SOME OF THE HAPPENINGS THAT ASTONISHED THE NATIVES. Ail luiliun Iiieidtiiit Sliiwliij He 1'ou-iir uf Jugglery How u lliiiileu I! anil of Treusuiu Suckers SiieeeedeU In t'up turlug Iiiiuionso lVenltli. 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. 1.,, 151 l-.tf rloeduiR atonln, "r '.'hiMren who wnntbiilld he: tip, ; h'n:Nl lat."
