From the description given OF the de-
ceased the friends became convinced that
the alleged suicide was none other than
Padlewski; and keeping their knowledge OF
the dead mans identity a profound secret,
they made on effort to obtain from the
coroner ths official documents found on his
body.
In this they were unsuccessful. for some
unknown psrson had rifled Padlewsk's pock-
cts of the important papers taken by him
from Silverstoff's bureau at Paris, nothing
OF any consequence having reached the
coroner's hands. On further investigation
it was found that the record OF the inquest
relating to the suicide" had also been
purloined. This naturally gives rise 10 the
superstition that Padlewski's death was not
the work OF his own hand. but that be was
murdered by one or more Russian or
French spies, who had Swallowed his foot

LUCK IN THE MINES.
The Joke That Did Not Have the Sequel
Which Waa Intended.

! Not many miles from Shasta City, in
California, is a gulch of which a
strange story is told. 1t is deep ra-
vine, with rocks showing Ill the way
up the sides. Gold in paying quanti-
ties has been found along the stream,
but it seemed to disappear few feet
from the channel. One day, says the
Youths Companion, while gang OF
men were toiling in the stream, a
stranger, evidently ignorant of min
ing, came along and leaned on his
ragged elbows to watch the results of
their la Dor.
The miner near him took out FIVE
dollar nugget, and anxiety overcame
the ignorant stranger.
HSay," he asked. where can I go to
diggin' to find it like that?"'
The hardy miner stopped his work,
and giving the wink to all the boys so
that the joke should not be lost, pointed
up to the barren rocks where no gold
had ever been found.
you see that rough-lookin' place?"
Yes" said the new hand.
ven, thaf IL is rlch. JeS you stake
out claim an go to work, an when
we finish here We'll come up, too"
The new hand thanked the miner,
and the boys all grinned their appre-
citation of the joke. That afternoon a
solitary figure was seen picking on the
hillside, and every time the miners
looked up they roared with laughter.
But the next day the new miner
struck a pocket. and took out several
thousands of dollars in gold. Then he
came and thanked the miner who had
sent him up there, and went down into
the valley and bought farm, while
the other miners dotted that same
rocky hillside for days without finding
a pocket. They agreed that it was a
joke, but not exactly of the kind they
had intended.

BOB LOST HIS GEESE.
Gow an. Alligator Occupied His Spar.
Time During tho Summer.

Eow an. Alligator Occupied His Spare
Time During tho Summer.
Six or eight years ago Bob Vorus
started goose farm on his mill pond.
He knew the value of feathers, and
thought the people would appreciate
the opportunity of obtaining them
near home for making pillows and beds.
His big mill pond was such a fine place
for them to swim and live and raise in.
So he got up FIVE or six hundred pairs
of geese, and put them on his pond.
They were in their glory, and the
water was dotted from morning till
night as they gracefully glided along
over the placid eypanse of the pond.
Their nests were built in the rushes
along its sides, and their melodious
voices reverberated along its banks
from end to end. But they did not in
crease according to Bob's notion-their
numbers were diminishing perceptibly.
A dead one could be seen occasionally
drifting along the edge of the border
ing rushes. At first Bob thought it
might be minks, otters, skunks, pos
sums, or what not that were destroy
ing them, but soon found out that it
was alligators, for he actually saw one
day one of the ugly reptiles catch
goose and pull it under the water.
Partly-eaten geese would sometimes be
found. In the course of few months
Bob had the same big pond of water,
but not single goose.
Bob hates an alligator, and he and
his ten boys have baep occupying the
dull summer months in killing them.
They bring into town two or three
every week for the children to get
frightened at. The other day they
brought up the biggest one yet. 1t
measured nine feet and half in
length and weighed somewhat under
four hundred pounds. 1t was forty
seven years old by the rings on it's tail.
1t had already begun to stow away pine
knots for the winters supply. Itsap-
petite seemed not to be confined to
geese and light wood knots, for an au-
topsy discovered in its capacious cold
storage reservoir pair of brogans and
pipe.

The Chippewa indians say that the

overtakes them they seek shelter under
its branches Strange to say there ap-
pears to be some foundation for their
curious belief. The writer cannot re-
member ever having seen q beech tree

most of their lives in the woods agree
with the Indians: but no one seems able
to give any reason why this tree should

\ well was to be cleaned, but the

the quality of the air at the bottom
He. let down lighted candle and when
1t was about six feet from the bottom it
went ont as suddenly as if Whit of
wind had struck it.
That told the man all he needed to
know. The well was full of poisonous
gas. He took small umbrella. tied a
string 10 the handle and lowered it
open into the well. Then he drew it
Up, carried it few feet from the well
and upset it. This operation he re-
peated twenty or thirty times, with
the bystanderS, who are never absent
or such occasions, all laughing at him.
After this he let down another can

tom. Before going down to his work
he explained 20 those who had been
making fun of him that the gas in the
well was carbonic acid gas. which is
heavier than air, and therefore could
be drawn up in an umbrella as if it had
