You see, sir, returned thq, demonstrator, perched high like a sculptor at work on some heroic masterpiece, what we want is to split off this rock. lie patted the flank of the huge slab. Theres a lovely vein running at an angle inward from where I sit. Split that through, and the rock should roll of its own weight a way from the entrance.

Supposing you dont catch it! Well, suposing I dont! Its dynamite, isnt it! Something of the same nature. Joveite, its called. Stall the surgeon stared at him. Barnett laughed. Oh, youve got the high explosives superstition, he said lightly. Dynamite dont go off as. easy as people think. You could drop that stuff from the cliff head without danger Have I got to come down for it! With a wry face Trendon tossed up the package. It was deftly caught. Now wet that dirt well. Pufit in the canvas bag yonder and send one of the men up with it. Im' going to make a mud pie. Breaking the package open he spread the yellow powder in a slightly curving line along the rock. With the mud he capped this over, forming a littlea relied roof. To keep it from blowing away, surmised Trendon. No. To make it blow down instead of blow mg up. it Oh, rotl returned the downright surgeon. That pound of dirt wont make a shadow of ' difference Wont itl retorted the other, Curious thing about high exvlosives. A mud cap will hold down the force as well as a ton of rock. Wait and see what happens to the rock beneath. He sild olf his perch into the ankle dcep wa ter and waded out to the boat. Here he burrowed for a moment, presently emerging with a box This he carried gingerly to a convenient rock and opened. First he lifted out some soft padding. A small tin box honeycombed insile came to light. With infinite precaution 'Barnett picked out an object yiat looked like a 22 caliber short cartridge, wad led some cotton batten in his hand, set the thing in the wadding laid .t on the rock, carefully returned the small box to the large box and the large box to, the boat, took up the cartridge again and waded frnek-ju.4 Theyjratched him ip silence This is the little devil, he said, indicating his delicate burden.

Just give it ' r one hard look and its off, Here, said Trendon, I resign. From now on Im a spectator. Barnett swung the fulminate in his handker chief and gave it to a sailor to hold. The man handled it like ft newborn infant. Back to his rock went Barnett. Producing some cord he let down an?end. v Tie the handkerchief on and get out of the way, he directed. With painful slowness the man carried out the first part of the order. The latter half he obeyed with sprightly alScrity. Very slowly, very delicately, the expert drew in his danger-ou- s bufden. Once a current of air puffed it against the face of the rock, and the operators head was hastily withdrawn. Nothing happened, Another minute and he had the tiny shell in hand. A fuse was fixed to it and it was shoved under the mud cap." Barnet stood up. Will you kindly order the boat.ready, Captain Parkinson! he called, T ' , The order was given. As soon as I light the fuse I will come down and well pull out fifty yards. Leave the rest of the Joveite where it is. All ready ! Here -- COPYRIGHT, V9 07, BY' McCLURE.
