' -f TKANSPLANTED. '
-' It was the biggest ball ot the season and
1 tho nssembly room of the fashionable wa
tering plaCo was looking, its gayest' and
" brightoet, thanks to lavish decoration and
' tho knloidosooplo effect produced by the
throngs of brilliantly dressed danoers as
they whirled ronnd In all the infinite va-
r jCty and picturesque incongruity of fancy
costume. i -
And yet, despite all the life and color,
thcro was something fictitious and unreal
! In tho brilliant gayety of the picturesque
scone, just as there was an undertone ot
. passionate pain in the sweet muslo of the
v walti which rang through the room, an
undertone which seemed strangely out of
harmony with the superficial enjoyment
of tho crowd. ' v ! ' '
Or was it only the look in ' a girl's face
that was out of keeping and seemed at
once to give the lie to all the hollow pre
tense of pleasure around lierf To one un
observed spectator this Idea suddenly oo
? currcd with the force of a oonviotlon. '
It was a beautiful face, beautiful alike,
in regularity of feature and exquisite del
icacy of coloring. But the smile on the
sweet mouth yras forced and full of unnat
ural gnyoty, while the great gray eyes bad
, a haunting look of. weariness whioh gave
thoin nn indescribable pathos. The girl
. was tall and slight, and the white dress
ho wore, graceful though it was, seemed
almost too rich and elaborate for her slen
tier figure. : ; . 1
ghe was young scarcely one and twenty
and looked even younger than her years,
and the man who was watching her drew
yet further back into tho shadow of the
heavily curtained doorway as a flood of
memories , rushed over him memories
held in check till now by an iron will, but
-' - released in a moment by the sight of the
.-. beautiful; sad faoe that was all the world
; to him, though for four long years it had
passed out V his life. How he had missed
'. bcr! Surelyne bad never fully realized it
till now. , i ' :
A chance remark arrested his attention.
Two men near were talking together, com
menting audibly enough on the scene be
fore them. ' , " -
"How charming Maud Carruthera is
looking tonight 1 That girl grows prettier

" Wants confirmation, I should say. He's
hard hit, and her people approvo of . him
naturally. He's well connected and fabu
lously wealthy, Ibut as to the fair Maud
herself if she is engaged to him, she
might look a little more cheerful over it."
. j" Yes, I shouldn't feel flattered in his
placo," the younger man 'assented. "She's
cot a bit like the other girls one meets
about; don't know why, but she seems
out of it somehow. " . v
"Well, ber story la rather an odd one.
you know."
"But I don't know more. Where does
1 the oddness come in. Her people are eon
I ventlonol enough." r ;
t, "Yes, but 'sho never saw them till she
Vwas 16 or 17,' for her mother, married be
'ncath her- and was cut in consequence.
The marriago turned out badly, I believe,
and Sirs. Carrutbefs - died in Australia,
where her child was brought up by- the
peoplo with whom she was staying at the
timo; rathfcr a rough and ready bringing
op, I fancy.'.' ' . i -
"Then how does she come to be here and
forgiven?" . V )
j "Oh, It all came out somehow. Car
ruthers died and then inquiries were made
as to the child's whereabouts, and she was
Itrausplanted over here; rather a- change
from her experiences in tho bush."
"An agreeable one, I should think."
"H'm, that depends on how you look at
, it I Now from her point of view we may
bo a llttlp tame and commonplace. I don't
know anything about it, mind you, but
it's' just possible she may prefer primitive
nature, to our enervating and overdone
nineteenth century civilization. To my
mind tho girl looks bored." ' ! , s
. "Then if she marries Melbourne"
"It will merely be escape from the pres
ent position. Since her grandfather's death
a year ago she has found it more weari
some than ever, or I'm much mistaken.
' Sho was really fond of poor old Drayoourt,
but for the rest of them JPon my soul,
j I'm sorry for the girl 1" . .
- The muslo ceased and the speakers
moved away as the. long procession of
dancers began to paco out into the cooler
air of the long, flower decked corridor. ,
. But the man near them still kept his
place in the deep shadow of the curtains
' and watched with eager oyes to see that
tall, white- robed figure pass through the
doorway. . .'.'. ,
. But he watched in vain. - He had lost
eight of her just before the dance ended
and she had no doubt left the ballroom by
some- other door. From the station he had
chosen he could oommand the whole room,
agdho Boon saw that Maud Carruthera
wjs no longor there.
1. And tonight he held every moment
wasted in which she was out of his sight.
For the last time it was for the last time
. and already tho precious moments were
slipping rapidly away 1
, He must find her again, even though in
order to do so; he must risk discovery and
recognition. ' '
! Littlo risk that she would recognize him
1 after four years and in such widely dlff er-j-ent
surroundings l His dress, too, with its
! heavy cloak and broad, somber hat, would
f surely be a sufficient disguise if she should
still chance to retain slight recollection of
her old friend and would be brother, the
man under whose jroof all her happy child
hood had been passod.
And even if she did know him, what
' then? ' '
Ho was surely capable of keeping bis
secret still, ns he had kept it in the old
:ys. Sho was littlo likely to guess it now
in all the pride of her triumphant youth
and boauty now when so manyyounger,
. richer men were at her feet. Oh, be knew
his place! And he smiled grimly to him
self. -Had
not her self complacent relations
been careful to point it out to him most
considerately, no. doubt four years agof
Certainly there was little likelihood of his
forgetting now. No, there. could be no
, real risk in the meeting should they
chance to meet. No possible risk for her,"
and for himself he would gladly give the
ton best years of his life just to bear her
voice again, just to meet her gray ayes
once more with . the old frank smile in
thorn that he knew so -well. i
No possible risk no; he had been a fool
and coward ever to think of it, and his
resolution to keep out of ber way the res
olution that he had thought so wise and so
good was entirely foolish and unneces
sary. . She need never know the reason of
his brief visit "home." Why should not be
have business in England as well aa an
other man, and how should she suspect
the mad desire to see her face once more
that had brought him from the other side
of the world? , X
Thus thinking if ' indeed, the rapid
stream of recollections, suggestions and
reassuring convictions that rushed through
his mind could rightly be dignified with
; the name of thought he strode boldly out
into the corridor, a sotloeable figure
enough from his commanding stature and
grand breadth of shoulder. Many eyes fol-
owed him as be passed between the banks
of flowers with whioh the wide corridor
Was lined on either aide, and many were
he Eneonlajtlons aa to who, he was and why
be was at the ball, since bo spoke -to trb
one and nobody seemed to know blm.v But
he passed on, unconscious alike of admir
ing eyes and fruitless speculation.
I Meantime Maud had suffered - her part
ner to lead her to a wide window seat at
the farther end of the corridor from that
where her old friend was seeking her. The
girl's face looked strangely pale now that
the flush dancing had brought. to it had
died away, and there was an expression of
something very like .despair in her wide;
"gray eyes as she listened . to. her compan
ion's eflger words. ., 1- . -v"- v.v
V You know you promised me my an-i
swer tonight, Maud, and we mayn't have
such a chance again. No one has found
out this corner yet, but It won't esoapo the
observation of the crowd long. I've waited
patiently and haven't bothered you a bit
and now at lost time's up. . You won't
ask me to wait any longer!" A look of
sudden dismayelouded the boyish bright
ness of his faoe as he spoke, but only for a
moment. ;s - iv
"No, I won't ask you to wait any lon-ger"-the
girl's words came slowly and
with, an evident effort "but why dq you
want me to say yes, when you know that
I don't care for you? No, hear me out,"
as he would have Interrupted her. "I like
you, but I don't care for you in that way
and I never shall."
"But you will, Maud: you must when
you boo how awfully fond I""
, "No, I never shall, I know. If you in
sist on marrying me, you shall at least do
it with your eyes open, Mr. Melbourne."
"Oh, don't speak to me like that!"
"Byt I feel to you like that, and I must
speak as I feel. .Feel!" with swift self
scorn. "What have I to do with feeling at
all If I marry you, It will be to escape
from my present life to get away from
myself from the everlasting, purposeless
round of dances and dinners. I have told
you this before."
"Yes, and I have told you: that I love
you." , : .
"And yet you don't hesitate?"
'"For myself, no.", He was sitent a mo
ment, a look of most unusual Indecision
on his face. "But you put things differ
ently tonight," he said at length. "You
say you know you shall never care for, me.
I don't see how you can know that un
less" V -: . , .! !.-
'lUnless" She- faced him bravely,
though a sudden flush showed she already
grasped his meanings i - s '
- "You care for some one else," he said
very deliberately. "Do you, Maud?"
Did she? ; . . : '
For a moment he thought she was go
ing to break into indignant denials, then
all at once her face softened and changed
and the light of a wonderful joy flashed
into It as she sprang to her feet exclaim
ing: :
"Denzill At last 1"
Young Melbourne turned I in astonish
ment. Whown8 this stately looking man
that Maud, should go to meet him with
outstretched hands of welcome and bril
liant, rapturous smile?
' No matter who he was, the boy felt that
his question was answered. He took his
dismissal quietly and left them without 'a
word, nor did any one see him again that
night: ' :
And Denzil? '
At the Bight of Hand's eager eyes and
sweet, well remembered smile, he forgot
all his 6tern resolutions and carefully cul
tivated convictions. He had never even
dreamed of the possibility of such a meet
ing as this, and the glad recognition that
rang in her voice fairly swept him off his
feet, strong, self contained man though he
was. . ) - . "; . - .
- For she loved him. He saw it in her eyes,
heard it In her voice, knew it at last, as
tonishing, well nigh impossible fact
though it was, and, this being so, nothing
could come between them ; no proud, dis
dainful relations could - part them any
more, and when Denzil C lax ton returned
to Australia after his brief visit was over
his wife accompanied him, and great was
the wrath and indignation among the
Draycourts, who had tried so hard to make
her in all respects one with themselves,
only to fail so signally at the last.
But Maud was happy, and once back
again among Denzil's people and all the
congenial associations of the past she soon
regained the bright serenity and sunny
sweetness of naturo which she bad well
nigh lost In that alien land to, which un
kind fate and Denzil's stern sense of duty
had for a time transplanted her. House

This . last speech was j from , my . old
comrade, Tom French. We were in the
interior of - Central. America when' thfl
foregoing conversation 1 took place. It
was the end of many a long debate we
had had on the subject of a search for a
treasure.' - - '"
The legend was briefly that deep " in
the center of a crater of a wornout vol
cano the ancient Indians of that coun
try had -excavated . a vault where thev
had piled .up countless bars of virgin
gold. There was above this planted n
bowlder, the only indication of the hid
ing place. The peculiarity of the cratet.
was that it was four square, half a mils,
each way, and from the summit to the
floor, a distance of 600 feet. - To reach
the floor; there was a hidden path and,
this was guarded by a mysterious gold
en band. Tradition, the Indians said.
made it possible to locate the mountain

Were three other peaks forming a straight
line.- in the central mountain was the
treasure. :
Few burdens could be carried with
us in that hign, rare atmosphere, and
! we were soon on our way with old Za-
petl shaking his head, as if in predic
tion of disaster. Hardened as we were
by Our out of door life, the strain Was
terrible. . We lost our way repeatedly
and found ourselves confronted by vast
crevices in our pathway up the mountain
side. Wide detours, costing us half a
day and sometimes a day of valuable
time, were perforce' made, only to find
ourselves at the top of a precipice that
barred our progress. .7 We had with in
finite trouble climbed two lofty moun
tains, only to find ourselves at the sum
mit out of . range of other mountain
towns, as demanded by the legend, when
I finally refnsed to go farther. It was
suicidal Half our provisions and water
were gone. But Tom pleaded for one
more chance. "Do yon see that long
range?" he cried. "It's in one of those.
Let's make one more attempt." In mis
taken pity for him I yielded. , .-
-As we reached the summit, behold I
there were three mountain peaks in a
row. " Tom sprang forward and after
another struggle we were at the top of
the central mountain. - As we approach'
ed the top it could be seen that there
had been volcanic action in ages past.'
Zapetl's eyes were rolling in every di
rection, on the lookout for s6me super
natural phenomenon. Suddenly bursting
through, dense fringe of bushes we.
found ourselves on the very edge of a
vast crater. .As with common impulse
we looked to the center, and there was
an immense bowlder. '. "At last," cried
Tom, "at .last!" ; Then be ran his eye
along the -verge," scanning it foot by
foot "The path," he almost screamed,
and ho stumbled along at a pace that,
exhausted as we were, we could scarce-
, ly maintain. "Take care, Tom," I man
aged to ejaculate, though I was nearly
aa wild as bo. But Tom apparently
heard nothing. ; He had eyes, and ears
only for the ono goal.
The path along the side of the' preci
pice, we could see, led upward from the
wide floor of Jhe . arena far below ns
but the top was concealed from our . in
tent gaze by a dense mass of shrubbery.
Around (he Eides of the crater we half
stumbled, half rah. When we reached
the spot where we I thought it possible
to strike j.npon - the opening, we made
dashes here and there into the greenery.
After many disappointments a cry from
Tom told me the path had been found.
Zapetl by this time was in a state, of
collapse through fear and fatigue. Again
I warned Tom to exercise caution, but
he plunged ahead,' and I followed as
slowly as I could. The path downward
was not more than a foot in width, and
it required all my strength and dexteri
ty to keep my footing. Suddenly-on
.rounding a , sharp angle in the face of
the precipice I was confronted by a flat
rock five minutes' climb further down.'
It seemed to be set in the face of the
crater and to jut out, cutting off further
progress : in that direction. The rock
was of a peculiar reddish yellow color,
and, on looking more intently, it seem
ed to take upon itself the shape of, a
. monstrous hand. ; It flashed over me all
at once this was . the golden hand of
the Indian's legend. I called to. Tom,
btrfc he was far below me. "Tom, the
rock " I cried hoarsely, and my .own
voice' sounded strangely in my ears.
But Tom had already reached it Sud
denly a scream of anguish I shall never
forget rose in that awful stillness, and
in another instant I saw that ponderous
hand of golden stone sink lower, still
lower. Another scream wilder than be
fore and Tom's form could be seen striv

J- ; A Terrible Faolshment. --"...1
j Herr Hager, a -wealthy and ao
sen minded -banker, frequently had
watches picked from his pocket. At
first he had recourse to all kinds of
safety chains ; then one fine morn
ing he took no precaution "whatever,
and quietly allo-wed himself to be
rohbed. t - .
j At night, on returning from busi
ness, be took up the, evening paper,
j-when he uttered, an ekolamation of
'delight. A -watch had exploded in a
'man's hands. The hands of the vio
tim -were shattered and the left eye

A Serious; Joke.
A prank on the part of a number
of students of the high j school at
DelavanWia.; led to their expulsion
from sohool. r JTh& students pur
chased cayenne pepper and placed it
in, the fan that' sends air through
tho ventilators in the ; schoolrooms.
It not only set the -whole schoolroom
sneezing and coughing, but nearly
destroyed the eyesight of the'engi
neer, -who -was looking for the cause
of the trouble.
Gladness Comes
With a better understanding1 of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
foBts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There, is comfort in
the knowledge, that so; many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-.
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup'of Figs, prompt
. ly removes.- That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial :
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
'.one. remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating.-the
: organs On which it acts. It is therefore
. .all important, in order to get its bene
filial effects, to note when you pur-
" chase, that you have the genuine arti-
' iCle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig- Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists., i - - -
" If in the enjoyment oi good health,
jand the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed.'' If
-afflicted with any actual disease, one
may. be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,'
one: should hare the best, and with the
welfchiformcd everywhere, Syrup of
Figstahd3 fiigliest and is most largely
used and cives most general satisfaction.
