C43 THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY. MAY 9, 1896. ICopyrlght. 1895. by J. B. Lrpplncott Co. "1 shouldn't1 have put it in any Buch uncharitable form," responded Ludlow, reflectively, "but, since you've men tioned it, I'll say what's been in my inind ever since you told me what brought you to Tregarthen. Hester Latimer's husband will have to do one of two things help fight the family battles or refuse to have anything to do with them. The first may cost him his life, and the last will be very sure to cost him his happiness; I'm no hand to meddle, ns you know, Hugh, but it's well enough to consider these things "before it's too late." "That's the pity of it, Tom," replied Ringbranxl, quietly. . "I'm afraid it's too late now. I realized two things pretty clearlv last nirrht one was that life without Hester wouldn't be worth living, and the other was that I'd rather die than have her find me out for what lam." you haven't any good reason for think in r t.nnt vnil lire " "A coward say it, Tom; I ought to be able to bear the truth, and that is the truth. I know it; I've known it all along, only I've been trying to make i ex. t Tl,o' myseix uciiuve iu wuau u bu. a m a what was at the bottom of all those little things you remember in the uni versity daj's; you don't know how I despise myself when I think of it all." "No, I don't remember anything but what I said a. moment ago that you -were always a peaceable sort of fellow." "That isn't it; it's one thing to be peaceable from principle, and quite an other to be restrained by a wholesome fear of consequences. It's always been the latter with me. I can look back over my life and see how I've been con tinually dodging. When I was a little fellow, the fear of a whipping was the strongest incentive to good behavior, and the same argument has held good ever since. You know that, Tom, if you'd only admit it." ".No, I don't know anything of the kind," protested Ludlow. "Well, it's true. You remember that affair with Turnlmll in the last year when he went out of his way to insult me. ' You took occasion to praise my self-control, but I want to tell you now that it was the merest sham; I was afraid to resent it, and that's the truth." "Nonsense!" retorted Ludlow; "you did just right not to demean yourself by fighting with a cub of an under graduate." "I'm not arguing about that it's the motive; it was cowardice, pure and simple; there's no other name for it. What are you laughing at?" "It's amusing to hear you vilify your self. But seriously, Hugh, this is a word for it that you're properly in love with Hester Latimer; if she docs you the honor to return your affection which, I take it, is not yet a foregone conclusion why, you're a lucky fel low, and you sho.uld be thankful enough to'fight her battles, and those of her father and brother if need be. It may not require such a phenomenal degree of physical courage, but it'll ask" for some of the moral variety; and there's always a wide possibility that it'll de mand both in heroic proportions, i! I were in your place I should fight the battle beforehand ; then, if you find you're not going to be up to it, the hon orable thing is to pull out while the girl is yet fancy free. That's pretty straight talk; but you know me of old, and you have invited frankness." They were nearing the furnace yard, and Eingbrand did not reply until they reached the gate; then he grasped Lud low's hand and pressed it warmly. "You're a good friend, Tom. I'll think it over and try to do as you advise Only if I can't bring myself up to the mark, you mustn't be surprised if I should drop out unexpectedly. I don't believe I could face you or Mrs. Ludlow after that." "Thinking it over" asked for solitude and quiet surroundings; and after leaving Ludlow, Eingbrand walked on np the valley, skirting the base of the mountain until he came to a rough cart road leading toward the summit, ne took it because it plunged into the forest and offered shade; and after that he paid little attention to direction or distance until he found himself before what appeared to be an abandoned mine. The mouth of the opening was choked up with broken timbers and masses of rock, and on a board nailed to a tree growing out of a crevice just above the tunnel arch he read: "Mc- Nabb Tunnel, T. C. & I. Co." The name brought back Ludlow's story of the feud and the lawsuit, and he examined the place with awakening interest. From the small cleared space in front of the working ho could sec the extent of the cove with its shelving sides pitch ing down toward the yellow fields in the center; and, as there was but one house in sight in the bowllike depres sion, he concluded at once that it was the home of the Bynums. Turning again to the tunnel, he found that by scrambling over the pile of debris in the entrance he could reach a place where the height of the excavation permitted him to stand upright; and when his eyes became accustomed to the dim half-light, he looked about him with the observant curiosity of one who sees latent possibilities for the collecting of literary material from the most ' commonplace surroundings. There was little to be seen save the ragged walls of coal and a few rusty mining tools; the heading stopped ab ruptly about 30 feet from the entrance, and the excavation was a mere irreg ular gap in the edge of the thick seam of coal. While he was examining a miner's lamp which he found sticking in a crevice, he felt a breath of cold air which seemed to come from above, and, looking up, he saw a narrow rift in the sandstone roof of the tunnel from which the draught appeared to issue. Lighting the lamp and thrust ing it up into the aperture on the end of a stick, he could see that the rift widened above the opening and that it extended indefinitely into the mountain at right angles to the direction of the tunnel. The opportunities for further exploration seemed promising, and Eingbrand, yielding to an inquisitive impulse, drew himself up into the crev ice by the help of a coal pick. By the smoky flare of the lamp he could see that he was standing in a natural tifn nel of considerable height, running crosswise of the coal working and com municating with it by the aperture through which he had entered. As it was evident that the latter opening was artificial or accidental, he deter mined to ascertain if there was any other means of egress from the cavern. Turning to the left, the exploration came shortly to an end against a wall of broken rock and detritus which completely filled the crevice; re tracing his steps, he pushed forward in the opposite direction, meeting with no obstacle. for a considerable distance. The cleft was of irreg ular width, but its walls were perpen dicular and smooth, rising above his head until their outlines were lost in the gloom. At several points they ap proached, each other so nearly that he had some difficulty in squeezing through; but after the passage of one 01 tne narrowest 01 mese rocky straits he came out into a large chamber, in which the murky darkness was diluted by a thin stream of sunlight filtering through a hole in the roof. He stood gazing upward at the small aperture far above, wondering if it could be used as an entrance without 'the" help of a rope ladder. The question had scarcely taken shape before its answer appeared in the form of a double row of rude niches cut in the wall and run ning in irregular lines up to the gash in the roof. In the fine damp sand at his feet he saw the imprint of a man's boot, and there were many more of them just beyond it. The explorer ex amined them carefully, and then sat down upon a rock to classify his find ings. "I wonder if I haven't stumbled upon something that'll help Ludlow out?" he mused. "This is evidently an entrance to the coal mine that he doesn't know about. It's quite clear By the smoky flare of the lamp he could see that he was standing In a natural tunnel. that it has been used, too, and some one has taken a deal of trouble to make it available. I wonder if there's any other way but of the place? I suppose there isn't." He rose "and walked across the cham ber to the point where the crevice ap peared to continue its way into the mountain. There was a narrow slit showing that the cleft extended still farther, but the contracted passage was only a few inches in width. Fastening the hook of the lamp upon one of thi points of the pick, he pushed the light into the crevice as far as he could reach, and by this means was able to discern the dim outlines of another chamber similar to the one in which he was standing. In moving the light about to get a better view, the lamp tumbled off and rolled out of reach; and in en deavoring to recover it with the pick the point of the latter became so firm ly fixed in a crack in the rock that he was unable to extricate it. "That was a bright thing to do," he said, pausing to wipe the perspiration from his forehead. "I suppose it would have been all the same if my life had depend ed upon that trumpery excuse for a light. Fortunately, I can get out either way without it." He elected to go back by the way he had c6me, and when he was once more in the open air he found that he had just time to walk back to Tregarthen before dinner. On the way down the mountain he debated with himself as to whether it were best to tell Ludlov. of his discovery at once. There was no apparent reason why he should not do so, but he argued that there was aiso no occasion for haste; a delay of a few days could make no difference, and in that time he might be able to gather additional information which would fit into the discovery and so make it more valuable. Taking this view of the matter, he determined to say nothing to Ludlow about the exist ence of the crevice-cave; and in reach ing this conclusion he forged the first link in a chain that was to bind him at a time when he would have given life itself for an hour of freedom. It'll nw. f' ' n i'v w fi 1 m uiu ' wn 11 n Passing the furnace on his way to the village, he called for Ludlow, and they walked home together. In answer to his friend's question, Eingbrand replied that he had spent the forenoon on the mountain. "I've been thinking about the story you told me this morning, he added. "Can't you give me more of the details?" "About the feud, you mean?" "Yes." Ludlow complied by giving a minute account of the rise and progress of the vendetta, repeating his suspicions about the agency of the Bynums in re tarding the work of the McISabb. "What reasons have you for suspect ing them?" asked Eingbrand. "No one else had any motive for in' terfering with us, and I am sure that some one blew down the. roof of the tunnel more than once." "How can you be sure of that?" "I saw the marks of the blasts, and I smelled black powder; our workmen were using nothing but dynamite. Be sides I questioned some of the people living in the valley near the McNabb. and several of them had heard the ex-, plosions." "Did you have the tunnel guarded at night?" "No; I didn't reach any conclusion about it until just as we had decided to abandon the work. Yt'hen we be gin again, as I expect to within a few days I shall leave a watchman- up there at night. "The place will ask for a brave man "I can find one," rejoined Ludlow cheerfully. Don t you want the job? "I'm afraid I shouldn't be of mucli use; but I'll take it, if you say so." Ludlow looked incredulous. "That doesn't sound much like the line you took this morning. "No, I know it doesn't; but perhaps I m a little like the man who wanted a drink of whisky in order to ascer tain what effect it would have on him. I've tried moral suasion on my weak ness until I'm convinced there's no virtue in that kind of treatment, and ft has occurred to me that a heroic dose of carnage may be what is needed." "It may be, but I shouldn't go around hunting for the occasion if I were you," replied Ludlow, holding the gate open. "Perhaps I'll have to," said Eing brand, as they entered the house. "Pos sibly the occasion will hunt me." To be continued. Horticultural Party. Poets have eung the joys of winter hospitality, when the enow storm roars outside and the logs in the fireplace roar inside, and the bright welcome is only equalled by the bright cheer of happy guests as they thaw their frozen mem bers by the ingleside. We Oregonians do not have any of these joys, but the ladies who were the recipients of the gracious hospitality of Mrs. French and Mrs. J. W. Condon do not feel there was anything missing. Great bowls of bril liant tulips, vases of geraniums, banks of pansies are very satisfactory substi tutes for the winter ornaments of icicles and snow banks. The floral decorations of the beautiful parlors, in their profu sion and grace, made one forget the stiff wind outside. The amusement of the afternoon, aside from the merry talk, was decidedly horticultural, and several of the guests went home able to think of many more names oi tree than they could when the contest began. Mrs. Fish, owing to the happy accident of the long straw, and good guessing, was the fortunate recipi ent of the prize, a potted "silk oak." When next the Dalles ladies pass an ex animation on their horticultural knowl edge tuey will know that to be heard talking of "cashew" is not a sure sign one is taking la grippe. The guests were : Mesdames Thorn bury, Hudson, Kiner;"ly, Curtis, Wood, Wilson, W H Wilson, B S Huntington, Varney, Cushing.Hobson, Lewis, Glenn Crowe, A R Thompson, Crandall, S Bolton, Herbert, Gibons, Harden, Don nell, M Z Donnell, Shackelford, Bennett Garretson, Hostetler, Brooks, Myers, D M French, J B Condon, Wm Michell, Bradshaw, Crossen, Bayley, Cooper, Pease; Doane, Patterson, Price, Morgan, Funk, O B Funk, L M Funk, T J Seu fert, Fish, Blakeley, Lytle, Barnett, Butler, T Butler, Schenck, Sheldon, Fairfowl, Lang, Moody, Grime?, Vause, Hollister, Laughlin, Houghton, Dun ham, McFarland, Corson, J M Hough ton, Lord, Mioses Alice Hostetler, Fanny Condon.

The lodge contains several old line insurance men, so whenever any of these are placed on the program they are always put down for a "talk." Messrs.
