"Oblige me by getting this cashed.
"Yes, Sir"

"Sir." said Baxter, glancing down at the
slip of paper. "did YOU say half, Sir??'
ayes, Baxter. I'd take it all in gold, only
it would be rather awkward to drag around.
So, bring half in gold, and the rest in five
pound notes.
"Eery good, Sir.

"Siro"
"Certainlv, Sir" And Baxter went out,
closing the door behind him.
Meanwhile, Bellew busted himself in re-

opened the black bag, glanced inside, shut it
again, and, lighting his pipe, stretched HIM

says:
''It is impossible, of course, to tell.

will widen out or give us a big body
of ore remains to be seen, but IT can
not be said that the ground does not
promise we'll"
AS regards TO the amount OF ore

placed the figures as high as $3,OOO.-
