HOPE OF FINDING REMAINING
TWO MINERS ALIVE is
REVIVED.
CONTINUE ERESCUEWORK
THAT THE MERRICKS ARE IN Ex.
IRENE NORTH PORTION
'i3I73a 81

Denver.-The bodies Of Frank Goa
tira. Louis Zuber and Nicholas Milk
sich, all miners, were discovered
about 9 o'clock Tuesday evening lying
in II entry off southwest, in the south
west, in the south workings of the
Leyden mine about 1000 feet from
the shaft. These bodies were brought
to the surface, making eight so far re-
covered since the fire was discovered
one week ago. That Frank and Louis
Merrick, the only two missing miners,
succeeded in working their way into
the north workings, where the air is
fairly good, and will be found alive
was the opinion expressed by Mine
Foreman w. NJ. Laurie. When the
helmet crew came off shift about 10
y. m. with the news that practically
the entire south workings had been
explored with the exception of the ex-
treme end of the second southwest en-
try, hope for the Merrick boys being
alive was instantly rekindled, the
feeling being that they must have es-
capped into the north workings because
the chances were all against their 60
ing to the extreme end of the second
southwest, which is nearly a mile
from the shaft.
The fact was jubilantly recalled
that the two men, when they left l.
entry, where they were working, took
with them their dinner buckets, a
bucket of water, and the canvas cover
of their coal cutting machine. The
buckets had enough food for two
meals, for, when the Merricks en-
tered the mine they intended to work
a double shift.

In a little clearing among the pin trees
on a hillside not far from the corner Of
West Peachtree and 18th streets, form
ing a strange contrast to the modern
lawns and dwellings which have grown
up around it, nestles a tiny cabin, I'M
touched of time.
The footpath winding toward 1t leads
straight into the long ago.
Inside the open doorway sits an old
woman at her spinning wheel. Twilight
shadows are falling as she spins, and the
evening wind among the treetops MUIR
murs a whispering answer to the whir-
ring reel; the purple sunset splendor
fades from the western sky while dark
ening shadows creep in across the floor,
but still the wheel whirls, still the I'M.
broken thread winds back and forth up
on the spindle.
More than half a century long is that
slender thread, as long as a human life.
A young girl fastened it first upon the
reel and dreamed a maiden's dream as
she watched it twist and lengthen, catch
ing in its fibres the perfume of many 4
new-blown rose, the breath of many a
May. But the Maytime of the spinner's
life he's sped and the roses have been
faded many year. She is a rrav-
haired woman now; her work is almost
done; slower and slower the wheel
swings, lower and lower the reel rings
but the thread still holds.
Her fingers have lost none of their
light touch; they are still delicstely. won
derfully deft.
Does the thread never break. Aunt
Nancy?'' asked a visitor who had come
at twilight to bide an hour with the aged
dame.

told of how. the thread broke one ILL.,

when Joe, who was the youngest OF all
and a timid, wistful lad given to dream
ing with his eyes wide open, suddenly
gripped the other by the arm:
Listen, brother. listen!'
What do you hear, little brother. that
your hand is trembling so?"
II hear strange voices whispering in
the night! Hush! You can hear them
now; they are calling me, calling. call
ing 1 am afraid. Hark, brother. tell
me, can you hear them?'
II only hear the winds Of evening sigh

Hist, now you must hear 1t, brother;

"Oh, listen now my brother. and tell
me truly what you hear, for it is drawing
nearer"
Il hear the dead leaves rustling. but
nothing more
whist We now, my brother. for the
fear is come upon me-that strange, low
niurmuring caIl-it fills the air.
"Only the whirring of frightened
pheasants wings
But bark We now, my brother, you
must hear the voices, for they are calling
me away, away, and my soul is sick
with fear"
Then fear no longer. little brother, for
I see the light of our own cabin window
shining from the NH. Now I. too, hear

So arm in arm the brothers entered the
little cabin. And as they entered, the
wheel ceased whirIing. And the murmur-

Pray tell me, sister mine. what have
you spun this night. that he alone should
