Among the many natural curiosities of
this county it is not generally known
that there is a Floating island" Up in
the Siskiyous," lying like a pearl in the
great mountain chain, is Squaw lake, a
beautiful sheet Of water now utilized by
a mining company for q reservoir. For
many years the lake has been a favorite
and delightful resort for fishing parties,
and contained nearly in it's center an is
land, comprising aboutan acre of ground,
covered with luxuriant grass and the
growth Of willow and alder. TWAS never
dreamed that the pretty little island was
not part Of terra firma; but when the
bulkhead across the outlet of the lake
damned up its waters, the island rose
slowly until it had been elevated fully
sixteen feet above its original level. It
would be a question for the naturalists,
rather than the geologist, to determine
the age Of this floating island, as it is evil
IDENTIFY made up entirely Of decayed veg
citation. Perhaps at some remote period
the roots Of a tree, uptorn by amountain
storm and drifting ont into the lake,
formed the nucleus from which the island
has grown: but it seems singular that il
should have remained anchored and I'M
changeable in its position. The locality
h much f~requented by pleasure seekers,
who win hereafter notice the increaaed

strangely anxious to leave the country.
They were to be back in five months.
Drusilla-poor trusting fooll-idol-
lied the man and obeyed him. To her
he was 1 knight without reproach.
But cor his conduct to her altered
strangely, and she began to suspect that
all was not right. He grew cold and
cruel, and she was miserable and un-
happy. a..
her troubles and how quickly her hus-
bands conduct had altered. The sister
urged her to leave him and come home.
She was expecting her to do 10 when
there came the news Of her illness and
death, and then Of the mysterious disap-
pearance of the body. From that mo-
ment Drusilla Emerton's sister made up
her mind to fathom the mystery and
bring the guilt home to the murderer.
She refused to accept the explanation of
her sisters death. She believed Blissett
Emerton to be quite capable of carrying
out a carefully matured plot to get rid Of
her. The disappearance Of the body
strengthened her suspicious. She con
Guided at once that he feared the corpse
might afterward be exhumed, and as it
turned out her suspicious were correct.
When, some time afterward, he arrived
in England, she commenced to put her
| plans into execution. She would terrify
his secret from him. Ihave said she was
an actress by profession. She was also
an exact counterpart in height and
| feature of her dead sister.
When Emerton went to live in CHAM
beers she managed by q clever ~artiice to
get a duplicate set Of keys. The place is
open night and day, and there are only
one or two men in residence it is easy to
choose time to step up the stairs un-
noticed. By getting into the enclosure
before II n would not eve be seen by
the gate-porter.
The plan which occurred to the MUIR
dered woman's sister had been put in
execution for the first time that night.
Early in the evening she had let him see
her face among the trees. 1 had been an
u~nsuspected witness of the successes of her
appearance az one from the dead.
All this wal told at the trial in Amer
lea. He was extradited, and I went over
as a witness. But not even on the scat
fold would he tell where reposed the re-
mains Of his victim. The avenging sister
is now a member Of Mr.. IS dramatic
company, and the story, although well
known in the states, is now perhaps told
for the first time in England.
