The Hole in

By T. C. HAK8AVOH.
IS THE warm aummer aunahine that
brighli ned 1 very humble-looking
urniah home a ruddy faeeil boy. (if
!fl ant overhauling a blril huiiter'a
iiijie. So intunt waa he with hla work
thut he did not notice the ill dreaaed
fX'tie thai alotuhcd down the nar
r,w road toward him, and pauaed
at Ift't a few feet away to watch him
v.ilh a pair of Jealoua eyea.
"Hewling jour rope, are you?" aud
(irnly aikiil the man.
The bny looked up and for the flrat
time a the evil-looking apeaker.
"Yea, 8:iU I'm atrcugthenilig a few
a'rnnrj," anawered the ropimmker.
"The aharp roeka cut, you know, and
one want everything aafa when be
g'yce down."
"There'a aomethlng bitter than gg
buninig in th wind Juat now," aaid
bid Eloper, thn ragged fillow.
"What la it?"
"They've Juat potted a reward for
Infnruialirn fiat will lead to the de-t-etlou
of the amugglrra. Three hun
dred pou ii.la ain't to be picked up ev
ery day, boy, and it'a better than go
to u- down over the cliff after guUe'
Ktra."
The Corniah youth, who waa ac
counted the moat eucceaaful egg-hitnt-rr
along the coast, mada no reply,
but dropped hie eyes to hla work und
did not look up again for a few mo
menta. When ha ralaed hla eyea, Sid Hloper
waa gone, and he thought be aaw the
ragged man's retreating figure van
t'h down the road, but waa not aura.
"Kgg-huntlng la profitable enough
for iur," thought the boy, "but I
would not mind earning the 300.
Kid Sloper'a word la to be taken with
a good deal of allowance, though the
coaat guaid la very anxious to catch
the smuggler e, and the reward may
be out."
The village mentioned by Rloper,
the vagabond iah Cornishuiau, was ait
iiiited a good mile from the coaat. It
waa farther away than the home of
Brant Burton, the young egg-hunter,
and aa the boy had not been there
fur some days, be did not altogether
ilii.lieUeve the man's atatemaut about
the reward.
The aun was hanging very low In
the west, when, provided with bas
ket aud a rope, ba set nut for the
Cornish cliffs. He had dlaoovered a
hole right above a narrow ledge of
rock which promised good reaulta,
and Ui number of birds that whirled
about the place tempted the boy aa
he had not been tempted before of
lute.
There existed among the egg-hunters
of Cornwall a most Intense jeal
ousy. They would watch one another
like paid spies, and aoma even went
far aa to eat tke ropes banging
over the cliffs, leaving the poor bird
ueater In a terrible predicament.. , ,
Hrant llurton, the gull-hunter, bad
resolved to Investigate the opening
in tht cliff about sundown when there
was not to much danger of hia being1
seen; and when he reached the tdge
cf the wall the aun waa diaappeartng,
n ball of fire, beneatk the wavea of
the channel. ' - '
faying out hia ropa, he made one
end feat to a ggd rook near the
brink of the cliff, and with hla bas
ket strapped to hia back, swung him
eelf over the wall.
It waa not hia Arat deacent on
similar mission. Be alwaya kept a
cool head and steady hands on such
occasions, for beneath him, hundreds
of feet sometimes, boiled aba whirl
pools ot tb English chain! ,
This time hit good rnpa did not full
hi 111, for after 1 brink tfrscpiit he
I nod on a scanty leiljre of rock with
the diirknilnir aky far alioa and Ilia
wild VYuturs below. A
The hole In the cliff waa larfre
enoiiffh to admit a man, thoujfb it had
not looked o from hla point of ou
sarvatlon. To the Cornish boy It
seemed more than a tuera randetous
for gulls.
All at onne somethlnjr fell pant th
boy, and the next moment to hla hor
ror he discovered that hla rope had
rarilslisdl
Kor a moment he atood paratyzefl
bv the awful cataalrouhe. for ha cuuld
realize fully what it meant,
After awhile he went to the very j
edire of the ledie and looked up. He I
could lint catch a (rlluipae of a tin UiT
lirip; cord of any kind, and a htinilrr.d
feet bfldw the white wave of the
channel daahed afainat the foot of
the wall. '
Hla lilluut.ion waa terrible,
"If till la your work, tld filnper,
may Heaven for-rivc you!" exeiaiim d
the youn: e-f-ruttiitHr. . "I've ctiitflit
you follinvitiK me before now, fur you
don't want nnybrdy to make a lew
ahllltnira but youraitlf."
Aa far aa hia vision could reach,
llraut llurton aaw nothlii-r but the
tilinbllnif white caiia of the ocean.
The aun hud gone down, aud the ur-
,t. u,nu au iMi.,,
it. brilliant hue. In the ah.dow, of
deacendiiig night. (
The tour of the breakera enme up i
to the boy on the narrow rock and
filled his heart with terror. A few
lute gulls whirled before his eyee, in
If to mock his fleeting bupea, and
derkueia mine down over the acme.
The young egg hunler of Cornwall
was terribly Impriaonrd.
It was some time before he ven
tured to llivi.al ii'ul (tie hole In the
cliff. The loss of hla rope had taken
his mi nd from everything else. 1 mik-e long. Butte, Montana, produ

On every side were the fruiu of my estimation, the largentawl rich
mauy a nlght'a foray along the coast est district in the world. Ex.
boxes containing ai'ks and laces,
snd contraband merchandise of tvery
description.
Tht cave was provided with natural
shelves, which were s ored with
goods, and coatjy furniture existed
eveiywhcre in pnifulon.
If tlu- t'onil.h boy had found the
amiigglera' cave with hla good rope
waiting for him over the c:!ff, he ,
would have rejoiced, but he wna lm -
prisoned where hia life waa in Irumi-
nent danger.

persirn had dreamed that It had
...en in mai vicinity, anu tne interior
of the cavern in the cliff told the boy
that It hud been ued for evil pur-
poses a long time.
After awhile the moon came up and
silvered the rolling waves of the chan
nel. Its light fell against the foot
of the cliff, and si.owed the boy at
intervale the aoant pathway between
the sea and the rock.
Armed with a coll of rope which
he bad found among the amugglera'
goods, he leaned over the ledge and
tried to measure the distance between
him aud the water. It waa uncertain
work in the moonlight, but he did
the best he could. - ,'
There wna but one hope of escape,
and that lay along the foot of the
cliff, which waa slippery and waahed
by the tide.
The t'ornish boy dropped the rope
and saw it reach the rooks below.
A thrill of exultation took posses
sion of his heart.
He fastened the other end of the
rope to an iron staple In the cavern,
and thrust Into hla bosom a piece of
peculiar lace which he took from one
of the boxes. He remembered hav
ing heard a coaat guardsman any that
a certain kind of lace waa' beiug
smuggled Into Cornwall, and he be
lieved he had found It.
When all waa ready, the young gull
hutiter again trusted his fortunre to
a swaying rope this time to one he
had never before tested.
The following moment he waa
evringing between the, cliff and the
aea, going down hand orer hand to
ward the aurglng tide.
When he tuuehea the rocke beneath,
he waa forced to hug the wall, for
the waves were at hia very feet.
He shuddered when he thonght that
he would have to follow the narrow
path for more than a mile before
there waa a breath in the cliffs, but
he nerved himself for the task aud
atarted off.
It proved to be the moat perilous
journey of hia life. All the war he
was compelled to hug the wail of
rock, with the roaring surf leaping
at him. More than once he waa
aught, and barely aaved himself by
clinging to rocks that cut like knives.
At last llrant llurton reached the
break la the Cornish wall. It waa to
