The return of an Arctic explorer clears
up many mysteries who says that much

and open water was seen far to the south.
This shows that the great wall of ice

Arctic explorers are not the only ones
who meet with deeeptions. Many people
with indigestion and dyspepsia have been

there is no cure. They can be cured
though hundreds of medicines have failed.

in letting the contract. He said it was
possible that he (Curtis) was so small
that he was not worth speaking about,
but that not one person who had spok-
en- to him concerning the action of the
board had adversely criticised it.

DIAMOND-sTUDDED WALLS.
Beautiful Appearance of the Interior of
Nevada Cavern.

On the north side of the Osgood
range Of mountains, about four miles
east of Eden creek there Is a natural
cave of quite large dimensions. 1t is
in the limestone formation and has the
appearance Of an old, worked out mine,
with its slopes, raises and wines. 1t
Is almost impossible to find the en-
trance as it is covered with growth
Of underbruSh.
The first thing that a person notices
is small crevice in the rocks, but as
he crawls into the crevice on hands
and knees he finds that it Widens as
he goes down About fifteen feet from
the entrance man can stand up and
walk down the gradual incline, which
Is at about 60 degrees At a place
thirty feet from the mouth there is a
raise some thirty feet high and drift
forty feet long. The sight which
meets the cave seekers gaze at this
point is most beautiful. On the cell
ing large stalactites hang in clusters,
and the walls are decorated with glis-
tening drops Of crystals OF lime inter-
mingled with drops of water, giving it
the appearance of being set with mill
ions of diamonds.
Farther down the cave widens until
chamber Is reached which is over
sixty feet across and over fifty feet
high There are numerous other pas
sages or cayerns, and on the left there
Is a passage big enough to admit the
body, which opens into second cham
Der, which is about twenty feet across
and ten or fifteen feet high. In the
main chamber, some twenty feet high,
can be seen the opening Of another
chamber, but as there is no timber
near to make ladders the upper cavern
has not yet been explored. There are,
no doubt, other large chambers which
could be found were closer explorations
to be made. Stalactltes and stalag
mites can be seen in all directions.
Water is dropping continually, and the
light Of a candle shining upon these
crystals and drops of water gives the
cave a very enhancing appearance.
This cave is the home of the wood rat,
and there are indications that there
might be thousands Of the little ami
mails which make this natural wonder
their home. -Winnemucca Silver State.

just because she wants a glass OF
water And after all the things
you've been doing for her right along.
she's just as like as not to walk right
away as soon as you set her grips on
the platform.
"Oh, l can tell you, ladies on car
just naturally keep the porter guess
ing, they certainly do, and the COM
pany says you must be cheerful. But
when there's lady gets into one Of
your sections for the whole run, and
she's used to travelling about and 10
being looked after, why, then she sort
of knows that the porter is looking at
her, and she's set him guessing
whether she's one of them sort that's
no good except to the company, or one
of the other sort. So if she's used to
travelling, and maybe knows some
thing about what porters has to do,
we'll, she just sort OF indicates to the
porter-the way you've done-thatshe's
disposed to consider him a business
man"

AT THE SEASIDE.

"You will not persist in that drive
ly, but he might have been speaking to
the stone wall near them for all the
effect his pleading had.
With light laugh Estelle Mark
ham glanced out to sea and suggested
that they We're going to have Il storm
soon. She looked so pretty standing
there. The sun shining through the
CriSuson chiffon of her sunshade
threw a ruddy glow ON her golden
dead and turned her soft white shirt
waist to a becoming pink. But she
was as heartless as she was pretty.
See here" exclaimed her COM
panion. Ensign Jack Whiting, by name,
you should not carry on SO with
Blake. He's no sort of chap for
you, and YOU surely would not want to
90 driving with man who cannot take
care Of himself, let alone a lady, You
sdan't so with him."
Miss Markham's parasol closed with
Il snap, and she drew herself up
proudly as she said: Mr.. Blake al
least does not malign people behind
their backs, and-O, Mr.. Blake this
with a charming smile to young man
Who was passing at the time, would
YOU mind escorting me back to the
hotel?"
Ensign Whiting sayagely kicked a
small pebble near him, and his feel
lngs found vent in naughty word,
after which he drew himself up,
threw out his chest, and marched
back to Hotel Carte as If on parade,
That afternoon as he ran lightly
down the steps of the hotel he saw a
dog cart drawn up to the door and
knew that Estelle Markham had not
changed her mind about her drive
! He asked the man at the horses head
where the team was going. and found
they We're to go to the Witches Cauld-
ron. a few miles away. Ordering an.
other dog cart. he set on by diff
derent route 10 the same destination
Il can at least protect her II need be,
he thought. Arriving at the little
house that did duty as hotel near tbs
Cauldron. he found that the other car
had already been there, and that tbs
party had gone to view the surging
seething water among the rocks
The sky meanwhile had become

overcast, and already few heavy
drops of rain had fallen. From his
point of vantage in the stable he saw
Estelle Markham and Mr.. Blake hurry
up the road and enter the house, where
they ordered lunch to pass away the
time while it rained.
To his horror, Jack heard Blake call
for bottle of wine, and heard also
Estelle's indignant declaration that she
could not be induced to touch it.
But don't deprive yourself of it
for me-" she said, sweetly. eff you are
used to it, as you say, l should feel
dreadful If you did not take it,
Just as medicine, you know"
murmured Blake, as he poured the
ruby liquid with master hand,
A piece of silver to the stable boy
and Jack was to be notified when the
other dog cart started Estelle had
come out upon the little veranda to see
the rainbow after the shower, and had
left her escort, as she believed, to set
tie with the cashier, but in reality to
indulge in another bottle of your en-
cellcnt wine"
At last the team came round, and
Blake handed Estelle in carefully, and
tucked the light robe over her knees
with great empressment, and off they
started at a rapid pace
Dusk was falling, and it was with
difficulty that Jack Whiting could
keep the other carriage in sight. When
they were but about a mile from
Hotel Carte, Whiting thought he
heard little scream from the car
rage in front, and drove his team up
nearer. He could then see that Blake
was leaning towards Miss Markham
talking in a low amused tone, while
Estelle glanced about her in fright
ened sort of way.
Let me pass there Ensign Whit
ing's clear voice called.
Jack" came back from the first
team in voice that sounded as if her
whole soul was in it,
You can't pass now" called Mr.
Blake in thick tones. Miss Markham
and | are too happy as we are, aren't
we, EStelleT
There was a whiZzing sound in the
air, and Jack Whiting brought his
long riding whip down on the 1nsolent
young man. At the same time
Estelle Markham leaped lightly to the
ground, and the horse in Blake's wagon
started angrily for the hotel.
Estelle came into Writings carriage
in shamed sort of way, and not a
word was spoken until the big hotel
came in sight. Cautiously she put out
her hand and laid it lightly upon his.
He closed his fingers tightly over it
for moment, and then opened his
hand, looked down at hers, lying there
so small and white.
Shall II" de began, and she an
swered softly, moving a little closer u
him:
yes, keep it."-Boston Post.

WOMEN AND CAR poRTERS.
One Of the Latter Gives His Views on
Fair Travellers.

It's this way, if you never done
come to think OF it before, said ,Ae
car porter to me. A porter
coGld not afford to take any
run il he was to get nothing but COM
pany's wages. He certainly would go
bankrupt You expect to make your
living out OF other little things; not
that any of us gets as much as the
funny papers say we do, but there's a
little coming in for things the porter
docs that amt paid fer when you put
down the price Of your sleeper ticket.
But when the train pulls out and the
porter takes what YOU may say is his
first real look at what he's got in his
car, it's expecting a good deal TO eX-
pect him to look right clipper and
cheerful when there's dozen sections
got ladies in them; but he's got to do
1t, for the company made that rule.
What's the reason for it? Well, it's
just this, When it's a man, all yon
have to do is to fix his shoes and TO
brush him off when he gets 10 his sta
ton: maybe he'll call for a side screen
when he wants the window up, but
that's about all, and he just naturally
gives you a quarter. That amt much
to him, and it amt much 10 the porter,
but several OF them counts up. -ut
with lady it's different She's al
ways mighty Uneasy; she's got to have
a table, and then she's got to have X
taken away, and the window never
does get TO suit her, and she wants a
pillow, and then she wants more pill
lows, and you are lucky II she doesn't
ring you out of the only chance you
have to get nap in the whole run

be friends, Leone. Why refuse me?
will never speak OF love the word
shall never be mentioned. You shall
be to me like my dearest, best-beloyed
sister. | will be your brother, your
servant and your friend; only give me,
for Gods dear sake, the comfort Of see
ing you. Leone, be friends"
1t was one evening when she was
tired that this letter was brought to
her. She read 1t with weeping eyes;
life was SO hard; she found it So She
loved her art, she lived in it, but she
was only woman, and she wanted
the comfort of a human love and
friendship.
YEARLY enough she repeated the
words to herself:
Let us be friends. AS he says, Life
Is short The comfort will be small
enough, Heaven knows, but it will be
better than nothing. Yes, we will be
friends"
So she answered the letter In a few
words, telling him II he really wished
what he said, she would discuss the
prudence OF such a friendship with
him.
This letter fell into the hands OF
Lady Marion. She looked at the fine,
beautiful, clear handwriting.
Lance, this Is from a lady," she
said.
When he took 1t from her his face
flushed
at Is from lady" she repeated.
ut Is on business" he replied, cold
ly, putting the envelope aside; and, 20
his delight, Lady Marion forgot 1t.
He was to go and see her. 1t was
wrong to be so pleased, he knew, but
he did not even try to hide his delight
over It.
When should he go? He should
count the hours-he could not wait
longer than tomorrow. Would she
be willing, or would she not? How
long the hours seemed, yet they passed,
and once more he was at the Cedars.
