EIGHTH DAY.
STRONG HEARTS AND WILLING HANDS.
It would be difficult to say who were
the more surprised. Chester's friends
or his enemies, when be was missed on
that Monday morning. Dailon was
clearly uneasy. He was very ugly
and berated and abused every one un-
mercifully. Every foot Of the cave
was searched, and scouting parties
were sent out along Bone gulch as far
as the railroad spur without any trace
Of the fugitive being discovered. The
gang dared not show themselves out
side.the gulch, for by this time Dallon
knew that search parties would be pa.
trolling the railroad track In quest of
the lost cars.
Draper. and his party knew not what
to think. The CONSERVATION Of the ban
dts was SO evidently genuine that no
suspicion of foul play was possible.
They were forced to the same conclu-
sion-that Chester had escaped. but
how? None of them dreamed of the
water course as possible means of ex.
It. So after deal Of bad language on
the part of Dallon and his minions all
hands. captors and captured, settled
down to wait, for Mondays sunset, be-
fore which hourit was futile, to expect
Filley's return with the money.
Slowly the long hours slipped away
In the semidarkness Of the cavern.
The ladies bore up well under the cir
cumstahces, but the ordeal was a try
ing one, and Mrs. Hurst declared she
should die If she had to spend another
night there. Uncle John, as may be
imagined. had his hands full.
Madge was perhaps the hardest to
manage. She pestered him with ques-
tons. she imagined all sorts Of horrors,
she begged Dallon to tell her the truth
and not to keep her In suspense" TO
which appeal that worthy replied that
he hoped the Observation-Disclosures idiot
had broken his neck" whereupon
Madge retorted with flashing eyes that
the aforesaid Dallon was "a callous
brute" and then burst into tears.
The last rays Of daylight faded from
the patch of sky visible from the
mouth of the cave. and still no ddings
of the messengers. Nine. 10, II, IL
O'Clock. and yet no news!
Dallon was getting furious. For the
tenth time he put John Draper through
a rude cross examination as to the pos
sible causes Of delay.
81 told you it was risky" the presi-
dent quietly replied. 'If there has
been any slip up. am not to blame,
and don't believe Filley has bungled." !"
He tried to keep "stiff upper Lip" be
fore both Dallon and the ladies, but his

heart Quaked within him, not at his
own danger, but at the perils menacing
those more dear to him than life itself.
There was no telling to what lengths
the villains would proceed If once they
became convinced that their plans had
miscarried, and what was one man
against 80 many!
So in order to stave off the evil mo-
ment Draper professed to believe that
the delay was not unreasonable and
expressed it as his firm conviction that
Filley and the money would turn up
before morning. Yet in his own mind
he feared that something had gone
wrong. But he threw out mental an
cho- to windward In nourishing the Sc
cret hope that young Ives had been
successful in getting clear and that he
would bring help Of some sort. So 1t
will be seen that on Chester Ives he
really pinned his faith and not unjust
ly, as the sequel proved.
Reuben Filley and his guards rode all
Sunday night, and daybreak on Mon
day found them on the outskirts Of
Denver. Here they put up at a road
side saloon. where team was hired to
take Filley to the city and to which
place he was to return with the mon
ey. He went straight to the bank and
presented the draft as soon as the
doors were opened, secured the cash
and carefully disposed the wad Of bills
In his inside pocket Then he drove
around to a livery stable. where he put
ND the horse and buggy, saying he
would call for them again in the after
noon. Next he turned his steps to the
Union depot, bought ticket for San
Francisco and boarded the first west
bound train.

to jail under strong guard. "You
must thank Lieutenant Crosby and his
men for the rescue"
John Draper made due acknowledge
ments, and then more introductions
followed, not forgetting Ben Gallup.
'"What can have become Of Reuben
FilleyT queried Uncle John. II hope
no harm has befallen him"
We've got his escorts" said Crosby,
and they swear they haven't seen him
since yesterday morning when he left
them in Denver to proceed to the
bank"
Strange strange" remarked
Draper. but 1t may be that there was
some difficulty over the money. though
I did not anticipate any"
"Well. let US hope that you have
saved your money and that he has
saved his skin." laughed the lieuten-
ant. Then he inquired:
"Now, Mr.. Draper. what can and
my men do to help you further?'
"Why. the first thing is to get to
Denver, l suppose" replied the rail-
road president. looking inquiringly at
the ladies Of the party as he spoke.
"By all MEANS" replied Mrs. Hurst.
"But we cannot go in this plight" she
said, spreading out her hands and mo-
tioning toward the soiled and disorder
ed dresses of herself and the two
younger ladies.
Cannot we get back to the Miriam
da ?" inquired Miss Granniss.
"Oh. yes; do. Uncle John" begged
Madge. '"Then we can fix up and get
something to eat and 90 into town In
style after ALL" =.
"Why, my dear, I don't even know II
the cars are where we left them. These
villains may have wrecked them. or
the railroad people may have discover
ed them and hauled them away" was
the reply.
"Well, can't we go and seer queried
the irrepressible Madge. "We've only
got to take the back track the way we
came"
"Assuredly the best thing you can do,
Mr.. Draper" said Crosby, looking at
the high spirited Madge with evident
admiration. Even II the cars are not
there, that will he the easiest way for
the ladies out Of the gulch, and you'll
then be within essy reach Of the tele-
graph at Castle Rock"
So It was decided The entire party
set out, guided by Ben Gallup. Lieu
tenant Crosby had to make his adieus,
his duty being with his command and
the captives. promising to see them In
Denver and assuring them that they
were perfectly safe from further mo-
lestation. Ben knew the way blindfold
and led them as straight as the uneven
trail would permit to where the rail-
road spur terminated against the rocky
wall of the canyon.
There, sure enough, rested the Miran-
da and the Pullman, dusty and travel
stained, but otherwise, to all appear
ances, sound and unhurt.
But how are we to get out Of hereT
queried Ives.
That's an easy one," said Ben.
"Some one must go up to Castle Rock
and telegraph for an engine to pull you
back to the main track"
Scarcely were the words out Of his
mouth than round the upward bend OF
the track there appeared a hand car
bearing half dozen railroad laborers.
At the sight of the two coaches they
set up a shout and came pumping
down the incline at a good speed. As

CornwaIl's Curious Custom.

Scrambling for nuts upon the sea-
shore is an annual event taken part in
by the children of Port Isaac, fish
ing village on the northwest coast of
Cornwall. The little ones taking part
well deserve the little recognition of
their services in such a way, lend
ing hand as they do when the
local lifeboat has returned from riding
the stormy waters. To haul the boat
from the beach to it's station is heav-
Ter task than the crew can accom-
plish, but with couple of hundred
youngsters pulling at the ropes the
craft is soon safely housed. Once
year the coNswain of the lifeboat has
large quantity of nuts given to him
to scatter among the children, neg
lect upon one particular occasion to
carry out the custom bringing about
a juvenile strike by way of refusing
to assist at further hauling up.
Speedily, however, the brave, rugged
fellows who risk their lives "for
those on the sea-" made up the diff
ference in dispute with the children,
and there is long likely to remain at
Port Isaac the annual nut scramb-
ling beside the sounding sea.-Golden

CONCERNING CONGRESSMAN.

Senator Cu,lom is said to present
more petitions in the senate than any
other member of that body, and it is
very unusual thing for week to
pass without several being submitted
by him.
Senators Platt, of New York, and
Platt, of Connecticut, are both expert
weather prophets. 1t is related of the
former that he once made and won a
bet with the weather man at the SEN
ate end of the capitol that certain
prediction of the weather man would
not come true.
The loudest speakers in congress
are Senator Tillman and Representa-
tive Brosius. Mr.. Brosius speaks with
long, deep roar, while Senator Till
man, when thoroughly wrought up to
his subject, speaks in spasmodic
shrieks.
Several members of the house of
representatives are shorthand writer's
Of more or less skill. Many of those
who are lawyers studied stenography
for convenience and effectiveness in
making notes. One of the most skill
full of these writer's is Mr.. Hit, of ILL.,
nois.

EDUCATION AND RELIGION.

The ministers OF St. Paul have ap-
proved a project of making billiards
one of the features of the Young
Mems Christian association rooms.
Archbishop Feehan, of Chicago,
went to the scene of his present la
bors in 1852, making the trip from
New York by stage and steamboat.
One hundred and twelve pupils of
the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, have
been received into the Catholic
church. The school has 1862 pupils.
The pastor of the Third Moravian
congregation in Philadelphia prepared
the plans for a new church, super
vised its construction and labored on
it with his own hands, thus saving
the congregation an estimated $4,000.
More than 1900 German teachers
have been taught to become instruct
ors in manual training. OF these $50
were taught in Leipzig and 1880 ac-
quired training in 33 places in other
parts of Germany.
A woman recently asked President
Hadley, of Yale-he tells the story
himself-what he was teaching. To
his reply, Economies" she said,
thoughtfully: "oh, you teach the stu
dents to be economical! That is good.
When l was young woman they
never learned to be economical until
they got married. "-Pittsburgh News.

the University of Michigan has re-

Wilson, of Detroit, 1o2 volumes. AS
but few of the volumes are duplicates
of those already in the library the ad-
dition is a highly valuable one. DR..
Wilson was professor in the homeo-
pathic department of the university
during the years 1880-s5.

Hsii was guilty of hushing up for
money the murder of one of his sons.
Another son brought the case to
light, and it was held that the father
might benefit and be excused, while
the son, on the other hand, was sem
fenced to 100 blows and three years
transportation for denouncing his
brothers murder, because in doing
so he had brought his father into
danger of the law. A father who
buried his son alive was let off be-
cause the boy abused him; and it is
quite permissible for a father to
strangle his daughter if she misbe-
haves.-Notes and Comments on
