Lars poked Johnny in the side. “Just listen to that, boy!” Finally it got too much for Bob and one day, taking his courage in both hands, he blurted forth, “Say, Whisk—Mr. Whitney, what’s gone wrong? Is it anything money won’t cure?” He held his breath awaiting the answer. It was a cheeky, nervy thing to do and if his boss did not take it the right way, he would be perfectly justified in sending him back to the horrible punishment of the draughting room. But he need not have worried. Mr. Whitney was too much of a big boy himself and had too much understanding not to realize that the question had been asked because anything that troubled him meant so much to the boy. He dismounted, and followed by two of his people, leaving the rest at some distance, moved with slow and silent steps towards the cave.

Bob was facing the way in which they were going and he was conscious that it was like sliding down a great hill, for the cable above him dipped towards the center. There was little time for thought, however, as the bucket lost no time in gathering headway. At one moment it was almost still, the next it was whistling through the air. “Why not?” returned the other. “It looks like the only way we can go, doesn’t it?” Mark the purple streams that flow! Truth now glimmered upon the mind of Julia, but so faintly, that instead of enlightening, it served only to increase her perplexity..
