no clew as to Pearls whereabouts, he
recommended a call upon the king
The quartette searched the haunted
house thoroughly first, to satisfy
themselves that the lost ones were not
within it's portals, then visited the
kings palace.
The king, not overburdened with q
surplus of servants, answered the ring
at the door, himself. "Well?" he

following Schiller into his office

wher she u.s."
"Your wishes can't be many-a con-

himself from striking the insulting
man.

Rogers, speaking for the first time.
II know that Mrs. Lang is in this
house. Her husband may be a COD
vict, but she, as wife. is bound to
receive protection from every honest

THAT will do, Rogers!" said the
king, very calmly. When you say
Mrs. Lang is in this house, you lie!"
What might have taken place after
this declaration is hard to say.
Whether Rogers would have tried
conclusions with his superior or not
never was demonstrated. Schiller had
scarce hurled the threat, when pierre

are really fainting spells, and the pa

THAT remains to be seen. It would
be foolish for me to give my plans

Il know Wilson pretty well, and can
guess his plans for revenge. How

fall into my hands for safe keeping.
I'll treat you fair; but | want to give

There are two meanings to this"
said Lang to himself.
II shall make Wilson overseer of

rascal like yourself. l can trust him

drift. "And you, Lang, | shall have
to give a pick and shovel and send
you into labor with the diggers-

to absolute silence, so you can talk all
you want to; but l advise you not to

sation with Golden, that | bear Schil-

Your experience must come from hav-
ing hard knocks, and your salvation
must come through your own self"
At this juncture Cronoley Rogers
assistant, entered the Office.
"Give an ignorant man authority
and he will abuse it" such was the
case of Cronoley. He was a great
burly, grizzled Irishman, of the typical
kind At one time he had been a
sewer cleaner in one of our large
cities. He had killed a companion in
fit of anger and made his escape
through the subterranean passages
which he knew so we'll He fell in
with a band of thieves later, and in
turn fell in with the convicts under
Schiller. The king had appointed him
to the position he now held, and It is
safe to assume that he was the kind
to take advantage of his power.
Cronoley conducted the twain to
their respective working stations. II
only took Lang about 10 minutes to
divine Rogers true thoughts in as
signing him to work with the dig
gers"--in the main, life prisoners, and
for that reason most desperate lot
of prisoners, whatever they had been
sentenced for. The reason. then, was
apparent to Lang. Here was the place
to stir up the instruction! Lang set

possible.
Lang fell under Cronoley's dis

ness in holding his pick and awkward

not too gentle terms was reprimanded

nature would mean twenty strokes of

of being allowed to go home for din
ner at noon, he was compelled to load
up an extra car of dirt during the
noon hour alone, and only given 5
minutes for rest and a very light
lunch of dry bread and black coffee.
This was the first day. Lang was
not so sure that the course he had
laid out for himself was the best, but
having started on the plan, despite
any discomfort to himself, he meant
to carry it out In the evening Wilson

each ate few scraps to appease their
almost ravenous appetite. Something
seemed to warn the lads that strug-
gle of momentous Importance was
about to take place. Waiting until
there could be no doubt but what the
absence of the two was not occasioned
by the fact that they were simply out
walking, Lang and Wilson went to the
home of Golden and stated the case
to him.

Golden, readily, "but what it is is hard
to state. l hardly think that he has

Eating Humble Pie"

There is a queer twist or language
I'm the phrase ito eat humble pie. "
The word humble" is corrupted
form of the original humble" which
is an inedible part of the carcass of a
deer and would make very poor pie.
The words humble pie" have the
same original meaning as ito eat
crow" a phrase common in political
life. There is an enforced humility
in this process and the change from
humble" to humble" introduced a
thought which harmonized with the
idea sought to be expressed. The last
form of the phrase has entirely sup.

After a few short hours of rest, Will

Pearls help the twain managed to
scare up sufficient food, easily pre-
pared, which answered for breakfast.
With the intention of giving no visible
excuse to Schiller for further punish
ment, and realizing that promptness
in reporting for duty was essential If
they expected leniency, they hunted
Rogers up and gave themselves in
charge.
Rogers conducted Lang and Wilson
to cabin built in the side of the
mountain, situated in the north cor

heart of the mountain. The mines
were practically only a tunnel about
