London, Oct 20.-The Alaska boun-

agreement whereby all the American
contentious are sustained, with the
exception of those in relation to the
Portland canal, which Canada wins.
All that now remains to be done is
for the commissioner to affix their

traitors. Up to noon Saturday there
was an acute possibility that dis
agreement would result and the whole
proceedings fall to the ground. Lord

argument that the United States was

vas right, though it was not until a
fortnight that they arrived at a trad
ing station. where his opinion was
verified.
Being already so far from the Pa
cific coast, they decided to follow the
current to the east. and after pur-
chasing a large wood skin" and
plenty of arms and ammunition, and
hiring a member Of an interior. tribe
for guide, they pursued their way
down the great river. Four months
after making their escape from the
Incas' cave they arrived at Santarem.
where they were able to get passage
in sailing vessel to Para. and from
that city took steamer for New York.
1t was nearly eight months from
that eventful morning when Inozene
was the intended victim Of the Incas'
awful sacrifciaI ceremony, that the
steamship reached New York quarau-
tine Eight months daily Intercourse
with her companions. and proper hab-
iliments which had been obtained for
her at one OF the Amazon river
towns had changed her appearance
wonderfully. She had learned to
speak English. too. with a most
charming accent, and Keith, who had
cabled his sister from Para. was not
at all doubtful as to the impression
Imozene would make when she came
aboard to welcome them.
The bars Of gold had been ex-
changed for drafts at Santarem and
Para. ara after negotiating for the
sale Of most OF the uncut gems which
they had brought with them. Fitch
and Jose Rodriguez sailed for Liver
pool, the former to dazzle the eyes OF
his Cocl1ney relatives and the Span
lard 10 return to his native country.
Ford Kinsale and Keith bought
homes near each other close to New
York. Kinsale once in a while talks
about going back 10 Peru with
larger party and exploring the Incas'
cave further, and seeing If something
cannot be done toward reopening and
working the abandoned mines Of the
ancient tribe. 1t would mean untold
wealth, but nevertheless Keith al
ways does his best TO discourage such
suggestions He cannot forget old
InzalkTs warning, or the prophetic
vision he himself beheld while under
the priests hypnotic influence.
And then, Ford doesn't talk nearly
as much about journeying to the IN
civilized portions Of the globe as he
did Keeths sister, who finds that
she is no longer so necessary TO her
brothers comfort. now that he is
married. has consented to give more
of her attention To Ford, which sat
isles him far bette than anything
the field OF exploration has to offer.

Come, seniors! at once"
He naturally took the lead. and.
with Ford and Keeth's assistance, set
about closing the entrance of their re-
treat. From some dark part Of the
chamber ne produced a rudely
wrought iron bar. and with its aid
pried several bulky bouIders into the
passage. These they checked with
smaller stones. finally completing a
barrier that would cause their enc
mics much trouble in breaking down.
even providing they discovered the
fugitives' retreat. Then. with the bar
in one hand and a blazing torch in the
other, Jose led his little party deeper

As they went on they had often to
halt and examine with interest the
csrven walls and hideously scuIptured
columns which upheld the roof of the
caverns. In some apartments were
rude FORCES and iron and bronze i'm
PIGMENTS which showed the early oc-
cdpants of the caverns to have pos

In one great cave, the roof Of which
arched above their heads like the

Jose led them to a point in the wall
where a seam Of glittering quartz.
quite two feet wide, was laid bare
from base to roof, It flashed back the
light Of the torches most dazzlingly.
It was a vein Of gold!
A little farther on they passed into
a smaller chamber through a crum-
bling doorway The door Itself lay
upon the floor, but the Ifntels were
still well preserved, showing how
slight the action Of the atmosphere
had been upon them during the cen
turtles since they were placed there.
The air was perfectly dry and sweet
throughout the cave.
