Hidden Treasure. of tn. ribsr.


The waters Of the Tiber are said to
cover many costly treasures OF an
tiquity. From Lake Nemi, near Rome,
many bronze ornaments and statuary
from the floating palaces Of the EN-
perors Tiberius and Caligula have al
ready been recovered. 1t has long been
the dream Of poets and the belief Of
antiQuaries that the Theirs bed con-
ceals a vast amount Of artistic treas
ures which have been flung into it
either from wanton recklessness or for
the purpose Of preservation from sac
rilege. There is a legend that Attila
buried all his treasure beneath the
river.

A dim darkness ahead already re-
vealed the nearness OF the southern
bank, when Neb's pony went down
suddenly, swept fairly of its legs BY
some fierce eddy in che stream. Keith
heard the negro's cultural cry, and
caught glimpse of him as the two
were sent whirllng down. The coiled
rope of the lar1ac, grasped in his right
hand, was hurled forth like shot,
sound reached him; his own horse
went steadily on, feeling his way, un-
til he was nose against the bank, with
water merely ripping about his ankles.
Keith driving feet again into the stir
rups headed him down stream, wading
close in toward the shore, leaning for
ward over the pommel striving to see
through the gloom.
He had no doubt about Neb's pony
making land, unless struck by some
driftwood, or borne to the center Of
he stream by the shifting force of tho
current But II Neb had failed to re-
tain his grip he might have been
sucked under by the surge of waters.
A hundred yards below he found them,
dripping and weak from the st. ,ggls,
yet otherwise unhurt. There were no
words spoken, but the black and white
hands clasped silently, and then Neb
crept back into the saddle, shivering
in his wet clothes as the cool night
wind swept against him. Keeping
close In toward shore, yet Ear enough

trail, the fugitives toiled steadily up
