ing a huge perpendicular funnel or
chimney in the rock, down one side of
which poured stream of water, while
through cleft above, dazzlingly ra-
diant after the darkness of the buried
passage, came bright CLEAN of sun
shine Just then a big stone, flung
from above, came laundering down
into the chasm, falling close to the feet
of the two explorers.
"That's the boys at their fun," said
Jack, laughing. "Ive done it many a
time myself. Above there-hoy!"
The only answer was howl of terror
and the sound of flying feet. Pierre,
alarmed at the thought of being desert
ed, shouted in his turn.
Help, comrades! help!"
"Whose that calling?" asked gruff
voice from above, while the light was
obscured by broad visage peering
down into the hole.
.Holloa, Gaspard! is that you?" cried
Pierre, recognizing the voice of one Of
his fathers fisher cronies.
"What, Pierre Lebon! you down
there? Well, who ever saw the like?
just wait minute, while l run for a
rope"
But before he could return there were
already more than hundred people
gathered around the hole, for the news
of human voice having been heard out
of the "Larve Chimney" rs the chasm
was called, had spread far and wide.
The waterfall on one side and the
sharp rocks on the other made it no
easy matter to draw the boys up safely.
But at length they We're dragged forth
into the daylight, to be embraced and
shouted over by the whole town, and TO
receive, a few days later, the praises of

er with the three thousand francs which
they had so bravely earned.-Ha,per's

TRACKING A BURIED RIVER.


The Adventure pt Two sailor BOYS.
The sum of 5000 francs 5000 will he
paid by the Scientific Association Of MorlaiX
10 any one who shall succeed in tracing the
course OF the Larye, and asccrtaining
whether IL hiss any underground commune
cation with the sea.
FELIX DELARoCHE, President.
Snch was the announcement which,
posted in the quaint three-cornered
market-place Of the old French town of
Longchamp, attracted good many
readers, and among the rest two lads in
sailor costume, one of whom remarked
10 the other:
"What holiday we'd have if IRE
could earn it, eh, Pierre, my boyP'
81 should think so, But nobody will
earn that reward very soon. Don't you
remember how, year ago, they
widened the cleft into which the stream
falls, and let down a man with Ian
tern, and how, before he'd gone thirty
feet, he got bumped against rock and
broke his lantern, and hurt himself so
badly that he had TO be hauled up
again?n
True; it's not very likely job.
Well, come along. and let's get the
boat out.
Pierre Lebon. the younger of the two,
was 1.-the, olive-cheeked, merry little
fellow, whose slim figure and jaunty
black curls contrasted markedly with
the burly frame and thick sandy hair of
his chum. jacques Naudry. The latter
ought rightly to have been called Jack
Forirey, for he was an English boy,
born IN Guernsey: hut having been
adopted by Breton fisherman after his
fathers death, both he and his name
had got considerably Frenchified.
The boys had 10 manage by them
selves the boat of which they were joint
owners, for old Simon Lebon, Pierre's
real and Jacks adopted father, was now
too aged and rheumatic to help them in
their work, except by advising them
when to start and where TO go. But his
advice was ALWAYS good, for in his time
he had been one of the best fishermen
on the coast, and the lads were usually
very successful.

good luck seemed 10 nave IorsakeH
them, for. try as they might, they could
catch nothing worth mentioning. Posi-
bly, they were thinking too little of their
work and too much of the reward Of
fered by the Scientific Association; for
three thousand francs would have been
quite fortune to them both. More
over, the idea of tracking an under
ground river had spice of romance and
adventure about it which was the very
thing to tempt them.
The little stream of the Larve had
long been the acknowledged puzzle of
the whole neighborhood. After skirt
ing the town for some distance, it van
ished into the earth through a narrow
cleft, and was seen no more. Where it
went to after that, no one could tell :;
and, as we have seen, the first attempt
to find out had succeeded so badly that
nobody felt much inclined for second.
Tired out at length the unsuccessful
fishers went home, inwardly resolving
TO try whether they might not
have better fortune by night
than by day. Pierre, indeed, when
the night came, began to have
idea, having heard his father say once
and again that it was very dangerous
thing TO attempt at that season. But
the hardest thing in the world for a boy
to do is to draw back from any thing
simply because it is dangerous. Rather
than let Jack think him afraid, Pierre
would have gone to sea on hen-coop;
so thew stole out of the cottage as noise
lesslv as possible, and away they went
over the dim gray waste of sea, half
lighted by the rising moon.
The stake of fish was a verv good
one this time, and the bows began to
think their night VOYAGE a lucky idea;
but they were rejoicing too soon. A lit
tie after midnight the skv began to
cloud over and the sea rise in way
which showed that there was a storm
brewing. They put about at once, and
made for the shore. but long before they
reached it the storm burst upon them
in all its fury.
In an instant the boat was half full of
wafer and IL was all thev co,,ld do IN
keen her from founderinG OUTRIGHT. as
they few through the great white roar
ring waves. thumped and banged about
from side to side, and drenched to the
skin at every plunge by the flying gusts
of spray. Pierre crashed the filler in
his half-numbed hands, while Jack held
on with all his might to the "sheetr
that steadied their little threc-cornered
sail, at which the wind tugged as if
meaning to tear it away altogether.
The little craft held her own gallantly,
and the young sailors began to hope
that, after all, they might make the en-
trance of the bay without accident, but
just then an unlucky shift of the wind
tore the sail clean away, and the boat,
falling off at once, was swept helplessly
toward the formidable cliffs beyond.

PERJURY AND THEFT.

John II. Burke has forwarded statement
to the Board of Equalization at Sacramento,
asking that the Banks of San Francisco be
made to pay taxes in full. Seven banks in
San Francisco have been assessed for s. or
VIC less than the cold cash lying in their vaults.
The Nevada Bank lodged the assessor for
81, 94l .682, the Bank Of California for ST.
bO2, 476, the Anglo Californian, $459, 665;
Bank Of British Columbia 4161 ,474; British
North American $40 500; Wells Fargo 4 Co
$500. 1913; Pacific $433, 1888
In order to accomplish this, the men who
swear to the statements are obliged to commit
deliberate Cat footed perjury; and the corpora
tons who gain by the operation, defraud the
State out Of q certain sum Of money. The
poor Taxpayers are obliged. to make up the
sum which the rich escape paying. This
method of procedure which has been going
Oh for years, is practically, stealing from the
poor. 1t is high time that the men who per-
pstrate these crimes year after year, were
made to ponder over their rascalitiss in the
cells Of the penitentiary.

TIE FAULT OF THE INDIANs.--The Enter
prise does not believe that the Piutes make
much Roadway following up stage robbers 1t
says:
There isa sort of superstition that Indians
Oan trail any living thing, even a BUNDLE. bee,
and that whenever they start to hunt white
man they can run him down. Stimulated BY
the offered reward, a number Of Piutes started
ON hnnt for the Bodie stage robbers, and,
notwithstanding that the Carson APPEAL, with
its usual enterprise, published. for the guild.

aud robbed the stage again in few days At
the very scene of the 6rst exploit. There never
was but one party of Indians in this State
that tracked white criminal, and they came
ON their naa BY accident and had to kill him
to take him.
The fact of the case was that tho bull-head-
ed Indians preferred to follow their noses in
preference to onr map. The country is full

the we'll meant advice of the APPEAL.

For years we have been suffering under an

MIR. Martin to the seat in Congress to which
he has been declared elected.
We propose to make manly protest against
the operation of the unjust and oppressive
laws. and seek the protection of the Constitu-
ton of the nation, which guarantees to all its
citizens Republican form of government
Relying ON the active aid and hearty Coop
