bout pondering for honrt, finally feeling
somewhat calmer, but, hiring srrlved at

I tried to avoid being alone with Annie
that niffht, for I dreaded to tell her what

and would not let the night paw.
When the house wan quiet, all of ua bar

Hppeared.
"My .poor Annie!" I laid. Involun
tarily. She iffme.1 to understand all that my

"Don't cry, Annlo; don't cry!" I aaid.

At breakfast ths neit morning my ua
icle again spoke of in approaching visit
f the young- master to the mine, and
aeenied in high spirits about It; nay
more, he seemed ouite nroud u think
that he should hare been selected shore
sill others to take the Dirt of aruide.
Soon after breakfast he set out for the
mine, where young Redruth was to Join
tiim. A couple ( bouri later a figure
entered the- kitchen where I aat runilna

see 3iaaeiune.
Her face was vers pale and aad, but
there was a look of determination about
her eye and mou.Ui which 1 had nerer
rt there before. She w'ked in at the
open door and then itood heit.iting, aa
Jf uncertain what to do. She answered
any aunt's curtesy with a kindly nod sod
mile, and then ahe looked at Annie. 1
thought that the light in her eyes grew

She started and trembled. There was
a long pause. Madeline stood at the
window, garing out with ssd wistful eyes.
Then she turned and rams toward me.
"Mr. Trelawney," she said, "let this

which it had broken in. Prom flic point
where I stood, the Inst ladders had been
entirely washed or broken sway. The
roar was ileafening, but I snouted wttn
all my might. I paused and listened.
Suddenly from the darkness beneath, I
beard a faint voice auswering me. My
heart stood still.
Who's there?" I called; but the sound
of my voice waa blown away, and only
the same faint cry came In answer.
I aelsed the rope, aud, looking up to
the men above me, pointed downward;
they signaled, and seemed to understand.
Then 1 secured the rope again under my
arm pits, and, rigually to them to glre
way, swung over the platform.
My instructions to the men had been
simple. When I tugged once at the rope
they were to lower away, when I tugged
twice they were to stop lowering, when
I tugged three times, sharply, they were
to haul In. The further I descended, the
greater grew my peril; for the rope waa
not a strong one. aud many of the out-
jutting points of rock were sharp enough
to sever It by friction, and the long swing

What haa hapnened?" I cried, run
ning up and facing the terror-stricken
men.
One of tfaeot, Michael Peamaur, a stal
wart fellow of five and twenty, atepped
forward and acted as sawkesuian.
aat you allays said would happen,
Measter Hush. The main abaft be flood
ed wl the sea."
Speak, lads!" I cried. "Tell me ev
erything."
Michael Penmaur told. In a few rapid
words, all he knew; that In the course
of the afternoon George Redruth had de
scended the mine in company with my
uncle for the purpose of Inspecting the
outer galleries; that suddenly, while all
were busy below, the alarm had been
given, and. throwing down their tools,
the men had rushed up the ladders, while
simultaneously they heard a rush and
rt.ar like the sound of the entering sea;
that as they ascended in wild alarm, the
lower ladder broke beneath the weight
of some of the men, who were precipi
tated with it into the darkness; and that,
finally, when they collected at the mouth
of the mine, they missed, besides several
of their comrades, both George Rudruth
and my uncle.
I rushed to the door. By thia time It
waa quite dark, and It was blowing hard
from the southwest, with hail and rain.
I thought with horror of that submariue
darkness, and of those who were lying
even then within it, alive or dead. My
mind was made up in a moment. I did
not even watt to speak to Annie or my
aunt, but, calling on the men to follow
me, ran right away in the direction of
the mine.
The men followed me In a body. When
we reached the cliffs, we found the wild
newa had spread, and an excited throng
was gathered at the mine-head, some car
rying torches, which cast lurid gleams on
the rainy darkness. A heavy sea waa
rolling in on the strand beneath, and the
white billows were flashing and crashing.
Suddenly a light hand was placed upon
my arm, and turning, I saw Madeline;
close to her, like a gaunt specter, Mrs.
Redruth.
"Thank heaven, you are here!" cried
my darling. "Is there any hope?"
I looked into her white face, and saw
in its wild anxiety only love for my rival;
but at that supreme moment I felt no
Jealousy only supreme pity for hint.
Then I glanced at his mother, aud heard
her quick cry of supplication:
"Save him! Save my son!"
I walked to the mouth of the mine, and
threw open the wooden lid. Then, kneel
ing down, I held my ear over the mouth.
and listened. A sound like thunder a
horrible ruling and roaring came from
below. I had no doubt uow that the
worst had happened.
Thre was only one chance for those
below, if by any possibility they sur
vived. Some one miwt descend and make
nn inspection, even at the risk of his
life; and, without a moment's hesitation,
I determined to volunteer for the task.
Stranse to say, my head became quite
cool and clear directly my resolve was
made.
"I,iften. lads!" I eaid. "There's hope
yet. and I'm going down."
I explained my plan. Several of them,
Michael I'eiimaur among the number,
agreed to descend with me to the plat
form, and to lower me thence down the
bottom sliafi. In less time than it takes
to write these linen, the messengers re
turned with several coils of rope, and
candles; I stuck several of the latter
about my person. Then I was ready. I
bad ret my foot on the first rung of the
ladder, and was about to descend, when
Madeline bent over me.
TJod blesn you," she cried, "and bring
you safe back!"
I reached up, and taking her band
pressed it to my lips.
"If he lives," I said, "I'll restore him
to yon, and to his mother. Don't cry,
Miss Graham! There's a chance yet!"
Hcarcely realizing the significance of
what had occurred, I descended rapidly,
followed by Michael and the volunteers.
As I went, the roar from below Increased
and tbs solid rock on which the ladder
was set seemed to shake aa with earth
quake. In pitch darkness I reached the
first platform. Here I paused, and, strik
ing a light, lit the candles on my person
fdy companions did the same. The lurid
light lit up their pale, anxious faces, and
hot faint rays down into the mine.
"Now, then, lad!" I cried, descending
the second stage of ladders. Koine of
thesa were very shaky, and I had to use
rreat caution; but I knew the way blind
fold, and all my old experience of the
olaoe stood me in good stead.
At last, with no harm done to anyone,
wa reached the central platform. Here
the roar was deafening, and the solid
rock seemed splitting with the sound. I
bent over the abyss, and held down the
light, using my band as a reflector. 8 ure
enough, several of the ladders had brok
en away. I strained my eyes. Then I
bouted but my about waa drowned In
the subterranean tumult.
On the central platform was a wind
Isss, with a portion of aq old disused
crane. Round this I passed one of the
ropes. Instructing the men to hold one
end and gradually give way or draw In
I should direct. Then I took the oth
er end, and fastened it securely under my
arm-plta.
"It be naw use, Measter Hugh!" cried
Michael I'enmaur. "Dawn't 'ee go. It
be gawlng to your death!"
Hut finding that I was not to be per
tuaded, the brave fellow wrung my band,
and promised to do bis best to help me
nor were ths others less kindly and sym
psthetlc. As they lowered me over the
platform, I partially supported myself
against the slimy rocks; but the next
moment I was suspended In air. Hlowly,
csrefully, they let ms down. At last
some twenty yards down, my foot rested
on a ladder, descending which I reached
the lowest platform of all. I released
niyselt from tbs rops, and prepared to
look around.
Suddenly my foot struck against some
thing soft, like a body; and, stoopln
down, light In band, I say two of th

Jurisdiction of Murprlalng Hwccp Is
Wielded by the Cherokee.
There Is a gisid deal being snld
about the citizenship of the udopted
whites of the Cherokee nation nnd the
law which gave tberil their citizen
ship, says the Kansas City Journal.
The law was passed many long years
ago and provided that a white man
who desired to marry a Cherokee wom
an should first procure a petition sign
ed by ten citizens wltb bloisl, attest
ing that he was of good moral char
acter and would, lu their opinion,
make a good citizen of the Cherokee)
nation. This presented to the district
clerk of any of the nine districts and
a payment of $10 would get a license
to wed the Cherokee woman. This
law had two provisions of forfeiture.
One was the resistance of Cherokee
authority In case of criminal prose
cution and the other was the marriage
to a white woman after the former
marriage to the Cherokee woman.
This was called "marrying out"
The Cherokees up to the abolish
ment of their courts held Jurisdiction
over the adopted man and even con
victed some few of murder and exe
cuted thm. This was allowed by
Judge Parker of Fort Kmlth, who was
very strenuous, and even the Supreme
Court at Washington did not Inter
fere. Ho the citizenship was complete
as to jurisdiction. There was notli
lng In the Intermarriage law that made
any restrictions on heirship of proper
ty at all, but In 1815, Dec. 10, the
council passed an amendment to this
law which provided that no white man
who married a Cherokee woman from
that date should acquire any rights
to any moneys or to any lands, but
should acquire political rights only;
and since that date no one who mar
rled a Cherokee woman baa claimed
anything but the right to live In the
country. This Is the law and present
situation. The Dawes commission has
looked upon the adopted white as
full citizen and so have the officers of
the government, but the courts have
not yet passed on It
