r ! I, I i i: 1 : s 1 AN AWFUL SUSPENSE. HE ABVEMTBJE THEEE MISEBS Hil IS A PROSPECT nOLE. Big Sandy Thorn peon and Simpson, his partner, had finished filling the ore buck et with goodly load of the toagh, worth less rock in hich they had been bur rowing for months, and leaning on their shovels watched it go swinging slowly ep toward the little 4 by 7 patch of day light that showed the entrance to the haft, 127 feet above them. Down the deep hole caae muffled ecreechings from the rope as it wound upon the drum and the creaking of the ill adjusted "whin" and they could bear Ike Wisdom's vicious objurgations as he urged their sullen little beast round and round in the dusty circles in which he had plodded, pulling up the bucket, un til be hd grown onesided. Simpson was dumpish and morose. He craped querulously in the rack dust with bis shovel and roundly berated the lack that had sent him to Colorado to dig in a bole for nothing. He cursed Colorado and he cursed Parker county ; Le cursed the bacon on which be sub sisted until, as he pathetically said, be was "ashamed to look a bog in the face," and be cursed the mine and old Sandy Thompson, who sat idly pounding awsy nice round hole he was finishing up wi:h artistic care for the reception of a dvnamite stick. Old Sandy grinned quiziically at Simp son through his bushy red whiskers and puffed silently at the malodorous black pipe, which was the joy of his life, ne was used to Simpson's discontented m tit terings and they disturbed the silent phWgmatic old Scot no more than the buzzing of a fly. Iais cakelessne-s. Ike at the top of the shaft, when the bucket came up, kicked the board under it The lopsided beast turned in bis tracks and let the load swing down, and Ike tugged it out on the dump and emptied it with much pauting and effu sion of sweat. Then he dragged the pon lerous tub bick slowly. Empty, it was a pretty good load for a man, being built of thick, oil soaked staves, hooped almost solidly from bottom to top with heavy irons, and thickly incrusted w ith hard, heavy clay and bits ef rock driven into every crevice by long use. Ike prided himself niuch on the dex terity with which he handled this big bucket by it great wrought iron bail. He swung it jauntily over the mouth of the shaft, and as he had done a thousand times before with graceful success, kick ed the board from under it as he swung the rope around to hook it in its accus tomed place. But the hook clanging against the bail failed to catch. The great bucket disap peared like a shadow into the shaft's dark mouth. Ike lungtd wildly forward to catch it, lost his fcolholdand he, too, w ent into the shaft. Down at the cool bottom of the hole Cimpson was still at his dismal cursing "I wiah," said he petulantly, "I had never seen this cussed bole. I wish I iraa dead. I good God, Sandy, the bucket's looser THI FALLING BI CKET. Sandy's burly frame fiew up like an acrobat's. In the twinkling of an eye he was pressed into the comer of the shaft, clutching back so bard agatnstttie rocsy wall that the tips of his fingers whiten ed. Simpson had dropped hi pick, and he, too, was pressing the rocks, holding back his breath, flattening his outstretched hands against the resistless walls. And still the open space in the center of ths shaft's bottom seemed scarcely big enough to drop a hat in. Simpson tried to close his eyes, but tried in vain. They were fixed beyond the power of his will upon the falling bucket. He could tee it dropping, lung ing fro m aide to side of the narrow hole. He sw it tear clouds of dust from the clay hard pan, saw it reach and strike deeper layers of porphyry. It bounded from side to side of the bole, striking now and again on a jutting fragment and tearing it loose ; it rattled and clattered against the hard rock. It seemed to come so slowly far more lowly than it used to when the rope had let it down. To Simpson years, centuries seemed to pass as the bucket clanged and rattled against the sides of the shaft. He thought with all the vivid rapidity of men thus facing impending death. He saw his old Lome in the Missouri bottom lands, his mother's face and the face of the maiden who waited for bis return. And he saw the blood-dabbled face of the man he had stabbed over the faro table down in Tucson. He wished now that he had never quarreled with that THI SURPRISE ENDED. It was an actual relief to see that the bucket waa coming faster now. Its rat tling and clangings bad merged into a continuous rolling, ear-stunning roar. He made his eyes close at last There came a crash, terrific and re sounding, and Simpson found himself standing stiffly against the rock wall, laughing feebly like a hysterical school girl, and stupidly fingering at a long rent in hi flannel, under which he wa be ginning to feel the smart of an equally long red furrow scratched across his breast Across the tangle of twisted and bent hoops and splintered, riven staves that filled the bottom of the shaft he bsw old Sandy also standing sturdily up. Sandy was gazing up the shaft, his red whiskers bristling with rage. Simpson followed his gaze. He saw hanging by his wrenched arms from the fifth round of the Udder that run down the shaft, Ike Wisdom, twisting about to look down upon them with white, scared face. Sandy shook hi fist at the clinging man vehemently. "Now, ye think ye're aomned smart," be roared. And they had to lay off three dav while they went down the trail to Fair play and lugged back the half of a coal oil barrel wherewith they fashioned a new ore backet All the odd moment of these three day were spent in impressing upon Ike 'Wisdom the positive necessity of hook ing the rope to the new bucket before he kicked away the board. k'aiuat City Timet.

One boUIe cared me. S. A. Lovell, Franklin, Ven ango county, Pa. Loading a Big Liner. Did you ev r note ths fact that on of the great transatisntk' greyhounds sel dom remains in port mors than a week T During that short time she is unleaded and loaded, which, in ths case of a ves sel like the Majestic, or the City of Xew York, maans the bas iling of some fif teen thousand ton of cargo and of coaL Almost all the British steamships send over ths coal to be burned in the east ward passage in sailing vessels, only ship ping enough in Liverpool for the west era run. Thus they have more bold room fljr freight, for which they get snor. mosey than it cost to send ever coal by sail. This work of loading vessel cannot be done without extreme care. The vary safety in an ocean monster depends in a great measure on the manner in which the cargo is stowed! . Nothing is more dangerous to a veassl than to have its cargo shift in rough weather, and hence only experienced men are engaged in the stevedore busi ness. The stevedore therefore does sot regard himself a an ordinary laborer, but as a skilled workman. To load and unload a cargo properly is an art, for a vessel may be strained in unloading as well as loading, Then, again, the bad loading of ves sel may not only dciay the voyage of a greyhound, but it may cause her to labor and roll to such an extent fc to render all the passengers on board the vessel seasick. HO TH WOEK 13 DISTEJBITED. The distribution of weight so that no undue strain be sustained by the iron hull cf the vessel is the problem that can be seen successfully solved every day by one curious enough to spend an hour ca the docks of the great transatlantic ship companies which dot the North river up to Twenty-sixth street. The process is an interesting one. The boss stevedore, who is responsible for the carrying on of the work, station at each hatch and side port a gang of men. The gang consist of from ten to twenty men, the number varying with the size of the vessel, the character of the goods to be handled and the distance they have to be moved. Each gang is in charge of a leader." He receives five cent an hour more than the men under him when the work is paid for by the hour, the men receiving thirty to forty cents an hour for day work and about sixty cents for night work. There is alse over the men a iforemani who is paid by the week, and receive from twenty to thirty dollars, snd an as sistant foreman, who is paid by the time worked. The master stevedore maps out the duties of each and is responsible for any mistakes made in stowing away the cargo. The duties of the master stevedore are by no means light, when one considers the varied character of the goods ship ped daily across the Atlantic. He has to see that goods are not stowed together which are likely to injure one another and that space is found for everything that comes along, up to the utmost ca pacity of the ship. r AVISO FOR THE WOEK. The duties of the foreman relate to see ing that the goods are so stowed that the cargo cannot shift, and that the roiling of the vessel will not damage any part of it. The stowing of the vessels of the 'White Star, Xorth German Lloyds, the Inman, Guion and and Hull lines is done under the control of the company. That of the other lines by contract with master ste vedores. Some companies pay bv the ton, and others by the package. When the payment is by the ton the E eglish ton of 2,240 pounds is the unit of weight Light goods w hich have little weight, but take up considerable space are paid at so much per forty cubic feet handled. Among the stevedores cotton is regard ed as the hardest to stow, and railroad iron as ine easiest ine iron rails are laid across the keel diagonally, and are said to strengthen the hull. When the cargo of a liner outward bound from New York is properly stow ed, she will roll comparatively little, as the steerage is largely given up to cargo. Coming from the other side the case is reversed. Then the entire steerage is oc cupied by passengers, with the result in rough weather that the vewel will often roll her lee rail almost under New York Recorder. Cood Looks.

The Courtesy Due to Friends. Making friends ia easy to the girl who s bright and happy, whose society gives pleasure and who is genial. But keep ing them demands more than this, and a sensible w riter has thus summed up the other requirements, roost of which are mere matters of good social form : To keep a friend, dont get too inti mate with her. nave your own thoughts and permit her to have hers. Do not demand too much of her in the way of confidence. And do not be ag gressive, wanting to know why she hasn't done this, and why she doesn't think as you do. If her style of dress is not beautiful, dont tell her; it will only offend her, because deep dowa in her heart she is convinced that she knows a great deal more about it than any one else. Do not find fault with a friend's friend, and do not expect to be the only one given a corner in her heart. Be as considerate of her feelings as if she were a stranger, and remember that politeness is an everyday garment, and not one intended only for holidays. To sum up in a sertenoe, preserve to court esy of the beginning to keep the friend ship to the end. I was a sufferer from catarrh for ore fifteen years, with distressing pain over my eyea. I used Ely's Cream Balm with the most gratifying resulta. Am ap parently entirely cured. Z. C.
