THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY. AUGUST 8. 1896. ; '
A QUESTION of COURAGE
To his great astonishment, the word
seemed to bring an answer from, the
upper world, and he ran to the other
end of the cavern to listen. The halloo
was repeated, and he answered it with
all the strength of his lungs; once again
he heard the cry, but this time it was
:fainter, and after that the silence was
undisturbed. Alive to the im;ortance
of titilizingevery moment of time, King
brand returned to his work; but the ex-
. piring glimmer of the hope raised by
the answering shout left, a feeling of
depression which - would have un-
. manned him had he known that one of
the searching miners had actually
looked down into the cavern , at the
moment when he was climbing down
from the first step of his problematical
stair. '
Fitting the first round of the ladder
from the solid standing ground offered
hy the bottom of the cave was much
easier than the adjustment of the sec
ond, but Kingbrand had his plans well
thought out now. and he worked care
fully and methodically, saving the pre
cious moments in every possible way.
Climbing to a seat upon the round al
ready - placed, he hoisted the other
piece of wood after him by means of
the rope; and, balancing upon the pre
carious footing, he succeeded after
many cautious trials in hewing out a
resting place for the second step in
Lis stairway. With the fixing of this
round, however, the difficulties immedi
ately doubled, because the subsequent
steps must be fitted each from theslight
scaffolding afforded by the other. Mak
ing a final trip to the floor of the cavern,
Ringbrajid tied one end of the rope to
the pick, and, carrying the other end
with him, he ascended and fastened
it to the first piece, of wood. Then,
climbing to the second, he repeated
the former oeration. dislodging the
Jower round by gentle upward blows
with the swinging pick aud drawing
it up until he could grasp and raise it
lo a point still higher in the cavern.
The plan was completely successful,
Irat its slow progress consumed the
time remorselessly, and the strain of
Avork nnd anxiety began to tell upon him.
lie fought desperately against the ris
ing fever of impatience, knowing well
though that everything now depended
ii Don his ability to tro on with persist
cut determination and with steady
hands. As he nearcd the roof of the
ea vera, where the shadows were deeper,
the difficulty of placing the cross-pieces
increased so greatly that he grew faint
and dizzy with lifting and reaching;
and while he was raising the last step
in the stair to its place between the
walls, he suddenly "neenme blind and
tremulous, the heavy log slipped from
his hands and went crashing to the bot
tom of the ehasm. and a second after
ward he lost his balance and followed
it, catching frantically at the uneven
walls as he slid back to the sandy floor.
The sharpest, discouragement is
sometimes a blessing in disguise. The
ihock of the fall and the apparent fail
ure, of his carefully laid plan seemed
to inspire Ring-brand with an energy
lorn. of despair. Struggling to his
feet, and gathering new courage from
the thought that the other end of the
roue whs still fastened to the remain
ing round in the upper shadows, he
lashed tha stick that had fallen to the
end to which the pick was attached,
and climbed once more to the perch
iii the twilight under the roof. Fired
with an enthusiasm which banished
all thought of fatigue, he soon had the
swaying log in his grasp again, and
after a moment of critical poising the
last step was wedged into its place
"and driven securely home by a few
blows with the pick. Without wait
ing to test its stability, he swung up to
the frail staging, drew the pick up after
him, and balanced himself for the at
tack upon the roof. Just at this junc
ture the thought suddenly came to him
that he had built his ladder upon the
jnere supposition that the roof was ns
sailable, and an awful fear that instead
of yielding earth he might encounter
a huge bowlder almost unnerved him.
There was no time for hesitation, how
vcr, and, summoning all his strength,
he swung the pick upward, giving a
glad cry of relief and a hearty "Thank
iod!" when the iron tore a great hole
through the thin covering, bringing
down a shower of earth and pebbles
upon him, and letting the blessed light
of day into the gloomy shadows of the
pit.
- uiiuulc mi:! ut: wim siaiiiung. De
grimed and breathless, but heart whole
and thankful, upon the firm turf of the
mountain top; and, pausing only -long
enough to get his bearings, he set off
at a quick trot toward Tregarthen, tak
ing a straight course through the for
est and keeping the direction by the
red glow of the sunset.
XII.
The leader of the unsuccessful party
of searchers was just finishing his sup
per, in the- intervals of which delayed
meal he had been giving his wife a de
tailed narration of the events of the
day. "And now I suppose I've got to
?,o and put in the night at the Mc
A'abb," he added. "These raids have
got to be stopped, if "
"Mrs. Ludlow held up a warning fin
ger. "I thought that was our gate,"
j-:he said, and presently they both heard
the quick nervous tread of" some one
coming tip the graveled walk. Then
there was a step on the veranda, and
Iwfore either of them could rise a grimy,
apparition appeared at the door of the
dining-room. Ludlow sprang to his
feet with an exclamation of glad sur
prise. "By Jove, old fellow, but you did give
roe a turn! lie exclaimed, prasnins'thp
apparition's hand -and wringing it
heartily. . "I thought it was : your,
ghost I did, for a fact; and. I believe
the small madam thinks so yet. Helen,
dear, wake un and allow me to intro
duce Mr. Rii)rhranrl." " .-!
. Irs. Ludlow rose unsteadily and ran
! up. laughing and crying in the same
breath. "You foolish man!" she said,
pushing her husband aside impetuous
ly,' "can't you see that Hugh's nearly
dead? cud you stand there making
j oiir miserable jokes! Why don't you
run for the doctor, quick?!'. . -
. In spite of the dreadful secret which
was weighing him down like a night
mare. IlingbraDd dropped into the near
est chair and laughed till the tears cut
little channels through the grime on
his cheeks. "You mustn't mind me,'
he said, as soon as he could speak; "I
haven't laughed for three whole days,
aud it sounds so good and homelike
to hear you talk again. I don't want
a doctor, Tom," Ludlow was edging
toward the hatrack "I need soap and
-water and something to eat. Mrs.
Ludlow, I'm your guest, and I've lost
ten consecutive meals. Please have
Aunt Mima put the whole ten of them
on the table, and I'll devour them when'
I've washed off a little of this war
paint. Mrs. Ludlow vanished in the direc
tion of the kitchen"? and Ringbrand
rose and grasped his friend's arm.
"Tom, you come upstairs with nnvvhile
I clean up a bit, and I'll tell you what
1 can. There's work cut out for both
of us to-night, with not any too much
time to spare."
Ludlow followed him upstairs, ask
ing: "Shall I turn on the water in the
bathroom for you?"
"Xpf. there isn't time for that; but
you may open those valises and get
me a whole clean outfit the black suit
with the cutaway will do."
lie got out of his soiled clothing hur
riedly, throwing the different articles
all about the trim room and hastily re
counting the story or his capture, im
prisonment and escape, and concluded
by giving an outline of 1he plot against
the Latimers as set forth in the con
versation between the two men in the
cave.
"Great heavens! but it's lucky you
overheard that talk," ejaculated' Lud
low, pausing in' his aimless search
among the contents of the traveling
bags. "It's something more than luck, Tom,"
replied Ringbrand, sluicing his face
in the basin; "it's Providence, or else
1 shouldn't lie here to tell about it."
"Have you thought of any plan to
checkmate the scoundrels?"
"I have, and it needs your help. As
soon as I've had something to eat we'll
drive up to "The Laurels,' and then you
can take the first opportunity that
offers to get the colonel by himself
while you tell him about it. lie can
tell Ilcnry quietly, and there'll be no
need of alarming Miss Hester. After
she has gone to bed we'll hold a council
of war, put out the lights, ami dispose
our forces so as to give the Bynums
a warm welcome when they come;
they'll not make the attempt much be
fore midnight, and we will have plenty
of time to get ready for them."
"Hadn't we better take a few of the
men with us the I?ynum boys'll fight
like devils when they find themselves
cornered." .
"1 think it won't be necessary
can't you find that suit? You see,
there'll be four' of us. and if yon can
manage to capture the one wno is to
hold the horses, I think the colonel
and Henry and myself will be good
for the other two. 1 had thought of
suggesting something like this: They
will leave the horses in the grove at the
left of the avenue, and you can post
yourself where you can slip' up anil sur
prise jour man. Then the others will
proceed to fire the house probably at
the front, retreating to the cover of
the clump of laurels to await develop
ments. For the sake of having a clear
ease of arson against them. 1 1 hougiit it
would be best to wait until they had act
ually started the fire,and while they arc
doing this I can get behind the laurels
and the colonel and Henry can prepare
to cover the men with their rifles as
thej- retreat. At the proper moment I
can show myself and demand a surren
der, and we'll have them pretty well
surrounded."
Ludlow rose from his knees and pro
ceeded to dump the contents of the
valises upon the bed, whistling softly
to himself as he did so. "The scheme's
as clear as diluted daj-light, and it's
worthy of a graduate of Scotland
Yard,", he said. "There's only one
point that's a little misty; you've given
yourself a part that'll ask for a heap
of downright cold-blooded nerve, Hugh.
What have jou done with your respect
ed traditions of inherent cowardice,
and the like?"
"Left them in the hole up on the
mountain. I hope," replied Ringbrand,
struggling into the clothing handed
him by Ludlow.. "Anyway, that's just
what I want to find out. On two oc
casions within the last three days I
have managed to scare up courage
enough to stand up to danger like a
man. but the conditions were such as
would have made a rabbit turn and
tight. What I want to know now is if
the inspiration were merely an ex
aggeration of the instinct of self-defense,
or if I really did gain a victory."
"Well, j'ou're certainty "in a fairway
to settle the question if yqu carry out
your programme. Has it occurred to
you that j'our calm demand will prob
ably be answered with a couple of rifle
balls?"
"I've thought of that, but I mean
to take the chances if I don't weaken
and -make a failure of the whole af
fair.". - ' .. , '
To be continued. -
What causes bad dreams is a question
that has never been satisfactorily ans
wered ; but, in nine cases out ot ten,
frightful dreams are the reealt of im
perfect digestion, which a few doses of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla "- will effectually
remedy. Don't delay try it today.

End of the Institute.
I he teachers institute closed today a
verv pleasant and profitable month's
session. Though the earlier part of it
was during tbe excessive hot weather,
conducive to a very languid interest, for
the past two weeks it has been delight
ful. Tbe attendance has steadily grown
and the interest was remarkable. Those
who have attended the institute throuh
out have gained the most, and may con
gratulate tneuiselves, whatever has
been the sacrifice. However, thoBe who
have attended only a day or two have
gained some ideas which will be of last
ing benefit, and will repay them for the
effort expended.
The institute has been in the bands of
capable instructors and the teachers
have worked with a will, making the
long session one which will always be
remembered with pleasure. That they
themselves realize their profit is mani
fest by the unusually long and compre-J
hensive vote of thanks which they took
before adjourning.
Institute Resolutions.
Hesolved, That we,
the teachers of
Wasco county, Oregon, in institute as

pleasant and profitable to all.
Resolved, That we desire in this man

In Discipline
Was Solved.
and. How It
Corporal punishment may be abolished
from the - public school, and some be
lieve the panacea is to be found iVi the
following, which is copied from the
"Western Teacher:"
There was trouble down at Fodunk, not a teach
er could be found.
Although the district fathers ha-1 searched the
country round. .. -
There were pedagogues In plenty, but never one
so rash
As to undertake the Podunk school though sore
iu need of cash. -
The schoolhoiise stood desert;!, its scarred and
battered door
Creaked idly on its hinges and the dust lay on
the floor :
While through the broken window where a boy
had Hung a stone, ,
The squirrels scampered in and out and made
the place their own. '
At last the school committee found a plucky
little maid,
Who thought that she could teach tbe school,
and didn't seem alraid,
Though they told her awful stories of the trouble
there had been.
So, though they felt misgivings, they engaged
her there and then.
The big boys held a
meeting up iu Farmer
itrown s nay-ioit
To discuss the situation,
think we're soft?
"Wonder if they
No stuck-up city scboolma'am can lord it over
us."
So they pot tbeir hads together aud planned to
"make a fus."
The school began on Monday and, when they'd
done the chores,
The little tow-head urchins and the girls In
pinafores.
The rosy country maidens nd the boys who
woraea roc jarms, .
All started lor the schoolhoiise with books and
slates in arms.
At nine tbe school was started and tl e teacher
worked with vim;
Each urchin in the schoolroom felt her eye was
fixed on bim. -Her
quiet air of master made them all afraid to
'hirk,
And before they realized the fact each one was
hard at work.
The school ran on tike dork-work, with a hum
of healiby noise.
And the teacher fatal error almost forgot
those boys.
In working at tbe blackboard with a class upon
the floor,
She turned her back one moment and the
school was in a roar.
'Twas the deacon's boy, Jem Saunders, tbe old
est of thein all:
A stalwart, young backwoodsman, and nearly
six feet tall.
He bad waited till her back was turned, then
quicker than a wink,
He seized tbe boy in front of him and daubed
- his face with ink.
The teacher turned as swift es light; her voice
was sweet ana clear
Though her heart was beating wildly, "James
Saunders, please come here.
I regret that 1 must punish you," he laughed
and kent bis nlace:
So she walked across the schoolroom, and the
two stooa lace to lac?.
For a moment both were silent, and with sus
pended breath
The scholars turned to watch them ; her tuca
grewDsleos death:
Then she had an inspiration as she stood and
faced bim there.
And before he could defend himself, she kissed
him fatr and square. .
II wasn't "pedagogical;" she hadn't thought it
out:
But the effect was awful on that bashful coun
trv hint
The fiery crimson mounted to his neck, and
brow and ears;
He hid his face in both bis hands and then
burst Into tears.
And from that day,
Jem Saunders was a model
for the school :
l;
He studied like a hero, and he never broke a
rule.
The other boys poked fun at first, and called him
"Jem Milksop:,!
Bnt when be d "chastised" three or four, the
rest ere glad to stop
The story spread like wildfire through all the
country siae.
At mill and store and "meetin," it was talked i f
far and wide:
And some folks took, as some folks will, a dep
recatins view.
But the deanon muttered softly, "I guess that
gai u aew.

Now, if you seek a moral where none was meant
to be.
You musi look below the surface, for the moral's
hard to see.
Remember "Truth lies in a well," and don't
make the mistake
Of kissing all your 60 badl oysfor "pedagogy s"
sake.
Mr. Divers Talks prosperity.
James Divers has returned from the
famous British Columbia mining dis
trict, and tells of probably the most
prosperous region of country in North
America today. .Mr. Divers was for
merly engineer ot the electric light com
pany at The Dalles, During his absence
he baa developed and owns iour good
mining properties, and expects to real
ize $10,000 from their sale. These are
located near Nelson and Deer Park.
The latter place Is a new camp which is
filling up rapidly. On bis return trip
be passed through Roalyn, and found
there is now 7,000 people there. The
LeRoy mine has just declared another
5 per cent dividend, amounting to $25,
000, making $200,000 altogether. While
absent he met Mr. G. M. Sterling and
Mr. F. T. Esping, both well known resi
dents of Tbe Dalles. Both are doing
well and have all the work they can at
tend to, at good wages. Mr. Divers
says the great need at tbe mining camps
is lumber. For want of it hundreds of
of families are living in tents, who would
suffer from cold were the season farther
advanced. There is plenty of timber in
the neighborhood, but little mill ma
chinery. A sawmill of ordinary capa
city could clear $10,000 within a year.
Good flose Farchaaed. -The
fire and water committee of the
city council ordered 500 feet of hose of
tbe Maltese Cross brand yesterday. Tbe
kind ordered is 45 pounds to tbe length,
4-ply hose, with 5-ply capped ends,
coupling 7W threads to tbe inch. The
hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure of
350 lbs to the square inch. There is no
better hose than the Maltese Cross. It
baa been tbe standard bose for many
years, and has more fine points than
any other brand known to tbe writer.
It is manufactured by the Gutta Percha
Mfg. Co. Six or seven years ago the
city purchased some of tbe same brand,
and Engineer Brown informs a reporter
that ' it is now in better condition, is
more serviceable and far safer to use
than other kinds which have been pur
chased since that time. The bose pur'
chased, while admirable for tournament
purposes, was not .' bought on that ac
count, but for service, wear and . tear
A Problem
and actual use. Its good qualities con
sist in being lighter to handle, more of
it can be carried on the curt, it reels
closer aud does not crack.. The Maltese
Cross is an ideal hose for all purposes.

BUDS, Society
Tcuds, young wo,
rqen just entering
tbe doors of soci
ety or woman
hood, require the
wisest care. To
be . beantiful and
charming they
must have perfect
health, with all it
implies a clear
skin, rcty cheeks,
bright eyes aud
Rood spirits. At
this period the
young woman is
especially sensi
tive, and many
nervous troubles,
which continue
through life, have
their origin at this
time. If there be
p&ln, headache, backache, and nervous dis-.
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of medicine should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv
ine at this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe
cially indicated for those delicate weak
nesses and derangements that afflict wo.
tnenkind at one period or another. You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully
used the "Prescription" is the picture of
health, she loots well and she feels well.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis.
placements common to women, where then
are symptoms of backache, dizziness or
feintinp, bearing down sensations, disor
dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc.,
the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health and good ,
spirits.
