down smiling at his p0rtly form as he
spoke these words.
This conversation took place in the little
ground-foor sitting-ronm of Salvini's villa.
This is entered i'm mrdiately from the left
hand side OF the courtyard, and is his
most private sanctum. The rooms on the
upper floor are those devoted to receptions
ard great occasions. On entering Salvini's
house one is struck by the refined taste
with which it is arranged. We do not
find mass of more or less authentic an
tique objects. On the contrary, antiqui-
ties are rather the exception in these rooms.
Salvini's sanctum is not like so many stud
les of this kind, choked up With guam
tity of works of all styles and times and
reduced to an arche DlOgicai museum. The
room is small. but large looking-glass be-
hind the writing-table serves to reflect the
walls and seems to make il larger. All
the furniture is of ebony. Opposite the
two windows that look in the little gar
den there is arranged large trophy of
armor This contains all the weapons

but no man grudged him the well-earned

that he should sit all day in the doorway

Good lnck had settled down with the
camp in Bull Guch, and following in her
train came the ever-increasing host that
always drifted into good diggings until a
good sized settlement had sprung up
around the spot where Graham's cabin and
the tents OF his comrades had stood alone.
Several years passed by and the diggings
began ID show signs of exhaustion, but the
place had become a sort OF headquarters
for supplies and carried on quite a trade

The struggle was soon over. Up from the

Bare brown bills reared their lofty heads

1t was near the noon hour In a few
minutes the men would throw aside their
pick and cradles and go through the pro-

buttoning the collars of their hickory
shirts and slapping down unruly locks
with their hardened palms, preparatory to
ascending the hill to dinner. This much
