ed her almost instantly j at such ano s er

With infinite care, her yes blazing, er
lips set firm, she hauled erself from uft
to tuft, her eyes and feet seeking' wildly the
irregUlar foothold of the brisken cliff, till
her bent face looked full into a round h le.
For a moment she hesitated, fear of the in-
side holding her breath upended. ut
again, the memory of th se words, " he
lower tunnel," came on her. Inside wa a
faint flicker of light. But the voices ere
more blurred, Vac tapping almost mu ed.
She set her teeth together 'end squeezed
boldly through the hole, inding herself on
hands and knees inside narrow tun • el.
The first things her hands became awar of
were that she was kneelin between 8. air
of rails. "Truck rails, my word !" she
murmured under her bre th, as she -ose
softly to her feet and stro e to piercethe
darkness in the direction f that flieke ing
light in front.
After a little pause, he collected her
energies and courage and itdvanced tip toe
towards the light. Su deny- her toot
'struck the metals, the lig t vanished,. and
her outstretched hands fo nd the damp cliff.
She followed the trend of it, her heart in
her mouth, and in a mom nt, with a swift
movemente sank huddled to the ground.
For as she rounded the cu ve, she came in-
to full view of three me'. A lantern on
the ground threw a coppe y, dull glow onto
their faces, and in the lig t she saw as in
a flesh of lightning the fa e of her father's
quondam partner -Johns n. The recog-
nition staggered her, 'and her breath came
in short catches. It was true, then, she
thought, after all, and Johnson was a
rogue. As she shivered, iuddled up against
the wall, the conversation left no room for
doubt.
" We'll never get it bnished to -night,
ekipper," said one of the en.
Ale° Johnson turned on him savagely,
one hand supporting a 1 rge plank, which
he was driving &garnet h'wall „by a ong
wooden peg.
" Who asked your d d advice, Ja-
cobs ?" he said. "1Js a ase of must. The
escort comes to -morrow, nd all the bullion
goes down in the afternoo . There's {60-
000 in the safe to -night. And get it we
must."
If it hadn't been for that deluge last
night," rejoined the oth r of the three,
We'd be all safe. - But I don't see the use,
More than Jacobs, in al this timberiag."
Don't you ?" sneered Johnson fiercely.
'ciu'd look smart, woul n't you, if ,when
we had the sada in the trolley the rrides
caved in ? Very jolly ep ee for us all ! My
colonial ! Do you think, ' hewent on, with
rising ire, " that I've pia ned and watched,
worked and lived in a bla ied cave for six
months for this to have i in the last
moment? When I let,oli Joe Kinnom3 in
not that I ever thoug t he'd kick the
bucket over it -I -neant ,to grab the lot.
As you boys know, the e's a million of
money lyiog down in the ine below there.
Once we've got the ban safe down and
blown the tunnel away, ho the blazes is to
find us ? There's eixty tho ,eand in that !afe,
and I guess thet'e enough to buy old t oe's
chit and rim the Lone Sar 'as ib ought to
be run. So that safe's got to be run to-
night. There ain't more han two or three
planks between it and th trolley, arid by
midnight it will be in he lower tunnel.
And now you beck to, ni boys, or quit."

There was eomething of t le same ,steel -like
glint in th,ern that made os Leslie a feared
man in camp.-- Inch by i sire drew her-
self backward toward the hole by which she
had entered. No doubb ; as in- her. 'rind.
The fearless spirit of old 1 oe Kinnoms was
on her, and .its wealth, too, of resouree.
Even in the moment of r velation she had
formed her plan. No wird to the bank

Jos ! The two ot them mould trail the garg

It was a good hour's c imb from Jos Les-
lie's shanty to bhe spot where Laura had
.escaladed_the cliff, tand by the time they
reached the place a tutst drizzle had set in,
and Jos had been told a hill account of
what had happened. le ura, gazing at him
now and then through t e darkness, felt her
breath catching between a breath and a sob
at therigid outlines of his face and the
grey glowing of hie. eyes. Jos had loved old
Joe Kinnoms as mate in a breast -high
stream sometimes.learn o love a man com-
pounded of cheerful un elfishnese sod un-
varying pluck. He 1 ved the daughter
too; -in a different way, as the wild natures
of rock and riot and bue life love the glint
of a particular star -it silence rendered
,very dear and holy by reverence strange
to their lives, a rever nee incarnating all
the unbidden, harnati g, smothered im-
pulses of lives cast in al'ee ways.
Laura's hopes, her f ers, her love, and
especially her Vengeance -Were his. Body
and soul he knew no other aim, sought 'no
other reward than her satisfaction. He had
the elemental clearness of the savage in hie
perception of emotions, and the present
occaSion filled him with joy. There was a
man's work in front- of him and he meant
to fulfil it, cheerfully, completely.
He would not allow the -girl to lead the
Way to the hole, but,. leaningfar over,
swung her to and fro by his wiry arms, till
her feet , found footing beneath it. A
minute iiifterwarels he had joined her inside
tfie tun7el. The sound. -of a sudden clang
and a muttered oath, warned them they
were. only just in time. A few strides
brought them to the corner where Laura
had sheltered, and, crouching low, they
listened to the faint hum and groaning of
wheels rapidly approaching.
" Get right beliind-me, my pretty," said
Jos, in a whisper; as the light of a lantern
eveung to the corner. In each hand he had
sareaolver, end as the girl crouched behind
him she whispered, "Don't shoot ! Re-
member the tunnel."
•Jos'e head just moved in respotise. Next
moment a trolley, with a lantern swung on
front, rolled softly past them, casting a
thin, shadowy light down tho glistening
rails. , Oa the trolley was a huge safe, and
sitting on the sale was •Alec Johnson, his
face flushed and eager, and in his hand the
handle of the brake.
" Softly boys," he'wfiispered, turning' to
the two mem pushing at the back. " Soft-
ly does it round the corners. tVhoa ! Hold
her! So!" _
" Now,. Jim," he went on, adaressing one
of the men, 'a you go back and fire the
mine. Me and ,Jacobs will take on the
trolley find wait for you round the- next
turn."
The two in the corner, the man and the
girl, crouched • lower and lower . 'in the
shadows. The lamp cast its light away
from them, the great safe enveloping all the
rearward in black shadow. • They could
barely- distinguish the form of the man
" Jim " as he.returned slowly, and- by the
diminishing flicker and sudcien disappear-
ance of the light, .they knew the trolley had
turned the next corner.
" Sib like a moue, pretty," whispered
Jos, as the -.returning figure approached.
Then. before Laura' could ,breaehe a word,
he had glided away to the corner. Next
momeot there was a muffled groan, a
stumble-, and then Jos teturned, dragging
after him the forth of a man, one huge hand
on his throat, the other on his mouth.
" Quick, miss !" he whispered. " Your
-hat or scarf, or anything for a gag."
In a moment Laura, had uupinned her
Tam o'Shanter, and as Jos removed his
hand, before the man could recover his
breath she had crammed the soft woollen
thine into his mouth.- Within two minutes
Jos had him tied hand and foot and knees,
Light., incapable.
" Take my advice, sonny," the ex -troop-
er whispered, as he was about to depart.
"Lie still,- and we'll collect you for Queen's
eVidenco." Then, taking Laura : by the
heed, the two crept cautiously along, fol-
lowing the feel (lithe rails by their feet.
For a full half hour the two etrocle on-
wards, ever down by a gentle descent. The
place was in dersest darkness, and they
dared not strike a light. Sudcleuly; how-
ever, the tunnel took a swift turn, and the
next moment Laura and her partner stood
in a subdued flood of light. •
The scene betore them was an extraordin-
ary one. They were in a smell, natural
cave, and tbeir trained eyes could see at a
glance thatone . of its sides was seamed
with a dusky , red scar, the hall -mark of
reef gold. In -tho. centre of the cave the
' trolley stood with the safe still untoluched,
and the lantern flashing its flieketing light
on the sullen, wealthy walls. By the side
of the trolley, the two men, Alec Johnson
and Jacobs, were wrestling in deadly com-
bat, each with knife in hannd, hard gripped
and writhing in the other's clasp. The ef-
fect was almost instantaneous, for even; as
Jos and,Laura entered, the two struggiing
men felllwith a crash, Johnson uppermost,
Jacobs lying helplessly entangled and
strangely still between the wheels, whore a
thin red pool began to grow.
Johnson' l knife was held on high, and
he snarled travagely.
" Did yolathink I'd chuck old Joe to
share with such a whitedivered---" then
he paused, his eyes catching the growing
pool of redahis seine numbly eoneeious of
the other's blay-like 'inertness. He shrank
back, hastily rising to his fcet, and furtive -
• ' •
• !
ly shoving his knife into his belt. Then
with a swiftnfearful glance he turned round
-and looked straight into the barrels of
Jos Leslie's revolvers.
"Hands up, Alec Johnson !" said Joe's
crisp, snarling tones, "No palaver!
Hands up !"
Johnson obeyed, mechanically, stupidly, his
eyes fixed on the strange apparition at Les-
lie's side. The girl's face, white, rigid,
avenging, her great blazing eyes, the thin
scarlet thread of her compressed lips, par-
alyzed him. He found no room for thought,
much less for resistance. And as in obedi-
ence to Joe's bidding, her empty revolver
covered him, he suffered himself to be bound
to the trolley by Jos's truety knote.
Jos'a task was scarcely completed when a
rush of feet wee heard, and the next mo-
ment the cave was flooded with light and
men, conspicuous among whom was Jack
Harrison's towering figure and excited face.
"You !" he gasped, falling back at the
sight of Laura, as the police agents rushed
on Leslie and secured him. "You 1"
" Yes, Jack," she answered, simply. -" I
struck this trail to -night, and -Jos --and I fol-
lowed them." Explanations were speedily
exchanged, and as the police agents heard
how the girl and man had held up the gang,
their fleet suspicions changed into hearty
congratulations. Nor was their content
diminished when they heard of the scheme
ef the mine. For the bank manager, having
been by chance in his office at the moment
when the safe disappeared bodily from his
view, had promptly telephoned the police,
at once hitting on the plan of the hhievea.
They bad followed the way of the safe,
struck the trolley lines and arrived as has
been shown, all unconscious of the deadly
peril that, save for Joe's little bit of garrot-
ing, had sent them all on another path.
As the agents took off Johnson and the
still -unconscious Jacobs, Harrison lingered
a moment behind with the girl.
Won't you say 'yes' even now,
Laura?" he begged, as his arm stole around
her waist.
Laura looked at him, e roguish smile
about her lips and demurely veiled eyes.
"Do you think," she answered, pointing
to the dull glowing of the reef gold, "do
you think it will pay a dividend of ten per
cent?"
Then with a sudden twist releasing her-
self, she turtted to Jos, standing stiffly by.
" What do you think, dear old Jos?
Will it pay ten per bent ?"
" There s never no knowing," he said,
gruffly," how them kind of dividends run.
It may be ten, or fifty, or a hundred, or
agen it may be nothing -or wens. But I
guess it might be worth trying."
And if as he walked up the tunnel again
there was a strange moisture about his eyes,
there was a still stranger .smile about his
lips, in which no cynicism mingled, and it
was in Jack Harrison's hand that Laura's
rested as they walked down the mountain
path to her shanty."

WHEAT PROVINCE AGAIN.
William Lloyd, of Oakville; Cur_
ed by Dodd's Kidney Pills,
- the Favorite Medicine
of the Northwest.
OAKVILLE, Man., July 30. -There is no
doubt about it, Dodd's Kidney Pills have
become the most indispensable medicine of
Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.
The latest case reported is that of William
Lloyd, of Oakville. Mr. Lloyd had Dia,
betea. For three years he tried to cure him-
self. A doctor in Portage la Prairie tried
in vain to cure him. Mr. Lloyd lost thirty
pounds in three months, and thirst made
his life a burden.
"1 am taking Dodd's Kidney Pills regu-
larly," he says, " three time3 a day, and
am picking up very feat. My thirst has
left me, and I do not pass half so much
urine. I have taken six boxes and intend
to take more. I am fifty-five years old, but
I am confident vodd's Kidney Pills are cur-
ing me."

The Absent-minded Man.
Many stories are told of the absent-
mindedness of the late Dr. McAllister, rec-
tor of Trinity church, Elizabeth, and
brother of the late Ward McAllister. One
night he was returning to Elizabeth from
New York, and, took a train which was not
echeduledto etop at his station. Discover-
ing his mistake he appealed to the conduct-
or, being anxious to get word to his wife.

Does It Pay to Be Polite.
The outer door to the office building was
a massive affair that swung either way.
The man who (intones was in a hurry, but
he considerately looked behind him to see
that he did not let it swing in the face of
any tile who might be following.
The woman who was following seemed t�
be paying no attention to the door, so the
man held it open for her to enter.
The thought that occurred to the woman
just as she got in the doorway appeared to
make her doubtful as to whether she wished
to go in or out.
The man still held the door open.
The woman said : "1 wonder if I have
the paper that he told me to bring to this
office," and began to search through the
little bag that she carried i s her hand.
The man said -well, never mind what the
man said. He still kept _the door open in
order to prevon it from sweeping the wo-
man into the st eet.
The woman found the Paper she was
after and looke across the steeet, as if un-
certain whethe she had the right address,

Ans-weri og His Own Letters.
A ourious an amusing story is being told
respecting a young man who, being the chief
of the audi ing department of a cer-
tain railway company, had occasion
recently to dictate a letter to the
head of a c rresponding department of
another railwa . There was a, point in dis-
pute between the two companies involving
money, and t mis young official had taken
the stubborn round that the other official
was totally a fault, and advanced what
seemed to hl unanswerable arguments to
prove it.
A short tim after he had forwarded the
letter he received an offer of a situation
from the other railway company, which he
accepted, and within a few days he became
the head of t e department with which he
had been in di pate. The first letter which
he found on th file ready to be answered
was his own o the point in question. ,
There was o ly one thing to do. He im-
mediately dic ated an answer to his own
letter, refutiu and repudiating its argu-
ments, and wo nd up by the suggestion that
the writer did not know his business. The
letter was ad • reseed to himself and signed
by hirneelf.- ondon Tit -Bits.

complex foods carelessly and hastily, and
you will see at a glance the conditions that
necessieate a complete rest every now and

" In my close observation in the lash
twenty years I find very few people in our
common struggle for existence who can for
any length of time eat carelessly of complex
foods. At forty or fifty a man may per-
haps have accuniulated wealth, but not
health; and of what earthly use is the firat
without the second? Many persons in thes
generation gorebefore have eaten pies at

rushed at our pace. They gave more time

recommend these Hell foods rarely know:

Speak Out.
Self -repression is the special &eager of
sensitive and refined natures. There are a
great many people to whom frank speech
about their own affairs is extremely dis-
tasteful. Their instinct is to remain en-
tirely silent about themeelves, and, melees
the instinct is trained, the habit of silence
becomes fixed. This is a miefertune in
many ways. Expression is one of the !awe
of nature, and that a man or woman should
speak to those about them of what presees
most closely on their own hearts and con-
cerns moat ,closely their own lives, is as
normal as that, the tree should put forth
leaves or that the birds should sing. We
cannot violate a law of nature without some
kind of injury to ourselves, and the failure
to give constant and full expression to our
lives means some kind of loss to us. We
miss something which we should otherwise
have posseased. Some kind of -health is
sacrificed when, that 'which was meant to
flow fret ly is pent up and remains stagnant.
One of the great ends of life is expression.
The heart or mind that is absolutely eelf-
contained may _gather much, but it sows
nothing ; and its own development is ar-
rested, just as the development of the arm
is arrested when one ceases to use it. A
perfectly healthy nature speaks out frankly,
clearly and fully whatever is deepest in it;
any form of concealment becomes repugnant
to ib: and while it must retain a certain
reserve in disclosing the things that
are most intimate and pirsonal, so far
as all its relations to others are caneerned
it will insist upon clear and complete
muteal understanding. We wrong our-
selves and those closest to us when we fail
to talk out things that are of common in-
terest. Half the problems that perplex us
would disappear if they were only openly
discuseed with those nearest ansi best quali-
fied to comprehend and advise; half the
misunderstandings in life that lead to

serious results some, not from any kind et
treachery nor from any wrong doing, but
simply from the lack of frankness and
candor, and therefore from' that complete
understanding of motives and purposes
which prevents misconception. The _man
who finds his nature tending to silence and
repression ought: sedulously to set about
overcoming the tendency; he ought ter
force himself to talk freely with those who
are his intimates about all matters which
concern himself. In this way the pressure
of pent up emotions will ofteu fiud a natural
relaxation, and the confused and bewildered .
thought will find the path plainly marked
out. In all our relations to those who are
closest to us in the family sr in the ranks of
-
friendship, complete understanding through
frankness and candor are duties of the firse
importance. The nature which acquires'
this freedom of expression will rarely find
itself misunderstood or misrepreeented, and --
will rarely become eeither over intense in
feeling or morbid in thought.

A Dog's Sagacity.
A correspondent of the London Spectator
sends that paper the following anecdote.
He says :
" The airecilete comes from a distinguish-
ed naval officer, and is best given in his
own words: "This is what happened to a
spaniel of mine. It was given to our chil-
dren as a puppy about three or four enontbe
old, and we have had it about five or -eix
months, making it about ten months old.
It was born about three miles from here, at
Hertford, and has never been anywhere but
from one home to the other. When the
time came for breaking him in for shooting
purposee, I sent him to a keeper at Leigh--
ton-Buzzird, and, to insure a safe arrival,
sent the dog with my man -servant te the
train here, and thence to King's Crowe He
walked with the dog to Euston station,
turned him over to the guard of the 12.15
train, and the animal duly arrived at Leigh-
ton -Buzzard at L30, and was there met by
the keeper and -ak-en to his home about
three miles cff. That was on the Friday.
On the following Tuesday, the deg having
been with him three full days, he took him
out in the morning with hie gun, and at 8
o'clock on Wednesday morning (that being
the following day) the deg appeared here,
rather dirty, and looking as if he had tray-
ellel seine distance, which he undoubtedly
had There is no doubt that, this puppy of
ten months old was sent away, certainly
forty or fifty milts as the crow flies, and
that he returned here in a day. How he
did it no oee can sav, but it is, nevertheless,
a fact. It would be interesting to know
his /Outs and to trace his adventures. This
anecdote is the more remarkable in eon-
ee uence of the extreme youth of the dog,
and partieularly as he belongs to a breed of
sporting digs which are not generally
sidcred to rank among the most intelligent
of the species."
