1A Tale of £ • j Three Lions £ H. RIDER HAGGARD £ CHAPTER X_{CotmvoMtt.) "At last the crisis came. One Satur day I had paid the men as usual, and bought a muld of .nealle meal at sixty shillings for them to All themselves with, and then I went with my boy Harry and sat on the edge of the thundering great hole that we had dug In the hill-side, and which we had In bitter mockery named Eldorado. There we sat In the moonlight with our feet hanging over the edge of the claim, and were melancholy enough for anything. X’resently I pulled out my purse and emptied Its contents Into my hand. There was a half sovereign, two florins, nine pence In silver, no coppers, for copper practically does not circulate In South Africa, which Is one of the things that makes living so dear there, In all exactly fourteen and nine pence. “ ‘There, Harry, my boy!’ I said, that Is the sum-total of our worldly wealth; the infernal hale has swallow ed all the rest.’ “ ’Gracious!’ said Master Harry. '1 say, you and I shall have to let our selves out to work with the Kafirs and live on mealle pap ‘ and he giggled at hla unpleasant little joke. "But I was In no mood for joking, Mil U IB IIUI U lilt'll/ tUIU£ IV 'lift HR* mad for months and he completely ruined In the process, especially If you happen to bate digging like poison, and consequently I resented Harry's llght-heartedness. ‘“Shut up!' I said, raining my hand as though to give him a cuff, with the result that the half sovereign slipped out of It and fell In the gulf below. " 'Oh, confound It all,’ said I, ‘it's gone.* ‘“There, dad,’ said Harry; 'that's what comes of letting your angry pas sions rise; now we are down to four and nine.’ "I made no answer to these words of wisdom, but scrambled down the steep sides of the claim followed by Harry, to hunt for my little all. Well, we hunted and hunted, but the moon light is an uncertain thing to look for half sovereigns by, and there was some loose soli about, for the Kafirs had knocked off working at the very spot a couple of hours before. I took a pick and raked away the clods of ■ artb with it. In the hope of finding the coin; hut all In vain. At last in sheer annoyance I struck the sharp end of the plck-ax down into the soil, which was of a very hard nature. To my astonishment It sunk In right up to the haft. " 'Why, Harry,’ I said, 'this ground must have been disturbed!' “ ‘I don’t think so, father,’ be answered, ‘but we will soon see,’ and he began to shovel out the soli with his hands. ’Oh,’ he said, presently, 'it’s only some old stones; the pick has gone down between them, look;’ and he began to pull at one of the stones. “ ‘I say, dad,’ he said, presently, al most in a whisper, ‘it's precious heavy, feel it,’ and he rose and gave me a round brownish lump about the size of a very large apple, which he was hold ' ing in both his hands. 1 took it curious ly and held it up to the light. It was precious heavy. The moonlight fell upon its rough and dirt-lncrusted sur face, anil as I looked curious little thrills of excitement began to pass through me. But I could not be sure, f “ ’Give me your knife, Harry,’ I said. “He did so, and resting the brown done on my knee I scratched at its suriace. ureai neavens, it was sou: "Another Hecret and the secret was out; we had found a great nugget of pure gold, four pounds of It or more. •It's gold, lad,' I said, ‘It's gold, or I'm a Dutchman.’ "Marry, with his eyes starting out of his head, glared down at the long gleaming yellow scratch that I had made upon the virgin metal, and then hurst out into yell upon yell of ex ultation, that went ringing away across the siU-nt claims like the shrieks of somebody being murdered. ” ’Shut up. shut up!’ I said, ’do you want every thief on the fields after you?’ "Scarcely were the words out of my mouth when I heard a stealthy foot step approaching. I promptly put the htg nugget down and aat un It, as though It had been an egg and un commonly hard It was. and as I did so I saw a lean dark fare poked over •he edge of the claim and a pair of Wady eyes searching ua out. 1 knew ike tare.

"’If you want to know what it was, Mr. Tom.' 1 went on with my politest air, although In agony from Ihe nug get underneath, for 1 hold It always best to be polite to a man who Is so handy with a handspike, iny hoy and I have had a slight difference of opinion, and I was enforcing my view of the matter upon him; that’s all, Mr. Tom.' ” 'Yes, Mr. Tom,’ put In Harry, begin ning to snivel. “'Well, all 1 can say Is that a play ed-out old claim Is a wonderful queer sort of a place to come for to arglfy at ten o'clock of night, and what's more, my sweet youth, If ever I should 'ave the arglfyIng of yer' and he leered unpleasantly at Harry 'yer won’t ’oi ler in quite such a Jolly sort o' way. And now I'll be saying good-night, for I don’t like disturbing of a family party. No, 1 ain't that sort of man. 1 ain’t, flood-night to yer, ’tinier Qua termain - good-night to yer, my argl fled young one;' and Mr. Tom turned away disappointed and prowled ofT elsewhere, like a human Jackal, to see what he could thieve or kill. '“Thank heaven!’ 1 said, as I slipped off the lump of gold which had left a dent upon my person that did not wear out for a week or more. 'Now then. Just you slip up, Harry, and see If that consummate villain has gone.’ Harry did so, and reported that he had van Ifihed toward Pilgrims’ Rest, and then we set to work, and very carefully, but uemunrig wiin pjaifm'iu, »nu mi hands hollowed out all the space of I ground Into which I had struck the pick. Yes, as I thought, there was a regular nest of nuggets, twelve in all, running from the size of a hazel nut to that of a hen's egg, though of course the first one was much larger than that. How they all came there nobody ran say; It was one of those extraordinary freaks, with stories of which at any rate, all people acquainted with al luvial gold-mining will be familiar. It turned out afterward that the Yankee who sold me the claim had In the same way made his pile a much larger one than ours, by the way-out of a single > pocket, and then worked for six months without seeing color, after which he gave it up. “At any rate, there the nuggets were, to the value as it turned out afterwards, of about twelve hundred and fifty pounds, so that after all I took out of that hole four hundred and fifty pounds more than I put Into it. We got them all out and wrapped them up In a hand kerchief. and then fearing to carry home so much treasure, especially as we knew that -Mr. Handspike Tom was on the prowl, made up our minds to pass the night where we were a neces sity which, disagreeable as It was, was wonderfully sweetened by the presence of that handkerchief full of virgin gold, which represented the fnterest of my lost half sovereign. “Slowly the night wore away, for with the fear of Handspike Tom before my eyes 1 did not care to go to sleep, and at last the dawn came, blushing like a bride, down the somber ways of night. 1 got up and watched its perfect growth, till it opened like a vast celes tial flower upon the eastern sky, and the sunbeams began to spring in splen dor from mountain-top to mountain top. I watched it, and as 1 did so it flashed upon me with a complete con viction tbHt 1 had not felt before, that I had had enough gold-mining to last me the rest of my natural life, and I then and there made up my mind to clear out of Pilgrims’ Rest and go and shoot buffalo toward Deluge Hay. Then I turned, took the pick and shovel, and although It was a Sunday morning, woke up Harry and set to work to see If there were any more nuggets hsnily. As I expected, there were none. What we had got bud lain together In a little pocket filled with soil that felt quite different from the stiff stuff round and outatde the pocket. There was not a trace of gold. Of course. It la possible that there were other pockets full somewhere about, but all I have to say Is i made up my tulnd that, whoever found them I should not: and, as a matter of tael, I have since beard that ibst claim Has been the ruin of two j or three people, as it was very neatly j lit. ru'n of me I **‘Harry, I said presently, I am go tng away this week toward* tie logo to •boot buffalo Shall I take you with me or send you down >e Durban?'

To our right a little stream, which had cut a deep channel (or Itself in the bosom of the slope, flowed mu sically on between banks green with the maiden hair, wild asparagus, and many beautiful grasses. The bed-rock here was red granite, and in the course of many centuries of patient washing the water had hollowed out some of the huge slabs In its path into great troughs and cups, and these we used for haihlng-places. No Roman lady, with h'T baths of porphyry or alabas ter, could have had a morn delicious spot to lave herself than we had within lifiy yards of our skerm or rough In clnsure of mimosa thorn that we had dragged together round the cart to pro tect us from Hie attacks of lions, of which there were several about, as I knew from their spoor, though we had neither heard nor seen them. "It was a little nook where the eddy of the stieaiu had washed away a mass of soil, and on the edge of it there grew a most beautiful old mimosa thorn. Beneath the thorn was a large smooth slab of granite fringed all with maiden-hair, and other ferns, that sloped gently down to a pool of the clearest sparkling water, which lay In a howl of granite about ten feet wide by five deep In the center. Here to this slab we went every morning to bathe, and that, delightful hath is among the most pleasant of my hunt ing reminiscences, as It Is also for rea sons that will presently appear, among the most painful. “It was a lovely night, and Harry *nd I sat there to the windward of the (Ire, at which the two Kafirs were busily employed In cooking some ini paia steaks olf a buck which Harry, to his great Joy, had shot that morn ing. and were us perfectly contented »irn ourselves and the world at. large is two people could possibly be. The night was beautiful, and It would rc lulre somebody with more words on !he lip of his tongue than I have to leecribe the chastened majesty of the moonlit wilds. Away forever and for ter, away to the mysterious north,1 ■oiled the great bush ocean over which he silence hung like a heavy cloud, riiere beneath us a mile or more to he right rolled the wild Oliphant ■Iver, and mlrror-like flashed back the moon, whose silver spears were shiver 'd on Its breast, and then tossed in twisted lines of light far and wide about the mountains and the plain. Down upon its banks grew great lim ner-trees that through the stilly silence pointed solemnly to heaven, and the neauty of the night lay upon them like i dream. Everywhere was silence— si ence In the starred depths, silence in lie fair bosom of the sleeping earth. Vow, if ever, great thoughts might rise u a man's mind, and for a space he might lose his littleness in the sense hat he partook of the pure immensity ibout him. Almost might he hear the (hoes of angelic voices, as the spirits poised on bent and rushing pinions •wept onwards from universe to uni verse; and distinguished the white fln ;ers of the wind playing In the tressei: if the trees. "Hark! what was that? "From far away down the river Ihere comes a mighty rolling sound, then another, and another. It Is the ion seeking his meat. "I saw Harry shiver and turn a little jale. He was a plucky boy enough, but the roar of a lion for the first time in the solemn bush veldt at night is ap: :o shake the nerves of any lad. to KB CONTISCBO.* AN OLD MOSAIC.

After Italy and Provence there is no lountry where Rome has left more monuments in every state of preserva ion of decay than in Tunis, says the Loudon Daily News. The largest Roman circus after the Coliseum is Rl-I>Jem, Arles ranking next and Nimes omlng fourth. At a recent sitting of the Academy of Inscriptions In Baris M. Bolster, our correspondent says, gave an account of a remarkable Itomau discovery at Susa, in Tunis. The French, who, unlike the English In Egypt, have settled down in Tunis for good, have got a camp at that sea port which is "a mine of mosaics,'’ where fresh discoveries are made every year.

(Washington Correspondence ) Tlhe following statement shows the rates of duty imposed by the new tariff bill Just Introduced In the house of representatives, upon articles In which the farmers are especially Interested. I his relates both to the articles which they produce and which they want thoroughly protected and also to the articles which they use in considerable quantities and regarding which they are equally Interested as to the rates of duty fixed by the new bill. I he Republicans In the house of rep representatlves have broken the record In the matter of promptness touching the new tariff bill. Congress met in special session ten days ufter Presi dent McKinley was inaugurated and within three hours the house had or ganized by the election of officers; rules had been adopted; the ways and means committee had been appointed, the tariff bill had been presented In complete form and had been regularly referred to Its proper committee with the understanding that It would be re ported (jack to the house before the end of the week and passed that Imdy within a fortnight. The provisions of the new bill are extremely satisfactory to members of congress representing the agricultural districts and agricultural interests. All of them who have had an opportunity to examine It speak In the highest terms In regard to It. No man In con gress is better able to Judge of the bill and of Its prospective work than Gen eral Grosvenor, of Ohio, who, as a member of the committee, has studied every article and Item carefully, guarded the interests of the farmers closely and consulted with the farmers of his agricultural districts regarding the important features of the bill which affected not only their own in terests but those of farmers generally. Speaking of this feature of the bill he said; “The farmer will find; first, general protection of his product in the form of tariff duties levide upon articles of importation of every character such as he produces in the United States. Thus, the development of the sheep industry we have taken up and resumed at the point where the Wilson bill destroyed it, with the hope; first, of a profitable industry directly, and second with the hope of diverting a vast amount of agricultural lands of the middle west the west and the northwest from the productions of agricultural grains, veg etables and fruits, to the production of sheep, and secondly in the same direc tions stands the protection to sugar. So far as the wool features of this bill are concerned, the protection is very much better for the sheep grower than was the McKinley law because of one great feature, the removal of the pos sibility of fraud by the importation of carpet wools, which at once, on their release from the customs house, became clothing wools.” The following statement, gives In the first column the rates of duty pro posed by the new bill; in the second column, the rates showing the present Wilson tariff law. and in the third col umn those of the McKinley law. It will be seen that in almost every case the rates are much more advantageous to the farmers than those of the present law and in many cares superior to those 4)1 the McKinley law. This is especially true with reference to wool, the explanation of which is found in the remarks of Ueneral (Jrosvenor quoted almve. These should be ex amined carefully. HU statement upon that subject is important because with out It the reader not skilled in the de tail of the tariff ma>ter would not un drstaud the advantages given to the farmer by that feature of the bill which prohibits the classification of coarse clothing wools under tile carpet wool schedule, by which under the Mc Kinley law enormous quantities of wool mod in clothing came Into the country at very low rate*.
