silver and gold pieces-doubloons and
pieces of eight; English and French

thing that brought me up sharp. Out

suffusion of it, indeed, but it was real
daylight-oozing in from somewhere

I paused to take breath. could not
turn my head to look back, but I
judged that I had come over a third

waist that I had feared, but I could
still go on-very slowly. scarce more

inch counted, and I had lots of time.
My feet and head were free-which

suddenly the arms of the rock were
around me. Tight and close, this time,

like rude lover, and would not let
me go. My knees and feet were fast,
and the walls on each side pressed my
cheeks. My head too was fast. I
could not move an inch forward-and
it was too late to go back!

Faith in the Punctualty of His
Coming Guest.

An old Englishman, James Scott by
name, travelled about on business UNI
til he was nearly eighty years of age.
He became celebrated for his punctu
atty and methodical habits. Upon
one occasion a gentleman stopped at
an inn much frequented by Mr.. Scott
and saw a fine fowl cooking.
"That looks very good" said the
hungry guest. you may serve that
for my dinner"
you cannot have that, sir" replied
the landlord. "That is being cooked
for Mr.. Scott, The traveller"

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an inflamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

Rooster Ate 4s6 Kernels.

A storekeeper at Montgomery City
has sprung new one in the guessing
game. He took big rooster and, af-
ter letting him fast for day, put
him in his show window with a large
pan Of corn, the kernels of which haa
been counted.
He offered prize to the persons
guessing nearest the lumber of grains
the rooster would cat in 20 minutes.
The rooster had ravenous appetite
and for five minutes it looked as il
there would not be single kernel
left.
But ny the time the 20 minutes had
elapsed he had curled up in a corner.
He had succeeded in putting away 4S6
grains. A woman whose guess was
4S8 got the prize.-Kansas City Times.

the more measured the width with
my eye, the less the narroWlAs seemed
to be. To be so slightly pesceptible. 1t
could hardly be enough to make rrrch
difference. Caution whispered that 1t
might be enough TO make the differ
ence between life and death. But al
ready my choice of those two august
alternatives was so limited as hardly
to be called a choice. On the ore
hand, 1 could worm my way back
through the caves and tunnels through
which had passed, and try my luck
again at the other end.
"With half a dozen matches |"
sneered voice that sounded like To-
bias'-"Precisely" and the hor-
ror of it was more than 1 dared face
again anyway. So there was nothing
for 1t but this aperture, hardly wider
than one of those deep stone Sits that
stood for windows in Norman castle.
1t was my last chance, and meant
to take 1t like man.

Not Real Fur.

In the display window of an In
dianapclis department store a few
days ago, were two fur coats, one
marked $475 and the other 1896. Two
young girls passed the display, and,
quite naturally, cast admiring giances
at the coats.
"Three dollars and ninety-fve cents
for that coat" said one. "Well, it
looks like a pretty good coat for that
money, but you know it's not genuine
fur"
The girls did not go into the store
to investigate.

CHAPTER VII--continued.

But alasi they did not begin till
some six feet above my head, and the
way was sheer. How was to reach
the lowest rung? The rock was too
sheer for me to cut steps in, as / had
done farther back. / looked about me.
Again the luck was with me. In one
of the caves l had noticed some broken
pieces of fallen rock. They were ter
ribly heavy, but despair lent me
strength, and after an hour or two's
work, had managed to roll several
of them to the foot of the ladder, and
with an effort of which | would not
have believed myself capable-had
another against the wall. So, / found
myself able to grasp the lowest rung
with my hands. Then, fastening the
lantern round my neck with my neck
tie, prepared to mount.
The climb was not difficult, once
had managed to get my feet on the
FIRST rung of the ladder, but there was
always the chance that one of the
rungs might have rusted loose with
time, in which case, of course, it would
have given way in my grasp, and
should have been precipitated back
ward to certain death below.
However, the man who had mortised
them had done an honest piece of
work, and they proved as firm as on
the day they were placed there. Up
and up I went, till must have been
forty feet above the floor, and, them
as / neared the foot, instead of COM
ing to trap door, as l had conjec-
tured, found that the ladder came to
an end at the edge of a narrow ledge,
running along the ceiling much as a
clerestory runs near the roof of some
old churches. On to this I managed to
climb. 1t was barely yard wide, and
the impending roof did not permit of
ones standing erect. 1t was a dizzy
situation, and it seemed safest to
crawl along on all tours, holding the
lantern in front of me. Presently it
brought me up sharp in a narrow
recess. 1t had come to an end.
Yesi but imagine my joyI it had
come to an end at a low archway
rudely cut in the rock. Deep set in
the archway was stout wooden door.
My first thought was that 1 was
trapped again, but, to my infinite sur
prise and gratitude, it proved to be
slightly ajar, and vigorous push sent
1t grinding back on it's hinges. What
next? wondered. At all events, was
no longer lost in the bowels of the
earth; step by step, 1 was coming
nearer to the frontiers of humanity.
But l was certainly not prepared
for what next met my eyes, as 1
pushed through the low doorway with
my lantern, and looked around. Yes!
indeed, man had certainly been here,
man, too, very purposeful and bust
nesslike. / was ia sort of low mar

which the arching rock made a crypt
like ceiling. At my first glance, I saw
that there was another door at the far
end similar to the one I had entered
by; and on the left side of the gallery,
built of rough stones from the low
ceiling to the floor, was a series of
compartments each with locked wood
en- door. They were strong and grim
looking, and might have been taken
for prison cells, or family vaults, or
possibly wine bins. The massive locks
were red with rust, and there was
plainly no possibility of opening them.
On the other side of the gallery
there was a litter of old chains, and
some boards, probably left over from
the doors. Yes, and there were two
old fiintlock guns, and several cut
lasses, all eaten away with rust, also
a rough seaman's chest open and fall
ing to pieces. At the sight of that,
wild thought flashed through my brain.

A man was brought into court re-
Gently under the anti-loafing law. The
judge looked at him for a moment and

I'm that case I'll have to find you
guilty of loafing."
"But, your honor" protested the
man, I'm regularly employed by the
church as an organist."
''That only confirms my opinion"
said the judge. "The law requires ev-
cry man to work, but your occupation
requires you to ulay."

CHAPTER VIII.
In Which Understand the Feelings of
Ghost


a Ghost.
So, / surmised, / had been under
ground whole day and two nights,
and this was the morning of the sec
ond day after Calypso's disappearance.
What had been happening to her all
this time! My flesh crept at the
thought, and, with that daylight steal
ing in like living presence, and the
sound and breath of the sea, my an
guish returned a hundredfold.
AS / stood on the little rocky plat
form outside the door through which
had burned my way, and looked down
into the glimmering chasm beneath,
huskily rumbling and reverberating
about hidden grottoes and channels
all that Calypso was to me came back
with the keenness of sword through
my heart. All there was my treasure
-as had known when my eyes first
beheld her-compared with which that
gold and silver in there, whose CLEAN
had made me momentarily distraught,
was but so much dust and ashes.
Ardently as l had sought it, what was
it compared to one glance of her eyes?
What if in the same hour, I had lost
At the thought, that glittering heap
became abhorrent to me, and, without
looking back, sought for some way
by which I could descend.
AS my eyes grew accustomed to fhe
dim light, I saw that there were some
shallow steps cut diagonally in the
rock, and down these had soon made
my way, to find myself in a roomy cor
ridor, so much like that in which had
seen Calypso standing in the moonlight,
that, for moment, l dreamed it was
the same, and started to run down it,
thinking, indeed, that my troubles
were over-that in another moment l
would emerge through that enchanted
door and face the sea.
But alas instead of a broad shining
doorway, and open arms of freedom
widespread for me to leap into, came
at last to a mere long narrow slit
through which / could gaze as a man
gazes through prison window at the
sky.
The entrance had once been wide
and free, but mass of rock had fallen
from above and blocked it up, leaving
only a long crack through which the
tides passed to and fro.
was still in my trap; it seemed
more terrible than ever now that L
could see freedom so close, her very
voice calling to me, singing the morn
ing song of the sea. But in the caverns
behind me, l heard another mocking
song, and felt cold breath on my
cheek, for death stood by my side
agrin.
'sThe treasurer ~ he whispered, Il
need you to guard that. The treasure
you have risked all to win-the treas
ure for which you have lost-your
treasure! You cannot escape. Go back
and count your gold. 1T is all good
money! Hal ha! it is all good
money!"
The illusion seemed so real to me
that / cried aloud II will not die! /
will not die !"-cried 1t so loud, that
anyone in passing boat might have
heard me, and shuddered, wondering
what poor ghost it was wailing among
the rocks.
But the fright had done me good,
and / nerved myself for another effort.
