IN A VIMiAUK not far from tlia
city of Scrnnton Unco younc
teat-hern from the HIrIi School
wore leisurely inakltif? their way
toward homo one pleasant after
noon in May, chuttlng merrily In
glad iiiitti'lpatlon of a nine par
ty, composed of most of the vil
lage young people, to he htld that very
i--eiilns,
Miss Nancy Morton, of Ithaca, had
been vIhUIhk Norma I.cIkIi. one of the
teachers', and many excursions had
ween made In her honor. They had
crossed the IiIk viaduct at Module, had
visited the silk mills and the electric
llKht plant at Taylor, the steel mill at
Scranton, and lode to Campbell' IciIr
and to Ha Id Mount in the more whk
on, takhiR a camera nlnns; to Kct hiiiiii1
pictures of Hie Joyous company. To
moriuw Nancy would leave for her
home, and as she hail never hen
down a mine, all were anxious to have
her visit one. KvorythhiK had hern
arranged, except who should conduct'
the party tlirntiKli the mine.
"Well, Kills," said pretty Margaret
"Wilson, who was one of the trio, "t
can conduct the party myself. 1 often
KO with Charley when he takes papa's
lunch down at ulKlil. I know the way
and can lu-lns you all hark safely, I'm
sine," . .
"Yes, but we cannot ro In without
permission," said Norma. "Alice, why
don't you ask your papa to take us?
He s a foreman and could do so if he
would."
"I will," wild Alice, "I had never
thouu'ht of that. He will gladly ro, ir
we want him to."
So It was arranged and they separat
ed to meet again that e oning. and
when 7 o'uick tame a merry, laughing
party cio-sctl the Hold m lis way to
the mine. Thry visited the engine
loom and lire room and looked In sur
prise at the glowing bed of coals; then
they stepped on the cage to he lowered
into the mine. Arriving at the foot of
the hhaft they trooped along, ill"
bright lights falling on fair faces and
manly forms, making n striking pic
ture amid the dark surioundings. A
light twinkled before them hi the
darkness, and the foreman called to
the party to stand aside, as a trip of
cars was coming.
They obeyed, and soon a noise was
heard; then the cars drew nearer and
passed on, and the party again pro
ceeded, hut with one exception. This
was Kllsworth Crawford, who, In his
efforts to he nou-- Margaret, who was
"the bright, paitlcular star" of the
evening, hail been crowded to the
icar, and the ambitious driver, on see
ing the foreman tried to hurry his
.stubborn mule, and. unluckily for Klls
worth, who carried no light anil was
unseen by the driver, swung his heavy
whip around, and as lie did so caught
Ellsworth's, hat from his head and
whisked It upon the car of coal.
Kllsworth had no desire to detain the
party, as he thought he could soon
secure his hat and overtake them, so
he hoarded the trip, but his hat was
nowhere to he seen; It had dropped otf
pome distance back. He alighted and
began a search for It by the light of
an occasional match which he took
from his pocket. When he did llnd it
It was mine I, the wheels of thenar
had passed over it. and to his dismay
the party had entirely disappeared
from view. He hurried on in the dl
lection they had taken, calling fre
iuently and stumbling over the un
even road, until far ahead of him he
saw a single light. Thinking It might
be some of his friends coining In search
of him, he made his way toward It. but
found It to be a solitary laborer, weari
ly loading a car of coal.
The fellow looked up as Kllsworth
npproached and Instantly a wicked
gleam shot from his eyes, and when
Ellswoith IihiuIiciI about the party,
he said, sullenly:
"Yes, he had seen them as they
p.is.-ed."
"Did you notice which way they
went?" queried Kllswoith.
"Yes; they followed this road for a
short distance and then turned to the
if-ft." was the answer, while an evil
look crossed the laborer's dusky face.
"Here Is a lamp." he added, "and
you had better hurry,"
Kllsworth took the lamp, thanked
the fellow and follow nil his directions,
while the laborer In turn stealthily
followed him. muttering:
"Yes, I saw them pass, but they
went to the right, while you go to the
left and 1 follow .miii. This Is a glori
ous chiiiii e of riAcngc. Sat'iu is goo I
to his own."

Know that in spite of hard work in the

nnswer and fccIiir nothing but black
walls and dreary darkness, he pursued
his lonely way. Again he heard
sounds behind him and again he lis
tened. All was silent, and once more
he went on. Once more he heard
those footsteps behind and they were
growing nearer. Kearlng he was fol
lowed by a ghostly tenant of the mine,
he broke Into a run, but the faster he
went the faster his pursuer followed,
and gained on him nt every step. Soon
a treacherous blow fiom behind laid
him senseless on the black dust. When
he recovered consciousness he was
bound securely and the wicked eye of
the laborer glaied fiercely at him,
"What Is the matter? "Where am I?"
asked Kllsworth.
"Nothing Is the matter, only you are
my prisoner," replied the fellow with a
llendlsh grin,
"What does this mean? Helease me
nt once!" cried Kllsworth, struggling
to free himself.
"Kasy, now, easy; you will not get
free so easy as you may think."
"Who are you, How dare you com
mit this outrage? ltelease me or I
shall call for help."
"You may call till you are black In
the face, It will do you no good. Now,
if you keep quiet long enough, I shall
answer some of your questions and I
am dying to do so. You are In an
abandoned part of the mine, among
the old workings, where yon may yell
until you are hoarse, nnd no one will
hear you. In tact, you are actually
burled alive. No one saw you come
here and no one will ever look for
you here, nnd you are securely bound
and cannot leave the place alone. You
shall never leave here alive. 1 could
make short work of you now, but I
reserve you for a worse fate, that of
dying by thirst or .starvation In this
awful loneliness. You may be sure t
will keep my word. I am Dick (Sor
dini. I know you don't know me, but
I know .Miti and have known you these
many months. You have won from
me the only girl 1 ever loved, and I
hae made a vow of vengeance. You
can soon tell how I fulfill It. I hate
you with a bit tor, jealous hatred for
coming between me and the girl I lov-
and tonight when you came to me
alone I saw mv chance for revenge
had come and sent you here to die.
I will leave you a few pleasant
thoughts to comfort you In your last
hours. .Margaret Wilson loves you,
she told me so yestetday In the park
at Nay Aug. I Intend to win her love
myself now, and shall use every ef
fort to do so, and one year from this
day she shall be my wife. (!ood-bye.
You won't need this light, there's,
nothing to see, and you can think Just
as well In the dark."
So saying he picked up the lamp,
reached Into Klls worth's pocket, took
a liandkerclii.'f from It, placed It in his
own pocket nnd disappeared.
Kllsworth lay like one stunned until
Dick wns out of bight; then he tried
to leallze his situation. Alone and
hound In ae. abandoned part of a mine.
lie tried to lite, but it was impossi
ble. Ills 0 i"i was hopeless enough.
He could not change from his painful
position, and he hoped that .something
might happen that would save hint
from such a horrible fate. He won
dered what th' fellow wanted of his
handkerchief. Then he began to think
of M? words. And. oh, blessed
thought, -..as it true, could It bo, that
Margaret loved him? He could
scarcely believe It. No pain was too
gieat to bear now. Margaret, his Idol,
loved him, and with those sweet
thoughts ne fell asleep, and for many
hours he knew no more.
To return to the party. "When Klls
w orth's absence was dlscovei"d they
returned and conducted a starch for
him: then, as they could not llnd him,
decided that he must have left the
mine and gone home. The party went
on just as merrily as before, for all
except Margaret. Although .surround
ed by a group of admirers, the trip had
lost Its interest for her nnd she
reached home In a rather unenviable
frame of mind.
She believed Kllsworth was still In
the mine and would have prolonged
the search for him had she dared.
Next morning the little town was In
a fever of excitement. The company
store, the postotlice, and two hotels
had been robbed of their cash, the
safes had been blown open and it must
have been done while the cars were
passing, -else some one would have
heard the explosion. Kllsworth Cravv
foid was missing. Ho had left the
mine party early the evening before,
perhaps thinking he would never he
missed. He had not returned home
and his lied had not been slept In, and
besides ail this a handkerchief with
his name written In ink in the corner
had been found in the postolllcc. H
was streaked with black from the
mine and It was supposed he had car
ried It the evening before, and It ap
parently had caught on a nail and
was drawn from his pocket without
his knowledge. Little did the gossips
know that It was placed there with
great care to direct suspicion just
where It went. Kllsworth was .sus
pected. Detectives were sent for and
begun to work. Kveryone was on tip
toe. Kew doubted his guilt. He was
almost u stranger nnd had worked In a
nearby mine but a short time. Hav
ing come from some far-off place a
few months before. Oh, yes, Klls
worth was surely the guilty one. Hand
some, reckless, dashing Kllsworth!
Somu always knew he was a rascal;
they could tell that nt a glance, ns
some always can. Hut poor Margaret.
She nroso In the morning with an
aching heart. Her eyes burned from
having passed a sleepless night. How
she felt when she heard the news no
one ever knew; not a muscle of her
face betrayed her feelings. She never
lost faith In her lover, never believed
him guilty. She went to school, met
her pupils with n quiet "flood morn
ing," and the daily exercises com
Vnenced. The day dragged Itself nlong
slowly.nnd 3.30 came nt last nnd school
was dismissed, but Margaret remained
In her room until all the other teachers
had gone. She wnnted to be alone
she wunted to think, Sho went home
nnd went to her room, silent and
thoughtful, nnd after a time concluded
Hint Kllsworth was still In the mine
somewhere nnd sho would go herself
nnd find him. She had not known
him long, but she knew that ho was
Inexpressibly dear to her. There was
no dnnger. Sho knew the way well,
ns she had often accompanied her
brother when ho carried hor father's
lunch at night, If ho happened to work
an overshlft.
Hnvlnff secured a null of her broth
er's, she donned it and a cap of her
father's, with n tnlncr'n lamp hooked
In the front, and when darkness came,
stole out of the bouse, pressing to her
heart a glove of Kllswnrth's, which she
had picked up unobserved the previous
evening while searching for him. Near
the gato she saw Ilrave, 11 noble dog
belonging to her lover. She patted
him and caressed him, then went on
her mission, the dog following her.
As she drew near the mine she grew
more cautious and pulled her cap well
over her eyes to avoid suspicion. A
new thought struck her. She led the
way to the cage nnd Induced the dog to
follow her; he could help her find his
master. Sho then bade the dog lie
down, gave the signal, placed her arms
about the animals neck and In an
other Instant was down the mine. Wlt'i
n wildly beating heart she led I'.uva
to where she could remember of Lav
ing last seen her lover, gave him the
glove and bade him take It to his mas
ter. He seemed to understand a once
what was wanted, sniffed around a
little, then started off, with Margaret
grasping him by the collar. On they
went over the rough road, she finding
much dllll -ulty In restraining the
eager nn'mal. While she was tugging
nt his collar and stumbling along, she
saw Dick approaching, almost on a
run, his face ashen, his expression
fearful to behold, and ,she shrank
aside fearing discovery, but her alarm
was needless; he glanced neither to
lip lit nor left, but passed by and she
was once more alone with her
thoughts.
He had been working alone In his
chamber that night, when he saw
some men pass on their way to the
very part of the mine where poor Klls
worth lay. He heard one of them say:
"I leave tomorrow for the south, and
now that this beastly lawsuit Is set
tled, I want to show you sonic of the
old workings, here to the left, that I
want opened up while I nm gone."
Dick's heart stood still. What should
he do? Discovery was certain. He
stood Irresolute, but only lor a min
ute, then started on full speed for the
foot of the shaft, carrying n can of oil
with him. A diabolical thought
crossed his mind and he intended to
act upon It Instantly. He would burn
the breaker, none of them would live
to denounce him, even If the crime
was discovered. He would he free. He
ascended the shaft and soon a bright
tongue of flame shot forth and the
breaker wns doomed, and It seemed
that the men in the mine were doomed,
too, as the inof had fallen near the
slopi- a short time before, making
cgiess by that way Impossible. A
large crowd soon collected. Dick
Joined it, mingling with his friends,
who congratulated him upon his es
cape, while Margaret traveled on, un
conscious of her danger.
She thought she had walked for
hours; she was so tired. The place
grew strange to her, but still she
struggled on hi inlcally until she heard
a thundcrnu1 clash, the dog broke
from her grasp and she was almost
burled beneath large masses of coal
and rock.
"When the noise hnd subsided, she
beard some cue groan near her, and
Urnvo was howling dismally. She
tried to extricate herself, but could
not. Her light was extinguished, and
be:' lamp was gone. She heard some
one moan as if In pain and listened:
low all was silent as the grave. She
ondi red how long she might be com
pelled to remain there. Would some
one never come? She could not ac
complish hep purpose now. Was no
one near? She would call, and natur
allv enough she called for the one who
was uppermost In her mind.
"Kllsworth, come to me and save me.
oh Kllsworth!" sho cried, raising her
voice.
"Is that you, Margaret?" asked a
feeble volco that she recogn'zed as
Ellsworth's.
"Yes," she cried, gladly. "I am be
neath this rock. Where are you."
"I am here, bound band and foot,
and I'll bo blessed If 1 can move an
Inch," came the feeble answer. 'How
came you here?"
"I came to find you, feeling certain
you were still In the mine, and I got
(i. light under a fall of roof."
"Did you really care what became
of me?" asked Kllsworth,
"Can you doubt It?" was her only
answer.
A few more words passed between
bis wife, If they ever- got out of there
them and JInrgarot had promised to be
alive, which seemed doubtful.
In a short time, however, they could
hear men at work, but they seemed to
be far off. The sounds grew plainer,
and they thought nearer every mo
ment. Soon they heard a deafening
noise; the wall near them opened, and
a glorious cheer greeted their ears.
Margaret uttered n glad cry and a
dozen noble miners were beside her.
When she was released she found Klls
worth within a few feet of her. with
his faithful dog's head on his breast.
Ho had swooned and a few of the men
carried him to the surface, some as
sisted Margaret, while others wont to
rescue their fellow workmen, The
rest is soon told. Dick fled at hear
ing of his rival's lescuo nnd ho has
never been heard of since.
Margaret kept the promise she made
In the mine, nnd she and Kllsworth
live a happy married life. Kllsworth
says he has learned to carry a lamp
when visiting a strange mine, and he
believes even then It is best to keep
up with the party. All of the men in
the mine were saved through the open
ing made Into the adjoining mine,
THE PEOPLE OF MARS.
If Men Cannot Live There It Is Sue
Rested That Ghosts May.
1'iom Harper's Weekly.
Astronomer Hrnoks, of Geneva,
thinks Mars Is Inhabitable. Astiono
mer llolden, of Now York, thinks not.
Dr. llolden thinks men would freeze
In Mars. Dr. Brooks thinks that Dr.
Holden's assumptions are not war
ranted by the fncts. Hut the
two nstronomeis seem to dis
agree about th3 facts, for Dr.
Brooks, who has seen tho Martian
canals, says that Dr. llolden disbe
lieves In them.
Hut supposing Dr. llolden to be tight
about the frostlness of Murs, why
should not unfree.ablo creatures live
there? Dr. S. D. McConncll In "The
Involution of Immortality" speculates
hopefully about tho ability of active
and progressive human souls to build
up for themselves during earthly life
a physical fabric, made of Indestructi
ble ether, which shall survivo tho body
of flesh and flourish comfortably In
frost, flames, or water. These lnds
tructlblo bodies would bo material nnd
fit to express the physical life of ration
al souls. They seem to he very much
such bodies ns ghosts nnd spirits have
always been understood nnd expeitcd
to have, hut Dr. MoConnell makes
them seem likelier and more compio
heuslble by suggesting that they are
made of a real substance, nnd that
that substnnrc Is the lumlnlfercus
ether. He writes In the light of such
recent additions to our knowledge of
this ether as have come through the
experiments of Struve, Helmholtz, Lotd
Kelvin, Dnlbear, Tesln, ltontgen nnd
others, nnd through the workings of
the X-rny and wiieless telegraph up
patatus. It dnsen't really bear on Dr, IloldenV
views nbout Main being uninhabitable
to say that ghosts could live there, for
he has not 'been speculating sillotit
ghosts, Jam creatures like ourselves.
Hut Mara ns a place of residence for
souls with bodies made of Indestructi
ble ether Is more Interesting than Mars
with no one on It nt all. Moreover,
If rational beings with Indesttuctlble
bodies which can prevndo matter are
scientifically convolvdable, modified
bodies, not necessarily Indestructible,
but adapted to Mars, are concclvenblo

ative nssoclatlon, nnd opened shortly
after 10 o'clock by Alexander's band
playing the "Star Spangled Hanner,"
the nudlence rising nnd uncovering,
This was followed by a selection, en
titled "Whispering rTowers." Doth se
lections were well tendered nnd elicited
much fa.vorablo comment. Hev. H. 11.
Welles, D. D asked the Invocation,
nnd Joseph H. T.lppencott rendered n
trombone olo, "The Holy City," in ex
cellent style. Mr, I.lppincott was ac
companied by tho full instrumentation
of the band.
The choir of the Wyoming Methodist
Kplscopal church, under the leadership
of Hev. Stephen .lay, sang a patriotic
song, which was well tecelvcd, the
singers being loudly npplnuded. Tho
voices of the choir blend beautifully,
and their selection showed careful
training on tho part of the leader.
PHMSlDnNT'S ADDHKyS.
Benjamin Dorranco, of Wllkes-Barre,
president of tho nssoclatlon, delivered
.1 brief addicts. He said, In part:
While coming to this spot this morning my
glamo travelled oier the Port" I'ort cemetery
and I saw that oilier guves were being decor
ated. I saw tligs which hail been placed o.er
our Mildieis' graves on Deioiatlon diy still wav
ing and thought it i.s a happy condition for us
that wc liavo two decoration iI.oh and that this
is one of them. The only cause wp havi for re
gret Is tho lack of enthulam in our children,
They should be brought here and should be taught
to honor the memories ol thoro who He buried
hero, whoso memoiles we today gather here to
perpetuate. 1 nlcvs we perpetmte the memories
of the Ik rocs who hav helped lo mike our country
gloiiou.s in the paat wp innnot hope to bo gieat
In the tiitnic. Whin this era of speculation pisfs
their will lip another ebb of the tide and unless
wp have a strong feiiing of patriotism the I'nited
States wdl eventually need an cmpcior to pcipetu.
ate it.
Alexander's band played "The Drum
mer of the Ciiiurd," and the Methodist
Kplscopal choir led In singing "Ameri
ca," the audience stnnding.
Hev. Kthelbert D. Warllcld, DL. D
president of Lafayette college, was
then Introduced nnd delivered the ad
dress of tho day. Mr. Warfleld's ad
dress, which was of an historical na
ture, was entitled, "Our Debt to tho
rioneer."
"There is nothing more striking In
tho study of that department of history
which may be called current opinion
than tho way In which facts take new
forms and episodes received different
interpretations from those accepted In
other times." said Dr. Warfleld. "Per
haps I should spend a few moments
In Justifying the expression which I
have just used nnd in explaining what
I mean in speaking of such a depart
ment of history as current opinion."
BL'SINKSS OK HISTORY".
Continuing, tho speaker said each
age has Us own opinions. It Is us
much the business of history to recoru
these things as to record physical
fncts. Indeed, the history of thought
is more Important than tho history ot
deeds because the deeds arc poor,
forceless thlnss.
"Were I to picture to you today a
simple tomb of brick built into a hill
side on nn ordinary American farm
you would remain unmoved but when
I speak the name of Wasblngtnn.mom
orles of Hoston, Trenton nnd York
town, of tho blood-tracked snow of
Valley Forge, of the victorious general,
of the sagacious statesman, ot the self-
denying patriot, bring joy to your
heart nnd tears to your eyes, nnd that
humble tomb stirs you as the vision of
the mausoleum of the greatest con
queror Is powerles sto do," continued
the speaker, "You gather here today
around this simple memorial with a
reverence which few ever show to the
tomb of kings. Men go to gape and
stare at tho monuments of the mighty
dead, but few with tho feelings that
bring you heie.
"This fact, the mere fact nf your
presence nnd of mine tells the story
ot our regard for those who hewed a
path for civilization and Christianity
through the forest and met hero ono
of tho common reverses ot tho pio
neer," TilK rRKSKNTATION.
Dr. Warfleld's address was followed
by a selection by the band entitled,
"Sweet and Dow," after which Judge
Alftcd Darte, of Wllkcs-Barre, pie
sented on behalf ot Lieutenant Charles
H. Ulley post, 067, Grand Army
nf the Republic of Wyoming, to
the Monumental association two 100
pound parrot guns. These guns were
mounted during the- War of the Rebel
lion In tho casemates of Fort Han
cock, nt Sandy Hook, N. J., and formed
a part of the defences nf tho southern
entrance of the New York harbor. Tho
guns, though obsolete at the present
time, look as though they were capable
of doing eflliic-nt service at tho tlma
they were in use. They were dis
mounted u few years ago nnd the old
fort was partly torn down to make
room for tho more modern coast de
fences. The guns were presented to Lieut.
Charles II. Riley post, 517. Grand Army
ot tlu Republic of Wyoming, by the
government, and with tho consent of
the ladles of the Monumental nssocla
tlon was placed In tho association's
plot nnd the transfer to the nssocla
tlon was for tho purpose of having the
guns cared for after the members of
the post have passed away. Kach gun
weighs 0,800 pounds nnd each Is accom
panied by ten projectiles of tho kind
used by tho gun.
RKSOI.CTIONS PASSDD.
Tho following preamble and resolu
tion, ns unnnlinously passed by tho
post In making tho transfer, was also
read:
