party came off 1 walclted tin*
throng go In and knew by the gradu t'
ly Increasing sounds coming from wiih.
in that the guests were getting cheer
ful. By 11 o'clock most of them were
drunk, the worst element being laid
out on the floor where they had sunk
In their exut>emnee <f -pirii<. I
ciuld see through the window-- Jones
opening champagne, his wife serving
eatables and the children carrying the
luxuries to the guests. Then 1 saw
Jones himself, drunk as a lord, pledg
ing Ills guests, while his wife took up
the corkscrew, which he was no longer
able to wield.
1 had been told to remain In my
room ready for orders, and at midnight
I saw .loncs emerge from his house an<l
come across tin- street, and. walking
straight as an Infantry sergeant, he
headed for me. When he came under
my window he called to me softly. 1
went down. and. taking me through
the back door and the yard, he stopped
before a two horse team standing > i
the street beyond. Joucs told me i >
get In and take the rein-. 1 di ! -
and as we drove off he strapped a
brace of pistols around his waisl and
laid two more at my feet at the l*>t
torn of the wagon. On Ihc outskirts
of the town we stopp. d for a minute
at a house while Jones lifted Into the
buggy a box containing $80.(>00 in gold.
We had the best tea: of horses In
that region, and they did - <1 service.
Of course we didn't know whether we
had Iwen betrayed by some one who
had got wind of the trick, though
Jones had taken no one Into bis confi
dence. Anyway every now and then
we pulled In and listened for footfalls.
Considering what he had at stake.
Jones was pretty cool.
On the start I drove pretty fast, but
Jones concluded that we had lxiter
save the hors-s as much as j>osslble,
and I soon slowed down. We made
thirty miles without stopping except
for water and another ten lwfore giv
ing the horses a feed. Then we break
fasted ourselves and gave the team a
two hours' rest. And so we went on
by easier and easier stages till we
reached the railroad. Jones boards!
a train, and I drove leisurely back to
Cinnamon.
I found the town perfectly quiet, but
dcsiKMident. Jones had got away with
all the money there was In It. and the
prospect was not attractive. Nobody
asked me about where I had been, for
everybody knew. Mrs. Jones was the
only one Interested. She said that
none of the agents awoke l>efore 10
o'clock the day after the "suarry." and
It was not evident to them before noon
that they had been tricked. It was
then too late to make chase.
Ou the day the notes fell due? none
of them were paid- 1 drove Mrs. Jones
and her children to the railroad At
the station I found a letter from Jones
asking me to meet hltn at Frisco and
become his partner lti business.
