8tuart went down on tlie oiglit ex-
press anrl^next day at Cleveland was
In conference with tbo other owners.
The result of ttm conference was what
he had anticipated. The terms of the
union were rejected. It was decided
by the'other owners that a force of
uicu should' be at once placed at work
with gteatu shovels on the stock piles
ao as to move the ore, and in case
th<re was trouble the troops wonld be
called oyt. Stuart refused to take ac-
tion on bis own mines. He would not
yet precipitate matters hy getting new
men either for the stock piles or the
mines. He came back home the next
day with the feeling that he was at
present in a condition of indecision and
waiting. He could not sympathize
with the strike, he did not believe the
union was wise In refusing to let the
Champion miners go to work, and he
could not help feeling that a great ca-
lamity of some kind was impending.
It was two days after bis return that
the event occurred which really shaped
and molded bis whole after life. The
mines were still manned by pump men.
They hod not been called out by the
union, for the reason that if once the
water in the mines rose above the dif-
ferent levels and flowed in among the
timbers the mines would become ruin-
ed, and the loss would be as heavy for
the miners as the owners ia case the
strike ended and work was again re-
sumed. From six to eight men remain-
ed at each mine. There were an engi-
noer, an assistant engineer, two fire-
men and three or four pump men, ac-
cording to the size and number or
pumps. These were kept going day
and night, as the water rose very rap-
idly If left to flow.
Stuhrt bad gone up to the Davis
mine, one of the newer ventures of bis
father and recently developed. Its
greatest depth was 900 feet. It had a
manhole with ladders and a shaft at
some distance from It for the “skip” or
Iron carriage used for hauling ore to
the surface. There were six men at
this mine in charge at this time. „
Stuart had come to the engine house
and was talking with the engineer
When Eric came in.
Stuart called him over to the dry-
room, where the miners changed their
clothing for miner's dress.
“Erie, 1 want to go dowD into the
'iBise. ’ Won't you go with me? I want
to sec again for myself what the work
Is. and besides there Is a new pump at
the bottom that l want to look at.”
Eric consented, and the two soon had
on the miner’s dress and were going
down the ladders. It was gettiug late in
the afternoon, and they left orders with
tlie engineer that when they gave the
signal from the bottom he might let
down the skip, and they would come
up in that
For an hour they explored different
levels. Stuart was restless and seemed
Intent on realizing as fully as possible
Just boor the miners worked. He climb-
ed up into difficult places and even
lired off a blast in one chamber, using
one of the powder sticks left by the
men When they came out.
At last be and Eric stood at the bot-
tom.of the mine. This was an excava-
tion'about 14 feet across, and the wa-
ter ran fn'rery much as If it had been
• cistern. By leaning back against the
ladders the light from 900 feet a bora
could he seen. Eric was sitting thus
wltli hi& hack to the (adder rounds and
Jiis feet in the water which rap oyey
the floor of the mine about four inches
deep and Stuart waft examining the
pump at the other tide of the shaft
wticu a terrible thing happened. A
noise like the roar of a torrent grew
about those two men. and before Eric
could get ouf from his position against
the ladders a mass of iron ore came
ru«b!«g down the manhole, breaking
out rounds of tlie ladders as ft fell, and,
ug from side to side, struck Erie
shoulders with terrific force and

Stuart was at his aide in a moment,.
He raised him and by the light of the
candid in his bat saw the nature of the
accident. He could not think whether
the mass had fallen or been thrown
purposely into the shaft. He dragged
Eric auay from the foot of the ladder.
He was seriously injured. With the
one thought of getting bin) to t.he top
as sooa as possible Stuart seized the
lever at the bottom of the ore' abaft
and pulled It back as a signal to the
eugineer to let down the skip. There
was no answering signal, and Stuart
pulled the wire rope aguiu. Still no an
owey. He looked up. through the main
shaft. Wiwt was that? The pump had

Into Stuart's mind. lie was a prisoner
witli a helpless wounded man at the
bottom of a mine 900 feet deep, the en-
gine house was ou fire or some accident

of the skip, the pumps had stopped, and

lie pulled the lever again and again
and iu his excitement shouted like a
madman. There was no answer from
above. The manhole ladders were still
clear. Even as they were, with the
broken places, he was strong and vig-
orous and could climb out. But not
with the burden of Eric. At that mo-
ment a charred fragment of wood float-
ed down the ore shaft and dropped
hissing in the water. He realized that
he stood in the presence of death. He
offered a prayer for help. He sup-
ported Eric as best be could. The wa-
ter was dow above bis knees and rap-
idly rising.
CHAPTER III.
THE RESCUE.
As the facts of his position forced
themselves more clearly upon him, the
first excitement over, Stuart grew
calmer. The candle in his hat was
nearly burned out, but be bad another
one that, after the fashion of the min-
ers, he had thrust Into bis boot when
he changed bis dress in the dryroom
He pulled this out and lighted it, pul
ting it in the candle bolder in place of
the piece to nearly gone.
Then be looked at the ladders care-
fully. The mass of broken ore which
bad fallen down the manhole had bro-
ken out a dozen rounds at the very
foot of the ladder. By stretching up
to his full height Stuart could just
reach an unbroken round.
But wbat could be do with the dead
weight of Eric? He could never lift
him up that distance. For once and
only one swift second Stuart consider-
ed the thought of leaving Eric. It was
simply the love of life asserting itself.
Why should both men die? His death
would uot save Eric. It was only
second, and then he felt the shock of a
statement he made to himself that life
was not worth having if certain mem
ories had always to be carried with
one. He could never abandon the man
who had once risked his life to save
him, when the danger was fully as
great as now.
“Bnt. O God,” Stuart cried #ut, “to
die drowned like a rat in a hole!” The
love of life was strong in him. He felt
the water rising more and more rapid
ly. It was nearly to his waist now. He
felt the biood from the wound in his
shoulder warming his own side as he
held up the unconscious body. Once
in awhile Eric stirred. Once he opened
bis eyes, and Stuart thought he was re
covering. If only be could regain
enough strength to help himself even a
little! Stuart’s mind went into a whirl
as he thought of all possible ways to
pull himself and Eric up even a short
distance. But the bottom of the mine
was of such a shape that there were
n.o projections or slopes which afforded
even .U foothold.
The fire at the top was evidently
blazing fiercely. Fragments of charred
wood dropped dowq (he ofo shaft.
Leaning over and looking up, Stuart
could see a great flaming mass of
twisted beams and iron rods curling
ovey the moutb of the shaft. He moved
over under the manhole, dragging Eric
Bvltb him, and looked up that The
flames and smoke were sweeping over
it like mist over a ridge. He thought
that even at that distance fle could see
that the ladders at the top had caught
and were blazing fantastically.
He gave up all hope. Still, with the
instinct of life strong in him. he drag-
ged Eric over to the pump, which stood
Just opt of the water now, and by the
exercise of alj.jfls strength he managed
to place fbe body upon it in such a
way that it was two or three feet
above himself as be stood op tfle bot-
tom of the floor of the mine. Tjae wa-
ter had risen now to his armpits and
was whirling around him in a great red
pool. He shuddered, it looked so like
biood in fhe light of tjje candle. The
movement be bad fnade with Eric, to-
gether with the contact witii tlie -cold
water, had roused him. He sfifijefl
even spoke feebly.
“Where are we?” he muttered.

Eric groaned and closed his eyes.
Tbe» be opened them again, and the
sight of Stuart’s pale fac;e seemed to
tell him a part of the truth. The water
was running over the band of his right
arm, which hung down helpless from
his wounded shoulder. He roused him-
self, evidently with the greatest diffi-
culty.
'•you will drowu. Leave me. I am
dying anyway.”
“No. no, Brio- J wi.l not leave you
here alone!” Btuart spoke calmly, al-
most cheerfully. Eric’s face was droop-
ing over close to Stuart’s shoulder.
Stuart kissed his cheek and at that
very moment lie heard a mau's voice,
the sweetest sound he ever heard,

District court convenes the first
Monday in September it being the
them completely exhausted, they
reached the first drift from the bot
tom. There was a wooden platform
here, and the drift ran out into the
sides of the hill several hundred feet.
Stuart and lys unkuown rescuer lean-
ed a moment panting against the side
of the wall, while Eric lay on the plat-
form to all appearances lifeless. •
“We can’t stay here long,” gasped
Stuart. “See the water coming up!”
He pointed down the black well from
which they had climbed so painfully.
The rushing water and the falling in of
ore banks made a terrifying uproar
about them.
“We can get out on this level,” re-
plied his companion.
“Wbati How’s that? We are 800
feet below ground here.”
“The old Beury shaft opens into this
drift. I walked in here this afternoon
myself. Here is where l heard you
shout for help. There! Don't you feci
that breeze blowing through the drift?”
Stuart turned his face and felt the
passing of a cooi wave of air. And
then it flashed across his memory that
several years before, when a boy, he
had himself climbed down into the old
Beury shaft, which opened up on the
side of the hill, and made bis way to
the level of the Davis miue where he
now stood. The mines were some-
times connected in this way, though
the abandoned passage would often be-
come choked and blocked up by falling
masses of ore.
But there was no time to lose, even
with this unexpected avenue of escape.
The two men caught up Eric and hur-
ried as fast as their burden would al-
low up the passage connecting tbe
main with the deserted shaft. After
walking with their burden about 1100
feet tlie drift turned abruptly to the
right and began to ascend sharply. It
grew more difficult to carry Eric, but
tbe danger from the water was now
over. The old passage was really a
tunnel let Info the side of the hill at a
sharp inellng instead of a shaft sunk
down vertically from above. When
they had reached a point above the im-
mediate reach of the water, they sauk
down exhausted again, and by the
flickering light Stuart first noticed who
bis rescuer was.
“I haven’t any cards with me, hut I’ll
introduce myself,” he said in a tone
that made stngrf smile, gnd yet there
was nothing flippant or Igcfcipg in seri-
ousness about tbe man. “I am tbe new
minister at tbe ebureb with the clock
in tbe tower—St, John’s. I arrived In
Champion two days ago. My name is
Andrew Burke. You are Mr. Duncan,
t&e rpioe pwner? I am glad to meet
you.”
He reached out bis band, and Stuart
took it, clasping it over tbe body of
Eric. He felt a strange thrill as he did*
so. (Somehow the peculiar formality of
the man's speech struck him as a token
a special kind of strength. He
seemed to feel that here was a mpp
who, whatever jfls oddities, was pos-,‘
lessed of qualities that were' really {
very rare and valuable.
“I owe you my life and that of my
friend here,” he said. “It all seems |
very strange to me, your appearance.'
I had given myself up for lost. I j
should certainly have drowned if you*
had not appeared.”
“yes; I think you would—that is, uu-'
less you bad ie|t the pody of your
friend here, and you don’t look like fflp
kind of man to do that. But we ought
to move ou. \Ye need to get him to the
doctor as soon as possible. My appear-
ance here is very simple, and I can tell
that afterward. Shall we move on?”
Sfuarf eagerly assented, and they
Stumbled PU up the tunnel. Their prog-
ress was very slow, for Eric wpa en-
tirely a dead weight, and' neither
art nor his companion was a powerful
man physically. They had gone but a
short distance, however, when lights
appeared farther up the shaft, and
fioop th(ey were surrounded by a group
of miners, accompanied by Dr. Saxon.
There was no time fop more fhan tpp
briefest explanations. The party took
Eric from Stuart and the minister, and
soon they were standing out on the
side of the hill in the starlight. The
ppol night air blew about Stuart, and
fee th^nkpfl God for his life. Farther
up on the bill g hepp of blazing ruins
marked the place where the englpp
house had stood, while nt a distance
the ladder hole smoked and flamed like
B small volcano, showing Hint the tim-
bers were blazing fiercely below.
“Take Eric to my bouse. We are not
far from it," said Stuart,
“Yes, and hurry up, men,” added the
doctor. “I'll go on ahead with them,
Stuart. Eric needs attention as soon
as possible,”
The doctor and the miners with BrlP

followed with the minister as fast as
ho could. But now tbabjbe strain was
over he felt weak and faint.

Dr. Ghas. H. Utter, a prominent)
physician, of Panama, Colombia, in
a recent letter states: “Last March j
I had as a patient a young lady
sixteen years of age, who bad a
very bad attack of dysentery. Ev
erything I prescribed for her
proved ineffectual and she was
growing worse every hour. Her
parents were sure she would die
She had become so weak that she
could not turn over iu bed. What
to do at this critical moment was
a study for me, but I thought of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhce* Remedy and as a last
fesort prescribed it. The most
wonderfql resqlt was effected
Within eight hours she was feel-
ing much better; inside of three
days she was upon her feet and
at the end of one week was en-
tirely well.” For sale by E E,

class, by authors of national repu-
tation.

APPENDICITIS.
Some Facts Regarding Its
Rapid Increase.
Appendicitis among Americans
is certainly increasing and while
this is probably due to the excite-
ment and worry of American busi-
ness life, it is more often directly
traceable to constipation. Appen-
dicitis is caused by pxtraneous
matler entering the vermiform ap-
pendix and not by the swallowing
of seeds. If the digestive organs
are kept in perfect condition so
the food is duly ass'mulated and
the bowelrf move gently, at least
once a day, appendecitis will nev-
er develop. Don’t take chances.
Regular doses of Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup l’epsin before meals will
strengthen the organs of digestion,
your appetite will be good, consti-
pation disappears and yon feel
better in every way. Dr- Cald-
well’s Syrup Pepsin does not re-
lax the bowels by irritation, bat
by curing indigestion, the Cause
of coustipalion. The Jacksboro
Pharmacy sells it in 50c and $1 00
bottles, under a positive guaran-
tee. Write for book of testimo-
nials to Pepsin Syrup Oo., DepL
