thinking it over" asked for solitude
and quiet surroundings; and after
leaving Ludlow, Ringbrand walked on
up the valley, skirting the base of the
mountain until he came to a rough
cart road leading toward the summit.
He took it because it plunged into the
forest and offered shade; and after that
he paid little attention to direction or
distance until he found himself before
what appeared to be an abandoned
mine. The mouth of the opening was
choked up with broken timbers and
masses of rock,p and on a board nailed
to a tree growing out OF a crevice just
above the tunpel arch he read: NC
Nabb Tunnel, T. C. & I. Co." The name
brought back Ludlow's story of the
feud and the lawsuit, and he examined
the place with awakening interest.
From the small cleared space in front
of the working he could see the extent
of the cove with it's shelving sides pitch
ing down toward the yellow fields in
the center; and, as there was but one
house in sight IN the bowllike depres-
sion, he concluded at onceothat it was
the home of the Bynums- Turning
again to the tunnel, he found that by
scrambling over the pile of debris in
the entrance he could reach a place
where the height of the excavation
permitted him to stand upright; and
when his eyes became accustomed to
the dim halflight, he looked about him
with the 'observant curiosity of one
who sees latent possibilities for the
collecting of literary material from the
most commonplace Surroundings.
There was little to be seen save the
ragged walls of coal and a few rusty
mining tools; the heading stopped alb
ruptly about 80 feet from the entrance,
and the excavation was a mere irreg-
ular gap I'm the edge of the thick seam
of coal. While he was examining a
miners lamp which he found sticking
in a ,crevice, he felt breath of cold
air which seemed to come from above,
and, looking up, he saw q narrow rift
in the sandstone roof of the tunnel
from which the ,draught appeared to
issue. Lighting the lamp and thrust
ing it up into the aperture on the end
of a stick, he could see that the rift
widened above the opening and that it
extended indefinitely into the mountain
at right angles to the direction of the
tunnel. The opportunities for further
exploration seemed promising, and
Ringbrand, yielding to an inquisitive
impulse, drew himself UP into the crew
ice by the help of a coal pick. BY the
smoky flare of the lamp he could see
that he was standing in natural tun-
mel of considerable height rupniDp
crosswise of the coal working and com

was evident that the latter opening
was artificial or accidental, he deter
mined to ascertain if there was any
other means of egress from the cavern.
Turning to the left, the exploration
came, shortly to an end against wall
of broken rock and detritus which
completely filled the crevice; re-
tracing his steps, he pushed forward
in the opposite direction, meeting
with no obstacle for a considerable

scarcely taken shape before it's answer
appeared in the form of q double row
of rude inches cut in the wall and run

his feet he saw the imprint of a mans

the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
