Il to be merely mass OF auriferous
earth or stone. But its weight at once
dispelled all donbt on that point, for 1t
was more than twice as heavy as piece
of iron OF the same size. Great was
the rejoicing among Deeson's family.
The wife piled up o huge fire, and
Deeson placed the nugget on top, while
the rest of the family stood around
watching the operation Of reducing the
mass to the semblance of gold. All
through the Friday night Deeson sat up
before the fire burning the quartz,
which adhered to the nugget, and pick
ing off all the dirt and debris. This
was SO rich, that, on being washed in
the pudding. machine, it yielded ten
pounds weight of gold. Meanwhile
Oates had procured dray to convey
the nugget to town; and on the Satur-
day morning the two men set of fo-
Dunolly. They carried their treasure
to the London Chartered Bank, where
it was weighed and found to turn the
scale at two thousand two hundred and
sixty. eight ounces, or nearly two hun
dred-weight; and the sum of ten thou
sand pounds was placed to their credit
in that institution.

A Nugget Of Gold.

In the early days Of the Dunolly
gold.felds, writes the author of "A
Glance at Australia in 1880, two work
ing miners named Oates and Deeson,
after experiencing many vicissitudes of
fortune, found themselves, in the argot
of their class, dead-broke." Their
credit was exhausted at the neighboring
store, and one of them was actually in
need of bread. In sheer desperation
they began digging for. gold in very
unpromising locality. Itseemed a very
hopeless task; but the two men worked
on steadily, standing close to one an
other. Deeson piled his pick in some
hard, brick-like clay around the roots
of all old tree, breaking up fresh earth
and tearing away the grass from the
surface of the ground. He aimed a
blow at the clear space between two
branches of the root; and the pick, in
stead o. sinking into the ground, re-
bounded, as if it had struck upon
quartz or granite. "Confound it," he
exclaimed, "I've nearly broken my pick
1 wish 1 had broken it, if it had only
been over a nugget" A minute after
wards he called out to Oates and told
him to come and see what "this" was.
1t was a mass cropping several inches
ont of the ground, like boulder on a
hill. As each successive portion of the
nugget was disclosed to view, the men
were lost in amazement at its enormous
size. 1t was over a foot in length, and
nearly the same in breadth. The weight
was so great that it was difficult for the
two men to move it. However, by dint
of great exertion, they succeeded in
carrying it down the hill to Deeson's
cottage, where they commenced to in
spect their wonderful treasure. 1t was
completely covered with black earth,
and so furnished in color that an ex-

sight OF the crowd that quickly assem-
bied. The flames were blazing from
the roof and bursting from most OF the
windows. Old Mr.. Gray, q helpless
invalid, who had escaped from one OF
the lower apartments, stood wringing
his hands, and beseeching the specta'
tors, in piteous accents, to save his
daughter, who, pale and terror-stricken,
leaned from the window Of an upper
chamber, whence u leap to the ground
would be certain death.
Men ran in search OF ladders, but
found none, and every moment made
the chance OF rescue still more dill
cult.
"Mr. Webb! Mr.. Webb! will not you
save her?" appealed the frantic father
laying his trembling hand on Norman
Webb's arm.
@The attempt would be madness" the
latter answered; "tbe staircase is wrap
ped in flames, and no one can reach
that chamber, s.ve ut the peril OF his
life."
With q piercing shrek Mabel fell
back fainting from the window.
Norman Webb made movement az IL
to enter the door, but recoiled at the
sight of the fiery path before him, and
stood aghast and helpless. His burly
form was brushed aside like feather
by one who shot past. and darted up
the blazing stairway with the speed OF
an arrow.
The daring act filed the crowd with
amazement, which had not time to
abate before the intrepid stranger re-
appeared on the burning steps, now
crumbling under his feet, bearing in
his arms the insensible form of Mabel
Gray, carefully wrapped from head to
foot. His hat pulled over his face, part.
ly shielded it from the sheet of flame
through which, amid encouraging
shouts, he once more forced his why,
and wild cry of exultation rose when
Mabel was safely placed in her fathers
arms. Then came three times three OF
the widest cheers for ALLEN WARD,
when the stranger raised his hat and
revealed his scared and blistered face.
"Who is the coward now?" he ex-
claimed, as he sank exhausted to the
ground.
No one ever called him by that name
again; and Mabel, we are sure, never
thought his face less handsome for the
sears it bore on her account.
