her words with him night and day.
He loved her; he had told no false
hood for the value of her fathers
wealth. AS she stood by the wounded
soldier, his eyes resting in sympathy on
her, her own seeing nothing but the
face in that half-lit room where her
shrine was raised, all that was left
of resentment vanished out of her
heart. When afterward she realized
this she was amazed and troubled.

"A few years ago., however, the dis
covery Of certain relics and ruins
proved clearly that both the Hebrews
and the Phoenicians had penetrated far
into Africa thousands of years ago, and
at was this that suggested the idea that
the tabled mines might possibly have
been located in that part of the world.
DR.. Peters was one of the first per-
sons to- advance that theory but the
fact that he had supported it called it
Immediately to the attention of the
world of scholars For years DR.. Peters
had been one of he most prominent of
the many German explorers. 1o Until
about two years ago he had been Ger

ca, but when he was accused of having
needlessly slaughtered natives on more

his time in making a thorough exp1ora-
ton of a part of the continent that nc
traveller had visited for at least two
hundred years. He has now examined
practically every nook and corner of
the country between the zambesi and
the Pungwe, in Portuguese East Africa
and Eastern Mashonaland.
MANY PROOFS.
Before DR.. Peters left England, near
1y two years ago, he had acquired geo.
graphical Information that led him to
believe that Fura was near the eastern
entrance of the Lupata Gorge. There
he found it.
In order to understand the full i'm
portance of this discovery to DR.. Peters
it is necessary to note that hen he
was last in England he had stated tha<
he was of the opinion that his countr'
that was known as Fura was &C
tually the old Ophir spoken of il
the Bible. He believed that thu
