CHAPTER III.
TWO NOTABLE ARRIVALS.

During the week preceding the arrival
of the sisters the settlement was in fe-
yer of excitement. All the trouble
over the letter had been apparently lost
sight of in the pleasure of the anticipated
visit. The momentous event was dis
cussed everywhere. Jack found himself
compelled to answer endless inquiries
about the two young ladies-all of them
tending to show less of the ordinary in
quisitiveness than of burning desire to
individually and collectively testify to
Redrock's appreciation of the compli-
ment. Finally the excitement reached
a climax when the major one evening
stopped game in the "parlors," right
i'll the middle, and, clearing his throat,
addressed Browning, who had just en-
tered:
''Mister Browning and gentlemen" he
said, sit hez been taken as the sense of
the male poperlashun of this settlement,
as our numbers is shortly about to be in
creased by the two elegant young ladies
who is now on their ways here, that we
should show our 'preciashun of the event
by quittin' work at the mines for twenty
four hours. All in favor O that say
aye"
A deep and sonorous "aye" came from
all sides of the room. and Jacks vigor-
Gus exclamation of protest passed un-
needed.
''The ayes hev it, yer see, Mr.. Brown
ing" said the major, with smile "We
want to do tliis thing up in our own way,
i'll style to refeck credit on the settle
ment. And, moreover, we hopes to have
you and Mr.. Lispenard with us to help
us out"
There was nothing for it but to sub
NIT. The next few days it seemed as
though the Springs had gone crazy.
Something deeply mysterious was going
on in the ''parlors," to which only the
major, Sim and a especial committee"
were now admitted. 1t was clear that
something quite unusual was about to
happen.

'Now, Browning, yer friend has about
hit Crenshaw's size jest right" said the
major, shrewdly. IA man who'd rob
my letter boxes d lie about his own
father, let alone about q chap who had
found him out as you did. But it's get
tin late, an if the boys don't objec', 1
guess I'll call the game and get ter my
bunk"
A half hour later Redrock was asleep.
The thin wedge of the crescent moon
crept over the northern mountain and
looked across into the quiet valley, like
a sentinel in the sky.

How to Bind Magazines.

One good way to bind a file of maga-
zines cheaply is to punch three holes
near the back of each magazine, and
pass strong cord through the holes, tie
ing tightly with the regular binders
knot. The edges may be trimmed under
a printers paper cutter, or even with a
sharp knife. OF course, a bookbinder
can do better job. Some people, by
the way, do not know that bookbinder
will bind volume of magazines strong
ly and neatly in library sheep" for
twenty-five cents. The owner can letter
the volume with pen, and it is quite as
serviceable as if it were more expensive

Careful investigations show that theme
is deadly poison when administered to
animals. Seven and half grains will
kill cat in a few moments. Twelve
grains have been known to produce
serious results in human beings; twenty
grains would be almost or quite fatal.
1t is not so fatal in small doses as arsenic
or strychnine, and most people are
habituated to its use in much the same
way that the opium eater takes his dead
ly drug with safety. H. Kellogg,

the cause of the strange communication;
but all agreed that one good thing seemed
likely to come out of it at all events:
Redrock was to have two charming visit

the settlement, which had never before
had such an experience, did not rise no.
