The fact Of the matter was. Judge

The fact of the matter was, Judge
Eldridge had higher aspirations for his
daughters future and intended soon
to take her to Washington and New
York. His objections to young Thurber
were, in the main, those he had first
named, but he was glad to have the
others.
John Thurber was much disappointed,
but he did not give up hope Immediate
w. That night he conceived a bold
project, which, if he could carry out
successfully, would at one stroke dis
perse three of the four objections
raised by the Judge.
lie tCO5tld himself attempt The capture
Of Hank FirestOne!
If he could do this he would win
fame. would be able to hurl back the
charge of cOwardice and would also be
able to show that he had no personal
sympathy with the moonshiners.
The next morning Thurber learned
that Judge Eldridge had left town to
be gone three or four days, so he
thought he could not choose better
time than the present for his task, and
might be able to surprise the Judge on
his return.
John Thurber was q young. athletic
giant and, although called coward
by Judge Eldridge, was an utter
stranger to fear. He proposed, if a
capture were possible, to have all the
credit himself, and decided to make
the attempt quite alone.
Disguised as a countryman, he Wis
tied the haunts of the moonshiners and
in day or two had learned something
of the movements of Hank Firestone
Tie became aware that the redoubtable
Hank was likely to ride alone in a GER
tain direction on the evening of the
third day of his adventurous search.
1t was a lonely mountain road along
which Firestone would pass. and at
one point he would be six miles from
his friends at either end. UnfoTtu-
natelv the night was rendered bright
by the light of full moon; but that
made no difference to John Thurber
He knew il was risky business and
that his chances of escaping with his
life were no better than his chance of
capturing Hank-perhaps simmer;
but that made no difference. either
John Thurber was one of those stub
born and persistent men who, once
having resolved on a certain course of
action, know no ''let-up' until they
accomplish their purpose or die in
their tracks.
So early in the evening he was in
hiding. The very loneliness of the
place and the wildness of the sur
rounding country, rendered weird and
solemn by the bewitching moonlight,
was enough to unnerve most men.
But John Thurber stood his ground.

USES OF FORESTS.
Why Trees Are Valuable Apart From TIN
Question of Timber Supply.

Why Trees Are Valuable Apart From the
Question of Timber Supply.
Some time back the world was of
opinion that trees were of value merely
as supplies of timber, and that where
building materials could be easily i'm
ported a country might, without any
disadvantage, be laid entirely bare.
To be sure, a few far-seeing individuals,
such as Bernard Palissy, were aware
Of the influence of woodlands as regu-
lators of climate. Similar views were
taken in antiquity by Critias. who
spoke vaguely of the sickness of the
country in consequence of the defor-
estation.'' and in 1910 by Fernando
Colon, who declared that the rains in
Madeira, the Azores, and the Canaries,
had become rarer since the trees had
been cut down. But, in spite of these
warnings, the process of clearing
was carried on in most countries with
reckless haste.
This havoc was not arrested until its
consequences were pointed out by
Humboldt, Boussingault and Becque-
rel, and by a still more authoritative
teacher, experience, who on this occa-
sion seems to have charged unusually
high school fees. One of the most i'm
portant effects of woods upon climate
is that they promote rain. The theory
of this process is not perfectly under
stood, but the facts themselves are
matters of experience. There are dis
tricts on the continent where the chief
rivers have decreased notably in vol
ume since the clearing of the districts
about their sources. We have seen a
small stream, a tributary of the Oder,
which, within the memory of living
persons, turned in its course two or
three corn mills. At the time of our
visit it was dry all the summer months,
save Immediately after thunder
storm. In many districts of Southern
France the destruction of the forests
has caused much more striking mis-
9hief.
The rain, instead of falling as here
tofore in moderate showers, now comes
in violent gushes, with long periods of
drought between. As the natural con-
sequence. the grasses and other low
| growing plants perish, their roots

has been going on in Spain, Italy.
Greece. Algeria, Morocco, and, ia
short. all around the Mediterranean.
Countries which were once the grana-
ries of the world. and which supported
. numerous and thriving population.

are now little better than deserts. NoR
has this mischief been confined to Eu-
rope. The vegetable wealth of South
Africa, when it first became known to
Europeans, was remarkable.
The Cape was the source Of numbers
of our finest greenhouse plants. But
now vast tracts have been rendered so
desOlate that troop of the Colonial
cavalry on the march actually gave
three cheers at the sight of a tree.
Even in the United States, once re-
garded as eminently the land of for
ests, many regions have lost, first their
vegetation and then their soil, in conse-
quence of tree telling. It may, perhaps,
here be objected that, fully admitting all
these unfavorable changes, they may
possibly have been produced by I'M
known causes, and would have oc-
CURED all the same if the woodlands
had not heen interfered with. This
plea can e4eily be refuted. In many of
the countries above mentioned replant-
ing has been undertaken on large
scale by individuals. by communities
and by Governments, and with the
most decisive results.
Wherever such attempts have been
made the climate becomes less ex-
treme. the rainfall more uniformly
distributed and public health is inn
proved. Such beneficial changes have
been distinctly recognized in North
western India, where fertility is grad
ually returning to the deserts. In
France, within about twenty years,
250, 900 acres of mountain lands and
nearly the same extent of sandy coast
lands have been replanted-of course
at great expense, bnt with the most
satisfactory results. In America, also,
replanting is being vigorously carried
on. An eminenC agricultural authori-
ty in the United States has given it as
his opinion that if one-fourth of a cOun-
try is left covered with trees, three
fourths will yield better return in the
shape of crops than it would if stripped
bare. Scientific Meas.

FLED IN MALE ATTIRE
Experience OF Two Young English won
en- ConNarta in Rormondom.

A1pSEASAco OF Two Young EnERt8h NeBTm@
en- Converts in MormondOm.
A woman about twenty years old was
accosted by policeman in the PennsyE
vania depot at Jersey City the other after
noon because she appeared to be in men,
tai distress To New York Tribune re-
porter she told the following story:
Her name was Eleanor PASTOR and she
had just arrived from Salt Lake City
About month ago, she, in company with
seventeen other converts who had been
secured in Cornwall, Eng, were taken to
Salt Lake City by Elder Bascom. Bascom
already had three wives. the principal OF
whom was one named Hannah, a gray
haired woman. When the elder announce
his intention of taking TO Miss Pastor and
Miss Clegg, her companion, Hannah be-
came Jealous and angry. Both the con.
verts objected to remaining in the
elders household and one night they
tied together some clothing and low
cred themselves from a window of the
house. They were discovered in an alley
near the tabernacle by Elder Junius T.
Wells, a Mormon, who, Miss Pastor SAYS,
sides with the Government. He took the
two women to a stable'and provided them
each with suit of male attire, in order to
facilitate their escape from the city. On
the following morning he took them to the
railroad station and put them on the train.
While they were standing on the plat
form Elder Bascom came up and asked Ell
der Wells if he had seen any thing of the
two missing women, not recognizing them
in their new garb. On the train they re-
lated their story to the women passengers
who provided them with suitable clothing,
while the gentlemen made up a purse for
them. at Omaha Miss CleCg left the train
with lady who had promised her situa-
ton. Miss Pastor is of bright intellect
and says she had no idea until she reached
Salt Lake City that Bascom intended to
marry her.

about Smithville, and only one man Of
any account had ever been known to
speak harshly Of the notorious moon
sinner. That man was Judge Eldridge.
Of course, when he was on the judicial
bench, 1t became him as the official
interpreter of law and order to resent
and deprecate the lawless practice of
Firestone and his crew. But it was
not only in public that he expressed
his ill-will toward the mOonshiners.
Long after his retirement from public
duties he still cherished strong hatred
for Firestone and his followers, and
bad actually offered to pay thousand
dollars to any man or men who would
secure Hank Firestone's arrest
Now there were two other persons
in Smithville whom it will interest as
to know. One was very beautiful
young lady-an adopted child of Judge
Eldridge' s-known rs Miss Sadie Eld-
ridge the other a rising young law
yer Of Smithville. John Thurber, who
was known to be a very warm admircr
of the aforesaid Miss Sadie.
These two young people were very
well satisfied with each other, but the
Judge most decidedly objected to
young lawyer Thurber as prospective
husband for the adopted daughter
whom he thought. indeed, too good
for the best man in Kentucky.
SO when, one fine morning, John
Thurber asked the Judge, in blunt
and straightforward manner. if he
knew of any reasons why he. Thurber,
should not marry Miss Sadie at an
early date, the Judge replied with a
great, big YESi
Eyes, John Thurber, there are seve-
raj reasons. any one of which is suffi-
cient in itself First of all you are not
wealthy, neither are you famous in
any way. Secondly, / have reason to
believe you are coward, and none
but the brave deserve the fair. Lastly,
though by no means least, you have in
manner allied yourself with the
moonshiners, and that fact alone would
forever bar you from marrying any
one, for whom l care, with my consent
No, sir; l most distinctly refuse any
encouragement to you in this matter. "
This reply Of Judge Eldridge's needs
some little explanation. What he said
in regard to John Thurber's wealth
and fame (or lack of both) was true
enough. His remark in regard to the
young lawyer lack of bravery referred
to the fact that John had refused to en-
list In the Confederate army. and
the Judge insisted always that he
joined the North because he saw
it was going to be the win
ming side. 1T should be remembered
that the events recorded in this story
took place year or two after the close
of the warl. Young Thurber's con-
nectiOns with the moOnshiners was
merely of a professional character. He
had defended one of their number
when arrested and his tact and elo-
quence as a lawyer had gotten his eli
ent off scot-free. The Judge, with his
old dislike for the mOOnshiners so often
and loudly expressed, had never over
looked this glaring fault in young
Thurber.
