A second and larger piece of rock fell and was dragged away and more light shot into the prison house.
 "Water!" cried Rhinelander. For Gods sake, toys, push in canteen."
 Helen heard the cry. Half-dozen willing men ran for the precious fluid A bottle of water was pushed into Storms hand and the next moment the half-eonscious men were being re viyed by him.
 Nerved. despite exhaustion, to a final spurt of energy. the rescuers rap idly enlarged the hole until Helen eager at the foreman's elbow, said she could get through, and against his protestations of danger crawled first through the cave-in, closely followed by the chief surgeon who, once in side, began to treat the most helpless Of the suffering men.
 The condition of the uncertain en trance called for the greatest care on the part Of the reseuers. Great masses of rock, suspended by not more, ii would seem, than a thread, hung threateningly over the ragged passage But time was too precious to wait foi further safety and the moment the men could be passed out, they were turned over to the hospital staff.
 Rhinelander had refused to leave until the last of the miners had been taken cut to safety. Storm followed him. Helen was the last to come through.
 A great crowd had gathered about the mine and as the imprisoned men were revived, and the chief surgeon covered with dust and debris, an nounced that no lives would be lost cheers went up again.

 At the mine entrance the men were getting on their feet and telling listen. ing comrades their experiences
 Storm was dismissing the men fos the day and, released from further tol. they slowly filed away. Turning from them, he joined Helen and Rhineland- CT. Together the three discussed theiY great new fortune.
