was a good deal in it.
''The next thing l knew was that
Wiley was dead. and it was said that he
had put his problems and his plan into
the hands of a young Englishman, dis
tant relative Of his, and had explained
everything to him. The youngster went
up-country, but the native tribes were
at war among themselves, and the expedi-
ton came to grief. Problems and plan
were lost in the wilderness. The lad
was shot, but he managed to send down
some kind Of mutilated message. He
had actually found Diamond river. There
was no mistake about that. Perhaps it
was through his fever, or he may have
written in haste and furry, but though
his one professed purpose in writing was
to tell the whereabouts of the find, he
gave no intelligence of it at all. And so
the thing died out of remembrance for
years and years. l thought that Zelkar
must be dead for certainty, for the
legend of dried up watercourse full of
diamonds as big as pigeons eggs was
common property, and he would have
been able to find any number of men to
back him. There were lots of men, too,
who knew how Wiley had meant to lock
up his secret in the chess problem.

Work and Worry.

Manual work is active, and carefully
used it may take its place as very
proper substitute for worry. 1t may
be confidently asserted that when
worry and uncertainty have given
place to a new and positive interest
of a sound and proper sort, most of
the other symptoms in uncomplicated
cases of nervous prostration will van
ish.
That, in brief, is the simple phil
osophy of work as remedy for ner-
vous strain and its untoward results.
How the principle may bear upon a
given Individual may not always be
predicted. Only experience can tell
what form of work will be the best
in given case, and whether the treat
ment may be carried out at home or
not. Sometimes, Of course, work or
effort of any kind is impossible. But
it is probable that in the great major
ity of cases coming under the head of
nervous exhaustion or neurasthenia,
the systematic use Of work under ia
vorable conditions will, to say the
least, be beneficial Good Housekeep-

A Kings PunctuaIitv.

All men agree in the abstract that
'punctuality is the soul of business"
but few act up to the maxim with the
strictness of the king Of the Belgians.
Wherever or however he may travel,
whether the visit be of business, pleas
ure or ceremony, he is punctual, not
only to the hour, but to the minute
it might also be said to the second.
And yet his majesty is never seen to
consult a watch. But his familiars
know that his habit Of passing his
hand along his flowing beard is only
a device for glancing at small watch
which he wears fastened to his wrist.

The Wise Wife.

She knows that home is more than
half what you make it, and that a
builder of happy home is a success
indeed. She knows that it takes two
to prolong a family quarrel; one can
therefore terminate it. She knows
that filling house with bargains
keeps a couple from owning the house
in which they place them. She knows
that if we thought all we said we'd
be wise, but if we said all we thought
we'd be foolish. She knows that some
people sheer at love in a cottage, but
love that could wish to live anywhere
else is not love. She knows that proud
people seldom have friends. In pros
perity they know nobody; in advei sity
nobody knows them. She knows that
to make long-lived friendships one
must be slow in making them. She
knows that sit is less pain to learn
in youth than to be igorant in old age"
She knows that if she cannot throw
brightness over her home it is best
not to throw a wet blanket over it.
She knows that the wife who thinks
she is perfect is generally the most i'm
perfect. The unwise wife may profit
by studying what the wise woman
knows.

CHAPTER Xxx


"Wiley, as l told you, had talked about
his discovery to anybody and everybody.
but he had never given a ghost of hint
as to where it lay. Nobody could have
guessed within FIVE hundred miles, even
if anybody had taken the trouble. Most
people took it for craze, but old Zelkar
believed it, and he made all these prob
lem drawings l have about me now, and
the plan of the board with its letterings.
and he used to go about offering to
guide people if they would only find
the money for the expedition and go
halves with him. He couldn't find a soul
to believe in him or his diamonds, and
when it came to Wiliey's knowledge that
the old Hebrew had offered to betray the
treasure, he swore he'd shoot him at
sight. That kept Zelkar out of Wiley's
way, as you may very well imagine, and,
with his only patron gone, the problem
worker was so hard up that he was with
out food for days together.

to much. 1t was called the Ezekiel Com

had been its founder. There were a doz-

cut-throats than you could have found

course, and we all went up-country for
a week to look at place we'd heard of.
1t turned out good for nothing. and we
came back. Zelkar was on the hard pan
once more. He offered me his problems
on parchment, saying nothing, of course,
about their meaning. / didn't want 'em,
