WHAT cried Bob ''The bears!"
ooh, mol! laughed Uncle Eben "The 'griz-
zly' is big iron grating that prevents the
ooulders from going any farther That's the
name miners have for it.
Then they all rode on for mile further,

piece of cookey to a horned toad that was
blinking in the sun by the roadside.
Pm glad you didn't wear your best clothes,
said Uncle Eben, as they arrived near the next
mine, "for now we must go in at this tun-
nel."
The children looked toward the big black
hole in the hill as Uncle Eben tied the horse;
and Bob rejoiced that now they were going
to see real mine.
"One that's up in the open air don't seem
much like real one" said he.
They all stopped at the entrance, and Uncle
Eben furnished each one with lighted candles,
and in they went
The bottom of the tunnel was uneven, for it
followed the surface of the bedrock. On each
side the damp walls reflected the light of the
candles, and overhead the children could catch
glimpses of the roof, which was. strongly tim
bered at regular distances, and down the sides
water dripped from springs far above their
heads.
"Dear mel" said Bob, as he vainly tried to
keep the drops Of water from falling either on
his candle or into his face. II wish we had one
of your 'umbersols' now, Nita."
Running along the middle of the tunnel was
a railroad, on which cars loaded with earth
were run out by mules The children met
several cars before they reached the end of the
tunnel; and on one side of the path was
large drain or fume, carrying off great
stream of water from the interior works of the
mine.
At last the tunnel. which Uncle Eben said
was fifteen hundred feet long, ended, and they
found themselves in place from which branch
ed off numerous galleries.
Many of these they explored, and in one they
found a workman who had just discovered a
little "pocket" Of gold. He turned over the

which supported the roof. Once in while,
too. they came upon that wide hume again,
with its swiftly flowing water.
CHOW, guess wel go back" said Uncle
Eben, at last and as he spoke there came
loud scream from Nita.
"Oh, unclelV cried Bob.
And Uncle Eben sprang toward the boy lust
in time to see Nita fall headlong into the wa

And then Bob saw what Uncle Eben was

"No. I isn't" said Nita, raising her head
from Uncle Eben's shoulder and peering out
from the folds of the coat in which she had
been wrapped; "but took an awful swim, and

And Nita began to cry

said Uncle Eben.
And hastily telling the miner that he would
see him again, Uncle Eben hurried off to the
wagon, and they all drove home as fast as pos
sible to relate the startling adventures Of the
day.
Nta could never again be eoaxed to 20

who had rescued her, and who was long one OF
her greatest friends. Many time he told
the story Of "Nitas swim" to his fellow

was ever picked up in this mine"

And catching up the little girl, he perched
her on his shoulder. and strobe off toward his
waiting wagon, closely followed by Bob and
Ned with the lunch pail.
They ratified along the dusty road for cou-
pie of miles toward the "hillpart," as Uncle
Eben called that which they were to visit
first. The "hill-part" had not been worked
very long, and was yet. above ground, al
though several hundred feet below the point
where Uncle Eben refined up the horse.
Looking down below, the children could see
great holes in the yellow sides of the excava-
ton, and iron pipes leading down one side
over.
"What are those men doing there?" asked
Bob, as he pointed to some red-ehirted figures
far below.
"You'll see in minute. They are at the
distributing box said Uncle Eben.
And in a moment three great jets of water
shot from near where the men were standing.
The powerful jets went straight forward, as
steadily as il they were made of metal and
struck the high, gravely hillsides two hundred
feet away with tremendous force, making great
round holes into it, and tossing aside the
sand and dirt, and throwing heavy boulders

would be hard work managing that water"
Just then there was great commotion down
below. The men at work all ran toward the
opposite side from the jets, and then there
came a loud crash, and the upper part Of the
opposite bank fell, bringing down huge boul-
ders and even small trees with it. Nita was
frightened.

GSY0T is not to be supposed that a nice
E&H little, curly haired girl should be bur
SA& dened with such name as "Snee-
EQENY1I ter" The idea is dreadful. But
when your name really happens to
be Nita, and you are so little that
you can't talk plainly, and unfortunately call
yourself "Sneeter," the name is very apt to
stick to you, especially if you have some fun
loving older brothers to make it stick
And when one of these brothers changes the
name to "Skeeter, and every time a mosquito
comes around, calls out, Here's one of your
relatives come to see you'll" why, it is apt to be
rather provoking to fve-year-old.
AT least, that is what Nita thought. Still,
she was very fond of the same two brothers,
Bob and Ned, and even forgave Ned for wash
ing an apple off with soap, and then giving it
to her to eat and laughing because she made
faces at the unpleasant taste.
And Bob and Ned were as fond of Nita
as eleven and twelve,-year-old boys could be,
and were always telling their friends of her
queer speeches, and of her firm belief that the
Telegraph" as she called it, that stretched
by their house, always told in town everything
she did.
For Nita and her folks did not live lust in
town, but in an old adobe house on the road
to Uncle Eben's mine"
They frequently saw the redshirted miners
coming and going, morning and night, to and
from work, and sometimes they could hear
the dull report of some blast over in the
direction Of the mine; but the tunnels and
underground arrangements of the miners were
mysteries to the children, who had not lived
IN the present home very long.
But the three often stood beneath the great
fumes that brought the water from far away
reservoirs, and they would look up at the
heavy framework far above their heads and
listen TO the rush of water through the fumes.
Nita said it made her feel as though she want
ed an "umbersor' over her head to keep off
the wet
Uncle Eben, however, had promised TO take
his nephews and niece through the mines.
and at last the joyful day arrived when bis
promise was to be fulfilled Nothing else had
been thought of by the children for weeks and
they were up and waiting when, early on the
appointed morning, Uncle Eben put his head
