loved by you. Therefore. in the event Of
my death before you leave the island, I
wish to give you instructions how to find
gold mine Of great value which is hidden
In the rock containing the cave. You re-
member the sign on the piece of tin which
we could not understand. The figure 81
denotes the utmost depth Of the excava-
ton, and the signifies that one foot be-
low the surface, on reaching the face Of
the rock, there is rich vein of gold. The
hollow on the other side Of the cliff be-
came filled with anhydrate gas, and this
stopped the operations of the Chinese,
who evidently knew of the existence of
the mine This is all the information the
experts employed by Sir Arthur Deane
will need. The facts are unquestionable
Assuming that am alive, we will, of
course, be copartners in the mine If I
am dead, I wish one-sixth share to be
given to my uncle, William Anstruther,
Crossthwaite Manor, Northallerton, York
shlre, as a recompense for his kindness
to me during my early life. The remain

He read this remarkable document
twice through to make sure that it ex-
actly recorded his sentiments. He even
smiled sarcastically at the endowment
of the uncle who disinherited him.
Then, satisfied with the perusal, lie tore
out the two leaves covered by the letter
and began to devise means of pro-
tecting it securely while in Iris pos
session.
At that moment he looked up and
saw her coming toward him across the
beach, brightly flushed after her bath,
walking like a nymph clothed in tat
tered garments. Perceiving that he
was watching her, she waved her hand
and instinctively quickened her pace.
Even now, when they were thrown to-
gether by the exigencies of each hour,
she disliked to be long separated from
him.

the rock that she must cling to his
shoulders with unfaltering courage
while he climbed to the ledge with the
aid Of the pole and the rope placed
there the previous day. It was mag
ni1cent feat Of strength that he essay
ed. In calmer moments he would have
shrunk from its performance if only
on the score of danger to the precious
burden lie carried. Now there was no
time for thought. Up he went, hand
over hand, clinging to the rough pole
with the tenacity of a limpet and tax
ing turn Of the rope over his right
wrist at each upward clutch. At last,
breathless, but triumphant, he reached
the ledge and was able to gasp his in
structions to Iris to crawl over his bent
back and head until she was safely
lodged on the broad platform of rock.
Then before she could expostulate he
descended, this time for the rifles.
These he hastily slung to the rope,
again swarmed up the pole and drew
the guns after him with infinite care.

For two shivering hours they waited
there until the sun was high over the
cliff and filled sea and land with it's
brightness. At last, despite the girls
tears and prayers, jerks insisted on
making reconnaissance in person.
Let this portion of their adventures
be passed over with merciful brevity.
Both watch guns had been fired by a
troop Of tiny wou-wou monkeys. Iris
did not know whether to laugh or cry,
when jerks, with much difficulty, low
cred her to Mother Earth again and
marveled the while how he had man
aged to carry forty feet into the air a
young woman who weighed so solidly.
They sat down to a belated break

that the muscles Of his arms, legs and
back We're aching hugely. 1t was by
that means he could judge the true ex-

A Lesson to Southerners.

The London Post says that English
men are profoundly shocked at the DIS
covery that the International insurance
companies have been used In the interest
of Wall Street and that The premiums
of the millions OF policy holders have
been treated as the means OF private
gain and that as a consequence Euro
penn confidence In American business
integrity has been shattered.
That Is an extreme statement, but it
goes without saying that foreigners as
well as our people at home have been
amazed at tho revelations recently made
In the course of the insurance invcstiga-
lion In New York and that confidence in
these companies a, least has been ser-
cusly impaired.
we introduce the subject to-day BY way
of giving Il timely hint to the people
Of the South, and especially 10 the peo-
pie OF Virginia. We have been paying
enormous sums OF money every year in
the way OF premiums TO these Northern
companies, sending the money away from
home to be used at the North and tho
money which VIC have contributed in
this way has been used to promote the
private interests Of the managers of tho
Northern companies, 1t were bad en-

pursue such n suicidal policy and now

know thatN our confidence in such con-
