CHAPTER x.S

Though I had given my promise to
cease cutting at the cliff. and intended
to keep it, l was by no means deferred
from thinking Of escape. 1t would nave
needed more than the pangs of hunger
to make me accept perpetual imprison-
ment. And now that we might depend
with tolerable certainty on receiving a
daily supply of food, the possibility of
escape was greater thar before. We could
afford to spend months in the effort. My
thoughts turned again to burrowing un-
der the rock.
Come along, Psyche, let us go back
to the place and see what we can make
of it." said l when we had put away in
our store all that was left of the food.
She ran at once and fetched the ak,
and seemed rather sorry thai glad when
I signaled that we were not going to use
it again.
but there will be plenty Of work for
you by and by, you helpful little friend"
said I. only what we have to settle
now is which way we are TO employ our
selves to the best advantage, and not
rush into a hopeless task as we did in
our despair. Just stand quietly by my
side while I think it out. Now, there's
that mass of fallen cliff that stands be-
tween us and freedom, and there's the
sand and single on which it rests.
Where's the best place to scoop out a tun-
mel and creep under the cliff? At FIRST
sight it would seem that nature had lone
a good deal for US in making 4 great
cavity down there for Us to start from.
But I now begin to think tina the idea il
very misleading. I think that must be
the most difficult part to begin upon, Just

the mass did not descend n great way
there, and present a great obstacle, it
would have been filed up before now by
the sand sitting up every time the water
rises. Where the sand is highest, Psyche.
there the fallen Cliff must have opposed
the least resistance to the inwash of the
tide. Now there's a little water at the
bottom there we'll scoop 1t ont, aud then
see on which side the water lowe in most
quickly. Run and fetch me the crock,
Psyche-crock.'
She looked at me an instant. and then
remembering the words l had taught her,
ran of swiftly. and returned with The
crock, hugely delighted. I descended in
to the hollow and baied out the water.
and watched what followed keenly.
There" said I in triumph. look at
the little thread of winter glis.ening in
the light. That comes from the right
hand, and there exactly as it shoud y.

Acting upon this theory, I found .Lc

down with the AK against the see of tie

/ was about. she fell on her knees and
dug out the loose sand, using her rancs

"Why, it's nothin' to me come to that.
But Ben's here-your grandfather-and
he can't go to sleep, according to the
Doctors orders, while you're a kickin' up

Now this seemed to me as naive a rea-
son as my grandfather himself might
have offcred-coming from the lips of a
man who all his life had observed a
Spartan Indifference to the sufferings Of
others. However, it was sufficient to
know that the noise was Objectionable.

"No you won't, blame you. About three

my boy Ben, and just for the sake of
peace and quietness, I'm going to send
you down a loaf of bread and mebbe a
lump o pork, an preaps a later or two.
But It's all perwising you take your
dyin' oath you won't kick up no more
racket, you understand that there"
As I had resolved not to work upon
the clif again, it was no great hardship
to agree to these terms-though 1 did
so without appearing to jump at mis-
offer, and rather as il to oblige my

wasted some minutes in mutual bullying
before he withdrew, during Shich time
l trembled with fear lest he should go
from his offer. When he came again into

they'll come dow pretty regular if you

but mark my words, if there's any more
hammerin' I shall not only stop the Wit
ties, but I'll come down hand over hand,
and knock your head Of your shoulders,
SO you understand that there"
We waited to hear no more when the
basket reached us, but seizing the con-
tents ran back to the great cave, and
there we devoured the food with such
laughing gladness and fervent gratitude
as very rarely attends the richest of re-
pasts. And to crown Psyche's delight,
while there was still bread and meat to
spare, We were hailed by a lusty cav"
and the jackdaw futtered down in the
very midst Of our good things.

AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE IM-
 PROVING.
Many Advances Made in Administra-
 tive and Public Field.

Many Advances Made in Administra-
 tive and Public Field
 The fourth lecture in the series on Present Day Architecture in America" was given by Professor A. D. F. Ham, lin of Columbia university in Lampson lyceum last night. The topic of the lec- ture was Administrative and Public Architecture
 Professor Hamlin showed a large number of slides of the various state capitol buildings and commented on their architectural features. The town halls, he said, were the poorest ex- amples of our public architecture, Of these the city hall in New York is g. notable exception. It is built in the style of Louis XVI, and was erected about 1872 Twenty years later the bell tower was added. The whole struc- ture owes it's conception to French architect. It is a good example of the municipal architecture in America.
 There has been a notable improve ment in the architecture of the town halls in America of recent years, said Professor Hamlin. There is no general style but their appearance on the whole is good.
 The courthouse architecture, said Professor Hamlin, should be severely dignihed. There has been a great im- provement in the government buildings because congress has authorized the supervising architect of the treasury to receive competitive designs, instead 1Il +bo iy, fho rrnU ernment office.
 With regard to playhouses Professor Hamlin said that the most successful playhouse architecturally in America was Madison Square garden, which was 1 largely the work of the late Stanford | White.
 The difficulty with the theater in America, said Professor Hamlin, was that it was hidden among other build ings. Tn France some of the theaters are endowed by the government. They occupy whole squares and have beauti- full settings.
 In the matter of railroad architec- | ture, we have been in arrears for many years, but we are now getting over thah, and we can now point to one or two of our gerat railroad stations with pride. When the Grand Central depot was built, thirty-siX years ago, it was thought to be the greatest triumph in ] railroad architecture on this side of | the Atlantic.
 The train shed in connection with it is still unsurpassed for It's symmetry anywhere in the world.
 The Centennial exposition in Phlla- I delphia was epoch making in American architecture, but there was a tremen- dous advance in the next seventeen years. It is doubtful if the court around which were clustered the prin-
 cipal buildings at the Chicago exposi-
 tton has ever been surpassed for beau tv

ARMORnn MOTOR CARS,

After the practical demonstration given during the Boer war of the utili- ty of armored trains the day of the ar mored motor car was sure to come. Some interesting tests have recently been conducted by the French war de- partment to find the practical adapta- bility for the rough needs of campaign ing of new type of such a car, It carries in the rear a revolving cupola, occupied by two men, one to manipu- late the cupola and the other the gun. The chauffeur has also an armored screen, behind which he can render himself, and his driving gear invisible. The machine weighs little over two tons, is of thirty-five horsepower, and makes twenty-seven miles an hour. It is found quite capable of ascending to all parts of Port Valerien, of using the toughest country roads and of clearing the widest and deepest ditches.-Lon- don Globe

Bone Returns to the Arena and Has
 Hearty Reception.
 Wallingford, with new goal tender from sharon, Penn, and Doherty at halfback, beat New Haven to last night. Bone played the first two peri ods in place of Curtiss, but was not his former self. The new halfback for New Haven did not show up, but will be here Friday night to play against Bridgeport. Doherty, by his great playing was the means of beating New Haven, for he goes for the ball and not the man, the way Warner of New Ha- ven does, who hangs on to his man all the time Although New Haven lost the game last night, it was hardly the fault of any of her players, but rather through a series of eircum- stances The most important occur renee was the return of Bone to the game, His appearance was the signal for burst of enthusiasm that has sel- dom before been accorded to any polo player Having been out of practice, he did not put up his usual star game, but the fans were delighted to see him back, and showed that with all his faults they love him still the same.
