and net forth on this expedition Into

When a new da? dawned be was |

among (be rocks at tbe bead ot the

Day after -d*v passed lb a monoto- i

At t*"<v nfter tbree wwks of delving

soogtt his pick once more and again
applied himself to tbe taak. hot It was
only ? dying spntt of ambition. and at i
sunset be once more tossed tbe hnpte* ,
moot aside and fixing himself on tbe
ground in Ntter despair.
Be had staked his future and Cora's
on tbe rare smile of the goddess ot for
tune, and she had chosen to frown
upon him.
*Tve paid my tribute to labor." be |
said grimly after awbllo. He surveyed
his bruised and blistered hands and
the turmoil of rocks and earth be had
tossed up in tbe canyon. He took stock
?t his nranty store of provisions and
parted them together. Thee be turned
his hack on the canyon and rounded
tbe rocky entrance and climbed tbe
heights to tbe fringe of chestnuts and
p?cana.
He made h!s war through tbe grove
of nut trees and was once more on a
certain rocky trail when it occurred to
him tbat night was drawing In and be |
must make camp until morning So be
returned to the nut grove, ate a iranty
menl and threw himself on the warm
ground and went to sleep, wore at heart
and Ntter wKb the whole world.
It was Jtret before dawn that he
awoke to a strange rocking motion.

with tbe effects ol tbe earthquake, tbe
man fiung hltn?e!l upon his knees and
gave thanks to tbe one who bad dl

Clarence Ives it was a greater miracle j
than those which be bad read a boot in ,
tbe Ribie.
He was to witness a srlll greater mir

had secured Ms hag ol rrertous metal
and bad searched for smd discovered

when once more tbe earth trembled.

and he saw the earth beneath the re

and precipitate the rock ba< k into Ira
