"I'll take you there not to-day, it is too far; but to-morrow Til show you where it is, v.vA shall take it to her, and never se? me again." "I will take you with me if I go, Lola," I ssi&. - She Mi&ok her head, and covered her ts.ee- with her hands. x "o, no, you will never see me again," she said, and then a violent fit of coughing attacked her, and she left the room, closing the door after her. Brace looked at me significantly, and in a low voice, that faltered a little, a5d : "It ain't liat'ral for her to give in like tliitt it ain't like the Kid, not a Her contrariness and obstinacy t.jrid to make me wild, but it didn't Lsake my heart ache like this." Lola came back in a little while, weak and exhausted, but with a smile v.pon her poor face. She sat close to i.ie. slipping her hand under my arm, r. nd resting - her cheek against my shoulder. Her love was too innocent, - she was too ignorant of social usages i know restraint. i j3ou t want to talk; it hurts me," shz said. "I just want to sit here MVuet," and she closed her eyes, nest f still closer.

It's got to be looked for in onor'nary places, and fetched out in onor'nary ways, as I've said more'n once before to you; and my meanin' is that I could do the same if I had the siieaus, and if so be the Kid keeps her i'li-omlse as I do believe she will." Lola nodded, without taking her 'head Sfroia my shoulder, or opening her eyes, nd a little sigh fluttered up from her heart. "As I know she will I'll do it; not for the sake of the gold; 'cause that vron't be needed when we've got the diamond but just to prove the pren ceple of the thing. It's down an al mighty hole up the Sierra nearly up to the snow-line and I've been there pros pectin' it day after day and studyin' the thing out and I didn't leave it till the snow forced us to come down, and low the hole's blocked up for months. Suddenly raising her head, and turn big to her father, with eager eyes Lo a exclaimed: "Blocked'." "Ah, blocked for full three months by the snow, and for another by .the swelled fall; it'll be pretty well June afore I kin get down." Lola burst into a fit of hysterical laughter, and, clapping her hands with joy, cried: . . . . "It is down there the diamond! You uyast wait months almost till June." Then growing suddenly grave, she looked wistfully at me, as if to see jf 1 "svere angry with her. CHAPTER XVII.

Howjever, it won't he none too long for me to hoe along oi you, and so be you're agreeable to kavin' our company, it ain't likely I'll hold oft'." Lola's eyes dilated with eager e hghr. I fancy her imagination pic-tiu-ed a return of the Transvaal times, the happiest she had known, when rude necessity knit us together in close companionship. I did not think it Necessary to undeceive them then, and Le net day I took them with me to fcan Diego. The sun was shining when got there, and the air was soft and warm; it was like an early day of Eng Ji summer. fhe effect on Lola was miraculous; ' '- seemed inspired with new life.

Brace, who never let anything in the world surprise him, stroked his chin reflectively ..as1 he looked, round him, and said: .- ' . . . "This is your , lot, is it, Gentleman Thorne?" ' "I-shall be better able to call it mine when I have paid up .the capital in vested in it. As you- know, I had no money of Iny own. I have-borrowed heavily, and until the loan is paid " I shrugged my shoulders. "Until it's paid," said Brace, contin uing my sentence, "you've got to go to bed late and get up airly, and be thank ful hef you kin sleep sound in betwixt. I reckon it'll take you a pretty consid erable time afore you feel you don't know what to do with yourself." "A long while," I said gravely. "How long?" asked Daio, quickly, under her breath. "Oh, many, many years, perhaps." 1 replied. ,. 1" i ' ' ? ' She did not attempt to conceal her satisfaction! . . - ' ? .. - .., I gave the girl a wiry little horse; she sat on it for the" first time with the grace and mastery of a trained horse woman." Every morning 1 rode the plantation; sometimes business took me to the city she never failed to be by my side on these occasions-. But When I had work to do, it was another thing. She hated work, and dreaded tranquility; she found an escape from both in a wild gallop among the foothill?-. She became coquettish, with regard to her appearance. When she couM coax a dollar out c her father, she would gallop off to San Diego to buy some trifle for. the adornment of her pretty little person. If by, my manner she fancied I jipproved the new addition, she wore it till she could replace it with something else; hut if I failed to notice it, or she thought it was not to my taste, she would "fling it away be fore it was a day old. She abandoned herself to the enjoyment of the new life that came to her, and for some time she seemed neither to remember the past nor think of the future. Under these conditions all traces of illness disappeared, and with health returned something of her oid mutin ous independence; paternal authority once more sank into insignificance. ' Brace quickly found occupation, and after a time rendered me invaluable assistance in the management of the business. One day as we were re turning from the packing sheds, he said: "I've looked around this consarn pretty careful, and I see, sir, that you're gojn' to do a great thing here. You've found out jest where the real grit o' this country la3s, and you're goin' to work it up into an almighty pile. "That's what you're goin' to do, and I'm everlastih' glad of it, for more rea sons than one. And one reason is this I'm gettin' more duberous every day whether we shall ever get the Great Hesper. For, fustly, when the frost breaks up, the great hole where the gel hes hid the stone may be swep' out as clean as a gun baril by the torrent of melted snow, or it may be blocked up for everlastin by the mass of rock that comes rollin' down from the moun tain sides every spring; and, secondly, the Kid may change her mind. She may back out of the promise she gave us when she was sick. Iiec'lect her mother was a greaser, and consiquent ly it's nat'ral to her to tell lies when they'll serve her purpose to make out the diamond ain't no longer where she put it. Bear in mind also, sir, as she warn't herself when she made the promise, and 'that she's been gettin' more herself since. f Her obs'nacy and deviltry's comin back more and more every day, and she's now almost the obs'nate contrairy little cuss she was. Keep on bearin' in mind that she stole th diamond purposely to separate you from Miss Lascelles, and bring you down to a or'nary workin' man again. I see her game the day we lost the dia mond; I see it clearer 'an ever when we got over to Petersville she was that angry when I told her there was no good to be done minin' in' the or 'nary way so eager fer me to write andtell you there wds a going, for the stufX down the big hole. Now, for tune to be made soon as I hit on the idea of what's she to -git by givin' up the diamond a little wuss than nothin'. Which Is why I rejice in the prospect of your making a big thing of this 'ere orange growin'. Still, sir, we ain't goin' to lose that diamond, If we can help; it and we.'ve got two things to do. We're got tokeep our eye on the snow, and get. down the great hole afore the wust of the slush and rock comes tumblin' down, and we're got to make the Kid believe as things down here is so jolly flourish ln''as we don't kere two straws wheth er we find the thing or not. You leave that to me. I'll pitch it in strong to her!" t And he kept his word. Every day he exhausted his stock of adjectives in glorifying the estate and dilating ipon the marvelous results to be obtained from fruit culture, and occasionally he referred to the Great Hesper with such contempt that one would have thought it was hardly worth stretch its oyt one's hand to take. This had the effect Brace desired. iShe listened in moody silence, and after I had turned the subject she would sit with her chin in her hands her elbows on her knees, and her great sad eyes fixed upon some distant ob-, ject, wrapped in dreamy meditation. But Brace was not content with this. One day I overheard him talking to Lola when they were alone. - "I reckon we shall to have to show off our good p'irtfs-, my geli before the 'Squire and his daughter come here, or we shall look pretty mean, by com parison, and Gentleman Thorne will sorter feel sick, seein' us hangin' around. He'll say to hiself, nat'ral like well, here's this squire and his daughter, as I've done nothin in par tickler for, has set me up in a busi ness asli"goin to make meFhe most eternal all-fired millionaire that teve lived; and, on the other hand, here's this durned bid Judge, as skercely earns his salt, and the Kid, as I've missed and saved twice from dyin right out, and all they've ever done for me is to rob me of all I hed, and do their level best to clean me out and ruin .me" He might have, continued, being of a persevering " sort, but that Lola ran away to her room, Tlalmnied the door, and burst into a fit of crying that could be heard ivhere I Sat on the terrace. ' - . CHAPTER XVIII, . I had written a few hurried lines from Sacramento telling Sir Edmund that Lola had taken the Great Hes per, and intended to restore it as soon as the snow had melted and allowed us to reach the cavern in which it was concealed. In answering this letter he wrote i "After reading your good hews, Ed ith' and t went for a stroll through the park, where we encountered poor Van Hoeck, whose woe-begone appear ance appealed more to Edith's heart and mine also.' 'Why,' she asked, 'should we any longer treat him as a possible scoundrel nw that the Braces admit having taken the diamond?'. We. turned back, overtook . Van Hoeck and told him what had . happened. The poor wretch was overcome with emo tion, not because of the possible re covery of the iost didmond (of which he entertains strong doubt),- but in being once more treated as an honest man." - Now, did Van Hoeck deserve "to be treated as an honest' man? That wa& the question; I will give here Brace's account bf what occurr i in the woods, and as near as I can in his own words. "When we parted company in. the wood," he said, "I hunted around for Israel, as was my intention, you will remember. I found him crawliu' like a varmint of a reptile through the ferns. I fetched him into a conven ient spot, and says I, .'Israel, I ses 'you air goin' to prophesy" what has gone of the Great Hesper: It's not a hard job, if you give yer iniud to it 'Tain't nsthih'. near so hard as pro phesying what's goin' to be.' "I had hold on him by the arm. All of a suddint, he flings himself round, grapples on to me, and 'fore I'm aware of anyfhin', I'm on my back, and his two thumbs is inter my windpipe. I never thought he'd got it inter him such strength and agility and I'll al low he would have strangled me he! the Kid hadnt come up in the nick and frightened him by singing out for you. I did not lose any time, and when I had shown I was as strong as him, with a little bit to spare, I got him to prophesyk He wanted a plaguey lot of perswadin', and he got it; but when he couldn't stand no more on it, he let on that it was inside a rotten wil ier alongside a pond in the holler. I didn't kr.ow no pond, but I ketched sight of the Kid sneakin' off, end I jest sneaked after her, takin' Israel along, case he mighter made a mistake in his Jograpiy. There was no walking fast with Israel over the brambles, end 1 .lost sight of the Kid; but it stood to reason the holler was down hill, so down I went the way the Kid had gone, near as I could reckon, and there was the pond and the rotten wilier all as he had prophesied, . nd there at the foot of the wilier was the empty case, but nary diamond. I cocked my eye around, end once more I ketched sight" of the Kid sneakin' off. I went for her naf rally, but I might jest as well went for a torn-tit. She got clean out er sight about the same time's I got outer wind. But Israel wouldn't give up, and we hunted about for tlie Kid till we couldn't neither of us hunt any more; then we sat down in commit tee, and, after pretty warm discussion, we came to the unanimous conclusion that, fur the sake of every one con cerned, we had. better get rid of the leather case and say nothin' about it. J laid it down that the Kid had not took .the diamond for mere mischief. She knew, in her own greaser way, that the thing had a power in it to bring happiness .to the owner- like a charm. She see tiEat Tfc clothed us de cent and lodged us comfortable, am. that while it separated you and her, it brought you and squire's daughter together. And we laid it down mutual that the Kid had too much gumption to pitch the thing away, but would hide it somewhere where sue could fetch it bimeby. Now, hef we'd done other ways what would have happened? Van Hoeck ud have declared it was all a lie, and the wild horses wouldn't er dragged the secret outer the Kid. The only hope of gettin' back the Hesper was ter let her play her game and watch her close." A copy of this statement I sent to Sir Edward, and I added: "Either Van Hoeck is possessed ot supernatural clairvoyance, or he must have been in complicity with the man who took the diamond from me.

Th Sand Clay Bltthod. yi.OV HE value of good roads and l J the methods in which the Q I O good roads movement is xi i. sometimes given an impe- MOJf ' tus is shown in various ways, therefore, it might be said in this connection that the sand-clay method originated in the following very gimble manner: A few years ago a South Carolina farmer had occasion to dig a pit near the highway, and wishing to get rid of the 'Clay he spread It on a piece of sandy road. In doing this he "builded better than he knew," as that was the beginning of the im provement of the roads in his county. Perhaps more has been accomplished In the real permanent improvement of the country roads With this simple ad mixture of sand and clay ih South Carolina than in any dber State. Af ter constructing two and one-half miles of ordinary macadam road, at a cost of from $2000 to $3006 per mile, it was decided td try Lie simpler and cheaper plan of spreading sand over the clay roads and clay over the deep sandy roads. It was not easy to determine the amount of, sand needed in the one case, or of clay in the other, to pro duce the best final result. Couse quehtly it has been necessary to studv thefesulting road surfaces for several months, in some cases adding more sand where the surface showed a ten dency to give way under the traffic in wet weather, or in other cases adding more clay where the tendency was for the surface to break up during the dry season. First, the roads were cut to a grade of from two to three per cent., then the surface was given the proper section for shedding water, this surface slope being kept sufficiently gentle to permit the water to run off slowly and not to carry the sand with it. The eand. or clay was then hauled in wagons, usually short distances, and spread over the surface a thickness ol from two to six inches. The mixing of the sand and clay was done by thf ordinary travel and the surface was finally packed by the wide-tire wagons and a horse roller. Many of these roads, which are twenty-five to thirty feetr wide, cost for grading and sur facing about $3000, while others under more favorable -conditions cost about $2000; and in a few places where little grading was-necessary, material was near at hand, and convict labor was used, thig Avork was done at a cost not exceeding $150 per mile Richland County in which Columbia. I. O ; State capital, is located, takes the lead in this method of improving the - public highways. Progressive Farmer. " . National Road Mak1n?. The latest plan in road building is to reconstruct the old Federal road con structed in tlie early years of the coun try and intended to connect the Easl and WesL It cost the Government $7,000,000, but was allowed to get out of repair when railroads came into ex istence. The idea is to ask the Gov ernment to rebuild this road, which extends across Maryland, Pennsyl vania, West Virginia, Ohio and In diana, and would thus give a highway from the Atlantic Cooast to the Central West. Of course the-excellent State road systems of the Northeastern States could be connected with this system at some point in Pennsylvania. It looks as if the automobile owners would be the greatest Users of a road of this kind; and A plan to use Uncle Sam's money should provide for some kind of a special tax which would make the owners of these machines pay a proportionate share of the cost It is becoming ganer&liy Recognized that roads are quickly worn out when freely used by automobiles which rap idly wear away the surface covering. While a National road would be an ex cellent thing for travelers in general, it would serve as a connecting link for the rapidly oxtending systems of State roads. Considerable care should be taken at the start in establishing a precedent, and making the persons pay for the road who are likely to use i' most. Boston Cultivator. Better Roads Increase Tallies.

She decides this usually when she has the hat on, and then she pats in the flowers from the supply in her . room.- She has .jeen at the opera this year with a white and a black hat. Each has beeii trimmed in turn with mauve orchids, pink att& ted carnations. FeW:. of hex friends have ever noticed the peculiarity, for the reason that they have taken the flowers for the usual artificial decorations. i She confessed the secret to a friend the other day. after the woman had asked her how she same to buy two hats identical but for the flowers. Then she told of her weakness. "But suppose it should be found out?" her friend suggested, "It never has been, though," the fa mous singer answered. "The nearest anybody ever came to it was to re mdrif how' extremely natural the flow ers looked--'attBrQst like real J one wom an observed." , The Daughter's Salary. ' Wher6 & girl must serve as either governess, nurse or companion in her' own home, there is no color of reason for refusing her wages, writes Martha McGulloch-Williams, in Good House-Keeping.- If not the full amount an outsider would demand, all that can be fairly afforded.- And where a whole' family has reached adult age, it is in disputably just that those who earn: money outside the home should pay part of it to those who do the toane keeping. With several daughters, the household empire may be divided inttf provinces, and parceled out according to adaptation. Let the jolly, outdoor girl, who loves everything animate, be supreme in the dairy or poultry yard, and entitled to half the increment thereof If family needs require more" than half, buy of her as of any outside person. Similarly let the slender crea tive who needs air and sunshine have the garden under a like agreement, the orchard and vineyard as well, if suchV things there be. With no more than a small- hothouse, there are chances of profit. Money makes the mare go and a great many other things beside. - Housekeeping proper, chamber work, the' care of books, keeping accounts, work as" social secretary, all, all, may provide employment . that will help toward family harmony. If none of these things appeal to some particular inmate, let her go out and -away, to find the thing she is really fit to under take. This is written primarily as re gards daughters, but in exceptional cases it applies with equal force to growing sons. A share in the prospec tive profits will keep a boy .tthlngs, When all else mignt iaii. . A bit 6t lifirht or turauoise blue adds - a becoming touch of color to an Eton costume of a gray mixture, ' A wide silver filaffree buckle is as handsome, on a white silver girdle as the gold ones that are so popular. Costlv parasol handles with tips to ... match are sold in sets, and are of gold nnd silver set with iewels. carved ivory, tortoise shell and other" expeu- . sive wares. ' 1 How very pretty is an automobile r coat of white mohair with insets of the palest blue on collar and cuffs; and since mohair cleans so well nothing so pretty could be more serviceable. ,:. The Empire hats seem to us a sort of - extreme style; indeed they cannot be ;. worn by everyone, but they are ex ceedingly rich in detail! Even then- the buckle is very likely an exquisite . miniature. - . ... .. - s,. . For the bodice of a net. gown the horizontally , tucked models are espe cially pretty for young and siignt fig ures. The tucks are the same width on bodice and sleeve,, and show up es pecially well on the thin net. White linen belt5 and collar '-with-' stitched bias-bands .of bright-colored;, plaid are a fitting accompaniment to a morning costume of white linen. "Belt and collar of white polka-dotted iu color are also neat and appropriate. ! The only trimming on a skirt of a white serge costume is a wide stitched band of the material applied near the hem and down the front.
