ton to desert those scenes amid
which, he assured them, he had
passed many pleasant hours. His
boat he left as souvenir, and after
a courteous farewell disappeared
over the range. Previous to his
departure, however, he had bought
a small Spanish jackass for the pur-
pose, he informed them, Of depart
ing from the country in a more
genteel manner than he had en-
tered it.
On the day of his departure one
of the residents of Avila was re-
turning from San Luis and en-
countered the quondam tramp
leading his burro, which appeared
to be laden with some extremely
heavy substance. The information
rekindled the curiosity of the Avi-
lanos, and party was organized
for the purpose of exploring the
coast line and discovering, if posi-
BILE, the late residence of their de-
parted guest. They departed in a
small boat, and were soon engaged
in closely scrutinizing the inlets of
the coast. At length the attention
of one of the party was attracted by
the appearance of numerous foot
prints in the sand near the base of
an inaccessible cliff. He at once
drew the attention of his compan-
ions to his discovery, and they de-
termined to disembark and follow
up the clew. Upon nearing the
cliff small circular opening was
observed about three feet from the
ground. The footprints led directly
to this opening and there they were
lost. From this it was, of course,
apparent that an entrance to the
cavern-if one existed-was neces-
sary to a solution of the mystery.
Accordingly, messenger was dis
patched for the purpose of securing
some method of illumination. He
soon returned and the party en-
tered the aperture. A short pass
age opened into
A LOFTY CIRCULAR CAVERN,
About eighty feet in diameter. It's
internal appearance was extremely
forbidding, and it was impossible
to conceive how any human being
could have selected it as a place of
abode. The floor was composed of
sand and seashells that had evil
IDENTIFY been recently disturbed. In
one corner of the cavern was discov-
cred cavity some three feet in
depth, apparently excavated but a
short time before. Among the de-
bris were discovered several Span
ish copper coins, none of which
bore a date later than the year 1850.
Near the cavity the framework of
seaman's chest in the last stages of
decay was found, and there was al
so picked up the mildewed pages of
a vessels logbook.
These discoveries, as may be i'm
agined, excited to its most intense
degree the curiosity of the ex-
plorers. In the midst of an ami
mated discussion regarding the So
luton of the mystery, one of the
party chanced to glance upward at
the overhanging walls, and there,
rudely sculptured in the basalt cell
ing, was the following:

50 feet wide. There are three arched en-
frances to the vestibule. Each is fitted with
double bronze gates, of which each half is
feet 2 inches wide by feet D inches high,
cast in one piece with ali its ponderous bars
and graceful scroll work, and weighing 900
pounds. There are in all eleven of these
double gates, into which and into the grating
around the lanterns above the roof have been
put sixteen tons OF bronze The gates that
close the entrances are precisely like those
that shut III the several sections of the cata-
combs. An amateur burglar would be likely
to think that II would be an easy matter to
get through those gates. Ho would be wrong.
The bronze is tough and almost as hard as
steel. Closing a pair OF gates throws bars
from them up and down deep into the bronze
sockets sunk in tho heavy masonry. The

To the chapel interior there is but one door,
and that opens from the vestibule directly
opposite the central exterior gate. That door
is composed of two limestone slabs, ten

When fully opened the door is feet inches
wide and feet high. Its ponderous halves
are swung ON anti-friction piyots of phos-

take good deal of a grown persons time to
open that door by force. 1t is fitted, like

rections into the solid masonry when it is
closed, and lock it there. But even If a bur-
glar should get through that door he would
find himself confronted by another set of

A NIGHT RIDE by KAIL

Deep into the night we flew, through the great
plains broadening far
To the south of hills and the north of seas, low
under moon ana star.
And we scared with midnight shrek the slum.
bering haunts of men,
Diyed into the gloom of forests whirled out by
river and fen;
On and away. and ever away, through the night
like moving flame,
TIL the folk have a different speech and the
lands have another name
We had left tho cloud in our wake, the sky had
been overcast,
But here was the moon stood STILL and the world
went wildcrtng past
And there grew such a sense of space, like a
prisoner suddenly freed,
In that slumberous rest of motion, safe borne on
the wings OF speed
And the silvery greys of midnight, the shadowy
land, the stream,
Grew part with the phantom pictures 'twixt
sleep and u waking dream.
So the night went by and Il wave of light gained
over us while we sped,
The stars went down in the rosy wave and the
westering shadows ilcd;
A wide opalescent water lay blanched In the
dawn mists dim.
And the blaze of the advent day grew flame on
the eastward rim.
The work of the world began for team and har-
row and hind.
The smoke curled up from the farm house roof
and mixed with the morning wind;
Then we came TO aworld OF meadows. pastoral
land of kline,
The meads were grayed with the early dew, the
poplars waved In q line;
The grazing cattle looked up to the stars as over
| their plains we dew,
| Their bells rang crisp in the morning chill you
could SOC their tracks in the dew.
| Then the hills began, and the covert side. aud

| And here and there was II village spre, with a

And carts laid up In the central ,street, ant
