Starting as q grand opera singer,

Mr.. DIPPED is now producer OF light
operas. Only three years ago Herr
Dippel was In charge OF the Chicago
Grand Opera Company. Then he de-
cided to go into the grand opera field
on his own account. But the owners
and hackers OF the company knew only
too we'll how dangerous a competitor
he would be, and handed him a rather
big purse in order to keep him "hors
de concours" for at least few years.
DIPPED signed the contract which barred
him from his beloved grand opera. and
smiling. pocketed the purse. Then he
went abroad. and enjoyed the first rest
, since he set his foot on American soil
but only few months later he was
back again. as full OF ambition and

When l finished my last letter I stat

from an enormous line of ruddy cliffs
which encircled, beyond all doubt, the

init showed every sign of a luxuriant
vegetation, with bushes near the edge
and farther back many high trees.
There was no indication OF any life
that we could see.
That night we pitched our camp i'm
mediately under the clifr-a most wild
and desolate spot The crags above
us were bot merely perpendicular. but
curved outward at the top, so that as
e n was out Of the question.
In the morning. after n frugal break
fast of coffee and manioc-we had to
be economical of our stores-we held a
council of war as to the best method
OF ascending to the plateau above rs.
Challenger presided with n solemnity
as II he were the lord chief Justice on
the bench. Picture him seated upon a
rock, his absurd boyish straw hat tilt

cilious eyes dominating Us from under
his drooring lids. his great black beard

when a huge rock rolled suddenly
downward and shot past us with ire
mendous force. 1t was the narrowest
escape for one or all of us. We could
not ourselves see whence the rock had
come, but our half breed servants, who
were still at the opening of the i've
said that 1t had flown past them and
must therefore have fallen from the
summit. Looking upward, we could
see no sign OF movement above us
amid the green jungle which topped
the elf. There could be little doubt,
however, that the stone was aimed at
US, so the incident surely pointed to
humanity-and malevolent humanity
upon the plateau.
We withdrew hurriedly from the
chasm, our minds fun of this new de-

enough before: but. IL the distractions
of nature were increased by the de-
liberate opposition of man. then our
case was indeed a hopeless one. And
yet as we looked up at that beautiful

of returning TO London until we had

height, had already begun to trend
from west to north, and If we could
take this as representing the arc of a
circle the whole circumference could
not be very great. At the worst. then,
we should be back in a few days at

We made a march that day which
totaled some two and twenty miles
without any change in our prospects.

There seems to be only one reason

lee. III you have explored the east
we should travel along the base of the
cliff TO the west and see for a prac-
ticable point for our ascent"
That's IT," said Lord John. The
odds are that this plateau is Of great
size, and We shall travel round it until
we either find an easy way up 1t or
come back to the point from which
we started"
The ground at the foot of the cliff
was rocky and broken, SO that the 60
ing was slow and difficult. Suddenly
we came. however. upon something
which eheered our hearts. Ii was the
site OF an old eneampment, with sew
eral empty Chicago meat tins. a bottle
labeled Brandy" a broken tin opener
and a quantity of other ira velers' de-
bris. A crumpled, disintegrated news
paper revealed itself as the Chicago
Democrat. though the date had been
obliterated.

Lord John had been gazing c%uriously
1T a great tree fern which overshad-
owed the encampment. Il say. look at
for a signpost."
A slip of hardwood had been nailed
TO the tree In such a way "a to point
to the westward.
Most certainly a signpost.' said
Challenger. What else? Finding him
self upon "A dangerous GRAND. our pio-
neer has left this sign SO that any
party which follows him may know
the way he has taken. Perhaps we
shall come upon some other indica-
tons as we proceed"
We did indeed. but they were of a
terrible and most unexpected nature.
Immediately beneath the cliff there
grew a considerable patch OF high
bamboo, like that which we had trav-
ersed In our journey. Many Of these
stems e twenty feet high. with
sharp. strong tops, so that ever as they
stood they made formidable spears.
We were passing along the edge of
this cover when my eye was caught
by the CLEAN of something white with
in 1t. Thrustlng in my head between
the stems, / found myself gazing at
a f1eshless skull. The whole skeleton
was there, but the skull had detached
itself and lay some feet nearer to the
open.
With a few blows from the nachetes
of our Indians we cleared the spot and
were able to study the details of this
old tragedy. Only n few shreds of
clothes could still be distinguished. but
there were the remains of boots upon
the bony feet, and it was very clear
that the dead man was a European. \

And the bamboo grows through his

Office in Winslow. stating that unless

first met with fiat refusal to say any
thing. then the man who answered the
phone said that he was not in charge
of the mil and did not care to make a
statement. that Mr.. Stobie should be
the one to be referred to. Mr.. Stobie
was finally reached late in the evening
and his reply when asked for it was
a brusk "AN q lie, nothing in it, The
mills OF the Hollingsworth & Whitney
Co. here have been known for a long
time to be making the cartridge paper
that is being used by the DUPONT Pow

be given great deal of credepce in
