The "crowd" saw them and an encour-
aging cheer reached their ears.
Jones stopped q moment and looked
around, and Golden, taking advantage
OF the pause, stepped briskly ahead,
but the Welshman was by his side In a
moment. They were In the shadow OF
the entrance, and the next minute
standing on either side OF the shieve
wheel, at the brink OF the descent, gsz-

low.
Are ye satisfied now?" asked Golden.
Yes. IL you want to go no further"

me both want to marry Bridget. Now,

TO the ghost, and the first what gets
scared loses the girl. Will you do itP
Golden agreed.
DOWN THE INCLINE SLOWLY.
Both at once started down the incline
slowly and carefully, for the way was
covered with debris. They clambered
down for about thirty feet, but saw no
sign Of a ghost.
TEN fellers must have been drunk
at last said Golden.
Just then they saw<far down the
slope a tiny spark Of Hght. The next
moment 1t disappeared, aud as they
strove to pierce the darkness again it
shone for a moment in another position.

The hood had fallen from the head u

Nothing except Pve go: the money
NV fa,bef left me. Hl/was afraid Of
bnrrlars and banks, and hid all the
money he saved for me in the COB here.
7 did az know until q week ago, when |
for nd a letter In the old Bible he had
telling me to go down No. Z slope TO the
6-foot vein and did in the COB under the
blower OF gas that looks like a cross. l
came down one day and brought q pick
and shovel, and KNOWN my father was
killed by the gas explodin', l oorred a
safety lamp. When | was goln' out Of
the slope the first day some kids saw
me and | was afeared they might guess
what I was after and get the money, so
| came here at night and hanted Is.
Tonight l was goin' to dig 1t out and
was done the slope, when |
hears you and some other Teller coming
down. Then / tries to scare you by
showing the lamp and hidin' 1t agin',
and by bittin' O. the old pipes with a
stone, but yer didn't scare, and then l
yelled up through the old speakin' tube
and that set We off. Then l went up the
slope and found you, washed yer face
with sui pur water and brought yer back
to yer senses. You thought was the
ghost and i kept it up. Lord, IL was
lots o. fun and you was awful fright

IL was q neat little sum they gathered
up from the pot and the next day put
10 the bank, to be used when they start
in housekeeping, which will be in the

tarily glanced behind him. as If fearing
the ghost had cut of their retreat.
Once more the strange light was visible
below them, and again in a different
spot. The strain was too much ~.for
Golden, and he shouted
"Who the devil are you?"
The light was stationary now, and
they mentally estimated it was $50 feet
away. Almost impatiently they walt
ed for an answer and again vas Col
den going TO shout, when from the
depths below them came a ringing
sound, sharp and clear, as II a blow had
been struck on some metallic substance.
The men instinctively cIasped each
others hands, and as they stood there
another blow was struck and another
and another, until they had counted
sever
Seven. The ghost Of No. Y" they
exclaimed.
NEITHER OF THEM SPOKE.
A minute that seemed hours long
passed; each was trying TO find tongue
when suddenly in their very ears, seem
ing to come from the walls and from the
roof, there was a ~chuckling "Ha-ha-ha-
ha," ending in a shrek.
With an oath Jones turned and fed
up the slope. Golden, too, turned to
dash away, but, as he did so, his foot
caught, he pitched heavily forward and
he lost his senses.
A wet hand placed on his face re-
vived him. He struggled a moment
and sat up. A dim light revealed tae
timbers around him aud the narrow
track stretching away iato ~5lackness
below him. The light seemed 10 come
from behind, and he turned his head,
which throbbed painfully, aud then
sprang TO his feet with a yell OF terror,
and then on his knees, crying, mercy,
mercy" for standing above him was a
dim figure, holding in its hand a lamp
shedding a light as dim and ghotly as
Itself.
"Go down the slope" said q voice
from the figure, with measured accent.
"Go down tho slope" repeated the
voice, and Golden staggered downward
over the masses of loose coal and rock.
The figure followed closely, as be could
see by the light.
NOT A WHITE GHOST.
Unlike the ghosts of his superstitious
f~ancies, this thing was not white, but
appeared attired Ia q dark garment,
reaching to it's feet.
Some two hundred feet Golden and
the ghost proceeded and then the ghost
exclaimed:
Turn into the six foot vein"
Golden had by that time recovered
some OF his self-posession. THE ghost
KNOWS the mine WELL" he said TO him
self, and he turned from the slope into
the narrow opening at the side.
The next instant be gave a cry, for
before mis- staring eyes shone In a blaze
Of light the shape OF a cross, about a
foot long. The light from this lit up
the chamber in which he found himself
very distinctly, and with a sickness al
his heart he recognized 1t as the spot
where, two years before, be and a party
OF men had found the body OF old Dad
McDade.

1t was almost certain death, l
thought, but it had to be done. On
the opposite side Of the swamp were
the members of our army, watching US
with deepest interest and ready to keep
US in any way In their power. But tho
bridge was burning aud the "Rso'

All was ready; wet blankets over

There was terrible danger OF ex-

got over safely. As the last a reach

Not ten minutes had passed after our
battery had reached safety when the

The bridge had become a thing OF the
past: all that was left OF 1t WAS a heap

The Baily mill at Allerton is running

About forty of these have made preiimi-

Good Hope and south Africa, and others
are talking of going to Brazil. Hard
times here, work elsewhere and cheap
transportation largely influenced them,
although they claim the principal cause
is that they are marked men and have no

CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.
Am Exhaustive Plan Adopted by the
Earnest WOrk-Re-
pubIIcans Not Idle.

Washington, Aug. 22.-With the clos,
of congress the managers of the con
gressional national campaign committees
! are preparing for the fall campaign witt
much energy. Senator Faulkner, at the
head of the Democratic committee, is
directing his efforts toward holding q
Democratic majority in the house OF
representatives. Extensive headquarters
are in operation with the executive
work in charge of Secretary Lawrence
Gardner.
The work thus far has been in prepar-
ing full statistics of districts, writing the
campaign book and in circulating docu-
ments. The campaign book is about
half completed. 1t will be a volume of
about 800 pages, showing the work of
congress and the reform claimed to have
been made in the departmental service.
1t will be furnished to speakers as text
for their efforts on tho stump.
The statistics gathered are the most
elaborate ever undertaken by the COM
mittee. They show not only the votes
by counties for the last four congress
sional elections, but in close districts the
figures are carried out to townships,
wards and even precincts. In addition
to the numerical vote, a system of per-
centages has been adopted by which the
percentage of gain necessary to success,
or loss threatening defeat, can be exactly
determined.
Another plan of ready reference is by
shaded maps of the districts in which
the various colors show the strength of
Republicans, Democrats, Populists, Pro-
hibitionists etc. with the figures as to the
vote of each party.
Documents are being shipped in large
quantities, but the main supply. parti-
cularly on the tariff bill, will not 90 out
until congress has adjourned and all I'M
certainty on the question has been re-
moved.
The Republican congressional cam
paign, in the absence of Secretary Olds,
is in charge of Assistant Secretary Thos.
H. Mckee. By the decision of the Re-
publican committee the congressional
campaign is left entirely in the hands of
the congressional committee, Chairman
Manly acting in an advisory capacity.
The headquarters force is just now en-
gaged>in getting together the campaign
text book, which Capt. Mckee expects to
have issued by September l.
The committee has had its headquarters
open continuously from November last,
and since that time has circulated 2,OOO,-
600 pieces Of nmpaign literature. This
work will be pushed with even greater
diligence from this time forward. The
committee furnishes matter for page
each week to several plate printing and
press associations, which is said to be in
demand by all newspapers about the
country.
complete canvass has been made of
every congressional district in the coun-
try and the work to be done mapped out
and systematized.

California wine Syndicate.

New York, Aug. 22.-The World says:
Several far-seeing Califorrians have lately
taken steps to form wine syndicate to
control and regulate the price Of prod
ucts of the vineyards. There are nearly
1000 acros of vines in California. The
value of the property in the cellars is
estimated at nearly Ss0,0OO,000. For six
or seven years past the vineyards have
produced yearly about 100000 galIons
of wine in excess of the demand, and
prices dropped till it was not profitable
to pick grapes.
