Neither Jack nor Ted considered that
bot omless' pit was naturally very deep,
but the moment was too full of interest to
allow of any exceptions.
Side by side they lay on their faces, watch
ing the lantern as it was lowered, and alter
letting out eight feet, the lantern rested on
the ground below.
deep"
Jack said nothing, but hanging over the
ledge, dropped perilously near the lantern,
Come on, Ted,' he called out-"a regular
room here"
And Ted, first throwing the rope and
hatchet down, followed.
Say" cried Ted, alarmed, chow are we
to get back? I've brought the rope down
with me"
'You old stupid"
That was all Jack could say. for they had
brought the rope along to guard against Just
such accident
suggested Ted, hopefully. "Go ahead and
see."
Holding the lantern low, so that he would
not drop into any more "bottomless pits,
Jack slowly followed the turnings of the
cave.
There's speck of light yonder," said
Ted, who was looking over Jacks shoulder,
while Jack examined each step of the way
ahead.
Nearer they drew to the opening, where
the light poured in, and lighter grew the cave
until Jack put his head out, and with sud-
den cry, drew it in again.
"Ted, he exclaimed, we're in one of the
caves on the side OF the bluff, and there's the
river below us"
Sure enough, thirty feet below the opening
rolled the river, looking all the more beauti-
full in the sunlight in contrast TO their prison.
The opening was quite large, and the two
boys looked out together
"Whatn we do?" asked Ted.
"Why-why-that city fellow and Albert, -
replied Jack, they'll be down."
'If he's old enough" replied Ted, remem-
bering his last words to his sister. Lets
wait"
"That's all we can do" responded Jack,
maliciously, unless we use the rope for one
Of us to drop down in the river"
"We can do that if we are starving" re-
marked Ted, looking out. cts not very
deep, and I'll risk it any way to save our
lives"
The two boys sat in the mouth OF the cave,
kicking their heels against the bluff.
"We must look nice to anybody coming
along" said Ted, throwing a stone into the
water
"That's just it," Jack answered. There
nobody coming along. I'm almost hungry
enough to eat a pawpaw. 1 wish we had
some persimmons or fOx-grapes."
There's lots down there said Ted, insi-

hundred miles below where the bluff was
situated
1t was not much of river when com
pared with the great Father of Waters. =
only shallow stream, easily forded during
the summer months, and full of rocks and
little eddies. The bluff rose directly from
the water, and there the river was widest
1t seemed as though, through the ages
little stream had worn way right through
the hill, leaving on either side the great walls
like giants watching over the waters below
to guide them to the greater river.
Ledges of limestone rock projected, here
and there, where grew, in defiance to all
natural laws of gravitation, an occasional
tree which as a seed had been waited thither
by the wind.
Sometimes there were great dark holes in
the rock, and these the boys called the caves
of the old Indians, traces OF whom were
scattered all along the river bank IN the
shape of arrow heads and flint hatchets. But
these caves, being inaccessible, had never
been explored, and the boys imagined them
full of treasures.
When Ted and Jack, climbing the hill as
near to the edge of the bluff as safety would
permit, had found hole in the rocks, their
ioy was unbounded, and when they pushed
the bush and briers aside and discovered fur
ther that the hole was a deep one, they imme-
diately came to the conclusion that their rep
utations as adventures were made.
Running Jnelr DOdC up on tnc DduhJ lue
explorers gathered up the lantern, rope and
hatchet which they had brought along and
stepped on shore
"Wel carry back some paw-paws to that
city fellow when we 60" remarked Ted, as
they toiled up the hill. 81 suppose he never
"He'il never want to see them again, sug-
oested Jack "Horrid things!"
The boys had piled brush before the cave
to hide it from any other adventures, and to
noint out the spot to themselves when they
' TITS as black as Egypt" declared Jack,
neerinp in. "Tm glad the lanterns here"
The boys lit the lantern, and Jack crawled
in first, carrying it.
Ted followed the tiny light on his hands
and knees, wondering what his mother would
say TO his clothes when he got home.
All right" announced Jack. 81 can stand
ND now. '1t's just like the Mammoth Cave,
with stalaetites and quartz. Say, Ted" he
cried again, "here,,s pyrites. 1t must have
been an old mine"
But Ted, who could only see Jacks figure
outlined against the light, merely growled
an assent He reflected that the ten o'clock
train was Just coming in, and his conscience
STed, Ted! suddenly shouted Jack, "here's
a bottomless pit Lend me the rope, and

eating the foot of the bluff by sidelong
sweep of his hand.
Doesn't do us any good. though" mused
Jack Watch me hit that old turtle down
there"
The turtle upon rock below, never moved
as the boys showered down stones, because
they never came near it.
\, "Whoop!'' cried Ted, suddenly. "Yi, vi!
Nan, Nanw
Turning a bend in the river, boat shot
into sight and Ted recognized his sister seat
ed IN the stern.
eli, yi!" shouted Ted and Jack in chorus,
waving their hands and hats, in imminent
danger of falling out altogether. "Yi, hi,
SIS that the fellow rowing?" whispered Ted.
''It must be, but"
And Ted looked ashamed. for the ''fellow"
was weilbuilt athlete and evidently older
than either of the boys.
The boat came slowly down, and Ted's sis
ter saw with amazement the actions of the
captives, Nearer-and finally it stopped just
under the bluff.
"Mr. Blake" said Nan, "there is my broth
er Ted and his chum, Jack Barlow"
Glad to meet, | am sure" shouted the
young man, waving his hat at the pair GLOW
did you get up there"
"The entrance is around yonder," replied
Ted, and then he explained to them the diff.
Guilty; "and won't you come and hold the
rope, please, Mr.. Blake?" he added
81 say, Jack, we ought to be ashamed"
suggested Ted, in penitent tone, as they
crawled back in the cave.
That's SO" admitted Jack, rather grudg-
ingly. Look out for the drop!" he called
out, briskly, as he heard Blake coming
through the cave.
CHEEKY "Aye, aye" answered him, and
then his face looked over the ledge above
the two. "Throw the rope up here" he
said, and after much exertion on the part of
Jack he caught it.
Can you tie it to anything up there?"
called Ted
"Tie it? No; but catch hold, one of you.
Ready-now, there you are"
And Ted saw Jack hauled up by the sturdy
young man as easily, it seemed, as he would
pull up the lantern.
"Next" came the summons.
And Ted grasping the rope in jiffy found
himself by the side Of Blake, and soon after
they stood outside.
Il am certainly obliged to you for the
agreeable companion you sent to meet me-"
said the young man.
; And both Jack and Ted grew very red.
The latter could not do enough for the new
conner; he got pawpaws and grapes and per-
simmons, and then found that his sister had
brought along a lunch for them all.
ooh, Ted" remarked his slater, teasingIy,
as they separated, each in their own boat, TO
row home again. "dO you think he was old
enough to bring along?"

Sunday with us. He will arrive on the ten
o'clock train and l want you to show him
all the country for he is a city boy, and has
never been in Missouri before"
Ted heard the announcement and remained
silent He had planned that day to go down
the river about three miles and explore a
cave which he and his chum, Jack Barlow.
had discovered only week before, and, to
tell the truth, Ted was somewhat put out
about it.
81 say, jack" he said, after breakfast.
when his cronv arrived on the scene, "isn' t
it too bad? This fellow coming down will
spoil. the fun altogether l reckon he's one
of the city kind-no good in anything"
How old is he?'asked Jack.
"Don't know" growled Ted, sulkily. 'Did.
MT ask, l believe he'll be about Albert,s v age
somewhere near fourteen" Ted was on1v
seventeen), "and l think it's too mean to
give up our trip. Perhaps by next Saturday
somebody else'll find the cave, and then we'il
for we found that hatchet right near it."
i've got it, Ted, said Jack, in a decided
way he had when he wished to impress any-
thing upon Teds mind "Let Albert meet nee
the fellow-what's his name?-and if he's
old enough, he can come down with him to
the bluff. By that time wen have been ali
through the cave"
"Hooray!" cried Ted, chats it! An ele.

rope all right? Come along Say Man, Ted
called to his elder sister, as he ran out ''teil

Ted referred to the expected visitor but
he had started on run, and didn't stop to
explain his, meaning, for he knew what his
sisters reply would be.
"Ted-Ted Lewis" she called ''you must.
MT leave your company in that way. What
will father say!"
But Ted was out of sight Perhaps an
echo of his sisters words had reached his
ears, for, as he stepped into the boat he said
slowly:
'I wonder if it's right"
.r "of course" said Jack, decidedly; =,
want any stranger with us, and maybe we
won't have another chance"
The last remark was merely to relieve his
conscience. for Ted had no idea of vanishing
and it is not the fashion for caves and hills
to do So either.

BUILDING OF BRANCH
TO P|0CRE BEGUN
Report States That Mendenhall
and Deal, Contractors, Com
menced Grading Monday.

A report comes from Calieute that
Mendenhall and Deal, the contractors,
begun grading on the branch of the
Salt Lake Route from Caliente to
Phoebe Monday The commencement
of this work has been long DELAYED but
it is hoped now that it will be pushed
forward without delay.
Speaking Of the Pioche branch the
Caliente Express says:
''The grade from here to Phoebe has
quite history, In 1883 the Union
Pacific built the grade from Milford
to Calientc, and a branch to the his
torlcai mining camp of Phoebe, upon
which the rails are about TO be placed.
The failure of the Barring Brothers
shortly after that time deprived that
company of its resources, and the line
into here was abandoned In 1896 the
Utah Pacific, headed by A. W. Nc
Cune, and fostered by the Oregon Short
Line, LAID seventy-fve miles of steel to
uvada, on the line between Utah and
Nevada, thus bringing the rails that
much nearer Then Huntington took
hand and the work ceased, and the
rlght-of-way and grade were finally sold

Railroad company was organized and

that Clark had no right 10 the grade as
1t belonged TO the Oregon Short Line
and as result there followed one of
the most bitter aud hardest contested
fights ever recorded in railway annals,
For months each of the contestants
maintained a small army in the field
and several times serious trouble was
anticipated. In addition to these nm
array of legal talent was fighting for
the grade IN the courts Of Utah and Ne.

way to the Circuit Court OF tho United

HEARING AT SPOKANE
Commissioner Prouty Taking Testimony
in the Tariff Case.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 15-C. A.
Prouty, sitting as the Interstate Com
merce commission, began the third hear
ing of the Spokane rate case at the fed
eral court this morning. but up to
the time of the noon recess not an item
was introduced that would illustrate to
an outsider the justice or the injustice
Of the Spokane tariffs, the time being
occupied in continuation Of previous
hearings and the evidence dealt solely
with the cost of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railways. The til
tie of the case is the City of Spokane
VS., the Southern Pacific, therefore the
Hill line is most prominent in the pro-
ceedings, regardless of the fact that the
same tariffs are in effect over the Har-
riman system
The first of the witnesses called was
f, j. Pearson, chief engineer of the
coast extension Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul, i'll charge of con.
structlon west of Butte. In answer to
questions from Mr.. Donnelly, Mr. Pear
