The water in the creek had risen at least three feet above 'its normal level and then subsided. This proved that the inlet or orifice by which It entered the cave bad a capacity or bore sum- •cient tp carry the larger flow of water, When the flood drained away, there would naturally be a space of three or Cour feet Left• between the water and the t'oof of the tunnel—if, as he sup- posed, there was a subterranean tunnel connectiug somewhere with the open air. What was to hinder a man escaping from the cave that way? Prudence said, "No; remain where you are until Filley returns." But suppose Ftiley g met with some accident or the bank ("refused to pay the money? What then would be the fate of Madge and Fier- 'ence and Mrs. Hurst? He shuddered to think! By this time it was pitch dark in the ,cave. A small fire was kept burning, but the embers had died down to a dull red glow. One by one the women suc- cumbed to fatigue and excitement and lay down on the sand, their heads pit - lowed in each other's laps. Miele John, Henry, Alec and Gustave soon follow- ed their example. The robbers were all withdrawn to the mouth of the cav- ern, that, in their estimation, being the only spot worth gudding. Soon the regular and rhythmic t,breathing around him convinced Ches- ter that be was the only person awake. lie rose to a sitting posture, then got rupon his hands and knees and In this zfashion wriggled his way to the upper rend of the cave, following the sound sof the flowing water on his left lsand. He had covered less than a hundred :yards when he was stopped by a wall of rock. Gently stepping into the 'stream, he felt all around the opening and found it had a radius of about three feet above the water, being of a roughly semicircular shape. The Mit- item of the stream was .smooth and ;pebbly and the water not more than :nine Inches or a foot deep. Rising to bis feet; Chester looked back along the full length of the cave to where the embers of the fire glowed like a red :spark. All was quiet. Again be stooped and got on all fours in the bed of the stream. This brought his head below the level of the arch, and a cool, fresh breeze came blowing in his face, proving that not far away there existed some sort of connection ;with the open air. lr With a whispered "For llfadgel" he began to moVe forward cautiously, the lee cold water reaching nearly to his middle and swashing and curling :around his legs and arms. SEVENTH DAT. CUESTER IVES AT wing.. The situation was an uncanny one. Chester bad no matcbes and would not have dared to strike a light In the 'other event. The dense darkness, the rushing waters, the Utter sense of iso - taffeta, the foreboding fear that any moment might plunge him into a chasm which would prove a nameless tomb—these tangible and untanglble fears and dangers might have quailed the heart of the stoutest frontiersman, much less of an inexperienced tender- foot, well enough versed In the wiles of Wall street, but a veritable tyro to the dangers of the Colorado desert. However, the "stuff of which brave peen are ninth, does not vary, much the world over, and Ives was buoyed up -with the hope and belief that on him J'este'd the safer; 'of the whole party, encluding that or the girl he loved. .1f ,be saved her from this peril. she would ;belong to titre in a dual sense.

Even as be tloundel'ed along he thought grimly of what a capital story the adventure would make for the sensational press of the metropolis and how the natty habitues of .the cafes of Wall and Broad streets would shont with merri- ment could they behold bins In W. present drowned out predicament. Suddenly his head came In butt Cola tact with the rocky roof, which proved that the orifice was becoming narrow- er, forcing him to flatten himself out until, his chin was nearly touching the water,'and in this fashion he wriggled for perhaps a dozen yards farther. Then, resting for a moment and raising his eyes, he beheld through the dense gloom, but right ahead, a cluster of tiny ttvineling lights. A moment's reflection satisfied him that they must be stars and that he had at last reached the open air. A few feet more, and he emerged through a crevice In the rocks on a little beach of pebbles and water worn rocks, at the margin of which he could dimly dis- cern the surface of. a considerable stream, whose placid bosom reflected the glorious firmament overhead. Nev- er was the sight of the canopy of heave en more welcome. Though be did not know it then, be was on tbe west bank of the La Fon- taine, or Fountain, river, which fed the Each sprang astride an amnia and started at a hard gallop, cave stream and whose gravelly margin was still wet and glistening with the high water mark caused by the cloud, burst of a few hours before. Wbat next to do Ives did not know. He was a stranger to the country and totally ignorant of the lay of the land. To proceed in the darkness seemed well nigh impossible, yeti to wait for morn- ing would be a pitiful waste of time. He had no very exalted idea of 11'illey's good faith nor ofthat of the DalIon gang—in fact, be reposed about al much confidence in the one as the ooh. er. If Filley bungled is any way, he dreaded to think of the consequettde$ to those dear ones left in the detehes of as cold blooded a set of wretches as ever drew* trigger or bestrode stolen horseflesh. Besides, he shrewdly sus- pected that Miley would take good care to look after No. 1 and if he failed to get the money might content himself with keeping out of personal danger and perhaps giving an alarm without heed to the fate of Draper and his party. All these reflections flew through Chester's brain as he sat shivering and squeezing the water out oe his clothes on the wet bowlder. Casting his eyes around the horizon, he noticed a white glare off to the north, showing clearly in that marvelously pure atmosphere. That, he thought, must be the lights of Denver and in that direction would help most likely be found. So, weary and cold, with chattering teeth and aching in every joint, he set out along the bank of the little stream, stumbling and at times falling over the obstruc- tions in the way. But after a cou- ple of hours of this sort of tramping he was completely beaten. His thin city shoes were worn to shreds, and every step was acute torture. As the first pale streaks of lemon colored glow appeared in the east he sank by the way, his back against a rock and pant- ing from exhaustion. He intended on- ly to rest tor a tete moments, but ea- tlgue gained the upper band, and he soon sank lute an uneasy sleep, from which he was awakened ley lusty shouts and the eraeking of a whip. Opening his leaden eyes. be fotind the day e!1 abroad and discovered that the uproar proceeded from a teamster tvho was standing up In the shafts of his witgon yelling like one postbessed and snapping his heavy whip to order to attract the attention of the sleeper. "Thought I'd fetch you," was the driver's firfit salutation. "Couldn't leave the team, you see. so 1 had to boiler. What's the matter, plan? Look as though you'd been through an ore crusher:" Chester hobbled down the reek 1n- aumbered bank. a sorry dpeciacle In- deed. A "gentleman tramp" would have teemed a Ilean I,runtmel by coin. parison. "How far are we from Deaver?" vena his first inquiry*. "Matter o' 00 miles or so. Want to git Oar? ,Damp up then!" was tint cheery invitation. So Ives clambered up on the off side of the thefts, and immediately the heavy springiess ore TSE WINCTLIAll TIMES, NOV.l b7':t3T R 11 It ,',i wagon went creaking and crashing along the rough road,. In a few brief sentences Chester acs quainted him with the strange Imp. lienings or the past 30 hours, "Gee whirl" wblstle ij the teamster, "That's .Tito Dallon's gang, sure 'null See bore, podner, there's $5,000 re- ward out for elm!

If those women are rescued alive and nubnrin- ed, I'll answer for It that John Draper will put another $15,000 on top or the governor's reward to the man that daea it" "Yon don't sayl Well,'tale't none o' my blzness, but I guess I'll have to go you," was the matter of fact response. "What do you s'pose that clerk o' bJs'll do't Lias he got gumption?" "Yes," replied Chester, "he's got gumption enough, but 1 don't trust bile or the gems. You see, there may be some difiicuity about getting the mon- ey. 6'ifty thousand dollars is a large amount, and the bank may hesitate feel so enuae delay. Then what hap- pens?

In whlch event 1 believe Dalton will be as good es his word—he'll murder theta or "Like as not," was the not very cheering response. During this collo- quy they were making slow but sure progress toward the city, but to Ives the pace was tantalizingly tedious. Ben Gallup, the teamster aforesaid, ut- tered not a word for three or four min- utes. Then, with a mighty crack of his whip, he exclaimed: "By hokey, that's the dodge! Ged- dap, you lazy devils!" And, standing up on the shafts, he urged his team with voice and whip until they broke into a trot which doubiell their speed. Thou he condescended to speak. "Don't know as they'll interfere, but you'd better try." "Who, man, who? For God's sakes be more explicit!" sputtered Ices. "Over yonder a piece, at Littleton," said Gallup, pointing toward the north- west with his whip. "There's an old military camp there—Fort Denver it • used to be called. They're the lads for you if they'll do the job. S'pose it be- longs to the sheriff by rights, but it'll take too long. He'd be all day gettin ready and swearin out his warrants and babbus corpses for Jack Doe and Dick Roe. 4. dose o' cold lead is the best medicine for them fellers, and then you can 'rest them atterwards." "Fort Denver, you say?" queried Chester, all on fire with impatience. "Then drive, man, drive. as you love your own wife and daughters." "Can yon ride hossback?" queried Gallup. "Yes; of course," was the quick re- ply - "Then hold on a minute." So saying he drove the wagon to the side of the road, jumped down and began to un- barness the team. Ives helping with nervous haste, quickly divining the honest fellow's intention. Rapidly knotting the traces and the lines, they each sprang astride an animal and started down the road at a hard gallop, the dust rising in clouds behind theta. On they went for a couple of miles, and then there loomed up right ahead the trim white walls and the black muz- zles of the two' howitzers belonging to the little army post. A couple of sen- tries patrolled in front of the guard- house and looked with wondering eyes on the strange outfit scampering past. "I wish to speak with your com- manding officer," said Ives. "Be good enough to hand him my card and may 'tis a matter of life and death!" "Yes, and it'll be wuss'n death if he ain't pritty durn lively," muttered Ben. 1 Tben ae the orderly turned away he called after him: "Tell the cap'n Dal - Ion gang's broke loose ag'in. They've stole a railroad train! Guess that'll tetch him," be chuckled. In less than 00 seconds appeared the 1 officer of the day, Lieutenant Crosby, holding between thumb and forefinger the limp and water soaked piece of pasteboard which Ives had sent in. "This Is Mr. Ives, I presume," he said, addressing the New Yorker and looking with polite amazement at his sorry plight. "Yes, sir, and this is Ben Gallup, a teamster who picked me up on the road a few miles north of this place more dead than alive. The case le most ur- gent Several women are in peril at the hands of the Dallon gang." "Pray step this 'way, Mr. Ives," was the courteous request, and seats were Oval titem,..while a messenger was dispatched to rouse Colonel Byng, the commandant. They had not long to Wait. The mere mention of the Dal- ton gang, as Ben Gallup bad surmised, was enough, and the orderly returned almost immediately to say they were to proceed to the colonel's quarters. They found that officer just finishing his breakfast, and after the necessary introduction Chaster proceeded to tell his thrilling story, which was pnnotur- ed with sundry exclamations of '"Pia!" and "Sol" from the attentive soldier. "'Well, Mr. Yves,' he said as the for- mer ceased, pulling his gray ibustaehe; "strictly speaking, this is no affair for the military arm; 'tis a job for the sheriff. But I'll take the responsibility and do the explaining afterward. Can you guide us to the mouth of the cave,," "1'm afraid not, sir," was the reply.` "We were blindfolded after leaving the cars, and I made my exit by a to - telly different route, as you see," he ended, ruefully looking down at his eletpeless garments. "1 presume your water titled Is not available as tt base of attack'?" "1 should say not," replied Ives,. "even if 1 could find the mouth of It again, which l doubt," "Ifo you know the locality?"

"Like a plctur' book!" was the la- conic reply. "Why, I was one o' tbe last men to drive a pick in Bone gulch!" "Then you're the mal: we want," was the clinching answer. "How many, men shall you need, Crosby?" "Scuse me, Cunnel Byng," broke in Gallup, "them fellers won't be caught asleep—not by no means. They must be took unawares. You'll want two squads at least." "How many are In the gang?" Inquir- ed the lieutenant of Ives. "Not over 20, I should say. But let me beg you to act quickly. Think of those poor women in the clutches of such miscreants!" "Rely upon it, lir. Tees, all shall b3 done that can be done, and that imme- diately. You will'aceompany the troops, I presume?" "Most assuredly!" was the reply. "Then in that case permit me to offer you a mount, and while the men are falling in you may as well refreail yourself. From what you say there is ample time. 'Tis not yet 12 o'clock.

Dation was clearly uneasy. Ile was very "ugly" and berated and abused every one un- mercifully. Every foot of the cave, was searched, and scouting parties were sent out along Bone gulch as far as the railroad spur without any trace of the fugitive being discovered. The gang dared not show themselves out- side the gulch, for by this time Dalkon knew that search parties would be pa- trolling the railroad track in quest of the lost cars. Draper and his party knew not what to think. The consternation of the ban. dits was so evidently genuine that no suspicion of foul play was possible. They were forced to the same conclu- teen—that Chester bad escaped, but how? None of them dreamed of the water course as it possible means of ex- it. So after a deal of bad language Cir the part of Dalton and his minions all bands, captors and captured, settled down to wait for Monday's sunset, be - tore which hour it was futile to expect Fiiiley's return with the money. Slowly the long hours slipped away, In the semidarkness of the cavern. The ladies bore up well under the ere cumstances, but the ordeal was a try ing one, and Mrs. Hurst declared she sbould die if she bad to spend another night there. Uncle John, as may be imagined, had his hands full. (To be Continued). WHEN MOTHER SiNGS.

MURDERS AND A MORAL. (Canadian Courier.) Canada has been for years given to patting herself on the bank as a law- abiding and law -enforcing country and has hold up white hands of horror at the stories of lynchings in the Southern States and murders in the mining regions of the Western States. But it is high time for the enlightened Province of Ontario to ask itself what has become of trial by jury and the administration of justice. A jadge calmly refases to accept the twics•returned verdict of a jury in a ease of extraordinarily dis- tressing oircametances. Oa the other hand, jaries bring in verdicts of man- slaughter where crimes demand a ver. dint of absolute ooudemnation. The verdict and sentenoe in the Blythe case were such as to diminish seriously the pnbiio confidence and trust. The most brutal murder which Ontario has known Vit. some years has been regarded with a leniency that is the greatest mensoi with wbioh a peace loving community oau be threatened. The Blythe criminal in a creature deserving the severest pen- alty the law can inflict, and he is treated with a sentimentality whioh is disgust - leg to any Sane oititin. Such eentenoes merely encourage crime and brutality and show that we have lost a sense of civic responsibility. Nothing is snore conducive to anarchy, which is an even worse condition thau tyranny, than the flabby oondoniug of cffenoes Which strike at the very root of civilization.

When you feed "stock food " to your cow, horse, swine or poultry, you are merely feeding them what you are growing on your own farm. Your animals do need not more feed, but something to help their bodies get all the good out of the feed you give them so they can get fat and stay fat all year round; also to prevent disease,cure disease and keep them up to the best possible condition. No "stuck food" can do all these things, ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPECIFIC can and does. It is Not "Stour Food" But a "Conditioner" ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPSCIFICcontains no grain, nor farm products. It increases yield of milk from three to five pounds per cow per day before the Specific has been used two weeks. It makes the milk richer and adds flesh faster than any other preparation known. Young calves fed with ROYAL, PU RPLE are as large at six weeks old as they would be when fed with ordinary materials at ten weeks. ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPECIFIC builds up run-down animals and restores thecti to plumpness almost magically. Cures bots, colic, worms, skin diseases and debility ,ermanentiy. Dan McEwen, the horseman, says: I have used ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPECIFIC persistently in the feeding of The Eel,' 2.021, largest winner of any pacer an Grand Circuit in 1900, and 'Henry Winters,' 2.091, brother of 'Allen tVinters, winner of $86,000 in trotting stakes in 1903.
