ter nor worse, an 1. ii. D., a "fence,"
os they would have called him in his
native Whitechapel, and like him a
potential felon, and so there was no
need for any overstrained ethiuette be?
tween them.
Added to this, he knew that his
"boys" muet by this time be getting a
very nice little collection of gems to?

ural anxiety about them now that this
detestable nbw law had about doubled
both the legal power of search and the
penalties for being found ont
Loo Chai's almond eyes wandered
slowly from tbe dog to the Jew, and his
Bead began to wag again, bnt this time
the other way, and after a little pause
he said slowly and meditatively:
"Fifty pound tlen per cent not good

and he tapped his shaven skull gently
with one of his long nails?"which

"Me sell yoe one pieoee doggie Ava

slowly waved oue hand toward the mon?

this particular scheme presented himself
at the gate of the new compound of the
De Beers mine for hire early on the fol?

He had a very disreputable looking
mongrel under his arm, and this with
only partly intelligible eloquence be
strenuously declined to be parted from.
The officials objected, but tbe Kaffir
stuck to his point and his dog and even?
tually carried both through, for the oom
pound system was new and unpopular
then and native labor was very scarce;
so at last, as he was turning away to
offer his services elsewhere, bo was call?
ed back and allowed to take his enr in,
for he was a tine, athletic, likely look?
ing boy, and after all if the dog gave
any tronble a fatal illness would not

The Pondo proved to he an excellent
workman, and so little was seen or
fceard of tbe dog that its existence was
forgotten long before the nsoal two
months' engagement was np. "Byrne

cordance with tbe common oostom of
taking more or less grotesque English
names, found plenty of old acquaint?
ances in tbe compound, as both Loo
Chai and Mr. Lowenfeldt had foreseen
that he wonld, and by virtue of sundry
invisible transactions between bim and
them his dog improved rapidly in rai?
ne, although its presence became even
more unobtrusive than ever.
About ten days before yonng Byms

Tho reason for this leading astray of

leen in the fact that 10 p-ur cont on,
tay, ?10.000 would be ?1,000, and this,
frith the amount of tbe bill, would
uako ?1,250, which, when Mr. how

natter, seemed to be a most outrageous
[-rico to pay toa yellow skinned heathen
tot a double skinned dog, and,
ifter due deliberation, he decided not to
pray it, if he could find any means of
wading payment,
Tbe shortest and easiest way to do
thia was to procure the arrest and cou
diction of Lou Chai as an L D. B. before
the Pondo got out, and to this eud he
succeeded iu bribing Ah Foo with cash
down aud the promise of more to plant
four "traps," which he took from bis
