Sure enough it didnt look much like a joke now that he saw it on both sides. Where was Bob Kennedy, that he did not step forward to help his friend out? Where was Gussie? Where was his own vaunted courage?

Officer, do your Take to the station! man this duty. Did Gilbert hear aright? He had not time to discuss the matter, or indeed to say another word. Some philosohas remarked quaintly that when pher a man begins to go down hill, it seems as if all creation was greased for the occasion. So jthe way for the departure of the poljceman and his prisoner was made very expeditious. The other members of the family made themselves invisible, so there was no one to whom he could "appeal, and doors opened and shqt like magic for them to pass through, And it seemed no time at all before the unhappy lover was locked in a celi at the police station. But he did inot languish there all Bob Kennedy, who had been night. late in keeping the appointment, appeared to hail Jhim out, and after rousing several officials each of whom was the wrong one from their beds, he rescued his friend, and then consoled him with a cold bottle and a hot bird in the early morning hours. He took Bobs advice to leave town on a business tour and. to remain until such time as Father Marstons wrath had cooled. ,There was no notice of the burglary or his arrest in the newspapers, and he left it to Bob to explain, away any lingering suspicion against him. He was to say that Gilbert saw the open window, and followed the burglar to intercept him, or any other harmless untruth that seemed to fit in. Bob did his part so well that before Gilberts return he read in the society columns an announcement of that faithless friends engagement, to the versatile Gussie. And then it dawned upon him that there had been no burglar as well as no elopement.

The pirate frequented this part of the coast, which afforded many an ideal harbor for hia ship. The newly found cave is close to an excellent anchorage, writes a New York correspondent. Bald Porcupine is one of the many islands in Frenchmans Bay, which, on account of its inaccessibility, has not been made a place of visitation by the summer tourist. It has been used for sheep raising. Harvey Hodgkins and Erl Bunker, of Bar Harbor, were strolling about the island recently and when near the highest point saw a dark spot on the cliff. The top of the rough cliff towered fifty feet above. Bunker let himself in for a dozen feet, but soon appeared again and said it was dark as night within and that the passage led away to the right into a big chamber. The two men then procured torches and lanterns. They knew that men were then digging for Capt. Kidds buried treasure near Ellsworth, only a score of miles away, and they thought that if the pirate had buried his wealth anywhere on the Maine coast he could not have selected a bettei place than the cave on Bald Porcupine, which guards the entrance of a harbor fitted by nature for a pirates retreat. When they returned the light from a torch lit up a vaulted chamber about 50 feet long and from 15 to 20 feet in height. There was a noise as of running water. The floor of the chamber was found to be level, and it was covered with an oozing piud to the depth of a foot or more. The light from the torches began to grow dim and the men realized that the foul air was fast sickening them. They hurried out Into the open air with blanched faces, hut with anticipations of the possible treasure to be found in the cave. The secret leaked out in Bar Harbor, and the discoverers consented to take a few friends to the spot. In the party were Serenus Rodick, Milton Rodick and Fountain Rodick, the owners of Rodick or Bar Island, which lies near Bald Porcupine, and who know every spot about Frenchmans Bay. They were enjoined to secrecy and consented to share in the treasure equally. The party brought with them oilskin M and firearmsfezeemo- suits, long rubber boots, lanterns, torches and firearms. The Rodicks had been on exploring expeditions- on Mount Desert Island before, and built a big fire at the entrance to the cave. In half an hour the party entered, and the light from the half dozen torches and the bonfire illuminated the cavern, disclosing an ideal retreat for smugglers ex-or pirates. The space before them ditended half a hundred feet in one rection, upward to the height ot twenty feet and was about twenty feet in width As the men stepped into the room they sank in the mud a foot or more and cautiously poked their way along the floor, oftentimes knee deep in slime. On the side walls little scintillating glimmers cautioned them that there were snakes in the cave. A hissing noise all about caused the men to stop ' and listen. Coiled in a corner was a huge bunch of snakes of all colors and sizes. The men fired a volley from their guns and blazed away with revolvers until the corner was strewn jwith brightly-colore- d bits of snakes and writhing remnants of tails. It is estimated that there were 200 snakes in the bunch. Suddenly one of the party stumbled anchor and chain. across a rust-eate- n chain of the The links parted on being lifted, and the anchor crumbled at a touch. Further on were a number of shelves hewn out of the stone, and near by was a passage extending beyond the ceiling, which appeared to lead to the top. A few pieces of old crumbling iron and half a short sword rewarded the searchers. This part of the cave had also been used for a fireplace. At another part of the cave a stream of water trickled through from the mountain side, and this explained the mud on the floor. At one end the roof sloped into a dark, narrow passage through which Milton Rodick squeezed himself against the protests of his comrades. When he emerged he said that the passage led down a steep hole, and that he was compelled to retreat, but that he believed it led to another room as big as the one they were then in. A battered pewter mug was found in a crevice on the southern side of the cave. Another expedition to fully explore the strange cave Is now being organized. The mysterious pas age will be investigated and a search i3 to be made for buried treasure. . - j H'i-s-th-h- -i V. ? V. IX Snot Tron-- h Thu I'amtar U.tstlen Le-pij- IVoti Ills. Yellowstone Buffalo.

His mother worked in the field to keep that sickly boy at school. At 15 he went to Paris alone, starved for seven years, painted without success, but still painted He had just finished a picture to send to the salon when Paris was besieged and he rushed with his comrades to the trenches. On the first day a shell fell into his studio and destroyed his picture and another shell fell at his feet, wounding him. He was carried home and lay ill and idle for two years. Then he returned to Paris and, reduced to absolute want, painted cheapr fans in order to earn for himself a living. One day a manufacturer of some patent medicines ordered a picture from him to illustrate its virtues. Lepage, who was sincere, gave his best work to the advertisement, He painted a landscape In the April sunlight, the leaves of tender green quivered in the breeze; a group of beautiful girls gathered round the fountain from which the elixir of youth sprang in a bubbling steam. Lepage believed there was real merit in it. Let me offer.it to the salon, he said to his patron. The manufacturer was delighted. But first paint a rainbow arching over the fountain, he said, with the name of my medicine upon it. Lepage refused. Then I will not pay you a sou for the picture! The price of his picture meant bread for months and the painter had long needed bread. The chance of admission to the salon was small. He hesitated. Then he silenced his hunger and carried the canvas to the salon. It was admitted. Its great success insured Lepage a place in public recognition and his later work a place among the greatest living artists. Repairing la A perfect fit guaranteed. branches.
