then followed on in the course of
the spring. They talked little, prob

Dave.

Thus Dave, hearing nothing,
they continued on their course.
The spring led out of the ball and
they had some more hard going.
They began to hear a humming
sound which gradually grew loud
CT as they went on until it became
a deafening rOar-a sound as a
large water fall would make. They
came into another large room. The
noise seemed very near. They
went forward slowly and cautious
ly. Then what they saw utterly
dunbfounded them. They saw a
stream of water; small river
rushing swiftly before them and
tumbling over into deep and
dark hole. A river i'm this cliff!
A river when the land just outside
was as dry as bone most of the
year! They were surprised beyond
all words.
They could see where the stream
had fed the spring that had wat
cred the Thomas place. A large
boulder had rolled or fallen d.
rectly into the source of the spring
blocking the water effectively.
When they began to comprehend
their surroundings they decided to
return to the open air. They had
to shout to each other to make
themselves heard because the walls
of the cave magnified the sound
of the falls a thousand fold.
The sun was low in the west

MO matter how much you say
AZ there is always lot of cram
ming on the part of the students
just before an examination. The
student does not seem to realize
that if he studies faithfully from
day to day he will need have no
fear of exams.
A pugilist or runner or football
player trains carefully every day
so that when the big game comes
he will in every way be fit to play
his best. He cannot wait until the
night before the battle and then
train. it just won't work.
The same thing is true of stud
les. If you wait until the last mo-
ment and then cram your brain,
you will not be in form to do your
best and what you do learn will
no stay with you long.

'I've got strong flashlight at

"They surely will; let's 60 get
them." They started on a run. In
a very short time they returned
with the lights and prepared to
enter the cave, if it were a cave.
isn't it thrilling to think that
we are going to explore real
cave?" asked Dave excitedly.
Don't get too excited, it may
just be small pocket like the one
you fell into last night. Well who
is going in first?" asked Jules.
81 am" responded Dave, "you
have been in it once already" With
his flash light in one hand Dave
dropped to his knees and crawled
into the hole. Jules with the Ian
terms followed on his heels. Dave
turned the light full ahead of him
as he crawled. After they had
gone about ten feet the hole wild
ened and they could stand up.
They found that they were in a
small sort of a room roughly
formed of rock and limestone, the
top was so low as to force them
to stoop slightly. The air was
damp and cold and Dave buttoned
up his coat.
Look! 1t is a real cave" Dave
stopped startled at the loudness of
his voice. The sound echoed and
re-echoed to their left. Dave low
cred his voice and continued, "Hear
that echo? 1t must be a big cave
all right. There's the place where
Thomas's spring flowed" Dave
pointed to the flow where it was
slightly followed out and strewn
with pebbles.
Lets follow it and see If we
can find out where it came FROM"
suggested Jules. "We'd better use
the lanterns and save the flash
light for an emergency"
At first travelling was hard for
the floor was rough and often the
top of the cave was so low that
they had to crawl for distance.
Their course seemed to be in
clined upward slight degree and
they were soon perspiring freely
in spite Of the low temperature.
Suddenly they came into large
hall-like place. Altho their lights
were not strong enough to show
them the extent of this hole they
could see that it was very beauti-
full. There were beautiful pillars
stalactites hanging from the roof
and other stalagmites rising up
from the floor. With a little inn
agination you could see this place
as a huge temple with beautiful
pillars supporting the roof. Each
