I askeJd. The sound alone was intelligible to her, ‘ and she responded with sounds that wore but a musical echo ef my words. _ Hearing her voics the jackdaw cawed, and she reâ€" plied with a caw as like his as she could acâ€" complish, Clearly she had no notion of speech, and it was hopeless to think of getâ€" ing from her any explanation of her stâ€"ange condition and how she came there. . Had she never learnt the use of spsech or had she been there so long that the early days of her childhood were forgotten, I wondered. I tried hor again, saying a few words in ; the few languages that I knew. Shelistened attentively, smiling as if it gave her pleasure to hear the sound of a human voice, but showing no other signs of intelligence ; then she, to give variety to the amusement, sang,. making a kind of music like that I beard from the mouth of the well, a continued unâ€" dulating riss and fall of sound as long as the breath coald be maintained. _ In all my life I never heard anything so plaintively sweet and sad. It seemed to express more than could have bseen told by words; it was the ravelatim of a joyless life, of unspeakable yearning, and indefinable regre‘s. © Psor child, poor child !" I gaid invelunâ€" *Poor child, poor child 1" she echoed in the samse tone of sorrow and commiseration. She seemed to have the significance of my sympathy, to understand that my words were an expression of kindness, for she took up my hand and smoothed her chooek ageiat Atcaressingly. â€" .. ... .. :ssy Cl .cts. WO N . I bent down and kissed hsr headâ€"for she i was to me no more than a little child. ‘The sound of my kiss perplexed her and looking up in my face she bade me by a gesture kiss again. I litted the hand that still clung to mine and kissed the back of it. She kissed mine, and repeating the action of her lips orces or twico, laughed at the sound ghe had never heard bafore. Aud now I was curious to see more of her prison, and taking the candle from the clefo Ilifted it up, shielding it from her syes with my hand. She caught my arm, and shrinking to my side pointed with wild wonder at the flickering shadows causâ€" ed by the moving light, I placed the candie so that she could see her own shadow on the sands, That delighted her when she recognissd whatit was. She apreadl her &rms ous, and swayed her liths body. rom â€"side to side, and then singing her song she kept time to it with a movement of her limbs and body that resembled more the dance of a Japanose girl than any other I know. When she ceased to move she stood looking at her shadow in silent wonder until, comprehension dawning upon her, she drow me across the cave,. At the furâ€" ‘ther extremity there were some rough steps made in the sand that led to a cavity where the sea ab high tide filtered up through the shingle, â€" Where was a clear pool at the pressnt time, and going down to the edge she bens over and showed me her reflection in the watéer. _0 â€" a o. tus tarily.

She pointed round in grave admiration to the strips of coloured rag with:which she had adorned the wail, Theré was nq}tx;hing else in that caveâ€" that she found worthy of remark except a} quantity of old clothing usefal in cold weaâ€" ther as she expressed by.drawing her shoulâ€" was afaint Taking the frock to the alcove she pointâ€" ed out some strips of coloured ribbon, and some curious buitons that she had taken from the drers; and little as I know about such matters I perceived that no child of the common class would have such trimâ€" ming on her frock,. Te . < 3 N id N C 0 o Ggie P hk e ts Psyche throew aside the dress impatiently, | " and drew ms on quickly, having something | 5 beh@er than that to show me, . We passed | © through the opening into the timbered cave, which was far more capacious than the o adjsining one. She directed my attention h in passing to the table on which the dinner C was seb, and also to a receptable closed with | * a slab where she kept her food out of the | ® way of "Caw," and made her way to that, t side of the cave where the entrance from | P the shore was blocked up with the "debris" | L from the fallen cliff. The sloping mass ff spread inward to a considerable distance, a the lighter rubble lying on that side nearest * }the inner cave, and the greater blocks on |" the othor side where the fracture seemed to kave originted. Amongst theso blocks, |! some of which were of gigantic proportions, t Psyche began to thread her way. The f course was intricate, and to my unaccustom * ed eyes extremely porilons, and the difficul. | ! ty incroassd as we advanced. In some|‘ places it was as much as I could squeczo my | body through the openings, in others | we passed ‘on hands and kneses bensath | poised masses that a touch might have brought. down upon. us. : At| one point she stopped, and by an expressive gesture let me know that there she had |‘ once stood in dsadly perilâ€"the expression in her upturned face, and crouching figure |â€" indicating a mortal terror. Even with the | light to guide meit was hard to seo where |â€" the foot might be seb with safety ; it was simply marvellous how she could pass with impunity in the dark. Pr sently she began to scale the blocks, and we mounted until we almost reached the roof of the cave. Seer from this point the cave, ‘with the timber | balks, and the shadows they cast, looked f sweird and terrible. â€" Right against the roof there was a gap; through this Psychs slipâ€" i ped sidelong, and disappoared. Coming to ) the gap I cried to her in terror ; she answerâ€" ‘ l ed with a laugh that seemed far away, I l followed her as I â€"best could through the : | narrow gap, and the next instant found myâ€" © | self slipping and rolling down an incline ‘| with no power to stop myself. Psyche‘s * | laughter assured mo that there was no dangâ€" l er, but 1 was heartily glad when I foand ° | myself at the bottom on a bed of sofh sand. t 1 ‘My candle had gone out in this rapid desâ€" | cent, but here there was a faint light that 2 | filtered its way . between the blocksâ€" on theâ€" e| ssaward side, though no opening was ;tper- ceptible. °I had matches in my pocket ; I â€" { relib the candle, for the light was insufficient to reveal anything distinctly to my eyes. 1 n |suppose I looked particularly foolish and ‘â€" | frightened, for Psyche continued to laugh Y | until suddenly seiz:d with apprehension that 8 | I had hurt myself, she camse quickly to my k | side and caressed my hani with her ch;eek, t crooning over it gently like a mother over her child. TA "~When I tame to look about me I found that we wore standing in a third cavern, though ib was zo encumbered with broken masses of the fallen cliff that its form and dimensions. were at first indistinguishable, Oare thing was clear; it was in this cave that the explosion had taken place., Many of the fragments were on one face black with powder. Amongst them were scattered in every direction staves of tubs, iron hoops, rusted vessels, scravs of timber, iron bolts, ard odds and ends of cloth and woolen garments. My foot struck against a long fSeaman‘s boot ; it gave an odd rattle under: the shock, and when I lifted it up two or three small white bones fell out. They were the bones of a foot, Was rsyche then not the only victim who had been enâ€" tombed alive ? : I dropped the boot with & shudder, and answering Psyche‘s call made my way through the boulders towards that point where she in impatience had preceded me, But at every step I took my foot seemed to be crunching the bones ef a dead man, and indeed, before I had made a couple of paces £ caught sight of a long bone that I knew must be a human "temur." Presently I came to the spot where Psyche was anxilousâ€" ly waiting to show me the "chef d‘ aivre‘ of her curiosities. She stood before a large square block of chalk, which she had arranged as a kind of altar, grouping upon it, with some idea of symmetry and artistic offs3t, all that she had found most curious in the cave, Pistols knives, L atchebs,tobacco boxes, shells, piccoes of broken glass and the like were massed on each side, but the place of honour between them was occupied bÂ¥ a pyramid of four skulls ; in the orbits 0 the top one pieues of oyster shell had. been‘placed, and the poarly surface reflscting the light from t‘ha ca‘x_ldle NVE MOSVY OURUCOE O Cl Wce +. / P atob gave it an appearance that would have been ludicrous if it had not been ghastly. I glanced in«terror.at Psyche, to see what effect this grisly show had upon her,. She was smiling and swaying her head gracsfully from ‘side to® side to the low murmuring music of her own voice. Then I perceived thab the poor creature must, indeed, have lost her reason, unless her pleasure in the face of sach repulsive mementces of morâ€" tality was due to utter ignaorance of life and dsath. Ib was a kind of pagan hymn she sang. Whan ikwss finished, she drow me clossr to Ib was a kind of pagan hymn sho sang. When it was finished, she drew me clossr to the altar, and with a sweop of the hand drew my attenption to the surface on which her relics wore mounted. © A frosh surprise conâ€" fronted me ; the biock was coverec‘i with pieces of gold laid side by side they would go. I took one up, CHAPTER VI CaUTGHT A fresh surprise conâ€" c. was covered with by side as closs as â€" ane upn. and found it was a Louis d‘0r of1795.

French Peter and his party going to the caves, my great grandfather with his crew resting in the house above, and that in a drunken bout which was pretty sure to havse followed the discovery of their treasure in the lead chest, the gunpowder had been accidentally fired, causing the fall of the cliff and their own annihilation in the very momâ€" eug Of triumph. " 8 wos t ll es I stood losl;: in wonder over this last disâ€" covery, and must confess to a feeling of selfish joy which overcame all better considâ€" erations. For I did not question my right as propristor of these caves with the land above to appropriate the fortune found upon it, and my imagination leapt at the use I might make of it to obtain the hand of Miss Dancap. That prospect intoxicated me, and for the moment it seemed as if the unholy spirit of the dead wreckers whose bones were before my eyes had taken possession of From this state of abstraction I was a« roused by a geatle touch upon my arm, and turning my regard from the gola that had so fascinated me, I found Psycke look‘ng into my face with troubled solicitade, unakle, to understand my preoccupation, and why had forgotit sn her. iess f.rgive me my seifishness," I said, «* You shall be saved before I think of anyâ€" thinz else, poor Psyche." _ _ _ _ 4 â€"§* Poor Psycae |" she echosd, in the sams tone, with a smile that reflscted my pity. There was ro time to lose. Old Peter might atany momens revurn to Bonport and hear of his son‘s accident, and the enquiries that had beon made for him. I, at least, must gey up to the cottage before he arrivâ€" ed. f The alteration in my manner, as the recessity for immediate action occurred to me, was porcsived at once by my watchful companion, and comprshending that for some reason I wished to get back into the other cave GQuickly, she guided me with swift steps back to ths inclined plane by which I had descendsd so precipitately, and showed me some notched steps which she herseli must have cut in the chalk. With surprising Agility she ran up the slope; I scrambled laboriously after her, and she onca more gave way to a light laugh at my expense as SA8 stood at the top waiting for We passe@ through the gap and began | the descent fnto the large cave. But now I | found the difficalty and danger greater than in climbing p.| I made Fsyche take my i hand, fearing that an inadvertent step : might start & boulder from its place and { roll it down Uupon . her.; and..well. it _was that I took this precaution, for before we wers half way down my weight tilted a block, and the rubble slipping beneath it set other boullers in motion, and thess starting othersin their course the greater mass moved forward and thundered down in a perfech avalanchs to the bottom,. Happily the E;g% blask °> which *I drew Psyche baick at the firsp movement remaifed fifm, but the crash of falling masses in other parts of the cave loosened by the concussion led me to fear that the whole of the cliff above would fall, and I watched with terriâ€" | ble susponss a long fissure that opened | directly over our heads from which a blind.. ing shower of chalk splinters and dust fell l upon us.. . Gradually the tumult ceased, and the cloud of dust that choked us subsided ; but still at intervals a block foll with a sudâ€" den thud upon the ground below. . Psyche clung close to me, with her frail arm raised as if to ward off anything that might fall from above. â€" Bat in this I am cartain, that the dear little creature was concerned less for her own protection than for mine ; her upturned hand was over my head, not her own, and she kept ib raised until the poril was past. Then she looked at ms, nodding | gravely, and turning her arm showed ms an old scar in it, from which I concluded that this was nou the first nor the worst slip of the cliff in which she had been concerned. The track she habitually followed was now obliterated, and we had to find a new one ; but though our steps, cautiously as we procesded, produced two or three fresh slips in the treacherous slope, we got to the bottom without any serious mishap,. Rubble and dust lay thick everywhere, and one or two huge fragments had been detached from the side, but the timbers had preserved the main body of the large cave, and the roof indeed looked safe and sound. In the lesser cave no damagse whatever had been done, and there, to her great joy, Psyche found her jackdaw, who had probably hopâ€" ped off from the other on the firss sound of danger,) . _ _ i s & VEvesidy ~ TW , And now ILhad to make Psyche understand that we must go up the shaft and leave the cave. She quickly compreheaded that I coul1 go as I had come, but she was utterly unable to crasp the idea that she also was to go. Ib was more incomprehensible to her who knaw no other place than that in which ghe liv=6, than the suggesbion”dflz’ quibting this plaset for another would be to me. Inâ€" deed, such incomplete defective explanation . as I could make by signos or gentures she wes not in a condition to understand or accept, for she no sooner comprehendedâ€"that I was about to go away than she burst into tears, and throwing her arms about m,gagjflnng to me with the strenuous energy of despair, It seemed to me cruel to leave her there even for a brief space after such ‘a terrifying epigode as that we had just paueé through ; but how heartless mast it have seemed to this poor creature who believed that I was leaving her there for ever ! I waited patientâ€" ly for the paroxyam of grief to subside, quite st a loss to know how I might reassure her. She grow gradaally calmer as sho found I made no further attempt to enter, the passage leading to the shafs, and smoothed my hands with her cheek and lips. â€" Suddenly conceivâ€" ing a strategem to retain me, sho darted into the funor cave, and returnod with her hands full of the coloured ribbons tora dowa from the bed place, and theso she put into my ster and hands, looking into my face with an eutreatâ€" ing smile. I took the rubbish and kissed her innoâ€" cent, sweet brow ; then I drew her towards the passage. She yielded with a long, flutâ€" tering sigh as if accepting an inevitable loss. When we neared the well I sprang on to. the plank, and, putting my feet in the buckâ€" et and the candle between them, I beckoned her to come to me. Then at last, compre? hending that she was to accompany me, she fisw to my side. I put my arm around her, and tried to draw the rope ; but it was useâ€" less, for light as she was, our united weight was more than I could lift with one arm encumbered. After one two trials I gave up the attempt with a »hake of my head. Sne recognised the difficulty, and, having givin my hand one last caress, she stepped to the ground, and, sinking on her kness, again burst into tears. s DR $ _â€" I could wait no longer ; to save her I must make my own escape without delay. ... I drew myself up hand over hand with Pysche‘s‘fading sobs ringing in my ears, until the flame of the candle grow pale in the light from above. Suddenly the light was interâ€" cepted, and looking up L saw a face bending over me with a horrid nose and chin and two gleaming eyes under a fur cap that came down to the shaggy white eyebrowsâ€"all distinct in the light of the candle at my feet. It was my greatâ€"grandfather, Peter Boamish. Hs waved a jack knife over my head, «"You‘re gone down there, are you, you himp of Satan ?

Everybody in Oakland knew Police Judge Laidlaw had been on a howling racket, says the San Francisco Ait«e. The papers had recounted the stcry of that wild debauch at the white house and people wondered what the outcome would be. ‘The spree was fitâ€" tingly concluded yesterday by the arrest of Judge Laidlaw and theimposition of a fine of $50. The amusing part of the affair is that the jadge ordered his own arrest, fined himself, and also paid the fine. _ c There was rather more than the usual atâ€" tendance at the Oakland polics court yesterâ€" day and a ripple of excitement ran around the room as the jadge‘s voice was heard proâ€" nouncing the words: "Mr.{ Bailiff, you will place Alexander Laidlaw under arrest for violating an ordinance,. Mr. Laidlaw is reâ€" leaged on his own recognizance," continued Judge Laidiaw. *""Mr. Clerk, you will enter that name upon your docket and ke pleads gullty." : â€".â€" a AAMS Judge Laidlaw adjasto1 his glasses, took a roll of manuscript from his pocket, slipped off the littls elastic band, opsned out the roll and read as follows : "‘Mr. Clerk, you will please enter upon the docket of this court a charge of violating an ordinance of the city of Oakland against Alexander Laidlaw. To this charge I plead guilty and before passing sentence I have this to say : That I feel it my duty to make some statement of his facts concerning this case. The charges and allegations as printâ€" ed in the press of this city are, to a certain extent, trus. A number, however, are inâ€" correct and untrus. That I was drunk, or, to use the language of the ordinance, ‘under the influence of intoxicating liquors,‘ is true. That thers was no palliation or extenuation then, nor is there now, for this offensoe, is ‘also true, That the entire occurrence is lamentably, sincerely, and sadly, regretted I can honestly state, and I do so state, I, who have sat here day after day, week after week, and month after month, dispansing justice with an honesty of purpose, sense of justice and every other motive of rigat that can possibly actuate an honest man, can not pass by this greatast offense of my life. Is it right? Is it jast? 1s it honorable ? Is itb honest to mysalf or to the psople of this city to permit myself to go unpunished for the commission of an offense for which I punish obthers daily ?

Bus for the sake of one I hold most dear, and who inculcated these early precepts which I shall never forget, I deem myself in duty bound to show my manliness, and admit frankly and sincerely that I have committed l a wrong, and frankly ask forgiveness for the same, "L have made this statement ‘ freely and voluntarily and with a better consideration of the fact that many a better: man than 1 has put ‘an enemy in his mouth to stsal away his brains,‘ bubt I sincsreiy hope that this affair may serve as & warning to all such as are beset by that curse of modâ€" ern civiliz wionâ€"drink. â€"Upon a repatition of this offense 1 shall not ask for mercy, neither will I expect it In corclusion I wish to exonerate and exculpate all persons from any blame whatever whose names have been coupled with mine in this unfortunate affair. ’.Ighe sentence of the court is that the defendant pay a fine of $50, with the usual alternative." â€" The judge closed this remarkable proâ€" ceeding by handing over to the clerk $50 to save himselffom the fifty days‘ sojourn in the county jail, .
