gIeefully, holding out n1s watch TOT Cranes inspection. See that!" point ing to the hand he had stopped as the bays brown nozzle flashed by the post; "two-nine on this course! Anything that beats that pair, fit and well, a mile and 8 quarter on a fast track'll have to make it in two-five, an that's the record
 "It looks good business for the Derby, Langdon."
 "Yes, it does. That's the first show ing I've had from the colt as a three year-old; but knew he had it in him. Hanover was a great horse, but this youngster'll be as good as his daddy ever was. I don't think you ought to start him, sir, till the Derby, if you're set on winnin' it."
 He had moved up to the gate as he talked, and now opened it, waiting for the boys to come back. They were trotting toward the paddock, where stood the two men. Langdon took Di- ablo by the bridle rein and led him in toward the stalls.
 How did he shape under you, West ley?" he asked, as the boy slipped from the saddle. .. "I wouldn't ask to ride better horse I thought I had the colt beaten, sure but my mount seemed to tire little at the finish. He didn't toss it up, not a bit of it; ran as game as pebble; he just tired at the finish. I think mile is his journey" >'a
 T guess you're right, Westley; 8 miles his limit At level weights with the three-year-old, which means that he had twenty pounds the best of it, he should have held his own the whole route to be a stayer, for the colt isn't more'n half ready yet"
 "I didn't hustle him none too much, sir; I might a squeezed bit more out of him. Did we make fair time?" Quite a feeler, Mister Jockey" thought Langdon to himself; 'it's news you want, eh?" Then he answered aloud, with diplomacy born of many years of turf tuition: Parrish sort of time; 1t might have been better, per haps-a shade under two-twelve. l | thought they might have bettered that couple of seconds. But they'll come on-they'Il come on, both of them. If anybody asks you, Westley, The Dutch man was beaten off, see? I don't like to discourage the clever owners that has good 'uns in the Derby" Then he added as a sort of after thought, and with wondrous carelessness: "Tt does mt matter about the black, you know; he's only sellin' platter, so it doesn't matter. But all the same, Westley, when we find soft spot for him, an overnight sellin' purse or someth1p' i, you'll have the leg up, with bet d0012 for you at long price, see?"
 II understand, sir"
 By the time Langdon had slipped the 5addls from Diablo's back the boy had thrown hooded blanket over him. and he was led away.

 Simpopo and the Sabia should be ex- plored. for nothing can more con- vincingly prove the existence of large gold mines than the fact that it IS death to native to speak of them or of the ancient ruins to be found there. In the opinion of Erskine it is the an- cient Ophir. The queen of Sheba's s real name was Sabia, name which IS even now given to a mine there. In some maps Sofala is called Sophir. The 'S' is merely a prefix and it is therefore reasonable to suppose that the original name was Ophir.
 Mauch, the German explorer, in 1871 discovered the long sought ancient ruins of Zimbaoe, and he found the natives were accustomed to work for alluvial gold. These ruins were near Pikes Kraal, and are extensive. The walls are still 30 feet in height. and are built of granite, hewn into small blocks about the size of our bricks and put together without mortar. The most re- markable of these walls is situated on the very edge of a precipitous cliff. The walls are about ten feet thick at the base and seven or eight at the top. Another portion of the ruins was the remains of an ancient tower, called ''the house of the great princess" or palace of the queen.

 monarch concessions which will restore eventually to the world these oldest and richest of gold mines. Prepara- uons are being made, 1t is said, for the development and working of these concessions, and the world will wait with interest the news as to whether Ophir has been positively located or not. Certain it is that gold is con- siderable export of Abyssinia, and that there are gold mines in that unknown country which have been jealously guarded for years is equally certain.
 But the weight of opinion and evil dence has always placed the probable location of Ophir much to the south of Abyssinia, in the region of the Zam- besi river. The Portuguese poured out men and money in an effort to explore the country along the Zambesi, but never found enough gold to pay inter est on their investment. In a paper read before the London Geographical society in 1875. St. Vincent Erskine declared that the country between the

repeating, dwelling lovingly on the thought; for across the new green of the grass-sprouted course he could see two open lengths of daylight between Diablo and The Dutchman.
 "Fifty-one and a half for the half mile," he imparted to Crane, looking at his watch. sNow The Dutchn1an is moving up; Colley doesn't mean to get left if he can help it. I'm afraid Di- ablo'll shut up when he is pinched; his kind are apt to do that. The Dutchman is game, an if he ever gets to the blacks throat-latch he'll chuck it. But ridin', sir" He was becoming enthusi- astic, exuberant. The silent man at nls uds noticed the childish repetition with inward amusement.
 "He hasn't got him yet, he hasn't got him yeti" cried Langdon, joyfully, as the horses swung around the bottom turn, closer locked, but with Diablo still short length in tho lead.
 Crane saw no great cause for ex- hilaration. The Dutchman was certain ly giving the black twenty pounds the US0I Ol IL HI bAC WCl6aCS, AOA OACE W 0o oS three-year-old while the other was four and they each carried a hundred and twelve.
 "The mile in 1:42," chirped Langdon. That's movin', if you like, considerin' the track, the condition of the horses, an that they're runnin' under double wrap. Now we'll see ding-dong fin- ish if the black doesn't show streak of yellow. Dutchy's got him. he add ed, as through his glasses he saw them swing into the straight, neck and neck.
 Clever MT. Westley!" for Diablo's rider, having the rail and the lead, had bored out slightly on the turn, so as not to cramp the uncertain horse he rode, and carried The Dutchman wide.
 Up the straight they came, the boys helping their mounts with leg and arm, the black holding his own with dog ged persistence that quite upset Lang don's prognostication of cowardice.
 To the watchers it was as exciting as stake race. The stamina that Langdon had said would stand The Dutchman in good stead over the mile and half handicap course now showed itself First he was level with the black, then gradually, stride by stride, he drew away from Diab1o and finished a short length in front.
 A great trial" cried the trainer.

 The two boys cantered their mounts down to the quarter post carelessly, as though they were going around to the far side. The wine-red bay, The Dutch man, cantered with gentle, lazy grace. His head. somewhat high carried, was held straight and true in front, and his big eyes searched the course with gen tie inuuisitiyeness.
 He's lovely horse,' commented Crane
 "He's all that, but just look at the other devil
 Diablo was throwing his nose fret fully up and down, ID and down; grab ping at the bit; pirouetting from one side of the course to the other, nearly pulling Westley over his neck one min ute, as with lowered head he sought to break away, and the next dashing for ward for few yards with his head stuck foolishly high. like a bad mouthed Indian cayuse. ....
 But Westley'H manage him." Lang- don confded to Crane, after 6 period of silent observation: he'll get his bel- ly full of runnin' when he's gcne a mile and quarter with The Dutchman. Gadi that was neat; here they come; /" for the two boys had whirled with sud- den skill at the quarter post, and broke away. with Diablo slightly in the lead. My God! he can move" muttered Langdon, abstractedly, and quite to himself. He saw only great, striding black horse coming wide-mouthed up the stretch. At the blacks heels, with dogged lope, hung the bay.
 Take him back, take him back, Westley," yelled Langdon. leaning far out over the rail as the horses raced by, Diablo well in front
 The trainers admonition seemed like cry to a cyclone, as void of useful ness. What power could the tiny dot lying close hugged far up on the strain ing black neck have over the galloping fend?
 Yes, that's the way" Langdon said nodding his head to Crane, and jerking 8 thumb out toward the first turn in the course, where the two horses were hugging close to the rail; that's the way he's worked here"
 (Which one?' asked his companion

TIE LAND OF OPH|R

 King Solomon with Gold
Abyssinia One of the Many Countries Which Has Been Credited with Possessing the Famous
 Mines.

Had King Solomon realized one-half the effort which the world would put forth to locate the source of his unlim- tied supply of gold, it is reasonably certain that that wise, and, apart from his thousand wives, good man would have left explicit and reliable instruc- uons to guide to the spot, but, not wlthstanding the fact that he still cas- fly holds rank as the wisest man the world ever knew, he did not have keen ness of vision enough to see the eager, persistent search which would be made for the land of Ophir, the place from which King Solomon's mines poured forth their great stream or yell low gold. Ophir has been located in India, Arabia and Africa, and there seems to be considerable argument which may be advanced in favor of the claims of each of these places. In ad- dition to these, Smiths Bible diction- ary tells us that Calmet regarded it as in Armenia; Sir Walter Raleigh thought it was one of the Molucca islands, while Arias Montanus, led by the similarity of the word Parvaim,
