spread for him beside old Il-owa-

into the valley Vandervyn had again
borrowed his superiOr's writing pad
and fountain pen. He now sat down
at Hardy's shoulder, with the pad and
pen ready.
After n CeremOniOus silence the
head chiefs crier announced the pur-
pose of the council. This was FOL

LIKE PIECE OF FAIRYLAND
Remarkable Cavern, Known as Shat
tuck Cave, Discovered When
Miner Sets OFF Blast.

A blast in the Shattuck mine in
Arizona, set for the purpose of briEg-
ing down ore, was responsible for the
discovery of a remarkable cavern, now
known as Shattuck Cave, which has
yielded unusual mineral specimens,
some of the finest of which have been
added to the collection at the Michigan
College of Mines.
When the miner who had been work
ing in that part Of the 3OO-foot level
returned with the night shift he found
a great opening that reached farther
than his light could penetrate. Look
ing upward, he could see tiny lights
flashing, and, in the belief that they
were stars, he ran back to the shaft
and declared that he had blasted a
hole clear through the surface.
On investigating the mine official
found that the blast had opened a
great circular cavern 345 feet in diam
'eter and 175 feet high, which seemed
like a piece of fairyland. On the roof
myrlads of crystals reflected the lights
from the miners lamp. The walls, the
roof and the floor were covered with
great clusters of crystals, and near the
center of the cavern mass of stalac'
tites, 40 feet long, hung from the cell
ing like a great chandelier.
For the most part the crystals were
pure white, but in places where the
filtering waters had contained iron ant
copper great transparent stalactitei
and stalagmites, some ruby red, 9th
ers clear emerald green or azure
blue, added to the beauty Of the scene

the girls cheeks deepened to q rose.
Notes of Indignation and joy mingled
oddly in her half-murmured predic-
ton: "He will come back! That med
dler shall not prevent"
"You won't go and git Cap down on
us, will you" demonstrated Dupont.
"Wait and see," she replied.
When, at the usual supper hour,
Hardy presented himself at the Du-
pont door, his bearing was reserved
and somewhat diffident. Dupont, who
was alone in the parlor, genially bade
him enter. But Hardy fingered in the
doorway until Marie appeared.

as he met her look of surprise. II

Indeed. but you shall not!" ex-

that brought a glow into his grave
face. "What should we do without

"You are very kind to say it."
She smiled. "Where have you been
keeping yourself all day?"

"You must show me your plans al

with an enthusiasm more gratifying
to him than would have been per
sonal compliment.
They went in to supper, earnestly
discussing his plans for the betterment
of the tribe.

with passionate allurement. You

And you love me. sweetheart"
Under the enticement of his soft
eyes and pleading voice, all her re-
serve melted. Instead of eluding his
advance, she swayed forward, and per-
mitted him to take her in his arms.
He crushed her to him, and shOwered
kisses on her lips and blushing cheeks
upon her dusky hair when, over
come, she pressed her face against
his shoulder.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Fighting Chance.

Vandervyn was up before dawn.
But Marie was up an hour earlier, and
sent her father over to make sure that
her lover came for the breakfast she
had prepared for him. While he ate,
she stocked his saddlebags for the
trip, and gave the pinto a good feed
of oats.
He tried to see her alone, and
failed. She was too clever for him.
But when he went out to mount, she
permitted him a single parting kiss in
the presence Of her father.

Washington, March l3.-News was

The appeal by the former president,

drastic action by the Chinese govern

Offices record gains against the Ger

Champagne region on front OF $500
meters, west OF Maisons de Cham
payne, the French recaptured all the
positions previously taken by the
Germans on Ridge 1855 and also in
vaded a German fortified work. One
hundred prisoners were taken in the
operation. In the Woevre region,
near Seicheprey, raid on a German
trench was successfully carried out,
while attacks by the Germans be-
tween scissors and Rheims were re-
pulsed.
The British entered German
trenches near Bouchavesnes, north Of
Peronne, and also carried out raids
successfully south OF Arras. In the
latter sector the German positions
were bombed and many casualties
were inflicted on their occupants.

Heavy artillery activity is in prog

SITUATION IN THE INTERIOR

Santiago, Cuba, March l5.-From
his base at Guantanamo Admiral
Henry T. Mayo. commander OF the
United States Atlantic feet, received
reports today from at least FIVE Gu
ban shore stations where American
forces have been landed. From none
OF them, however, came any evidence
that the putting ashore of the Ameri-
cans was the beginn ng OF interven-
ton.
Five hundred marines and bluejack-
cts are in Santiago patrolling the city,
while smaller detachments are doing
similar duty in Guantanamo, Manzan-
lilo and Neuvitas. The only interior
station where American menowars-
men have been placed is FL Combre
mine, few miles from Santiago. The
Americans here have been careful not
to interfere in the least particular
with the conduct OF the civil govern
ment, the officials appointed by the
liberals before the evacuation OF the
city by their troops remaining in con-
troll.
Situation in Interior.
lust what the situation is in the
interior is not known by the Amer-
cans. The government advance forces,
commanded by Pablo and Fausto
Menocal, brothers of President Memo
cal, arrived at San Luis today, which
was evacuated yesterday by General
Comacho, after brief fighting in which
there were a few casualties. Rigo-
berto Fernandez, with his force of
rebels, is at Songo, southeast of San
Luis. This district is about 70 miles
north of Santiago. The Menocal
brothers said they would await re-
Inducements before advancing fur
ther.
The banks here remain closed
under orders from their main offices.
1t is thought that the most practical
reason for the closing Of the banks is
that much of the funds have been
withdrawn by depositors, and that
all the government lulluS, soLlellhis
in excess Of $4,000 have been taken
by the rebels.
Ceases to Be Closed Port.
Santiago ceased to be closed port
yesterday. The Cuban gunboat Ma
tanzas, which had been at the mouth
of the harbor for two days, left this
morning for Guantanamo. 1t had not
been permitted to enter Santiago by
Commander Reginald R. Belknap,

forces, who has the mine layer San
