pound.
I had bought an old double-barreled
enotgun from Ike Anderson. One after
noon late in November, having wandered
farther than usual, I came upon a luck
jess bunny, who was looking the other
eav. His heedlessness cost him the tip
of an car before he scampered into a
clump of scrub oaks. I remembered that
It was here that the croquet hall had dis
appeared so mysteriously the afternoon
of the picnic. Wondering if I might not
be able to find it, now that it was day
light, I began to search. The ground was
composed almost entirely of loose stones.
1 kicked them about moodily and shoved
t, t m around with the muzzle of my gun,
until, having half forgotten what I came
tin re for, I was about to leave.
On turning to go, I noticed a small hole
si the end of a stone half as big as a
flour barrel.
I felt a great curiosity to see what was
there. 1 would have enlarged the hole,
tut the big stones—flrmlv embedded—was
in the way. There was a point on one
end that offered a good grip. I might be
able to lift it.
I gave a mighty heave and hung to it.
Slowly, steadily, I felt it rise. Suddenly,
a- though it had been the keystone of
an arch on whose summit 1 stood, it
i me out. and the ground under me col-
I,; eed. Down I went Into the hole, rocks,
flirt and hushes falling with me. I clutched
wildly at the loose rubbish: I'might as
veil have grasped at the air. 1 landed
on my back unhurt, and wriggled over
on to my stomach in the midst of a dusty
malanehe. The dim light of the hole was
rapidly receding. I dug my fingers into
the debris in a futile effort to stay my in
voluntary flight. I yelled in mortal terror.
] was suffocating. The air was close, and
Impregnated with dust, I fancied myself
enproaching a bottomless pit or a sub
1-rranean precipice. The second barrel
of mv gun. which was rolling in advance
went off with a thundoious report, adding
the fumes of powder smoke to the already
overhurdened atmosphere.
I no longer had breath to yell, and the
opening presented the .-appearance of a
mere yellow blue. I was about ready to
give up. I did give up. I ceased my troll
ies? efforts to obtain a hold, and was im
mediately landed on a projection from the
eifle of the tunnel. The momentum forced
me into a sitting position. By the time
I regained my senses the avalanche had
passed, and I cculd hear it rattling along
with diminishing speed, far down the tun
nel The dust settled, clearing the air,
so that I saw the opening quite distinct
ly.
I was a grateful boy when I reached the
opening. It consisted of a circular well
eight feet deep and twice as many in
diameter. The sides had once been walled
up with stone, though now much of it had
fallen in. A glance above showed the hole
to have been roofed with logs, only a few
ends of which remained protruding from
the top of the wall, the remainder having
long since decayed. Only the roots of the
trees and bushes now held it together.
t had no difficulty in climbing out, the
stones in the wall offering abundant foot
and hand-holds. I sat down at a safe dis
tance from the shaky roof, and while I
look account of my numerous black and
blue spots, torn clothes and generally
damaged condition, I wondered where that
hole led to.
That night, after chores, Tommy Wood
ford and I had a long confab. I had
g:eat respect for him. He was little, but
lie was bright as a button and courageous
n- a little lion. I only told him enough
to thoroughly arouse his curiosity, but
1 promised that if he would keep mum and
do just as I said, I would show him some
th. ng that would make his eyes stick out.
He promised faithfully, and I knew I
could trust him.
Next day we gathered all the old knots
we could find down in the pine lot and
split them into long, thin slivers. I got
a couple of pieces of inch pipe, about two
feet long, down at our shop, and plug
ged them within three inches of one end.
I gave one to Tommy and told him to
make his lightwood into a neat bundle,
gei all the string he could—kite twine,
fishlines or anything, knot them together
and wind them on a stick. I advised him
lo gel a lunch and some matches and meet
me, with the entire outfit, at an old tree
w<‘ could see from our house, at 10 o'clock
next day. I impressed the necessity of
secrecy on him again and went home.
When Tommy and I arrived with our
outsit and lie saw the great black hole, he
visibly quai cd.
"Are ye atraid to go down there?” I
asked.
'Well," he replied, rather dubiously.
"I shouldn't just care to go alone.”
'Neither should I,” I told him; “that’s
the reason I asked you to come along.”
“What do you s'pose 'tis, Frank?”
1 haven't the least idea, but if we have
!u< k we'll soon find out.”
We climbed down into the hole, and
struck a half dozen pine splints into each
01 our torch-holders. As we had no idea
how far we would have to go, we agreed
lo So ahead until my bundle of splints
was used, and return by the light of
Tommy's. We tied the end of his string
to one of the stoneß in the wall, and
spirted. 1 holding the torch aloft and he
unwinding the string. We kept to the
‘id' s of the tunnel, taking hold of pro
jecting points of rock, and looking out
carefully for holes and overhead obstruc
tions.
I he flame of the torch showed a slight
d'alt blowing up the tunnel. Had we

handed the box to Tommy. Would he
never return? I crouched on the cold,
but there* 6 “ n<l wished myself anywhere
Again I heard that awful whirring. It
seemed familiar. Ah, yes. 1 knew now,
it was a hat. I congratulated myself on
Having escaped the humiliation of exhib
iting my fears to Tommy. 1 wasn't afraid
of a bat!
But what was that? Something, some
animal, was approaching now; I could
hear it picking its way among the loose
stones. Now. indeed, I had something
to fear; this was no bat. Whatever It
was, it was coming from the interior of
the cave, and could no doubt see me,
though I could not see it. I had my gun
and my pipe torchholder. I decided to
fling the heavy pipe at it first. A lucky
hit, or even the noise, might discourage
the thing and drive it back. If not I
would club my gun and try and hold it
at bay until Tommy returned with the
matches. J had an idea that these sub
terranean dwellers feared a light; if so,
we could escape, and let the old cave go
hang.
I had the heavy pipe poised for a shot
in tnt* dark, when a voice came from the
creature—Tommy’s voice—crying loudly:
\\ here are ye, Frank? I can’t see your
light.”
When I fell over the rock my ideas of
direction became confused. It was Tommy
returning. We soon had a light again.
Presently the passage enlarged both in
bight and width. The light from the
torch was flashed back to us from many
brilliant points, and we knew that we were
now ip a regular cave. Our excited cries
of admiration as these new and beauti
ful sights hurst upon us. and our contin
ued callings to each other to “look a
here,” and to "see this.” prevented the
bats, whom we could hear flying about
overhead, from approaching near enough
to extinguish our light.
The p<ace had grown out of all resem
blance to a tunnel; in fact, the sides had
receded entirely out of sight, while ail we
could see of the roof was the occasional
scintillations of a ray of light as it en
countered a bit of bright crystal. The
floor was comparatively smooth, and quite
hard. Here and there great white sta.ag
mites. like miniature icebergs, would loom
suddenly out of the surrounding blackness,
startling us at first, and afterward excit
ing our admiration.
From the roof stalactites, like giant
icicles, descended sometimes nearly to the
floor. We had both read of these things,
but had never expected to see them. As
I was waving the torch about I saw what
looked like a great hole in the wall. “Come
here, Tommy,’’ said I; “let’s see what this
is."
Looking straight ahead, we entered the
place. It seemed to be a great room. Tom
my stumbled over something that rattled,
and I fell againsr a stack of hones and
rags. A smothering cloud of dust from
the pile enveloped us at once. ,
“My land, Frank, what's that?” asked
Tommy, as he picked up what looked like
a whitish cannon ball. We were nearly
thrown into fits when on holding It to
the torch we found ourselves gazing into
the empty eye sockets of a grinning human
skull.
Tommy dropped it as though it had been
red hot. and I had no desire to pick it up.
“Gracious. Frank," said he, "somebody's
been murdered.” We backed away from
the gruesome thing, and as I held the
torch aloft we saw that the pile of bones
was fairly studded with skulls, ribs and
fieshless feet and hands. I poked the
mass gingerly with my gun. Bits of
leather, colored rags and bones came tum
bling down.
"It's an old Indian graveyard," I re
marked; “must have fallen through some
time.”
“That's It, that’s it,” cried Tommy ex
citedly.
I put the last of my splints in my torch
holders, and told Tommy we would have
to return now.
"All right," said he, “come on—O,
Frank 1” He looked in my face with eyes
like saucers, and held up the bail of twine.
“We forgot to unwind the string.
We stood and stared at each other like
a couple of idiots for a minute.
"How’ll we ever get out now?” asked
Tommy, his chin beginning to quiver.
"I'll- give it up," I replied, almost as
ready to cry as himself.
Tommy lit his torch and held It above
his head. It illuminated a discouraging
ly small circle. “Well, we've got to make
a start,” said he, with a poor attempt at
bravado. “Come on; I guess we can find
the way. We didn't come so very far.”
We scrutinized the ground for tracks,
but there were none. “We better start,”
said I; “ there's no use standing here and
letting the torch burn out. I guess we can
find it all right. We’Ve got to.”
We turned our backs to the pile of In
dian bones and walked along in silence
for five minutes, Tommy ahead with the
torch. I followed with my gun and arrow.
Suddenly Tommy cried:
"Hooray, Frank, we're all right now!
See this rook that looks like a Windmill?
Don’t you remember that?”
“No,” said I, gloomily; “I never saw it
before.”
“Well, I did, just after we got out of the
narrow par.t of the tunnel. We ll be out
now in short order. 1 ’
Sure enough, the cave began to narrow
rapidly, but instead of the ground rising,
as it should have done, it began to fall
away. I called his attention to the fact,
lilt he said we had not noticed the change
of grade when we eamc in, that was all.
We stumbled and blundered along another
five or ten minutes. I thought the place
was unfamiliar, hut Tommy insitsed that
he was continually finding landmarks.
"We ain't in the tunnel at all,” said I,
noticing that the sides had again reeeded,
leaving us in a large open space. Tom
my took a look around and reluctantly ad
mitted that 1 was right.
“We may as well go hack," said he, and
back we went to I don't know, for we
neither found the tunnel nor the Indian
hones from which we had just come. We
economized our splints; only using two at
a tune, hut in spite of all we could do. the
handle dwindled with alarming rapidity.
Tommy stumbled over a black stone,
which, on account of its being of the same
color as the floor, he had not seen, and
pm the light out. A moment later he de
clared bo had lost the matches, and be
gin io cry. 1 was on the point of joining
him, bin happily 1 remembete.i that after
i'<‘,ng Hiem the last time, l had pul them
in my own pocket. We soon had a light,
and he sat down on the stone to look at
his bruised rh.n.

pose that got in here? 'Spose the Indians
brought it?”
A short survey showed the whole floor
covered with it. so I suggested that it
probably grew there. A further investiga
tion proved the correctness of my surmise:
the whole side of this part of the cave
was a solid wall of shining black coal.
"That'll he worth something,” I tv
marked. "if the railroad goes through
here.”
"11l bet it will,” replied Tommy, “hut
it proves that we are away out of our
reckoning; there was no coal the way we
come."
That was true, and. as our stock of
light wood was getting alarmingly low,
we pushed on with heavy hearts. Half
an hour later, after having tramped wea
rily over miles, as it seemed, of the un
even floor of the cave, bumping and bruis
ing ourselves severely, we lit our last
two sticks.
"I'm most starved to death.” Tommy
complained, and as I was, too. we sat
down and ate our lunch, extinguishing
the torch for economy's sake. Our mouths
were parched and the food nearly choked
us; I could hear poor Tommy choke back
the sobs as he munched away In the dark
ness, and I dared not attempt to speak
lest I should blubber outright.
"Are ye through, Frank?”
“Yes, I wasn’t as hungry as I thought
I was."
“Well, then, gimme a match. We may
as well travel on while the light lasts.”
"I ain't got the matches.”
"Who has?” *
“Why, I give ’em to you.”
“No, you didn't.”
"Yes, I did, too.”
We both searched all of our pockets,
with the result that Tommy found one
half of a match—the head half. (It has
never been agreed between us from that
day to this who lost the matches.) Much
depended on that half a match. Though
there was no perceptive breath of air. we
held our caps close together for shelter
while he struck it. The blue sulphurous
flame sputtered and sizzed, the wood ig
nited. and we applied it to the torch. YVe
had watched it in breathless silence. As
the fat pitch pine blazed up there came
a whirring, rushing sound. "Book out.
Tom." I cried, but too late. The great
cave bat, lured by the light, and rendered
hold hy our silence, swept the torch from
his hand and out it went.
For a moment we sat in perfect si
lence. Our loss stunned us. Then, simul
taneously we hurst into tears. It was Im
possible to any longer keep up a sem
blance of bravery. We cried ourselves
out, after awhile, and then Tommy ask
ed:
"Do you ever expect to get out of here,
Frank?”
“I don't know. Tommy, I don't see how
we can; we've got no light, now, and
when we had. we didn't make any head
way. I don’t know of but one thing more
to do.”
"What's that?"
"We might pray to God to help us.”
"Yes, I thought o' that; can you pray,
Frank?"
"I dunno. Tommy, I ain't never said
anything only my reg'lar ‘now I lay me,'
but we got to try.”
We kneeled down by the great block of
coal, and I prayed as well as I could, ask
ing our heavenly father to deliver us
from that horrible place. When I finished
we both said "amen.” *As we were com
pletely tired out, we did not arise at once,
but continued kneeling, resting our heads
on the cool block.
I believe I was dozing off to sleep when
Tommy asked: "Don’t you hear some
thing, Frank?”
“I seem to hear a kind of a murmur,”
I replied, “but I thought perhaps it was
a buzzing in my head.”
"No, I hear it. It seems to come from
over there,” and he took my hand and
pointed in the direction where, I too,
thought it came from.
After speculating a while, as to what
could be the cause, we decided to inves
’ tigate. We took hold of hands, and, I
feeling carefully ahead with my arrow,
like a blind man, we walked slowly along.
We stopped every little while to listen for
the direction, and found that we had in
variably commenced to head away to the
left. We also discovered to our great
satisfaction that the sound was steadily
increasing in volume. It wasn’t long be
fore we were able to identify the sound, as
that of running water, which was very
welcome to us two thirsty hoys.
We were now able to follow the sound
continuously without stopping to listen. I
remarked that this might help us out, as
running water would be likely- to have an
exit. Tommy advised that we proceed
more cautiously then ever. The stream,
he said, might be the outlet of some deep
and quiet pool, into which we might wa.k
in the darkness. So we renewed our pre
cautions, walking with great slowness, and
I feeling the ground very carefully before
each step with my arrow.
We must have passed a projecting cor
ner, for we exclaimed, both together,
"What's that?” and each, instinctively,
tried to hide behind the other. “That"
was a speck of visible dimness in the
universal black. It appeared in the di
rection from which the sound came. We
stood for a moment regarding it in fear.
We thought of the flaming eyes of wild
beasts, of jack o’ lanterns and the ghosts
of dead Indians.
Tommy, as usual, was the first to ex
press a rational idea. ”1 believe it's day
light." he asserted, hopefully.
"I hope to the Lord it is!” I replied, de
voutly.
Again we advanced. The noise assum
ed the dimensions of quite a respectable
roar, and the light increased so rapidly
that there was no doubt about its being
daylight. Things in our immediate neigh
borhood became dimly visible, until at
last, with joyous shouts, we broke into a
run. We came lo the end of another tun
nel. about fifty feet long, barely high
enough to stand upright in, but wide
enough for a cart. It sloped gradually
downward as it went out, and was closed
at the outer end by a curtain of falling
water, through which the welcome day
light penetrated in rapt radiance, to the
interior.
With a Wild hurrah we climbed up to
the entrance and rushed to the water. It
fell so close to the rock that we caught
it in our hands and drank heartily. We
found that we had accumulated a wonder
ful coat of dirt. Our hands, clothes and
faces were covered with dust, probably
from the Indian burial place. But ho.v
our spirits rose and our hearts bounded
at our providential escape from a most
horrible fate.
Once more we kneeled down on the
headstones, and this time there was no
lack of words in which to express our
Rratltudc. Rut we were not out yet. We
could see nothing beyond th< curtain of
water. However, 1 told Tommy I was
going to dive through It. "There's out
doors,” said 1, "beyond that.”
He advised that we be careful. "There
may he a fall of 100 feet or more outside,”
sntd he, “and we don't want to kill our
selves now we are so near escape.” W
went hack into the cave and brought
stones which we threw out through tin
fall, hut the noise of me water prevented
us hearing them land. We rolled out a
hie one—big ns a bowl—and dropped i
inside the fall. It remained where it
struck, the water splashing off it In ail
directions.
Tommy Stepped on it and I 1.0,<l his
hand, while he ihru-t ills heid and .shoul
ders into the falling water. lie pulled his
herd baek quickly, and as soon as he
could get his breath commenced to laugh.
"Where do you suppose we ate, Frank'.”'
"I'm sure 1 don't know.
"That's Widow falls." and without an
other word he jumped straight out. i fol
lowed at’ once. The curtain was not more
than three or four inches thick, and we
landed in 'he shallow rool a: its base
light in front of the engine house.

NEW KINDS OF WINDMILLS.
They Cnn Be Made of Ploying Cords
or Feathers.
What's the use of buying windmills
when you can make belter ones your
self? Every one knows how to make the
simple windmill hy cutting Into the cor
ners of a square piece of paper and bend
ing the ends in, sticking a long pin
through the center and the ends on a
piece of wood. If, now, you want to make
a windwheel, take a circular piece of
paper five inches in diameter, and, us
ing your compass, draw a circle in It
one inch from the outside. Then draw
about a dozen lines from the center to
the inner circle; cut along these lines with
knife or scissors and then bend the ends
out, taking care to bend each alternate
end in the opposite direction. Then you
have a windwheel which will revolve per
fectly in tlie slightest breeze.
Another kind of windmill can be nicely
made out of a cork and a few feathers
plucked from the old gray hen. Bore a
few- holes into the cork at equal dis
tances from each other, and stick the
feathers into the holes. Then bore the
cork lengthwise and put a hairpin through,
giving it a little betid so that the cork
cannot touch the wood into which it is
stuck to serve as a handle; and now you
have a feather windmill.
A windmill with five wings is a fine
kind to have, and can be easily made out
of an old postal card. First fasten a hoop
of wood to a stick (as shown in the il
lustration), and then cut out five circles
from the postal card, as large as you
can. Slit the circles at four equi-distant
points, turn the ends inward and out
ward alternately, stick Hie ends to the
centers hy a pin and put them on the hoop
at equal distances, and you have a fine
windmill with five parts.
And finally, here is a windmill that you
cannot carry around, but fix it to the
porch and you will enjoy looking at it.
Take a small cigar liox and fasten the
two ends of a spool, having a little piece
of wood fixed in each. A second piece of
wood serves as the axle of the mill on
which a whole spool revolves, to which
little bits of wood are glued. Four holes
are bored in the spool, into which little
sticks are fastened. On the outer ends
of these sticks fasten playing cards or
other bits of stiff pasteboard, to serve as
the wings of the windmill, and you have
the finest boy's windmill ever built.
