beach diagonally from the farther
margin of caked blush clay to the strip
of coarse gravel and pebbles that
bordered the waters edge.
Apparently the indications were
satisfactory. Bending nearly double,
he eagerly scanned the patches Of
pebbles, scratching here and there with
his fingers, and letting the stuff winnow
through his hand.
Suddenly, with an ejaculation of
pleasure and triumph, he dropped his
weapon and began to pick up pebbles
here and there. Curious dirty-looking
stones they were, grayish white and
rusty, but having strange fiery CLEANS
in their depths.
With feverish haste he produced a
stout canvas bag, holding perhaps
a quart, tied with leathern thongs.
Greedily he continued his quest, pick

CHAPTER II.

When two men fall out who are
closely allied by blood or by friendsh ip
the breach is apt to be all the more
deadly and bitter than if they had been
only mere acquaintances.
And when the same men quarrel
over woman, covertly or openly, be-
ware of the consequences, for a very
pretty feud is apt to ensue.
1t was Richard Dysart's misfortune
to be born the younger son in a family
long in lineage but short in wealth.
He was bred to the law, having hopes
of family influence and preferment in
that quarter, his own taste being for
the army. But old Sir Arthur Dysart,
his father, had his own way, and Rick
religiously kept his terms and ate
his dinners at the Temple.
The elder brother, also named Arthur
there had always been a Sir Arthur
Dysart since Charles Seconds time
was of studious turn. being slight
and dark in stature and complexion,
presenting complete antithesis to his
Berserk younger brother. In tastes
and likings they were also at opposites.
Arthur seldom shot over his fathers
preserves; Rick was never so happy
as when he had gun over his shoulder
and good dog at heel. Arthur loved
books and flowers and music, and was
something of a colorist; Rick almost
hated the sight of book, and esteemed
a ride to the hounds worth more than
library of Elzevirs, and the merry
toot of the huntsman's horn prettier
than classic symphony.
But it must not be inferred that
Arthur was by any means a milk-sop-
he was a type of the modern English
gentleman, than whom there is none
finer on Gods footstool; and if his
pursuits were of the more peaceful
order, he could, nevertheless, be trusted
to hold his own anywhere and with
anybody.
Now, the Dysart acres were strictly
entailed, and as younger son Richard
Dysart could not expect more than
a modest inheritance. Old Sir Arthur
had foreseen this, and managed to lay
by few hundreds which at his death
he intended to bequeath to Rick to tide
him over the briefess days that come
to every budding barrister. Stella Dy-
sart, the sister,, was amply provided
for, her mothers jointure having been
settled upon her absolutely.
But the will, put off from day to
day, was never made, and one morning
the old baronet came a cropper over
his horse, was carried home with a
broken neck, and new Sir Arthur,
tenth of his line, reigned at Denecroft.
The latter was perfectly cognizant
of his fathers intentions respecting
his brother, and meant to scrupulously
carry them out, when an unexpected
obstacle occurred, to wit, a bitter and
acrimonious quarrel betwixt the
brothers.
Marcia Churchill was the woman in
the case, daughter of old Squire
Churchill, the reigning beauty of at
least three counties, at this time in
the heydey of her social triumphs.
Perhaps because Marcia Churchill
and Stella Dysart were representatives
of two distinct types of beauty they
were pretty close friends. Marcia
might have stood for one of DuMauri-
er's women, for she was tall and
stately, patrician, and severely beauti-

ing up stones apparently at hap-haz-
ard, but really with the quick selection
of the expert. Some of them were
hardly bigger than pea, many Others
were as large as a marble or hazel
nut, a few even larger.
Now, it is a blessed popularity OF
precious stones, cut or uncut, rough OF
polished, set or unset, that a fortune
may be contained in one very small
compass. And although mere size does
not always count in assessing the value
of a stone, yet those which our pros
pector had gath cred might be expected
to be worth anywhere from a hundred
to a thousand pounds apiece. For in
knocking about the diamond fields he
had become something ofa connoisseur
and in picking over this new field he
the finest specimens. albeit only in the
rough.
The whole claim" when properly
exploited, would doubtless prove to be
very rich, and Of this claim he was
of course the owner by right of dis
cOvery, In which the drastic mining
laws Of the colony would jealously pro-
tect him.
An hour suficed to I'LL the bag, the
mouth of which he quickly fastened
and flung it on the sand. Then, raising
his clenched fists towards the heavens,
cried in a voice hoarse with excitement
and triumph:
AT last! At last!"
With a grim smile lifting the
corners of his tawny mustache he gave
the bag kick and thus apostrophized
its contents:
There you are, my beauties! This
is my claim, and I'm one Of the richest
men in South Africa!"
For that dirty canvas bag held twice
s double handful of diamonds, and the
claim would be worth no man could
say how much. Richard Dysart's quest
was ended; he had found a virgin de-
posit Of those precious white stones,
for which, not two hundred miles
men and Kaff1r slaves were madly tear
ing out the bowels of the continent.
Dysart picked up the bag, walked to
where he had thrown down his Win
chester, and turned his face towards
camp. A distant rifle shot rang out at
that instant and apprised him that Joey
lad probably brought down their
supper.
"Confound the fellow!" he muttered.
Il wish he hadn't fired the gun!"
The sun had disappered below the
hills to the westward, and in less than
& quarter of an hour it would be dark.
Coming in sight of camp, he dis
covered Joey in the act of skinning
and cutting up young buck, while
the other boy was tending cheerful
fire built of drift wood left high and
dry on the river bank.
F1inging himself down by the fire,
the precious bag by his side. Dysart
removed his helmet, barring his white
forehead to the cooling night-breeze,
which was even now briskly tanning

"You remember he never spoke after
they carried him home" said Sir
Arthur reproachfully, ''but knew from
what he said to me at times that you
were to be taken care of-that you
would have been provided for If there
had been a willard I simply mean to
act in his stead.'
All this was certainly very fair and
generous, and the baronet looked ex-
pectantly at Richard for some sign of
a relenting humor. But the perverse
devil which clutched his heart-strings
would permit no relaxation, and the
only response was monosyllabic and
irritating
'Well?"
Sir Arthur's patience was giving
way, and signs of the Dysart temper
appeared in the shape of certain
twitchings and indentations of the
nostrils, yet he kept himself in hand
wonderfully.

you know there never has has been"
he went on, "but father set aside certain
sums which you were to have at his
death. l believe the amount is now
something like couple of thousand
pounds, and this shall be paid in to
your account as soon as the lawyers

SAW A BURNING MOUNTAIN
Landslide from Top of Hill Made Shale Red Hot-Smoke Issued
 from Ground.

' A party of geologists recently made an interesting find in the Arbuckle mountains. They struck, says the Kan- sas City Journal, smaM creek in the mountains, followed down it's course and came finally to place where they saw some smoke issuing from the foot of 8 tree near the creek bed, and from g streak running up the side ofa hill
 When the party came opposite the place they saw that the smoke was is- suing from the ground. Upon careful in- Nestigation the following was found: There had been a landslide from the top of the hill, which was here like cliff, and ran up 200 feet or more. The cliff was composed ofsa shale rock, dark. churt-like substance. Tn falling this had lodged below and piled against the side of the cliff. while the outer edge ran out ito the edge of the creek, The distance from the cliff side to the creek bed was nearly 100 yards. An enormous quantity of this shale had by a slide been placed in the position described.
 5 From the foot of the tree smoke issued from crevice about two feet wide and running about 100 yards up the slope to the side of the cliff. Another small fork projected before it reached the cliff, The ishale on top, whence the smoke and steam were issuing, was light in color. Upon digging down two feet or more the shale was found to be red hot
