BIBLE MANUSCRIPTS.
Discoveries of Ancient Writings During~
Recent Years.
The oldest manuscripts of the Bible
are not those of the Old Testament,» but
of: the New. The earliest New' Testa-
ment text dates from the fourth cen-
tury, whereas those of the Old Testa-
' ment are not older than the ninth cen-
truy.
Thus the oldest extant manuscripts
of the Hebrew Old Testament are 500
years later than the earliest manu-
scripts of the Greek New Testament.
One eminent modern writer declares
hat. all the existing Hebrew manu-
scripts of the Old Testament descend
froma asingle copy made 1n the reign of
Hadrian (A. D. 102- -,117) at the time of
the great persecution of the Jews by
that emperor.
Some memorials of the greatest value,
completely revolutionizing all pre-
vious knowledge of the conditions un-
der which w ritten documents were pre-
pared in remote ages, have been dis-
covered VV ithin the last decade or so by
the merest accident. Of such nature
was the discovery of the Tel-el-Armana
tablets, nine years ago.
These were found by an Egyptian
woman in 1887 among the ruins of an
ancient temple, between Memphis and
Thebes. They are of clay and contain
the engraVed correspondence in the
Babylonian tongue (the language of di-
lplomacy at that age) betVV een King
Amenophia IV. of Egypt and his Vassal
princes in Palestine. The tablets be-
. long to the age of the Book of Joshua,
and in part relate to the events recorder
.therein. It is quite probable that the
original editions of the earliest books
of the Old Testament were written 011
clay tablets similar to these.
The history of the text of the New
[Testament has its romantic incidents
as well as that of the Old. The story
of Tischendorf’s discovery of the Codex
Sinaiticus is one of these. Fifty-one
years ago, in the course of his travels
in the east, Tischendorf put up for the
night In t 11e monastery of St. Catherine,
. at Mount. Sinai.
'W hile taking a look through the li-
brary he noticed a VV aste paper basket
containing leaves of the most ancient
Greek writing he had ever seen. They
were part of the now priceless Greek
Bible. This Bible is, unfortunately, not
perfect, because many of the leaves.
before TischendOrf discmered it, had
been used by the monks of St. Cathe1i11e
to light the fire.
.. After great trOuble and expense
Tischer do1 f di scm ered the whole of the
1::1consumed portions of this important
document, which frequently contains
the New Testament intact. As soon as
the monks found out that it was valua-
ble they raised such a disturbance that
the czar of Russia 11;;11 to interfere be-
fore the precious document could be
secured. It is now in the imperial li-
brary of St: Petersburg.
An earlier Syriac manuscript was dis-
covered in the monastery by two women
travelers a couple of years ago—N. 3'

CHAPTER XII. ——COTTINUED.
“ ‘14 rienus, came the answer. I un-
covered my lantern and threw a. fioOd
of light upon them. The first was an
enormous Sikh, With a black beard
which swept nearly down to his cum-
merbund. Outside of a show 1 have
never seen so tall a man. The other
was a little fat, round fellow, with a
great yellow turban, and abundle in
his hand, done up in a shawl. He
seemed to be all in a quiver with fear,

up towards me.
“ ‘Y our protection, sahib,’ he panted
——‘your protection for the unhappy
merchant Achmet. I have traveled
across Rajpootana that I might seek
the shelter of the fort at Agra. I have
been robbed and beaten and abused
because I have been the friend of the
company. It is a blessed night this
when I am once more in safety—I and
my poor possessions.’
""What have you in the bundle?’ I
asked. 3 3
“ 'An iron box,‘ he answered, ‘which
contains one or two little family mat-
tors which are of no value to others,
but VV hich I should be sorry to lose.
Yet I am not abeggar; and I shall re-
ward you, young sahib, and youi gOV-
ernor also, if he will give me the shel-
ter I ask.’
“I could not trust myself to speak
longer with the man. The more I
harder did it seem that we should slay
him in cold blood. It was best to get
it over. '
“ Take him to the main guard,’ said
I. The two Sikhs closed in upon him
on each side, and the giant walked be-
hind, while they marched in through
the dark gateway. Never was a man
so compassed round with death. I re-
mained at the gateway with the lan-
tern.
"I could hear the measured tramp of
their footsteps sounding through the
lonely corridors. Suddenly it ceased,
and I heard voices, and a scuffle, with
the sound of .blows. A moment later
there came, to my horror. a rush of
footsteps coming in my direction,
with the loud breathing of a. run-
ing man. ‘ I turned my lantern down
the long, straight passage, and there
was the fat man, running like the wind,
with a smear of blood acrOss his face,
and close at his heels, bounding like a
tiger, the great black-bearded Sikh,
with a knife flashing in his hand. I
have never seen a man run so fast as
that little merchant. He was gaining
WEEKLYyNORWALK-
I should have been court-martialed
and shot as likely as not; for people
were not very lenient at a. time like
that. ”
“Go on with your story,”sa.id Holmes,
shortlv.
“Well, we carried him in, Abdullah,
Akbar and I. A fine Weight he was,
too, for all that he was so short. Ma-
homet Singh was left to guard the
door. We took him to a place which
the Sikhs had already prepared. It was
some distance off, where a winding pas-
sage leads to a. great empty hall, the
brick walls of which were all crumbling
to pieces. The earth fioorhad sunk in
at one place, making a natural grave,
so we left Achmct the merchant there,
having first covered 111m over with
loose bricks. This done, we all went
back to the treasure. .,
“It lay where he had dropped it when
he was first attacked. The box was
the same which now lies open upon
your table. A key was hung bya.
silken cord to that carVed hand lo upon
the top. We opened it, and the liirht
of the lantern gleamed upon a collec-
tion of gems such as I have read of and
thought about when I was a little lad
at Pershore. It was blinding to look
upon them. When we had feasted our
list of them. There Were one hundred
and forty-three diamonds of the first
water, including one which has been
called, I believe, ‘theuGreat Mogul,’
and is said to be the second largest
stone in existence. Then there were
ninety-seven very fine emeralds, and
one hundred and seventy rubies, some
of which, however, were small. There
were forty carbunclcs, two hundred
and ten sapphires, sixty-one agatcs and
a great quantity of beryls, onyxcs, cats-
eyes, turquoises and other stones, the
very names of which I did not. know at
the time, though I have become more
familiar with them s1ucc. L‘csidcs
this, there were nearly three hundred
very fine pearls, tw;lve of which were
set in a gold coronet. By the way,
these last had been taken out of the
chest and were not there whcnI re-
covered it.
“After we had counted our treasures,
we put them back into the chest and
carried them to the gatev‘vay to show
them to Mahomct Singh. Then we
solemnly renewed our oath to stand by
each other and be true to our secret.
\Ve agreed to conceal our loot in a
safe place until the country should be
at peace again, and then to divide it.
equally among ourselves. There was
no use dividing it at present, for if
gems of such value were found upon
us it would cause suspicion, and there
was no privacy in the fort nor any
place where we could keep them. We
carried the box, therefore, into the
same hall where we had buried the
body, and there, under certain bricks
in the best~preserved wall, we made a
hollow and put our treasure. \Ve made
careful note of the place, and next day
I d1 cw four plans, one for each of us,
and put the sign of the four of us at
the bottom, for we had sworn that we
should each always act for all, so that
none might take advantage. That is
an oath that I can put my hand to my
heart and swear that I have never
broken. .
“Well, there’s no use my telling you,
gentlemen, what came of the Indian
mutiny. After Wilson took Delhi and
Sir Colvin relieved Lucknow he back
of the business was broken. Fresh
troops came pouring in, and Nana
Sahib made himself scarce over the
frontier. A flying column under Col.
Greathead came round to Agra. and
cleared the Pandies away from it.
Peace seemed to be settling upon the
. country, and we four were beginning
to hope that the time was at hand
when we might safely go off with our
shares of the plunder. Inamoment,
on the Sikh, and I could see that if he .
once passed me and got to the open air 2
he would save himself yet. My heart;
softened to him, but again the thought '
of his treasure turned, me hard and'
bitter. I cast my firelock between his
legs as he raced ,past, and he rolled
twice over like a. shot rabbit. Ere he
could stagger to his feet. the Sikh was
upon him, and bur” 1 his knife twice
inhis side. The never uttered
moan nor moved .11), but lay where
he had fallen. I Liz-ink myself that he ‘
may have broken his neck with the fall.
You see. gentlemen, that I am keeping
my. p1omise. I am telling you every
word of the business just exactly as it .
happened, whether it is in my favor 01 i
not.” 1
He stopped andheld out. his man- I
soled hands for the whisky and water l
which, Holmes had brewed for him. y
For myself, I confess that I had now 3
conceived the utmost horror of the 3
man, not only for this cold-blooded
business in which he had been con-
cerned, but even more for the some-
what fiippant and careless way in
which he narrated it. Whatever pun-
ishment was in store‘for him, I felt
that he might expect no sympathy from
me. Sherlock Holmes and Jones satl
with their hands upon their knees,
deeply interested-1n the story, but with
the same disgust written upon'their
faces. He may have observed it, for,
there was a touch of defiance in his
voice and manner as he proceeded.
1“It was all very bad no doubt,” said
he. “I should like to 1: now how many I
fellows in my shoes Would have re-l
fused a. sham of this loot when they ,
knew that they would have their 1
throats cut fo1 ,their pains. Besides, it
was my life or his when once he was in
the fort. If he had. got out, the whole
business would have come to light, and
.. himself next day,
however, our hopes were shattered by
our being arrested as the murderers of
Achmet.
‘ It. came about in this way. When
the rajah put his jewels into the hands
of Achmet'he did it because he knew
that he wasa trusty man. They are
suspicious folk in the east, however; so
what does this rajah do but take a sec-
ond even more trusty servant and set
him to play the spy upon the first?
This second man was ordered never to
let Achmet out of his sight, and he fol-
lowed him like his shadow. He went
after him that night, and saw him pass
through the doorway. Of course 11c
thought he had taken refuge in the
fort, and applied for admission there
but could find
no trace of Achmet. This seemed
to him so strange that he spoke
about it to -a. sergeant of guides,
who brought it to the ears of
the commandant. A thorough search
‘ was quickly made, and the body was
discovered. Thus at the very moment
that we‘ thought that all was safe we
were all four seized and brought to
trial on a. charge of murder—three of
us because 'we had held the gate that
night, and the fourth because he was
known to have been in company of the
murdered man. Not a. word about the
jewels came out at the trial, for the
rajah had been deposed and driven out
of India; so no one had any particular
.interest in them. The murder, how-
ever, was clearly made out, and it was
certain that we must all have been
concerned in it. The three Sikhs got
penal servitude for life, and I was con-
demned to death, though my sentence
was afterward commuted into the
same as the others.
“It was rather a. queer position that
we found“ ourselves in then. There
we were, all four tied by the leg and

Gazer
with precious little chance of ever get-
ting out again, while we each held a
secret which might have put each of us
in a palace if we could only have made
use of it. It was enough to make a
man eat his heart out to have to stand
the kick and the cuff of every pettv |
jack in office. to have rice to eat and
water to drink, when that gorgeous
fortune VV as ready for him outside, just
waiting to be picked up. It might have
driven me mad; but I was always a
pretty stubborn one, so I just held on
and bided my time.
“At last it seemed to me to have
come. .. I was changed from Agra. to
Madras, and from there to Blair island
in the Andamans. There are very few
white convicts at this settlement, and,
as I had behaved Well from the first, I
soon found myself a sort of privileged
person. I was given a. hut in Hope town,
which is a small place on the slopes of_
Mount Harriet, and I was left pretty
much to myself. It is a. dreary, fever-
stricken place, and all beyond our little
clearings was infested with wild canni-
bal natives, who were ready enough to
blow a poisoned dart at us if they saw
a chance. There was digging, and
ditching, and yam-planting, and a.
dozen other things to be done, so we
were busy enough all day; though in
the evening we had a. little time to our-
selves. Among other things, I learned
to dispense drugs for the surgeon, and
picked up a smattering of his knowl-
edge. All the time I was on the look-
out for a chance of escape; but it is
hundreds of miles from any other land,
and there is little or no wind in those
seas; so it was a terribly difficult job to
get away.
"The surgeon, Dr. Somerton, was a.
fast, sporting young chap, and the
other young officers would meet in; his
rooms of an evening and play cards.
The surgery; where I used to make up
my drugs, was next to his sitting-room,
with a Small Window between us.
Often, if Ifelt lonesome, I used to turn
out the lamp in the surgery, and then,
standing there, I could hear their talk
and watch their play. 1 am fond of a
hand at cards myself, and it was al-
most as good as having one to watch
the others. There was Maj. Sholto,
Capt. Morstan and Liaut. Bromley
llrown, who Vvere in command of the
native troops. and there was the sur-
geon himself, and two or three prison-
officials, crafty old hands who playeda
nice sly safe ga1ne..A very snug little-
party they used to make.
“Well, there was one thing which
very soon struck me, and that was
Mind, I don’t say
that there was anything unfair, but. so
it was. These prison chaps had done
little else than play cards ever since
they had been at the Andamans, and
they knew each other’s game to. a
point, while the others just played to
pass the time and threw their cards
doan anyhow. Night after night
the soldiers got up poorer men, and the
poorer they got the more kccn they
were to play. Maj. Sholto was the
hardest hit. llc used to pay in notcsand
gold at first, but soon it came to notes
of hand and {for big sums. Ile some—
times would win for a few deals, just
togive him heart, and then the luck
would set in against him worse than
ever. All day he would wander about
as black as thunder, and he took to
drinking a deal more than was good
for him.
“One night he lost even more heavily.
than usual. I was sitting in my hut
when he and Capt. Morstan came
stumbling along on the way to their
quarters.‘ They were bosom friends,
those two, and never far apart. The
major was raving about his losses.
" ‘It’s all up, Morstan,’ he was say-
other, slapping him upon the shoulder.
‘l‘ve had a nasty facer myself, but—-
That was all I could hear, but it was
enough to set me thinking.
“A couple of days later Maj. Sholto
was strolling on the beach; so I took
Le chance of speaking to him.
“ ‘I wish to have your advice, major,’
said I.
“ ‘Well, Small, what islit?’ he said,
taking his cheroot from his lips.
“ ‘I wanted to ask you, sir,’ said I,
‘who is the proper person to whom hid-
den treasure should be handed over. I

" Half a million, Small?’ he gasped.
looking hard at me to see if I was in
earnest.
“ ‘Quite that, sir —- in jewels and ‘
pearls. .It lies there ready for anyone.

the real. owner is outlawed and cannot
hold property, so that it belongs to the
first comer.’
“ ‘To government, Small,’ he stam-
mered—‘to government.’ But he said
it. in a halting fashion, and I knew in
my heart that I had got him.

“ ‘It rings true, ch?’ said he. ‘It’s‘
good enough to act upon?’
"Capt. Morstan nodded.
“ ‘Look here. Small,’ said the major.
‘W'c have been talking it over, my
friend here and I, and We have come to
the conclusion that this secret of yours
is hardly a goVernment matter, after
all, but is a private concern of your

power of disposing of as you think
best. Now, the question is, what price
would you ask for it? We might be i11-'
clined to take it up. and at least look
into it, if we could agree as to tenus.’
He tried to speak in a cool, careless
way, but his eyes were sluining with
excitement and greed.

swered, trying also to be cool. butlfeel-
ing as excited as he did, 'therc is only

tion can make. I shall want you to

President Kruger, of the Transvaal
republic, holds his public receptions be-

John Ila ys Hammond, the American

‘rebellion, states that three days after
his first arrival in the Gold Reef city he
' was fined 37 shillings for laughing at a
policeman.
President Kruger, of the Transvaal,
is an obese—looking man, with a. face the
color of parchment and hands and
mouth generally stained with tobacco
juice. He is very untidy in appear-
ance, thinking nothing of receiving the
most distinguished guests in his shirt

in the days of his hot youth, and one of
the earliest of his diplomatic successes
was achieved in securing the release and
pardon of men who in 1857 stood in ex-
