WE WIN. A RAILROAD STORY. By Herbert E. Hamblem. (Copyright, 3899, by the S. S. McClure Cos.) CHAPTER VII. I Become Morose and Take to Hunting— A Strange Find—Tommy and I Make preparations—The Underground Tunnel. Alone In the Dark—Terribly Frightened. The Great Cave—lndian Relics—Lost and 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 ' own more this might have sot us to 'unking. After going along In silence f,, r some time, Tommy- told me to r ting was out to the bare end, and pro- I'l-ed that, while there wu| hut one pas- f ‘ge, we keep my string as we could not possibly fail lo find our way back. approved the suggestion, hut advi-ed b a’ hi lemiii, fall up what lie had paid ' and living it along, then we would i: all to use should wo find the pas fa a 1 branching out. 1 saw he didn't like 1 " blea. especially as a turn had obscur 'd Hie opening, but. is 1 promised to wait. - lung the light going, he consented,-and 1 noise made, clattering over the ia stones, kept me com 'any until he Bet to the smooth rock, then the silence ' awtnl. | sat on n bowlder and peer •' 'n:o the gloom. was becoming momentarily more ner '■c I wished 1 hadn't sent him hack ' !,1P string, or had gone with him.

With my senses thus rudely le.-tor.d, I sought for matches to relight w!?. only lo remember that I had 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.

'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. (To Ee Continued.) Florida Central & Peninsular R. R.

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.
