What 4 Ssabbath experience, thought â€" Mrs. Hurst and the girls as they conjured up visions of Fifth avenue and the richly dressed churchgoing procession of which they usually formed a part! What a Sabbath experience, thought Chester Ives as he stood facing the motley gang of cutthroats, while down the gloomy vista of the cavern he could see the forms of the women hudâ€" dled together on the sand for protecâ€" tion and comfort, while a few paces away stood a couple of the gang on euard. 1NE NAIL.

You ain‘t obliged to stay here no longer than you ‘like," â€"he added truculently. "Why have we been brought here?" inquired John Draper. "Well, pard, it‘s just this way," said Dallon, who did all the talking. "Some people gits all the fat in this life, and some gits all the lean. Here‘s you, f‘r instance," checking off the index finger of his left hand with his right foreâ€" finger, "and here‘s us," indicating the second finger. "By all signs you‘ve got more money‘n you know what to do with, and we‘ve got none. I don‘t ask you bhow you come by itâ€"you got it, and that‘s enough fer me," he said savâ€" agely, looking around at his auditors. "That‘s the kind o‘ talk, cap‘n," said one, while angry looks were directed on the chief object _of their attack, John Draper.

"I guess he can git the money, and as he knows what it‘s fer he ain‘t goin to expose no plot. Hey, what d‘you say ?" The thing was feasible certainly and proved that Dallon had engineered his vile scheme in a fiendishly clever manâ€" nér: Uncle John thought a moment and then said: f "Yes, it will do." "Gourse it‘ll do," growled Dallon. "Now, which 0‘ these ‘ere young gents is. to go?" | If the light of the cave had not been \ so dim, Reuben KFilley‘s manner must | have attracted attention. He trembled from head to foot; his parched lips needed constant moistening, while great drops of sweat beaded his face. Here was the chance to be free and to obtain this money he so sorely needâ€" _ed. No feelings of honor, of humanity, i of chivalry, rose in his evil heart, His one dominant thought was that, once | in possession of the check or money, he | could start east, or if need be he could telegraph the funds to take up the forged paper. His "good name‘" would be saved, even though his friend and benefactor was sacrificed. He was roused from his cruel reverie by the voice of John Draper: "Reuben, you should be the one to go. As my confidential man you can cash the check and avoid any awkward questions. Remember, the safety of these ladies is the first consideration. Do nothing that will imperil them." "Very good, sir," was all that Filley dared trust himself to say. While Draper was speaking Dallon unfastened the thongs that bound his arms, but so cramped were they that geveral minutes‘ vigorous rubbing was necessary before he could wield the fountain pen which Filley handed him with trembling hands. Drawing @A pocket checkbook from the breast of ‘his coat, the president knelt on the ! sand in front of an empty cracker box ' and there filled in ‘the necessary ‘ blanks.

The Panâ€"American Exposition will outshine its distingtished predecesâ€" sors in many particulirs.. Of these the court settings are Of first importance. In order that there nay be abundant room for the e‘labotrite decorative efâ€" fects, 33 acres Are alone devoted to courts,. This area is two and a half times the area Of he courts at the Chicago Columbian Exposition. About these broad courts @#te grouped a score of great buildings, in which the multiâ€" tude of exhbibits from all parts of the western world are to be disvlayed. As a second important feature may be mentioned the ornate architecture, the use of plastic ornamentation of very intricate and beautiful design and the employment of original sculptured groups in the extsrior decorations of buildings, entrances and architectural features. No less than 125 original seulptured grox, modeled by some 30 or more distinguished American seulpâ€" bors are savIn $12s5, 1.2 84 tors, will be used in this feature of the decorative work. The use of an elaborate color scheme has never before been attempted at an exposition. 'l‘ appropriate title of the "Rainbow City" has already been applied to this great group of brilliantâ€" 1y colored buildings, and lovers of color will find the exquisite harmony of tints that has bere been produced a most dnliglltfulfggubject for contemplaâ€" tion and study. As a fourth p%lnt of superiority may be named the hydravlic and fountain features. In all the courts are broad posls containing numberless cascades and fountains.
