Pearlhunter had heard of the place.
He resolved to take his chances there.
The spot was no great distance above

CHAPTER x.


All the way back 10 Fallen Rock the
~Pearlhunter pondered the scene he had
gazed on through the chink In the
cabin wall: the mans TRANSPORTED
face; his actions with the picture-that
above all-the picture. 1t puzzled him,
angered him. That such q man shouod
have her picture; his mother's-w'fh
the darkly beautiful face and wonder
full eyes-warm against his breast! II
was another reason why he should
hunt him down.
The Pearlhunter was as brave as
the woods make them but 1t is no dis
credit to his manhood to say that
his blood ran a little faster as
he stepped down off the rock into the
water and waded through the falls.
Every inch of the way had TO be felt
out with his fingers before his feet
could be trusted to follow.
The roar of the falls had dulled a
little when suddenly a sound came out
Of the dark just ehead-a sound like a
garment rubbing against some rough
surface. The P~earlhunter stepped to
one side Of the passage and lattened
himself against the wall. Out of the
lead silence the sound came again. A
grin loosened his face. The very
sound he had half expected-a horse
eontentedly munching his hay.
The Pe~arlhunter came u from
against the wall and inched his way
deeper into the blackness OF the pass
age. II abruptly widened until he was
no longer able to reach from one wall
10 the other with his outsiretched
arms. Though denied the use of his
eyes. he knew that the passage broad

cave. He stood in the very entrance

The next step-there was no help
for it-lightl Desperate and danger

might spring to life. Still, IL was bet
ter than to stumble over a sleeping
man or walk into a knife. With his
revolver balanced. his face to the open
cave, he reached his left hand along
the wall TO the farthest stretch of his
arm, bringing his body as far as posi-
bic from the light, and with his I'm
gers fumbled GU a spot suitably
smooth and dry-for there must be no
failure. The match scraped. A tiny
fame leaped away from the rock. II
lighted up the place surprisingly.
The cave vas not large-hardly
twice the size of an ordinary room.
The first swift glance showed him that

to drag up with them. indicated only
too plainly the general drift of what

Farmer Seeks Tax
Payment Release

WORTHWHILE, Ind, July Luther
Wise, farmer Of Hamilton County, has
brought an action in court against the
board Of county commissioners asking
the judge to release him from the ray
ment of taxes on 5000 in money He adj
mits that he had the money On the first
Of last March, which is the date fixed by
law as 10 the ownership of property.
In his complaint, Wise asserts he re-
ceived a check for 5000 on Feb. % and
had the money on the first day Of March,
but he also SAYS he gave the money to
J. II. Holt Of indianapolis on that day as
partial payment on a farm. Wise has
come 10 the conclusion that he should not
be required to pay taxes on both the
money and the land. Frank Campbell,
County attorney, filed an opinion in writ
ing with the commissioners saying they
should not release the plaintiff from pay
ing taxes on the money Campbell as
serts that Wise had a remedy through
the board of review, but he did not carry
his case to that board.

American music lovers. 1t was definitely
established today from SignOr Caruso
that the rumors, circulated in New York,
that he has lost his voice as the result

without foundation.
The famous singer is living quietly in
this beautiful old Adriatic city and is
recovering from the effects of his siege
of illness in New York. Already he looks
much better than he did upon his ar
rival in Italy.
The report of Signor Carusos voice
failure, as cabled to Rome from New
York was shown to the golden-voiced
singer. He seemed surprised and then
smiled broadly.
Those rumors are absolutely without
foundation, said Signor Caruso. 81 am

The singer broke or and laughed, his
voice trilling into a tenor note worth

entered the basement because OF the
smoke. They said the building was not
damaged, but the oil switches and one
compensation were damaged.
