CONCIUSION.

There was little sleep that night in
the cavern home Of the gold seekers.
The fact that the whole crop of the pre-
cious stuff was the better part OF a
mile away in the mountains. even
though apparently safe, caused every
one to feel uneasy. IN addition was the
announcement of Jeff Graham, the
leader. that their work in the Klondike
region was ended. In keeping with his
habit of making known only that which
was necessary. he gave no explanation.
and his friends were left to speculate
and surmise among themselves. All,
however. suspected the truth.
At early dawn Tim McCabe and the
boys started up the trail. leading the
burro. The old miner remained behind.
saying that he expected company, and
his help was not needed in recovering
the pilfered gold. The anxiety of the
men and boys did not lessen until they
rea ched the well remembered spot and
found the canvas bags intact. They
were carefully loaded upon the strong
back of the animal, secured in place
and the homeward journey begun.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-20

There was no nonsense about those
sturdy fellows. They made their living
by compelling obedience to the laws or
their country. and were always pre-
pared TO do their duty. At the sugges-
ton of JEFF they questioned the men,
who admitted their guilt, supplement-
iEg the confession with another appeal
for clemency. Without deigninG re
Div. the officers slipped the handouts
upon tbs m, and, declining the invitation
TO remain TO supper, departed with
their prisoners, whom they delivered TO
the authorities at Dawson City on the
following day Since they had admitted
their guilt, our friends were not re-
quired to appear at witnesses, and the
case may be closed by the statement
that Hardman and HeTzOS received the
fun punishment which they deserved
When the evening meal was finished
the men and boys remained outside in
the cool. clear air, the former smoking
their pipes and all discussing the STIR
ring events of the day. The boys con-
fessed their neglect in failing TO make
known the presence of HerzoS IN the
nefghborhcod. because the fact was
driven from their minds by their eX-
citement over the discovery OF gold

JOLLY NURSERY GAMES.

Aunt Sally" is an old-fashioned
friend that the children of today will
hail with delight, if a grown up who
knew this portly parsonage when she
was popular some 20 years ago, will set
up her court again.
A bolster and q few old clothes Will
recall her, and frilled nightcap must
not be forgotten. Tie the bolster Cow

and at the top for waist and neckline.

over it, fill out the sleeves with news
paper, mark out jolly looking face
Ca little coloring will help, and when
the cap is tied on put clay pipe in
the mouth, made by indenting the boil
ster. Sticks of kindling wood will serve
as ammunition, and the players are to
stand 20 feet away. After a certain
number of trials for each, Whoever
knocks the pipe out of the mouth the
most times wins.
Home made giants and dwarfs give
great delight to small children, and the
elder who personifies these freaks, will
find himself enjoying the makeup I'M
mensely.
1t is not asserted that these are new
to the performer, but the audience who
are introduced to them for the first
time never fail in their appreciation.
The giants must be up-to-date, Jovial
fellows, who look too good natured to
brighten the most timid child.
The simplest makeup is to mount one
of the boys on the shoulders of grown
man with a cloak around the former
that falls to the waist of the man. The
bows face can be quickly changed by
few black lines, and high hat adds to
the height and disguise. A more elab-
crate giant is made if one cares to take
the trouble to sew together a few
lengths of some dark colored material
thin enough to be seen through from
the inside and yet so thick that out
siders can not see in. This is to be
draped on a pole surmounted by maze
M face. or the boy on the shoulders of
the performer may have it hung from
his neck. A barrel hoop is to be fastened
about midway of this cloak or skirt,
and it can easily be imagined what fun
nv antics this giant can be made TO
plav, and how enormously tail he may
be made to appear. If the under man
stoops down and the upper boy STANDS
on his feet, with the hoop properly
managed a dwarf appears in the twink
ling. The hoop not only represents the
waist line, but holds the stuff away
from the face of the insider. TWO
hoops may be used. the smaller one TO
slip over the head and rest on the
shoulders of the outside boy. Holes cut
between the two hoops TO allow the
arms to be thrust through give still
further powers to this double man.

RECKLESS LORD LAWRENCE.

The Koh-i-noor, Queen Victoria s
most famous jewel, and one of the big
gest and most celebrated diamonds in
the world, has been much written
about. and its adventures among east
ern potentates and thieves traced with
much research, but-one of the queereSt
things that ever happened to 1t befel
after it came into English hands, and is
very little known.
The Punjaub was annexed in 1Si9, and
the East India company took possession
of the Lahore treasury, as the Lahore
government was deep in their debt. The
Koh-i-noor was the great treasure of
the treasury, and it was stipulated in
the agreements signed by both parties
that it should be presented to Queen
Victoria. At a meeting of the East In
dia board the mountain of light was
given into the care of John, afterward
Lord Lawrence.
Mr.. Lawrence must have been in a
singular frame of mind at the time. for
he put the gem in his Waistcoat pocket
and in his own phrase, thought no
more about it." This is unaccountable,
but true for he went home, changed
his clothes for dinner, and did not wear
nor handle that waistcoat again for a
day or two. Then came message from
Lord Dalhousie TO the board asking for
the diamond, that it might be forward
ed 10 the queen.
We'll" said John Lawrence to his
brother Henry, send it at once"
why, you have it," said Henry.
Lord Lawrence all his life would tell
of the terror that then seized him. This
is the worst trouble | ever got into"
he said to himself, as the cold sweat
started on his forehead. But when he
got out the discarded waistcoat there,
undisturbed, was the great Koh-i-noor
that Turk and Persian Hindoo con-
querors had shed rivers of blood to pos

Quick as were the boys in hurrylng to

Ike Hartman begged for mercy at the

20 do anything desired if he received

Of the cousins in pursuit of the thieves,
and it did not take them long to under
stand what had occurred They set out
over the same trail. along which they
readily discovered the footprints of all
the parties. Tim. in his angry impa-
thence, outsped his more stOhd COM
panon, and by good fortune came upon
Hardman while in headlong fight down
the mountain path.
The latter tried for a time to make ii
appear that he knew nothing of the alb
straction of she gold from the cavern.
but Tim would nave none of it, and
gave him the choice Of conducting them
TO the place where it was concealed, or
Of undergoing capital punishment"
Like the poltroon that he was, Hard
man insisted that his companion, Victor
Herzog. was the real wrong-doer. but
he offered to DO what was demanded,
only impioring that he should not be
harmed for his evil acts.
Tin extended his hand and took the
Winchester from Frank Mansley. He
knew it was loaded, and he said to his
prisoner:
Lead OF, and if We think it will pay

hope from Hal Oman. who led them
along the trail a short way, then turned

Frank had seen iim standing a short
time before.

sternly bade them hold their peace. The

glanced around TO fix the locality in his

on his part to escape would be followed
by the instant discharge OF the guns.
