THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY. JULY 4. 1896.
A QUESTION of CO UR AGE
''"''.'': " .VIII. ...'"".::
' A ST7BTEBBAKEAK METAMOKPHOSIB.
. When Ringbrand opened his eyes he
found himself lying on his . back in
what appeared to be the bottom of a
well; at least,. that was- his second im
invasion.'': With the first gleams of re-
- turning consciousness there was . no
recollection of the, events immediately
preceding his fall,.' and for a moment
he had a vague idea that he had
stumbled and hurt himself in the road,
and that the clouds had covered all but
the small patch of sky directly over
head where the stars were still visible,
Then memory came back,' and he re
called the details of the capture up to
the sudden blank following the plunge
into the hole between the bowlders. A
sharp twinge of pain bridged the in
terval and. reminded him that there
were two present and pressing sources
of discomfort in the gnarled log across
- which he was lying and in the vice-like
pressure of the rope which still bound
his arms to his sides. To wriggle out
of the uncomfortable position was easy,
but loosening the rope was another mat
ter. The knot had been drawn tight
. by the jerk of his fall, and it was an
hour or more before he succeeded in
working it around where it could b
reached; even when this was done, it
was only a beginning, and the first faint
streaks of dawn were filtering through
the aperture overhead when he finally
rose stiflly and swung his arms to start
. the suspended circulation. " " -'
.In a little while it was light enough
. to enable him to see his surroundings,
and he found that he was imprisoned in
a crevice-cave much like the one he had
- explored two days before. It occurred
to him at once that it might be a con
tinuation of the same cavern, or that
possibly he might be in the very
chamber into which he had tried to
penetrate; but this seemed unlikely, for
two reasons. One was that he could
. not make the locality of the McXabb
tunnel agree with the general direction
of his wanderings of thenightprevious;
and the other was even more convinc-
mg, for, while his cell terminated at one
. extremity in a narrow iissure like the
one in which he had lost the pick and
- the lamp, he could not find the missing
articles, though he lost no time in mak
ing a careful search for them. In do
ing this, however, he stumbled upon
another discovery which was of much
more immediate importance: reaching
down into the crannies of the fissure,
his hand found a pool of water, and he
drank gratefully, dipping up the cool
liquid by spoonfuls in his hollowed
palm.
After this, he gave an hour to minute
examination of the boundaries of . his
prison, scrutinizing the walls and care
fully weighing every possible chance of
escape. At the end of this preliminary
survey he sat down upon tiic log, which
proved to be. the trunk of a small tree
hurled by some accident of wind or
lightning through the opening above,
and began to go over the events of the
past 'few days, in the hope of finding
something to account for the mysteri
ous attack and imprisonment. . - In this
effort he racked his brain to little pur
pose, and, nfter repeatedly scouting the I
idea as absurd, he finally accepted the
conclusion that the Bynums hud in
some manner connected him with the
fortunes of their enemies, and had
taken prompt measures to deprive the
Iiatimers of a possible ally.
"If that's the case," he mused, speak
ing aloud for the sake of the companion
ship of his own voice, "what do they
mean to do with me?. If they, had
wanted to kill me, they certainly had it
all their own way last night; a very
small domestic cat would have inad,; a
better resistance than I did. Xo, that
isn't it; they don't meanmurder; they're
only trying to get me out of the way
for awhile. And -the next thing is, for
how long? . Keeping in view the com
forting conclusion that they don't ,
intend making away with me, the ques
tion will answer itself in a few hours
at the most, for they haven't given me
anything to eat. Which reminds me
that I'm pretty hungry, now ; " he looked
ruefully at his watch. "Tom Ludlow
had his breakfast two hours ago, and
at the present moment, I suppose, he's
sitting in his office with the-comfortable
under-thought that it'll be dinner
time before long. Lucky fellow, not
to know what it is to sit in a crack in
the face of the earth, speculating on the
ttoubtfu? possibilities of future meal
times. WelL I presume the next thing
is to decide whether or not I'm to sit
here and wait for some one to come and
pull me out; and if I'm not, what's the
alternative? Let's have another look
at the resources." ". x
Afttr-overhauling the rope and coil
ing it beside the log, he searched his
pockets, bu found nothing useful
therein, except a small penknife.
"There they are say 40 feet of rope, a
piece of wood six or seven feet long, and
a ' toy pocketknif e ; and this hole . is
about 30 feet deep, I should- judge.
There isn't very much to -work with,
but Tve pulled many a hero out of worse
scrapes than this with much less." f -'
,he humor of the comparison: pro-
voked a laugh, .and then he wondered
what had become of his "depression of
.the previous . day. ' The explanation
came suddenly when he ran his solilo
quy back to the point where he had con
cluded that his connection with the
".LatJmers was the reason for the assault
upon him.- It seemed in a way to bring
him "nearer, to Hester, and -for a time
there was a cheerful enthusiasm in the
thought that other and compelling
hands had pushed him over the dividing
Jine between his pusillanimous resolu
tion to rarf away and an'active partici
pation in the' quarrel which involved
her' family. iThere was'little comfort
ia . the contemplation of the- part he
might be required to take in the feud;
the-battle was still to be fought with
his weakness, and he had the fresh and
humiliating example of a few hours be
fore to remind him that he had not yet
made a beginning. The recollection
of this discouraged him again, and all
the arguments : that . had - presented
themselves in defense of his plan of re
treat came back with redoubled empha
sis. He was not sure that Hester loved
him; if she did, she would despise him
when she found him out; it would be
inexcusably wrong for him to win her
love under false pretenses; she had told
him only last night what she would ex
pectin theman of herchoice. He pushed
the tormenting thoughts " aside, -and
brought "himself down r with a jerk to
the present and its demands. . ' "I'm not
going to dispute with the weak-kneed
devil any more,' he muttered; "the first
thing to do is to get out of here, and,
then I'll leave it with her; if she honors
me enough to make me her defender,
I'll make a shift to fight her battles if
I have to hire some one to hold me
while I do it." V-?'"
Under the inspiration of this conclu
sion he went to work patiently and res
olutely, trying the first plan that sug
gested itself.. Using his knife for a
chisel,' he attempted to cut niches for
hand and foot holds in the wall, perse
vering until both blades of the small
tool were worn down ' to useless
stumps. When the failure of the knife
put an end to the expedient, he exam
ined the narrower part of the crevice to
see if he could not climb to the roof by
bracing himself from wall to wall: As
it was reasonably evident that the cav
ern had originally been nothing more
than an irregular crack in the sand
stone, open at the top through its en
tire length, and afterward gradually
covered in by slow accumulations of
earth and debris interwoven with twigs
and grass roots, he argued that it would
be comparatively easy to dig through
this thin covering if he could obtain a
foothold near enough to the roof to en
able him to attack it. To make the
most of his strength, he dragged the log
to the place selected for the experi
ment, with the intention of -using it for
a ladder from which to begin the as
cent; and, having braced it against one
of the walls, he took off his coat and,
shoes and made an attempt' to work his
way up. the desired vantage-ground..
I he iirst trial was a failure. He lost
his hold before he had ascended - to
twice his height.and slid back to the
sandy floor of the crevice; but there
was enough of a promise of success in
the undertaking to make him wear
.way the remainder of the day in re
peated endeavors, and to encourage him
to try again and again, even after the
long abstinence from food had begun
to have its effect on his tired muscles
and overstrained nerves. The final at
tempt, made just at dusk, carried hira
to within a few feet of the roof; but the
darkness baffled him; he again lost his
hold, and it was only by the utmost ex
ertion of his failing strength that he
.saved himself from falling heavily to
the bottom of the cavern. As it was, he
knocked the log down in his descent,
and, realising that nothing could be
done without the help of daylight, he
lay down in the sand and tried to go to
sleep. . '.
Lying there in the darkness and lis
tening to : the microscopic noises sift
ing through the entrance to the cave,
he fancied he heard a sound as of some
light object falling upon the sand. He,
first thought of wild beasts, but, reflecting-
that no animal large enough to
attack him would be likely to'fhter the
trap-like crevice, the incident was soon
forgotten in a train of suggestions hav
ing the indistinct noises of the day for
a st arting-point.. Now that he recalled
thorn, he remembered hearing sounds
like the echoes of dull blows at iregii-
lur intervals all through the day, and
lie speculated over their probable crijriri
until weariness overcame him and he
fell into a doze from which the growl
ing of the rising storm awakened him.
Since there seemed to be a sort of com
panionship in the roll of the thunder
and the sweep of the wind,' he sat up to
listen, and in one of the lulls he thought
he heard a voice at the mouth of the cav
ern. , Wondering i his captors were
coming 10 ii Derate mm, ne got upon
his feet and felt his way to the farther
end of the cell, standing under the aper
ture and staring up into the gloom.
While ' he stood there' listening "and
looking, a small star of yellow light
made its appearance at the extreme end
of the rocky corridor,and he saw the
shadows of two faces framed between
the walls of the narrow slit in which the
chamber terminated. His first impulse
was to make his presence known; but
before he had taken a step he recoiled
in horror at the sight of a gun barrel
thrust through' the crevice above the
wavering star of light." ' ' '
Under some conditions mental proc
esses are instantaneous. Itingbrand
saw and understood the purpose of his
enemies as clearly as if his sentence had I
been pronounced with formal verbiage.
With the understanding came a fren
zied fit of terror, and he. shrunk with
chattering teeth and trembling limbs
into the deepest recesses of the-eave;
the wavering light danced in fantastic
gyrations before his fascinated gaze;
a noise like the beating of a hundred
drums filled his ears; and he could feel
the cold perspiration, pricking, from
every pore. The suspense was horri
ble, and for a few moments he thought
he should die from the very abjectness
of his fear; then suddenly he' felt a
sharp pang as if something' had given
way in his brain, and the overpowering
nausea of terror vanished as if by magic.
In its place, came a strange feeling of
exaltation that sent the blood tingling
to his finger tips; the roaring in his
cars ceased, and his sight became once
more keen and steady. "Springing to
hid feet, he drew the colonel's revolver
from bis pocket and took careful and
deliberate aim - at the face behind the
yellow star of light; his finger pressed
the trigger, and the- crash of a double
detonation filled the cavern. ; With the
flash and the. report the light disap
peared, -and he felt a sting of pain in
hla arm; he knew he was wounded, but
the hurt seemed only to augment the
j
Bs drew the Calmer revolver and took careful
violence of the fit -of ferocity that had
taken complete : possession of him.
Mushing toward the point where the
light had disappeared, he wedged him
self into the crevice, grinding his teeth
in impotent rage when he found that
he could not reach far enough to get
the range for a second shot.
To be continued. .

Clonlne of a Beooeeafal Term of School.
The parents and friends of thescholars
of the Mill creek school gathered at the
school house last Friday, (June 26) for
the porpot,e of attending' the ' last day
exercises, which were very much en
joted and did credit to both teacher add
scholars. Miss Ida M. .Foss, of xiood
River,, has been very, successful in her
work as teacher of . this district, and
both parents and scholars extended to
her the kindest wishes, and all are en
thusiastic in the success of this term of
work. - '.;'.": '
The report of the district to the county
school superintendent shows that Katie
Sandoz, Arnolds Sandoz and Milton

the termmnd that Julius and Alex: San
doz reached the highest mark in deport
ment, their standing being 99; while all
the other scnolars' standing in deport
ment was above 90. -V - ' , ;
The parents have taken: great interest
in the school this term, as the large
number of visits reported will show.
and herein may be attributed part of
the success. When all, teacher, parents
