believe that was turned aside by fear
from the adoption of the more daring
and perilous course. I have to observe,
however, that from this day forward a
certain lassitude, inertness and lack of
spirit grew upon me, mainly caused by
my low diet, but noticeably beginning
to appear on this particular day, owing
to the complete and final Illustration Of
all the high and joyful hopes which l
had SO long entertained in connection
with the seals tunnel. There, within
few yards of me, lay the gate and en-
trance of road leading to light, liber-
ty, home and happiness, yet could not
traverse it, SO charged was it all with
salt water. My poor seals went there
freely out and in half dozen times
day, but I could not, though indeed
tried and did my best. While Charley's
brown bread came down to me was
strong. When that failed and had
nothing but fish to eat, slowly, day by
day, grew weak. did not feel despond-
ency so much as certain lassitude and
tendency to do nothing but ruminate
and half sleep, SO that sometimes even
the task of feeding my fire seemed to
require great effort of will before it
could be effected.

naiiv TINS apathy or weakness, or both,
grew SO upon me that l almost ceased
to have even the desire of escaping and
longed inexpressibly to fall fast asleep
and forget everything, which neverthe-
less / was unable to do. When l first
became seriously conscious of my fail
ing strength and knew or guessed the
cause, thought Of killing seal, not
one of my pets and friends, but the next
strange seal which might show itself.
But when the next appeared was too
inert to set about the undertaking, nor
indeed did l know how to set about it,
for the creature was very shy. Curious
ly enough, though, 1 now ate very little.
l did not feel hunger. In fact, I was
dying by inches. All my vital powers,
bodily and mental, seemed as if slowly
and painlessly fading away. This le-
thargic habit began to Cypress me seri-
ously in the beginning Of October and
continued into the month of November.

cavern and moving toward the entrance.
The outline of his form was perfectly
distinct, the colors and the lines within
the form were blurred and dim. So farl
as could judge, in the nervous condi-l
ton which was thrown into by the'
temperance of the phantom, the figure
wore mantle and kilt reaching to
the knees, the legs being otherwise bare.
In horrible condition of alarm, but
still exercising over myself certain
self control, awaited its return. After
what seemed to be the usual lapse of
time it repassed along tho illuminated
wall Of rock and as silently as before.
On this occasion either the outlines and
colors were more clear and visual or
the fact that was not now taken by
surprise enabled me to observe the phe-
nomenon with less agitation and alarm.
This man, if man it was, wore his hair
long; wore also beard. His mantle
was red, and on his breast saw some
thing glitterinR.

CHAPTER xxi.
FAILED FOR THE PRESENT.

Next day, for, az think I have re-
marked, I observed the seasons of day
and night, I made another and more de-
termined exploration of the seals tun-
mel. I got into my first blowhole with
out difficulty, though at the cost of a
bad cut on my right ankle, which panied
me a good deal and which no doubt
bled profusely. Arrived here, l felt
about for the ledge on which I had stood
the day before. The tide was higher
now and the ledge covered with water,
so I clambered to it with greater ease.
I first made fast my clew and the stick
on which it was wound to projection
of the rock, and afterward moving along
the ledge felt about in the dark with
my hands. The tide was not yet at its
lowest, nor would it be for some time,
and Of course my efforts to thread the
continuation of the tunnel would be best
undertaken with the water at its lowest
ebb for the reasons that have already
mentioned. In the meantime desired
to explore the cave as we'll as I could.
It was just possible that the continual
ton Of the tunnel might be at this point
overland or rather overlook. At all
events determined to utilize the time
at my disposal by cropping about the
cave. Presently found my right hand
going round q corner of rock, and stretch
ing it out and away from my body, but
still in a forward direction, found moth
ing there but empty space. Scrambling
into this empty space, was soon salts
fed that I was either in the continuation

which he escaped from his tomb by
following the course taken by an ami
NAL along winding passage into the
open air, and of the similar adventure
Of Aristomenes, the Messenian, who es-
capped in similar manner, save for the
fact that Aristomenes held his guiding
ANIMAL fox-hard by tho tail.
But for the water would have made
my escape, too, as we'll as they, and Sind
bad and the brave Messenian would I'M
der my circumstances have been just as
much at stand as was.
Now, l knew from experience that
could dive go yards with ease in clear
water. Consequently, diving at my full
rate of speed, would have to take breath
at least twice before reaching the sea.
But then diving through a submarine
tunnel, with the expectation Of striking
against rock with every forward drive,
was obviously very different thing
from under water swimming in the I'M
INSTRUCTED sea. Moreover, in my tran
sit through this tunnel, I could not ex-
pect to see anything, owing to the alb
yence of light, and therefore should be
obliged, as it were, to grope my way
painfully along. 1t might be imagined
that all these considerations would at
once and altogether remove from my
mind the thought that might make
my escape through the seals tunnel.
But they did not. Iargued that the fact
that the tunnel was quite flooded at its
entrance did not prove that it would be
flooded all the way through. Possibly,
said, the tunnel is only submarine at
the two ends, and that throughout it's
whole intervening extent may be able
to swim joyfully forward with an arch
ed roof of rock above my head. I knew
that the outer entrance of the tunnel was
submarine. was very we'll acquainted
with the face of the cliff outside along
the seas edge and knew that there was
no cave or fssure resembling cave any
where visible even at low water along
this wall of cliff. Even if the tunnel
through most Of its extent were flooded,
it might we'll be that at certain points
here and there it was not flooded, and
that might be able here and there to
come to the surface and breathe and find
myself swimming in cave. With few
airholes of this description might sue
coed in getting through, provided they
occurred at convenient intervals.
It was the 4th day Of August when !
first attempted the tunnel. I took my
fishing line, and fastening one end of it
securely to pointed projection of rock
wound up the rest upon piece of tim
Der. This. of course, was to serve as
clew. In the event Of failure desired
to have some surer method than that of
mere feeling and cropping to guide me

swim straight out into the open sea and
20 to Dhu-Corrig, or better, to the
shady COOS where Mr.. Watkins kept his
boat and where there was nice strand
and easy landing place. Among my
many disappointments, I think there
was none which affected me like that.
At one moment I saw q door of escape
lying open before me, black indeed,
but the entrance of a tunnel plainly
In communication with the sea. The
next, in q manner quite unexpect-
ed, found that door barred-bar-
red with water. And yet by no means
gave up all hope Of eventually making
my escape by this avenue, for was q
good swimmer and diver, though knew
we'll that man who would make his
way under water from the point where
! now was to the open sea would per-
haps require three or four breaths in
the course Of his submarine journey.
The source of this my second spring of
hope in connection with the seals tun-
mel will presently appear. The venture,
however, upon which had my resolu-
ton fixed postponed executing till l
should have quite tanned my seals.
First, then, I measured very carefully
the distance from Curry's Window to
the seals pool. The cavern, it may be
remembered, first trended straight in
ward and then described curve to the
left, sloping downward steadily and at
times even sharply the whole way. This
curve, continuing, became recurve in
the neighborhood of the pool, so that
this part of the cavern was nearer to
the outer sea by some 80 yards than
that portion of the curve which was
farthest inland and away from the sea.
The calculation was not easy, but here
for the first and last time in my life l
found my college trigonometry of some
practical value to me. My object, of
course, was to discover the distance
from the mouth of the tunnel at the
seals pool to the other mouth, by which
1t communicated with the sea. AS the
face Of the sea cliff was nearly if not
quite vertical, my problem was not COM
pllcated by the introduction of an ex-
ternal element. I merely added few
yards at guess to represent the very
slight departure from perpendicularity
Of the face of the cliff below Curry's
Window. Eventually concluded that
the tunnel On the assumption that it
would run straight was about 40 yards
long, and I still believe that this ap-
Proclamation was tolerably correct.

Nobody in the town knew of Ben
nett's record, except Home. Gradual
ly the boys step grew lighter, his
complexion clearer. He was the best
worker Home had ever had. 1t was
evident that he had been sincere in
his expressed intentions. Home
ceased to think of his past kept as
youthful folly. He made him manager
of his diary a year later. Bennett
went to night school Everybody
spoke well of him.
What turned Homes thoughts
along very serious lines was the evil
dent attachment that was springing
up between Bennett and Minnie. The
two would saunter along the lanes,
arm in arm, after the days work was
done. At first Home thought little of
it. It was not until he saw, in the
darkness, a black sleeVeline against
the white of his daughters waist that
ne realized she would some day leave
him.
He fought it all out alone and came
to his conclusion.
"He's slipped, he said. "WeH-so
have many of us. I shall feel salts
fed. He's a fine young fellow, and
If Minnie loves him"
He was expecting Bennett to come
to him. But instead of that he came
home to find Minnie in tears and Ben
nett gone. A letter was lying on the

Suspicion had never directed itself to
him, but that was the real reason why
he had left New York. He had tried
hard during these two years to put it
out of his mind, but now that he loved
Minnie he was going back to take his
punishment and asked the INTO for
get him.
Home whistIed and took his daugh-
ter in his arms. '"The fellow was a
scoundrel," he said.
''No, father" she answered. 81 love
him. He is a good man"
Home said no more, but the days
that followed were sad ones. To Ben
nett, waiting in his cell, they were as
purgatory. He knew that the. crime
belonged to a past period of his life,
that it was the result of boyish mis-
judgment. He had thought all men
were crooks; his stay with Home had
brought him face to face with reality.
Now he was a man in mind. But the
punishment for the past awaited him.
He hardly disCeTned the faces in the
courtroom. He stood patiently before
the Judge. How much would he get?
Five years? Seven to twelve years?
He could hardly expect mercy; the
crime had been planned in the re-
formatory. And Bennett had refused
to dfvulge the name of his confed-
crate.
The counsel for the state was
speaking. The name Of the Other-n1an
was known, he said. He was asking
the Judge for clemency on the ground
that Bennett had lived a decent life
since then. Somebody else would
speak for him.
Wonderingly Bennett saw Home
standing before him, speaking to the
Judge. He told him of his life in the
village and how he had voluntarily
come in to the city to surrender him
self because the past preyed on his
conscience. He was asking for sus-
