ous "Bone Cave"

An extraordinary bone cave" may
be seen In the island of TenerifYe. It
is situated near the summit of lofty
sea cliff near Orotava, close to the
small plain OF lie Paz, where peace
was finally made between the conquer
ing Spaniards and the Guanches, the
original Inhabitants of the island
Here the Guanches made their last
stand, and this cave formed q shelter
for the small remnant left Of the
tribesmen after the Spanish had fini,h
Cd with them. In former times tie
place had evidently been a burial
ground for the Guanches, and when
first discovered a number OF mummies
were found in IL; now. however, only
a huge pile OF bones remains. Access Is
obtained by descending rope through
hole dug in the roof. but the orig.
inal occupants must have had a diff
cult and dangerous scramble down the
face OF the almost perpendicular cliff
To the natural entrance Wide World.

That night the girl cried herself to

Il wonder whether his prison is worse
than mine!" she sighed.
Nearly four hours later the Pata-
gOnia collided with a French liner
In dense fog. She was struck fairly
amidships and crumpled into a help

by, and, ten minutes later, the pas
sengers were being transferred aboard
her. Ten minutes after that the chief
ofiicer was dragging the captain of
the Patagonia from his post on the
bridge, the latter furiously resisting

who, waking out of dream of i'm
possible happiness into the reality of
sorrow, had run to him, still half
asleep, her fellow prisoner In the

Wont you go back and leave me?"
the prisoner answered

could effect nothing. at the prisoners
command she passed il 10 him through
the little window. She heard the ham

had hacked loose the chain, with its
shameful ball, and began hammering
upon the timbers. In a few minutes
the stout door swung of its hinges.
They ran up on the deck together,
along slanting passages and fitting
stairs.
The ship was deserted. The moon,
flooding the sea with silver, disclosed
a moving speck in the distance-the
French liner. hurrying back to port
with it's new cargo. They were utter
ly alone. They looked at each other

WAS HER LONG-L0ST LOVER
Strange Reunion Of Pair Whom
Death Had Separated Sixty
Years Before.

A number of years ago some miners
in Wales, in exploring an old disused
pit, found the body Of a young man
dressed in a fashion long out Of date.
The peculiar action of the air Of the
mine was such as preserved the body
SO perfectly that 1t appeared asleep
rather than dead.
The miners were puzzled at the cir
cumstances. No one in the district
had been missed within their remem-
brance, and at last it was resolved to
bring the body to the Oldest inhabit-
ant-an old lady over eighty years
old, who had lived single in the vii
lage all her life.
When she was taken into the room
where the dead man lay, strange
thing occurred The old lady fell on
the corpse and kissed it, and ad-
dressed it by every term Of endear-
ment spoken in a bygone generation.
He was her only love. and she had
waited for him her long life. She knew
he had not forsaken her
The old lady and young man had
been betrothed so years before. Her
lover had disappeared mysteriously.
and she had kept her faith during the
long interval.
The miners removed the old lady TO
her house, and that night her faith
full spirit joined that of her lo1g-lost
lover.

GAVE PROOF OF HIS NERVE
Journalist In Sunny Venezuela Had Il,
and It Was a Lucky Possession
for Him.

The Trinidad papers publish a story
which tends to prove that romance
such as delights the small boy and
leads him away from home is still
found In sunny Venezuela.
Thomas Herrera, a Caracas publi-
cist. committed recently the unpardon-
able sin of writing a sarcastic pam
phlet against President Gomez OF Vene-
zuela. One night the police swooped
down on his house and extended to
him an invitation to take free out
ing on the torpedo boat Ell Rayo,
which was waiting for him at La Quay
ra.
On board the small craft Herrera
found, with very mixed feelings, the
man whose presses had printed the
pamphlet and a friend guilty Of send
ing copies Of 1t through the mails The
torpedo boat steamed toward the Of
fing and but for the thought OF posi-
BILE untoward developments the three
friends enjoyed the free excursion
keeniy. Yet the memory OF things
which had In the past befallen unde-
sirabie journalists in the course of
like outings convinced Herrera that
he had better look out for accidents
A brilliant conversationaiist, he in
gratiated himself with the oficers OF
El Rayo and quite naturally was ask
ed after the MONDAY meal to take a
hand at cards. In the course OF the
game he dropped \ card under the Ia.

stead brought to view the captains
revolver, which he had wrenched from
its holster. Three shots rang out and
captain, lieutenant and first mate roll
ed on the deck wounded Herrera's
friends overpowered the second mate
and secured all the guns The crew
was offered the choice between lead
and a quick run to Trinidad.
When Trinidad was reached every

ashore, for little did the crew care
to face court-martiai for having al

ing wind. The prisoner had dashed
two chairs together. At the last mo-
ment they were to tie themselves to
these and leap into the sea.
Her hand stole into his and his fin
gers clasped it. A fierce longing to
live surged into his soul. In that i'm
minent danger their hearts were re-
vealed, each to each.
The ship may last till dawn" he
said. IF We are saved, will you come
with me to some far off country and let
us redeem our lives together?"
He felt her answering clasp, and.
turning toward her, he took her in his
arms and kissed her. And when he
felt her lips on his he knew that they
would not be denied that chance they
sought, to live their lives anew.
The east grew light, the stars
waned; daylight spread over the wild
erness of waters. The yellow orb of
the sun uprose. Night was gone, and
their love had dawned as perfect as
that day. Then the man pointed sea-
ward and cried out.
Out of the horizon a small tramp

When she came irearer 1t could be seen
that she flew the Brazilian flag.

John Fuller, the adopted uncle of
Annie, was the element that had come
into the life of both in a tragic and
unexpected way that had upset all
their fond plans. He had gone away
on business to become one of half a
hundred Inflated victims on board of
a wrecked lake steamer. Some bodies
were recovered. His among over TWEEN

he was a passenger on the boat and

Relics of Russian Colony.

There are few relics of the Russian
occupation still to be seen at Fort
Ross. in California. The comman-
dants house still stands and parts
of the stockade can yet be seen. The
church was in fair condition until the
great earthquake OF 1906, which threw
the roof, with its quaint cupola and
belfry, to the ground. But even then
the massive timbers, fastened with
hand-wrought bolts and spikes, held
together
