When Mary came again to the door lit

Patsy Dugan was on the step and lie

establishment Mary Sullivan was dress
ed in Dennys Sunday clothes and
lighted safety lamp hung from her belt.

\ few hastily-spoken words and Patsy
shook his head vigorously. Then the
woman spoke again, this time her man
ner indicated that she would have no
refusal, and Patsy nodded Yen do 1t,
woman, dear: yen do it," They hurried
to the old shaft.
Patsy was for going down himself, but
again Denny's wife would brook no
change of her plan. she clambered INTO
the bucket, which now swung over the
shaft, and made herself fast. Lave me
down easy, Patsy, and do ye watch the
gim o. me lamp" she said.
The rope on the wheezy windlass I'M
wound slowly, and Mary disappeared into
the blackness of the pit. Patsy followed
her descent watching closely the glim-

self in the mine. Then ne remembered
the explosion and was still more surprised
to find himself alive. There on the floor
beside him lay his hat with the lamp stlll
burning. There was no after damp in
that gallery at any rate. His head felt
queer and giddy. When he felt it he
found a great, wet lump on his crown; 1t
was so sore and bruised that it made him
feel mawkish to touch it. That was
where the falling slate hit him, he re-
membered that now. He rose and shook
himself, his limbs were all sound at any
rate. Then he took his lamp and started
in the direction of the hoist. The gallery
was completely choaked with fallen slate
and timbers. No getting out that way, he
thought. The air was bad there, and he
turned in the direction of the old shaft.
If he could reach it, perhaps the air would
be better there, and he could hold out I'M

self, but his lamp was not so fortunate.
1t lay buried, and Denny was left in inky
blackness. He CROPPED his way steadily in
the direction of the old shaft. Now and
then he stumbled over bit of fallen slate
or was narrowly missed by the falling of
loosened fragment. He grew faint and
dizzy and sat down to gain strength to
push on again.
Out of the midnight darkness ahead
a faint giimmer of light grew brighter
and brighter. He thought he heard Mary
calling to him. Then he saw the shape
OF a man with a miners lamp. The fig
ure held the lamp above its head, and he
saw the man had Mary's face. Denny
shivered and hid his face in his hands.
Was he going daft, or had he looked
on Marys wrath. He dared not look
again.
Then he felt a soft, warm arm about
his neck. felt her warm, moist lips on his
cheek, felt the hot tears as she cried
for joy. Denny, Denny, my Denny!
Alive, praise the Saintsv' That was flesh
and blood surely, and the dazed and won

1t was Denny that went up the shaft

TO hoist away. Then the windlass creak-
ed again as both men swung to it, and
Dennys wife came swiftly up. Flushed
and triumphant, she was as she stepped
from the bucket into Denny's arms.
Up at the cottage the little Denny. the
wee chip off the old block wondered
what all the fuss was about as he stared
at his coal grimed parent, whose head
was swathed in clean white bandages:
while Denny's wife and the Dugans pre-
pared a feast of Thanksgiving.

Criminal Cost Bogie.

The criminal cost bogie still con
tinues TO rise up to haunt the tax
payer OF Missouri, says the Jefferson
City Press. There seems to be no
solution to the problem of cutting
down expenses of the trials which are
held. In some instances it happens
by the state in an endeavor to Sc
cure a conviction when the only good
seems to be the fat fees OF the wit
nesses and the officials get out Of the
case The fees of the costs in the
noted Jester case have just been paid
by the state auditor, the total costs
amount to $S,135. 46. This is a
small fortune paid out to investigate
case where the evidence was not
sufficient to warrant holding the
prisoner. In the Deustrow murder
case the state paid out 50, 80 to Sc
cure a conviction. The most expen.
sive case ever tried in Missouri was
the famous murder case of the Tay-
lor brothers, who murdered the
Meeks family in Carroll county. The
ease cost the state S11, PIP 50 and
then only had the satisfaction OF
seeing one of the murderers hung,
the other having escaped and is still
at large. In the settlement OF state
expenses at the end of each biennial
period, the greatest sum paid out by
the state is the item for criminal
costs

FIRST GET YOUR "GUSHER.

We are tickled most to death at
the good things the city papers are
saying about the Bates county oil
prospects, and the immense boom on
the way. Now there is nothing THE
TINES would enjoy more than a gen
uine, substantial boom, caused by q
gusher, where hundreds of thousands
and millions are talked. and every
body go stark oil crazy. many make
huge fortunes and all of us benefit
by the good times and easy money.
We say we would welcome such a
boom, but for the Inflated boom with
a string to it III the hands of a few
parties, that will collapse and leave
us poorer and lOneiier and without
hope for hefuture. from such a boom
we pray for deliverance. The sensi-
BILE thing for Bates county people to
do is to keep their heads. Don't get
excited and go off on a tangent
Liberal inducements should be Of
fered to a company or companies to
prospect. If a ''gusher" is discov-
cred, then the trouble will be to keep
down the excitement, and unless oil
is struck in big quantities it would
be useless and detrimental to get up
excitement. We believe that there
is oil underlying portions OF this
county, but whore it is, or how deep
down, or if it will ever be found are
all problematical The first thing to
do is to get the ''gusher." then all
other things will follow, but it is the
height of folly to work up an oil boom
without the oil.
