The Young Hunter.

The Young Hunter.
"a He shock that had been felt so
plainly in the valley had been
much more severe in tho
mountains to the south, In
one place All Overhanging cliff had split
and fallen away from the face Of the
mountain. tumbling with mighty roar
into the valley below.
As it hurtled down the mountain side
the moonlight. shining upon the fresh
scar that it had left behind it upon the
hills face. revealed the mouth of
gloomy cave. from which there tum-
bled the inert figure Of an animal.

in the wake of the mass of rock that
had preceded it. the tearing away Of
which had opened up the cavern in
which it had lain.
For hundred feet perhaps the body
rolled. coming to stop upon a broad
ledge. For some time it lay perfectly
motionless. but at last feeble move

Then for another long period it was

Minutes dragged into hours, and still

low it hungry lions moaned and roared,

wilds took up their search for food.

fright Of the earthquake.
At last the stars paled, and the east

then the thing upon the ledge sat up.
1t was a man. Sdn partly dazed,
he drew his hand across his eyes and
looked about him in bewilderment:

He looked about him upon the
ground. and not finding that which he
sought, turned his eyes upward toward
the mountain until they fell upon the
cave mouth he had Just Quilted 80 pre-
cipitately. Quickly he clambered back
to the cavern, his stone Ratchet and
knife beating agaist his bare hips as

Aent, he seized her hands in his and
drew her toward him.
"Oh, Victoria" he whispered, tell
me that thing l wish to hear from your
dear lips! Tell me that even a tenth
part Of my love is returned and I
shall be happy!"
She looked up into his eyes. shining
down upon her in the moonlight. and
on her lips trembled an avowal Of the
love she honestly believed she could
at last bestow upon the man Of her
choice.
In the past few moments she had
thrashed out the question Of that other
unreal and intangible love that had
held her chained to dream for years.
and in the cold light Of twentieth cen
tury American nationality she had
found 1t possible to put her hallucina-
tons from her and find happiness in
the love of this very real and very
earnest young man.

But she got no further.
Even as the words that would have
bound her to him were forming upon
her tongue there came q low. sullen
rumbling from the bowels of the earth
the ground rose and fell beneath
them as the swell Of the sea rises and
falls.
Then there came a violent trembling
and shaking and final deafening
crash in the distance that might have
accompanied the birth Of mountain
ranges.
With a little moan Of terror the girl
drew away from Curtiss. and then
before be could restrain her. she had
turned and fed toward the bungalow.
At the veranda steps she was met
by the other members of the house
party and by the Greystokes and nu.
merous servants. who had rushed out
at the FIRST premonition of the coming
shock.
Barney Custer saw his sister running
toward the house and. knowing her
terror Of such phenomena. ran to meet
her.
Close behind her came Curtiss. just
in time to see the girl swoon in her
brothers arms.
Barney carried her to her room
where Lady Greystoke. abandoning the
youthful Jack to his black nanny
Esmeralda. ministered to her.

had resumed their various functions.
As he stood upon the threshold Of
the cave of 90, the man hunter. the
look Of bewilderment grew upon his
features az his eyes roved over the
panorama Of the unfamiliar world
which lay spread below him. There
was scarce an object to remind him

that ages had rolled by since he took

SEVENTY -YEAR-0LD MAN
 GETS ENTIRE NEW FACE

Port Angeles, Wash, Dec. IA John Watson, 70 years old, who has travelled all over the world, and who for forty-seven years could not close his eyes because he was with out eyelids, has had his face re- modelled. The new face" which is his third one, includes a perfect set of eyelids and changes his ap- pearance to such an extent that his old friends here did not recognize him when he landed for visit re- gently.
 Watson has been around the world twice and has tried the life of a pioneer in the widest parts of the North American continent, Most of his adventures took place during the forty-seven years be- tween the disfiguration of his face by an accident and the coming into the possession of a fortune he in herited some time ago. During this time he was known as "the man who couldn't close his eyes"
 At the age of 20 years, at his home in Indianola, Iowa, the ex- pIosion of a can of asphaltum var nish tore away much of the flesh of his face and destroyed his eye lids, although his sight was not in jured, With a badly disfigured face he started out in the world and blazed trails through Montana, the northwest and Alaska.
 Sleep was almost impossible for him. At first my sleep was linn ited to brief, fretful periods" he said, but as time snt on I would drop into slumber staring

IRISH VOICE SILENCED
 BY U. s. OFFICIALS

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Agents of the United States department of justice swooped down yesterday on the promoters of the Irish Voice, a pro- German weekly that ran a short and tortuous course in Chicago last summer, cOnfiscating records, by laws and circulation data.
 Local federal officers refused last night to divulge any informa- tion respecting the investigation, It was reported, however, that Washington officials had asked for a detailed report as to whether the publication was in any way identi- fled with the German propaganda headquarters in New York and whether its publishers had violat- ed the neutrality laws of this country.
 The first complaint, which led to confiscation of the records, was lodged with Washington by the Canadian government. Some time last month Canadian officials sent a formal notice to Washington say ing that the Irish Voice would not be accepted for Canadian mails. Whether the protest was accom- panied with charges against the publication could not be ascertain ed

It costs him about $900 a year because the roads are soft and because he cannot get to market when the price is highest. !" Motorists will be among those who indorse the governors words.
