the plot was to place Casparin upon

1906 DIE IN MINE EXPLOSION
News From Scene of Disaster Shows
Loss of Life Was Heavy.

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 3.-The lat
est information from Hondo, Mex,
where a dust explosion occurred in a
mine, shows there were LOG miners at
work when the explosion occurred and
all of them are dead. The majority of
the victims are Mexicans and China
men, few Americans having been at
work in the mine.
Every mule in the mine was killed,
three dead ones being taken from the
debris yesterday. The work of clear
ing away the wreck in order to get
to the bodies is being rushed as rapid
ly as possible, but there is no hope
that any of the 106 men will be res
cued alive. The explosion occurred in
mine No. 6, and was occasioned by
striking a gas pocket. The mine is

company to meet his brother, cur gen
erous Prince Of Deneslia, who comes
by way Of Ontro from Berlin. Word
has been received that the train in
which our prince and his family ride
will reach Ontro late today"
Late today?" answered Adria, as
though it was a small matter. 1T is
late already"
Yes. In a few hours-perhaps two
or three-the prince will be at Ontro."
They rode on for about a half mile
to a spot where the road ran through a
bit of woods and where none of Cas-
parin's mon were stationed.
No II was to be seen. The roads
were deserted. all of the tenantry be-
ing engaged in getting ready to ride
with Casparin to meet the prince.
Suddenly Adria's mare came to q

bailiff was looking another way.
Adria slid to the ground.

and ran a short distance after his fly

The sound of hoofs brought him to a
halt, and he saw with dismay the
daughter of the farmer, on her black
mare, flying in the other direction-to-
ward Ontro.
We'll I'm done!!" he growled, half
inclined to curse and yet feeling anus
ed at the Am in which the clever
girl had outwitted him. "Well, the
girl is out for a lark. Who will be the
worse for it? Not Casparin, for she
owes him nothing. l will keep my
own counsel on this matter and not be

His horse had slackened pace, and III

But in that Is minutes where was
Adria? The black mare had thundered
down the road to a bridge over the
ravine. This she crossed, struck into
the road to Ontro and went like the
wind to meet and save her prince and
one who was more than her prince
her lover.
No II staid her, but still the mare
sped on. 1t was, so Adria thought,
a race against time. At any moment
the train bearing the prince and his
family might enter Ontro, and who
knew what miscreants were lying in
wait for them there?
She reached Ontro without mishap
The ruins of Robard's inn caused her

brave American made his escape from

The farmer stepped quickly to the
side Of tho bed and looked down into
the upturned eyes. He saw at once
that the deiirium had passed. What
cvef this man said now was said with
full possession of his reason.
You sent for me- said Nolner.
"NVhat is it you wish to say
you are Eolner?" whispered Buck
ford, using his voice only enough to
carry the faint words to Volner's low
cred ear.
"That is my name" was the answer
"Do you know Hne?"
"Your daughter-her name is .Adria?"
"Why, yes. Twas she who nursed
