A Tale of 3 Three Lions iA i j BY H. RIDER HAGGARD CHAPTER I (CoxTijria) "At last the crisis came. One Saturday I had paid the men as usual, and bought a muid of mealie meal at sixty shillings for them to fill themselves with, and then I went with my boy Harry and sat on the edge of the thundering great hole that we had dug in the hill-sid- e, and which we had In bitter mockery named Eldorado. There we sat in the moonlight with our feet hanging over the edge of the claim, and were melancholy enough for anything. Presently I pulled out my purse and emptied its contents into my hand.

Another secret and the secret was out; we had found a great nugget of pure gold, four pounds of It or more. 'Its gold, lad, I said, its gold, or Im a Dutchman. Harry, with his eyes starting out of hi3 head, glared down at the long gleaming yellow scratch that I had made upon the virgin metal, and then hurst out into yell upon yell of exultation, that went ringing away across the silent claims like the shrieks of somebody being murdered.

I promptly put the big nugget down and sat on it, as though it had been an egg, and uncommonly hard it was, and as I did so I saw a lean dark face poked over the edge of the claim and a pair of beady eyes searching us out.

If you want to know what it was, Mr. Tom. I went on w ith my politest air, although in agony from the nugget underneath, for I hold it always best to be polite to a man who is so handy with a handspike, my boy and I have had a slight difference of opinion, and I was enforcing my view of the matter upon him; thats all, Mr. Tom. Yes, Mr. Tom, put in Harry, beginning to snivel. Well, all I can say Is that a played-out old claim is a wonderful queer sort of a place to come for to argify at ten oclock of night, and whats more, my sweet youth, if ever I should ave the argifying of yer and he leered unpleasantly at Harry yer wont oiler in quite such a jolly sort o way. t, for And now Ill be saying I dont like disturbing of a family party.

I said, as I slipped off the lump of gold which hail left a dent upon my person that did not wear out for a week or more. Now then, just you slip up, Harry, and see if that consummate villain has gone. Harry did so, and reported that he had vanished toward Pilgrims Rest, and then we set to work, and very carefully, but trembling with excitement, with our hands hollowed out all the space of ground into which I had struck the pick. Yes, as I thought, there was a regular nest of nuggets, twelve in all, running from the size of a hazel nut to that of a hens egg, though of course the first one was much larger than that. How they all came there nobody can say; it was one of those extraordinary freaks, with stories of which ft any rate, all people acquainted with alg will be familiar. It luvial turned out afterward that the Yankee who sold me the claim had in the same way made his pile a much larger one than our3, by the way out of a single pocket, and then worked for six months without seeing color, after which he gave it up. At any rate, there the nuggets were, to the value as it turned out afterwards, of about twelve .hundred and fifty pounds, so that after all I took out of that hole four hundred and fifty pounds more than I put into it. We got them all out and wrapped them up in a handkerchief, and then fearing to carry home so much treasure, especially as we knew that Mr. Handspike Tom was on the prowl, 'made up our minds to pass the night where we were a necessity which, disagreeable as it was, was wonderfully sweetened by the presence of that handkerchief full of virgin gold, which represented the interest of my lost half sovereign. the night wore away, for Slowly with the fear of Handspike Tom before my eyes I did not care to go to sleep, and at last the dawn came, blushing like a bride, down the somber ways of night. I got up and watched its perfect growth, till it opened like a vast celestial flower upon the eastern sky, and the sunbeams began to spring in splento mountain-top- . dor from mountain-to- p I watched it, and as I did so it flashed upon me with a complete conviction that I had not felt before, that g to last I had had enough me the rest of my natural life, and I then and there made up my mind to clear out of Pilgrims Rest and go and shoot Then I buffalo toward Delago Bay. turned, took the pick and gbovel, and although it was a Sunday morning, woke up Harry and set to work to see if there were any more nuggets handy. As I expected, there wer.e none. What we had got had lain together In a little pocket filled with soil that felt quite different from the stiff stuff round and outside the pocket. There was not a trace of gold. Of course, it is possible that there were other pockets full somewhere about, but all I have to say is I made up my mind that, whoever found them I should not; and, as a matter of fact, I have since heard that that claim has been the ruin of two or three people, as it was very nearly the ruin of me. Harry, I said presently, I am going away this week towards Delago to shoot buffalo. Shall I take you with me, or send you down to Durban? Oh, take me with you, dad, begged Harry. I want to kill a buffalo! And supposing the buffalo kills you instead? I asked. Oh, never mind, he says gayly, there are lots more where I came from. I rebuked him for his flippancy, but in the end I consented to take him. good-nigh- ht ht gold-minin- gold-minin- and there were single mimosa trees. To our right a little stream, which had cut a deep channel for itself in the bosom 0f the slope, flowed musically on between banks gnen with tho maiden-haiw;;j asparagus, and many beautiful grasses. The k here was red granite, and in the course of mauy centuries of patient washing the water had hollowed out some of the huge slabs in its path into great tioughs and cups, and these we used for bathing-placeNo Roman lady, with her baths of porphyry or alabaster, could have bad a more delicious spot to lave herself than we had within fifty yards of our skmn or rough of mimosa ihorn that we had diagged together round the cart to protect us from the attacks of lions, of which there were several about, as I knew from their spoor, though we had neither heard nor seen them, It was a little nook where the eddy of the stream had washed away a mass of soil, and on the edge of it there grew a most beautiful old mimosa thorn. Beneath the thorn was a large smooth slab of granite fringed all with maiden-hai- r, and other ferns, that sloped gently down to a pool of the clearest sparkling water, which lay In a bowl of granite about ten feet wide by five deep in the center. Here to this slab we went every morning to bathe, and that delightful bath is among the most pleasant of my hunting reminiscences, as it is also for reasons that will presently appear, among the most painful. It was a lovely night, and Harry and I sat there to the windward of the fire, at which the two Kafirs were busily employed in cooking some steaks off a buck which Harry, to his great joy, had shot that morning, and were as perfectly contented with ourselves and the world at large as two people could possibly be. The night was beautiful, and it would require somebody with more words on the tip of his tongue than I have to describe the chastened majesty of the moonlit wilds. Away forever and forever, away to the mysterious north, rolled the great bush ocean over which the silence hung like a heavy cloud. There beneath us a mile or more to the right rolled the wild Oliphant flashed back the river, and mirror-lik- e moon, whose silver spears were shivered on its breast, and then tossed in twisted lines of light far and wide about the mountains and the plain. Down upon its banks grew great timber-trees that through the stilly silence pointed solemnly to heaven, and the beauty of the night lay upon them like a dream. Everywhere was silence silence in the starred depths, silence in the fair bosom of the sleeping earth. Now, if ever, great thoughts might rise in a mans mind, and for a space be might lose his littleness in the sense that he partook of the pure immensity about him. Almost might he hear the echoes of angelic voices, as the spirits poised on bent and rushing pinions swept onwards from universe to universe; and distinguished the white fingers of the wind playing in the tresses of the trees. Hark! what was that? From far away down the river there comes a mighty rolling sound, then another, and another. It is the lion seeking his meat. I saw Harry shiver and turn a little pale. He was a plucky boy enough, but the roar of a lion for the first time in the solemn bush veldt at night is apt to shake the nerves of any lad.

T French, who, unlike the English in Egypt, have settled down in Tunis for good, have got a camp at that seaport which is a mine of mosaics, where fresh discoveries are made every year.
