The Escape
OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH
By FRANK A. HUnilKIjL, Lnto Plvnto 1st Pcnn. Vol. and Onpt.
Co. D 07th Pcnn. Portnuc, Wash.
(Copyrighted 1912 by Frank A. Hub
ble. Yakima. Wash.)
CHAPTER XII.
In our uncertainty as to their pur
pose we took the safe side to get
away from them as fnst as possible.
To go In the open on top tho range
would invito danger; therefore, wo
retraced bur steps, crossed the trail
and commenced our descent down
tho Tennessee side of tho 'mountain.
A long slide on a sloping rock, some
30 feet, brought us on a bench of
another, then around a sharp turn
on a high a possible path between
two rocks rock and wo would be
out of their sight from the trail. A
moment's whispered consultation,
after which we followed on towards
the foot, but as yet we wore not out
of their reach. A rolling stone,
loosened perhaps by them In their
search, gave a timely warning. We
would now have to guard against be
ing seen from above, for If their
guns were of good calibre they
could pick us out from their higher
position. We were not now in a
state of mind to be indifferent to
death. The Tennessee plains were
too much in evidence before us,
could we only reach them. Wo
were warned uy Ham let not to
travel on near tho foot of the
mountain, but keep to the path on
the crest until we could see the
mouth of the French Broad River,
where it emptied into tho Chucky
Chucky River opposite our position
on the mountain. There we wouiu
find outposts of a part of tho west
ern army.
Therefore we must necessarily
meet with a difficult path and way,
being half up tho side of the moun
tain, there being no worn or de
fined path, tho estlng place of many
boulders, stones and rocks that had
in the ages fallen from the top. In
this difficult way we would at times
become exposed to most any promi
nent point, where, perhaps from
their knowledge of the location,
they could easily dispose of our
party with their guns. Therefore
not only the roughness of the way
was an Impediment to our progress,
but we also had to avoid their ob
servations with great care. We now
rounded and clitnbed the rocks and
at times slid into rocky ravines nnd
fissures quite hazardous but success
ful. It was now getting dark and we
made a slide down on a rock that
brought us to a shelf about four feet
wide running around to the east
from where there seemed no outlet.
Yet It would be a shield from any
point up the side of the mountain
where they were probably watching
for our appearance from behind or
over rocks. Here we must remain
for the night and discover some way
off from this shelf at our earliest
twilight. We lay close to and un
der tho abutting rock while each
In his turn would stand guard, or
sit rather, aid watch while tho rest
slept the only living witness to
our discomfiture, the ever omnipres
ent owl. That none should awake
and forget and roll too far towards
the edge, a close vigilance was kept
on each comrade the long, long
night.
Capt. Wlllson awoke our party
with the conviction that we wore
followed, as tho reflection of a camp
fire on one spot on the opposite rock
showed from their camp Are which
probably they had built behind a
rock that would hide it from our
view. This little manifestation of
their presenco above caused Immed
iate action on our part. In tho star
light we examined our shelf or
rock, but there was no possible way
to get off without gaining the top of
tho sloping rock on which wo hnd
slid down to this shelf some 30
feet; it was not steep but there was
nothing to hold to In climbing. It
wns easy enough to slide down It
but get back up, no. Wo procured
a small stone ifrom one of the niches
and dropped it over the edgo of tho
shelf, denoting depth. (While lec
turing through tho West our escape
was at times pronounced miracu
lous.) Here certainly was one of
them.
Wo discovered growing in tho
crevlcs nt tho end of our rock and
the adjoining one a tree S Inches
through, some 40 feet high. The
starlight enabled us to see a lint rock
a little lower than the one wo were
on. if we could loosen the roots of
this tree from tho dirt between the
two rocks, drop the top across the
abyss, it would answer as a bridge
and thereby cut off their following
in tho morning, which we had every
reason to believo they would at
tempt to do, but might not take the
unsafe slide we did in order to get
where we were. No soo)icr said,
we went at it with sharp edge
stones, lingers and hands. The dirt
was soon entirely cleared away from
Its roots with one exception, a long
rot was fast between the rocks, but
we easily pulled the top over, which
extended far across tho opposite
rock, making it absolutely secure.
The questions then arose, would
we have strength to carry our body
across? Yes, providing we locked
our arms over the tree, advancing
our arm Instead of over hand. The
dlillculty would be for the llrst one
across to raise himself from his
length In the chasm to the Pdge of
the rock and get upon it. I being
lighter than tho others would make
tho first crossing. They lowered
my body down Into tho deep hole,
Winding my arms around our bridge
1 soon, over arm and arm, reached
the other side, where my uttermost
strength was called into requisition.
Xot a word, not a whisper, or the
least move on the part of my com
rades. They stood in mute anxiety,
knowing the least failure of strength
or nerve, the least deviation from the
only course would send me down,
down to tho bottom.
Reader, they were in a greater
suspense of fear than I. All my
thoughts were of those murderous
devils behind us, and a willingness
that never lessened on either trip
to risk all for sweet liberty. Again
I had no doubt of my ability to
reach that opposite rock, otherwise
perhaps my bones to-day would have
been crumbled and molding in the
sands of that pit.
The others came in the same man
ner and with my assistance to them
and our help to all my dear com
rades, Lytell coming last, as ho was
similar in weight to myself and low
ered himself successfully on to the
tree. We had passed this valley of
death. Xor did wo forget to thank
our God for strength and the oppor
tunity of this miracle. All that
blessed night with tho north star
for our guide wo crawled along the
mountain side not deviating between
the top and bottom of the mountain
to any dangerous extent.

up by tho Whlto Star llnor Oceanic
which arrivod here.
Two of tho 'bodies wero secured
to thwarts by pieces of chains. Tho
body of a caibln passenger was iden
tified by tho clothing as that of
Thompson Boattlo, of Chicago. Tho
other two woro members of tho crew.
A fur coat with tho namo Williams
insido the pocket and a woman's
ring Inscribed, "Edward to Ccrcda,"
Indicated that thoro had been othors
in tho lifeboat. Tho bodies wero
buried at sea.
White Star lino officials say that
tho lifeboat Is that mentioned by
Third Officer Lowe, of the Titanic,
who said he left three (bodies In the
lifeboat of wlileh ho had charge
when his 21 passengers wero trans
ferred to tho Carpathia. This does
not conform with tho evidence of
starvation.
lioiiKtit of a Peddler.
It always pays to send your money
as far away from home as possible,
or buy of a peddler or transient
man. Over In Tioga county two
women bought $10 worth of real
Irish lace of a peddler, for GO cents
a yard. Tho peddler told them it
was really worth two dollars a yard
and they believed him. The next
week one of these women found
bolt after bolt of lace in a Wells
boro store, the exact counterpart
of hor Irish lace, selling for five
rents a yard. She described tho
peddler to the merchant and ho re
collected that a man answering that
description had bought 500 yards of
lace from him. All the peddler
made was a thousand per cent, and
the poor man must live somehow.
Dynamiting tho Soil.
As an evidence of what dynamite
will do for the soil, a writer in the
Manufacturers' Record submits to
the readers of that publication tho
sworn statement of a cotton-grower
of Bessemer, Ala., J. H. Johnson, by
name, who reports that he has been
raising cotton for many years and
that tho greatest yield he ever se
cured was one bale to the acre until
ho began experimenting with dyna
mite. Last Summer he subsollcd
one acre with dynamite, and though
a bad storm reduced the yield be
low what It would otherwise have
been, he raised 1.7C7 pounds of
lint cotton on one acre. He further
states that last year he raised four
and one-half bales to tho acre on an
other tract dynamited In tho same
way and expresses his opinion that
dynamited land properly fertilized
and cultivated, in a good crop year,
would yield five bales to tho acre.
The claim is also made that the
dynamiting of land In this way not
only solves the drouth problem by
loosening the soil to such an extent
that tho roots of tho plant can seek
nourishment to a much greater depth
than under any method of plowing,
but that this system will destroy
the Insects within the radius of the
explosion and thus possibly open a
way to exterminate the boll weevil
as well as other destructive pests.

Why Baseball Players Have
Pockets in Shirts.
In tho May American Magazine,
Hugh S Fullerton writes an article
full of Interesting stories of freak
plays that have won great base ball
games. Following is one of tho most
remarkable stories:
" Among tho abnormal incidents
that figured In tho earlier history of
tho national game, perhaps none is as
well known to old-timers as tho one
a member of tho famous 'Browns.'
which happened to Cliff Carroll, on
tho St. Louis team, when he was
Perhaps you havo wondered why base
ball players have plain shirt fronts,
and why so few players havo breast
ipockets. Ho was running forward to
take a base lilt on the first bound.
Tho ball bounced crooked and hit him
on tho chest. Ho grabbed at tho ball
hastily and, as ho clutched It, ho
shoved It down into tho handker
chief pocket on his shirt front. Tho
runner saw Carroll tugging and
straining to tear the ball out of the
pocket and Instead of stopping at
first, too sprinted onto second while
Carroll, still trying to dislodgo the
ball, ran to second. Tho batter pass
ed tho fielder and turned for third
with Carroll In pursuit. At third
Carroll stopped and tried in vain to
rolenso tho ball, and tho runner kopt
on across tho plato and scored the
winning run. Chris von dor Ahe,
who at that time wns at tho head of
tho euphonic trio, Von der Alio,
MuckenfuBs and Diddlobock, which
oporated tho club, was furious, and
ordered all pockets removed from
basoball shirts. Other teams follow
ed and tho pockets never havo been
restored, except by a few playors
who aro willing to risk tho repeti
tion of tho accident."
