Extending for thousands OF feet be-
meath the earth's surface, joined by a
vast labyrinth of tunnels and leads,
the great iron mines of Maitland, New
south Wales, still yield their riches to
the hardy toilers with sledge and bar
just as they have done for scores of
years already past and probably will
continue to do for centuries to come.
Yet deep down in that mammoth
excavation there is a vein of the rich.
est magnetic iron ore, where the min
ers never strike blow and where Wis
itOrs are rarely shown. This remark
able lead is locally designed as The
Haunted Vein-why and with what ap-
propriateness may be judged from the
following bit of history, which has
never before appeared in print.
Early in the spring of 1893, a miner
who was tOiling alone at the farthest
extremity of this big vein suddenly
startled by hearing the cry of human
voice, coming, apparently, from be-
yond the very wall which formed the
end OF the lead. The man uttered an
answering cry and, with his heavy
sledge poised in air. listened for a
repetition OF the thrilling sound.
Help! Help"
God above u.s." gasped the startled
man, there's some one entombed
here" and, turning. he sprang away to
give the alarm at the main shaft.
The boss foreman, with a gang In
charge, happened to be descending in
"a big cage just as Miner Chessman ap-
peared. and the excited man called
them to stop.
There's somebody buried alive at
the end OF the siX.fOot lead!" he pant.
ed; come and help me rescue him."
and before his startled superior could
question him, Chessman turned and
darted back.
The foreman rushed in pursuit with
six strong men, eager for the rescue.
He is there; right beyond the big
column!" breathessly declared the
miner, as he seized his siedge once
again, preparatory to beginning opera.
tions. But at this point the puzzled
foreman stepped forward and laid his
hand firmly upon Cheeseman's arm.
What do YOU mean?' he slowly
articulated. The big miner turned u

tor.

his breath sounded like the hiss of eS

more, Chessman, the very suggestion
is absurd. There is absolutely moth

postulated the miner. Perhaps only

His manner proclaimed the sincerity
OF his words, but Foreman Gouchy
obviously shook his head.

what the papers had said, and no signs
of starvation had been encountered at
his home. Conscience and duty whis-
pered to Mr.. Bowser to break away
and get back home, but it was too
late. Mr.. Burns got sight Of him and
put down his beer glass to eXclaim:

since. You were very aggravating,
but / should not have lone as l did.
Duty and conscience have brought me
here to apologize and ask you what
sum will make it right"
What sum-" shouted Burns as he
danced around and beat the air with
his fists. II want a hundred dollars
and not a cent less. No man can
make a monkey Of me without paying
well for it"
But a hundred dollars is simply
ridiculous"

with that seven men moved Town on
Mr.. Bowser and kept him tolerably
busy for the next five minutes. Duty
and conscience took to instant flight,
and he thought of Mrs. Bowser and
the yaller eyed cat on the steps and
wished he was with them, but The odds
were too great for the fraezs to last
long. After receiving a black eye and
q bloody nose the man of conscience
backed Nout of the door and took a run
for it. and. though somewhat handi-
capped by a hearty dinner and n heel
missing from a shoe, he managed to
keep ahead OF the gang and finally en-
ter his own gate.
"Well, did you find Mr.. Burns| ask
ed Mrs. Bowser as re was passing her.
"Who do you mea by Burns?" he
grufly demanded.

"Ice cream. Great Scott! I throw
an innocent man over the fence and
lay him up for days and days and his

science pricks me, and yet you coolly
turn around and ask me to go out
with you to hog down ice cream. Let's

him and his. You and your yaller eyed

Mr.. Bowser rose up with reproach
and indignation showing in every line
Of his face, and as he walked down to
the gate she called after him:
IF anything happens, and I am quite
sure something will, don't come home
and say it was all my fault. My adj

1t was an easy thing to find James
Burns. His place of residence was only
seven blocks away, and after once get
ting started Mr.. Bowser'S face wore
a sort Of heavenly smile. and his con-
science ceased wriggling about for the
first time in a week. At the door of
the tenement house he was told that
Jimmy, as everybody seemed privi-
legged to call Mr.. Burns, was over at
the butchers and might not be back
for an hour. Mr.. Bowser doubted if
his conscience would keep for another
hour without ice to preserve it, and
he followed on to the man of meat, to
be guided to a corner saloon. There
were seven or eight men in there drink
ing beer, and among them he easily
recognized the man he had thrown
over the fence. Mr.. Burns seemed to
be in his usual good health, no matter
