At the End of the lower level. By AZILE AIDYL. Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated Literary Press. 0 "My heaven!" said old Sinclair as he rose impatiently from the table and reached for his hat. "If only I was strong enough to work it I'd risk the cave-in, put up a drill there at the end of the lower level and bore through that confounded rock myself, and the limber gang c'd go to"— The door slammed, and his daughter heard him stride on down the trail leading to the mine. Helen did not wonder at the outburst of temper. Her father had sunk his Last dollar in this mine, and now with riches—as he confidently believed—al- most within his grasp the timber gang refused to work without their last month's pay. It was Impossible to "drift" without them. The mine was unsafe and liable to cave without the support of the big timbers. Sinclair was confident that ouce through this wall of slate which they had struck in the lower level he would find.again the rich ledge which had suddenly stopped 200 feet above. Then wages would be paid with Inter- est. To Mason, the owner of the adjoin- ing mine, he had said, "Any darn fool knows that a high grade four foot ledge isn't going to stop off short, as though cut in two with a saw, unless old nature's had a spasm and in twist- ing things about given this slate a chance to wedge itself in." And now as he swung on down the steep trail he met Mason coming up. "Things have come to a crisis there, I hear," sald the latter, nodding his head In the direction of the mine, "and I'd like to talk to you about it before you go down. "The miners will not work without the protection of the timbers. I be- lieve you are nearer through that slate than you realize. I was down in the drift today, and the character of the rock is changing. It's quite possible that one more day's work would bring you to the quartz, but the men have quit and you are helpless. What I want to propose is that you let me go down there and work for two or three days. No, no," as Sinclair raised his hand to protest; "it's all right. There is less danger of a cave-in with only one drill at work. Let me try it for a cou- ple of days anyway." "It's exactly what I would do my- self if I was equal to it," said Sinclair, "but St's a big thing for me to accept from you, Mason. If anything went wrong I"— "Nonsense! It won't go wrong. It's only giving me a chance to prove I am right. And no one need know what 1 am doing. I'd a little rather you would not speak of it, particularly to—to Hel- en. Just a notion. And now I'd like Io begin this work tonight." Sinclair simply grasped his hand. Then together they strode down to the mine. Everything was quiet. The pound- ing of the stamps had ceased. The only sign of activity was in the engine room, where the engineer was, as usual, pumping the water out of the shaft. Sinclair motioned to him. The huge "bucket" poised at the mouth of the shaft. They stepped well on to the center, holding to the rope, and began their descent. Down, down, past the different levels, which were swallowed up in inky blackness, the bucket glided noiselessly on, the only sound being the drip -dripping of the water as it percolated through the timbers lining the shaft At last they came to a standstill 1,000 feet below. Sinclair reached over and pressed a button at the side of the shaft, and the entire tunnel was ablaze with electric lights, stretched along its roof. Tho two men traversed the entire length of the tunnel to the end of the "stope," where the miners had ceased work a few hours before. Sinclair helped Mason to get the Burleigh into position, and then, saying he himself would remain at the engine through the night in case Mason wanted help, he walked through to the shaft and signaled to he hoisted above. Mason worked until early morning, set off his blasts and went home for a few hours' rest Returning at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he saw that his work of the night before had uncovered rich gold bearing quartz. He chipped off a piece and put it in his pocket, and then, Intensely excited, he pushed the car, filled with the worthless slate, along the track to the crosscut, where an enormous bulkhead support was being built with the "waste." Mason deposited his load on the "dump" and turned to push back when he heard an appalling roar, but only for a fraction of a second, then a tre- mendous crash, and he felt himself hurled with terrific force against the bulkhead, and all was blank. e e s e e e e tip on the hill at the Sinclair cottage Helen had just returned from her ride, but she lingered, chatting with her fa- ther and feeding Sultan his usual lumps of sugar. Suddenly they heard a dull, muffled boom. Sinclair turned ghastly white as he exclaimed: "My God—a cave!" "Oh, dad, thank heaven the men quit work! There's no one in the mine." "But there 1st Mason's there!" cried Sinclair as he rapidly tightened the girth of Sultan's saddle. 'Tie thought The could bore through that wall him- self. He's been there since yesterday. He asked me not to tell you." And the old man sprang into the sad- dle like a boy of sixteen and dashed down the steep trail. Helen sank limply on the lower step of the porch. Mason to do this thing for her father—Mason, whom she had flaunted and treated with scant cour- tesy! Her father's words, "He asked me not to tell you," spoke eloquently of wounded pride caused by her mocking words which had sent him away with the command to remain away Tor the last three months. And now—oh, she could not bear it! She gathered up her riding habit and ran swiftly down the trail. When she reached the mine the en- tire population of the camp bad gath- ered In excited groups near the hoist, Sinclair, ready to make the first trip down, would permit no one to go with him. Slowly the engineer lowered the old man down the shaft. The time seemed an eternity, par- ticularly to the tall, slim girl who stood motionless and white apart from the crowd, her eyes strained to catch the slightest vibration of the signal wire. At last came two short jerks—the sig- nal to hoist quickly. A great sob came from the entire crowd. "It's no use, my friends," Sinclair said, with his eyes ou Helen. "The cave began In the S00 foot level and has buried everything as far as the crosscut," "But the manhole, dad!" came through Helen's white lips. "There Is only one chance in a mil- lion that Mason was at that end of the croescut. But if he was he would by this Clue have made his way through the north drift to the foot of the manhole, and then think of the climb—hundreds of feet!" Sinclair led the way, and the anxious crowd moved on to the north end of the claim, where now existed the only egress from the lower level. Dozens of men were ready to make the descent down the small round well, with Its hundreds of feet of lad- der, but Sinclair selected one of the younger, stronger wen, and just as he stepped over the edge a "clip -clip" was heard. He drew back, and the crowd listened. The sound came nearer, eager eyes peered into the dark below, and in a few moments eager hands stretched down to lift an exhausted, half faint- ing man to the surface. His forehead was cut, and the blood made his white face ghastly. His left arm hung limp and broken. Helen, with a cry, pushed through the crowd to his side and oblivious of any one in the world but him whis- pered a word in his grimy ear. His pale face brightened. His eyes shone as he took her hand, and, turn- ing to Sinclair, he said: 'You were right, old man. The gold is there. But I think," with a glauce toward Ilelen, "that I as well as you have found a fortune through the lower level." Marshall Items. Guy Frank, of Hastings, was here on Sunday.

Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No Hastings Citizen Can Afford to Ignore. DANGER SiGNAL NO. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. Web kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send oat a thin, pale and foamy, or a thick, red ilismetling urine, full of sediment and irregular of passage. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kid- i neva and warn you of the approach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Here's Hastings proof. John Avert, West Fifth Street, Hast- ings, Minn., says, "It is impossible for me to describe the misery I have endured from- weak kidneys for revere, years. There was pain in the small of my back and I felt tired and worn out even when net doing any work. I was unable to get enough sleep and bad a tired, depressed feeling that made my life miserable. Hy kidneys did not act properly and at times I would baye to rise «luring the night to pass the secretions. Doane Ktdney Pills were procured at F. W. Finch's drug store and after using them a short time I improved, 1 am now able to do any amount of work without any former troubles returning." For sale by all dealers, Price 50 cents.
