Tho English idea of speed has been
bo often illustrated by somewhat dis
concerting tbo examples of American
progress in various departments of
human endeavor, that it is not sur
prising to tho Washington Star to
learn from a London technical journal
that it was considered a great feat
for certain engineers to rep loco a seo
tion of a great English railway bridge
with new muteriuls inside of thirty
days. Commenting on this declara
tion tho Engineering Record, pub

American railway mauagors would
have bad tho job done in a few hours
and would have considered tbo loss of

Says tho New York Times : It would

regions Lave supplied even a quarter
of "tbo products worth $1,200,000,

geographers assembled in London bad
coino out of tbo frozen North during
the past two ceuturios, and upon whieb
he busod his appeal for a vigorous
contiuuauoo of Arctio exploration.
Voyages iu that direction are usually
regarded as loading to frightful
tragedies, rather than to any practical
benefit for mankind. Tboso tragedies,
indeed, have developed and served to
display heroism novel surpassed and
perhaps never equaled in other parts
of tho world, but tbut cannot bo

rieb in aluminium ; the furs of seals,
bears, foxes aud a few other animals;
small quantities of gold aud about
there tho list begins to become diffi
cult to lengthen, though specialists
could probably continue it through a
line or two more. Somo day tho North

DOWN THE CHIMNEY,
HI JAMES C. I-CllDI.
SJ AGGIE MILLS camo
f & out of tho woods
M with her bunds full
3 of tho rrotty things
M f fdio" had gathered
there, aud ran sing
ing across tho field.
. Suo Murry saw her
I' ' coming nud ran to
J I tvief 1... w.iSl. l.nH
npron full of dais
ies. Then for a few
minutes they were
very busy compar
ing and dividing
their treasures.
"Where's Tolly?" Maggie asked
suddenly, remembering ber little sis
ter, who ought to bo claiming her
share in all this.
"Why, fcho stayed in tbo woods with
you."
"No, she didn't; she went with you
after tbo daisies."
"I haven't seo her sinco I came out
of the woods."
"Neither havo I. Ob, dear I Folly !
Tolly Mills I Follyo-e-e !"
The two girls begiuning to bo really
frigbtonod now, dropped their flowers
and hurried back among the trees.
They ran this way and that, calling
all tho timo to tho lost baby, but no
answer camo to their calls. Tho region
was wilil, tho woods reached fur over
rocky hills and deep ravines, and lit
tle l'olly was only four years old ; al
together tho troublo was a pretty ser
ious one.
"Suo Murray, you run as fait as you
can to tho village and find some men
to come and bunt for my little sister.
I'll Btay herd and look all through tho
woods apd all over the field whilo yon
are gono. Don't coma back without
somo men I"
Without a word Suo started away in
prompt obedionco toward tho village.
Sue ran on as fast as she could go,
and Maggie resumed her almost hope
less search. At first she ran back and
forth through the woods, calling, but
presently she realized that no good
could oomo of that. Thon she sat down
aud studied the situation. She bad a
clear brain, and was fairly iu working
order by this time. Sho could reason
things out, and sho could form somo
sort of plan for tho work that bad to
be done.
Recalling the time that Suo left her
in tho woods and went out into tho
field to gather daisies, sho was sure
that little Tolly bad gone into the
field also. She remembered hearing
tho child call to Sue to wait for her,
aud seeing ber run in that directiou.
Tolly had not come back, and Maggie
bad seen and heard nothing of bor
since; the field, tberoforo, was the
plaoe to look for ber.
It was a rough place, as many of
the fields about there. Like most of
the land iu that rogiou, it belonged to
"Tho Coapauy," and tho company
made uso of it at present. All the
valuable land was away in another
direction, tbo mines at this side of tho
village had been worked out aud
abandoned so long ago that not many
puoplo romcmbored anything about
them. But Maggio thought nothing
about mines or anything connected
with mines; sbo thought only of her
lost Bister, and of tho most likely
place in whieb to look for ber.
The only cluo that sho could think
of ut first was tho daisies. Tolly bad
gone there to pick . daisies, and when
sha could not overtake Sue sho was
likoly to go where tho daisies grew
thickest. Over yonder, by that great
clump of weeds and bushes, was a
plauo thut looked like a snow drift, it
was so thickly strewn by the pretty
whito flowers. Maggio went there,
and looked and culled and listened.
Once she thought she beard au an
swer to her calls, but it appeared she
bad only disturbed a uicu.low lurk ut
rest iu the clump of bushes.
She was about leaving tbo plaoe
when she made a littlu discovery she
found somo plucked daisies lying
scattered iu tho gruss. Somebody
bad been there then 1 Was it Sue or
was it Tolly? Sue had come to meet
Maggio from an entirely different di
rection ; it must have Leon Tolly thut
picked those scattered flowers. Yes !
there amoug the fallen daisies was the
crushed fern that Maggie bud given
to the baby iu tho woods. Sue bad
brought no fern out with her. Tolly
bad boen here. But where was sho
now?
Maggie called again, aud only tho
meadow lark answered licr; sbo
searched among tho high grass, hop
ing to find the tirod cbild asleep on
tho gronud ; sbo wont closoand peered
in nmong tbo thickly growing weeds
and bushes of tho clump. It was a
forbidding plnco in there; Tolly was
enterprising but nho would hardly
cliooso such a pluco'ns that to explore.
Moro likely sho had followed on after
Suo. Maggio went iu tho direction
Suo bad coma from, calling as ebo
went.
She stopped running just in timo to
savo herself from falling into a great,
ragged hole iu tho grouud. A second
look showed her that tbo holo was not
very deep, but it was quite deep
enough. At the bottom aud all about
tho sides, wero fragments of rough
and broken rock mingled with tho
earth. It was evident that the grouud
bad caved in thero, forming a danger
ous trap for au incautious rambler.
Maggie trembled to think what must
havo happened if poor little Tolly had
fallen iuto it.
Very carefully sho cxamiuod tho
edges and sides of tbo bole ; there was
no signs that even a baby footstep Lad
disturbod tbo ground thoro recently.
Sho mado ber way cautiously down
the side of tho opening, aud then she
saw that tho holo was deoper than it
seemed, ltocks and earth had choked
it somo distance above tho bottom,
but narrow openings hero and there
revealed greater dopths below. It was
not a safe place to stay, and Maggio
climbed back to the solid grouud.
"Tolly isn't in that pluco ; that's a
comfort," sire said to herself. "Tho
company ought to be sued for having
such holes about for folks to tumble
into!"
That last thought brought anothor.
It's tbo company's old inino, that's
what it is I" sho cried out. "And this
is a cave in. Tart of tho mine is down
thero uuder tboso stoucs, aud I might
have tumbled to tho bottom of it. Oh,
supposo Tolly has fallen into it I"
Tho only way to find out was to get
in there aud search, but sho could not
do that alone. The minute Sue brought
thoso men thoy must find tho entrauce
to tho mine and explore every nook
and cranny of it.
At thut moment sho heard tho samo
faint cry that she had hoard back
here among the daisies. It was fainter
this timo and seemed to como from
the dopths of that hole in the grouud.
It was not tho note of a meadow lark ;
how could sho ever havo thought that?
It was the faint cry of a child I It was
littlo Tolly calling, aud Tolly was
somewhere close at baud t
Heedless of all danger, Maggie
clainborod down iuto tbo bole once
more and began to toss about the
stones that lay there. In a few sec
onds sho bad moved enough of them
to make au opening iuto the passage
below. Peering down iuto this she
saw that the passage appeared to lead
Lack in the direction of tho patch of
daisies.
Tolly! Wbcro aro you, Tolly?"
sho cried.
Sho beard a faint answer, aud it
seemed to como along the buried pas
sago from tho direction of tho daisies.
That clump of weeds and bushes beside
tho daisies that was the possible hid
ing place of tho mystery. It must be
explorod at ouce. Maggio got safely
out of tho holo and rau at full speed
back along tho way that sho had late
ly come. As she ran she heard another
voice ; Suo bad como back aud was
calling to ber from tho woods.
"Here I am I Hero I Como quick
all of you." Crying out tboso words
a tho top of her voico, Maggie
plunged out of sight into the heart of
the clump of bushes. Sue bad beard
her answer and came running out of
tho woods, followed by two mon. Tho
two ineu wero old aud decrepit, past
their workiug primo ; but thoy wore
tho only ones that Sue had boeu able
to find. The others wero all away at
their work in tho mines.
Tho three new comers stopped aud
looked about the field for Maggie.
Her voico had sounded near, but now
sho was nowhoro to bo eeeu. Suo
called, but tbero was no answer.
"Whoro iu the world can she have
gono to?" Suo cried iu amazement.
"I thought she was right hero 1"
At thut iustaut thoy were all startled
by hearing Maggie's voice ugaiu. It
souuded farther away this time, aud
was different from tho clear, ringing
crv that they that they hu t tirst heard.
""That's Maggie," said Sue, "but
sbo sounds underground ?"
"Au' good reason sho have," Reuben
Jcssup remarked solemuly. "For sho
is uudergrouuu. Davnl, it s my belief
as the two childers has somehow fell
into tho old mine hereabout."
"But she was right here ouly a min
ute ago," Sue urged, iu great alarm.
"How could sho full into a mine just
iu a minute, that way?"
"Koubeu'd right," said David.
'Tlicr's pits au' thcr's oave-ius au'
tber's the chiiuuey. Tho chimuey's
tho likeliest place eh, Reubou?"
"She couldn't full iuto a chiiuuey
without olimbiug up to tho top of it
first, aud sho husu't ha 1 time for that.
Aud besides, there isn't any chimney
anywhere about hero."
"Just the. shaft o' the old mine,
child," Reubou explained. "Mou fell
to calling it tho uUimuey after trampj
set tiro to timbers iu the idle workiu's
au' tho sinoko rose from tho shaft days
aud nights. Whero would tho chiiu
uey be, David? I've lost my beuriu's
through all the changes that bus como
over tho place."
The tuo old men began to compare
recollections, aud to recall one
landmark after auother in the effort to
locate "tho chimney," uud impatient
Suo was driveu to distraction by their
deliberatiou. Sho starteJ away from
them, following an well us she could
tho directiou of Maggie's cry. Tho
cry was repeated, louder this time,
followed by urgent words.
Suo rau eagerly forward, followed
by the two old men, who ulso heard
the loud call.
It was ft timely warning for Sue,
Without it, iu tho darkness of the
dismal placo sho bad onterod, she
might have plungod headlong into the
pit that yawnod almoHt under her foot.
As it was sbo checked herself just in
tiir.e to keep from falling. She hold
on by ono of tho bushes and leaned
over tho opening. Sho could soe
nothing but darkness.
"It's here," Roubeu declared, com
ing to the odgo of tho clump. "I re
member now, David. Tho chimney's
here, an' not over yon whoro you
would havo if."
"For goodness sake, don't arguo
any moro about the ohimnoy !" Site
cried impatiently. "What differenco
docs it make? Maggio and Tolly are
dowu in this bole, whether it's the
chimney or not. Now, how aro we
going to get them out? That's the
question."
"No such has to, m," said old Rou
ben, solemnly. "It's the chimney,
sure euougb, tbey'vo fell into, au'
ther's no way to got 'era from the bot
tom o' thut but by diggin'. Rescue
parties must be brought from the
mines, Au' then I doubt if wo can got
to them in time, poor things!"
"Nonsense, Mr. Jossup!''
Tho words came with startling force
and clearness from somewhere in the
chimney, and they seemod not to como
from tho bottom of it. The voice was
Maggio's, aud it was strong and in
good condition.
"Just bring tho ladder from our
house, that's all you need," Maggio
went on. "The timbers and planks
have fallen iu aud lodged crosswise, so
as to make a sort of platform down
hero. We're so far down that we can't
climb ont without bolp, that's all.
Neither of ns is hurt a bit. Hurry
with the ladder, ploaso, for we don't
find it pleasant bero !''
"If tho ladder will serve, thon we'll
wasto no timo with laddors. "
This was slew croaking old Rcubon.
lie seemed to havo grown young aud
active withiu tho minute.
"Lay yourself down just tbero,
David," ba commanded. "Tut one
arm about tbo end o' that timber for
steadiuess, an' hold bold fast to me
with the other hand. So, I recollect
now tho lay o' these timbers after
they fell down the chimney. An you,
lass," to Sue, "you stand by to take
tha baby from my band when I lift
her up thero."
Holding fast by tho hand of bis old
friend, the miner wont slowly down
iuto tho darkness of tho pit. A mis
ttep as bo put his foot now on one and
then on another of tho fallen timbers,
would have meant grave disaster to all
of them ; but there was no misstep.
And there was no loosening of the
withered baud that held him. For
tho rescue of tbo two imporiled chil
dren, tho two old men were strong
again with tho strength of their
primo. They know, as Maggio nevor
know, what peril tbcre was in every
moment ou that rickety platform of
rotton wood.
Happily, as Maggio had said, tho
platform was not for down. In a fow
minutes old Reubou climbed a littlo
way up agaiu, and delivered little
Tolly iuto tho outstretched bands of
waiting Sue. Next bo leaned far
down aud caught tho uprcaching arms
of Maggio. Ho pulled bor up to tho
timber bo stood upon, aud from tbero
sho nimbly mado ber way to safety
without further help.
Not too soon. Younger bands wero
needed now for what bad to bo done.
David's old baud was trembling piti
fully, and Reuben's weight was heavier
upon it than it ha 1 been. Maggio and
Sue caught the hand of Roubeu and
pullod with all thoir strength. Very
slowly, aud with foet that bad lost all
the firm confidence thoy so reoently
bad, tho old mau camo again to tho
top of the ohimuoy.
"They say we'ro no moro fit for
work, David," bo chuckled, foobly,
as ba sunk down upon the grouud to
rest.
"It took but littlo timo to provo
that a mistuk," David remarked, as
ho sat down beside him.
And tbo children sat with them aud
held their hands until tho old mou
were able to totter home. Philadel
