ming again. 'Me always we'll. S'pose
you let me see what you find"
Ned produced the bag and showed
the diamonds and Kanadu gave a
snort of disdain.
Look dis" he said, opening his
hand. In the centre of his brown
palm glowed diamond of great size
and brilliancy, the largest Ned had
ever seen.
''You take him, Ned" he said.
''Den you come out dat hole and hunt
good deal"
''You give it to me?" cried Ned.
"No want him. S'pose you glib me
gun, dat all right" said Kanadu.
Ned eagerly accepted the offer and
quickly had the jewel, fearing that
other eyes might see it. Other eyes
had seen it-those of Lascar Joe, and
he was literally stricken dumb at the
sight of the wonderful diamond. Ned
was busy all that day, and in the
night, with only Kanadu for COM
panion, he slipped away, and before
morning was far away from the camp.
He had bought another revolver at
the mines and Kanadu had beauti-
full rifle, the price of the big diamond,
That night they camped beside a
shining river, and the Hottentot kept
watch while Ned lay down to sleep.
He was tired and awoke after some
hours as cry of agony rang through
volver ready, to see Kanadu lying on
his face, his blood soaking the earth
and two men springing at him, with
knives and pistols cleaning in the
moonlight-men whom he knew
Lascar Joe and Matt Fralick.
"Give up the diamond and you
shall go free!" Kissed Matt, as he
leveled his pistol.
''Never!" cried Ned.
The pistols cracked together and
Matt fell dead and Ned staggered
back, with bullet through the fesey
part of the arm. He fell over the
PROSTATE form of the Hottentot and
before he could rise the foot of the
Lascar was on his breast.
Ned was weaponless, for his pistol
had fallen from his hand as he re-
ceived the bullet.
Fire" cried Ned. ':I'll never beg
for life from such as you; don't think
it,"
At this moment came a loud roar
and great, hairy body passed over
the PROSTATE man, sending the Lascar
to distance of 20 feet. Ned stag,

ing his enemy prey to the lion,
which had come to his aid so oppor-

joined by the Hottentot, who had
been stunned by the bullet which
grazed his skull, and the two kept on
their way all night, and finally reached
the settlements. Here Ned bade the
Hottentot farewell and reached Cape
Town. The diamond sold for $5O,.

A SOUTH AFRICAN EPISODE.

Ned Cummings went into Cape
Town in an Indian steame er in the first
year of the diamond excitement He
had never had as good a chance to get
rich easily, and he was not going to
let the chance slip by. So, one fine
morning, with knapsack slung over
his shoulder, good American revolver
strapped to his hip, and a Hottentot
as guide, he tramped away toward
Lhe Naal river.
Ned. swinging along under that
southern sky, caught up with two
men tramping in the same direc-
tion.
''Shipmates ahoy!" roared Ned in
his iolliest sea voice, which he could

gold or diamonds, that I amt had a

Days passed, and they were vet
upon the way, holding a course by the
skillful guidance of the Hottentot,
who knew the way well.
They came down into the camp
amid the barking OF dogs, but scarcely
noticed by the miners, who expected
to see new men come into the fields
day after day. Ned was an active
man, and before night he had learned
all the rules of the camp, and had
marked off claim for himself and his
two companions. His Hottentot
looked on in supreme disgust rs he
saw his friend mark out the ground
and fall to work.
That's so foolish" he said touch
ing Ned on the shoulder. "You come
hunt?'
''Ned showed him small diamond,
not larger than common. shot, which
had been given him in Cape Town.
Kanadu uttered snort of disgust.
"You come hunt" he insisted.
But Ned refused, and Kanadu left
the camp, and the men washed on
under the burning sun. There was
not much work in Matt Fralick or the
Lascar, and the burden fell on Ned's
shoulders.
Lets quit without any hard words
Matt, he said. II want a man with
me that can take o fair share of the
work, and you and the Lascar are just
about equal, you see. I'll strike a
new claim, or buy you out"
They chose to go out, thinking he
rould do nothing alone; but Ned had
made his plans, and after the two left

Cut OF the Now skirts.

Just because we are one and all to
have skirt fullness thrust upon us,
there is not the slightest reason to
fear that there's to be any painful
sameness about said fullness. No, we
may have our fullness where we want
it, and how we want it. 1t may
grace skirt or an overskirt, or
any other arrangement known to
feminine apparel. 1t may be thick
or thin, or in clusters, only it must be
graduated; shapely, you know, and
faring out toward the foot and taper
ing in at the belt. In the large en-
craving are six of this approved ways
of introducing the fullness.
