In the Dark.

Providence and my deceased
parents had kindly settled my
future for me by bestowing upon
me a fortune and promising my
hand in marriage to Dallas Gale,
the son of an old friend.
Until I was 10 years of age I
knew nothing about my future
nothing more than his
photograph told-that he was
broad ahouldered, straight and
good looking. What else he was
I could not tell up to a few weeks
before my marriage.
On the day that Dallas Gale was
to arrive for visit before claim
ing me as his bride 1 was at MY
wits end to know how to amuse
him during his stay. In this ex-
tremity Laura Tremaine cooliy an
no1nced: Il do not think you
need be afraid of Dallas Gales
requiring much amusement. There
is nothing he dislikes so much in
general.
1t was the first time she had
ever mentioned his name as an .ac-
quaintance, and I did not think it
quite fair.
When he was announced by the
butler the evening of his arrival
Laura's hands clenched tightly
and her face flushed. As heenter-
ed the room she disappeared.
Dallas had been with us a week
when we started one day to visit
the catacombs in Dark Place. We
were all in darkness, of course. I
strayed some way in advance of
the party, when presently there
was a low, eager whisper, then a
quick rustic, and someone glided
rapidly past me without a sound.
The next moment strong hand
was placed on my shoulder and I
heard the whisper in my ear this
time.
will it hurt you for me to
speak this once?"
The involuntary start gave
caused the speaker to tighten his
hold on my arm. Instead of an
swering I began to tremble like a
child.
Il must speak, Dallas said in
the same earnest whisper, and
YOU must listen. Obi my darling
forgive me. I cannot bear it any
longer. Heaven knows I tried not
to love you, to keep out of your
way. It was you who came here
voluntarily. Laura, can you for
give me for trying to win your
love when I knew it would be
wrong TO do so, and that to tear
myself away and try to live with
out you would be torture. And
to think I must be tied to that
little foolish thing with all her
money! Laura, I cannotl"
For one moment there swept
over me something like a food of
emotion. All my power OF speech
deserted me, and ! grew sick and
weak. Before either could speak
1 heard the rest of the party APP
preaching, and Dallas dropped my
arm and turned to speak TO the

others with more composure than
I thought he could summon.
Rushing home. went to my
room and gave vent to my grief
and modification in tears. When
my uncle returned I announced
my intention of going back to
Wales to live with my aunt. While
we were talking Dallas came in,
and the light that shone in his
eyes when he heard of my leav-
ing told me more plainly than any
words could how glad he was to
be relieved of the burden.
The tears were very near the
brim as I babe him goodby. For
one moment his hand clasped mine
for one moment his eyes looked
into mine, then we both heard
Laura's step and I fed from the
room without looking at her.
I have never seen either of them
since.

the cavern in perfect safety, and even
have lunch underground for the guardian
has fitted up a neat1ittle restaurant about
fifty feet below the surface.
This cave is we'll worth visit, for the
forest of huge stalagmites over sixty
feet high and the stalactites reflected in
the pure unruffied surface of the river
and illuminated by powerful arc lamps,
make a spectacle too magnificent to be
described in words.
By the way, may mention another
legend connected with this cavern. When
Joan of Arc drove the English out OF
France, so goes the story, some OF the
English soldiers took refuge in this
cavern and brought with them an enor-
nous sum in gold sewed in a calf skin.
How they got into the cave, and whether
they ever got out again, the legend does
not state; but at any rate they are said
to have thrown the gold into the sub
terranean river. When l bought the cave
the landlord actually put clause in the
contract that if | ever found the sack of
gold l was to give it to him. | gravely
promised l would; and further that if
1 ever found Old Nick's "orthopedic
shoe" or any other part of his wardrobe
or belongings l would give that up too.
Needless to say, | never did find any
thing, though l dragged the river-not
for gold, but for blind fish. l have found
small beetles and spiders, both blind,
hundreds of feet below ground. No
plants, however, except fungi, are ever
found any great distance from the shaft.
We have nothing in Europe so large
as your Mammoth Cave of Kentucky.
The Mammoth has been explored to a
distance of ten miles, and the largest in
Europe is Adelsberg in Austria, six and
quarter miles; Aggtelek in Hungary,
five and half miles; and Kleinhaurel in
Austria, four and a half miles, comes
next; and the fourth largest is Bramabeau
in France, which is furlOng or so more
than four miles
would like to tell you of the strange
and beautiful sights l have seen under
ground-Rabanel, for instance, where L
found an immense hall, like cathedral,
three hundred and thirty feet long and
nearly five hundred feet high. That re-
minds me that you will perhaps wonder
how l tell the height of a caves roof.
1t is simple enough. Among the multi
farious things l take down with me are
small Montgolfer balloon made of strong
thin paper, neatly folded, a sponge and
a bottle of alcohol. If the ceiling is too
high to be touched with a pole, | fasten
the sponge to the paper bag, pour some
alcohol on it, light it, and away goes my
balloon to the roof and carries a thin
silk Irvine with it. That gives me the
exact height at once.
What made the splendid cave of Raba-
mel look still more like cathedral was
that at the far end near the roof was
circular aperture-another opening that
we did not know of-and as it was over
grown with plants and the sun was full on
it, the resemblance to the rose windows
of some grand old fame was remarkable.
Another splendid hall was at Gapina
Gill in Yorkshire, England. A brook
empties itself into the cave through the
only entrance; and l had to go down
three hundred and sixty feet through
waterfall-rather damp and dangerous
undertaking, as you may imagine-and

You're going to put your money and your
feet into shoes of some kind: it makes quite
a difference what shoes you put them into
There are a good many things to con-
sider-looks, wear, comfort; you want all
of these and there's one way of being sure
of getting them when you buy pair of new
shoes: anybody can tell after the shoes are
worn out.
Look for the name SELF on the sole; if
you find it, you find shoe that will give all
three of the above qualities.

the company and which promises even greater
improvement in years to come. 1t easily may
be demonstrated by studying the financial con-
dlIon of the property that II could increase its
rate OF dividend on the common stock to Z
per cent basis. and at the same time make lib
eraI appropriations for betterments. etc. and
also add good sized sums to the surplus on hand.
Any increase in the dividend rate naturally will
benefit the Canadian Pacific. as the latter COM
pany is the largest holder Of the 800" stocks.
Rates for sterling exchange advanced yester-
day to a level near the point at which shipments
Of gold could be made from this centre. 1t was
reported in the course Of the day that inquiries
were being made in New-York for gold for
South American account, representing efforts
on the part of London bankers to shift the de-
mand for the precious metal at that centre TO
this side Of the ocean. AS money rates continue
easy under the influence of large returns of cur
rency from the interior, it is quite natural 10
expect higher rates for exchange, and in the
event of a further upward movement in quota
tons for sterling an outward movement of gold
will be inaugurated. AT this period the local
market is in good position to send gold 70
Europe, inasmuch the banks are increasing
their reserves, while the supply of gold in tho
country is larger than ever before on record and
shipments of the metal would not cause unfav-
ora BILE developments in the money markets Of
the United States. If outward movement
of gold should reach heavy proportions. it would
be automatically checked by an advance in rates
for money here. Wall Street is not at all
alarmed over the foreign exchange situation,
particularly as it is realized that if gold goes
abroad the movement will be in response to legi-
innate international monetary conditions. A
gold movement based such conditions is far
different from one that arises from the with
draWal Of foreign capital due to uneastness on
the part Of foreigners over financial and bust
ness conditions IN the United States.
