There were thieve and lawless tnen at this Dew gold rush, as at all new gold rubes, and they would know of his prixa. They would probably try to annex it. They would search all sorts of cunning hiding places in the neighborhood of his tent; they might even creep into the but at night, to feel under his pillow and among bis rough bedding far the yellow earth that folk hated eafh other for.

The thieves of the T diggings would be too cunning to think cf eiamiuiug such an improbable hiding place. "You niut take great care of it, darling," 6aid John Archer. "It is for your mother." And Effie etowed the little nugget away in a corner of the old work box which had been her mother's under the cotton and the socks she was darning for her father. She felt duly weighted with the responsibility. She knew that this yellow earth was of great value, for her father, leaving her mother, who was very delicate, with some friends in Brisbane, hail come a long, weary way to find it, and she had seen his sorrow, his dnopair, as day after day he had eagerly worked with pick aud spade without finding what he sought. Having hidden the little nugget away, F.ffie came out of the hut to look round and see if any one wa near who might have seen her. No. No one was near h.'r only Billy the who might have black King Billy, the alioriginnl monarch, who loved rum and tobacco, and who was chopping firewood for her. for King Billy evidently had not he was wielding the ax with quite exceptional vigor; and if Billy hud seen it wouldn't liavo mattered very much, tor Eflie trusted him. The little girls reason for trusting King Billy, the M:iek. was somewhat strange, and is worthy of being recorded. She trusted him bevmise she had been kind to him. But Eflie was only twelve. As the child stood in the broad light, her tumbled hay hued hair kissed and illumined by the bold rays of the sun, and her round, trustful blue eyes shaded from the glare by two little brown hands, watching King Billy at his work, a flock of laughing alighted in a neighboring gum tree, and set up a demoniac CHchination. What made the ill omened birds so madly merry? What was the joke? EffiVs trust? Billy's gratitude? They failed to explain, but their amusement was huge end sardonic. "Drive them away, Billy," cried Effie, and the obedient king dropped his as and threw a faggot of wood at the tree, which stopped the laughter and dispersed the merry makers. "Billy tired now," said the black grinning; "too much work plenty wood," and he pointed to the result of his labor. "Yes, that will be enough, th;tnk you. You're a good boy. I'll give you some tobacco." "Billy's thirsty." "Then you shall have some tea." "No tea. Rum." "No, Billy. Rum fcy't good for yon.' "Good for miners; good for Billy." "No, it's not good for miners," sjiiJ Effie emphatically: "it makes them fight and say wicked tilings." "Makes black feller feel good," declared Billy, rolling his dusky eyes. This last argument was effective. Effit went into her hut her father had returned to his work and a little spirits from John Archer's fl:isk into a "pannikin."

WALLACE DRUGGIST. b-- :I9 Wachinirtiin It was 10 o'clock, and darkness and quiet reigned in John Archer's hut. Over among the tents behind the wattle gums a few gamblers and heavy drinkers were still awake, and their voices, raised in anger or ribald merriment, bave been faintly might oecasioiially heard from the hut. But Archer, who had sown his wild oats, was a true worker; and he had hi.s little daughter, for whose sake he hud built the hut away from the noisy camp. Archer had come home late and weary, as usual, had eaten bis supper and gone to rest without, to Eflie' intense relief, speaking of the little gold nugget The of the loss, and child was afraid to sjx-'ashe was not without vague hopes that a beneficent providence would restore the nugget during the darkness and save her from tliis great trouble. For this she prayed very earnestly lay down to sleep. Or did she sleep at all that night? She never quite knew. But she thinks that it was then that she first experienced that terrible, purgatorial condition which is neither wakefulness nor sleep, when the body and mind are weary enough to bring the profound sleep which they require, but which the brain is too overladen and too cruelly active to allow; when dreams seem realities and realities dreams. It must have been a dream when she saw something small and yellow float through the tiny window on And the ghostly silver moonbeams. yet, when, having closed her eyes, she opened them again, it was still there hovering about in the darkness less bright now, and with a pale yellow ha'o. But it faded quite away; it was a cruel, mocking dream. Then was it a dream when the old curtain which divided her corner of the hut from her father's moved near the ground bulged slightly toward her? It would be curious to see, and she lay still. From under the curtain seemed to come a thin arm, and slowly, cautiously, after the arm, a head with a great shock of hair. And the moonbeams just touched a face. I think they kissed it, though it was black, for they found in a bhick hand the little yellow object which had floated in the first dream. It was all so re;il, so beautiful, that the child lay still, scarce daring to breathe lest fhe vision should melt away, and when in her dream came the voice of her father, with the words, "Speak or I'll fire!" her lips refused to oen. But it was no dream when the shot came, and the Black King rolled over on the earth, dead, with the little gold nugget he had come to restore pressed in the death agony against his heart, where, too, was a little gold. And the laughing birds in the old tree, startled from their sleep by the shot, laughed once more, wildly and madly, at Billy's honesty; bat there was bitterness in their merriment, for their master, the devil, had been cheated of the soul of a Black King.

The littlt b,ut was tidied and the simple evening meal prepared, and some hours mast pass before her father returned. How jould she pass the time? She had only two books a Bible and a volume of stories for little girls, which she had won as- - a prize at school in Brisbane. But she was too young to appreciate the first, especially as the type being very small it was difficult reading, and she had grown beyond appreciating the stories for little girls, having known them by heart three years before. She would like to have slept.. Everything around her suggested and invited the siesta the steady heat; the brightness of the light without the hut; the distant murmur of miners' voices, which came from beyond yonder belt of wattle gums; the monotonous hum of the locusts in the forest; the occasional fretful cry of a strange bird, and the regular snores of the fallen king, who slmnl)ered in the shade of the but.
