The Powder Mine,

"If this Is our last match, shall we
hse 1t now, or save 1t for another
time
Medworth had asked this question
when Tempest had handed him the
match in the underground passage
where the Americans had lost their
way in the darkness,
They felt along the moist slippery
walls, and slowly made their way from
one cavernous chamber to another, but
without success. After several hours at
this work they seemed to have accom-
plished nothing.
And, in fact, they had not accom-
pllshed anything.
The caverns in which they were were
not under the castle Of Salvarez. But
they were not far away from 1t.
From the entrance at the river bank
to the opening in the foundation walls
the way was crooked enough One
needed to be familiar with the passage
to find his way,
Medworth and Tempest were at least
two hundred feet from the true pas
sage and were going round and round,
following upon their own footsteps.
1--WE shall die here" said Medworth
1--WE have no food"
Don't weaken" said Tempest.

in the search"
Again they tried to find the entrance,
but did not succeed.
Meanwhile, what Of salvarez?
When he retreated from the Zambos
he picked up his wife and daughter,
and withdrew to a safe distance from
the castle to allow his soldiers time
to recuperate.
He remained here until nigntfall;

Insects Arc Necessary to tho FRUITS
SucceHSfuI Cultivation.
The long-continued effort to produce
the Smyrna fig Of commerce in Cali
fornia has been crowned with success.
The history Of the experiment is in
teresting. 1t began over twenty years
ago with importation of cuttings from
Asia Minor. Figs have been produced
from these and other imported cut
tlngs, but they we're not the famous
white fig Of commerce. The credit of
producing the latter in California be-
longs to George G. Roeding Of Fresno.
Until this summer every true Smyrna
fig tree planted in California which
bore fruit failed to mature 1t; the figs
were unfertilized and withered and
dropped. It was finally discovered that
the fertilization Of this fig depended
upon the service of the blastophaga
wasp, whose habitat Is in the capri,
or wild flg. The latter was imported
and thrived amazingly, but the balsto-
D0ubu ulu UOL lI OpSSloi
importations Of the wasp followed, but
1t thrived only for season on the
capri fig and then disappeared 1t was
assumed that 1t could not survive our
winters. Last year the department. OF
agriculture took the matter in hand,
A fresh consignment was imported and
It's care intrusted to Mr. Roeding. Last
April the young insect colony emerged
in full force from the first capri cot,
entered the second, emerged again, and
then took possession of the Smyrna
fig trees, the fruit on which was ready
for fertilization. Mr.. Roedlng reports
that this experiment has been perfectly
successful. A ton of the fruit has al
ready been picked from his trees and
the entire crop will yield five or six
tons more. Mr.. Roedlng believes that
the blastophaga has come to stay and
he expects that California Will be en-
riched soon with another industry

CHAPTER VIII.
Al the Carib's Hut.

lnere WIS trouble IN tne CnBlo OF
Salvarez.
The battle over, the victorious
troops had given themselves up to
feasting and drinking to celebrate the
defeat OF SalVarez,
The coronation Of Philip had been
postponed, The battle had interfered,
and the troops were not now in a
condition to realize the glory of such
an event.
While the eating and drinking,
smoking and the singing OF Spanish
songs went on among the soldiers,
Philip sat alone In the library of Sal
varez, now called the council room
of the king.
His reverles were interrupted by the
entrance Of Don Juan, who burst in
upon him like u whirlwind.
81 am undonel" he cried, "There is
an enemy among us,
Philip, seeing the frenzled look on
Gar2as face, started to his feet.
what do you mean CARA? Speak!
What has happened?"

Juan, unable to say more.
"What OF her?" demanded Philip,
placing his hand on the hilt OF his
sword,
"She is gone from the castleW Don

What do you think has become of
her?'

IT do not know. l have not seen
him."
"Send for him. Let us see what he
has to say. II Gomez has taken her
away, he must die"
"Yes-he must die-by my hand"
said Don Juan.
An orderly was called,
Request General Gomez to come
here at once" said Philip.
The orderly saluted.
General Gomez is not In the castle,
your majesty" he said.
A quick look of intelligence flashed
between Don Juan and Philip,
"Do you know whore he has gomez"
mo, you majesty, He left sone
time ago. He ordered his horse, and
SAID nothing about his destination or
the time Of his return.
"Dld he go alone?"
"He went alone"
every we'll. You may Co."
The orderly withdrew.
"What shall we do?" asked Philip.
81 must follow Gomez" said Don
Juan. 81 would advise that you re-
main here, and act as II nothing
had happened, If you should leave
the castle, the alarm would in some
way reach Gomez. shall ride out and
fnd him."
go, then, and II you find he has
been a traitor, shoot him."
Don Juan left the castle.
Bring me a horse at once" he said
to the orderly.
The horse was brought,
"Do you know which way General
Gomez went from here asked Don
Juan.
"He started toward the SOUTH" was
the reply,
(To be contlnued.)
Hutchinson gazette., 1901-08-08

CHAPTER VT-(Continued.)
Thus they talked Gomez all the time
conducting the defense Of the castle
against Its owner, and at the same
time keeping Philip and Don Juan
with him, and their interest centered
in the fight.
An hour passed, and burned powder
on each side was the only result
achieved.
Don Juan began to grow impatient.
"of what use is thls?" he exclaimed.
"The fools will play with those guns
all day and all night This kind of war;
fare grows monotonous. When they get
weary they will depart, only to annoy
US again"
what would you advise, Don
Juan?" asked Philip.
Attack Drive theml Cut them
down. 1t is only by destroying this
army Of Salvarez that we can carry
our banners from this place toward
Caracas"
1T is So" said Philip, Gomez, why
not attack?"
1T can be DONE" said Gomez, dartlng
a look OF hatred at Cara.
1t was not the desire of Gomez Just
then to shorten the battle, Matta2udo
had not yet returned from the evil er-
rand upon which he had been seat,
But the commands Of Philip must be
obeyed.
Then II was that Salyarez was start
led by the shouts Of his men.
From the battements outside the
castle came a company to drive the be-
siegers away,
Salvarez shouted out an order to his
They had been lmpatiently
waiting for the time to come when
rifles and pistols could be used in the
defense Of their country, instead Of
cannon, which accomplished nothing,
They rallied around their courageous
leader.
"Firel" he commanded.
A volley was fired, and a dozen Of
the men Of Philip lay dead, and a score
wounded, Yet the remainder did not
slacken the speed at which they ad-
vanced.
They returned the fire.
Several Of the soldiers OF Salvarez
fell.
salvarez gave the command to fire
again.
The advancing enemy now, instead
Of coming straight for Salvarez, made
for the trees and found shelter.
Then began sort of guerrilla fight
Ing, neither side gaining the advant-
age. Firing by volleys was out Of the
question, Every man found tree and
fred from behind 1t whenever he saw
the head OF an enemy.
This lasted n half-hour.
Then Mattazudo appeared near the
group Of officers around Philip Of Ara
gon.
ut is done. She is safe" he whisp-
cred In the ear of Gomez.
Gomez turned to Philip.
ut has lasted long enough" he said.
4 will now show your majesty how to
deal with those who oppose YOU"
He gave the word to Mattazudo.
The two hundred Zambos under the
command Of the rascally half-breed
swept out of the battlements, and
gaining the rear of Salvarez, began an
attack
Men Of the republic fell by dozens
1T is of no USE" said Salvarez. "our
men canont hold out. We cannot hope
o win. Another time, and the castle
jhall be ours"
He gave the order to retreat.
His men, being familiar with the
ground, melted away from before the
iambos, and when there were no more
ioldiers to pursue, the zambos re-
urned to the castle.
Philip, Gomez and Don Juan stood |
md watched the return Of their army
rom the scene Of its second victory.

"You are king" said Don Juan.

A TAME CROW AND

How He Amused Himself with Them at

How He Amused Himself with Them al
UntimeIy Hours in the Morning
"He was a fat, helpless baby
crow" writes Florence Morse
Kingsley of "The Young Gentle,
man of the Woodshed," in The
Ladies Homes Journal for June.
"We named him Tom, and he grew
like the proverbial weed. His
prankish propensities came more
and more into evidence as the sum
mer wore by. Some bright objects
such as teaspoons, thimbles, and
the scalloped tins called patty-pans,
had to be jealously guarded
But despite the noisy protests OF
the cook the patty-pans continued
to disappear. AT last | found the
new use to which Master Tom had
put these coveted articles. / had
been awakened several mornings
at an untimely hour by slight
tinkling, jingling noise, proceed
ing apparently from the Uncover
ed veranda roof just outside my

cied | heard Toms peculiar low
chuckle of amusement. Stealing
noiselessly to the window l peep
cd out. Sure enough there were
Tom and the patty-pans. Selling
one in his bcak he would fiy up
about five or six feet, then drop it,
The glitter of the tin, as it fell
through the bright sunshine, and
its clatter as it struck the roof
seemed to afford him the most ex-
quisite amusement, for he repeated
the performance Il dozen times or
more. ending, as he heard the
housemaid open the front door, by
neatly packing his shining toys in
to an angle Of the roof where they
had heretofore escaped notice."

PROMISE NOT KEPT.

1t is now about three weeks since
Mr.. Hunt, representative of the
Southern Pacific, was here and met
the committee appointed by the
people to make an effort to get
proper rate to and from this valley.
The grievances were plainly stated
to Mr.. Hunt and he frankly admit
ted the unjustness of the rate
charged on produce shipped out of
this valley and promised that it
should be rectified Immediately,
but up to yesterday morning no
change had been made in the rate
and we are still living under the
promise "that it shall be done i'm
mediately."
We believe the railroad compan
les intend to keep the promise
made by Mr.. Hunt, but the fact
that since the promise was made
by him "to have the rate made
equitable immediately" that more
than 800 car loads of hay have
been shipped to Naco and vicinity
from the Salt River valley would
lead one to believe that the reason
this delay was made, was to allow
the people of the Salt River time
to fill the years market in that Vi
oinity, thus arbitrarily preventing
this valley from supplying any of
the market there. 1t was also un-
dcrstood that the rate to El Paso
should be fairly adjusted, but so
far it remains the same.
Now the people of this valley
want to know if the railroad COM
pany propose to carry out the
promises made by Mr.. Hunt; is he
not authorized to make these
promises? IF not the committee
would like to haye a conference
with the person who is.
We should like to impress on
the railroad companies that the
Gila Valley, as well as the Salt
River valley, is one of the great
producing regions of the territory
and we are entitled to the same
treatment on freight rates as are
the people of other localities.
This valley is now under high
state of cultivation and more is be-
ing placed under cultivation each
year, making the products enor.
nous. All we ask of the railroads
is to give us a rate so that we will
be able to compete with other
localities.
