with n perfect effrontery. It would have
been a strong likeness indeed, which
would havo convicted him against the
absolute Rang frold of the denial with
which ho whs ready. Aa It chanced, he
was not called upon for tho denial at

Another line, and who from time to time
looked nt him curiously. Hut If the stew

In his mind at all, ho must have dismiss
ed tho fancy Instantly, for tho Mr. Jeth
roo ho had known was i power In tho
Btnte, and a man reputedly made of
money, and why on earth should a mill
ionaire have disguised himself and gono
tinder nn alias?
Tho voyage passed without adventure.
The landing was as uneventful; the jour
ney up country passed without recogni
tion or Incident which calls for narration.
But nt last the two nrrlved at a station
with great hills rising on the far horizon,
snd they passed tho night at n woathor
bonrd shanty of n hotel with a roof of
eorrugatcd zinc, on which a rain shower
played a thundering concerto as they lay
bed. Before they slept Jethroe had been
ebrond bargain making, and in the morn
ing there were two wiry saddle horstw
fit tho door, and a baggage cart laden
With nil tnnnner of bags and boxes, with
four upstanding mules hnrnessed to It. A
lialf-brcod had charge of the cart, and
tho small cavalcade Btarted In the cool of
tho day.
Nobody in tho Hlcepy township seemed
to bare noted either their coming or
f:olng. Thoeo who had Ijcon npproachod
n tho way of business had done their
little bit of trade and had thought no
more about It. Ah to the business of the
travelers, whence thoy enme and whither
tliey were bound, there was no more in
terest in them than if they had been a
tpnir of house flics. They came, they
Went out Into tho desert unregarded
Thero were a hundred places to which
they might have been going, and the
people who made up the township did
ftot caro whether they were going to them
all, or driving out to dio In tho wilder
ness.
This absolute indifference suited Jeth
roo to admiration. Nothing could haw
initcd his purpose better, and ho mount

Out of earshot. I shouldn't bo in thu

Very mules was Little William in dis

two or three hundred yards, nnd Harvey
followed his lead.
"Now," said Jethroe, turning on htm
with n glittering cyo, "I can tell you.

mond?' says Wiley. 'But I do, rather,'
syn Kaster. 'Well,' says Wiley, 'I'll
have u spell up country and coino back
and buy out tho Rothschilds. I know
whom there's thousands of 'em.' Kaster
argued that It was easy to mistake a
diamond that Is, for an ignoramus like
Wiley, who knew nothing in tho world
and cared for nothing In tho world but
big gamo shooting but Wiley stuck to
it. Ho knew tho bed of u dried-tip river
up country which was strewn thick with
'em. He'd picked 'cm up, handled 'em
and never dreamed that they had nny
xpcclnl value. Not a bit like diamonds
In a jeweler's window. It was likely
enough that Wiley thought they woro dug
up already cut and polished.
Well, Kaster took his quo big stono
to Europe. It was polished in Amster
dam. It sold for twelve thousand pounds.
'Pl.ni nln.m ,.t t.lll.t T." ...... I.
couldn't Rtand It. lie went on one un
bounded bender of a sprco nnd died be
fore he hnd spent n quarter of the money.
Hut Wiley, meantime, wont up country,
not believing much, so far as I can make
out, in the diamond idea, but quite per
suaded, nil the Bame, that if Kaster's
stono wns a diamond, ho could pick 'cm
up like pebbles on a- beach. He wns
away this time about a yenr nnd n hnlf,
and when he got down to the const again
he hnd been very badly mauled. He had
got Into close quartern with a lion, and
ho was fairly spoiled for life.
"I can't tell you half the story, but
tho natives had got fond of him tor
some reason or another, and they nursed
him and they pulled him round in a
measure, nnd they got him down to the
coast again. The boast had spared his
vitals, but he had no use of either log
or of his left nrm. I never saw the
man, but I know those who knew him
well, and they have told mo ho had to bo
carried about, and dressed and undressed
and put to bed nnd taken out again like
n baby.
"Wiley had plenty of money, and
could havo gone home nnd finished his
career; but Brazil had got into the soul
of him. 1 shall die here. Ilarvoy; I shall
have to be in reach of the mountains
when my tlmo comes. Wiley stuck on,
nnd he wns very queer, lie used to Hugh
when he talked about It; but ho told his
tale about tho river bed full of diamond
to anybody who cared to hear it, and the
majority of people thought that on this
particular point his wits woro turned.
"Well, now, old Zelkar comes upon
the scene. Zelkar, as I told you, was
a Hungarian Jew. He had been in trou
ble with Kossuth ages ngo, and he had
been In trouble with Mazzini. and he had
been in half the prisons of tho Continent
for hatching treason of one sort or an
other, and nt last, by some strange
chance, he drifted out to Brazil, and so
on until ho lighted on Wiley. I knew
Zelkar in ltis into days, as I shall toll
you when I come to my own share in
tho story. Outside his politics he had
only one interest In tho world; it was
the royal game of chess. I do believe
that you might have lit a slow fire under
old Zelkar when once he hnd fairly set
tled down to a gamo ho got so nston
Ishingly absorbed. Wiley turned out n
sort of protector for him, nnd n local
carpenter, who was clever at the lathe,
turned 'em out a set of chessmen and a
board; for there was nothing of thnt sort
to bo bought nearer than Ulo Janeiro,
and the two played together every day.
It catno out that Zelkar s great passion
was the mnklng of chesa problems, nnd
Wiley set him to work nt It. All the
problems you hnve seen nnd worked nt
were mnde by Zelkar. but the old man
was kept In Ignorance of the purpose he
wns working for. All he knew was that
his patron Would say to him: I want you
to Invent mo a problem In which the
black king shall be forced to such and
such a square.' Zelkar thought this a
mcro caprice, nnd slnco Wiley nlwnys
gave him n gold coin when he hnd tested
nnd npproved the problem. It served bis
turn no well that he would havo asked
for nothing better all his life.
"Ho was working two or threo prob
lems n week It wns no sort of tnsk for
him, for ho hnd n perfect genius for tho
work and all on a sudden lie mnde the
discovery that he was working on n plan.
Ho found one day In Wiley's room be
tween the title page and the binding of
n big Bible a sheet of cartridge paper
markcd out for n chess board, and o'ich
of its squares marked with a letter. The
whole nlphnbot was used up twice, and
ns far again ns wns needed to cover ev
ery square on the board. He had In his
pocketbook tho roughly penciled notes of
his problems, and it occurred to him to
go over them. He found that the letters
on tho successive squares on which tho
black king stood in the problems as they
camo In order Bpelled out words in rea
sonable sequence. Ho took a note of the
board, for the letters were distributed all
nbout It at hnphnzard. And so It came
to pass, as they used to say in old times,
that when nil tho problems were mnde
Hint Wiley wanted, old Zelknr hnd got
tho wholo Inscription. Wiley, I ought to
tell you, professed to hnvo brought a
score of the finest stones nway with
him, but ho lost them when he got maul
ed by tho Hon. The natives who rescued
him and took care of him hnd no Iden of
their value, and left them bohlud.
CHAPTER XX.
"Wiley, aa I told you, hnd talked about
his discovery to anybody and ovcrybody,
but ho hnd never given a ghost of n hint
ns to where It lay. Nobody could hav
guessed within five hnndrcd miles, even
if anybody had taken tbe trouble. Moat
people took tt for a craxt, but eld Zblkar
I
believed It, nud lie mailt) all me prui
lein drawings I have about me now, ami
tho plan of tho board with Ita letterings,
and he used to go nbout offering to
guide people if they would only find
tho money for the expedition mid go
halves with him. He couldn't find a soul
to heltovo in him or his diamonds, nnd
when It ennie to Wiley's knowledge that
the old Hebrew hnd uttered to betray tho
treasure, he swore he'd shoot him nt
sight. That kept Zelkar out of Wiley's
way, bh you may very well imagine, and,
with his only patron gone, tho problem
worker wns bo hard up that he was with
out food for days together.
"This Is where I come In. In thoso
days -it's fifteon years ngo now 1 be-'
Iongc I to n syndicate which had arrang
ed to prospect for g ld. It wns a meas
ly sort of an affair, and it never camo
to much. It was called the Ezekiel Com
pany, because nn old Jew of that iinmo
had been Its founder. There were a doz
en of us nltogethcr. nnd n bigger set of
cut-throats than you could havo found
among us was never seen in the world.
Tho whole crowd of us wero down at a
place called Anipslo together when I met
Zelkar, and henrd the story of tho treas
ure the river-bed full of diamonds. I
laughed nt It, ns everybody else had
laughed, nnd I chaffed old Zelkar about
It until I found that he was literally dy
ing of starvation. I fed him up, of
course, nnd wo nil went up-country for
a week to look nt n place we'd heard of.
It turned out good for nothing, and wo
came back. Zelknr was on the hard pnn
once more. Ho offered me his problems
on parchment, saying nothing, of course,
about their meaning. I didn't wnnt 'em,
but finally, out of pity for the old chap,
I bought 'cm. The whole gang of the
syndicato was thero at tho time.
"Tho old boy used to hang nbout after
this and hint nnd hint nbout i-ome mys
terious value that attached to his prob
lems until I was sick of him. But ono
day, when ho was bothering me. it oc
curred to me to say: 'Look hero, old
chap, I know nil nbout It; you've sold me
Diamond river.' It was the strangest
thing that over happened In my life. It
wasn't even drawing a bow at n venture.
What I Bald hadn't nny real meaning to
myself. It was a more piece of silly
banter. But I had no sooner spoken
than Zolkar let out a cry, nnd came
Btralght for mo with a face as pale as
nshes. 'How do you know?' says be. nil
trembling nnd shaking and staring. You
never saw n fellow in such n stnte n
ho wns. I looked nt him very straight,
and I said, 'Well. Zelkar, I didn't know
anything, but you've given me something
to think nbout.' He went away without
a word, but lie sent me one or two of
the queerest looks I ever saw, and sev
eral of tho rulllans of the syndicate who
happened to be thero nt the time wero
quite fixed in their own minds thnt thero
was a good deal In It.
"The next thing I knew was that
Wiley was dead, and it wns said that ho
had put his problems and his plan Into
tho hands of a young Englishman, a dis
tant relative of his, and had explained
everything to him. The youngster went
up-country, but tho native tribes were
nt war among themselves, and the expedi
tion camo to grief. Problems and plan
wero lost In tho wilderness. The lad
was shot, but he mnnnged to send down
some kind of mutilated message. He
had actually found Diamond river. There
was no mistake about that. Perhaps it
was through his fever, or he may have
written in hnsto and llurry, but though
his one professed purpose In writing was
to tell tho whereabouts of the find, ho
gave no intelligence of it nt nil. And so
the thing died out of reir-embrance for
years and years. I thought that Zelkar
must bo dead for n certainty, for tho
legend of n dried up watercourse full of
diamonds as big as pigeon's eggs was
common property, nnd he would hnvo
been able to find nny number of men to
back hhn. Thero were lots of men, too,
who knew how Wiley hnd meant to lock
up his secret in tiie chess problem.
"It turned out that Zelkar was nllvo
after nil, but he wns ns helpless ns if ho
hnd never hnd n inkling of the secret. Ho
had never had an inkling of the secret. He
in which he had kept n record of his
problems, but the theft wns useless, be
cause the thief hnd fulled to secure tho
key. Whon I lighted on Zelknr two
years ngo he wns n wreck, senile, ragged,
homeless. He was still maundering nbout
his river of diamonds, aud would get a
drink from n new chum sometimes by
allowing his key to ft puzzle which every
body supposed to bo undecipherable until
the day of judgment, ne did not know
mo when wo met, but he Jumped at tho
chanco of selling his worthless bit of
parchment for a ten dollar note. I didn't
net unfairly by him, for I bought him
an annuity, which he didn't enjoy long,

"What should you do if lost in tho
woods?" Young foresters taking tho
civil service examinations for govern
ment service used to find this question
a favorite, says the Boston Tran
script. Lator, most of them havo had
more than cue ocension to put their
answers to a practical test" Ono ol
tho commonest experiences of pcoplo
who go to tho woods Is to stray uwny
from the trails nnd familiar land
marks and lose their bearings. Every
yenr brings its quota of stories of lost
men nnd women, of search parries
organized, of days spent in fruitless
quest, and perhaps of tho finding of
tho lost ones In wretched condition,
ragged, starved, sometimes temporar
ily insane from the fright and hard
ships. Such experiences as these ure
usually duo to panic. They seldom
happen to the man who Is able to act
with calmness and Judgment. Summer
visitors to tho woods aro peculiarly
likely to be lo3t, but bo may also

Every mnn who goes into tho wood
should make up his mind that in cast

plo common-sense rules of conduct In
tho first plnce, he should reBolutely
refuse to be frightened. Tho lmme
dlnte effect of the discovery that out
is lost is usually complete dcmornliziv
tion. Tho victim falls Into a pnnU
of fear and wants to extricate himseM
Immediately. He runs about in dlfr
fercnt directions, hallooing, until whnl
little seiiBC ho had left is completely
gone. Avoid that. If you should mlsl
