that the engine house over the main
shaft was on fire. The ladders afford

water In Eric's face, and he groaned.

THE RESCUE.


As the facts Of his position forced
themselves more clearly upon him. the
first excitement over. Stuart grew
calmer. The candle In his hat was
nearly burned out, but he had another
one that, after the fashion of the min
ers, he had thrust into his boot when
he changed his dress in the dryroom.
He pulled this out and lighted 1t. put

fully. The mass of broken ore which
had fallen down the manhole had bro
ken out dozen rounds at the very
foot of the ladder. BY stretching up
to his full height Stuart could just
reach an unbroken round.
But what could he do with the dead
weight of Eric? He could never lift
him up that distance. For once and
only one swift second Stuart consider.
ed the thought of leaving Eric. 1t was
simply the love Of life asserting itself
Why should both men die? His death
would not save Eric. 1t was only a
second, and then he felt the shock of n
statement he made to himself that life
ories had always to be carried with
one. He could never abandon the man
who had once risked his life to save
him. when the danger was fully as
great as now.
But. o God" Stuart cried out. ito
die drowned like rat In hole" The
love of life was strong In him. He felt
the water rising more and more rapid
ly. 1t was nearly to his waist now. He
felt the blood from the wound In his
shoulder warming his own side as hp
held up the unconscious body. Once
In awhile Eric stirred. Once he opened
his eyes and Stuart thought he was re.
covering. II only he could regain
enough strength to help himself even 4
little! Stuart's mind went into a whirl
as he thought Of all possible ways to
pull himself and Eric up even a short
distance. But the bottom OF the mine
was Of such shape that there were
no projections or slopes which afforded
even foothold.
The fire ut the top was evidently
blazing tiercely. Fragments Of charred
wood dropped down the ore shaft
Leaning over and looking up, Stuart
could see great flaming mass Of
twisted beams and iron rods curling
over the mouth Of the shaft. He moved
over under the manhole. dragging Eric
with him. and looked up that. The
flames and smoke were sweeping over
II like mist over ridge. He thought
that even at that distance he could see
that the ladders ut the top had caught
and were blazing fantastically.
He gave up all hope. Still. with the
instinct Of life strong in him. he drag.
ged Eric over to the pump. which stood
Just out Of the water now. and by thu
exercise Of all his strength he managed
to place the body upon II in such
way that It was two or three feet
above himself as he stood on the bot
tom of the floor Of the mine. The wa.
ter had risen now to his armpits and
was whirling around him In a great red
pool. He shuddered, 1t looked so like
blood In the light Of the candle. The
movement he had made with Eric. to.
gether with the contact with the cold
water. had reused him. He stirred and
even spoke feebly.
"Where are wei" he muttered.
"You have been hurt. Eric"

make no objection to taking mutilated
