CHAPTER IL


Though fifty miles from a railroad,
the valley of the Troublesome was well
settled by ranchmen, and the little
village of Parkville, few miles from
divers cabin, was the meeting-place
for large section Of country. Here
gathered miners from the distant
peaks, prospectors, cowboys and sheep
herders from ranches, with the drift
around such a place, gamblers and men
with no visible means of support. In
the rough mob that congregated in the
two saloons at Parkville Oliver often
saw the Frenchman. He was general
ly intoxicated, always the widest of
the merrymakers. He met him and
Louis riding late at night at mad
pace with other vagabonds invited
from the town, and he heard of orgies
at De Restaud's home that reeked of
city slums. Oliver himself never VEN
tured towards De Restaud's house; the
road was private one, and he had no
wish to come in contact with the own
er, Sometimes he pitied the young
wife when he thought of her, but as
the days wore on her image faded. He
to DIR. John, yet he hoped before he
went away from the Troublesome to
see her again. He had promised to be
her friend.
Mike had told him the story in the
valley was that she had come to Colo
RADIO Springs with a consumptive moth
er, and that the Frenchman, who was
more careful then, and boarded at the
hotel with them, wormed himself into
the mothers confidence to such an ex-
tent that on her deathbed she desired
to leave her daughter in De Restaud's
care and prevailed upon her to be mar
ried then. A sentimental little creature
like the girl could not refuse; Oliver
had an uncomfortable feeling that she
would be too easily led. De Restaud
had brought his wife to the lonely
ranch after her mothers death, and
had kept her prisoner. He was mad
ly Jealous of her, his crazed brain inn
agining all sorts of things she never
dreamed of doing. Then it was also
thought that, as he had entire control
of her money, he kept her away from
her friends for fear that they might
question his guardianship.
Oliver was thinking of her one night
two weeks after his strange visit. He
was alone by the fire, for DIR. John had
gone to see the sick wife of ranch
man. The doctor said he felt the err
rand hopeless, as the man had told the
wife's condition, but if they thought he
might help re wouldgo.
''He is good old chap" Oliver said,
aloud. The shepherd dog, thinking the
compliment intended for him, gently
thumped his tail on the floor. There's
his gown and cap; he'll make guy Of
himself because his old landlady made
them for him. wish had told him
more about the girl at that ranch; he

They were going up hill, the horses
painting heavily. Oliver took roll of

fingers met hers, every nerve in his
frame thrilled.

timidly. Perhaps Aunt Hannah would
not like to pay so much"

Minny, then; and, besides, the bills

This wonderful cave was discovered
by cowboy in 1884 and was named
"Wind cave. from the roar of an out
rushing current of air at the entrance.
The original opening was an oval
shaped hole about eight by twelve
inches across. Soon after its discovery
the hole was enlarged to eighteen by
thirty inches. Nothing further in the
line of development was done until the
spring of 1890, when it's present owner
made an entrance easy by blasting out
the solid rock Since that date eX-
plorations have been made until at
this time about twenty-one hundred
subterranean chambers of various sizes
and shapes have been found, connected
by seventy-seven miles of passages
Enough has been learned to justify
the popular verdict that Wind cave is
the largest and most wonderful cave
in the known world. It is situated
about twelve miles north of Hot
Springs, s. D., and about fourteen
miles northwest of Buffalo Gap.
The entrance to the cave is covered

The .Petri1ed Waterfall" looked as
Il "a waterfall had burst through the
top Of the cave and was instantly
turned into stone.
Taking another passage we soon
came to the Big Lands"
The enormous chambers in the Big
Lands contain one and two acres in a
single chamber. In the center of one
of these chambers we found a small
lake about ten feet long, six feet wide
and twelve inches deep. The water
came down drop by drop from large
stalactite which hung down from
above. This miniature lake is the
only water to be found in the cave.
We were now eight miles from the
entrance of the cave. and three hun
dred and fifty feet below the surface Of
the earth.
The air is just as pure here as il could
possibly be outside the cave On our
return. before the entrance was
reached, we had to crawl through a
small hole from one chamber to an
other This hole they cali Fat Mans
Misery" Some time ago a fat man
tried to crawl through, but stuck in
the hole, and it took his friends four
hours to get him out. At last we
reached the entrance OF the cave and
once more stood in the glorious sun
light, of which not one single ray ever
penetrates the total darkness which
prevails in those weird and wonderful
caverns in Wind cave. Up to this date
they have never been able to find the
eEd If this remarkable cave.

snow lay all around us; but when
touched them | found that instead of
snow they were solid rock Myriads of
miniature stalactites sparlzled and
glittered like so many diamonds as the
light fell upon them. Enormous
stalactites. as large around as my
body, hung above us Looking up
could see large black holes, but could
not sec the end OF them; looking down
around me | could see deep, dark
holes. some of them forty feet wide.
Ghcstly shadows were to be seen
everywhere, and death-like stiffness
prevailed here that made the cold
ehills creep over me. The ghostly
shadows, fitting here and there as we
moved about with our lights, would
almost lead one to believe that this
weird end wonderful cavern was once
the home of multitude of ghosts,
hob-gobblins, demons and fairies. The
guide led the way to the side of one of
the deep, dark holes near Us, and. then
picked up a rock as large as bucket
and threw it in the hole. Down.
down, down it went, but we never
heard il strike bottom.
We soon reached the Garden Of
Eden" The top Of this large and
beautiful chamber is a solid mass of
glittcying stalactites. and the walls are
covered with little white trees with
branches about two inches long, which
resemble spun glass.
This chamber is beautiful beyond :
scription. The Garden IF Eden" IS
three miles from the entrance Of the
cave.
Next we visited the Popcorn
room. where it looks as if some one
had thrown car load of popped corn
against the walls, and it had stuck
there and petrified. The "Confeetion-
cry department" is chamber with its
walls covered with small white and
brown rocks, which look exactly like
chocolate cream caranels.
