CHAPTER VIII.

Somehow or ether, by hook and
crook. and between the three of us,
we got Bernard Huddlestone bundled
upstairs and laid upon the bed in MY
Uncle's Room" During the whole proc
ess, which was rough enough, he gave
no sign of consciousness, and he re-
manned, as we had thrown him, with
out changingShe position of finger.
His daughter opened his shirt and be-
gan to wet his head and bosom, while
Northmour and ran to the window.
The weather continued clear; the
moon. which was now about full, had
risen and shed clear light upon the
links; yet, strain our eyes as we might,
we could distinguish nothing moving.
Thank Cod" said Northmour, Gag
gle is not coming tonight"
Aggie was the name of the old
nurse. He had not thought of her till
now; but that he should think OF her
at all was a trait that surprised me in
the man.
We were again reduced to waiting.
Northmour went to the fireplace and
spread his hands before the red en-
bers, as il he were cold. ] followed
him mechanically with my eyes, and in
so doing turned my back upon the
window. At that moment a very faint
report was audible from without. and
a ball shivered a pane of glass, and
buried itself in the shutter two inches
from my head. heard Clara scream.
and though l whipped instantly out OF
range and into corner, she was there
SO to speak, before me. beseeching to
know IL l were hurt | continued 10
reassure her, with the tenderest caress-
es and in complete forgetfulness of our
situation, till the voice of Northmour
recalled me TO myself
There is one point that we must
know" said he. Are they going to
butcher the lot OF us, or only Huddle-
stone? Did they take you for him. or
fire at you FOR your own beaux yeaux %
They took me TOR him, for certain, u

Northmour, and lie stepped up 10 the
window, holding the lamp above his
head, and stood there. quietly affront-
| ing death, for half minute.
Yes" said Northmour. turning cool

"Oh, Mr.. Northtour." cried Clara f:
but found no moreto add, the temerity
| she had just witnessed seeming beyond
| the reach Of words
He. on his part. booked at me, cock
! ing his head with . fire of triumph In
his eyes; and understood at once that
| he had thus hazaTAed his life merely
TO attract Ciara's notice, and dcpose
me from my position as the hero OF
| the hour. lie snapped his fingers.
''The fire is only beginning" he said
When they warm up TO their work

Gen. Miles is now quoted as OK
pressing regret for his ac,ion in

Davis when he was the jailsr Of

The repentance comes rather late.

Gusively the existence, direction and character Of ore bodies, in addition to the wonderful exposure made by na- tCre. In the mind of the critic there is always some undetermined feature in an undeveloped mine, else would mines be as marketable as business llocks and at as nearly their intrinsic Y orth. In the White property the only undetermined feature is the mineral valueS carried by the ore bodies that certainly exist in the heart of the hill beyond present development. If they clrry the values thus far exposed, and
 ;erything indicates the values are bet ,-r. it is a mine to tie to, for the ore quantity is fully demonstrated.
