hope of finding the ruin. but all in vuin. At
last, in ahwr unnoyunco, Istrnck the sharp
pit-knx down into the soil, which was of a
very hard nature. To my astonishment it
sunk in right up to the heft.
“ ‘Why, Hnn'y,‘ I said, 'this groinid must
have been disturbed !‘
" ‘I don‘t think so, father,” he answered,
‘but We will sun“ set nnd he began to shovel
out the soil with his hands. 'Uh!‘ he said
pl‘mently, 'it's only some old stones; the pick
has gone down lu-tnu-n thmn. Look!‘ And
he began to pull at. one of the stones.
" ‘I say, clad,’ he slid presently, almost in
u whisper, ‘it's pwcious heavy; feel it;l and
he rose and gave me a round, brownish lump
about the size of u very large apple. which
no was holding in both his hands. I tool: it
curiously and held it up to the light, It was
very heavy. The moonlight fell upon its
rough and tllth encruiaed surface, and as]
looked curious little thrills of excitement
began to plus through me. But I could not

“He did so; and resting the brown stone

heavens, it was soft!
“Another wound and the bli'l‘ct was out:
We had found a {tn-at nugget of pure gold,
four pounds of it or more. ‘lt's gold. lml,’ 1
mid, ‘it‘s gold, lad, or I'm at Dutchman.‘
"Hairy, with his eyes starting out: of his
heal, glared down at the long gleaming yel

metal, and then burst out into yell upon yell
of exultation, that Went ringing away norm)
the silent claims like the shrinks of somebody
being murdered.
“ ‘Be quißt,‘ I said, 'do you want every
thief on the field after you."
“Sourcely were the words out of inymontb
when I heard a stealthy foobtep approach
ing. Ipromptly put the big nugget down
and sat on it, and uncommonly hard it was,
and as I did so I saw a lean, durk face poked
over the edge of the claim and a pair of
heady eyes searching us out. I knew the i
face. It belonged to a man of very bad ehar- ‘
actor known as Handspiko Tom, who had, I
understood, been so inuned at the diamond
was because he had murdered his matewitli
a. handspike. He was now, no doubt, prowl
ing about like a human hycna to see what he
could maul.
“ ‘ls that you, ‘unter Quatermain?’ he said.
“‘Yes, it‘s I, Mr. Tum,‘ I answered po‘
litely. '
“ ‘And what might all that there yelling
be? be asked. ‘I was walking along, a-tak

stain, when I ’enn ‘owl after ’owl.‘
“ 'lVell, Mr. Tom,‘ I answered, ‘that is not
to be wondered at, swing that, like youmlf,
they are nootin'unl birds}
“ ‘ 'le after ’owlf‘ he repeated surrnly,
taking no notice of my iiiu-rpwtntion, ‘nnd 1
stops and says, "That‘s murder,“ and I listen!
again and thinks, “No. it uin't; that ‘owl i;
tho ’owl of hexultatiou; some «Inn’s been and

swear, and gone off ’is 'ead in the sat-king

“‘No,’ said I boldly, ‘it isn‘t—the cruel

that if he once found out what it was that l

pleasant prim-m, but I wrtninly do not rec
ommend anybody who values comfort to try
sitting on it—l should'run a very good chanm
of being ‘hnndspikod’ before the night win
over.
" ‘ll you want to know what it mm, Mr.
Tom,’ I went on. with politent uir, although

hold it always but to be polite to a man whc
is so manly WK!) a. humlspiko—‘my boy and l
have had a flight dilemmas of opinion, and l
waseuforeing my View of tho nutter upon
him; that was all.‘
“ ‘Yes, Mr. Tom,‘ put in Harry, beginning
to weep, for Harry was a smart boy, and in“
the difficulty we were in, ‘thnt was it—l hal
loed because father ht'al mo.’
“ ‘ll'cll, now, did yer, my dear boy; did
yer? \Yell, all I can my i 3 that it played out

to come to for to argify at 100‘clock of nigl‘.

I’ll be saying good night, for I don‘t like dis

away disappointed, and prowlcd of! else

United States Attorney White tiled in
the districtctiurtnt Seattle Wednesday,
‘an action against the steamer J. B. Lib— '
i by. Non compliance with the statutory
requirements for vrssels of more than
‘IOO tons net burden was alleged. Ves-
Sels of this burden are required to carry
a regularly authorized pilot. amaster,
mate, engineer and a crew of two. The
Libby is a little above the 103 tons bur—
den, and the complaint avers that be
tween April lot and 27 of this year the ‘
steamer, tuen on the Port Townsend-
Whatcom route, was run by an unli~
ceased person. Theateamerthrn belong
ed by ('apt' J. ('. Brittain, of whom she
was purchased by the Port Townsend .
lTransportation Company. The penalty -
for violation of the law in this matter is
SSOO.
The general passenger and ticket
agent of the Oregon Railway & Naviga
tion company says that in arrancing
the recent time card there was no inten— 4
tion of discriminating against any place.
To the editor of the ‘t‘acoma Globe he
says: The Victoria route is part. of n
‘ihrough line from the south and cast
and it has to be accommodated in order
to enable this travel, which might oth
erwise go through Canada or by the
ocean, to pass through Tacoma. The
company has only two boats on the
Sound adapted to this route and as the
trains now run the present arrange
ment is the only practicable one by
‘wbicb direct connections can be made
at Tacoma 101- Port Townsend and Vic—
toria business. And for local travel it
furnishes an opportunity on the return
passage for seeing the Sound.
An Ottawa. Canada, special says: An
otlicer of customs, who recently visited
the Pacific coast in connection with
Chinese matters. says that the demand
for Chinese labor to any extent is at an
end in British Columbia. and that those
‘now arriving are only destined to stay a
fshort time in Canada, their object bo
ling to watch an opportunity to smuggle
3 across the line into the United States.
‘la this. he says they have no dimcnlty.
A regular business is made of smuggling
them across. Parties engaged in it
know every action of the [3.8. custom
officials, and. when the coast: is clear,
run them in loads into Washington
Territorv without any difficulty. Some
firms are largely engaged in smuggling
the products of the thirteen opium fac
torics in operation in Victoria across
the line.
It is said to be the purposc of the
Northern Pacific to secure soon by chur
ter or otherwise. a line of passenger
steamers to run between the Sound and
Yokohama. Hong Kong and other Asia—
tic ports. This arrangement will place
the N. P. and Sound cities in competi
tion with tho (‘entral and Southern Pa.
cific and San Francisco for the travel
and traflic westward across the Pacific.
The Tacoma Journal says: “This is sure
to come; first, because there will he more
transcontinental lines of railroad termin~
sting on Puget Sound than at San Fran
ciscu; and second, because of such fact,
and because of the vast section at the
Northwestern porticn ol' the American
continent that will contribute its large
and varied commerce to Puget Sound
over these lines and there seek ocean
shipment to foreign markets. Besides.
Puget Sound as a whole constitutes one
strand harbor, equal to the shipping
fleets of the world. and will admit the
largest steamers to its Cities Without
towuge or hindrance."
