platform of planks. with ropes going up
from the corners to the main cable. which
was of hemp. When we reached tight
place in the shaft we stopped and trimmed
out the guides, then went on till another such
place was reached.
AT one point, having given the signal to
lower. we went down some distance, when
we finally stuck. We reached for the bell
rope in order to give the signal to stop, but
we found that it had wound round nail
some distance above, and we could not use
it. The engineer knew nothing of cur trouble,
and continued to lower away. There was
no station neal, and on all sides rose the
smooth walls of the shaft, leaving US Sus-
pended over the horrible chaSm.
Down upon us came the heavy cable. We
feared every moment that the platform
would turn over or would be pressed through
the tight place and drop from under us.
All we could do was to get hold of the ca
BILE and keep the coils of it under our feet as
it came down. Should the platform turn
over or drop from under us we might be able
TO save our lives by hanging on to the cable.
We shouted up the shaft till we were
hoarse. but no one heard our cries, and
steadily down came the cable, causing us
great trouble to keep on top of its coils.
We felt that the great weight must soon
start the platform, when bOtn would most
likely be hurled to the bottom of the shaft.
Finally, to our great relief, the cable
ceased to descend. For a long time we
waited in suspense, not knowing what would
be the next move of those above. At last,
however, we heard the voice of man shout
ing down TO us from the nearest station
above.
We explained our perilous position in
few words, and again the great cable began
to crawl slowly up the shaft again. Still be-
ing afraid the platform would give way we
were obliged to keep hold Of the rope and
dance about on the coils as They uuw0und.
1t was tedious business and was all the
time matter of tile toss of a cent whether
we got out alive or went to the bottom; but
at last the platform tightened up under us,
and we began to ascend. Our work was
over then and we felt safe.
On arriving at the surface we found that
the engineer had concluded that we were
going too far, and hating, or stopping his
engine, had sent n man down to the station
to find out if anything had gone wrong.

in the mines, but was never in place where
the danger lasted SO long, ana all the time

oozed. Death was instantaneous. But lit

The Foremost woman of Letters.

DOna Emilia Pardo Bazan is undoubtedly
the foremost living woman of letters in
Spain. Indeed it would be hard to name a
man more eagerly sought after by editors
than she, or more frequently contributor
to the leading periodicals of Spain. She
herself was the founder and is now, we
believe, the editor Of the Revista de Galicia.
or a noble family, she early gave indica-
tons Of her extraordinary literary faculty.
Famous now as a novelist, she is something
more than that, as may be inferred from
these two titles; 1.-The Epic Christian Po-
ets-Dante, Milton and Tassn," and "a
Critical Essay on Darwinism." In 1889 a
popular movement sprang up to secure her
vacant seat in the academy. She failed of
election, says the New York Nation, owing
to the prejudice Of the respectable academi-
clans against so startling an innovation as
the admission of woman into their honora-
BILE ranks.
