I ? fl r AN 1EXPECTI j BY I. R. AR! Something over forty years ago Gaius Eaton and I became students of a popular school in the State of New York, which he had long wished] to attend, although up to within a month of our entrance we might, it seemed, as reasonably have wished for | seats In Congress. But unexpected circumstances made it possble for| my father to send not- only me but Gaius, whose widowed mother was father's beloved sister. In the unfamiliar city we were com fortably established near the top ot a large, square-built house standing on high ground.' Our room overlokertj a long stretch of the river willen | ?ws past the town, and a wide tract of open country beyond. This view across the river was broken by certain ? tain buildings scattered on . High ground on our side of the river, and by a corresponding bluff-like eminence on the other shore, perhaps a mlle and a hali away. We prepared our own meals, and patronized a convenient little variety, store, owned and managed by an in-' qulsltive old gentleman named Mason, where wc purchased bilkers' goods, milk, fruits, and so forth. ? His only helper was a young man of twenty or thereabouts, who had sleeping rooms on the floor rbove, but boarded with a private family,-ins tant relatives, he said,- with whom he frequently stayed overnight when taking an evening "off:** . They were both friendly to us-Mr. Mason especially so, .after learning that we had come from his native _ county. JEEe" .was^Jwell preserved I ^Wslt^y^ deaf, which did! not prevent him being an attractive, cheery old gentle man. Of course his infirmity obliged him to rely much upon his clerk, George Dow-a bright, wide-awake young man who had been in his em ploy upward of two years. Dow's cordial, pleasant ways at tracted Gaius, with whom he was 60on on intimate terms. As for my self, I liked him In a general way, as one likes all agreeable people, and no more. Gains, noticing what he chose to call my "indifference," Inquired what I had against Dow. I replied, "I can't think of anything I have against him." Still, an indefinable feeling-not ex actly suspicion of him, but rather a sense of inability to estimate bim satisfactorily-was constantly with me when in his presence. Months of our school-days passed uneventfully, nothing varying the mo notony but a street arrest ora runaway Yet we frequently heard of the doings of what was supposed to be an or ganized gang of local roughs, the dally lengthening story of whose petty villainies caused much curbstone dls cussiou and unsparing criticism of the police. These novel experiences did not dis tract our. attention from study, and we advanced satisfactorily, although we sometimes had to burn the mid night oil In order to keep up with our classes. Often on these occasions we ob served across the river a light-mere ly a lamp in somebody's window, ap parently--which continued to shine brilliantly after thc neighboring lights were extinguished. This persistence attracted our attention at the outset, and after a while we curiously looked for the light when darkness came. Sometimes it was missing. "How many lights can you see over there In that vicinity?" asked Gaius one evening. "Eight." said li counting. "I counted eight last evening," he replied, "but a good many times 1 can make only seven." "Oh, well," sajd I. "I don't suppose the people living there are setting up lamps for us to count." "No; but most likely they put their lights, as we and others do, In certain places every night, and so we ought-" He left his remark unfinished and hastily resumed his book, while I be took myself to Mason's store on my customary trip for our next day's bread. I found Mr. Mason, George Dow and two women customers In some excite ment, for the store had lwen robbed the night before-George's night off. Mr. Mason's story was Interrupted and rendered nearly unintelligible by his nervous additions and corrections. Apparently, after a lapse of twelve hours or more since his discovery of the robbery his agitation had not ab uted, although be declared the loss of slight Importance-thirty dollars taken from the till, and jewelry, cigars, to bacco and bakers' goods enough to ranke n total value of one hundred dollars. "I don't care for the money." he repeatedly Insisted. "What makes mc mad, thongh. is their taking advan tage of my J ea ines? and coming In here dnring George's absence-that's meanness! I'dvgive twice Its value ?o see them well set Led where they be long." Gains and I, upon my return with the news, b-caine so absorbed In dis cussing It that what he was to tell mc was forgotten until the following evening, when he (-nilled my ntten )F A SONG. our life are sung, first the lute wis strung, inger's hlghrst art from the depths o' the human heart. loart from that far day, r and life was in its May, he gives bis soul to man, lin hos changed his earlier plan. 1 all Life's spreading plain a n's soul would gain. . what cannot be ; land a drop from the sounding sea, rers of Time were old, ad gave the sun its gold, BS of our lives began, host to sing of the soul of man. prime has gono tho ways of men ; itt are just the same as then. . varied star and clime, .. comes Song on the shores of Time. had realm and state, odes on tho Living walt, in in the min, oice ot song from pain.. unes Kiley, In New England Magazine. i DISCOVERY, MST RO NC. tion to the lights and a diagram be had made, Illustrating their relative positions. ' Kneeling at the window, the sill of which was very high, he said, "This straight, horizontal line represents the level of the window-ledge, and these little circles at different heights above the line and scattered along the paper are the thirteen houses visible* in the daytime on the other side of the river. You see some of the circles contain each a dot Inside; they are the houses where lights are commonly ?cen evenings. "I saw only seven lights when l drew this, and they are so widely separated I think they can all be lo cated by daylight; but now I can see eight lights-the new one is pretty near those' two farthest down-stream. If that proves to be the one we have often seen at midnight, I would like to know Just where lt ls." "Probably it is in the room of some Invalid," said I; "perhaps the house where we saw* that consumptive young man the first time we were across the river. Don't you remem ber the fellow who tried to sell us the fancy pigeons ?" "Yes; and by daylight I can make out the farmhouse. I should not be surprised if it were the same place." . Sticking a pin into the window sash, he took from the stand a strip of pastelward, made a pinhole through one end, and looked through it at the pin and the distant light "That's all right," said he, pulling the stand .under:'the window. Upon tonuoioTtne pastTeboardstrlp perpen dicularly. Then he peeped through the pinhole as If it were a gun-sight, and carefully adjusted it at the right elevation. Turning to me, he said, "Look through it." I did so, and saw that pinhole, angle and light were exactly on the line. "Now let it remain there till day light, and we'll see then what house we're aiming at," said ho. "Say, Elbert," called Gaius, early next morning, "have you been med dling With this?" "Why, no, of course not!" I replied, with n touch of indignation. "What's the matter?" "It doesn't point at any house this morning." he said. "What does it point nt?" I asked. "Why, there's nothing in range ex cept that old pile of rubbish on the farther bank of the river! There Isn't much to be seen but part of a roof, and that seems to l>e flat on the ground. One thing is certain, any how; thc light Is not at the house where we saw the sick man." I went down-stairs and returned with a field-glass borrowed of a board er. It disclosed very little, and so 1 said, "When wc can get the time, Gay, let's go over there and inspect the premises; my curiosity is roused about this business." "I'll go," Gaius replied. "Let's say Saturday afternoon! If it does not rain." We saw the light ns usual on Thurs day and Friday evenings, and Satur day afternoon found us early on the opposite side of the river, which we reached In a rowl>oat. With the sluggish current we mored slowly toward a point opposite tin rubbish heap. There we pulled ashore in shallow water. The rubbish-heap appeared to be the ruins of n house, little of which re mained except the roof, which, upon the collapse ol the supporting tim bers, had fallen and split apart. One half stood on edge on the cellar bot tom, the other half lodged on the first and on the wall in such a manner as to enclose and re-roof about a third of the cellar. There was no entrance discoverable, no holes through which anything ex cept Impenetrable gloom could be dis tinguished, and nothing In surround ings on the outside mass of rubbish broken boards, rotten straw, sawdust and so forth-to indicate the presence of human kind since it became a ruin. "I'm bound to look Inside before 1 leave," I said. "That's right," replied Gaius. "Bul they say 'there's a better way to get into a Jug than by cracking it.' Let's take a look down the bank," he con tinued, going to the corner of the foundation and peeping down the deep slope to the water's edge some twenty feet below. "Look there! Sec those chicken bones!" he cried. Sure enough, there were many bones on the bank, besides other offal in the water's edge. "Somebody boards pretty near here," said L "Those things must have been thrown out of . :e cellar." But we could not examine on that side, for the bank broke away abruptly, so near the foundation that- pnssage round it wo? Impossible. Returning, Gaius said, "I nm going Into the open cellar again to look under the rtibblsh. Help metaketbls olddoor around the other side to climb out on." Stooping, he raised one end of the floor from the ground, where lt. han been lying flat. As he raised lt 1 caught sight of a large hole In thc ground underneath. "Eureka!" I shouted, and togetner we threw the door over, so as to ex pose an entrance through the wall big enough to admit a man. Without a thought of meeting any occupants, we entered immediately. The little light admitted through the opening enabled us to discern ti lamp on a small shelf, and this when light ed, disclosed a room about ten by thirty feet In area and a little higher than our heads. On one side were several bunks filled with straw, against the other was a long bench, with brackets for lamps above. Upon the bench and ground were boxes and bags, some j of which we examined, finding masks, dark lanterns, and everything else belonging to burglars' outfits, stolen goods, in great quantity and variety, including a .number of boxes of Mr. Mason's cigars-a private brand readily recog nized-and numerous specimens of counterfeit coins and the dies with which they were made. We said little until our amazement had in a measure abated, when 1 broke out with, "What do you think, Gay?" "I" think It will show good judg ment if we move out of this vicinity before anybody drops In," he said; and with.his opionin I readily agreed. Very carefully we replaced every thing as found, went at once to police headquarters, related our experiences, and readily secured the co-operation of tlie authorities in at plan to capture the gang that very evening. Tho chief proposed that if the usual light was observed, we should present our selves before him at ll p. m., and guide a posse to the den. This arranged, we went home, stopping at Mason's store by the way to inform our friends of what was in the wind. Mr. Mason had gone to supper, and George was so busy with customers there was no opportu nity to tell him of our discoveries, so on our return to fulfil our . appoint ment WP called again. This time we found Mr. Mason, who showed an excited interest in our story; but George was absent. It was his night off. Mr. Mason did not expect his re turn before the next morning's open ing hour. A sergeant and four men crossed the river under the guidance of Gains at the hour agreed anon, and went down its opposite bank to a designated point, while another policeman accompanied me in a row boat on the route taken by Gains and myself in the afternoon. At the ruin, dimly distinguished in the darkness, we eagerly awaited tile signal announcing the arrival of our party, lt soon appeared-merely a m?tchllglit, to which we replied by another. Then we took n position opposite the window, a few feet from the bank, and the men above stealth ily lifted the old door. One after an ^ther.;JLhe,.sergeant-first, .ttoeyAsllppeiL _ rapidly down Into fire cellar. It was very nearly a complete sur prise, for three of the scamps were taken in their bunks. The fourth, dexterously rinding the officers, leaped nimbly upon a bench, thence to the window, and like a shot went through it feet foremost, down the bank Into the water. There he stuck in the mud! My companion, the policeman, clapped the handcuffs on bim In the daikness, collared him and pulled him ashore. With the remark, "Now we'll see what we've gol," he opened his lantern and turned its light on his mud-bedragged prisoner. I might have been knocked down with n feather! It was George Dow! He did not say a word; neither did I, and truly, I think I could not.have spoken bad I tried. The sudden realization of his du plicity, and black rascality simply stunned me, and Gaius was even more astounded, more deeply shocked than myself, by the unexpected ex posure of his friend's villainy. He said to me later, "Your suspi cions of George were correct, aftei all." "No," I replied, "that would? be claiming too much. I did not suspect 'him, I simply did not know what to think of bim. Now I know, but I can not tell now any better than before, the reason of my antipathy." Of the trial aud conviction of the .captured gang, it is unnecessary to speak. The papers and people praised Gaius and nie highly, and foolishly, we thought, for we knew that our dis covery of tlie gang's haunt was due to "fool luck," ns (Jains tersely stated it-it was the surprising outcome of a childish curiosity, and not gained :by any particular shrewdness oil our pnrt. But of this we Bald little, ex cept to Mr. Mason, whose extrava gant praise we vainly tried to modify. On the evening of our departure for home at the end of the school year, we called at his store to say good by. As usual at that hour he was verj* busy, and consequently said little, but slinking hands with each and wishing us a pleasant .lourney, he handed me a sealed envelope, bear ing the Inscription, "Messrs. Croft and Eaton-to be read after reaching your destination." We refrained from opening it until we reached home, and then Its con tents surprised us greatly. This is what we read: P., N. T., Nov. 5, 1885. Messrs. Croft and Eaton. My Young Friends: At the time my store was robbed I said I would give twice the value of the property taken to see the rascals who took it placed where they should be. Per haps you heard me say so.

The bed of rock salt, which is, thirty feet In thickness, reaches to a depth of 108? feet, making a total depth of 2015 feet. The yield pumped from this well amounts to from 2000 to 2400. bar rels of brine in twenty-four hours. . The aeeompanjing diagrams and photographs represent the modern state of thc art.

The brine being ad mitted to the grainers, the steam ls SALT PACKERS AT WORK turned on, the liquor scou acquires a high temperature, and rapid evapora tion takes place. To assist the precipi tation of the grains of salt, the surface of the brine ls agitated at frequent in tervals by means of a series of paddles which are. operated by a lever at the end of the grainer. The salt accumu lates at the bottom, until In the course of twenty-four hours there will be a layer from six to eight inches deep. The salt is lifted from the grainer by means of long-handled, perforated shovels, and ls deposited on the run away. As soon as lt is thoroughly drained, lt ls shoveled into carts, run out over the storage bin, and dumped. The plant under consideration con sists of five wells, three cisterns each eighteen feet wide by 100 feet long and eight feet deep, and six settlers twelve feet wide, 175 feet long, and eight feet deep, capable of holding about 24,000 barrels. When these cis terns and settlers are all full.they hold enough brine to manufacture over 10, 000 barrels of salt. Part of the salt manufactured in this plant Is made by' the vacuum-pan pro cess.. In operating the plant the pans are first filled by gravity, after which the gravity supply pipe is closed, and the valve In the pipe coniiectlug with the settlers Is opcued, the brine'being drawn luto the paus by the vacuum therein, as the evaporation proceeds.

After the salt has remained in these bins for a period of sixteen to eighteen heursi lt Is drawn off into carts, wheel- ' ed to the storage bins and dumped. It Is customary to use the pans for not longer than twelve consecutive boura, at the,end of which period they are emptied, bolled out with fresh water, and cleaned. One of the pans ls run during the day and the other during tho night, each pan making In a twelve hour run from COO to 700 barrels of salt, the combined production being from 1200 to 1400 barrels a day.

As these rooms are from sixteen to twenty feet deep the salt becomes tightly packed, and has to be worked loose by packers with picks, shovels, grubhoes, etc., who proceed to quarry, break up and pack the salt into barrels. With the coarser grades of salt made in the grainers this is not a difficult matter, but the liner grained, vacuum-pan salt becomes compact and very hard, and the packer IN THE STORAGE ROOMS. soon finds himself confronted by a wall of salt twenty feet In height and as white, If not as hard, as marble.
