That was all.
There was point on the rim of
the little lake where its dark, deep wa
ters were confined by mighty wall Of
rock 1t spanned chasm hundred
feet wide, and from its top one looked
down into a ravine that lost itself in
darkness, and at the bottom Of which
two Of the slopes Of Eel Tres Diablo3
came together and found a common
base.
For weeks huge drill had been bcr-
Ing its way down through that wall Of
rock to the level Of the bottom Of the
lake. Two days after the drill had
been finally withdrawn the poems were
directed to gather up the mules and
drive them into the corral at the camp,
and to remain there until further or
ders. When all had reached the camp,
Harry, with pale face and set features
with Frank at his side, uncovered an
electric battery and pressed a button.
A terrific explosion followed. A column
Of fire and smoke shot toward the zen
18th. A sound like crash Of many
thunders rent the shuddering air.
The mountains rocked and trembled
as though smitten by a mighty cata-
clysm. Wild beasts forsook their cav
erns and ran aimlessly through the
brakes and jungles. The poems and the
mules In the corral staggered and trem-
bled with fear. The old Indian wom
an turned her face to the sun and
threw herself upon the earth with alb
ject terror. Harry hastened to her
side, and, raising her up tenderly,
said: at is all over. There is no
danger; come with me and see the cat

The following morning disclosed AL
empty basin where the water had been,
and now 1t Is known among the In
dams as "the place Of the lake Of

In addition to clearing the lake Of

rHE OLD GATE MADE OF PICKrrs

There was moonlight In the garden and
the chirr and dhirp of crickets;
There was scent of pink and peony and
deep syringa thickets,
When a-down the pathway whitley,
Where the fireAy glimmered brightly,
She came stepping, oh, 80 lightly
To the old gate made Of pickets
There were dew and musk and murmur,
and voice that hummed low
snatches
OF a song, while there she hurried
through the moonlight's silvery
patches,
To the rose-grown gate above her
And her softly singing lover,
With its blossom-tanged cover
And its weight and wooden latches.
Whom she met there, whom she kissed
there, mid the moonlight and the
roses,
With his arms who there enclosed her, as
a tiger lily closes
Some white moth that frailly settles
On its gold and crimson petals,
Where the garden runs to nettles-
No one knows now or supposes.
Years have passed since that last meet
ing loves have come and loves
departed.
Still the garden blooms unchanging, there
is nothing broken-hearted
In its beauty, where the hours
Lounge with sun and moon and show
ers
Mid the perfume and the flowers,
As in days when these two parted.
Yet the garden and the flowers and the
cheerily chirping crickets
And the moonlight and the fragrance, and
the wind that waves the thickets-
They remember what was spoken,
And the rose that was a token,
And the gentle heart there broken
BY the old gate made of pickets.
Smart Set.

daybreak the rescued passengers were
resting in elegant apartments in the

The passengers consisted of woman
and two men, one of whom was a cler-
