Rex Knew what to do. He had been posted even’ on his first visit, thanks to the explicit directions giv- en him in advance. His hand touch- ed the cold stone, slipped along it carefully until a certain projection reached when the proper pressure caused a portion of the pedestal to give Way, revealing ‘an inky black cavity.

The adventurous American was down on his knees instantly, and thrust his head inside the opening.

Strange colored fires seemed gleam above—lances of green blood red and golden yellow flashed across each other. Rex knew § the origin of thcse—that they came through the eyes belonging to the three heads of the heathen image, eyes formed of great jewels perhaps, rubies, emeralds and topaz, through which Lord Bruno’s_ photographic flash-light shone with the power of an electric flood.

Another instant and Rex had drawn a match along the cold stune, and as the flame burst forth he ap- plied it to a small. candle which he had taken from his pocket, which in turn was fastened to the flag that formed the base of the idol’s inter- ior, using a little melted wax to se cure it there.

He gave but a single glance of cur- iosity upward, and smiled at what he saw, comprehending the use to which the stone steps: must have been put in the tlme when this idol was worshipped by the people who had their habitation in the ancient crater of Krokato, ages before the Zulus ap- peared upon the scene.

were not altogether unknown in the present day, although perhaps they might not be so openly practiced— still, the abject devotees were just as blind with regard to. the fearful de- ceptions practiced upon them.

After that one cynical survey of the empty space above his head, Rex turned his attention to another quar- ter, in which he had more reason to be interested.

The dust of ages had settled upon everything—a fine impalpable dust that upon the slightest movement filled the air, almost causing strang- ulation. When centuries roll on such an accumulation assumes generous proportions even in the most. air tight repositories as the pyramids of Egypt grain by grain it gathers, growing slowly but surely as the years creep on toward eternity.

As Rex Hastings knelt there, with his remnant of a wax candle serving as a torch, his eyes fell upon what appeared to be little more than an irregular heap of stones, lying at the foot of the rude steps, and covered with dust to such an extent that its

nature could onby be vaguely guessed at.

A second look might arouse _ still greater curiosity, for it would dis- close the fact that somet hing had

recently occurred to disturb one end of the dust strewn ridge. Rex could no doubt have explained that to the queen's taste, since his hand had been the prime cause of it all.

Even now he lost no time in specu- lation, but! reached out a hand th-¢ trembled in spite of his remarka!!o nerve,

Another instant and the decoratio: had been accomplished—the eyes af a latter day argonaut had fallen upon

_ the treasure of the ancient gods.

The little pile semmed to be cover- ed with a parchment like fabric that had resisted the ravages of time, and at the same time served to protect from the encroaching dust the pre- cious collection which it shadowed.

When this cloth had been cautious- ly dragged aside, disturbing as little as possible the accretion of ages, Rex gasped for breath, and surely with cause, for certainly the eyes of ad- venturer never before were ravished with a more wonderful sight since the famous conquistadors of old, Pi- zarro and Cortez scoured Peru and Mexico, unearthing the treasures of the sun-worshippers and the. ancient Aztecs, and gathering rooms full of gold and silver.

Heaped upon each other, in a con- fused mass, just as they had been hid- perhaps by the

ing place ages ago,

, kast priest of the oracle, were scores

hing its arteries Rs | adventure and corquest

which the 6 shone, behold, in hee one of bis same venture taterl to tear away, the

of golden images and vessels of most amazing and grotesque

the shape

; imaginable, such as would fill the soul

of an antiquarian with the most stu- pendous delight

Many of these were possibly idols, others may have had some connection with the temple. One must admire the delicate workmanship shown _ in their construction, and it was very evident that this ancient people who lived in the heart of southern Africa. even before the blacks held undisput-

ed sway, must have brovght their knowledge af working in the precious metals either from far away India

or from Egypt.

Little Rex cared at that particular moment what the origin of this ex- quisite gold filigree werk upon sever- al of the vases might be—his whole soul Was Wrapped up in contempla- tion of the collection, and the thought that by right of discovery it was his almost overpowered him, for at this moment of eXaltation scruples were not apt to arise within his mind re- garding his prerogative as claimant.

He, again stretched... out his... hands and allowed his eager fingers to close about a vase that stood almost eight inches high. It was bound over the top With parchment tied with several ligatures, and as he raised the whole Rex fond it necessary to exert con- siderabhe Strength.

To snatch out his knife and score away the parchment was but the work of & second, when out poured a handful of small stones that glit- tered and glowed even in the feeble candle-ligh*::

They were ems of the purest wa- ter, preci@Us sttanes, rudely cut it is true, but many “of them in such. a prismatic Way 2S to bring out aston- ishing peauty—rubid that may once have adorned the brow of a Cleo- patra, dazzling diarmonds that in the cycles of time passjed since they were torn from their orginal lodgment tn the dark mines of /the earth, possibly glittered in the er@wn of some mighty rajah cf ancient India, or the coronet of a Chinese Mogul. In mystery was their story wrapyed, and in impene- trable gloom musjt it ever remain.

every

barrier wnat nau po 107R prevented these princely gems taking their right- ful place among the coveted treasures of a world’s admiration, and once more casting them forth to become an object of darter among the na- tions.

Rex was a practical man after ali, and he sternly crushed down those feelings of awe and veneration which he must naturally experience upon gazing upon such a remarkable treas- ure trove.

There would be a better time and opportunity to consider these things in the future, when danger no longer hovered about them.

Just now the practical business in hand enlisted his whole attention and syimpathy.

That he had anticipated this very pleasant moment became evident, for what should he do but haul out from a pocket several stout little canvas bags, such,as are used by banks all over the world when transporting the gold coin of the realm,

Snatching up a handful of the gems he thrust them into the yawning mouth of a small bag.

As he did so, from the idol above came a rusty sound very like a dis- mal groan, and which naturally thrilled the adventurer, such was the strain upon his nerves.

Springing to his fat he dashed out of the cavity and sprang around the to have one of those many arms swoop down and thrust him through with a poisoned blade.

A cheery laugh greeted his appear- ance and did much to restore his equanimity, especially when his eyes also reassured him that all was well.

The man who laughed was of course Lord Bruno, still squatting on the head of a broken idol which Red Eric had rolled out for his benefit, « and evidently making remarkable sketches of the assembled deities, ' which in due process of time would ravish the eyes of those who patron- ized the enterprising London maga- zine for which the artist travelled.

‘‘Don’s wonder it set your nerves in a tremble, my boy. It's only Jim, perched up on the pedestal, and mov- ing one of the extra arms his royal nibs is provided with. I suppose the priests used to work it from the in- side, and that awful] groan sent the cold shudders through the multitude lying on their faces. Gad, they were up to delightful tricks in those good old days, eh, and yet in my travels I've seen things just as brazen prac- ticed in communities supposed to be

rete

eivilized to-day. Go on with your work, tex. If it’s as pleasant as mine you are to. be envied I tell vou.”’

Hiastings waited not to argue the

pro and con of that question, since he was quite in a fever to continue

his task. He had travelled many Weary leagues, had encountered — in- numerable perils from wild beasts

and still wilder men, in order to en- joy this hour, and now that it had come his whole being thrilled with the sensation of victory such as but few men experience, and then only once in a lifetime.

Again he was on his knees beside that most wonderful pile, which had lain here as if shumbering through the ages—again his eager hand chased the glowing balls of color as_ they rolled among the baser images, as though playing a game of hide and seek.

In the hunt these golden’ vessels were tossed aside as though repre senting little value, which was pos- sibly the truth when a comparison Was made with those gems of Ophir. such as the Queen of Sheba might have brought as presents to Solomon when she came with such pomp to test his wonderful wisdom.

At last every fugitive jewel had been successfully cornered and care- fully captured. There were two smail bags of them, bags that bulged with riches as their like had certainly never done before, for seldom in the history of Mother Earth could so mueh wealth have been compressed into so. small @ compass.

Deliberately Rex took some cord and proceeded to tie up the meuth of each diminutive sack, and whan this had been completed, ke slipped them into the side pockets of kis stout coat.
