indeed we were, in the dusk of a lowery

our destination.
Our party halted at the first tavern

and myself, who, unable to stomach
it's appearance, wallowed on, stopping
once to inquire of a miner for the best
hotel in the place, which, he informed
us, was pete Denny's," at the end Of

with a jerk Of his thumb a side door In
the room and at the same time backing
suddenly to the entrance, with an ex.
preston of fear in his ugly face, while
his owlish eyes kept winking and
blinking.
Utterly amazed, tried to speak, tried
to find voice to ask him what he was
driving at. Indeed, Jacks tongue
seemed tied, too; and the fellow had
already backed out of the room and
shut the door quickly, and we heard
him go bounding down the dark stairs,
as if ghost was after him, before
either of US could open our mouth tc
articulate a sound.

Jack, who appeared to be coming out
Of a stupor, what do you make out OF

Il make out of it," he replied, with
an effort, that we are in for some
strange adventure. What did he mean
by it, setting to work, doing the job
to say nothing of what else he said?"
Evidently we shall find that out by
opening that side door which he indi-
Gated. And he called me doctor. How
the deuce does he know I am doctor?
All this looks like real mystery, Jack
Shall we follow it up?'

toward the side door.

of it?"
YES" said Jack, and that leads me
to believe we are on the point Of MAX

not imagine what-but which will
bring that villain, and perhaps Pete
himself, into the tolls of the law"
Having delivered himself of this
sage conclusion Jack washed himself,
and after l had done likewise, we went
below to see about supper, exerting
ourselves to our utmost to appear as

he thought. very slightly. He paid no

him very realistically of the injury il
had received, and an investigation on
Tuesday showed that one OF the bones

Wants Better Light.

To the Editor Of The TRIBUNE:
SIR Meridian street taxpayers want TO
know why they can't have one light at
least at the intersection Of Meridian street
and Luzerne avenue. There is no place in
more need Of n light than this spot. We
are asked to vote for bridges and vote for
parks, when we have been asking for a
light that is a necessity and can't get one.
IL you want our vote on the bridges give
us light, and that before election. No
promises We have been travelling in the
dark tho last seven years on promises. The
long-suffering taxpayers OF our vicinity do
not intend to vote for any bridges until
they get some benefit themselves. For the
past several years they never received any
benefits from the city only what they paid
for, according TO contract, and we think
we are entitled to one light, at least,
