Stet a Cora stood on the front As scald see her brother tier plump hands after him. Back occasionally and threw wasting Wall. 1 his proved to be a Wise ree aution. As Tim with his train rumbled past this door he involuntarily glanced at it to see that it was in Good working order. He had become imbued with the fear of impending danger and Ned too glanced from Siderio Side As he hurried along. He snorted his disapproval. All the Forenoon the empty cars were drawn in and the loaded ones taken out with the regularity of clockwork. Tim and Ned had been at that work so Long that each knew exactly what to do. Overhead the River rumbled and roared. Inch of Inch the water climbed the Banks and carried away the newly fallen leaves or whirled them off into Little eddies by Tim knew nothing of what was going on outside. The owners of the mine watched the rapidly rising Waters with apprehend bion. The River was higher than it had been for some time and they feared for the safety of the men hard at work beneath the taking Waters. A consultation was held and it was resolved to Call out All miners and labourers at 12 o clock. At la o clock an order was sent Down for every Man in the mine to come out at noon and bring their tools with them. The order was obeyed with alacrity. A few minutes to 12 the tools were piled into empty cars and the men filed from the River division and went toward the Bottom of the Shaft to be hoisted into the Bright Sunshine and safety. Tim was the last and was about to go partly loaded with tools dinner pail which us jumped Down and ran Back fifty Yards to get it. When he re turn -thee1 i fold t or governor i. I Ruoai Iees of c.

Tim always had a Caress for four footed Friend. A bit of Apple or other Dainty morsel was Ned s daily from turn. In time the two became Liri endly that there was no friction be them and the miners playfully fed them Tim got hold of a brass tacks one Day and drove them m red s harness in such a Way As to 3se" these characters appear in Bright is rim clattered along that morning the Mouth of the mine the a was just rising. It was Early in octo v and the surrounding Hills were re a deut in their fall attire. Now and a red dropped from among its and fluttered to the ground in the atmosphere. The Sun was out in All is splendor that morning the first time several Days. Tim not notice the beauties of nature hurried along not that he was not a of the Beautiful but his thoughts on a subject which More directly con denied his Tver Tare. His father had been killed in a mine a a few months before and Tim Felt responsibility of the support of his bother and sister resting on his Young boulders. He desired to attend school an education which would fit urn for higher duties in life but at that Sra tent the Outlook was decidedly gloomy i i onry aug Friend. He could not see How pc ail accomplish that which Hui desired bile rapport of the family depended Al not solely on his labor. Wea he reached Tho Mouth of the mine fed was backed into the Cage and Tim Fol teed and put up the bars. While waiting to the Man in charge of the machinery to am Back the lever and lower the Cago to i tie Bottom of the Shaft a Hundred feet be 1 Low he heard some one inquire As to the stage of the water 5a the River which i sowed swiftly by 200 Yards away. Tim 1 glanced hastily River Ward at the instant s the Cage started downward and saw that 5 the water was almost to the top of the 5 Tonka of tie Stream and was filled with s floating Driftwood. Heavy fall Rains had of set in week before and in consequence of the great rainfall the Stream was extremely High. Fit tent a thought of serious danger however Tim dropped foot after to Ward the Center of the Earth with Ned i feasting softly on his neck As the two stood crowded into the Cage. To quiet. Commanded Tim As the Wilmal manifested some uneasiness at Tho of water dripping faster than usual Tore the sides of the Shaft. You Are not getting skittish in your old Days i Trust patting Ned on the nose. The animal placed his head affectionately on Tim s shoulder and became quiet. When the cart stopped at the Bottom the bars were lowered and Ned followed Tim out. Tim had lighted a Little tin lard Oil lamp which he carried at the front of his Cap before entering the Cage. When he emerged from the Cage he saw the lamps of Many miners flashing about Here and there like before a storm in sum of fir As Tho men prepared to go to the Vari Ous departments of the mine. He had wit messed similar scenes Many times be Ora Aid paid no attention to them but hitched Ned to the train of empty cars that stood j waiting Aad with a merry crack of his Wilip and a cheerful a Long went tattling away Over the steel rail track. Halt a dozen miners had clambered into ii cars with their dinner pails and the tools which they had taken out of the mine the night before to get re pointed. Pm was perched up on the of the Tor Ward car and a had to frequently Duck his head to avoid colliding with Well overhanging obstructions. After going n. Short distance Tom looked into the car nest to him and observed that its occupants two old miners were Dis cussing something of a serious nature. Namas Jenkins the one nearest Tim had removed his lamp from his Cap and was gently t Appi no the Side of it against the toe of his shoo in order to expose More of the i trick so that the Light would Burn brighter. The Blazo flared up Tim could see the 1 faces of the two men and was alarmed at i their seriousness. He caught the word water Asho strained his ears to hear they were saying. The rumble of the cars and the Many echoes bounding Back from the Walls and the roof of the mine die wed Tho remainder of the conversation. Tim had heard enough however to make Bim uneasy. The part of the mine in which Fca worked was almost directly under the 6ed of the River. There were Many feet of apparently solid Sandstone Between the Jester and the. Coal vein but sometimes it was feared that with a High stage of water the Ris or and its consequent heavy pres sure an opening fissure might let the water into the mine and drown All the a blues besides ruining the property. 1 by owners of the min-3, in order to guard nya inst such n catastrophe As much As possible had years before walled up the Entrance to that part of the mine leaving Only room enough Lor the cars to Pasa through. A Stout Oaken door was then inn so that it closed from the inside. Which made that part of the mine almost separate from the other it was so arranged that the awful darkness. Tim screamed for help but the sound of his voice was drowned by a great noise which seemed to fill the cavity about him. At first a Small Stream of water poured Down on him. It grew in volume every second. Tim tugged and twisted to get out from under the weight that held him fast. His most violent efforts were fruit less. He knew that his time was Short if he did not succeed in getting out for he realized that the Long dreaded moment had arrived when the River was breaking into the mine. He raised his voice again and again for help but the Only answer he heard was millions of echoes. Just As he was about to resign himself to his Fate he Felt a warm breath on his face Ned had come Back. Tim reached up and clasped his faithful Friend tightly about the neck and cried out Back Ned for a second he thought his arms would be pulled from his body and at the Shoul Ders. Then he Felt himself drawn slowly Forward and it seemed that his legs would be broken As they slipped from among the stones that held him to the ground. The instant he was free Ned bounded away be tween the rails with Tim still hanging to his neck and his body swinging Back above the animal s hoofs. By this time the water was coming Down in a Stream a foot in diameter and growing larger every moment. At the door to the department Ned Stum bled and threw Tim to one Side which caused the animal to swerve near the Wall. In some Way one Trace Chain caught in the handle of the door and closed it with a bang which wedged it Between the door posts As Ned dashed on with his human Burden toward the Bottom of the Shaft. All was confusion there. The most Able bodied were hurrying up the ladders As a general alarm had been sounded when the Roar of water was first heard. Ned stopped with a snort and with his eyes gleaming in the darkness with excitement. Tim dropped limply to the ground but was hastily picked up and carried to the Cage. Ned backed into his accustomed place and the signal was Given to hoist away. The machinery was started and a few seconds later Tim and Ned were safely on top of the ground. All the miners were out in a Short time. Tim was unconscious when he reached the surface and was carried out into the fresh air. Ned followed closely and watched the movements of the men with As great anxiety As a dumb brute could express. In a Short time Tim opened his eyes and in turning his head to one Side he saw Ned., the animal crowded up at a signal Tim and received the caresses lavished on him in a Way that would Lead one to be that he knew All bout what had the of Iro Thui in the to us Stiitt.
