A ROMANCE FROM AFRICA.
The Story OF a Treasure Which Is In

expeditionary force recently sent against
King Prempeh found at Coomassie only
a meager number OF gold ornaments, and
hollow ONES At that. The value OF the
loot taken from the royal palace was
only about EaO0. and made a poor show

Now a correspondent writing from Accra
tells a story which. II trus-a very large
'if'-win make the British officers wish
they had not left the Ashanti capital
quite so soon. He says:
Some years ago a slave OF surpass-
ing beauty-of the Ashanti type, bien

the tickle fancy OF a chief. whose head
wife tolerated no rivalry. To rsproach
a husband is genearlly useless: in Coo

in her generation, forbore to risk her
head, but sent for the chief ex~ecutloner,
and caused the ears and lips Of the too
fascinating maiden to b. removed, rem
dering her such an object as can only
be seen in savage Kingdoms.

governor. and Informed him that the
real Treasure Of the Ashantis lie buried
some fifty feat below the soil. in a dis
used shaft Of a mine near Coomassle.

spot.
