CHAPTER VII—CONTINUED.

IMPRISONED.

Then we turned to Foulata. The poor girl was stabbed in the body, and could not, I saw. live long. "Ah! Bougwan, I die!" gasped the beautiful creature. She crept out— Gagool: I did not see her. I was faint— and the door began to fall then site came back, and was looking up the path —ami I saw her come in through the slcsvlv falling door, and caught her and held her, and she stabbed me, and I die, Bougwan." "Poor girl! poor crlri!" .*ood cried and then, as iie could do nothing else, he fell to 3d saint: her. •'BougWan," she said, after a pause, •'is Macuaiaziihu there? itsrows so dark, I can not ?.ee." "Here 1 am. Foulata." "Mueunuiiahn, he my tongue for a moment, I pray the?, for Bougwan can not understand me, and before I go io'o the durkuess—1 would speak a word." "Say on, Foulata, I will render it." "Savto'mv lord, Bougwan, that —I lii™. and that I am gl.id to die because 1 know 111ai ii^ caii noc cunioev hi^ life with such as me, for the

"You need not. let th:t trouble yon, old fel'ow." said Sir Henry. said Good hvhat do you mean?" "I mean that you will soon be in a position to join Iter. Man, don't you see thai we are buried alive?"

Until Sir Henry uttered tho3e words do not think that the full horror of what had happen?1 had roe to us. preoccupied as we were

with

the sight

of poor Foubita's end. But now wv understood. The ponderous nias3 of rock hfcd closed, probably forever, for the only brain wJri-ii knew its secret was crushed to powder beneath it. Tim was a dcor that none can Id ho pa to force with .vny thing short of dynatiiiie in largo quantities. And ave were on the wrontr

aide

of h!

For a few miuu!.-?s wa stood horrific! there over the corpse of Foulata. A'l the manhood seemed to have gme out of us. The drat shock of this idea of the slow and miserable end that awaited us was overpowering. AVef awuati now that fiend vgooi ha planned this r-nare for us front the first. It would have been just the jo»it tiiat her evil min would have rejoiced in, the idea of the three wliite Mien, whom, for some reason of her own, she had always hated, slowly perishing of thirst and hunger in the company of the treasure they had. coveted. 1 saw the point of that sneer of hers about eating and drinking the diamonds now. Perhaps aomeooJv had tried to serve the poor old in the same way. vrhen he abandoned the skin full of jewels. 'This will never do," Paid Sir Hen'v, hoarsely the lame will s:oa go out. Lvt us see if we can't find the spring that works the rock ."

We sprung forward with desperate energy, and branding in a bloody oo/.e, began ro fee up and down the door and the' eider- of tie* p:v«are. Bat no knob or spring could we discover. "Depend on it," it does not work from the inside, if it did Gagool w-u'd nut have risked trying to crawl underneath the stone. It was the knowledge of this that made her try to escape at all hazards, curse her." "At all events." said S'r Henry, with a hf.rd little laugh, "retribu'ion was swift hers was almost as aw nil an end as curs is likely to be. We can do nothing with the door, let its go back to the treasure room." We turned and went, and as we did eo 1 perceived, by the unfinished wail across the passage, theba-ikefc of food which poor Foulata had carried. I took it up, and brought it with me back to that accursed treasure chamber that was to he our grave. Then we went back and reverently ho re.

Foulata's corpse, laying it on the floor by the boxes of coin. Next we seatedourselve?, leaning oar baek3 against the three stone chests of priceless

"Let us divide the iood," said Bi.r Henry, ".so as to make it last as long as possible." Accordingly we did'so. It would, we reckoned, make four infinites simaliy small meals "for each of '.is, enough aay, to support jifs for a couple of days- Besides the "biltong," or dried game flesh, there were two gourds of water, each holding about a quart. "Now," said Sir Henry, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

We each eat a small portion of he "biltong" and drank a sip of water. We had, needless to say, but little appetite, though we were sadly i.i need of food, and feitbetter after swallowing it. Then we got up and made a systematic examination of the walls of her prison-house, in the faint hope of finding some ra?ar.s of exit, sounding them and the f?.o«r carefully.

There was none. It was not proba Vie that there would be one. to a,treas-ure-chamber.

The la up began to burn dim. The fat. was nearly exhausted. "Quaterimun," paid Sir Hcnrv, "what is the t'.me—your watch goe,%Y"

I drew it out and looked at it. Jt was Btx o'clock we had entered the cave at eleven. "Inl'adoDS will miss us," I suggested "If we do not return to-night, he will pearch for us in the morning, Curtis." "He mav search in vain. Lie does not know the secret of the door, not even where it is. No living person knew •it yesterday, «»xcept Gagool. To-day no "one knows it. Even if he found the door he could not break it down. All the Kukuanaarmy could not breakthrough rive feet of living rock.

My fnends, 1 see nothing lor it but to bow ourselves to the wdl of the Almighty. The search for treasure has

brought many to a bad end we shall go to swell their number." The lamp grew dimmer yet.

Presently it flared up and showed the whole scene in strong relief, the great mass of white tusks, the boxes full of gold, the corpse of poor Foulata stretched before them, the goat-skin full of treasure, the dim glimmer of v.he diamonds, aud the wild, wan faces of us three white men seated there awaiting death by starvation.

CHAPTER XVIII.

WE ABAXJJOX HOPS.

I can give no adequate description of tht? horrors of the night which followed. Mercifullv thev were to some extent mitigated" by sleep, for even in such a position as ours, weaned nature will still sometimes assert itself. But I, at any rate, found it impossible to aieep much. Putting aside the terrilying thought of our impending doom—for the bravest man on earth might we! quail from such a fate as awaited us,aud I never hid any great pretentious to he brave—the silence itself was great to allow of it. lv^ad.-r, you may ha^e lain awake at_ night juid thought the silence oppressive, but I say with "confidence thai you can have no idea what a vivid tangible thing perfect silence realiy is. Oa the surface ol' the earth Jhere is always some sound or motion, and though it may in itseli bs imperceptible, yet does it deaden tie slurp edge of absolute silence. But here there was none. We were M'iedin th bow-!s of a huge snow-clad peak. Tiiousands of feet above us the fresh air rushed over the white su^w, but no sound of it reached us. We were separated by a iong tunnel and live f-*et ot rock even from t-h»* awful chamber of the dead and the !-:id make no noise. The crashing of all the artillery of earth, and heaven could not have couae to our ears

in oar hvifi.tr from all ee.Nor*s of the world—we were as a1ready dead.

And Uien the irony of the situation .roe itr-eli upon me. Tiiere around us Livarare-* enough to pay o:i a m-'der-ate national dt-ot. lo ouiid a Jieet of ii-vjn '.-.tad.--, and yet we would g'.aliy have bartered t-Ueiri all for the faintest chance of escape. Soon, tloubti..ss, we should he glad to exchange them for a oil of food or a cup of water, and after that, even for the privilege of a speedy close to our sufferings. Truly wealth, which men spend rdl their lives in acuiiiring, is a valdeie-a thing at ths laet.

And so the night wore on. "Good," said Sir Henry's voice _at last, and it sounded awful in the intense stillness, "how many matches have you in the box?" "Eight, Oarti.- ." "Strike one, and let us see the time." did so. and in contrast to the dense darkuessthe ii une nearly biinded vis. It was live o'clock by my watch. The beautiful dawn was now blushing on the snow-wreaths far over our heads, and the breeze would be stirring the. uight rni-ts in the hollows. "We had better c- \t something and kt-e-t up oar bi.reugLh," said I. "What is the good of eating?" answered Good "the sooner we die aud gev, it over th-s better." "While there is life there is hope," said i'ir Henry.

Accord'ugly we eat and sipped some water,and another period of time passed, when somebody suggested that it might he as well to get as near to the door as possible and halloa, on the faint chance of somebody catching a sound outside. Accordingly Good, who, from long practice at sea, has a fine piercing note, groped his way down the passage and began, and I must pay he made a most diabolical noise. I "never heard such yells but it might have been a mosquito buz?tng for alt the effect it produced.

After awhile he gave it up, and c?.rae back very thirsty, and had to have some water. After that we give up yelling, a-j it encroached oa the supply of water.

So we all sat down once more again it our chest of use-dees diamond:} in that, dreadful hiaction, which was one of the hardest circumstances of our fate and atu bound to say that, for my part, gave wav in despair. Laying my head against Sir Henry's broad shoulder burst into tears and I think I heard Good ga ping away on the other side. a\d swearing hoaisely at himself for doing so.

Ah, how trood and brave that great man was! Had we betm two frightened

have treated us more tend:rjy. Forgetting his own share of miseries, lie did

His is a beautiful character, very quiet, but very strong. And so somehow the day went as the night had gone (if, indeed, one can u.?e the terms where all was deasest night), and when I lit a match to see the time it was seven o'clock.

Once more we eat and drauk, and as we di eo an idea oceured to nv\

!o\v

is it," sai I, "that the air in

this place keeps fresh? It is thick and heavy, hilt it is perfectly fresh." "Greatheaven^!' said Good, starling up, "I never Miought ol that. It can't e.oaie through thi-Htone door, /or it is air-tight, if ever a door was. It must come from somewhere. if there were no eu -rent of air in the place we should have been stifled when tirst we came in. Let us have a look."

It was wonderful what a change this mere spark of honi» wrought .n us. to a mo :'ent we were all thre'-' groping about, the place on our handsand knees, fewlut^ for the slightest, indication of a draught. Presently mv ardor received a chefik. I put my hand on something cold/ It was poor Foulata's dead face.

For an hour or mere we went on feeling about, tdi at last Sir Henry and I gave it up in despair, having r»ot considerably hurt bv constantly knocking our heads against chests, and the sides of the chamber. But Good still per. evered, r-aying, Willi an approach to rheerfnIncus that it was better than doing nothing. "Lsav, you fellows," he said, presently, a eoustraiued sort ot voice, come here."

Needless to say we scrambled toward him quick enough.'Y

"Quatermain, put your hand where mine is. Now, do you feel anything?" "I think I feel air coming up." "Now lisfcea." He rose and stamped upon the place, and aflame of hope shot up in our hearts. It rang hollow.

With trembling hands I lit a match. I had only three left, and we saw that we were in .he angle of the far corner of the chamber, a fact that accounted for our nor having noticed the hollow ring ol the sdace during our former exhaustive ex a iiHiion. As the match burned wesuranaizsd the spot. There was a joint in the svlid rock floor, and. great heavens! there, let in level with the rock, wesastonoring. We said no word, we were too excited,and our hearts beat too wiidiy with hope to .allow U3 to speak. Good had a knife, at the back of which was one of those hooks that are made to extract stones from horses' hoofs. He opened it, and scratched away at the ring with it. Finally he got it under,and levered away gently for fear of breaking the hook. The ring b?gau to move. Being of stone, it had not got set fast in all the centuries too it had lain there, as would have been the case had it been of iron. Presently it was upri-ht. Tui-n lie got his hands into it an tus'zed with all his force, but nothing budged.

"L-t me try," I said, impatiently, for the situation of the {.-tone, right in the aa. le ol the corner, was nucii ttiafc it was impossible for two to pull at once. 1 g'»t hold and strained asvav, but witii ni results.

Ttuiu S*r Henry tried and failed. Taking ,he hook asaia, Goo I scratched all around the crack where we felt the air eoaung up. "Now, Curtis," he said, "tackleon and put your back 'into it? you are as strong as fcw-'). "Stop," and betook olf a stout, black silk handkerchiei, which, true to his Jmbits ot neatness, he Ktili wore, and ran it. through thy ring. "Quatermain,

dear lite when I give the word. Now," Sir Henry put out all his enoruiof.B strength, and Good and I did the same, with such power as nature had given us. "Heave! heave! it's giving," gasped Sir Henry and I heard the muscles of his great back cracking. Suddenly there came a parting sound, then a rash oi air, srd v.e were ail on our backs on the floor with a great flagstone on the top of us. Sir Henry's strength had done it, and never did muscular power ataad a man in better stead. "Light- a match, Quitermaiu," he said, as soon as we baa picked ourselves up and got one breath "carefully, now."

I did so, and there before us is. God be praised! the first step of a stone stair, "Now what is to be done?" asked Good. "Follow iho stair, of course, and trust to Providence." "atop!" said Sir Henry ''Qaaterrnain, get t!':e bit of biltong aud the water that is left we may want i-bem."

I went creeping back to our place by the chests for th.'.o irp03e, and as 1 was coming away an idea struck me. We had not thought much of the diamonds for the. iast twenty-four hours or so indeod, the idea of diamoads wa3 nauseous, sseitig what they had entailed up u-. but thought I, I may as well po'dcer, a few in case we ever should got out of t.his ghastly hole. So I just stuck my rist into the first chest aud fiiled alt the available pockets of my hunting coat, topping up —this was a happy thought—with a. couple of handfuls of big ones out of the third ehe t. "I say, you fellow3," I sung out, "won't you 'ake some diamond with you? I've filled my pockets." "Oh! hang the diamonds!" said Sir Henry. "I hope I may never see another."

As for Good, he iK'.v'.e no answer. He was. I. think, taking a la-.'t farewell of all that was l--fr, of the poor girl who loved hiai so well. Aud, curious as it may seem to you, my reader, skiing at home at ease ami .*edueling on the vast, indeed. the iuvoeasurahle, wealth which we were thus abandoning, can assure von th if you had passed some twentyei. ht hours with next to nothing to eat and drink in that place, you would not have cared :o cumber yourself with diamonds

ha bothered to till my pockets. "Come en. Qnatei/uuin," said Sir Henry, who was already standing on lie first step of the stone .-stair. ''Steady, 1 will go tiiSt.'' "Mind where you put your feet, there may be some awful iioie underneath/' sai-t I. "Much more likely to be another room,said -Sir Henry, as slowly descended, counting the step- as he went.

When he got to mteen," he stopped. Here's the bottom," he said. "Thank go .does^l I think it's a passage. Come on -lown."

Good descended next, aud I followed last, and on reaching the bottom lit one of the wo remaining matches. By it? light we could just sse that we were standing in a narrow tunnel, which ran rig lit and left af, right angles to the staircase we had descended. Before we could make out any more, the match burned my lingers and went. out. Then arose the" delicale question of which wav to turn Of course, it. was impossible"to know what the tunnel was or where it ran to, and yet to turn one way might, lead us to safety, and the other to destruction. We were utterly perplexed, till suddenly it struck Good that v.-hen !. had lit the match the draught o1' the pa- sage blew the fliine to the 1 •'ft. "l/ us u'o against the draught," he said ''arr draws inward, not outward.'

We took this suggestion, and feeiing along the wall wir.h the hand, whilst trying the eronnd before lis at every ate p.'we departed from that accursed treasure chamber on our terrible quest, if ever it should ha entered again by man, vvh'.cn I do not think it wdl be, ho will find a token of our presence in the open chests of jewels, tne empty lamp, and tiit» while bones of poor Foulata.

When we had groped our way tor about a quarter of an hour along the passage, it suddenly took a sharp turn, or else, was bisected by another, whiea we followed, only in course of time to be led into a third. And so it went on for some hours. We seemed to be in a stone labyrinth which led nowWere. What all these passages are, of course I cannot say, but we thought that they

must be the ancient workings of a mine, of which the various shafts traveled hither and thither as the ore led them. This isthe only way in which we could, account for such a multitude of passages.

At length we halted, thoroughly worn out with fatigue, an" with that hope deferred which maketii th-* heart sick, and eat up our poor remaining piece oi biltong, and drank our hist remaining sup of water, for our throats were like lime kilns. It. seemed to us that we had escaped death, in the dark-ne-s of the chamber only to meet him in the darkness of the tunnels.

As we stood, once more utterly depressed, I thought 1 caught, a sound, to which caiied the attention ot the others. It was veVy faint and very far off, but it was a sound, a faint, murmuring sound, for the others heard :r. too, aud no words can describe 1be blessedness ot it aii.iv? all those hour.s of utter, awful stillness. "By Heaven! it's running water," said Good. "Gome on."

Off we started ag.-iin in the direction from which the faint murmur seemed to come, groping our way as before along the rocky wails. As we went it got more and more audible, tili at last, it .seemed quite loud in the quiet. On, yet on now we could distinctly make out- the unmi.'daiiabl'i swirl ot ru-diing water. And yet how could there be nun.irig water in the bowels ol the earth? Kow we were quite mar to it, and Gcod, who was leading, swore that he .-"ould smell if. gently, Good," said Sir Henry, 'we must be close.' Splash! and a cry from Good.

He had fallen in. "Good! Good! wuere are you?" we fhout'-'d, in terrified distress. To our intense relief, an answer came back in a choky voice. "'All right I've got hold of a rock. Strike a light to show me where you are."

Hastily I lit the last remaining match. Its faint gleam discovered to us a dark mass of water running at our feet. How wide it was we couhi not see, but there. :.onie way out, was the form of our companion hanging on to a projecting rock. "Stand clear t-o citcii me,'' ing out. Good. "I must swim for it."

Then we heard a splash and a great struggle. Another minute- and he had grabbed at and caught Sir Beerv's outstretched hand, and we had puded him up high and -dry into the tunnel. "My wor.l!" h* raid, between his gasps, "tnat wa: tooch and go. If I hadn't caught that rock, and known how to swim, i. should have been done. It runs like amiil-race, and I could feel no bo'iom."

It was clear that this would not do sr» after Good had rested a little, and we had drunk our fill from the water ot the •subterranean river, which was sweet aud fresh, and washed our faces, which sadly needed if, as well as we could, we started from the banks of this African Styx, and began to retrace_ our steps along the turned, Good driopng unpleasantly in front of us. At length we came to another tunnel leading to our riilht.

We may as well take it,' said Sir Henry, wearily "all roads are a'h.e here we can only go on till we drop."

Slowly, tor long, long while, we stumbled, utterly we.try, along this nsw tunnel, Sir Henry leading now.

Suddenly be.stopped, and we bumped up against him. "Look!" he whispered, "is my brain going, or is that light?"

We stared with aU our eyes, and there, vts there, fa*- ahead of us, was a faint glimmering spot, no larger than a cottage window pane. It was so faint that I doubt if any eyes except those which, like ours, had for days seen nothing but blackness, could have perceived it at all.

With a sort oi gasp we parsed on. In five minutes more there was no longer any doubt it was a patch of faint lignt. A minute more and a breath of «'eal live air was .fanning us. On we struggled. All at once the tunnel narrowed. Sir Hcnrv went on his knees. Smaller yet it grew, till it was only the ?i:se oi a large fox's earth—it was earth now mind you, the rock had ceased. /.\ squeeze, a struggle, and Sir Henry was out, aud so was Good, and "go was I, and there above us were Ihe blessed star'j, and in our nostrils was the sweet air then suddenly something gave, aod we were all robing over and over and over through grass and hughes, and soft, wet soil.

I caught at something and stopped. Sitting up I halloed iustdy. An answering tdiout came from just below, wheri Sir Henry's wild career had been h! opoed by some level grodnd. I scrambled to him, and found him unhurt, though breathless. A lit tie way otT we found G*od too, jammed in a forked root. He was a good deal knocked about but soon came to.

Wa sat down together tiiere on the grass, and the revulsion of feeling was so great that I really think we cried for joy. We had escaped from that aw hi: dungeon, that was so near to becoming our grave. HureJy some merciful Pouvr must, have guided cur footsteps to the jackal hole at. the termination of the runnel, (for that ia what ir. n.-usfc have been). And see, there on the mountains, the dawn we had never thought t) lo.ik upon again, was blushing rosy red.

Presently the gray light stole down the slopes, and we saw that we were at the bottom, or rather, nearly at the bottom, of the vast pit in front of the entrance to the cave. Now we could make out the dim forms of the three colossi who sat upon its verge. Doubtless those awful passages along which we had _wandered the live long night, bad originally been, in some way, connected with the great diamond mine. As for the. subterranean river in the bowels of the mountain, Heaven only knows what it was, or whence it flows, or whither it goes. I for one have no anxiety to trace its course.

Lighter it grew, and lighter yet. We could see each other now, and such a spectacle as we presented have never set eyas on before or since. Gaunt cheeked, hollow eyed wretches, smeared all over with dust aud mud, bruised, bleedt-'g. the lung fear of imminent death yet written on our countenances, we were, indeed, a sight, to frighten tne daylight, And yet it is a solemn fact that Good's eyeglass was hid I lixed in Good't' eye. doubt whether he had •^ver taken it out at all. Neither the oarkness, rtor the plunge in the. subterranean river, nor the roll down the slope, had been able to separate Good and his eyeglass.

Presently wo rose, fearing that oiir limbs would stiffen if we stopped there longer, aud commenced with slow aud painful steps to struggle up the sloping

sides of the great pit. For an hour or more we toiled steadfastly up the blue clay, dragging ourselves on by the help of roots and grasses with which it was clothed.

At last it was done, and we stood on the great road, on the side of the pic opposite to the colossi.

By the side of the road, a hundred yards off, afire was burning in front, of some hut?, and round the fire were figures. We made toward them, sapporting one another, arid halting every few paces. Presently, one of the figures rose, saw us. and teflon to the ground, crying out for fear. "Itifadoos, lnfadoos! it is us, thy friends."

We rose he tan
