llih oU BittsforJ Minn hid proved u
tiil ira : tint, In.wcvci until sumo viglu
Icon ur twmty thousand dollars were
expended mii *it. Now the deserted
shaft, {HO fcat deep, and a long tunnel
iu ItiittNi'.ird Mniiiituio, were the onlv
visible sign* ol what had been do:io.
Xcwiuati Highborn, whilj crossing
ilii" very mountain, strayed away from
'lie rc»t of hi* pmlj, wandered iu the
direction of thv deserted snaft, and, be
lora lie iliscnveroJ it was too late, lind
trij.piul and f*Uen into iho terrible pit.
11 i 4 walking slick, catching here and
there against Ilia jiiggad *idos, bilped
lessen the speed, but down, down lie
went, and struck the bottom, bruised
but alive
M b le smarting with piin a feeing ol
Ihnnkfiiliics- came over him for the pre.
aerv.iti.ni nf liis life. Afusr all, thought
lie, iheieis h i jj.iol in it down 3(H) feet
in the earth. lie bad jnly been saved
to din of starvation.
All through the 1 nig night lie tried
to conjecture some way to get
out, but nothing e iuU be thought of.
IIJ mutt *i:uf ly stay there, mi l die.
1 ho next morning, after devouring a
baker's loaf, which, forunat'ily, he had
iu his pocket, lie waited. Ills room
was only a few feet across, and all the
curiosities there lie soon cxaiuiued, as
well u« lie could by the faiLt light of ■
f.w lua to lies
Highborn was not one to be discour
aged under ndiuary circumstances, but
now the terrible situation that lie was
in wa* gradually unking a strong im
pression ou hi in. The more ho thought
abnut it the more it unmanned hiiu.
lie was getting thirsty: no water was
in the place - not even the drops that so
frequently trieklo down the sides of just
such places.
Tim day Asiitnn. Night came. Weak
and hungry, ho laid down, anil fell into
a deep place, lie drcuiuud about the
"W.ioleu Stocking," over and over
agni a.
It wa - an o'd story that he had read
very many times iu childhood, about
tli* workman of Kngland who was left
alone on the top of a high cbiuiney, aft
er the scalf'ililitig had been takcujdown;
and lie unraveled his stocking and let
to the ground the tiny tliraad, by which
he was able to pull up a strong string,
and by that a sin ill rope, and finally a
rope strong tuough for him to slide dowu
ou ; so the story went, and so went bit
dream. 110 awoke.
Wby should he have suoli a dream ?
ll* had known that story by heart so
long, lie wasn't »n tin top of a chimney
dowu tn the earth was quite a different
thing ; down in the earth was quite a
different thing. While he was musing
over this out ions story and dream, a
swallow fluttered down the shaft and
dropped at bis side. The poor bird was
frightened but not dead.
Suddonly a thought posessed Newman
Uijhhnrn. mid he put Ibe swallow un
der his hit H» tore off hi* shoes and
s •okiiistA. whioli • carefully unraveled,
miking a circular pil tof the thread*
which w>'it!diint snarl.
lie worked eagerly vet patiently, un
til boih si -clings formed ••no iMig thread.
TUi- he caiefully,--,'i m very careful-
|ly !—.tied to the tail foat'iero, acd put
tli- biril under the hatocoo wore : than,
taking In* pencil; ha wrote on .1 bit of
paper, by (he lieht nf niatobea :
"1 am starving at the bottom of tlw
shsft on IMtford Mountain. t.l pray jou
tend help."
"NKVOIA* IIHIIIJJohx "
Tbet, folding it up, and lying it care
fully on thj ot!i.ii en luf 'he siting, lie
sot the bird at liberty !• guttered
about his head a. luonent arTtliiii rent
slowly up.
Now a faint, glad hope stole into Ills
heart , it grew stronger as the bird still
iscended # Yes —noble litUo swallow !
—the string was growing less every mo
ment. Perhaps a life hung by that
thread. T i.e bird disappeared out of
the tnoiith above.
Ilow many chances, after all. had be?
Ho shudder..d when he thnght how slight
thoy wrre. Should the bird go to the
right or te she lelt after reaching opsn
air, how easily, by the friction on the
shaft's outir edge, would the thread be
worn ofl.
I.itile Uirdie found, after getting out,
that it was harder to fly one bide and
so sailed high up in the air.
Highborn could now see it again, the
sun shining bright 1; on its wings be
ltuw it must be iir above the surtaco
• «•••• ,
The party of three, with which High,
born slur ed, had missed him some time,
and now were giving anxious search.
They had passed and repassed the old
shaft, and it had not oeeuied to ihoin to
that hiwniglit have fallen in there Tlioy
had looked down into it once, out ol
mer curiosity, but saw only blackness
below. As they were discussing what
should be done next, van said ;
"What is that by yuu, Fi'ts J"
'•Where !"
"There, not three fe t to your right ;
a string, yarn or souietbing. Why, it
lays a lung way to the bushes."
••Pull it," said Sam Highborn, New
man's brother.
Fills pulled it and a bird fluttered
about two rods away.
"Why, the poor bird is tied to that
string ; 1 wonder what inhuuiau rusoal
could have been guilty oi such a thing!'
"It's a swallow," said Fills.
'•I wonder where it's tied !" said
Sam. *
"Perhaps it's somebody's favorite
bird," said Pitts.
"Favori'e or no favorite, I'm going
•to give the poor thing it's liberty," and
he out the string.
Birdie kucw wiiat that meant and in
a moment was among the cljuds- Sum
followed the string, and suddsuly called
to Futs :
'Coiue here, Fitts : hero is a note on
the end of tho string. 11c tore it open
and read aloud :
"I aui starving at :hc bottom of the
shaft on ltousford Mountain, i pray
you send help.
NKWMAN lliuiibor.4."
'•(Jood heavens, Fitts ! Down in the
hole—alive ! Not twenty jsrds from
here. It eau't be, yet ho says so."
Itotlr rushed for the shaft.

bourago. Newman was anxiously wait,
iug ; h) had watched the tnoulb of the
shaft above, until weary, he bad laid
down, resting one cheek on Ins hand.
Ho bad not been iu ibat position long
when he was suddenly startled by some
little chips of woods that were falling
about him, and at the same timo he
heard voices echoing down tho shall.
He looked up, and could see two per
sons looking down.
Oh, how ho shoutod ! A few ruoro
anxious moments, and a billet dropped
at Ins sido. He lighted a match and
•ad :
Wo are hero, and will bring help as
soon as possible."
Nam llionkorn and Fitts
He shouted "Hurrah '" back, which
was only a roaring, incoherent noise
when it reached the open air. This was
hope ludeed although threo hundred feet
above.
A long hour passed—two, three.
Night came. Four, ive, six, seven
hoars. Souiethig was earning down, lie
could see tbo light of a eaudle at the
top. 71iump, thump, thump, and a
rope, a stout rope bit bead.

the public loafing resorts about nine
o'clock every evening, and after louk.
ing around enquiringly would say,
"Well, gentlemen, what are jou doing

The squire inferred that a man who
loved to loaf around bar-roouis and bill,
lard roomc at night could not have a
pleasant home, and the squire was right.
Anno who prefers the smell of tobac
co smoke and stale beer, and tho miscel
laneous society which is usually found
in placet of this sort, to the musical
laughter of children, the sweet smile of
a loving wife, the pertuuic of flowers and
the companionship of good hooks, must
havo a very depraved taste. To bo
sure, there arc homes tits', arc not pleas
