Going to the edge of the stream and

bulb to run the risk of being smashed
against the iron bars of the passage,
but the little globe negotiated the rap

CHAPTER XIX.

N very short time Drummond
became as expert at the rock
dissolving as was his friend.
He called it pifiing slow work,
but was nevertheless extremely indus
trious at it, although days and weeks
and, as they suspected, months passed
before the hands of the two friends
met in the center of the rock. One
lucky circumstance that favored them
was the habit of the jailer in visiting
Drummond only once every four days.
The lieutenant made his difficult pas
sage, squeezing through the newly com
pleted tunnel half an hour after loaf
had been set upon his table. Jack
knew that the steamer had recently
departed, because two days before the
governor had sent for him and had ex-
hibited quantity of material recently
landed, among other things number
of electric bells and telephones which
the governor was going to have set
up between himself and the officers
and also between his room and that Of
the clerk and jailer. There were dry
batteries and primary batteries and
many odds and ends, which made Jack
almost sorry he was leaving the place.
Heavy steps, muf1ed by the thick
ness of the door, sounded along the
outer passage.
Ready" whispered Jack. Here
they come. Remember, if you miss
your first blow we're goners, you
and To
Drummond made no reply, for the
steps had come perilously near, and he
feared to be heard. Noiselessly he
crossed the cell and took up his posi-
ton against the wall, just clear Of the
space that would be covered by the
opening of the door.
At the same moment Jack switched
off the light, leaving the room black.
Each of the two waiting prisoners
could hear the others short. breathing
through the darkness.
On came the shutting footsteps of
the jailer and lantern bearer. They
had reached the door of No. l, had
paused, had passed on and stopped in
front of No. 2.
"Your cell!D whispered Jack, panic
stricken. ''And they weren't due to
look in on you for four days. It's all
up! They'll discover the cell is empty
and give the Where are you going,
mani" he broke off as Drummond,
leaving his place near the door, CROPPED
his way hurriedly along the wall.

fight for it. It's better than
"Wait!''
Lamont's hand was on his shoulder,
and he whispered a sharp command
for silence. The two attendants had
halted in front of No. 2, and while the
lantern bearer fumbled with the awk-
ward bolt his companion was saying:
Hold on! After all, I'll bring the
other his food first, I think"
"But, demonstrated the lantern bear
er, "the governor said we were to
bring the Englishman to him at once
What if he did? How win be know
we stole half minute to give the
prince his dinner? If we bring the
Englishman upstairs first, the prince

can get back with the EngHshman.'

brought intelligence to the jailer. The
door changed shut. and there followed
a dead silence.
"Now we ought to hear some good
old British oaths.' said Jack to him
self, but the silence continued.
''Hello, Alan" cried Jack through
the bars. Il said you would be nabbed
if you didn't leave st. Petersburg.
You'll pay attention to me next time I
warn you"
There was no reply, and Jack be-
came alarmed at the continued still
ness Then he heard his friend NUT
ter:
ssI'll be seeing visions by and by. /
thought my brain was stronger than it
is-could have sworn that was Jacks
voice"
Jack got speedily and quietly down,
turned on the switch and hoped upon
the table again, peering through. He
knew that the stream had now become
a river of fire and that it was sending
to the ceiling an unholy, unearthly
glow
ooh, damn it ALL" groaned Drum
mond, at which Jack roared with
laughter.
'sAlan," he shouted, Fish out that
electric bulb from the creek and hold
It aloft. Then you'll see where you
are. I'm in the next cell-Jack La
mont, electrician and coppersmith; all
orders promptly attended to; best of
references and prices satisfactory"
"Jack, is that really you or have

'sDo you mean to say that bnly these
four men are in charge of the prison Z"
practically so, but there Is the gar
rison as well. The soldiers live in a
suit of rooms directly above us, and
as near as can form an opinion there
are fourteen men and two officers.
When a steamer arrives, they draft as
many soldiers as are necessary, un-
load the boat, and then the Tommies go
upstairs again. The military section
apparently holds little intercourse with
the officials, whom they look upon as
jailers. | should judge that the milf
tary officer is chief of the rock because
when he found the governors room lit
by electricity he demanded the same
for his quarters. That's how / came
to get upstairs. Now. these stairs are
hewn in the rock, are circular, guarded
by heavy oaken doors top and bottom,
and these doors possess steel bolts on
both sides of them 1t is thus possible
for either the military authorities up
stairs or the civil authorities to Isolate
themselves from the others. In case
Of revolt among the soldiers the gov
ernor could bolt them into their attic,
and they would find great difficulty In
getting out Now, my plan Of pro-
cedure is this: We will disarm jailer
and assistant, take their keys. outside
garments and caps. The jailer's toy
gerry will fit you, and the other fellows
may do for me. Then we will lock
them in here, and if we meet clerk or
governor in the passages we will have
time to overcome either or both before
they are aware of the change. I'll go
up the circular stair. bolt from the in
side the upper door and afterward bolt
the lower door. Then we open all the
cells and release the other prisoners.
descend from the rock, get into the
Finnish fishing boat, keep clear of the
two cannon that are up above US and
sail for the Swedish coast. We can't
miss it. We have only to travel west
and ultimately we are safe. There Is
only one danger, which is that we may
make our attempt when the steamer is
here, but we must chance that"
isn't there any way of finding out?
Couldn't you pump the GOVERNOR
HE is always very much on his
guard and is taciturn man. The mo-
ment the tunnel is finished shall
question about some further electrical
material, and then perhaps / may get
hint about the steamer. I imagine
she comes irregularly, SO the only safe
plan would be for us to make our at
tempt just after she had departed"
''Would there be any chance Of our
finding number of the military down
stairs?'
81 don't think So Now that they
have their electric light they spend
their time playing cards and drinking
vodka
'very well, Jack; that scheme seems
reasonably feasible. Now get through
your material to me and issue your in
structions.'

Horses and Mules.


Never allow the foal to follow the
mare when working, but keep it in a
we'll built roomy box.
Never expect the foal to eat with' the
mare, but always provide small box in
the opposite corner to feed the foal in.
Accustom the colt to being handled
by having halter on and occasionally
taking hold of it when feeding the
mare.
Never wean the foal too quickly but
by degrees. 1t is best for both the mare
and'foa to take two or three weeks to
do it. Feed foa often. both during the
time of and after weaving
Never allow two foals to feed out of
the same box. One is sure sooner or
later to become master and secure the
lions share.
Always be careful to give the""marcs
plenty of exercise in the late fall and
winter after the work on the farm is
done.
If the mare is to foal early, before grass
time, give her u few bold oats, and a
liberal supply of bran with little flax
seed occasionally. If she is getting
plenty Of grass, nothing of this kind will
be needed.

Editor Republican: have your letter
inviting me to express my views on the
forest reserves, for publication IN the
Stock Edition, and want to thank YOU
this courtesy. 1t is different from the
attitude of the men representing the
Bureau of Forestry: they come along
and ask us what we want and the same
breath dictate what we can have If we
can get a permit. 1t goes very much
against the grain to have "A lot of fellows,
foreign to this state come along and tell
the old timers and native sons what We
may do with the resources of the coun
try which we have used and protected
and regard as our own.

not the cattle men. In the first place,
there is no real forest: mere shoestrng
