Lady Agnes could not restrain her cries of delight ed amazement “It’s like thls all over the island ‘r‘. â€"â€" “It's like thls all over the island your ladyshlp.” volunteered Mr Bowles, mopping his brow in a must unmllltary way. "except at the mines and back there in the town." “Where are the mines?” asked Dep- pinng “The company's biggest mines are seven or eight miles eastward as the crow flies, quite at the other side of the island. It’s very rocky over there. and theme as place for a landing from the sea. Everything is brought overland to Aratat and placed in the vaults of the bank. l-‘our times a year the rubles and sapphires are shipped to the brokers in London and Paris and Vienna. It’s quite a neat and reg. ular arrangement. sir." "But I should think the confounded natives would steal everything they got their hands on." "What would be the use. sir? They conidn’t dispose of a single gem on the island. find nothing is taken away from here except in the company’s chests. Besides, my lord. these. people are not thieves. They may kill people occa- sionally. but they are quite honest, be lie~e me. And. in any event. are they not a part of the great corporation? They have their share in the working of the mines and in the profits. Mr. Wyckholme and Mr. Shaggs were hon- est with them. and they have been just as honest in return.” “I should think they’d be tempted." said Lady Agnes look so wretchedly pour.” “My lady.” said llmvles. “there are but four poor men (ill the islandâ€"my- self and the three Enrrlishmen who op- erate the bank. There isn‘t a poor man, woman or child among the na- tives. This is truly a land of rich men. The superintendent of the mines is a white manâ€"a Germanâ€"and the three foremen are Boers. The] work on shares, just as the natives do, and save even more, I think. The clerical force is entirely native. There were but ten white men here before you came, including two Greeks. Being part owners, the natives have decided that four hours constitute a day’s work. They par themselves accord lnzly. as it were. No one works after midday, sir.” “\ shy. wouldn't this be a paradise for the English w;.;rkingman?" said Deppingbam. “That‘s the kind of day’s labor they’d like. Do you mean to say that these. fellows trudge eight miles to work every morning and back «gain at noon?" '“Certainly not. sir. They ride their thoroughbred horses to work and ride them back again.” “You take iny breath away." said the other, lapsiug into a stunned silence. The road lmd lxecome so steep and laborious by this time that B(m*les was very glad to furegn the pleasure of talking. He fell back with Mr. Saunders and proceeded to give the inquisitive lawyer’s clerk all the late news of the island. The lnhubhants of Japat had been prompt to protect themselves in a le- ual sense. They had engaged the serv- ices of eminent solit-itors in London. who were to represent them in the tlnal settlement of the estate. London was to he the battleground in the voming eonfliet. A committee of three had journeyed to England to put the matter in the hands of these lawyers and were now returning to the island with a representative of the firm. who was‘comlng out to stand guard. so to speak. \‘on Blitz, the German super-in. tendent. was the master mind in the native contingent. The absent com- mittee was composed of Ben Adi. Ab- daliah Ben Sabhat and Rasula, the Aratat lawyer. They were truly wise men from the eastâ€"old. shrewd. crafty and begotten of Mohammad. The mines continued to be operated as usual pending the arrival of the ex- ecutors’ representative, who. as we know, was now on the ground in the person of Thomas Saunders. The fact that he also served as legal adviser to Lady Deppingham was not of snai- 3ient moment to disturb the arrange- nents on either side. As for the American heir, Robert Rrowne. he had not yet arrived. He van coming by steamer from the west. recording to report, and was probably an the Boswell, Sumatra to Madagas- 2ar. due 01!
