of dust had been disturbed, and after those
wants had been supplied they looked around
the encampment.
.. Everything was exactly as they had left
1T when they started out, fearing that they
should find only Bart's lifeless body. The
burros were still feeding quietly where they
had been tethered. The sluice-boxes were
undisturbed, and the prospecting holes still
marked out the course of the new paystreak.
Had it not been for the nuggets Kirk had
in his belt, the boys would have looked upon
this rich little placer with regret at the
thought that soon a mining camp would grow
up in the beautiful ravine and that the flow
er-covered sward would quickly be destroyed
in the feverish excitement of the search for
gold.
Bart's first care on reaching the encamp-
ment had been to scrutinize every portion of
the plain from the shelter of the trees, and
he. had reported that there was no ono in
sight.
We've outwitted them handsomely" he
said, in triumph, as he returned, "and it's
time for us to settle just what we shall do,
for the way things are fixed now, there's no
chance of our being able to work this little
mine along many days, and, besides, it's of
the greatest Importance that we should make
things secure on the other"
"You know what ought to be done better
than we do" said Kirk, trying hard to pre-.
vent himself from going to sleep while the

Bart had good reason to feel certain that
the miners would come over the mountains
as soon as it was made known that rich de-
posits of gold had been found, and he also
knew that while he invited the miners as
protection against Tom and his friends, he
might be inviting prospectors who would STUN
BILE upon Kinks mine.
These were the two evils he was obliged
to choose between, and he believed he had
taken the least by going to Silver Cliff.
After he had staked off three ffteen-hun.
dred-foo claims, which he knew would hold
good until such time as the services of
surveyor could be procured to locate them
properly, he made his very simple prepara-
tions for the tedious journey he was about
to undertake.
The golddust was dug from its hiding place
in the ground, in order that Bart might de-
posit it with the bankers, as well as have
proof of the stories he would relate about the
richness of the new discovery. Kirk wrote
letter telling his father of the mine he had
found, and asked him to come over at once,
if possible; but he refrained from speaking
of the danger they had been, and still were,
in from the road-agents.
A small package of provisions was made
up, and, having secured on his back one OF

decided in your mind what should be done;
80 let's hear your IDEAS"
"Wel, haven't been able to think of but
one plan that we've got any show OF carrying
through, and that is for me to start at once
for Silver Cliff"
''You start for Silver Gift" cried both the
boys, all desire for sleep banished by these
words
'T can go there and back quicker than one
of you could go. halfway. Even though we've
now got Kinks mine to fall back on, we
leave it, why then it would be abandoned.

before l shall be back; but if you two think
you can go there, all right. Pll stay here"
1t would be much more pleasant to go to
the mining camp, and come back with a
large escort, than to remain in the ravine,
fearing an attack from the road-agents; but
the boys knew only too well that it would
be almost impossible for them to find their
way over the blind pass to, Silver Cliff.

if he was answering his own desires, 1--WE can't

"It'll be the safest plan, for can get there
and back before those fellows down the valley
have made up their minds which way we have

then I'll start"
"But you won't go until morning, for tired
as you were when you got here, you need
some rest" said Dory.
II shall start just as soon as can get
away" was the guides emphatic reply.
And then he proceeded TO stake out the
claims, in order that the boys would be able
to hold them when the rush from Silver Gin
should begin.

AS Bart said this, he had approached the
outer edge of the trees, where he could see
far up the valley. Hardly mile away, WAX,
ing slowly along the plain, as If trying 70 nnd
the trail that they had lost when " en'ereu
the woods, were the road agent and MS lwo
companions The guide stood for morneh.'
As if undecided what to do, and then n' muV-
tered, half to himself: ., :,
'It's a mighty risky thing to do, with the
bows as near tired out as they are, but any
thing is better than letting them stumble on
the find"
Then, his mind made up as to the course ne
should pursue. he seized Kinks rifle, stepncd
out from the shadew Of the trees IN tull view
OF the approaching men, and discharged tne
weSpon.
"Come on!" he cried, as he darted back to
where the boys were standing, speechi"ss
with astonishment at this apparent bravado
of their guide. "Come on! We've got to
make the best time we can now.
But you've shown them exactly where we
are, when all we would have had to do was to
keep out of sight," said Kirk, reproachfu''y.
II know / did, and it. was just what
wanted to do. Now we will leave trail
enough so they can follow us two or three
miles, and the mine is saved"
And Bart urged the boys along as he spoke,
taking good care to leave his footprints
wherever it was possible.
"The mine may be saved, but it looks to
me as if we were lost" said Kirk, an Tily;
for he did not think the necessity Of keeping
secret his discovery was great enough to war
rant the rash measure Bart had taken.
foolishly, it was absolutely necessary that they
should exert themselves to the utmost to

not carry his own weIl-tried weapon, which,
of course, had been taken when Tom had
made him prisoner four days previous.
After all this had been done, he set out,
walking as briskly as if he had performed no
labor for week. He went down the ravine
nearly to the plain, and then struck into the
woods at the right. waving his hand as he
disappeared among the trees.
Kirk, and Dory were alone again; but this
when Bart had left them before, and both
fully appreciated the gravity of their situa-
tion. But Kirk. knowing how essential il
was that they should not get despondent,
said, with an evident attempt at cheerful
ness:
"Come, Dory, we're no kind of gold-hunt.

thought only of trying to encourage the boys
in their efforts to escape, and to this end
he repeated the assurance that they should
soon have the water they so sorely needed
''Keep on, boys!" he cried. Don't give
out now, for our very lives depend on our
being ahead of those rascals. 1t won't be
long before we shall have plenty of water,
and then Wen get on to the divide, where
we can keep the villains at their proper dis
tance."
In this way Bart urged the boys forward
until they came to the stream he had spoken
of, and at once slaked their thirst, although
Bart would not allow them to drink as much
as they wanted.
"We'n fill the canteens," he said, "and then
follow the brook among the mountains, where
there's no question but that we can give our
friends the slip. Walk right in the stream
and then it'll be some time before they can
settle it in their minds whether we've gone
up or down."
The boys, refreshed by the water they had
drank, and by the knowledge that they could
get more when they wanted it, pushed for.
ward with renewed vigor, and by night-fall
they were high up on the mountain side, hay
ing left far behind the stream whose course
they had followed.
Among these mountains, the greater Dor.
tion of which seemed to serve but as places
of deposit for boulders, it was by no means
safely spend the night, and, sheltered By
the overhangng rocks, they slept as only
tired people can sleep, not awakening until
the sun was shining over the hills.
Breakfast was hurriedly, eaten, and then
they turned their faces toward the placer
mines, but with the intention of continuing
their Journey among the mountains, where
it would be very difficult for the men to fol-
low their trail, as they walked only over the
solid rcck.
The petulance which Kirk displayed when
he thought Bart had foolshly betrayed their
whereabouts to the enemy was all he had in
dulged in. Having been somewhat rested by

whatever Bart was doing was for their safe
ty, and he, followed without murmur.
provisions were exhausted, and they were
forced to endure both hunger and thirst
from that time until, at noon of the follow
ing day, Bart suddenly struck off to the
left, and they were in the old ravine, which
they had thought SO far away.
Water and food were the first things
thought of, even before they evinced the
slightest desire to know whether their store

CASE Is HEARD
ON EXCEPTIONS

fendant on Aug q 1902. in Pawtuck-
ct. The conductor stopped the car
to watch ball game. This car was
stopped in a position directly behind the
catcher and about 30 feet from the homo
plate. Plaintiff while the car was stopped
was nit in the head and badly injured
by batted ball.
/ A Jury awarded plainfin $g7yo. $3.50
The jury in this case neglected a num-
her OF special findings and the justice IN
the superior court who presided a. the
trial accepted the general verdict. De-
ferdant says this was not a sufficient
verdict and only partial verdict and this
is one OF a number of grounds for re-
versal of the verdict asked by the defend
ant.
Al the trial the justice presiding re-
fused to let testimony be introduced to
prove insanity I'm the plaintiffs family
by evidence that a relative now livirg
made an attempt at suicide. Plaintiff had
been suffering four gears when the trial
was had.
Defendant claims that because the jury
failed to answer these questions thero
was no legal verdict: % Did the plaintiff
suffer any Injury to the skull by reason
of the accident as alleged, for which she
is now suffering? (2) Did the accident as
alleged result in any pressure upon the
plaintiffs brainr CD II the plaintiff suf-
fered from a pressure upon the brain,
was such pressure at the point where
she claims TO have been struck ut the
time OF the accident? With these special
findings the jury returned the following
statement And the jury say they ate
unable to answer the special findings"
Counsel for plaintiff in his argument to
the court today pronounced these ques-
tions tricky ones Counsel for defendant
argues that the failure OF the Jury to re-
spond to these special findings nullifies
their attempt to render a general verdict
and the judge in the superior court should
have set IL aside
Defendant says that no negligence was
shown on the part Of the company and
that the damages were grossly excessive.

WITNESSES TELL
OF THE MURDER
OF LUIGI TEDUCCI

at 16 Atwelis avenue, testified he had
just left his home 10 go down street Sat
urday. Dec. 1. when he saw two men
clinched and both fell 10 the ground. He
heard shot fired. saw one OF the men
get up and run down Aborn street. Wit
ness followed the running man, who ran
into a lane. Witness went into the po-
lice station and gave the alarm.
Mr. Smith denied that he told the cor
oner that one man fell and the other did
not. He heard the report. saw the smoke
but did not see the revolver. Al the time
he heard the report witness was 20 to'S0
feet away from the men.
Frank c.. Mathewson testified that on
Saturday morning as he was going down
Broadway his attention was attracted by
a shot and soon after he saw the man
put his hand in his overcoat pocket Wit
ness followed the man and later saw him
throw the revolyer into the sewer.
Mrs. August Tyndberg was on the same
morning going down street 10 do some
shopping. She saw two men disputing
and one of them, the elder man, strike
the other with a stick several times
Both had stopped disputing as she was
walking past, though she did notice the
elder man was shaking his fist.
few seconds later she heard the shot
and turned around TO see what had hap
pened. Mrs. Lyndberg's testimony was
looked upon as very favorable 10 the
defense as the prisoner is OF very slight
built and does not look like one who
could stand much OF beating.

LOhGsHOREMEN's
STRIKE SHOWS NO
SIGN OF BREAK

New York. May 15.-Both the represen-
tatives OF the Transatlantic steamship
companies and the striking longshoremen
maintain firm position in their respec-
tive stands today, so that the great dock
strike seems no nearer settlement than
II did week ago. The steamship men de-
clare they are moving ships and such
freight as must be speedily handled with
the aid OF the non-union men they have
secured. and that the longshoremen will
soon tire OF the strike and return 10
work.
The strikers, on the other hand. say
there Is no wavering I'm their ranks. that
tho men are more determined than ever
and that they will not return TO work
until they secure the Increase in wages
they have demanded.
All attempts at arbitration have so far
proved unavailing
The strikers say they have secured an
important victory In Jersey City. The
Italian line. which docks there, they de-
clare, has taken back $50 men at the ads
vanced wages demanded, in order TO dis
charge two large ships loaded with per-
ishable fruit. The leaders claim this is
an indication that the companies are
weakening. and they are tubilant over
the development.
A tour OF the steamship piers early to-
day showed that there was no relief IN
the freight congestion.
