"We can do a fow miles of tho cavo by
noon," said the captain as they went down;
"then wo'll get lunch and return In time
to get back to camp before sunset."
"Faith, that'll bo as nlsy as fallln off a
log," said Mlko Finn. "Shuro I was down
In Diamond cavo for moro'n six hours, wld
on'y a nigger fur a guide, and I knew It
that well before I cumo out that Pd not bo
skart to go through from Ind to tnd blind
folded. Thlm caves Is llko Iv'rythln else
it's all in beln used to their ways."
This confidence encouraged tho captain
greatly, tor an tho cold air bent Into his
face and he saw tho light of his torch forc
ing a thin pathway through tho awful
blackness that rose before liini like n wall,
bis curiosity was not so keen nor his confi
dence In himself so great as when he started
out that morning.
They passed the anteroom, with its
smoked walls and its floor littered with the
debris of a thousand convivial parties who
had preceded them In the good old days
before the war.
Then they started down tho grand avo-
nue, but before doing so Captain Poo, who
was noted In the army for bis prudence and
forethought, tied the end or a big ball of
wrapping twiuo to a rock and paid It out
as he went on.
"It waa by just such a wnlrtvance as
that string," ho replied toHfiko Finn,
"that the mysteries and Intv;;- convolu
tions of the famous Labyrlutiro? fcreto were
discovered." I
"You don't toll me so, sor," cried .Mike,
with all the earnestness of a man Just in
receipt of a thrilling Item of news.
Down the grand avenue tho black
shadows fled from their front to settle be
hind them In u blacker wall.
The fall of thetr feet woko up tho sleep
ing echoes. Bats dropped from the roof
and their cold, clammy .wings brushed the
bronsed faces of tho troopers and made
them pallid.
On to the Great Hall, whoso celling was
fitted too high to bo reached by tho light
of their torches, save where hero and there
from the drooping ends of snowy stalac
tites the light (lashed back as if refracted
into prismatic lines by mighty diamonds.
On again to the Bridal Chamber, tho
ball of twine growing less in site, but tho
trail still well defined by fragments of ex
hausted torches anu an occasional empty
bottle.
Wonder banished anxiety from the hearts
of captain and man, and they spoke In
whispers, as if afraid to wake up the sleep
ing gealus of, this sunless palace.
They crept through Fat Man's Misery,
of which the captain had often heard; then
they rested their torches against a rock,
and as it was high noon in the upper world
they at their lunch, ate everything for
aa they were going back Immediately it
would ibe foolish to burdeu themselves
with what was left.
At length they reached the Star Cham
ber, at least that was what the captain
called it, and here they came literally to
"the end of their rope."
Tba string was fastened to a rock in a
place 'which they agreed they could find
very easily and then they started in to ex
plore this wonderful chamber. At length
the captain looked at bis watch.
"Three o'clock, Finnl" be exclaimed.
"By .love, wo must Ik getting back ut
Bight will catch lis!'
"Smiv It's nl wti)N and 1 forevi-r unil a 1I11)
night down here,'' said Mike.
Hut now to find the string, Tlif)
senivlied and they searched and tlie
searched without success, till there wen
only two candles left. Then filled wlthdis
pornllnu and horror they started down 1111
avenue that "looked as if It might lead in
the right direction."
Up 11 mountain of sharp rocks tin)
clambered, then down the other side, till
they came to a sudden halt and drew Intel
with their hnlr 011 end, for thu awful black
depths of the bottomless pit yawned be
fore them.
At this Juncture the last quarter Inch ol
the last candle fell and wan extinguished,
"May all the saints protect us, eaptalr
donrl" groaned Mike Finn, "for It's ntr
and you Is lu a devil of a IhjxI"
Our language was constructed in a world
where there Is a great ileal of light, anil
so It has no terms at all adequate to tie
scribe thu Impenetrable blackness In which
these two melt found themselves.
They were away from the world; burled
In a Stygian darkness fnrdown In the bow
els of the enith, nnd there wan no guide
within reach that their companions could
send to their rescue.
The captain discharged his pistol and the
caves rang with tho deafening sound, ami
thu echoes rolled down through far away
caves, like thu ceaseless discharges of re
ceding artillery, till swallowed up In pro
found, far away depths,
The men were afraid to move, for it
stone, loosened by their advance, had
lea pod Into the bottomless pit, and as no
sound came back tlioy reasoned that It
must lie still falling, and they did not cate
to risk themselves near the awful edge.
No pen could given fair picture of the
long, black hours that followed, The cap
tain's watch rati down. 1 1 linger ami thirst
tortured them. Then came 1111 irresistible
vearulug for sleep, and us they closed their
heavy lids they shook hands like men who
are never to wake again,
Hut llfty-vlght hours after the last light
went out they did wake up to (1 net torches
flashing In their faces and Lieutenant
Pratt and 11 colored man who "knew tlu
cave" leaning over them.
They were fed and led out to the light,
and Mike Finn echoed tho captain's sent!
menta when ho said:
"Be Jabers, yo'll nlvcr foltid me In a hole
In the ground nglii till Pin burled for

The Origin or "Grog."
"Yes," said the old captain, as ho laid
down his pipe and took n swig of the
steaming punch set conveniently near his
right elbow, "tho navy has givett some
very comforting words to tho F.nglish Ian
guago. Kver hear the phrase 'tapping the
admiral r'"
Wo thought we had, but woro not quit
sure,
"Well, to this day in tho navy, when onr
sailor wants another to come off and have
a drink of rum with him, he Is apt to say,
'Let's go tap the admiral.'
"This Is how it came about: When Ad
inlral Nelson was killed at the sen fight o.'
Trafalgar there was no means of embalm
ing tho body, for tho rule was to bury all
dead sailors nt sea; but every one knew
this wouldn't work In the case of Ixini
Nelson. Now, down between decks there
was a hogshead of prime old rum that had
teen recently taken aboard, so after somt
debate the doctors decided to put tho bod

"While living thoadmlral liked his grog

dead this could not account for the fact
that when the ship that bore the Ixxly

pretty much all tho rum hud vanished.
"After a long examination it wiut dis
covered that the Bailors placed as a guard
about the cask bad regularly tapped it.
This also accounted for tho tipsy bchavloi
of tho men. From that day to this every

Well, I think you will say 'Yea' when I

besuro he was a very lino man. His Bailors
loved him, for it was ho who Insisted on
giving them a doublo ration of rum in cold
weather, but ho also Insisted thatit should
be drunk mixed with water.
"Admiral Vernon used to wear a big
grog rain coat in wet weather, and so the
sailors, in pure love and affection, nick
named him 'Old Grog,' and gradually the
name was changed to designate his favor

A Grammatical Point.
Judge Wilson, of Kentucky, is a fine
lawyer, a purist in tho use of English, ant
withal very fond of a Joke, particularly I.
it Is not directed against himself.
Tom Roberts practices 11 good deal before
Judge Wilson, and rather prides himself
on being a self made man, nnd as he has
pushed his way to the front without a col
lege education, he Is apt to look upon
scholars aa entirely "too finicky and theo
retlcal."
Recently, when pleading a case before
his friend, Mr. Wilson said:
"And now, may It please your honor, I'll
conclude my argument tomorrow, unless
you will kindly consent to set late enough
to hear me out this evening."
Here was Judge Wilson's chance, and he
could not let It slip without notice.
"Hens set, sir, and Judges sit."
"Very well," laughed Roberta, "I stand
corrected, and I hope your honor will sit
iong enough to hear mo out."-
Not long after this the Judge, while glv
ing an opinion, remarked:
"Under the circumstances, as stated, I
do not think an action will lay."
"I beg your honor's pardon," said Rob
erts, quick as a flush, "up In the moun
tains whar I was rlz we allow that bens
lay and actions lic.'
"And in saying so," responded the blush
ing Judge, "you hue laid closer to the
truth than tut adytllile since you begun
this ease," AHiltD R. Cauiouk.

"Sing to him, Nltollni, for I am weary now;

My volco Is cracked with agony, my heart U

Thus pleaded peerless Pattl as she viuwed her

And saw that death was rupldly a doing or tilin

Her famous million dollar voice was tw IsUd

Her lids weru red with weeping and "no fear

A shiver shook tho hairless dog, ho hwved a

Just once or twice ho gasped, and then lie

Then stiffened out each slender leg, likewise
his slender tall;
And I'attl, noting all these things, walled forth
a wailful wall.
But dogglu heeded not her woe; he lay still on

Tho hairless dog from Mexico was numbered

And Nlcollul smiled a smile, sinister, cruel,
