MoOADLIT rr« LMt and Found I had been kmickiii^ about the mnuutaina for several weeks, when oii« evening I found niyseU in front of a littW ualiin, nestlini; Ht the foot of a great mountain, and facing a level strutch of sandy plain. My hi<rs«s were tired from an unusually hard day's jaunt, and I was so ireary of the mlituae of the itreii trttes and hills that I was very vlad t<> pitvh camp for the night in a place that promiied human conipanionship. D 8 iiounting, I removed the aaddlt- from the animal I had been riding, and was busy untyiug the C'irds which bound my c.mip nut 6t to the other, when 1 niiticed both aniniala prick up their ears and look intently across the plain. Turn- ing in the direction, I saw, ciining slow- ly toward ni« the figure of a ins'i, an old mall, apparently, for his long hair anal longer beard wer«sni>wy ahite, and his tall form was bent as with the weiuht of yeais. He was dresaed in tne oidinary garb of a miner. In one hand he carried a Ion;! staff, which he occasionally thrust sharply into the rand as he advanced pausing frequently for a backward glance across the plain. When ho had drawn nearer, I noticed that his staff was peculiarly shod with a long sharp piecv of steel. I knew instinctively that I atnod in the presence of no ordinary backwoodsman, whose rude hospitality be- longs tocvvry wayfarer by thH right of an unwiitten law of frontier etiquitte The cnrdiul Kiite of his rich vnicw, as he bad<- me " guild niornin2," reassured ni) 8>i much, however, that I asked permission lu stay all night, hostei.ing to add in> name, address and ocutipatinn. He readily as.<iented, and, after showing me where to picket my horacs, led thn way int-) the cabin, where he soon prepared a aupper to which I did the full ju.atice of a keen ap;)eti e. When I he table had been cleared away and a fresh lo:i laid upon the hra 1 cot (let my pipe and tiibacco, olfering my liii.it Mime of the latter which he accepted; and we were anon chsttinjr tegether with that cordial ueod fellowship peculiar i> men under the iiiflueiico of the sodnctive weed. 1 had coiitidvd tu him my mani.i for "prospecting" sail persiatent aftoi yearf of fruitless efforts to strike it rich,'' and there hud fallen between us a almrt silence, duiiig which I allowed my ihouuhts to driit awuy to a sweet faced wumnn nhom I oi ca loved silently, hope- lessly for so many yvars Suddenly my host's voice recalled mo to the present " A mania you called it," he was say ini;, " and rightly, to-, as are all other fiinns of our itreed fur K'dd. God knows I'o one can realize this truth mote bitterly than 1." Tho wesrine<« in his fAco impressed mo painfully. 1 was speculating as to what his story might be, when he took Ilia pipe from his mouth, and, without preface or apology, began : "I have lived in this cabin for eiuhteeii years never leaving it excapt for semi-ttniiunl visits to the little town acro's the mm n Bu for my sup; lies Eigh'o n years auo this month I diacovrred a riih ;udge, bearing ^old and silver up th< niiiuiitaiii aide abuut a mile. I had high hiipcn and worked had, for 1 fiosses.^eil the niiglitirst ineentivn that can nerve k man tu rest a fortune from fato â€" a loving little woman w;iiiud my return. Her father, a woalthy, hard headed old fann- er, disapproved of me on general principUs, especially because of my iMiverty. When 1 had ten thousand dollars ill cash, he said. I miKlit claim her for my wife. We bolioved this equal lo a refusal of my suit, for the toiliin; and saving of a lifuiiine would scart-ely win that much niiiney fnim the few atony acres I poHseeHcd, But youth is hopeful ann resourceful ; to I left my sweet heart, who prMnisrd amid hrr tears, to he faithful till de^ith, and started for tli" gidden west 1 had poor success, how ever, and at tho end of five years whs little bettor uti' than when I left home. Then it waa tliiit 1 stumhUd (|uite Hccidontly upon the ledge up the ninuiitain aide, an accidenlal tluit I he lievnd it nolhing aliort of provldent<a . I'lior fold !" Hehtughcd liiilerly and then .sat watching the Biuoks which curled in fantastic wicatha from hia pipe. '' Kor Nome time I worked bm aeldom man worked before, as man can work only when neived by S'lch hopes us mine were. But I' was soon forced to the conclusion thnt I must have ansiat ance and mneliinery to develop my mine, biilh of which required capital-and that I did not have. One day I set out on foot serosa the mountain in search of some one who would advance (he nrceaaaiy capital for an iutereat in my mire. You may he sure that it was only afier a severe struggle that I hrom:ht myself to this step. Upon reauhine the town I went straiiiht tu the post ofKct. where, as 1 rxpi-otod, I found a letter from my aweei-heart. I carried it un opened to my rnum at thn hotel, and sat down to read ii, thinking that it would givK mo new 0'>u » • in my quest." Tho idd man paused. Something in his voioo kept mo silent, too, though I lunged to queaiiou him aa lo Ihe out conae of hia story Suddenly he roused himself from hit reverie and wmtiiiued as abruptly ai he had ceased. I need not tell you that my letter con- tainrd a alorv aa old as love itaelf, a story of womaii'a failhlesanes^. It nut out the light of my life at one cruel blow. I did nut heed the protestations, all blotted with her tears ; 1 grasped naly the one fatal ptnnl Uiat she waa no longer mine to win, since she had yielded her vnwa lo B rieh joan, and th* bitterneBB uf this blinded me to all eUo. I would ioek deaik." *' you noMcod this evBntng th« levsl ilr«toh«( plain to th« wMtward. The soil is B loose, light sand, and ih< tem6c had invoked, •' No, the dark mouth "f B wsll. T am not naturally a physical coward, but my nerves were all unstring by what had t<one before, that it was seveial minutes before I could bring myself to inveatigite this unexpectad devehipoinent of my <rave. At last, however, I secured a pitch stick fmni the cabin fur a turch, and returned to follow this new ' lead ' to its coucluaioii. I f,iund that I was iu '.tn Indian tomb, and scattered on the tloor were spvcimens uf pottery. Sii- tin.! bolt upright against the farther wall, grotesquely hideous with feathers and other savage rtdoroHient, and wrapt alxiut with gaudy robes, fulling away from the sk detoii forms in decaying tatters, were hrva ligures. It was not v. pleasant Might, nor one I cared to look upon â€" Ihe dark faces with their rows of shining tfieih, from which the withered lips were drawn in sardonic grins, and the staring caverns, which the flickeriu^ light tilled with phantom eyes. " I turned a'.:ain, with idle curiosity, tu the pottery. Pushing off the cover of the jar nearest me, I cautiously thruai my hand into the nmuth, and lifted it full to the eye, aud then I dropped Uj on winds which occasianly sweep down o%er the mountains play mad pranks with jreat hills and hollows are piled up and scooped out, familiar landmarks are obliterated and new unrs uncovered ta day, and to-morrow the inconstant wind undoes its woik, leaving the plain as level ,is a floor. In the bank of clouds I saw the promise of one of these pi riodiciil Htiirnia, and like an inspiration to my iiUoniaed brain, came the ide» of faahion- in!: myself a grave, in which I could lie down, allowing the wind to wrap me deeply in a winding sheet of sand. To think waalto act. With a nervous energy ixirn of inadnesa I seized a spade and hastened out into the plain. I worked â-  apidly, pausing for an occosional re- asjuriiig glance at the bank of clouds. 1 had scooped out the sind to a depth of perhaps three feet, when the point of my .spade unexpectedly came in contact with a hard suifiice." The " bed of tlio rock?" I ventured, as the ulJ man stopped short, 18 thiiULih overcome hy the niemorirs he my knees, starini; stupidly at the flitter- ing heap of yellow sand in my open palm, asking myself if I were dreaining Ounces of pure, bright g(dd ! All the jara told the san.e story save two; gold. <>nd full almost tu the brim ! Gold enough fur a king's ransom, all mine for 'he taking I I wi.s livh, and riches mtaiit power â€" revenge. 1 could go back tu my old home, and live like b prince, her next door neighbor. I would pay off her father, her husbind and berself, in the d'svil's coin of hate, the debt 1 owed them. My toich went out, but I took a jar and made my way to my cabin. All night long the wind raced with a fury I have never known aince. When morn- ing cane my first thought was of my treasure house. I hastily dressed and stepped outside. Not a landmark could I see. With hendish malignity the wind had effaced every familiar bush, and hillock and ravine. I returned lo the oabiu, aisappomted aid chagrined, but lint uneasy, and thinking myself lucky to liave fetched one jar with nis I stuoped and struck its ugly aides with a raiser's tenderness. Thuii, to reassure myself by a sight of the yellow dust, I put ray hund into the jar, and lifted it full to the hght. " I think I went mad again for a moment, for when I came to myself I was standing ever the shattered jar, looking down upon its shattered con- triita, which twinkled in tha pateh uf sunlight from tho open door â€" White, eil and yell»w buads ! In the darkness 1 had got hold of one of the only two jars in tha grave which did not contain gold." " But surely you have found the grave again, I said. The old man shook his head. "Froas that day to this 1 havu been sesrrhing for the entiaiice to the grave. I have â- !ono over every foot of yon sand. Storms have swe«p over it, casting up and tearii g down hillocka, but never mice revealing the secret held fast in the shifting Blind. Day after day, armed nith my steel ah' d pole, I have sou^'ht, 411 fru'tlessly th:it 1 should be Irnipted tu believe the whole thing a delusion of my over-n'rouglit mind were it not for the shattered jar of beaiU which I have in my cupboard. It is going to blow to- night, aud I must makeanetlier search. With that he showed me to my bad. Just as I sank into a slight slumber, b lusty halloo shook my drowsy senses, hen voices and the tramping uf horses broke irregularly into the softer monotony of the rising winds, and pre swntly my host entered with some one, who, like myself tproad hia blankets upon the floor ; and then, lulled by the wind I fell fast asleep When I awoke the sun waa streaming in at the open door of the cabin. Leisurely dreaaing myself, I went outside to laok after my horses, and met a stranger, a prospector, like myself. As we exchanged words of greeting, my eyes travelled cerelesaly iicrois the plain until they wcr^ arrestsil l-y an objsot lying at tha foot of a giant thrub, an object so like the figure of a man th*t I broke off what I was saying and ran swiftly towa>ds it, with a strange fear tugging at my heart â€" a fear soon justified. Lying on his hack, his white face unturned to the smilins sky, I faund my old host, his madiiosa cured at last. Grasped firmly in both hands, and lying partly across his dead body, was tho ateuleshod pMe, tha point thrnst tlesply into the lanae aaiid. Taguthar the stranger and 1 carried him to the aabin, snd, as tho last rs/s of the settiag aun slanted aon»s tha fateful plain, «• ' buried hiin cIom by hit oabin door with t la rniinplad, timea^B-ad le^ «t from hif swaet-'seart hidden over his peaceful heart. A rnung his effects we found the bioken jar and tho beadi. The n. xl morning we soparsied aud went our several ways. B'or two days I travelled, and then a thought, which lud hauitad me ever since I found the old man lyiiih' dead, cauaed me to retrace my steps ; my suspicion preved correct. I found that the point of his etalf hid touched B rock, the entraactf to his !o ig sopftht treasure house, and tho shock and joy had killed him. The interior ef the cave was as he ha'. de8cril>ed it lo me, and-- but why g., into details ? Fortune, not death, cured my mania and satisfied my ambitions. A month later I was mar- ried to Agnes.
