Lot that be as It may, Prank Adams, stooping thero over a rugged block of dark ore, saw tho venomous beast colled up on a stone, with its head raised, and he remained watching it, apparently waiting for It to strike, while the at tention of Dawson wua taken up by the gliding soaly forms of several oth ers, as, making a low dull, warning rattle, they crept in and out among tho stones, boating a retrout, and evi dently thinking more of osoapo than assault. Though up hero In the Northwest It is a less venomous variety of the attlesnake that is oooasionally found, their bite is sufficiently serious to make tho roptilos so objeot of dread, though the disposition to make use of their poison-fangs is less prom inent oven than in the rattlesnako (tho Croialua 7iorridw) of farther south. As far as Frank Adama was conoerned, ho was perfeotly powerless to avert tho impending stroke: he read It in the beast's eye, and felt his danger, but he did not move. An othor Instant and tho reptile would have fixed upon him, when some thing dark appeared to pass before tho young man's eyes, the Bpell was brok en, and with aery of horror ho leaped baok. It had all been the work of a few moments, and before the dizziness whloh follbwed had passed away, Dawson wassaying, "That was a nar row escapo, Frank ; but tho brute will never bite again." Adams turned his head In the di rection of tho snake, to see it broken and writhing amidst the rough frag ments, for the durk object whioh had passed before the young man's eyes hod been a piece of stone, thrown with oareful aim by Larry, orushlng tho reptile beyond all power of doing harm. "Look at tho baste!" said Larry, completing his work, and then draw ing their dead enemy from among tho stones where Uhad. writhed. "That's pretty nigh six feet longj Sha'n't we be bavin' to move ?" Battlesnakes, danger, however, were forgotten in the dlcoovery they hod made. Xlere there was a place whose wealth was enormous; and doubtlesB they had but to movo the debris to oome upon ;tho blocks and masses of native silTer which had been covered over by Blips from the sides of the great chasm. The two men sat so thoughtful over their discovery of sufficient wealth to make them princes among men could they transport it to the regions of civilization that Larry muttered to himself, "Sure they don't want me. Bud he micht have said 'thanks' for killln' that baste.'" So Larry stole gently away with hiB pannikin and1 pole, and went down the valley, overtaking Mrs. Adams and Mary, who were tempiedr. to stroll by the beauty of the morning. "Sure, Miss Mary," said Larry, "ye'll be in luok this mornin-, an' j 1st ready to howld the basket for as 1111 gjxut.&,lpt(oy,tlupu,as Ivor, ye see.!'' on' they don't want ye, I'm sure for they both ov thlm looked as?dull "and as miserable as if they'd rather not; an' I came away an' left thlm.

Let's have a look at ye first, me boy," he Bald, sitting down and- taking what looked like a yellow watorrworn et! "I wondther where it comes from,'' said Larry.-as he trudged baok toward the tent, where he found Dawson and Adams breaking fragments off one of tho piecea of silver oto, nnd placing them in a crucible: "Come, Larry," said damsf "we want you badly. You take- this dis covery as coolly as If it wero worth nothing.'' "Sure an' I do,'' said Lorry, quietly. Dawson looked at him in astonish fnent, as he stood thero with his bot tom Up protruded, rubbing his chin with his left hand, while his right was thrust deeply into his pooket. "That's a dalo ov throubleand hard work' ho boIu,. after a minute. fJ'TroMble or no, Larry yeu'll have t buekJa ter said "Adams ? '!ao come ,.M4i.

"No, Sur; it's; at thegoolden dhrops I've been ; and it's made me think mighty little ovsuoh stuff as thatwlch ye've got to break up and melt down, an' the rest of it. Look here,'' said be, taking a handful of gold from his pockets; "what d'ye soy to that?" "Stream gold, by all that's glori ous!'' cried Dawson, pltohinga lump of silver on one side as though it had been clay. "Gold !" ejaculated Adams. "Hapes ov it," cried Larry: "an' I invented tho dlshoovery all be mesolf. There's the little river-bed jlst full ov it, where it ain't stones an' sand: an' I've thried it all down, an' It's all alike. What d'ye Bay to; yor sliver now?"

An' let's see, if ye'regoold ye'll out aisy like wld me knife.'-' He opened hla knife slowly, and tried the yellow find with the edge. It was hard, but his knife out from it a tiny shaving of pure yellow gold. It's all right," said Larry, closing his big knife with a snap. "Silver!" ho added, In a tone of contempt; "who'd dig for shlllin's whin he could turn up half sovereigns an' sovereigns at I very dip ?" He took his tin bowl, and scooped up from whero the trout had been swimniincr a ouantity of sand and water; then going a little higher up, he filled the bowl full of water, stirred it up with his fingers, and poured the sandy water away. This he did again and again, till there was nothing left at the bottom of tho bowl but a oouplo of handfuls of Jieavy fragments, gravel and bits of pebbles, washed beautifully clean. The perspiration stood In big drops on Larry's forehead as ho stepped from the bed of the Btream and emp tied this out oh a big flat-topped stone, the sun shining brightly down and showing that quite- one-third of the washed debris was gold puro gold in scales and fragments that, had appar ently been run together in nuggets, and what seemed to bo rounded peb bles. All these Larry carefully piok od from among the stones and trans ferred to his pooket, which was quite three ounces the heavier. Then, in stead of madly rushing off to get more Larry quietly swept the flat-topped 6tonc clear, and eat himself down, took out and filled an old black pipe, lit ud, and began to smoke. "Let me see," said Larry. "There Is no ind ov little pools liko that full ovsand an' pebbles, where they've been washed down from up in the mountains, an' goold's worth twinty times as much as silver. All we've got to do, thin, is to go on fishin1 it out bv the sand. Bedad, I'll have an other thry somewhere else, though !" Larry picked out a fresh pool just at the junction of another tiny thread-like stream with the one he waB in ; and here, plunging his arm Into the yator, he soooped up half a panful of sand from the bottom, stir ring it up and agitating it as he did so. "Bedad, look at thlm!" he said, exultlngly. "Look at the bits of gold like bran danoln' about in the wather. Why, I'll ioss-half ov thlm." Certainly a number of scales were lost by Larry's process, sinking down once more into the sand at the bot tom of the dooI : but when he had ended there was a bigger nugget at the bottom of his pan than bo had found before, lying amidst a score of littl fragments and dust.. Still, not satisfied, he went lower "down the valley for quite a mile, and experimented twlco In likely places, and always with similar results, the whole result being that for his care lessly oonducted morning'swork Lar ry had collected eight or nine, ounoos oX gold,, QATIETY. . Hardly a word. With shovels, tin bowls, and a'basket, tho three men, closely followed by Mrs. Adams and I Mary, went down to the pool Larry had dried, and, taking up shovelful by shovelful, washed the sand till the bare rook was reached, and water thrown over it to lay dear the tiny globules, threads and nuggets of gold lylDg in its orevlces. Then, when the tittle rook pool had been thoroughly cleared out, and just as the sun was Bottlng behind the mountains, the party, drenched with perspiration aud water, beoamo aware of the fact that thoy wcrtJ faint hung ry, while tho result oven with their Jrnnerfd0frwa8hlnr.,byj:hllquantl; ties o; cue nuer aust musiusva paeseu away-wos marvelous": thy!ba1l.'Col lectedTpounds of gold ; and on reach ing tho hut and tent the first thing done, while tho women prepared the food, was to dig a cache beneath the rocks, and hero was the treasure stored.- As Frank Adams sat In tho soft moonlight of that nlaht It seemed to him that 1c would all turn out some Aladdin's dream of gold and splendor; but no, there was the- preoious metal beneath their feet, aud a short period of such toll would produco as much as they could possibly take away, for there was the wild journey baok. Daw&on sat dreamy and quiet, hav ing little to say now that this the goal to his hopes, had been gained ; and Larry lay on 1i1b back and smoked as calmly as though nothing had hap pened. "Well, Larry," said Adams at last, "how doyou feel about the discovery?" "Ooh, as if harvest was over, yer honor, an I'd just been paldj." was the reply. "Bad luok to thlm rattle snakes! the'y won't come down to ub by the wather." "I hope not,'' was tho reply ; and soon, after a hearty repast on Larry's trout, the party was Indulging in gol den dreams of the discoveries of an other day. ' Silver had become of- no value In their eyes ; and In the early morning tho work began at the rook pdols in a quiet, systematio manner men ball ing and washing, and the women pioklng out the fragments of gold and placing them in little bags, strongly made for tho purpose ; for It had been decided to have it ready in their caohe for packing on the mules at a mo ment's notice. They seomed alone In the world hero, and tho Idea of pursuit had passed away; but there was al ways the ohance that fate might play them somo sourvey trlok, oven at this the most successful hour of their lives. Pool after pool did they dear as tho days wore on, some yielding heavily, some the shallow ones, where the stream had had greater foroe having nothing to show. But the bags filled up and inoreased in number as they toiled on, giving, themselves just enough time for proper rest and re freshment. "Sure it's a goolden harvest," said Larry; "an we ought to work all night." "And be lazy next doy, Larry. No, that won't do.,v So the work went on with what would have been wearisome Bameness but for the value of eaoh day's toll, and the foot that the question was now beginning to arise whether they had not collected more gold than the mules would be able to carry. This was, however, soon Bet aside: they had their place of concealment, and their polioy was deoidedly to store up all they oould, and take awaya fair load, paying second or third visits to the valley as they might need. For that this spot could be allowed to drop out of sight wa3 impossible. There was sliver enough there, most likely, to make an emperor wealthy. ool.after pool, then, y was. thor,augli- ly explored, always with satisfactory results, and on the average they found that the more they worked upward the more satisfactory became the find. This led to a determination to scale the tho prooipltous Bides of thevalley, and try and pursue the stream to ltssouroe for here theyjudged.it must pass thro the natural treasuro"'hoardfrom whloh it filtered tho various fragments they had found. In fact, the thirsfor gold Bomewhat allayed, ouradventurers began to grow weary, and hteeek to find larger pleoes and In a greater quantity than before. The notion of exploring was no soon er hinted to Larry than He began to make preparations by outtlng down a stiff fix-tree or two, whlohj when trim med, and'arfcg-i-tiyn $bfc&oh left oh felther ai&jiji if UNt apolo- W8ther-fair,'JriTrs there must be mora goold washed down in a day n Ju, &la fc of c runnel in a thoHsand years?" The idea seemed wild, but thre,was reasonla It! and after short day's toll washing they started down the canon to try and explore it, and, more care fully explore the rift, where the fall, whloh disappeared In a huge gulf, again came to tho surface. It was a weird journey ono whioh even a stout hearted man would have hesitated to mako alone. The rocks looked always blaok and impending to their fall ; the place was In soml ob3ourlty ; and ever, making the earth appear to vibrate, thero was tho rum ble and thunder of tho mighty fall. Then, too, the rooks were slippery with the mlBt which swept along the deeper parts of the canon In olouds. On reaching the spot where the wa ter from the fall emerged again to day light, It &as to gaze down into an awful rift, a slip meaning instant death for the water raged out with a roar, and was ohurnod into white foam by its passage amldaUhe ruggod obstades iu Its path. There might have been gold washed down, ground out, and beaten from tho rooks, but It must be hurled down tho stream for many mileB before It oould find a ledge whero 16 would stay without being sooured out. Weary with their olambor, they be oran to return, when Dawson seemed to grow anxious, aud began to urge tho others forward. - "What is it?" sold Adorns, smiling. "Do you wantjogetbaok to eho treas-- ;nx a9,a-. yoH ; twitu w ULtake.wIiics?! "I wanted to got book to our treasure, Frank," said, Dawson, gravely. "I do not think we ought to icavo them unprotected in a place like- this.' "There, don't talk In that blood ourdling way," said Adams, Increas ing his paoe. "I suppose it is foolish, and we have been beguiled by too muoh safety. TUlsis ouch an out-of- the-way place, though, that surely there is nothing to fear." "It is impossible to say," replied Dawson. "Adventurera are getting plentiful now, and there may be doz ens seeking gold and silver within a few miles. Then thore are "the In dians!" "What fools we were to oome !" ex olalmed Adams. "Come, Larry, step out." "Sbpout!" grumbled he, "when the place seems to have been made on purpose to punish people who have corns. I'll be dose behind ye, glntle men ; bo nlver mind me." With the feeling of auxlety always on the Inorease, they hurried on ob fast as their weary limbs would oarry them, tho water-fall roaring on their left, and iho strange eoho of tho hol low sounds seeming to roll down and down the deep canon. At last thoy reaobed the valley, whirfl thn onutlon induoed by a de sert life mado them seek tho shelter of tho rooks piled up at the entranoe, and there scan the valley right and left in search of the danger thoy folt to be at hand. But no; there was nothing to see all was calm and peaceful. The tent and hut wete-iu, their sheltered cor ner, and in the soft glow reflected from tho orange-tinted mountain-tops thev oould see Mary and Mrs. Adams sitting working and enjoying the soft balmy evening air. "Poor things!" said Dawson, Invol untarily, as he heaved a cteep sigh of satisfaction at seeing all so peaoeful. "Why poof things?" said Adanis, smiling. "It seems so hard a life for them out here In this desert." "True; but wo oan soo'ri mend It now. We came to get wealth, Daw son, and we have It." "Yes," said the other; "and we have been iay. We have not got half so muoh as we might have obtained. Frank, we must make them rich and give a future that will make up for this.

We have now sufficiently deaorlbed the four principal actors in the drama. It was after 10 o'olook one night, and Dr. Valpass sat in his study. A person requestod to see him. A tall deeply-veiled lady entered. Dr. Val pass politely offered her a chair, and asked her the nature of her business. With a deopsigh, sho threw baok her veil, aud the doctor's weaker human half surveyed that dazzling beauty In bewilderment. She told her story In a quiet, brief manner.

Tho praotioe of sowing oorn as a resorvo orop for; feeding purposes when needed, Is too much neglected by tbej majority of farmers.

The oorn crop may bo sown frorxJ the first of Juno to the middloof July. The yield varies" from five to ten tons per acre. The quantity of seed re quired Is threo and one-half bushels of the largo Dent corn to tho acre. This oroo, like the Hungarian, re quires that the land should be woll enriched. It is a good plan ordlnarK ly to plow the land twlco onoe wety early, then early in June. Harrow well and mark out In furrows with a shovel plow, from two and a half id three fect.apart.

All kinds of stook eat this crop with avidity, and eat It up oleant and thrive upon It better than any other kind of dry feed, ar.6 it is-much cheaper. Farmers would do- well to sow at least two acres unnually.

Sho had consulted- tho best medical men In Europe, and they prescribed ohango of Bceno. She had traveled a great deal, but without any salutary effect upon her boy.

The last scene opens on the fourth day of January, 1802. Dr. Valpass was patting his on gloves preparatory to entering his carriage, when he saw his affianced bride rush madly toward him.
