at one time a member of the board
of county commissioners. He was
also known as "the father of the

owned the first one brought here and
since that time has been continuously
interested in the business, having
worn out twenty-five complete out
fits valued at many thousands OF
dollars Mr.. Graves has also oper-
ated blacksmith and machine shop
on the corner of GrGndview and
Wadsworth avenues so long that has
become landmark.
He was apparently in good health
until Thursday afternoon, when he
was stricken with congestion of the
bowels, that caused his death on Sat

held at the residence under the aus
pices of the local l. 0. o. F. of which

American politics was about to take

but stroked her hair and fondled her
face while he bit his lips until the
blood came. She was his. She had
given herself to him, and never had
life called to him as 1t did now. She
felt his arms and his shoulders harden,
she felt the stiffening of his whole
body, and suddenly he held her back
from him, and his madness found vent
in words

SHALL!" he cried. There's another
lantern on a ledge near the vent. Wait
until | find It,"
She stood alone. trembling in the
blackness, while he struck a match
and searched for the lantern. He
found it-half filled with oil. His face
was not white now. His eyes almost
frightened her. She stood near, hold
ing the light, while he went at the
rocks again. Her presence put the
strength of five men in his arms and
body, and he rolled back rock after
rock that he had not been able TO move
before. In the madness of his fight, in
the superhuman efforts he was putting
in this last struggle, time ceased TO ex-
list for him. He did not hear his watch
when it tinlIled off the hour of eight
Only each time as he turned his eyes,
he saw Isobel Rodneys golden head
shining in the dim lantern glow, her
eyes fixed upon him with a love and
faith that drove reason and Judgment
from him. But at last he came to the
end. He came to rocks that he could
not move, and as he strained until
every muscle in his body seemed to
tear themselves asunder, his breath
came in a groaning cry. The girl
came to him. Her arms were around
him again, and he sank down, broken,
bleeding, conquered.
"You can't" she whispered. strok-
ing back his hair. you can't do It,,
and-and-" The look in his eyes
frightened her again. "Philip-you
look so strange-you frighten me.

against his hot cheek. 81 want to
walk" she said. Cant we walk
back and forth?"
He placed the lantern on one OF the
rocks, and with her hand in his they
walked slowly out into the gloom.
"Yes, I've won something--the great
eat thing in the world" he said, and
there was the thrill of the old strength
and fearlessness In his voice. II
wouldn't exchange what I've won for
life-not for ten lives. It's YOU.
You're losing everything. Bat-after
all--it won't be so very bad"
She interrupted him, her fingers
clasping his more firmly.

said bravely. "There are a good many

"Why?" she asked softly.
He had taken her hands again, but
he dropped them now.
Miss Rodney, we're almost equals
here now, aren't we? I'm no longer
just a mere engineer paid a salary
that would just about buy your IA
Tiers cigars. I'm MAN. And you're
no longer a vice-presidents daughter,
a great heiress and the fiance of a

might recall his words.

wouldn't do any harm, and that |

because | loved you"
There was a silence. 1t seemed like
an eternity. And then, swiftly, in that
terrible stiffness. the light began to
fade away. 1t grew lower, flickered,
and went out.

He heard a movement. Something
groped out TO him in that stark black
ness. II was the girls hand. II

nearer. And then. suddenly her arms
were around his neck.
And that-that's just why this is
the first time in my life I'M GLAD
THAT I'M A WOMAN" she whispered.
ITS the first time I've ever known a
MAN and love him, If he is nothing
but a great big god Of O civil engi-
neer."
In the silence of that moments
thrilling Joy there sounded the low,
tinkling note OF the little bell in Phil
ip Dalton's watch. II was half past
seven. In the sound there was some
thing indescribably more significant
than the mere intonation of time. 1t
was like the first tolling stroke of q
church bell miles and miles away, soft
ened by great distance. and muffled
by the walls Of the mountain until II
came to them only in a whisper. The
girls arms tightened about Philips
neck. and he felt her shudder, as
though the note of the little bell had
touched a vibrant chord in her body,
and he drew her closer and closer in
his own arms, until he was straining
her to him with a strength which he
did not realize until a little cry Of
pain broke from her lips. He loosened
his arms, and in the darkness he
turned up her face until their lips met,
and then he heard her breath come
quickly and sobbingly, and in a mo
ment she was crying with her face
against his breast. He kissed her
again and again, and in the cayernous
stiffness Of the mountain his low
words rang with a strength and cour-
age that after a little lifted her face
from his breast, and made her take
his own face between her two hands.
I'm sorry, Philip" she said, speak
ing his name for the first time, "but

though his voice would have died in
the heart of the mountain. He rolled
and tossed back ton after ton Of rock.
His hands were torn and bleeding.
The knife-edged trap ripped the arms
OF his flannel shirt into shreds. Beads
OF water ran down his face-a sweat
OF horror more than Of exertion. He
worked-because he did not want to
face the girl, and because there always
fingers a hope-one chance in ten
thousand-eyen in the face of death
He knew there was no more than that
chance. A little later he saw thar
there was no use of continuing the
hopeless fight. Rocks which ten men
could not have moved barred his way.
He Strengthened himself. and with his
pocket handkerchief wiped the sweat
and dirt from his face. Before he had
looked at her, Miss Rodney put her
hand on his bruised and naked arm.
When he turned she held the lantern
on a level with their faces. There
was no need of words-of explana-
tions. For three-quarters of an hour
she had watched him fight in the face
OF that wall of rock and earth with a
strength which she had never before
seen in man.
You've done splendidly," she said.

"But you don't understand" he said.

hair touched his cheek as they bent
together over the timepiece. II was a
