Leo! wherefore standestltlioti
There between those Iron bars?
All the xoof thou knew'at, ere now,
"Was Afrlo's canopy of stars.
There within thy native cllmo,.
Thoa wert styled the forest king ;
And to theo the grazing kind,
Did their blood-warm tribute bring.
Often atlho evening dim.
By Dllolo's quiet flood,
Thoa hast lain In ambush grim
Waiting for thy feast of blood.
Tbero where Afrlo'a thirsty fteiKftJ1-
UnsuBpecuug, stoop to arint, - -
Thou sprlng'st from thykldlngMk,
Dragging them down to the'brlnfi.
Oft at Ethlspe's decline, -'
When the ciilcVtRlns;flrebarns,
Andjhetiaffa his beaded wfa
,gj nas'OMi iicavyeurna-e-A urw.-
Whon Zambezlo'a limpid, waters
Echo back the merry glee,.
Which bold Afrlc's 11th limbed daughters
Utter, all unheeding thoo,
There, cloSu by the sparkling fountain,
Where tho matrons como and go,
Filling vessels and recounting
Tales, while passing to and fro.
There tho silver osiers slender
Dip their bloom Into tho flood,
And tho palm-trees wave In splendor
Couchant thou dost watch for blood.
There when tho village fathers prato,
Long and loud their chauntlng rhyme,
In regard to war and state,
In regard to law and crlrac
Tnere, when troplo odors rise,
When bwoet reed-flute awako thodauco
And tho brilliant llre-flles
Lend their beauty to enhance
Thou dps reap thy harvest sangulno,
From the hearts-blood bounding warm.
Of thoso happy, dusky maidens,
Heedless of thy couching form.
And thus tho poet of the East,
Badly and yet proudly Mings,
"Tho Hon Is a royal Dcast.
That dines upon tho blood of kings. "

PZiifiSSSn'rr own nf -tlm nnaVin?'.whatKJ
er'ihe vietim be paralyzed with fear,'
naturalists must decide. 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

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

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?"
CHAPTER XVII.

cause if yo'ro rightlth'ere'B sure to
bo
lots moro of ye where ye come from.
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. I have been horribly Idle and
indifferent, but to-morrow we will be
gin again."
"Better load up what we havo and
make our way baok."
"No, not yet," said Dawson; "we
must have more of that rich red gold
Frank, we must make our hay while
the sun shineH."
"True ; but I'm afrnidiof a oomlng
shower. It seemed but just now that
things were darkening for us, and our
strange feelings a warning of danger
to come.''
"Nonsense, man ! tho dullness
brought on by weariness nnd the
dampness of that canon. I reckon
rhnre was no morerln it than that.
No ; we'll go on collecting for a few

The oorn crop may bo sown frorxJ

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
