he crawled into and did not feel the cold

When Kitty arrived she set down the
bucket and Jim was thankful TO find con-
siderable grub" in it. He ate sparngly
as he could tell how long 1t would have to
last. He knew he would have to stay there
until he was found by somebody. He knew
this would depend great deal on chance,
and regretted very much the exclusive habit
he had prarticed at the camp, as he knew it
would be very unlikely that he would be
missed.
All night long he lay there unable to
sleep and Kitty standing near by ready to
Tepel any trespasser
The next afternoon Kitty got the mail as
she did the day before, and this time the
man thought Ii very strange, but did not
have time to stop and see what was the
matter. He threw out the bag and drove on.
Kitty went past her master and also up to
camp without attracting any more atten-
ton than she did the night before. When
the mall was delivered she hunted another
dinner bucket that belonged To she didn't
care whom, and carried it to Jim. His alb

Another long nights watch followed,

he began TO Ieel pains all over his body.

did not have hoofs for nothing. The first
one that came near was kicked about
fifteen feet and every bone in his body
broken. The others made their supper off
him ami did not trouble Jim any more.
The next day Kitty went for the mailbag.
and this time the driver knew something
must be wrong. He did not know what to
do and was half inclined to not throw out
the bag But he concluded he would to see
what would happen.
Instead of driving away as soon as he

nothing remarkable about that, as most
saloOn-keepers own dogs, but not like
Mack. Most salOon-keepers also keep dogs
for the purpose of soaring off burglars and
for fighting. Mack is good all around in
work Of the professions mentioned, and he
has also some ability as barkeeper.
When Mack first came t. his present
home he was a very small mastiff, but he
has grown to be a monster OF his breed.
He is what would be called a handsome
dog, and still he is more useful than orna-

Tor his masters place Of business. He
liked to meet the men who came there, and
he was soon a favorite with everybody in

training he was put through cannot be told,

the beef may be put over slow FIRE, without
any previous soaking, and allowed to sim

Use \ wooden spoon or potato masher and

the beef is cooking. Add salt as soon as
the water Is put on the beef, as that will

pound Of such beef add one pint Of cold

notably the manzanita, cottonwood. sweet

1t will give some idea of the increase of
Bookkeeping as commercial enterprise il
the figures recently obtained for the Treas
ury Department are considered. California
be 1t said, resembles Greece, the land Of the
bee in classic times. There are at present
about 10000 hives in the State and the Weld
is from 400 to 2000 tons. The cost OF be
ranch Of 400 hives has been thus estimated:
Hives $500, boxes for honey Sl65, wages
and board uf one man for eighteen months
$3.50, hauling S195. packing cases SI65, sun
dries S45. total 5000. From this investment
the receipts are $3.50 for honey. $3.50 from
strained honey and wax, and $1,000 from
new swarms, leaving a profit of $500 Tor
the year.
The growth of the industry is best seen
from comparison OF three different years
widely separated In 1873 there were 16. 600
hives, worth $4,000; In 1879 there were
1900 hives, worth Sill. .415; in 1886 there
were 90, ,S25 hives, worth Sl1S,129.
The great bee counties are Los Angeles
and San Diego, which raise more than all
the others put together. Ont of total of
$4,000 hives assessed for 1889. 1880 were in
Los Angeles County and 14.947 In San Diego
County, The amount OF honey received nj
san francisco III 1881 alone was l,l4S.S0O
pounds, In 1884 the figure rose to 9, 1877 O5O
and in 1889 it was still over million pounds
The bee-keeper has one great advantages
over the average farmer or rancher. No
man ever became a successful farmer by
reading books on agriculture. He has TO
win success by hard toll in the fields and
years of self-denlal and triumphS over "the
stubborn glebe," as well as battles with
mortgages, bad years and short crops. But
bee-keeping is single problem on which
excellent books have been written, and the
thoughtful obServant tempcFament which
comes on man with middle age is rather
favorable than otherwise to success in the
work.
Outside Of Los Angeles and San Diego,
the counties which have yielded the best
results in agriculture are San Bernardinr,
Santa Barbara, Ventura and Fresno.

all the good things in life that are desired
by horses.
Kitty was given every care and soon de-
yeloped into fine animal When she was
about two years old Jim used to let her go
with him for the mail, and she used TO enjoy
the long trot beside the old horse he rode
named Tom.
Tom put IN a good many years working for
Uncle Sam, but at last had to 20 the way of

The BTiXtOn mine Is about eighteen miles
from the stage road at the point where the

stage passes this point on its way from
Tucson to Globe every day at about o'clock
and IN order to get there in good time Jim
and Kitty used TO leave the mine every day
at o'clock
Kitty always liked the work and never
missed a day for several years; she also re-

seemed to think she was the most imp0r-

something new is discovered about their

Mack likes the work, too, and would
rather do 1t than take part in any free fight

no pleasure out of the latter because he
