as If beneath great weight, his head
rose and turned back upon his neck, he
filled his lungs with another wheeling
sigh. His teeth ground together, his
head began to wag upon his shoulders
it dropped lower and lower; one hand
slipped from it's hold and he lurched
forward. An instant he hung suspend
ed from the waist; then he appeared to
let go Imply as all resistance went out
of his big body. There came warning
rattle Of dirt and mortar and pebbles /;
the next instant he slipped into the
well and plunged headlong down upon
O'Reilly, an avalanche of lifeless flesh.
Johnnie shielded himself with his up
flung arms, but he was driven to his
knees, and when he scrambled to his
self in utter darkness. There was a
heavy weight against his legs. With a
strength born of horror and revulsion
he freed himself; then hearing no
sound and feeling no movement, he
fumbled for the candle and with clumsy
fingers managed to relight it. Even
after the flame had leaped out and he
saw what shared the pit with him he
could barely credit his senses. The ma
ture of his deliverance was uncanny,
supernatural-it left him dazed. He
had beheld death stamped upon Cobo's
writhing face even while the fellow
braced himself to keep from falling,

Exactly. And they saw nothing"
your pardon, my colonel They
came back in cold sweat, and they
spent the night on their knees. The
woman was there. again. You have
seen the salt sea at night? Well, her
face was aglow, like that, so they said.
They heard the clanking Of chains, too.
and the sound of hammers. coming
from the very bowels of the earth. 1t
is all plain enough, when you know
the story. But 1t is terrifying
"This is indeed amazing" Cobo ac-
knowledged, "but of course there is
some simple explanation. Spirits, If
indeed there are such things, are made
of nothing-they are like thin air.
How, then, could they rattle chains?
You probably saw some wretched pa
cificos in search Of food and imagined
the rest"
Indeed! Then what did l hear with
these very ears? Whispers, murmurs
groans, and the cllnkety -clink of old
Sebastian's chisel. For his sins that
old slave is chained in some cavern of
the mountain. Soundlessl I'm no
baby! l know when I'm asleep, and l
know when I'm awake. That place is
accused, and want no more of it."
Cobo fell into frowning meditation,
allowing his cigarette to smolder down
until 1t burned his thick fingers. He
was not superstitfOus man and he
put no faith in the supernatural, new
ertheless he was convinced that his
sergeant was not lying, and reference
to PanchO Cueta had set his mind to
working along strange channels. He
had known Cueto well, and the latter's
stubborn belief in the existence of that
Varona treasure had more than once
impressed him. He wondered now If
others shared that faith, or if by
chance they had discovered a clue to
the whereabouts of the money and
were conducting a secret search. 1t
was a fantastic idea, nevertheless.
Cobo told himself that if people were
prying about those deserted premises
1T was with some object, and their ac-
lions would warrant observation. The
presence of the wOman-a woman
with the glow of phosphorus upon her
face was puzzling, but the whole affair
was puzzling. He determined to inves-
tigate. After time he murmured, 81
Should like to see this spirit"
The sergeant shrugged. 1t was plain
from his expression that he could not
account for such q desire. Another
night is coming" said he.
Good! / shall visit the place, and
If l see anything unusual well, l
shall believe what you have told me.
Meanwhile, go see your priest by all
means. 1t will do you no HARM"

MUSICIANS HAVE LONG LIFE
Reasons Why Those Who Furnish Us
With Sweet Sounds Are Not Cut
Off in Youth.

Investigations made recently by a
well-known doctor lead him to con-
clude that musicians who play wind
instruments are exceptionally long
lived.
Cornet players are credited by him
with an average life of 691 years.
Clarinet players are next with 64.4,
while the average oboe and bassOon
player lives to be about siyty-three
years old. The lowest duration of life
by these players of wind instruments
Is in men who handle the flute. Be-
cause of the formation of their instru-
ments, they do not have opportunity
for full exercise of their lungs. There
fore the flute player, according to this
authority, reaches an average age of
61.2 years.
1t is interesting to observe the num-
Der of seemingly aged men who are
members of orchestras. The theater
orchestra that does noe number one or
two men who have left their hair far
behind with the years, or are so gray
that they appear well upon the cen
fury mark, is an exception. The truth
is that a steady and moderate daily
use of the lungs, which is called for
by the performance of professional
duty, Is responsible for this remark
ably high average of existence.

How cobo Stood on His Head.

How Cobo Stood on His Head.
All that day, or during most of it, at
least, Rosa and O'Reilly sat hand in
hand, Oblivious of hunger and fatigue,
impatient for the coming of night
keyed to the highest tension. Now they
would rejoice Historically, assuring
each other Of their good fortune, again
they would grow sick with the fear of
disappointment. Time after time they
stepped out of the hut and stared ap-
prehensively up the slopes of La Cum
bre to assure themselves that this was
not all part of some fantastic illu-
sion; over and over, in minutest de-
tail, Johnnie described what he had
seen at the bottom of the well. He
tried more than once during the after
noon to sleep, but he could not, for the
moment he closed his eyes he found
himself back there in that pit upon the
ridges crest, straining at those stub
born rocks and slippery timbers. This
inaction was maddening his fatigue
rendered him feverish and irritable.
Jacket, too, felt the strain, and after
several fruitless attempts to sleep he
rose and went out into the sunshine,
where he fell TO whetting his knife. He
finished putting double edge upon the
blade, fitted handle to 1t, and then
cord With which to suspend it round
his neck. He showed it to O'Reilly,
and after receiving a word of praise he

ne saw Cobo, without the least appar-
ent reason, twist and shudder, saw him
stiffen rigidly as if seized with a sud-
den cramp, saw his eyes dilate and
heard him heave deep, whistling sigh.
OReilly could not imagine what allied
the fellow. For an eternity, so it
seemed, Cobo remained leaning upon
his outspread arms, fixed in that same
attitude of paralysis-it looked almost
as If he had been startled by some
sound close by. But manifestly that
was not the cause of his hesitation, for
his face became convulsed and an ex-
preston Of blank and utter astonish-
ment was stamped upon it. The men
stared fixedly at each other, O'Reiliy
with his head thrown back, Cobo with
his body propped rigid!y upon wooden
arms and that peculiar shocked inquiry
In his glazing eyes. But slowly this
expression changed; the colonel bent

one-Man Pontoons.

Building bridges under fire, the
greatest ordeal that the army engi-
neers of other campaigns were sub
jected to. bids fair to go out of fash
ion. In future regiment going across
a stream will, if a recent invention
meets with approval, merely wade into
the stream and drift across, meantime
utilizing both hands to manipulate his
rife.
The new invention is sorr Of glori-
fed "wster wings" arrangement and
is adapted to the fording of deep
streams without the necessity of
bridge building. The encircling buoy
is blown up by the soldier. 1t holds
him upright in the water with his
shoulders and arms clear of the sur
face. In experiments recently con-
Quoted a man made several bulls
