each is worth small fortune. There
were $50, 600 half dollars coined in the

How many hours lay unconscious
will never know. In front Of mo as l
opened my eyes was a curious, irregular
square of steely gray, with bright specks
like tinsel shining brightly. l watched
them long without another thought in
my numbed brain before, very slowly,
wondered what they were. Gradually !
began to feel sensations awakening differ
ent parts Of my body.
1t seemed the cold numbness of death
creeping over me, but not the same every
where. Some parts still tingled little,
but the rest felt quite dead and insensible.
Suddenly burning pain shot through
my right arm and ankle, growing, grow
ing till they seemed on fire. With culver
the pain made me move and brought my
mind and bSdy as out of trance, and re-
allied was alive and stretched on my
back. Where was I? What had happen
ed to me? All was q blank. My whole
body was chilled by the cold floor where
l lay, with the exception Of my right arm
and ankle, which ached and throbbed
with a Calling, fiery pain. I tried, but
unsuccessfully, to solve the mystery of my
whereabouts. could recall my mission

was trying to force my memory to &c.
ton when suddenly a shower of twigs
and gravel fell on my feet, and the square
panels of steely blue with the ragged
edges were partially obscured by some
thing.
When opened my eyes to conscious
ness second time, tho tinsel was still
twinkling in tho square of grayish blue.
But no outline of massive head and shay
gy name showed between that patch OF
Gods starry heavens and the poor wretch
entombed in the Kabyle silo.
Shuddering, I realized the fate that
awaited me. Many story had 1 heard
by our campfire of skeletons and corpses
found in these silos, showing yet in their
grim stiffness what their lingering tor
lures had been in the awful death strug-
gle. Without outside aid escape is impos-
