SUDDENLY they paused, their hands
met. their eyes started, their faces
blanched.
What is that?" cried Deneau, for
In the distance they could hear the
sound of many voices. which echoed
with awful distinctness throughout
the caverns behind them.
Their faces became ashen, and they
stood rooted to the spot. The sounds
grew nearer and the tramp of feet
could be heard.
"Out with the lights" cried Deneau.
The lights were extinguished and

who was again creeping forward into
the chamber. Come" he continued.
La Prade rushed to the side OF his
companion. and the two were soon
pulling and tugging at small device,
which seemed to be half-buried in the
rocky wall. it is impossible to des-
cribc the look upon the faces OF the
men as they gazed at this strange
little machine--a look Of mingled
alarm and triumph.
They worked desperately, frantic
ally. but the iron moved not nor did
any result accrue from their labors.
What Is II for?' asked La Prade,
as he was on the verge of despair.
Wait" cried Deneau, I'VE have not
yet pressed 1t downward" and he
then began pushing and pulling, his
eyes ablaze with excitement. when
suddenly there was a grating sound,
and the two started back in amaze
ment. for one side of the wall seemed
to fall slowly apart, revealing to their
astonished gaze another room. Into
the opening they madly plunged, and
thrusting their lights forward, they
beheld rows of little bags, piled one
upon the other in perfect order.
The scene that followed this dis
covery was indescribable.
Deneau. unmindful of all danger,
a.
pearance of so much treasure, shouted
in triumph and waved his torch wildly
above his head. crying:
I'VE are now kings-Kings of the
Earth-Rulers of Nations-richer
than Croesus-hurrah! hurrah!"
The fat eyes of La Prade bulged
and sparkled. and he. too, shouted in
nm ecstasy OF joy.
Deneau removed one of the bags
and read the number on 1t.
II shall soon see what they con-
tain,' and he tried to break the end,
but in vain.
Burn It," cried La Prade, "hold the
torch to 1t. and the fastenings will
give way"
Deneau seized the torch and applied
1t to the end of the bag. Immediately
the material of which 1t was made
began to soften and melt away, and
thousand brilliant lights flashed from
within. He had opened the one that
contained the great diamond.
Let us hurry" said he. his eyes
afire, and his hand trembling, and one
little bag after another was opened
and emptied of its contents, until
their rubber sacks were filed with
jewels and bank notes.
They could carry no more-they
would return for the balance.
They now stood gazing upon the
treasure as IL 10th to leave the en-
chanted chamber, but at last La
Prade found his tongue.
I'VE cannot remove all of it." he
said with a sigh.
I'VE will return" replied Deneau

We are always in these days en-
deavoring to separate intellect and
manual labor; We want one man to
be always thinking and another to be
always working, and We call one a
gentleman, and the other an opera
tive; whereas, the workman ought
often to be thinking and the thinker
often to be working, and both should
be gentlemen in the best sense. AS
it is, We make both ungentle, the one
