From the san Juan News.

From the san Juan News.
How many people in this island know
that there are large caves here, pos
sibly as large as the Mammoth cave
in the United States? Several parties
of Americans have visited the big cave
near Caguas, owned by Senor Nunez.
All have been deeply interested and
some intend 10 return for further ex-
ploration. The negro guides who have
lived near them all their lives do not
know the full extent of the largest
caverns. so adventurosome tourists
| have another field of interest.
A recent visitor to the cave gives
the following description:
I'VE have ridden in a carriage by
way of the military road, which, IL

the people are strict adherents of
Buddha, and it is common among them
to see the long, yellow-robed or red
robed Lamas. They are exceedingly
superstitious and willingly pay large
presents to the priests for fancied
privileges. A Lama has vision and
announces that A will die within three
days. A gathers together his possess
sions. never doubling of the fact, but
before he dies intrusts his servant
with bribe to be conveyed to the La
ma. also through the medium of
servant. The Lama protests against
bothering the god with SO trumpery a
matter as the life of A. but being
persuaded to do so. gets him respite

time the procedure takes place again.
A rich man. on dying. will dispatch
his servant for many miles with gifts
to the nearest Lama, to inquire after
the future of his soul and know where
and in what form he will appear on
earth. And the Lama accepts the gift
and tells him.
The Siyots are Secrctivc and pre-
fer to communicate nothing. Ask how
many they number in a village and

She knelt beside him. The blood
surged through his body and strength
returned to every muscle as he felt her
lips touch his and her hand upon his
brow. The closed eyes opened and
met hers.
"Oh, you are not dead; l was so
afraid you would know" and she hid
her face in her hands
He tried to rise, but sank back with
pain.

He stretched out his uniniured arm
and drew her to him.

The touch of her lips upon his was
the answer, but it meant more than
words.
"And you have been so cruel to me
all these days, l thought you almost
hated me-
"Forgive me; l loved you all the
time, but was too proud to own it.
The task of forgiving was delightful
In due time DR.. Goodspeed arrived
'Well, well, young man, said he as
he hustled into the room; "this is a
pretty state Of affairs; broken arm,
half dozen bruises and eyebrows
singed off; handsome figure you'll

punish you by few weeks of invalid
ism."

The old man did not lose the glance
he cast on Helen.
"Probably you would: l suspect
you've some heart trouble with all the
rest, you. you young rascal" and
he laughed knowingly.

girl, Helen Clark. "The advent of a

"Kate, let's you and become nurses

"Helen, I'll dare you to go home,

"There isn't soul at the house, so
the coast is clear. I'll do it, if you'll

agreed" responded both girls,
"we had no intention of being left
out"
They were too intent on their fun
to notice the roguish twinkle in the
boys eyes, and he did not consider it
necessary to inform them that the gen.
tleman under consideration was sitting
iii the druggists private office hearing
every word.
The doctor was wondering whether
he ought to be angry or enter into the
spirit of the joke
"I'll CO. he decided rs the messcn-
ger summoned him to Judge Clark's
residence.
Helen was on the sofa among pile
of pillows and made charming inva-
lid in spite of the wet bandage on her
forehead. Her two friends were fall of
sympathy.
"Such fearful headache, doctor;
| am almost wild; can't you do some
thing for it?' and the blue eyes turned
to him pleadingly.
Every well done,' was the young
mans mental comment.
He gravely felt her pulse, and took
her temperature and looked at her
tongue.
Your pulse is regular; your tenn
perature is normal he observed, slow
ly.
"Helen, dear, didn't you say you had
palpitation Of lhe heart this morning,
just dreadful" inquired Katie.
This was too much for Nettie with
smothered laugh she turned to the
window.
Helen did not answer, but sank back
on the pillows, closing her eyes. The
doctor leaned forward and placed his
ear over her heart The blood rushed
to her face; she felt like culprit and
was tempted to confess and beg his
pardon. But that would never do.
