•Rand Cave, Ky., Feb. IS.—To make
.sure that Floyd Collins will not be
disturbed In his Sand Cave tomb, 75
feet below (lie surface, workers today
were sealing the crevice.with cement.
This was decided upon after H. T.
i 'armli liael, chief of the rescue crew
which strove frantically to reach Col
lins while he was alive, abandoned
plans to set off a huge charge of dyna
mite In the rescue shaft. B. Doyle,
owner of the farm on which Sand
Cave Is located, objected to this pro
cedure.
While Carmichael and engineers
were conferring In regard to the last
"cleanup” work to he done around the,
scene of the epic struggle to save a
human from death, miners, scientists,
engineers, surgeons, military men and
the scores of others who have assisted
In the work, were leaving for their
homes In various parts of the coun
try. And the nation was fast forget
ting the tragedy In this little moun
tain village.
Meanwhile Floyd Collins sleeps in
the tomb he perhaps would' have
chosen. There he will sleep forever.
Crack in Cliff.
Nature, which has sneered and
mocked at man's puny efforts to
bring him forth, Is taking further
steps to seal his mausoleum irre
vocably.
A great cntek appeared at the base
of the cliff which overhangs the en
trance to the cave. It Is now six
Inches wide and the ground In front
<nf the cliff seems to be sinking.
^Composed of treacherous muck, even
before the rescue operations started,
the underground layers which have
been disturbed by the sinking of the
shaft and tunnels again are seeking
to adjust themselves.
It is likely the ground will sink
until all the natural passageways have
iieen closed.
Rescue operations were formally
abandoned yesterday. No extensions
jbt the shaft or laterals were at
tempted.
Ends In Fight.
"But, please, boys, say It ended In
a fight; not a quit," Carmichael
asked. "Twenty men would have
gone on, even given their lives, If
I had said go on."
Brief and simple funeral services
held on top of the cliff overlooking
Btind cave entrance and the pit where
ihe rescue fight was waged. Rev.
■C. K. Dickey, pastor of the Horse
Cave and Cave City Methodist
churches, was in charge of the serv
ice, assisted by the Rev. Roy H.
Riser of the Glasgow Christian
Church.
Several hundred folk from the hills
and towns around about gathered
about the preachers, there was a
song by the Cave City combined
choirs, reading of scriptures, a ser
mon of thanks to the world and the
rescuers and Collins was left to sleep
In the caverns that he loved and
explored in life.

"Do you know what I think?" asked

“No," replied Jumper. "What do
you think?”
"I think you ere crazy,” said Peter.
*'Yos, sir, I th'nk you are crazy."
Then Jumper told Peter the whole
story. He told how he had run Into
Buster Bear's bedroom to eacape
from Old Man Coyote and how when
he got In there he had found Buster

Peter thoughtfully scratched a long

“All right,” replied Jumper. "Fol

Not for the world would he have ad

Jumper dared go. Jumper started off.
Peter hesitated a moment and then
he followed.
Peter knew where Buster Bear’s

Peter hopped more and mor« slow
