Ev ery minute one or more ounces of lead pitched right Into the ledge, damaging the stores and tearing the tarpaulin, while those which struck the wall of rock were dangerous to Iris by reason of the molten spray. He could guess what bad happened. By lying flat on the sloping plateau or squeezing close to the projecting shoul der of the cliff the DyakB were so little eiposed that Idle chance alone would enable him to hit one of them. But they must be shifted, or this night hombardment would prove the most serious development yet encountered. "Are you all right, IrlsV" he called ut. "Yes, dear," she answered. "Well, 1 want you to keep yourself covered by the canvas for a little while, especially your bead mid shoul ders. I am going to stop these chaps. They have found our weak point, but I can baffle them." She did not ask what he proposed to do. He heard the rustling of the tar paulin as she pulled it. Instantly he cast loose the rope ladder, and, armed only with a revolver, dropped down the reck. He was quite Invisible to the en emy. On reaching the ground ho lis tened for a moment. There was no sound save the occasional reports nine ty yards away. He bitched up the low er rungs of the ladder until they were six feet from the level and then crept noiselessly close to the rock for some forty yards. He halted beside a small poon tree and stooped to find something imbed ded near Its roots. At this distance ho could plainly beur the muttered con versation of the Dyaks and could see several of them prone on the sand. The latter fact proved how fotal would be on attempt on his part to reach the well. They must discover him Instant ly once be quitted the somber shadows of the cliff. He waited perhaps a few seconds longer than was necessary, endeavoring to pierce the dim atmos phere and learn something of their dis position. A vigorous outburst of firing sent him back with haste. Iris was up there alone. He knew not what might hap pen. Ho wns now feverishly anxious to be with her again, to hear her voice and be sure that all was well. To his horror he found the ladder swaying gently against the rock. Some one was using It. He sprang forward, careless of consequence, and seized the swinging end, which had fallen free again. He had his foot on the bottom rung when Iris, voice, close nt hand and shrill with terror, shrieked: "itobert, where ore you?" "Here!" he shouted. The next in stant she dropped into his arms. A startled exclamation from the vi cinity of the house and some loud cries from the moi-o distant Dyaks on the other side of Prospect park showed that they hod been overheard. "Up!" he whispered. "Hold tight and go as quickly as you con!" "Not without you!" "Up, for God's sake! I follow at your heels!" She began to climb. He took some article from between his teeth, a string apparently, and drew It toward him, mounting the ladder at the same time. The end tightened. He was then about ten feet from the ground. Two Dyaks, yelling fiercely, rushed from the cover of the bouse. "Go on," be said to Iris. "Don't lose your nerve, whatever happens. I am close behind you." "I am quite safe," she gasped. Turning and clinging on with one hand, he drew bis revolver and fired at the pair beneath, who could now faintly discern them, and were almost within reach of the ladder. The shoot ing mode them halt. He did not know or care if they were hit. To frighten them was sufficient Several others were running across the sands to the cave, attracted by the noise and the cries of the foremost pursuers. Then he gave a steady pull to the cord. The sharp crack of a rifle came from the vicinity of the old quarry. He saw the flash among the trees. Almost simultaneously a bright light leaped from the opposite ledge, Illum inating the vicinity like a meteor. It lit up the rock, showed Iris just van ishing into the safety of the ledge and revealed Jenks and the Dyaks to each other. There followed Instantly a tre nesdons explosion that shook earth tsd air, dislodging every loose stone la the acratiLwest nt of molt imrtioo CONSUMPTION'S WARNING Inside facts soon become evident In outside symptoms. Dr. G. G. Grkeh. The aid of scientific inventions is not needed to determine whether your lunp are affected. The first symptoms can be readily noted by anyone of average in telligence. There is no disease known that gives so nianv plain warnings of its approach as consumption, and no serious disease that can be so quickly reached and checked, if tl, niritirine used is Dr. Boschee's THE WINGS German Syrup, which is made to cure consumption. It is in the early stages that German Syrup should be taken, when warnings are given in the cough that won't quit, the congestion of the bronchial tubes and the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac companied by frequent expectoration. But no matter how deep-seated your cough, even if dread consumption has already attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure as it baa done before is thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

The A tremendous explosion, ullor, unmolested further, reached the ledge. In a tall tree near the valley of death he had tightly lixed 11 loaded rifle wblcb pointed at a loose stone in the rock overhanging the ledge held by the Dyaks. This stone rested against a number of pruciisslon ciys extracted from cartridges, and these were In di rect communication with n train of powder lending to a blasting charge ploced at the end of a twenty-four inch hole drilled with a crowbar. The Im pact of the bullet against the stone could not full to explode some of the caps. He had used the contents of 300 cartridges to secure a sulllclcncy of powder, and the bullets were crammed into the orifice, being tnmped with cloy and wet sand. The rifle was fired by means of the string, the loose colls of which were secreted at the foot of the poon. By springing this novel niiue he had effectually removed every Dyak from the ledge, over which Its contents would spread like a fan. Further, It would probably deter the survivors from again venturing near the fatal spot. Iris listened, only half comprehend ing. Her luiiul was tilled witli one thought to the exclusion of -all others. Itobert had left her, hud done this thing without telling her. She forgave him, knowing he acted for the best, but he must never, never deceive her again in such a manner. She could not bear It.

The town of Ukiah is facing a water famine, which will last anywhere from three days to a week. The night engineer of the Ukiah Water and Improvement com pany either went to sleep or neglected his duly last night, and In consequence the water in the boiler got so low that It burned out.

TAKING THE ENGLAND SCENTS DANGER AND 18 PREPARING FOB THE FUTURE. The Admiralty la Pushing Work en Naval Base on th East Court London, July 29, In the course of a discussion of the vote for naval work in the house of commons yester day, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Ham ilton Lee, civil lord of the admiralty, said that the admiralty had decided not to proceed with the Chatham dockyard extension, but Instead to push work on the new base at Rosyth, Firth of Forth, Scotland. The Chath am extensions, he explained, In 1003 contemplated the expenditure of ?22, 000,000. Explaining the reasons for this step, Lieutenant Colonel Lee said there was a probability that warships in the future would be fewer in num ber and greater in individual power. Hence the berthing and docking apace must be of the largest size. The. ad miralty had decided that Rosyth pos sesses greater strategical and other advantages than Chatham. The civil lord of the admiralty, prob ably mindful of tho sensation caused in Germany by his speech at East Leigh in February last, added that he did not wish to enlarge on the strnte getlc advantage of a naval base on the east coast as it must be patent to ev erybody. The plans, he said, had been prepared for a naval base 01 the most complete description so that exten sions could be carried out as required. The initial work would, complete in themselves, cost $12,500,000. Public is Arouted.

Tli Volcftnlo Formation Along tb Courae of Full HlTr, Nature Is full of Btrange freaks, and- bcr agents rains, storms, winds and even dust produce results that might often be mlstukcu for tbe works of human bands, though frequently on a coloHsnl scale. Volcanic activities are mighty fac tors, and tli rough them some wonder ful phenomena are wrought. One of these may be seen along the course of Fall river, In northern California. This stream Is of considerable size, and the work of nnture'B gigantic forces may be seen between tho upper and lower cascades of tho river. It is what might properly be called, a "volcanic dike." This dlko extcrnta for some distance along Kali river, near Its banks and nearly parallel to the course. It boars close rcemllniice to a roughly constructed wall. Tho top of this dike Is very ragged and tho height of varying altitudes. In some places It la twenty feet high and several feet In thickness, and iitfnln may be easily clambered over. The rock of which this wall of nature Is com posed is of n very porous chiiracter, bearing seme resemblance to pumice stone, though much more solid and of greater specific gravity. That entire region Is of volcanic ori gin and evidently was once the scene of great eruptive activity. Scoria and lava abound, though tho face of the country Is now thickly clad with timber and brush. The dike begins nnd ends abruptly. The wall of the dike la evidently the result of volcanic forces, and has no doubt stood for many conlurica, It stands clear from clinging locks, has a narrow foundation, with vertical walls, and Is very straight. The mys tery is what forces of nature could have plied up or left standing this rock formation so uniform. This dike has puzzled not a few ponlogisls who have visited and examined It.
