PICKING UP GOLD.
Half Hours Operation of Washing 1t in
Wooden Platters.

Half Hours Opera ton of Washing 1t in
Wooden Platters.
Lady Hodgson, in her book on the
Gold Coast of Africa, says that at AK
i'm, as the residents told her, gold
could be picked up in the streets. She
naturally thought of this as a mere
figure of speech, but her informant I'M
meditately told woman to go out into
the main street, gather bucketful Of
oad-scrapings, and work it for gold
dust. In ten minutes the woman re-
turned with two galvanized iron buck
cts. one filled with road scrapings and
the other with water She also brought
three or four wooden platters, varying
in size from a large plate to saucer.
Taking out several handfuls Of the
road scrapings and placing them in
the largest platter, she picked out and
threw aside large stones, pebbles and
bits of stick, and loosened the remain
der by sprinkling it with water from
the other bucket. This enabled her to
remove further refuse. The residuum
was put into the next smaller platter,
and the process repeated until there
was a quantity of uniform stuff ready
for treatment. This she sprinkled
freely with water, and by deft cir
cular movement of the platter brought
the SMALL gravel outward where it
could be thrust over the edge. When
this operation had been repeated three
or four times, the stuff, which now
looked more like mud than anything
else, was ready for treatment in a
smaller platter. Here the same circu-
lar movements resulted in the discard
ing of further unpropitious elements.
Finally, in the smallest platter the
stun had resolved itself into a small
quantity of black sand. This was care
fully washed and sifted by the aid Of
circular movements. and at last dex-
ferrous twist brought the sand into a
crescent on the platter, when there
appeared on the outmost edge thin
rim. II was Enthusiastically gold. The
whole operation had taken half an
hour, and the result was about a shil-
ling's worth of dust-Youth's Com
panion.

SOUP AND STOCKS.
Omens Which Gave Warning to n Heavy
Speculation.


Spectator.
A New Yorker in London during the
recent time of excitement on the stock
exchange attributes his fortunate is
sue from a series Of heavy speculations
to an incident that was connected
with nothing more occult and super
natural than a plate of soup. He
was at dinner when the recent crisis
was at its height. The soup was vermi-
celli. with the customary letters
floating in it. In the conversation the
New Yorker was contending against
the general argument that the existing
high prices were not likely to decline
but rested on a business basis which
made it certain they would be main
tanned. He was lifting the spoon to
his lips after a very spirited utterance
on the subject, when he saw that the
four letters in his spoon spalt the
word SELL" He is not supers-itious
man, but the incident set him think
ing. He swallowed the omen with
out mentioning it. He continued to
eat, anu ln6 40 NNAR
chiefly to the condition of the stock
market in this city. When he dipped
his spoon in the soup for the last
mouthful. the New York operator
saw that only six of the -four letters
remained in the plate, but they spelt
the word Unload" This coincidence
was too much even for the doubling
stock broker. who excused himself
from the table and went to the cable
office OF the hotel. He sent word to
his broker to close out all his rail-
road holdings and the difference in
time brought the message here for
the opening Of the market on the
day OF the panic. His broker followed
his directions. and he came out
heavy winner. Il Is not surprising
that his favorite soup is now vermi-
cell, especially when he Is operating

Susie: A S shsteS
BY Philip verriII MisheIs

err. want Susie? Nonsense, you dirty

The woman was speechless. She
started abruptly to run to the agent,
but suddenly halted, remembering
sharply that against the wishes of an
Indian parent the government was
powerless to hold pupil.
A silence fell on the Indian maidens
and the baffied teacher. A few quick
words in the Washoe tongue delivered
by the father to his child and Susie
laid her apron on the table. Then ST.
lently she walked to her teacher,
kissed her lightly on the hair and
turned to follow where the man already
shambled slowly toward the brush. Her
head bowed submissively forward, her
hands hanging listless at her side. she
trod In his trail, and the dog shufied
patiently behind.
The sun was casting long. slender
filaments Of shadows. Into its rudy

CHAPTER l.


Down through the grey of the sage
brush, on a hill that was jeweled with
patches of the melting snow of winter
all but gone, stumbling alone as lazily
as the blear-eyed dog at his heels, a
Washoe Indian of Western Nevada ar
rived at the edge of hurrying brook.
Removing a hat, all battered and fuz-
zy, that once had been of silk and
proudly high, he gruntingly descended
to lie on his stomach at the selvedge
green OF the waters brink and thrust
in his lips for short, eager drink.
The dog Tapped above him. Both re-
sumed the march again, for the Indian
school was near at hand and the way
ali a carpet of stubble.
To the kitchen door the Washoe
slouched, and awed the young mahalas,
who. with red in their faces from the
glowing range, were up to their elbows

"Injun Jim, he's wants my Injun
grill" he announced.
'Lordeel" cried the teacher. jump
ing nervously, you frightful objectl
You startled me dreadful. Now. what
in the name OF goodness do you want?"
The Indian maidens stood In atti-
tudes OF stole amazement-one except
ed. She, the brightest and the tallest,
merely gazed at the visitor in dumb
appeal, her hands going slowly, re-
luctantly back to the strings OF the
apron that hung about her waist

OnAi' LEM "A.
The stranger ceased to speak, and
Mr.. Cowley stared at him with much
bewilderment.
How did you know all this?" he
asked at last.
Because I am Stanley Vernon, the
only brother of that unhappy man,
he said. quietly.
Rose uttered little cry of astonish-
ment.
YES" ne added, this shameful fam
lily history made me almost loathe my
name. have borne that Of We're
for many years. Under that name
met and loved your daughter, sir-un-
der my own, I shall soon ask you for
her hand! But for the present let 1t
be my task TO clear up this mystery.
Il came home from Italy as soon
as heard this house was let. 1t was
mistake upon the part of the agent;
but I should be the last on earth to
regret it. But must take precaution
against a similar event. This is no fit
habitation for any one"
Then it is really haunted?" asked
Mr.. Cowley.
II fear it is. Rose will you go to
your mother. and, gentlemen, will you
follow me-
They obeyed him without word.
He went straight to the buffers pantry
and took up spake and pickaxe, al
ready placed there by Mr.. Cowley.
My brothers wife died delirious, and
no one ever knew where she had
buried the child. which l was quite
certain she had destroyed. / had my
suspicious at the time, but longed to
hush the whole thing up as speedily as
possible. Now, however, all must be
made clear"
With few vigorous strokes, he took
up the floor of the room. A tiny skel-
eton, haIf-bedded in the moist ground,
met their eyes. and Mr.. Cowley turned
aside to hide his tears.
Poor thing!" he said sadly,
Charles, don't tell your aunt, or wife,
or cousins. but get them away-take
them to the town this very afternoon.
Mr. Vernon and I will follow as soon
as this poor little creature has been
properly buried There, go, my dear
boy, and, above all, not word to the
girls of what we have found today"
So Mrs. Cowley had her way, after
all, and spent happy Christmas Day
at Meckleaburgh Square, surrounded
BY all the members of her family, and
waited upon at table by no less per-
son than Mrs. Mccarthy, to whom she
chung as a kind of fellow sufferer from
the whims of the head of the house.
Christmas and New Years Day hav-
ing passed gaily away, there only re-
manned the wedding of Rose, and for
that I need not hint that the greatest
preparations were made.
The happy day came slowly on. The
tidings of the romantic betrothal had
awakened much curiosity among those
to whom the pair were known, and the
church was crowded when the carriage
drove to the door.
Rose faltered slightly as she stood
on the threshold of the church and
gazed upon the concourse of people;
but a glance from the dear companion
at her side treasured her, and calm
and happy she moved onward and took
her place before the altar.
Not to the haunted house, however,
but to a pleasant villa upon the sea-
coast, Mr.. Vernon took his fair young
bride.
And as they sat hand in hand in
their new home-the doubts and follies
of the past all forgotten and forgiven
the moon rose slowly above the water,
and bright path stretching out over
the waves Of life's sea, and waiting
