CHAPTER Nj.
Sequel to Our Adventure.


For two hours-they seemed an eter-
nifty to met would appear, the four
Spanish officers fingered over their
wine-hasks and cigars in the wooded
ravine, their movements being duly
reported from time to time by one of
the outlaws, who stole to the cavern
mouth and peeped out.
At last they mounted, and rode off,
when fresh cause for wrath and de-
lay was produced by the announce
ment that wagon, drawn by mules,
and attended by several laborers and
negroes, had broken down on the road
about mile distant.
The irritation of our Spaniards-
some of whom spoke of having a ship
to join-was now so great that l feared
they might end the whole affair by
disposing of us in summary manner.
This wagon being heavily laden
caused delay for several hours. The
suns rays ceased to shine through the
f1ssure above us; the grotto drew dark
by the increase of imperceptibe shad-
ows; the dingy faces of our olive-skin-
ned detainers grew darker still; and
their impatience was only surpassed by
ours, for we, 100, had ship to re-
join.
Every minute of these hours-every
second of every minute-Passed
slowly, like a pang of agony In my
heart; and every feature of that nat
ural vault, through which the dying
daylight stole--wlth the faces and
voices of the men whose victims we
were, and more than all, the ceaseless
and eternal buzz in the dark chasm
that yawned close by-the ventana, or
nostril of the Piton-are yet wildly
impressed upon my memory.
At last the darkness was so great
that a lantern was lighted, and its
wavering CLEANS, as they fell on the
crystals. the spar quartz, and CLASSY
blocks of black obsldian and ruddy
,ava. which formed the walls and arch
of the cavern, on the dark ferocious
yisages, the gaudy sashes. the naked
arms and feet, the sCrUbby black
boards, and brass-mOunted knives and
musflets of the taciturn Spaniards.

with diabolical smile. as he dragged
me to the beetling edge of the chasm
and forced me to look into 1t.
Our eyes had now become so accus-
toned to the light of the gallery or
grotto that the rays of sunshine fall
ing through the fissure above us were
sufficient to disclose n portion of the
vast profundity on the verge of which
we stood
From the earth's womb, far, far
down below. there came upward a
choking steam, with hollow, buZZing
sound. which dcepcned at times to a
rumble.
This steam or mist rose and fell on
the currents of air; sometimes it sank
so low that nothing but black and
dreary void met the eye. which ached
in attempting to pierce it. Anon the
steam would rise in spiral curls from
that gloomy bed below. where doubt
less the fires of the now almost ex-
tinct volcano seethe their embers in
the waves of the ocean.

my lips. but l could not utter them;
nor would they have availed me. Ig

believing he was about to thrust me
in. poor Tom Lambourne, In the full

dismay: and at that moment the SEN
tinel. whom the gang had left at the
entrance to their lurking place, came
hurriedly on, with alarm expressed in
his glittering eyes, and a finger placed,
as warning, on his hairy lip.
Para! Paz! Silenzio!" (hold-peace
-silence), he exclaimed. and added
that four officers from the garrison of
Santa Cruz had dismounted in the ra-
vine, unbitted their horses and had
seated themselves under tree to
smoke.
This information was received by
the band with oaths and mutterings
of impatience; and by us with mingled
emotions of hope and agony-hope
that they might be the means of our
escape or rescue; and agony to know
that such means were so near and yet
could avail us nothing; for on the
slightest sound being made by either
Of us. there were the Albacete knives
Of our captors on one hand, and the
ventana-that awful ventana-on the
other, to insure forever the silence and
oblivion of the grave.
Not the least of my sufferings was
from the cord which secured my wrists.
Already the skin was swollen, cut and
bleeding in consequence of the tight
ness with which these wretches had
bound me.

and dragged me forward into sarery.
while with violent kick he tossed the
plank away, and surging, down it went
into the black gulf we had crossed.
1t vanished in moment, and no
sound ever assembled, for 1t seemed to
have fallen into pit that was as dark
as it was bottomless
Take this musEet and see that
you can use 1t, sir" said Tom, as an
emotion of bravado seized him. And
so you. Spanish greenhorns!" he
shouted. ''you thought to sell me for

this rash outburst, which drew their

for the scntry-and here he is, al

was on the watch. alarmed by the fir

Grasping our newly acquired weap-
ons, which we never thought of re-
lnquishing. we rushed out. and, de-
scending the ravine, favored by the
starlight. instinctively took the path
which led directly to the harbor.

REMARKABLE AUCTION BIDS.
Relies Which Have Brought Big Sums

to utter.


Mt Sales
The Zola sale in France, at which a
little table was sold for more than $50
times it's value. recalls many instances
of remarkable bids at auction sales.
says Tit-Bits. Zola's table was worth
"a 16s, but the first bid for il was
E1,2S0, and the auction became prob
ably unique in the annals of sales by
being closed after a single bid. It is
not the first time that table has aeen
sold for such remarkable sum,
though it is probably the first time
that such an article has fetched such
a big price. Cicero's table was put un
to auction after his death. but the
highest bid was f750. Another historic
article for which an enormous prico
was paid was Cato's purple robe, which
Nero bought for f6,S00 The habit
worn by Charles XII. at Pultowa was
sold for f22,000, and a cup used by Ma
poleon went for 81 guineas. The hat
which Napoleon wore at Eylau was
keenly bid for at auction by thirty-two
persons and was knocked down at Els.
Mr.. Quaritch, the famous bookseller,
recently advertised two of his rarest
volumes for sale for f10,250 a sum
which may seem ridiculous to most
readers. Mr.. Quaritch, however, once
bid Ga, 900 for a Latin Psalter, and
f3,9OO for a Mazarin Bible at an auc
ton sale. Five hundred and forty
cuineas for a snuff-box suggests that
the bidder was verging on madness,
hut n snuffboX from the emperor of
BraziTs collection was once knocked
down at this price. Another, supposed
to have belonged to Marie Antoincttt,
sold for 32O guineas, bids of so and 100
guineas being quite common at snuff
box sales. A vase in the British mu-
scum was knocked down at 1000 gum
cas- and two violins-a Stradivarius
and n Ruggari-were sold at a sale fer
f76O and Fl $50, respectively. A violin

MILLERs TURNED THE TABLES.
Brewers Beaten Out In the Second
Game by Minneapolis.

MILWAUKEE, April 29.-(SpeciaL)e
The Minneapolis team turned the tables
on the Brewers this afternoon, defeat-
ing them in a pitchers battle, by a score
OF to g. 1t was a battle royal between
Willie Bill'' Hutchinson and "Cy"s
Swain, the elongated twirler of the
last years Washington team. Both
pitchers were on their mettIe through
out. and only five hits apiece was the
record of the two teams. George Carey,
who played in the place of Menefee, lin
cd out three Of the five hits credited 10
his team. The Millers made good tsart
in the opening inning, and the locals
were unable to overcome the lead of
three runs, although they made desper-
ate fight to do SO. Hutchinson showed
that he is still good for another seasons s
twirling, as he had the Brewers at his
mercy throughout. He kept their hits
we'll sacattered, and this with the bril-
liant fielding prevented the locals from
secoring oftener. Andrews, at third,
again distinguished himself by his fast
work, while Nance captured everything
in sight. His error was excusable, 1t be-
ing wide throw to the plate. The field
ing on both sides was fast and brilliant,
Nicol, Hallman and Gray carrying off
the honors fer Milwaukee.
The first inning opened well for the
