deepest Commisoration of the senator.

the senator. ''Well, it is not too lac. Still
he can never know the exquisite jog,

Poor fellow! I have heard about Prof.

few steps brought them beyond the arch
Of rock, and a simultaneous exclama-
ton Of establishment broke from all the
men.
They found themselves standing at
the bottom Of a deep chasm in the solid
rock. On either side of them the walls
rose perpendicularly to the height of
some 80 feet as smoothly as if chiseled
by human agency. Far above them a
narrow strip of blue sky wound like a
ribbon, and in front. at a distance of a
few yards, a sharp curve in the rocky
way shut Off all further view.
Where they stood the passage wild
ened abruptly for space Of some ten
feet, and Taylor said:
This is the bed OF some old stream
which must have run here thousands Of
years 10 wear its way down through the
rock TO this depth. Right here where
we are standing il seems TO have backed
up and made sort of basin. which ac-
counts for the rocks being worn out so
much wider. When there was freshet
the water couldn't get out through the
opening fast enough. But we must be
getting the rest of the goods in here.
Drop your loads here till we have it all
out of sight"
The others obeyed and as they went
back and forth he told them how he had
discovered the opening.

said, but we struck off somewhere
north of where the trail divides 1t was

gully. We found gold and stayed there.

1t required some time 10 carry all the
goods into the opening, and although
Tarbox soon returned and even the
young girl assisted with all her
strength it was an hour later when
