said Juan; "the doctors coffee is
ready"
Serve it at once. You will eat with
me-you and this muchachito."
Juan set about it and soon the three
were breakfasting together. ''It is
but another of his whims," Juan whis-
pered to the Indian boy beside him,
Gin the which he must always be hui
mored.''
Regarding his master in such
light, it is not surprising that Juan
should have listened in silence to the
instructions that the doctor hurriedly
poured forth, as he hastily gulped
down his coffee and cheese; nor that
a the meals conclusion, he leisurely
undertook the task that his master
had set him, with stolid indifference
to the doctors Impotence. For the
Aztec is not easily moved, nor do
oaths eXasperate him, unless they ac-
cuse his mother. He does not like to
be called dog, but he passes the un-
kind epithet by in naughty, dignified
silence.
The horses were saddled and ready
at last, the bags we'll filled with pro.
visions and sundry curious packages
that the doctor himself stuffed into
them; and they finally set out in sin
gle file, the Indian boy on foot leading
the way, the doctor next with his
rifle, and Juan bringing up the rear,
with such an assortment of spades
and machetes as might have stocked
a gardeners tool house.
1t was not the first time the doctor
had climbed the mountains. He had
spent days in the Cerro-Quemado col
Letting mineral specimens, and always
with half-confessed hope that some
time he might discover that which
would enable him to return to civil
luXuries that were beyond the reach
of men SO poor as he. Not until he
might do so would he return to it, he
had vowed; and now, by the merest
chance in the world, this Indian boy
had come to him, and would lead him
to where he might find the weapon
with which the world could be con-
quered. No wonder the doctor spur
red his horse and urged the boy to
hasten.
Across the arroyas and mountain
brooks and over the va-capped foot
hills the Indian boy with tireless feet
and silent faithfulness led them, till
finally the forests became too dense
for the horses to carry them further.
Here the beasts were unsaddled and
tied, and after'a hurriedly eaten lunch
the three divided the things they had
brought and climbed on up the noun
tain. 1t was no light work over the
rocks covered with bushes and thorn
clad vines, but they found it still
worse when the forest was passed,
and they came out on to a steep in
cline that was fathoms deep in ashes,

over fields of lava and volcanic Stag,
the trio climbed persistently, until
they stood on the mountains crest
and gazed down into the ominous
depths of the crater that yawned be-
fore them.
ut is there, senor," the boy said
simply, pointing toward the black
mouth of cavern, half obscured by
cloud of steam that shrilly escaped
from some unseen crevice.
''It is the mouth of hell" exclaimed
Juan. Even the sturdy doctor shrank
back, but the lust for gold will lead
man to brave the greatest danger.
Come them" he cried.
The Indian boy detained him.
mot that way, senior; see where
you would go. It is none too sure,
senior. Mira!" He took a machete
from Juan and struck it through what
seemed to be solid rock, but which
proved to be but a mass of light ash
would have stepped, and beneath
which, had he done so, he might have
disappeared forever.
Testing each foot of the way with
the greatest caution, he took the lead,
now through a cloud of white vapor
now across a bottomless seam from
which cloud of black smoke poutel,
filed with deadly gases, till the mouth
of the cave lay before them.

There was a sudden trembling Of

EAST PROVIDENCE WATER
THE REPORT OF ADMINISTRATY TIVE,
BOARD ON THE MATTER.
Board Recommends That the District Obtain
Legislative Authority to Equip Water Plant.

In their annual report to the Watche-
moket Fire District, which has just been
presented, the Administrative Board dill
ates at lengeh on the impending question
OF renewing the contract with the city OF
Pawtucket for a water supply.
While the Board is of the opinion that
the case will eventually be decided In favor
OF the city OF Pawtucket and the Watche-
moket Fire District, 1t yet recognizes the
element OF uncertainty which attaches to
all matters of litigation. 1t becomes neces-
sary, therefore, for the district to consider
what 1t will do In case of adverse decision
The board recommends that the district
request the members of the General As
sembly from that town to secure amend
ments to the charter, authorizing it to
equip water plant; to allow it to issue
bonds to the amount of 500, 900; and to
allow it to make any contract for water
with the cities Of Pawtucket and Provi-
denca which they, or either Of the them.
through their councils and the district
may agree upon.
Should the contract now pending be ex-
ecuted before the meeting of the General
Assembly, the clerk can request the town Is
representation therein not to act, IL the
district so desires. Even IL the charter is
80 amended, it will not prevent the dis
trict from making the present contract
with the city Of Pawtucket, and will be no
hindrance Of future renewal of the same
il such a renewal seemed advisable.
Such amendments, indeed, will facilitate
the making of any future contract, and
will, at the same time, provide the dis
trict with authority to meet any emer-
gency which may arise from time to time.
