luttered he through his clenched teeth
For a mile the path was scarcely over
a foot wide, il was crooked too. The
river swollen to twice its size tumbled
along three hundred feet below. The
fan was to the left and upon the right
the stormy side Of the mountain rose
several hundred feet.
Whiz-zip How the wheel hummed
Now Dick-to the left or you will take
such header as no rider ever took.
Dicks body leaned quickly to the left
as he cleared the big heap OF stones
His body almost hung for an instant
suspended in mid air over the river;
then a sudden leaning 10 the right and
the first dangerous point was passed.
Now then, Dick ahead Of you is the
narowest part of the tran; down il
goes, up and to the right BE careful
boy Pshawi There is no need TO tell
you that The wheel is master now

Dick leaned back as the wheel plung
cd down the steep. The force carried
him up the opposite side and he leaned
forward and to the right, as the ma
chine whizzcd l4ound the turn.
'Phew, / wouldn't like that ride
again for ten thousand dollars ut
tered Dick He had scarcely breathed
while passing the two dangerous points.
The rest OF the trail was comparatively
level and devoid Of danger, and he
soon reached the road leading to Nil
bury, which he easily covered in a few
minutes
The message was delivered at the
telegraph office, and Dick started for
home by the same trail; he didn't take
his wheel with him, however; he left
il in Alilbury and went on homeward
afoot
No, sir; not for all the money in the
world would l do that job over" said
he as he reached the dangerous points
where he discovered that his life had
hanged as by a thread.
It was a long walk but he reached
Middle Fork where he found
the stranger anxiously pacing the floor
Of the store did you do it boy"
Il said / would Your message has

How did you do it, DicbT' asked
one Of the group

darted upstairs.

er.

said the stranger The wallet was
taken from the STE and the money
for Dick was counted out and the wal
let handed to the stranger, who said
to the men about:

worth many thousands Of dollars.
Other parties have the same discovery;
they mean to send a message in the
morning to negotiate with the owners
Of the land My message has gone;
so you see how anxious l was Mr..
Rogers, you have son to be proud OF.
Good night" and the stranger went
10 the hotel
II is not necessary TO say that Dick
Rogers was the hero of Middle Fork
when 1t became known that he had
rode his wheel over the trail to Mi

A Humboldt County Woodsman Has
an Exciting Experience.

Eureka Standard:-James Steel met
with an unusual experience in the
woods recently which he viii not forget
for many a day. He with Harry
Shields and Charles johnson were
brushing out trails about six miles back
of Freshwater Depot They had left
their lunch and an axe behind on the
trail and Steel went back for them.
He picked up the axe and stepped be
hind a dump of bushes for the lunch
basket. He paid no particular atten-
ton to the surroundings as ne whistled
"The Girl I Left Behind Me-" but as
he stepped behind the bushes for the
lunch basket the whistle stopped.
There We're three large brown bears
there. They had just finished the
lunch. which seemed but to sharpen
their appetites for a more substantial
meal Steel comprehended the situa-
ton and at once stepped back regret
ting that he had disturbed the bruins
They did not propose to let him Off so
easily, however There We're three
bears and one man, and the former
hungry Tor gore.
They started in pursuit Of Steel on a
rot, and Steel says a bear trOt is a
"'right smart gait" They followed
him for four hours, when he got out Of
their sight and finally escaped them.
He then thought about getting back to
camp and struck out in the direction
where he thought the camp ought to be.
In the middle Of the afternoon he came

AN ABSURD TAX.

This is a duty Of revenue only, since
there is no tin produced in this coub.
try to which it can furnish "protec.
ton" But it is such a duty rs no one
in framing a revenue tariff would
think of imposing. being a tax on the
raw material of industry
There are consumed in the United
States, in various Industries, about
forty four million pounds Of TIN per
annum, the average price of importa.
ton being about twenty cents a pound
On this our benefcent tariff laws i'm
pose a tax of twenty per cent. Thus
even the struggling infant industry Of
dipping imported black plates in i'm.
ported tin and calling the result Amer.
lean tin plates does not escape the uni.
versal taxation.
OF course the new congress will re-
peal this absurd duty, and if it is done
promptly very little OF the tax will be
collected. The importations of tin in
the last few months have been more
than double the usual quantities, ind
eating that a stock is being laid In In
anticipation of the duty. 1t may be as
sumed that the importations will be
correspondingly light for some months
to come, in the expectation that the
duty will be soon removed. 1t will be
in operation long enough, however, to
display the vagaries Of McKinleyism.

A WONDERFUL TOOL.
Pianing Machine Which is Unique
In It's Capacity.

English Mechanic: A masterpiece in
mechanical construction has been built
in Glasgow, a vertical and horizontal
planning machine, for the use of marine
engineers and others, when ordinary
blaming machines are insufficient This
machine consists OF a heavy bed-plate
Of box section forming the work table
and carrying, when desired, a set Of
compound sides and circular table, the
motions Of which can be made self
acting. For horizontal planning the YER
ical column, which carries the tool
Is driven by two horizontal screws con-
nected by bevel gears; and, In vertical
planning. the tool is traversed up and
down this column by a vertical screw,
driven by beyel gearing below; the
driving nuts which run on these
screws are very long and completely
enyelop the screws, thus having ample
wearing surfaces; the tool saddle Is
balanced by a weight inside tn column
supported by vertical chains, and au-
tomato and hand feeds are provided
both in the case Of the saddle and col
umn.
The driving Is effected through two
sets Of pulleys, the smaller giving the
quick return motion after the cut and
the belts are so arranged that one
belt leaves the FIST pulley before the
other begins to drive, thus reducing
the wear of the belts The change Of
driving from vertical TO horizontal can
be effected instantaneOusly.

Plans are being made for the con-
structfon of a new palace for the car
large enough to contain the imperial
family and the whole court suite, at
Belltskaya Pushta, in the province OF
Grodno The site chosen is in the
midst OF the great fOrset of Pustha
enabling the emperor to enjoy the
greatest retirement combined with the
pleasures of the chase The cost Of
the palace win be about f3,0OO,0O0
The explanation Of this project may be
sought, probably, in ministerial policy
which is growing clearer and stronger
daily in Russia under NJ. White. Hither-
to there has been little or no solidarity
between the ministers Of the various
departments; but on his accession to
the portfolio of finance, NJ. White set
to work to form something which
should resemble a cabinet. He has sue
ceeded in the comparatively snort time
of a year in eliminating all hostile ele-
ments and with the exception of Gen.
Vannolsky, the minister Of war, whose
character is mot one to cause apprehen-
sion, all the others are faithful ad'her-
ents Of NJ. Write. Toward the emperor
NJ. White has adopted an attitude dia-
metrically opposite to that of proceed
ing minister's and by affected bluffness-
almost amounting to coarse neSs-has
contrived to gain the confidence of his
imperial master. TIE emperor already
passes a considerable portion of the
year away from st. Petersburg and
the cabinet conceived the idea OF a
new palace in the forests of Grodno,
in order to have their hands free for
even another month or two. The eX-
pense Of building the palace Is borne
by the finance department, which is
represented as having so much money
that it does not know what to do with
it. The emperor is consequently de
lighted on both sfdes-firstly, at the
brilliant state Of the treasury, and,
secondly, at the present Of a new pa
lace. The stroke is a clever one and
| If it succeeds to the end will forttfy
the already strong position of the first
semblance of a cabinet Russia has seen
for some time-a cabinet whose forma-
ton and growth must be watched with
much interest by political students.
