BURIED ALIVE.—TATS TFI SEE (A :.., PERILS. Seven miners were baried nnder the mins of tbe shaft but although masses of coal and clay fell into tbe nail from tbe side nearest to tbe explosion*, and blocked tip some of tbe passages, nobody was crashed to death there only the smoke was so stifling that it seemed impossible to live.

Tbat smoke was lighter than tbe ar its

vealed three figures.

degrees and re

Grace Hope, by bsppy instinct, had sunk upon tne ground to breathe in that stifling smoke. Hope, who had collared Ben Burnley, who sunk to tbe ground with him, but still clutched tbe assassin.

These

were tbe three left alive

in tbe ball, and this was tbe first strug gle for life. As soon as it was possible to speak, Hope took up his lamp, which bad fallen, and holding it up high, be cried, "Grace, my child, wbereare yoa T" 8be came to him I recti be took ber in bis arms and thanked God for this preservation.

Then be gave Burnley a kick, and ordered bim to tbe right band of tbe ball. "You'll keep to that side," he said, "and thiak of what yon have done vour vietirn will this side, and comfort each otber till honest mtm undo your work, vou villain."

Burnley crouched, and wriggled away like a whipped bound, and flung himself down in bitter despair. "Ob, papa," we have escaped a great danger, but shall we ever see tbe light of day?" "Of course we shall, child be sure tbat great efforts will be made to sive us. Miners have their faults, but leaving other men to porish is not one of them the^e are no greater heros ia the world than those rough fellows, with all their faults. What you and I must do at once Is to search for provisions and lamps and tools If there are no poisonous

set free, it is a mere question of me. My poor child has a bard life before ber Dutonly live, and we shall be rescued." f-»j.i These brave words comforted Grace, to they were Intended to do, and she accompanied ber father down tbe one passage which was left open after the explosion. Fortunately this led to a new working, and before be bad gone many

Sards

Hope found a lamp that bad been ropped by some miner who bad rushed into the ball as the first warning came Hope extinguished the light, and gave it to Grace. "That will be twenty-four hours' light to as," said be "but, oh, what I want to -find is food. There must be some left behind." "Pafw," said Grace, "I think I saw a miner throw a bag into an empty truck when the first alarm was given." "Back 1 back! my child cried fiepe,

that villain finds It 1"

He did not wait for her, but ran back, and be fcund Ben Burnley in the neighborhood of that very truck but Burnley sneaked off at his approach. Hope, looking into the truck, found treasure*—a dozen new sacks, a heavy hammer, a small bag of nails, a can of tea, and a bag »lth a loaf in it, and aeveral broken pieces of bread. He put his lamp out directly, for he had lucifer matches In hi* pocket, and he hid the bag of broad then he lighted bis lamp again and fastened it up by a nail in the centre of the ball. "There," said he to Burnley, "that's to light us both equally when It goes out, you must hang up yours in its place." "That's fair," said Burnley, humbly.

There were two trucks on Hope's side of the hall—the empty one in question, and one tbat was full of coal. Both stood about two yards from Hope's side ot the hall. Hope turned tbe empty truck and turned It parallel to the otber then he nailed two Hacks together and fastened them to tbe coal truck ana the debris then he laid sacks upon the ground for Grace to lie on, and he kept two sacks for himself, and two in reserve, atad he took two end threw them to Ben Burnley.

I give you two, and I keep two myself." said he. "But ray daughter shall have a room to herself even here and if you molest ber I'll brain you with this hammer." "I don't wsnt to molest her," said Burnley. "It ain't my fault she's here."

Then there was a gloomy silence, and well there might be. The one lamp, twinkling faintly against tbe wall, did but make darkness visible, and revealed tbe horror of this dl*mal scene. The weary hours began to crawl away, market! only by Hope's watcb, for in this living tomb summer was wiuter, and day was night.

The horrors ot entombment in a mine have, we think, been described better than any other calamity which befalls rneu. Inspired oy this subject, sts hare gone beyond themselves, journalists have gone beyond themselves: and. without any affectation, we aav we do not think we could go through the dismal scene before us in its general details without falling below many gifted contemporaries, and adding bulk with value to their descriptions. The true characteristic feature of tkht sad scene w*a sot, we think, the alterna* tions of hope and despair, nor the gradual sinking of frames exhausted by hanger and thirst, bat the (circumstance that here an assassin and his victims were involved in one terrible calamity and as one day succeeded to another, and the hoped-for nwnte came not, the hatred of the assassin and his victims was sometime* at odds with the fellowship tbat sprang out of a joint calamity. About twelve tears after tbe explosion, Burnley detected Hope and hia daughter eating, and moistening their lij» with

said the radian, ltva pi teems mcrfm. Hope gave a eon of snarl of bat still oe flung a era* to htm, as wonkl to a

Then, sfter some slight hesitation, Grac« rose qoletiy and took tbe smaller can, and ftlMKl It with tea, and toot it arre«s to him. "Tbe^s," said slit, ••and may Ood torgive yoa!"

He took it and stared at her. "It ain't my fault that you are here," —IH be bat she pat ap her hand as much as to say, "No idle words."

Two whole days had now elapsed. The food, though economized, was all gone. Burnley's lamp was flickering, and utter darkness waa about to be added to the horrors which were now^beginning to chill the hopes with which these poor soals bsd entered on tneir dire probation. Hope took the alarm, seized the expiring lamp, trimmed It. and carried it down tbe one passage that was open. This time be did not confine his researches to tbe part where be could stand upright, bat went on his bands and knees down tbe newest work. At tbe end of it he gavea sboat of triumph, and in a few minutes returned to his daughter, exsasted, and blackened all over with coal bat tbe lamp was now burning brightly in his hand, and roand his neck was tied a can of oil. "Oh, my poor father," said Grac^ "is tbat all yon have discovered "Thank God for it," said Hope. "Yoa little know what it would be to pass two more days here without light, as well as .without food."

Tbe next day was terrible. Tbe violent pangs of hunger began to gnaw like vultures, and tbe thirst was still more intolerable the pangs of hunger intermitted for hours at a time, and then returned, to intermit again they exhausted but did not infuriste but the rage of thirst became incessant and maddening. Ben Burnley suffered tbe most from this, and the wretch came to Hope for consolation. "Where's the sense of biding here," said he, "to be burned to deetb wi' drought? Let's flood tbe mine, and drink or be drowned." "How can I flood the mine?" said

"^5fou know best, mister," said the man. "Why, how many tons of water did ye draw from yon tank every day?" "we conduct about five tons into a pit, and we send about five tons ujrto the surface daily."

Then bow much water will there be in tbe tank now Hope looked at his watch and said, "There was a good deal of water in the tank when you blew up the mine there must be about thirty tons in it now." "Well, then," said Burnley, "you that knows everything, help me burst the wall o' tank It's thin now."'

Hope reflected. "If weletln tbewholebody of water," said be, "it would shatter us to pieces, and crush us against tbe walls of our prison, and drown us before it ran away through the obstructed passages Into tbe new workings. Fortunately we have no pickaxe, and can not be tempted to eelf-slaugbter."

This silenced Burnley for the day, and he remained sullenly apart still, in

Hope did not answer this directly. "There, don't go to meet trouble, my man," said he. "Give me tbe can, Grace. Now, Burnley, hold this can, and catch every drop till it is full." "Why, it will take hauf a day to fill it," objected Burnley, "and it will be hauf mud when all is done."

He darted to apart of the mine where he bad seen a piece of charred timber he dragged it in with him and asked Graoe for a pocket-handkerchief. She gave bim a clean cambric one. He took his pocket-knife and soon scraped off a little heap of charcoal and then he tewed the handkerchief into a bag—for the handy man always carried a needle and thread.

Slowly, slowly, the muddy water trlcklea Into the little can, and then, the bag being placed over tbe larger can, slowly, slowly, the muddy water trickled through Hope's filter, and dropped clear and drinkable into the large can In that dead life of theirs, with no in cidenta but torments and terrors, the

hours parsed swiftly in this experiment. Hope sat upon a great lump of coal, bis daughter kneeled In frost of him, gaslog at him with love, oonfidenoB, reverence and Burnley kneeled In front of bim too, but at a greater distance, with wolfish eyes full of thirst and nothing

At last the little can was two-thirds fall of clear water. Hope took the little iron spoon which he bad found along with the tea, and gave a full spoonful to his daughter. "My child," said he, "Iqf it trickle very alowly over your tongue and down your throat it is tbe throat and the adjacent organs which suffer most from thirst." He then took a spoonful himself, not to drink after an assassin. He then gave a spoonful to Burnley, with the same instructions, and rose from bis seat and gave the can to Grace, and said, "The rest of this pittan oe must not be touched for six hoars at least."

liquid and then dashing down tbe spoon, said, "I'll have the rest ont if I die for it," and made a furious rash at Grace Hope.

She screamed faintly, and Hope met him fall in that incantioaa rash, and felled him like a log with a single blow. Burnley lay there with his heels tapping the ground for a little while, then be got on his hands and knees, and crawled away to the farthest corner of his own place, and sat brooding.

That night when Grace retired to rest, Hope lay down at ber feet, with his hammer In his hand, and when one slept, tbe otber watched, for they fetfred an attack. Toward tbe morning ot tbe next day Grace's qnick senses heard a mysterious noise In Burnley's quarter she woke ber father. Directly be went to tbe place, and he found Burnley at work on his knees tearing away with bis bands and nails tbe ruins ot the shaft. Apparently furv supplied tbe place of strength, for be bad ralsedqaite a large kmp behind htm, and he bad laid bare tbe feet up to the knees of a dead miner. Hope reported tbi* In a hushed voice to Grace, and said, solemnly, "Poor wreteh, he's going mad, I

"Oh do," said Gnaoe, "that would be too horrible. What ever shoo Id we do?" "Keep bim to his own side, that is ail," Mia E&OMb "But,** objected (trace, in dismay, "if few Is mad, be won't listen, and he will come here and attack me."

"If be does," said Hope, t*s all."

tbe

Idea never lert his mfnd." The next day, toward evening, he asked Hope to light bis own lamp, and come and look at the wall ol the tank. "Not without me," whispered Grace. "I see bim cast looks of hatred at you."

Ibey went together, and Burnley, bade Hope observe that tbe water was trickling through in places, a drop at a time it could not penetrate the coaly veins, nor the streaks of clay, but it oozed through tbe porous strata, certain strips of blackish earth in particular, and it trickled down, a drop at a time. Hope looked at this feature with anxiety for ne was a roan of science, and knew by the fate of banked reservoirs, great and small, tbat strange explosive power of a little water driven through strata by a great body pressing behind it. you'll see, it will bprst Itself," said Burnley, exultantly, "aud the sooner •.be better for me for l'll never get alive oat on t' mine: you blowed me to the men, and they'll break every bone in my skin."

mast kill bim, that's all." Burnley, however, in point of fact, kept more and more aloof for many boors be never left his work till be laid bare tbe whole body of that miner, and fonnd a pickaxe in his dead hand. This be did, and reserved it for deadly uses he was not clear in his mind whether to brain Hope w?th it, and so be revenged on bim fcr having shut him up in .that mine, or whether to peck a hole in the tank and destroy all three by a quicker death than thirst or starvation. The savage had another and more horrible reason for keeping outof sight maddened by thirst he had recourse to that last extremity better men have been driven to he made a cat with his clasp-knife in the bresst of tbe deed miner, and tried to swallow jellied blood.

This horrible relief never lssts long, and the penalty follows in a few hoars bat' the mean time the savage obtained relief, and even, vigor, from this ghastly source, and seeing Hope and his daughter lying comparatively weak and exhausted, he came and sat down at a little distance in front of them: that was partly done to divert Hope from examining his shambles and his unnatural work. "Malster,"said he, "bow long have we been here?" "Six days and more," said Hope. "Six days," said Grace, faintly, for her powers were now quite exhausted— "ana no signs of help, no hope of rescue." "Do not say so, Grace. Rescue in time is certain, and, therefore, while we live there is hope." "Ay," said Burnley, "foryou tew, but not for me. You telt tbe men tbat I fired t' mine, and if one of those men gets free, they'll all tear me limb from jacket. Why should I leave one grave to walk Into another? But for you I should have been away six days agone." "Man," said Hope, "can not you see that my hand was but the instrument? It was the hand of Heaven tbat kept yon back. Cease to blame your victims and begin to see things as they are, and to repent. Even to escape, could «the white fsces ever fade from your sight, or the dying shrieks ever leave your ear, of the brave men you so foully murdered Repeat, monster, repent 1"

Burnley wan not touched, but he was scared by Hope's solemnity, and went to his own corner muttering, and as be crouched there there, came over his dull brain what in due course follows tbe horrible meal he had made—a feverish frenzy.

In the meantime Grace, who had been lying half insensible, raised her head slowly and said, in a low voice, "Water, water I"

Ob, my girl," said Hope, in despair,

I'll go and get enough to moisten your lips: but the last scrap of food-has gone, tbe last drop of oil is burning away, and

in an hour we shall be In darkness and ddflpftir*" "No, no, father," said Grace, "not while there is water there, beautiful wator." "But vou can not drink that unfiltered it is foul, it is poisonous." "Not that, papa," said Grace, "far beyond tbat—look! See that clear river sparkling in the iunlight how bright and beautiful it shines 1 Look at the waving trees upon the otber side, tbe green meadows and the bright blue sky, and there—there—there—are tbe great white swans. No, no I forgot they are not swans tbey are sbipe sailing to tbe bright land you told me of, where there Is no suffering and no sorrow."

Then Hope, to bis horror, began to see that this must be the very hallucination of which be bad read, a sweet illusion of green fields end crystal water, which often precedes actual death by thirst and starvation. He trembled, he secretly to God to spare ber, and not to kill his new-found child, bis darling, in his arms.

By-and-by Grace spoke again, but this time her senses were clear. "How dark It's grown 1" she said. "Ab, we are back again in that awful mine." Then, with tbe patient fortitude of a woman when once she thinks tbe will of the Almighty is declared. she laid ber hand upon his shoulder, and she said, soothingly, "Dear father, bow to Heaven's will then she held up both her feeble arms to him—"Kiss me, father—FOR WE ARK TO

DIG 1

With these firm and patient words, she laid ber sweet head upon tbe ground and hoped and feared no more.

But the man could not bow like the woman. He kissed her as she bade him and laid her gently down but after tbat be sprang wildly to bis feet in a frenzv, and raged aloud, and his daughter could no longer hear him. "No, no,"hecried: "this thing can not be tbey have had seven days to get to as. "^.h, but there are mountains and rocks of esrth and coal piled up between as. We are buried alive In the bowels of tbe earth. "Well, and shouldn't I have blasted a hundred rocks, and picked through mountains, to save a hundred lives, or to save one sacb life as this, no matter whose child she was "Ah you poor scum, you came to me whenever you wanted me, and yoa never came la vain. But now that I want you, you smoke your pipes, and walk calmly over this livtug tomb I lie In. 'Well, call yourselves men, and let yoar friends perish I am a man, and 1 can die."

Then he threw himself wildly on his knees over his insensible daughter. "Bat my child 1 Ob God! look down upon my child! Do, pray, see the horror of it. The horror and the hellish injustice 1 She has but just found ber father. She is jast beginning life it's not her time to die 1 Why, yoa know, she only came here to save her father. Heaven's blessing Is the right of pious children it's promised in God's Word. Tbey are to live long upon earth, not to be cat off like criminals."

Then he rose wildly, and raged about the {dace, flinging his arms on high, so that even Burnley, though his own reason was shaken, cowered away from the fury of a strong mind. "Men and angels cry oat against it!" be screamed, in madness and despair. "Can this thing be Can Heaved and earth look calmly on and see this horror? Are meiwall ingratitude? Is

irritated, forgave him, that blow seem ed at first to ring from heaven. He stood still, and trembled like a leaf be listened: tbe sound was not repeated. "Ab," said he, "it was an illusion, tike ben."

But for all that be seised his hammer, and darted to tbe hack of the ball, and mounting on a huge fragment of coal, struck the seam high above his bead. He gave two Mows at longiah intervals, and tbee three Mows tn quick succession.

Grace beard, and began to raise barself on ber head in wonder.

TEHEE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT,

Simply, *1

Outside the wall came two leisurely blows that seemed a mile off, though tbey were not ten feet, and then three blows In qaick succession. "My signal echoed," yelled Hope. "Do you hear, child, my signal answered? Thank God! thank God! thank God!"

He tell on his knees and cried like a pViilfl- The next minute, burning with hope and joy, he was by Grace's side, with bis arms round her. "You can't give way now. Fight on a few minutes more. Death, I defy yoa I am a father I tear my child from your clutches." With this be raised her in his arms with surprising vigor. It waa Grace's tarn to shake off all weakness, under the great excitement of the brain. "Yes, I'll live," she cried, "I'll live for you. Oh, the gallant men Hear, hear the pickaxes at work an army is coming to our rescue, father the God you doubted sends them, and some Hero leads them."

The words had scarcely left her Hps when Hope set her down in fresh alarm. An enemy's pickaxe was at work to destroy them Burnley was picking furiously at the weak part of the tank, shrieking, "They will tear me to pieces there is no hope in this world nor the next for me." "Madman," cried Hope—"he'll let the water in before they can save us." He rushed at Burnley and seized him but his frenzy was gone, and Burnley's was upon him after a short struggle Burnley flung bim off with prodigious power. Hope flew it him again, but incautiously. and the savage, lowering his head, drove it with such fary into Hope's chest that he sent him to a distance, and laid him flat on his back, utterly breathless. Grace flew to him and raised him.

He was not a man to lose bis wits. "To the truck," he gasped, "or we are lost." "IH flood the mine! I'll flood the mine 1" yelled Burnley.

Hope made his daughter mount a large fragment of coal we have already mentioned, and from tbat she sprang to the truck, and with her excitement and with ber athletic power she raised herself into the full truck, and even helped her father in after ber. But just as she got him OD to the truck, ana while he was still only on his knees, that section of tbe wali we bave called the tank rent and gaped under Burnley's pickaxe, and presently exploded about six feet from the ground, and a huge volume of water drove masses of earth and coal before it, and came roaring like a solid body straight at the coal truck, and drove it against the opposite wall, smashed the nearest side in, and would have thrown Grace off it like a feather, but Hop& kneeling and clinging to the side, held her like a Vise.

Grace screamed violently. Immediately there was a roar of exultation outside from the hitherto silent workers for that scream told that the woman was alive too: the wife of the brave fellow who had won all their hearts and melted away the Icy barrier of class.

Three glgantlo waves struck the truck and made it quiver. The first came half-way ap the second came full two-thirds the third dashed the senseless body of Ben Burnley, with bleeding bead and broken bones, against the very edge of tbe truck, then surged back with him into a whirling vortex.

Grace screamed continuously she

fouder

rave herself up now for lost and the she

screamed, the louder and the

nearer the saving party shouted and hurrahed. "No, do not fear," cried Hope "you shall not die. Love is stronger than death."

The words were scarce oat of bis mouth when the point of a steel pick came clean through the stuff snother fallowed above It then anotber, then another, tad then another. Holes were made, then gaps, then larger gaps then amass of coal fell In furious picks—a portion of the mine knocked away—and there stood, in a red blaze of lamps held up, the gallant band, roaring, shouting, woiklng, led by a stalwart glaut with bare arms, begrimed and bleeding, face smoked, hair and eyebrows black with coal-dust, and eyes flaming like red coals. He sprang with one fearless bound down to the coal-track, and caught up his wife in his arms, and held her to his panting bosom. Ropes, ladder, everything—snd they were saved while the corpse of the assassin whirled round and round in tbe subsiding eddies of the black water, aad as that water ran away into the mine, lay, coated with mud, at the feet of those who had saved his innocent victims.
