Jimmy, for mean for us boys to go

And, what's more, mean to make a
clean breast of the way we treated

how we wanted you to lend us the
spades and picks belonging to the
mill. Oh, l shan't keep back thing,
even IL the truth and the whole truth
does put me in bad light"
And we're with you, Captain
Hank" cried FIVE voices, and the cave
diggers meant every word of what
they said.
That day on Jimmys return to the
mill, he found the "cave diggers" as
sembled in Mr.. Perkins private Office,
on the top floor of the mill. And from

shove by way of emphasizing his
words. Then, with loud whoop, the
boys ran to the mouth of the cave and
crawled in, one at time. But just
as the last boy was half way into the
cave Jimmy heard smothered
scream and, turning round, beheld
that the dirt was crumbling from the
mouth of the recently dug cave. He
ran back with all possible speed and
saw, to his horror. that the earth
about the little caves entrance had
fallen into the cavity, and the feet
and legs OF the last boy entering were
still protrudlng. Without a moments
delay Jimmy grabbed up a spade that
lay near and began digging for dear
life. Soon he had the boy extricated.
and when he pulled him from the
debris the poor, half-smothered fell
low could scarcely speak. so exhausted
were his lungs for want of air. "All
the breath I could get was from the
cave inside" he gasped. "But-the
other kids-I'm afraid they'll smoth-
er." We've got to get 'em out" de-
clared Jimmy. Here, get to work
with me; there's no time for fooling 4"
Then came a faint wall from the
interior of the cave, which was a
chamber of some six feet square, and
which the "cave diggers" had found
on enlarging one OF the little tunnels
running into II from the outside. But
so much dirt had crumbled into the
entrance tunnel. which was about
four feet In length and eighteen
inches In height, that Jimmy and the
rescued boy (by name, Dan Smith)
had some difficulty in reaching the
imprisoned boys. But Jimmy felt
sure that enough air entered through
the loose soil to keep the boys inside
the cave alive for some time. and
their cries for help assured him in
this supposition, for every minute he
could hear them yelling at the top
OF their voices: Were aliyel Some
body dig us out of herel Helpl

And Jimmy would call back to
them; "Be patient. Well soon show
you daylight Help is comingl" And
all the time that he encouraged them
he worked like a trooper, digging
with fury that astonished the less
vigorous Dan smith

Then, before Jimmy had chance
to say word, half a dozen boys sur
rounded him and began to torment
him by calling him ugly names, and
to strike him pretty sound blows.
Jimmy. seeing that he had only the

The Cleveland Romance Holds.

The romance of President Cleve-
lands marriage was one of the most
interesting in our Presidential his
tory, relates the Kansas City Times.
1t was the first marriage of Presi-
dent of the United States while in
Office. Mrs. Cleyeland's father had
been a law partner OF the President,
and when he died his daughter, then
a young girl, became Mr.. Cleveland's
ward. At the time OF the marriage
the President was forty-nine and HIS
bride only twenty-five. Such a dis
parity in years is ordinarily frowned
upon, but the circumstances of this
match were extraordinary.
Mrs. Cleveland became one of the
most charming mistresses the White
House has ever had. She bore her.
self with great dignity, reserve and
distinction, yet was quite as demo-
cratic as her station would Justify
her in being. Her attitude toward
her husband was at all times wholly
exemplary. She exalted him, but
without ostentation and without In
the least belittling herself. In pri.
vate life she maintained the reserve,
even the seclusion. that her distin-
guished husband sought. Through
out Mr.. Cleveland's illness, in their
common joys and sorrows. in her hus-
bands long period of suffering, and
now in her own bereavement, she has
set an admirable example of wifely
devotion. patience and dignity.

ECHOES IN MAMMOTH CAVE.
Phenomenon OF Underground River
Intensified by Low Water.

Cave City, Ky.-A startling dis
covery has just been made in Mann
moth cave. which is indisputably the
effect Of the drouth which has pre-
vailed over this section for 80 days.
In some OF the avenues where water
from 10 to Is feet stood 1t is now per-
fectly dry
The effect Is more noticeable on
Echo river than any place. That fa-
nous stream, which normally can
only be traversed for short distance
owing to the water and the roof of the
cave being so near each other, can
now be travelled for miles, and 1t IL
claimed that the echoes, grand at all
times, have been intensified thous-
ands OF times by the low water Many
OF the avenues and inlets not known
to have existed before have been dis
covered, and at the present water
stage many miles of avenues and
grottoes can be seen.
While the water IS low an effort
will be made to locate the exit Of the
Echo river, and this may result in
some wonderful discoveries.
