q. ~Tle first time crossed this cursed
plaza l found him lying in the sand
dyin2 for water. as we were just now.
That is why he came for me. An Indian

Dick. I'VE should not have gone much
farther

gone. IL went this morning WREN

my word that the Malpais is the only
thing in the world that am afraid Of,
but am afraid of this
The Indian guided them to where he
had made his camp, and where some
sticks were still burning. Then after
they had prepared and eaten some food,
they rested until nightfall before resum-
ing their journey.
Early the next day they came 20
Easton's camp. and to where in a narrow
cmyon-a mcre cleft in the level sur
face Of the plain-he was seeking for the
Lost Mine.
The night after arrival the two. men
sat late, Easton explaining his reasons
for believing he was on the right track
To find the treasure.
From u stont chest he brought out
maps aud documents, yellow, old and
tattered.
II have been n long time gathering
these, he said, land have travelled q
long way in search of them. But it has

plainly enough the mine lies in this
canyon. have made some false starts,
and Nanni and hare dug at these
rocks many a weary day. But it will all
be paid hack in the end.t'
His sublime confidence in final success
could not but infuse Dick with some Of
his companions anxiety to be again at
work.
In the morning the three went into the
canyon.
''All this stuff said Easton, point
ing TO great mass of rock and earth
that had been newly turned, "Nanpi
and have taken out Of. that hole. 1t
was never put there by nature-that is
clear enough-but was dumped in there
by some humans, for some purpose. That
purpose" he continued confidently,
was to hide tine view Of the ore
Even Dick with his Impractical eye
could see that fill had evidently been
made at some time. and certainly no
more plausible reason could be suggested
than that advanced by Easton.
Ii was serious work, digging there in
the canyon The hot sun never abated
his fury. and it was not in mortal man
to toll with pick and shovel under his
burning rays. When the moon shone,
they worked at night, and when the
nights would not permit they did Us best
they might Mt morning and evening.
The days grew into weeks. and then
n month had passed. and they had done
nothing but penetrate q little farther
into the wall Of the canyon. Then one
day Dick dropped his pick and was down
ON hands and knees delving in the, de-
bris. When he rose mp, he held some
thing that glittered in the sunlight.
Easton came and took it from him.
and his hands trembled as he touched it.

a wedding. at Flaest2sf he must be there.
The journey this time was wholly
uneventful. But at the end there was a
pretty wedding at Flagstaff. ard when
the train pulled out Tor tho cast there
were two happy people en- board, and
one disconsoi2te old man waving his
adieus from the platform.
But he is not so very unhappy now
The nino is paying enormously. and is
being worked by great company, Of
which Dick is president and Easton the
general manager.

BRYAN In CHICAGO.
He Makes I'm All Nine Speeches IN
the Headquarters Of Att
geld, the Anarchist.

Chicago. Oct. ga first OF series OF
nine speeches was delivered by Mr.. Bryan
at Siansssaus hall. Bradley and Noble
streets. Mr.. Bryan was greeted with an
audience OF fully 10000 people, packed into
one Sold mass OF humanity in the hall,
while fully as many more ciar1ored In vain
for admission on all sides OF the large
building. Twenty little girls dressed In
white sang the Red White and Blue, "at
the conclusion OF which one of their num-
Der carried an enormous bouquet to Mr..
Bryan.
Leaving Stanislaus hall, Mr. Bryan was
driven to halls on the north and north
west portions OF tho city In the following
order: Lincoln Turner hall. in University:
Garfield Turner hall, Garfield avenue and
Larrabee street: Hague's hall, Claybourne
and Southport avenues: Social Turner hall,
in Belmont avenue; North Shore Turner
hall, Clark street and Chicago avenue:
Mueller's hail. Grants hall and Alphonse
hall. All of these meeting places were
crowded to the utmost limit with howl
ing masses of voters. and Mr.. Bryan's
reception Gas cordial m the extreme. As
Mr.. Bryan was approaching Mueller hall.
q mighty storm burst over the city, but Il
was una bic. apparently. to quench the ar
dor Of the throngs which lined the streets.
Mr.. Bryan's progress from hall to hall
grew more and more difficult. At times
II seemed to be a question whether tho
crowds on the outside would admit him to
the inside OF the different halls. Finally
II became necessary TO send for q special
detail of police. and keep patrol wagons
filled with bluecoats IN close proximity to
his carriage The patrol wagons dashed
ahead OF his carriage and opened a pass
ageway apparently regardless of conse-
quences 10 the crowds through which they
forced n way.

prosperity wtil not be with you. concede
the dessrabiiity OF increasing our primary
money and our circulating medium. but
the trouble We have experienced during
the last three years Is not due to lack of
money. We have just as much money IN
the country today as we have had for
many years past; but we have not always
experienced the same nard times which
We have been forced to go through since
the 4th of March, 1892. Look to the days OF
protection and reciprocity. when We were
gaining In wealth. over $2.5o0.000 per day.
and why were we then gaining IN wealth?
Because every man who wanted to labor
found labor. Although we had less money
In those days Of prosperity than we havo
now, there were no complaints of hard
times. Idle money, Ike an Idle man. Is OF
no use 70 any one. Therefore, say that
we are suffering not so much from q lack
of volume OF money as from a lack of its
circulation. Money to commerce is Ike
blood 10 the human system. You may
have ple1ty of blood. but II it fails to cir
cuiate you are gone. What will circulate
the money of the country? Labor. Money
IS the blood of commerce, burt labor Is the
great heart that by It's strength sends the
circulating medium to the great arteries
and veins of trade. If you stop the labor
OF the nation. the financial pulse falls
weak and unsteady. and leaves the body
poHtic subject 10 all sorts OF disease and
disaster. What will give III labor? pro-
tectsye Har.r. Such a policy stops hiring
others to do the work that ought 10 DO
done by American labor, and carries out
In a practical way the advice OF Mr..
Bryan. This will bring the money from
its hiding place and put II in circulation.
Give man with . hungry stomach q
chance to dis your coal In this country,
instead OF hiring Il done IN Canada: give
the hungry man In this country chance
10 cut down your trees and make your
lumber. instead OF hiring Canadians to do
1t; give the man with the empty hands and
a hungry stomach a chance to make your
cloth. feed your sheep and clip your wool,
instead OF paying million dollars day
to foreigners to do It: give the American
workman an honest days labor and a
chance TO make fair wages paid In good
money. and you have very nearly solved
all there IL to the financial question
