The multitudes were silent as the beam of light glanced over the calm waters, and noticed not a ripple thereon. Ten seconds passed, half minute, and still there was nothing to denote any thing unusual beneath the smooth waters of Cascade Plunge.
 One minute had passed, and the throng began to stir uneasily, and a low whisper that rose and grew into a general murmur be- spoke the impatience-not to say anxiety-with which the multi tudes waited
 And then, as the suspense be- came acute, one faint ripple dis turbed the placid waters, and second later the entire surface was broken into a hundred little wavelets, that fled in frightened haste ShorewaTd.
 A shadow appeared from the depths of the pool. First nose that cleaved the water with its sharpness even as the peri scope of a submarine, and then a fact with pair of eyes that twinkled and laughed to them selves as they hastily glanced at the astounded crowd, appeared above the surface of the pool.
 Monte C,isto" Abell had shot from the depths of the dark waters, even as ghost would arise from the silence of the grave.
 It had seemed humanly impos- sIble that Coach W. W. Abell, athletic director of the Y. NJ. C. A, could emerge from his hemp en prison when moment before he had been lowered into the deepest part of Cascade Plunge. AbelI had been placed in n sack of stout fibre cloth, the end hnd been bound tightly with ropes and a heavy weight had been tied to the whole apparatus. The sack with it's human prisoner had been dropped into the pool, and the crowd stood by, breathlessly awaiting the outcome of the trial.
 One minute had sufficed for the willy Monte Cristo" Abell to make his way to freedom, and to shoot surfaceward to gloat in quiet satisfaction over the dis comfiture of the crowd.
 The sack in which Abell had been imprisoned was hauled up from the bottom of the pool, and the knotted cords that held it's loose end shut were exposed to the investigation of the crowd. The apparent unSpoiled fastneSs
