Rising Just bevond it is Cardiff Hill, the loea tion of many of the pranks of the boys of Mark Twain's vigorous, virile imagination. One ean still plunge in the “swimmin’ hole,” but the covered bridge has been neglected and is sorely in need of repairs More permanent and interesting still is the eave which became the haunt of the boys in their daredevil games of playing “Injun’” and banditry. The entrance is in the side of a hill before whieh is a picturesque pienie ground, and so wide has been the knowledge of these underground nssages through reading of Mark wain's characters that the cave is ronstantly a mecca of visitors from all over the United States, A guide is always at hand and a small fee is charged for being conducted through the eaves. It is worth while to hear the guide tell of the incidents in the lives of Mark Twain's “boys” which took place in the windings of these limestone phesages, No better deseription of them could be had than in “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” itself. A pienic had been arranged and a ferryboat hired for the oceasion. After luncheon, somebody shouted: “Who's ready for the cave?” 9 “Everybody was,” writes Mark Twain, “Bundles of candles were pro- cured, and straightway there was a general seamper up the hill. The mouth of the eave was up the hillside ~an opening shaped like a letter A. Its massive oaken door stood un. barred.

Tom Hawyer knew as much of the eave as any one” Tt is the presdnee of the limestone, which is the major raw material in the manufacture of Portland Cement, that caused the Atlas Portland Cement Company to loeate its large modern plant at Hannibal, where the Tom Sawyer caves run unger its property at various points, k and wiry, All t workers, The + wituntion Instific. ave it so, but with af rapid reasoning. ex prompted him to desperately.
