i lameness, he was quite sound. How
! silent it wasi A leaf futtering through
the opening above startled him as il
rustled to rest among its fellows.
He gazed upwards. Vines swung
| down, but stopped far short of his high
| est reach. The walls curved dome-like,
unscalable, No escape was possible. He
turned from the tantalizing contenpla-
ton of the upper living world, and again
looked about him. In the other end of
the cavern, he discerned jagged streak
of greater blackness. Painfully, for
each shaken muscle rebelled, he crept
along the walls into the twilight Per-
haps there Law a rift through which he
might climb to the blessed light of day
He reached the blackness, and
stretching forth his hand, encountered
no resistance. Weak and shaken as he
was would It be wise to make the at
tempt at once2 He shook his head He
would need all his nerve for that dark
way. He had matches, however, He
took them out and counted Twenty-Five
On his hands and knees he crept for
ward The darkness was impenetrable
He struck d light and held it aloft.
Ragged and torn by some giant blast,
the riven walls extended on either side
called the great underground path hav-
ing its outlet on the sea, that once, so
history tells, had sheltered "a fleeing
tribe He had himself explored the hot
caves of Puma that extend for miles I'M
der the place of Pele's sledging.
For the undertaking before him he
must have strength, who could tell how
far or how difficult the journey? He
rose, stepped back into the chamber,
stolidly returned to his bed of leaves, lay
down, and, after thoroughly rubbing his
aching limbs, turned over and slept. 1
He awoke refreshed The sun was
now directly overhead. and great shaft
of light, boiling with golden moats, !
found its wav into the depths of his
tomb. Opunui looked at it long. He
might never see the sunlight again He !
shook himself There must be no delay. !:
He must not wait till hunger weakened
him.
He walked quickly, to the gap, turned .
for one last glance at the yellow sun
beam, and pressed into the dark. On |
and on he crept, feeling his way with
cat-like care. He could not tell what
progress he was making, but, to his dis
may, the trend of the path was down
ward. For hours he worked on, when
he found no foothold. He
threw out a tentative hand into empty
air, and with a shiver he drew back.
Over what awful chasm might he not be
hanging. At any cost he must see.
He struck match. The CLEAN of
water almost at his feet startled him.
The light fared up, revealing a stream
winding on, now broad, now narrow,
i'll it was swallowed into the utter dark.
lie gasped with relief He had reached
level. The river must somewhere find
n outlet. The match burned to a red
inc, and fell kissing.
Opunri secured the precious. matches

THE GENIAL IDIOT
On the Revival of the Troubado ur.
BY JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.
Copyright 1904, by John Russell Davidson.

puolc gathering anywhere at which
somebody's troubadours was not n.
conspicuous feature"
How about our Public Libraries?"
demanded Mr.. Brief. "rhey must sup
ply certain amount of poetry for
their readers"
Il was coming to that" said the
ldlot. That's the easiest complica-
ton of the lot. Let every library keen
on It's payroll, according to its means.
one or more troubadours who SHAH
be in constant attendance for the
purpose of distributing the poems of
the hour. Instead of asking for a.
volume of Herrick, all reader would
have to do would be to call for the
troubadour and get all the Herrick he
wants. Instead of being an obstruc-
ton to the scheme the Public Library
end of it is a great point in its favor.
There are 10000 public libraries in this
country and on low estimate of the
demand for troubadours their partici-
patton in the scheme would give en-
ploment to 10000 at present unem-
ployed people. A big institution like
the Boston Public Library would
probably secure a crop of troubadours
twenty or thirty of them-to supply
the demand, and one of its functions
would be to 4ive Poetic afternoons
and evenings at which these tried and
true singers would render the latest
output of the inspired. In short the
libraries could do for poetry exactly
what our Symphony and Philharmonic
Societies are doing for music"
THE next step to that, / suppose, "
suggested the Bibliomaniac, would be
the Automatic Troubadour to take the
place of the human instrument just as
the Bangerola has superseded the pi-
anO player"
That's it," agreed the Idiot. THAT
would naturally follow-indeed ii
would probably be the only way in
which a large number of consumers
could get any poetry at all. Follow
ing the Troubadour principle to the I'LL
innate of possibilities we'd find inven-
tors getting up Poetry Boxes similar
to the music boxes that are so popu-
lar a feature of suburban life in ev-
cry land. No home that can afford
a music box would hesitate to go in
for a poetry box and we could conf
IDENTIFY look for automatic arrange
ments by which on a single cylinder
we could provide selections from
NYairkham, Watson, Kipling, Alfred
Austin and a dozen others of re-
nown. These could be manufactured

Some Money in Geese.

Raising geese for market and the

than cows or hens, and little or no out
lay for buildings. The old geese do
well in all weathers, oftentimes disdain-
ing even a shed, and thy do well on
wet or marshy land, where hens and
turkeys will not thrive. They, how
ever have their peculiarities. II
they are changed often from one place
to another, they are not apt to breed
we'll. They breed better the third sea-
son they are in a locality. The Emb-
dem White China are the earliest to
pick, and are white when dressed. The
Embden-African are also easy to pick
and larger than the White China.
These two breeds, crossed, produce Wig
orous quick growing goslings. The
Emblem Toulouse Is regarded as the
most satisfactory cross for large geese
for Christmas and New Year trade.
Old geese lay a greater number OF
larger eggs and are more reliable than
young birds, and lay more fertile eggs.
Breeding geese should have consider
able exercise and be kept moderately
thin in flesh through the winter by
light feeding and a free range, or fa-
ciities for swimming. The Toulouse
geese lay well, but often do not sit.
The Embden geese lay fewer eggs, but
make better mothers

eight hours would be given ungruding-
