Byers recently visited w: iington
and closed the matter up, leaving in the
hands of Congressman Haugen the
matter of urging the disallowed claims
in special bill. 1t has been the ambi-
ton of Gen. Byers that he shall recover,
without dollar of expense to the state
for commission or otherwise, all the
money spent in equipping the troops.
All of this expenditure was under him.
He had just come into the office of ad-
jutant general, and there were no pre-
cedents as to how to proceed to equip
for war with haste. Governor Shaw
ordered many bills paid informally, just
because he knew they We're right and
must be paid, but not with that formal
ity. required by the red tape of the war
bureau. Governor Shaw, as secretary
of the treasury, is now in a position to
greatly assist in getting the matter all
cleared up. He is manifesting great in
terest in the case. If the bill does not
get thru at the present session, it is
pretty sure to at the next session. There
are other states with claims aggregating
as much as $150,000 to 100000 yet not
disposed Of Iowa has Jared much bet

The suggestion of a corn judging

position has taken we'll. The idea is not
entirely new one nor distinctive to
Iowa. but it is certain that the most dis

culture is now at the state college at
Ames, where he is making start for a
great work in Iowa. If there is to be
any corn breeding controversies at the
exposition Iowa will 11e in 1T and be able

1t is learned here that the Seventh

have about decided on Stuart as the
right place. The people of that town
offered forty-acre tract adjoining the
town. with an option on as much more,
and the committee on location of the
school has practically accepted. The
Adventists are to establish an indus

CHAPTER XVIII.

CTAf ANlll.
MR.. PENCE DISCOVERS GOLD.
With much difficulty Mr.. Simon
Pence scaled the heights overlook
ing the bay, and, aided by Vincent,
finally reached the top. He cast one
lingering look behind, and followed
his young and sturdy companion into
the half-jungle which lay before
them. They found it possible, by
following the cliffs along the ocean,
to make fairly rapid progress. Their
march was hindered by frequent
gorges, but they proceeded laborious-
ly but steadily in southern direc-
ton.
Shortly after noon they ate their
luncheon. They rested on ledge
fronting the sea. Two miles to the
south Il huge crag reached out into
the blue water, and beyond no land
was visible. They decided to make an
attempt to climb the promontory,
believing that it would afford view
OF the south shore, and perhaps a
general survey of the island.
The brush thickened. They slowly
forced their way through a thicket;
Mr.. Pence in advance. Suddenly he
gave a cry of terror, and fell over
Vincent in his wild retreat.
Before them stood Il monster-the
grotcsque figure of human being,
with outstretched arms, hideous face
and protrudng teeth. At glance
Vincent recognized it as stone i'm
age, and shouted reassuringly to the
fleeing explorer.
In the open space before them
were the massive ruins of temples
and palaces; the tomb of a city
which had tlourished and decayed
long before the dawn of recorded
history. On mound and terrace
were crumbling relics of a former
grandeur.
The ruins covered many acres, and
lay back from the cliffs distance
not exceeding 100 yards. There
were traces of ancient fountains,
with figures half-buried in the mud
and slime of what once were pleas
ing pools.
In the center of the ruined city
was n pyramidal mound, surmount-
ed by the wreck of what once must
have been an imposing structure.
Vincent climbed up this mound and
gazed with awe on the grewsome
figures which were scattered in odd
postures around the stone floor of
the temple. In one corner the floor
had caved in and revealed n subter-
ranean vault or chamber of I'M
known extent. Vincent lowered him
self to the floor below. At first it was
SO dark he could not survey his sur
roundings, but his eyes became ac-
customed to the gloom. He stumbled
over the uneven surface and entered
passageway leading to the left.
Mr.. Pence called to him from over
head, and Vincent answered.; his
voice sounding sepulchral as it

echoed through the corridors. A
fallen stone block half closed the
opening into Il smaller room. Vim
cent lit match and entered. The
walls were covered with Il growth
of fungus, but his eyes were riveted
to q collection of carved figures of
various size which lined three sides
of the wall.
They evidently were images or
idols, and were ugly enough to have
scared the worshippcrs into any con-
fession or belief. They rested on
stone shelf formed by the top Of
Il mosaic wainscoting which project
Ell from the walls. Vincent picked
up one of the smaller images and
started back to examine it more
carefully in the daylight. 1t seemed
remarkably heavy. but he imagined
it to be bronze or copper, furnished
by the rust of ages. Vincent found
Mr.. Pence looking down into the
hole, but making no move to quit
terra firma.
"See what l have found" said
Vincent, handing the idol to Mr.
Pence.
"What Il singularly ugly thing"
remarked the capitalist as he han
died it gingerly. ITS awful heavy.
What's it made OFF,"
Vincent pulled himself out of the
hole and brushed the mold from his
clothes. Mr.. Pence looked intently
at the image. He ''hefted" it judi
ciously 1t was of rusty brown
color, but smooth and well pre-
served.
Remarkably heavy!" said Mr..
Pence. His eyes glittered and he
was much excited.
Let me take your knife,'' he said.
Vincent produced knife and opened
the big blade. Mr.. Pence dug into
the flat nose of the idol. He gave
the knife circular motion, and on
the end of the blade lay shining
yellow chip.
"Gold!" he shouted. "Gold! Solid
gold! Solid gold, and it weighs more
than ten pounds!''
The face of the millionaire was q
study. For moment it shone with
the splendor of the gold shaving
which rested in the palm of his hand
At that instant he was oblivious to
his surroundings. He clenched the
image tightly and regarded it witt
rapt expression such as mother
lavishes on her babe. Suddenly hi
attitude changed. He recovered him
self with start. His face darkened
He glared at Vincent and drew bacl
from him as in aversion.
