li'iips riirlit, 1, by Charles U. Lewis.
Uetwwu tlio tow ns of Mysore mid Coini-
butore, India, aud on tlio left bunk of a
Bt renin railed tlm llonliollay, nre tlio ruins
of tliii c or four larc villnges. The second
one west of tlie foothills of th Mysore
range of mountains is called Garrow, and
nniid (he Kenenil desolation aretho ruins
of wliat was onee n h'reat leinple. These
illaiies are only three or four out of hun
dreds to he found ill the (treat empire.
Xowandtlieu their history can be traced
hack to some terrilde plague which depop
ulated tliem in a month, and again the
desolation is due to war between trilics
and factions. As n rule no native will
approach one of thesu ruins, mid no at
tempt, is ever Hindu to rebuild the towns.
In istiS, while I was at the village of
Iiheetu, about thirty mill's from Uarrow,
the government sent a commission of three
officials to survey and inspect the village
with a view of restoring it by offering to
rebuild the temple and give free deeds to
all settlers. I was invited by the commis
sion to go along, anil this appearing a
splendid opportunity for an extended In
spection of the historic ruins I gladly ac
cepted. Including servants there wire
twelve of lis in the party. On arriving at
a small village called Mussan, six miles
east of the village we meant to survey, we
were told of some strange tilings that had
lately happened. It was declared that
spirits had taken possession of the ruins.
Strange lights had been seen flitting alsiut
at night, aud a hunter whose ardor had
led him among the ruins had beard the
sound of stones being moved and hud liecii
pelted with rocks. He had a bad bruise
on the shoulder to prove the latter state
ment. lnle the most, intelligent natives
of India are full of superstition, the com
mon villagers and farmers are so thor
oughly imbued with it that signs and
dreams guide most of their daily transac
tions. The commission was headed by an
Knglisliinim named (irant, of the civil
service. The second was a Mr. Artwell,
of the same branch, and the third a Mr.
Martin, who was a civil engTneer. Willi
them, as secretary and clerk, was a young
man named Thomsasou.
Little attention was paid to the stories
of the villagers, 'and next day we. moved
over anil camped in a grove on the st ream
about half a mile above the head of Hie
desolated town. The site was covered
wit h shrubs aud grass anil vines, and here
and there were groves of young trees. No
tigers had been seen in that neighborhood
for years, but tliu place looked like a para
dise for pant hers, wolves, hvenas and ser
pents. The town had extended along the
bank of the stream for a mile aud a half.
That evening, while we were settling down
III our new quarters, a number of stones
from some unseen assailants were sudden
ly thrown with great force at one of the
natives w ho had strayed beyond the limits
of the camp, hitting him on the head and
rendering hull lnsensihlo for several min
utes. The missiles came from a thicket
between us and the first ruins of tlie
town, aud after we had located the di
rection we tired a volley from our gnus
and put an end to the disturbance. The
native servants were thrown into a stale
of great consternation, believing and argu
ing that our presence had oil ended tlie
spirits keeping guard over the ruins, and
but for Mr. (irant's threats the crowd
would have bolted and left us.
I think can see into this business," he
jxplained to us after the servants had been
quieted down. ' These ruins have either
been taken possession of by a hand of rob
bers or there is a party here hunting for
treasure. In either ease our presence is
undesirable and that, demonstration was
to drive us away. We'll try to make it a
bad jol for them, whoever they are."
Hie explanation was a reasonable one,
md when 1 asked the gentleman if a ruin
as old as this ever yielded up treasure he
replied:
lilcss you, yes: It has been my luck to
be 'in' on two jobs as old as this. If a
tribal war depopulated this town, then
more or less treasure was hidden awav
because it could not be carried off. If a
plague appeared, tlieu those who hurried
away thought only of saving their lives
and took little or nothing with them.
Somewhere in or about that temple we
are pretty sure of tlnding a plant wortli
licking up."
lie was still talking when uiicer lights
appeared at intervals among the shrill
bery, and strange, wild cries were heard
from aiming tlie ruins. The natives fell
down and covered their heads w ith clot lis,
too frightened to even cry out, but tlie
commissioner calmly continued:
1 on have been woiidoring how it came
ubout that such treasures were left undis
turbed so long. Here is t he explanation at
hand. .Such survivors as knew of its ex-
rsteiico feared to return. No native of
India would give an Kuglishinaii a pointer
on treasure. e have gat hered in pletit v
of loot since tlie mutiny, but never with
tlieir assistance. Thevcall it robbing the
dead. If the party there are after treasure
they belong to soma clan up among the
mountains, 'rney rob each other's ruins,
but never their own."
llynud by the lights disamicured and
silence reigned over the ruins and we turn
cd in again. Soon after daylight came
one of the natives, who had now recovered
ft portion of his natural courage, inspected
the shrubbery and found plenty of evidence
that It had Iktii occupied by men during
the night. Some of the stones thrown at
us were found to have been freshly broken
from large blocks.
"It's a gang of treasure hunters for sure,"
said the commissioner after this last proof
inui Wen suumltteil, "aud It Is twite Deed
less to caution you that we must be very
careful. No one must enter the shrubliery
alone, and wo must bo constantly ready
fur au attack. They are doubtless Sbolaga
men from the hills, and they will stick ut
nothing."
"But why not send down to liheeta for a
detachment of soldiers to hunt them out!'"
I asked.
"And so clve away our llnil. In ease
there Is one? We are not quite so green as
mat. Ibo government must haveits share,
ot course, but we want no further divlslou.
I think we are strong enough to rout 'cm
out, and we will begiu business right
away."
After breakfast the five of us moved
down on the head of the village, leaviug
the camp m charge of the natives. As soon
as wo got among the ruins we found it
tough work to get along. It had been a
vtry substantial town. There being plenty
of building stone at hand, more or less uf
it had been used in every house. It must
have taken an earthquake to fling the
blocks about iu such confusion. Hero and
there a niece of wall was Btaiidlng, but lu
most cases everything had fallen in a con
tused heap. The difficulty ot climbing
over the blocks was added to by the vege
tutlou, and wherever the sun beat down
on a stone we were suro to find a serpent
sunning himself. We were heading for the
walls of the temple, but after an hour's
work we had not mlvauced over linli
Dillo. Mr. Grant called a halt, and we
were sitting on the huge blocks of stone lu
a glade about fifty feet across when snmu-
tning fery queer happened. The foliage
was dense c trough to throw the kiuk into
a shadow approaching twilight. Our ears
were suddenly saluted with groans and
moans, as of some person In dtp distress,
aud while we were looking about and at
each ol her a llgure came out ot the thicket
on t he south side and slow ly floated across
the glade. It looked like a human figure,
though draped and uiullled, and though it
passed over tlie ground at about uu ordinary
height, the motion was that of floating
along instead of walking. It wasn't over
twenty feet from us, and when It disap
peared into the thicket on the other side
the air was heavy with the odor of a
j strange perfume.
I "It's nothing but a trick toscare us ofi '."
j whisis'red (irant, after tlie figure had dis
appeared. "If it comes again everjlMsly
j open lire on it!"
i We waited in nervous silence for live or
six minutes, w hen tlie appai il ion appeared
again, preceded by the same distressing
I noises. It was scarcely clear of the bushes
' when we oiiened lire, each one of us wit h a
i revolver. It, floated along as before and it
the same pace, and we got in three shots
apiece before the smoke obscured it.
"We've riddled one of them, nu) how !"
i chuckled (irant us we wailed for tlie smoke
to clear; but a minute later, when it had
floated aw ay, the ligurewas not to he seen.
We had Hied point blank at n distaiu e t
eighteen or twenty feet, and it w.is absurd
suppose that, all fifteen bullets hail
missed.
"And how do you account for that ?" I
ked as I felt my hair trying to climb up.
"It's one of their conjuring tricks," an
swered the engineer, "and was pretty w 'I
worked. I've seen stranger things than
that, however. Wo had best get out of
this at once!"
We were, hardly oil I lie blocks before a
rock weighing at least twenty pounds
crashed down through tlie t fee tops and
ell where we had been sitting. Ten sec
onds earlier would have resulted in one
death at least. As we made our way along
I asked the engineer how such a rock con hi
have been heaved into the air to fall wit h
such exactness, but be could not explain.
Instead of pushing along to the temple wi
llow made our way to the right to get out
of the ruins, and in a short, time were on
the open plain.
'T he temple is our objective point," ex
plained Mr. ( irant, "and it's no use push
ing through those ruins togct there. We'll
go down opposile ami then strike in. Now
iisik at that, will you?"
About a hundred feet' aw:vy from us and
right in our course was a bushy topped
tree about thirty feet high. I here was
only a light, air stirring, and yet the top of
the tree was waving to and fro, as if in a
heavy gale. We slowly advanced lint il we
stood at the foot of the tree. I hail expect-
d to see a native up there, but not hing
whatever was in sight. While we stood
t here the tree cunt limed it sunt ics, and none
of us was sharp enough to solve the mys
tery.
It's just a trick to scare, us nil," said
Mr. (irant, "and we'll see more of 'em lie-
ore we are through. How they do these
tilings 1 can't pretend tosay, but they arc
done for effect and would frighten a nut ive
out of his senses. We must push along ami
not mind them."
Opposite the ruins of the temple we en
tered the thicket again, Mr. (irant hailing,
and the rest following in Indian file. Wc
had not advanced a hundred feet when we
heard sobs and moans from both sides of
us, aud one would have sworn that a doz
en women vrc wandering about indis
tress. The sounds appeared unite close t.
us, but yet X 'could not detect the prcs-
eliceof a hilin vn being. All uf a sudden, as
we continued to push ahead, the thicket
echoed such screams and shrieks that my
knees gave out and I had to clutch a limb
to support mi'. I expected to be ridiculed
or mv exhibit, but tlio others came to
halt with serious fairs, ard the engineer
said:
"I'm blessed if the sounds don't give me
a chill, though I know it's all a blooming
trick of tho gang to keep us out. There
nust be a lot of the fellows ill there."
"And I'm thinking it would be a wise
t hing to send down for more help," added
Mr. (irant. "(iood Lord! but see that!"
A block of stoue which seemed to he four
feet long, a foot thick and three feet wide
was lying in tlie grass within four feet of
us as we stood in a group. This block
suddenly stood on end, rose into the air
fully six feet, and then fell to the earth
with a Jar which made things tremble. 1
tell you simply what, five of us saw or
thought wo saw. What sort of jugglery
it was I don't pretend to say, but it was
jugglery of some sort, of course. Directly
after the stone fell four or livo large pieces
of rock came crashing about our cat s and
no cine hesitated to beat a speedy retreat.
1 m not running from their tricks," said
Grant as wo headed for camp, "but I'm
satisfied they are a largo party and des
perate fellows. They are probably strong
enough to wipe us out, anil I'll have up a
company of soldiers to beat the cover."
A messenger was at once dispatched to
liheeta, which is a military jiost, but it,
was three days before tho soldiers came
up. There were ninety of them, and
though wo had heard nothing further
from the treasure hunters while waiting
wo felt sure they were still among the
ruins. Tho troops entered from three dif
ferent directions, having orders to shoot
down anything they sighted, but t he whole
place was beaten lip and only one native
found. He "was lying among the ruins of
tho lemphi with a broken leg. lie was a
Sholaga from tho hills, ami after having
been carried to camp and bis injuries at
tended to be talked freely. The party had
numbered fifty men and had been working
for two weeks when we appeared. Tlie
leader had been told of tlie existence of a
cavern under the ruins of the temple, and
they had labored hard in their efforts to
secure it. As wo afterward saw for our
selves they had moved at least a thousand
tonsof debris before opening tlie cavern.
Their appliances were ot the rudest sort,
and everything had been accomplished by
main strength. During the period of their
labors live uf tlie party had died of i.nake
bites and two had been killed iu moving
the blocks. Thecavern was found the day
before the soldiers came, and iu opening it
this native had been hurt. His friends
had dclilicratcly abandoned him, but he
boro them no grudge, On tbo contrary, he
was highly gratitlcd to know that the
treasure had escaped the English. When
asked ns to its value his eyes sparkled
joyously and he answered:
Sahib, there were niillious! Over thirty
men had each a heavy load made ready to
carry when I fainted away. It would
have uindo a hundred Knglishmcii rich for
life!"
Wo found tlio cavern to bo a room eight
feet long, six brood and ten high. It had
been swept clean. Tho native said it was
uearly full of gold and silver and plate ami
jewelry. It so, tlie gross value was a
tremendous big sum, and the fellows must
have had to make two or three trips of it
to carry everything away.
