Speeches were made for Miss Chamber

that we're pledged to support Mr.. Car
penter, voted for him and we're promptly

SWINGING ROCK FIRMLY FIXED,
South American Natural Wonder De.
fled Dictator of Argentine.

One of the strangest Of natural
wonders of South America, is the
swinging rock of Tandil u.a piedra
hovediza). says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The stone lies about half an
hours walk from the city of Tandil
province OF Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, upon the highest summit Of
little rocky ridge. When seen from
the ravine 1t has the form of n giant
pyramid. while from another view It
resembles an enormous cone. 1t is
twenty-one feet long and twenty-eight
feet high, and its weight is judged to
be about 1880 hundredweight. or
about 627 tons. From the distance the
stone presents n peculiar aspect. 1t is
so highly poised on the rocky slope
that 1t seems as II we were watching
stone roll down the hill and resting
Tor second upon very small base.
But when we approach this swinging
rock we are astonished by new
wonder. We can set the stone in mo.
ton by merely pushing 1t with the
hand. Very often the traveller is
spared even the trouble of pushing
the stone, as the wind will cause it
10 swing.
Early in the nineteenth century the
Argentine Republic was ruled by the
dictator Rosa with unparalleled cruel.
ty for about twenty-five years. To
show his supreme power the tyrant
ordered that the stone be encircled
with rOpeS and many horses tn no
harnessed to these ropes-but the
stone could not be moved one inch
from its resting place.

of writing one Singing crushing, killing" note
to David in the event of Miss L'Estrange proving
him false And, in fact, not one, but many such
notes had been written down at Dale Manor. But
none of them had ever been sent; her deep disdain
had kept her silent
But" cried David at the spur of sudden glad
thought, since Miss Mordaunt wrote to you, and
you to her. you know her address, and can give it
to mel"
NO. don't know her address," answered Miss
L Estrange. Il believe that Strauss may have
been afraid that if knew it might give it to you
SO he must have prevented her from putting it on
her letter. There was address it, l don't
think, for when | wrote back to her l gave my
letter to Strauss to send.
"Ah, he's cautious beast!" said David bitterly.
Still, I'll have him-not tomorrow, but tonight.
Quick now-his address.
We'll, 1 promised not to tell it to anyone

never break promise when my word is once passed
III just write it down on piece OF paper, and drop
it on the floor by accident, and then if anybody
should happen to notice it and pick it up without
my seeing that will be no business of mine"
She rose, walked to desk, and went through this
pantomime in all seriousness. The address
dropped on the carpet, and David happening" to
L'Estrange's unconscious back 1t had on it the
number of house near Hanover Square; and in
another moment David had pressed the ladys hand
Not even word of thanks, said Miss l. Estrange
to herself she looked after his flying back
. Blow blow thou winters wind!'
David leaped into his waiting cab and was off
across London.
Light was still in Hupfeldts quarters, and
Hupfedt himself, at the moment when David
rang, porting over the last words of the diary
of her who had been part of his life. He was 1vid
with fear at the knowledge just learned for certain
from the written words that there still hidden
in the fiat photograph of him and his last letter
to Gwendoline when he heard alteration be-

moment later he heard Neil cry out sharply and
then he was aware of hurried step coming in upon
him. The first thought of his secretive nature
the diary, and with the trepidations of miser
surprised in counting his gold, he hustled it into
secret recess of the bureau which he had been
reading He had hardly done this when he stood
face to face with David.
At that moment van Hupfeldt's face seemed lit
with lunacy of alright surprise, and rage. David
with his hat rather drawn his eyes, and with

keep cool, and let me have my way We must
your side for the moment, and | stand alone"
Then the outer door heard to SIAM for Neil
had run out to summon help.
m not acting on my own behalf" said David;
but for the sake of girl whose life, l feel sure,
you are going to make bitter. She cares nothing
for you, and even if she did, she is to find out
sooner or later that you Strauss; So her be-
half, I'll just make a hurried search before the
police come The things not yours. If your
heart wasn't weak, I'd maui you till you will
ling to hand them over of your own accord -
With that David made toward the
bureau, whereupon van Hupfeldt uttered scream
and flew upon him like cato mountain but David
flung him away to the other end of the room.
Scattered over the bureau number of
letters in their enveops ready for the post and the
first of these upon which David eve fell was directed
to Miss Violet Mordaunt
Here 1uckl Even as his heart bounded
before even he had seen word of the address, he
was in darkness-van Hupfeldt had switched off
the light.
And once again David felt himself outdone
by the cunning of this man. The was large,
needle in bundle of hay. In which direction to
grope for it David did not know He ran to where he
had flung van Hupfeldt to compel him by main
force to turn on the light But van Hupfeldt was
longer there. The suddenness of the darkness
made it black to the eyes. David could not find
the switch, and, fearing lest Hupfeldt might
snatch away the letter to Violet in the dark he
flew back to the bureau, overseeing first chair,
and then coliding with Hupfeldt little
distance from the bureau. Again, he flung van
Hupfeldt far, and keeping near the bureau CROPPED
along the beading of the WALL to if he could
encounter another switch.
In the midst of this search his ears detected the
sound of key in the outer door, and understanding
that help had arrived for the enemy, instantly he
took his decision felt for the eight ten envelops
the Bureau slipped them all into his pocket, and
was gone. In the hail. coming inward, he met Neil
and an officer; but, as if making deep bow to the
majesty of the law he slipped as easily wave
under the officers hand, and disappeared through
the wide-open door. The officer ran after him
This simple From the moment when David
pitched through the house door below the stairs,
he was never by that particular officer
to the day of his death.
Under lamp in Oxford-st, when he stopped
running he took out Strauss letters from his pocket
with hand that shook, for in his heart was the
thought, Suppose have left hers behind!"
But no; that fifth hers: Miss Violet

worth Remembrance to him with an
ache of rapture. Within twenty-four hours he
would see her! He pleased that he was at
the pains to throw Strauss other letters into the
first pillar box. What did it matter, now that the
diary, the certificates, anything everything had
been f1ched from him? Tomorrow no, that day.
he would see Violet.
