CHAPTER xxi-Continued.

Dietrich left him and his now un.
conscious burden to stay where they
fell.
The engineer looked upwards. He
saw a black shadow falling-falling-
almost with the quickness of a stone
as 1t falls down the steep side of the
cliff. and in a moment more Basil
Marriott stood painting upon the deck.
Quick" said Dietrich. Quick.
Cast off. and let us go, The whole
city will be alarmed in five minutes
morel"
Not a bit of It," Basil answered.
I'VE must wait
Wait? Wait? Are you mad, sir?'
said the engineer. why should we
waltz"
For that Johnnie who is coming
down after. II we don't get him,
Heaven knows what will happen to
him!"
There was a sudden swinging of
the ladder, another black blot upon
the side of the precipico, a frightened
shout, and a heavy form fell plump
upon the deck with a force which
made the launch rock from side to
side.
Now, then, Dietrich" Basil said,
start her as quick as you can! | will
cast her on"
In a moment the ropes which held
the launch TO the iron rings in the
wall of the cliff We're unhitched. A
loud humming noise. like that of a
gigantic wasp, rang out into the night.
The freed launch swayed round, the
song of the engines rose TO a shrill
shrek, and the long black vessel was
darling like an arrow down the Rhine.
In the full current of the rivers prog
ress TO the sea.
Boom! boom! boomi" the great
bell rang out over the ancient city.
Lights began TO CLEAN everywhere
upon the heights. Guns We're fired.
There was a distant noise of voices,
but still the electric launch, dark and
unobseryed, rushed towards freedom.

Burke Look Land Over

Pierre-Congressnan Burke has
gone out into the country along White
river in southern stanley county to
learn the wishes of he people of that
section of the state in regard to the
opening to settlement of a strip of
country on Rosebud and iPne Ridge
White river. This wa asked for by
a bill introduced by Senator Gamble
at the last session of congress, and If
enacted will give the state another lot
OF new settlers. A 20 is under way
to ask for the opening of a strip OF
these same reservations along the
south line of the state, but the bill
for the strip along White river was
the first to be brought up, and will
probably have the right Of way.
