A TERRIBLE REVENGE.

HE CARRIAGE WAS GOING
4 at a terrific pace. The horses,
~ J unusually excited by the white
wine that had been poured over
their oats, dashed tho ough the air
which whistled past their ears. Their
hoofs resounded loudly on the hard
frozen road. The two carriage Ian
terms shone in the night like the glow
ing eyes Of pe huge prehistoric mon
ster.
The mad coruse in the darkness
had something strange about it, some
thing mysterious, sinister. and all the
more so, perhaps, that it was taking
place in the aimee terrible-the terri.
BILE year when the Germans were in
Alsace.
The carriage, like a vessel in dis
tress on raging sea, osclllated from
left to right and from right to left.
When the vehicle, which had been
flying down the slopes of Ottrot. raced
through the village, passing like an ex.
press tram the houses with their little
low roofa, on which the moon cast a
silvery light, the good women, suddenly
frightenened, made the sign Of the
cross with a trembling Of the knees and
a whispered prayer.
Mon Dieu! What is going to be.
come Of us?'
The children crouched terrified
against the knees of the older persons.
Everywhere there was sense OF de-
preston and evil presentment and-a
characteristic sign Of general terror
the fires in the in the huge, white stoves
were allowed to sink low and 20 out, for
no one thought of keeping them alive.
The fact was the Prussians, for sew
eral weeks past, had been cruelty raw
aging the country.
The flying carriage contained some
German officers who were the bearers of
secret orders to S.
Faster, faster,' they cried. whipping
up the poor horses, which were already
breathing fire and smoke out of their
nostrils. The wretched driver, terrified,
obeyed mechanically.
Tonnerre.' he growled, my horses

WHAT THE BIRDS EAT.

Tribes Into Three Glasses.
Professor e. L. Washburn Of the
State Agricultural college read a pa
per before the State Horticultural go
ciety ON Birds and the Horticultur-
ist," In which, after showing the re-
suit OF many painstaking expert
ments In examining birds stomachs,
etc. he goes on to say:
Summarizing from what has been
done In this line elsewhere and from
personal observation, 1t would seem
that we might classify the commoner
birds In rather vaguely defined
groups, It Is true, under four heads.
We would, however, reserve the
privilege Of condemning any bird
when It became q veritable nuisance
to the fruit grower.
Under Birds Worthy Of Our Pro
lection" would place the robin,
bluebird, all the sparrows except the
English SPARROW, bullocks, oriole
all Aycatchers and virees, swallows,
most Of the woodpeckers, most of
the thrushes, the red tailed hawk,
the red shouldered hawk, Swainson's
hawk or buzzard, marsh hawk, spar
row hawk, long cared owl, short
cared owl, barred owl and the
screech owl.
Under Birds Probably Beneficial"
we might place the following: Black
birds, red shafted flicker, kinghrd
found In parts Of eastern Oregon),
cherry bird or cedar bird, the horned
lark, black winged yellowbird, or
wild canary" China pheasants,
quail, ruftled grouse or native pleas
ant" blue grouse and great horned
owl.
Under Doubtful" would place
the jays, crows, meadow lark, black
headed grosbeak, ground dove"
golden eagle, bald eagle.
And under DECIDEDLY Bad" I
should unhesitatingly place the pur-
pie linnet, or cherry thief" the
woodpecker called the sap sucker, "
Cooper's hawk and sharp Skinned
hawk.
In considering the above arbitrary
divisions it should be borne in mind
that many birds placed in the Doubt
full" column may really deserve
q better place, though the examine
ton of stomachs have not extended
through long enough time to show
this. The eagles, for instance, in To-
calities where their natural food is
abundant are undoubtedly beneficial.
1t is only when this supply is cut
off that they become injurious. The
China pheasant is reported to me by
some as consuming much grain.
feeding on fruit and garden stuff
and even pulling up young pear and
peach pits just sprQuted. Yet the
bulk of testimony seems to point to
the fact that all of our game birds
consume enough injurious insects to
more than balance their bad quail
ties. Gunners in this vicinity assure
me that they find many grasshoppers
in the crop and stomach of Denny
pheasants, and one man mentions
seeing these birds hunting field for
hoppers much after the manner Of
turkeys.
Of the English sparrow l can say
nothing good and trust it may never
get q foothold in Portland or else
where In Oregon. 1t Is noisy, pug
nacious and dirty, and though it has
q penchant for canker worms 1t
drives away other birds which prey
upon pests for which an English
sparrow has no hking.-Portland
Oregonian.

turn AMI apparently came to an abrupt
end. AS matter of fact, however, it
did not terminate, but continued in
steep, terrible slope. On the right waa
dark, mysterious wood. and on the
left deep and dizzy precipice such as
are often seen by mountain roads.
Children were afraid 10 pass it by.
The Gulf of Death, as it was called, had
its legend. The old folks said that it
was within its gloomy depths the mon.
sters lived that ravaged the country at
night. If my calculations are correct
said Lux in low voice, they will be
here in ten minutes.
He tied Barka to tree stem on the
border Of the wood, and strange smile
passed over his lips,
An extraordinary scene might then
have been witnessed. Lux knelt down
in this solitary, accursed, haunted spot
in the night time and turned his face to
heaven. 1t looked like sinner asking
forgivness for bis sins, rather than one
planning an awful deed for the satisfac'
tion Of his rage and hate.
Not sound was to be heard in the
surrounding country. All seemed dead
or asleep. Only murmer Of the win d
in the pines.
Lux placed Ills ear to the ground, as
the Indians DO in the wilderness, and
hearing a faint sound OF hoofs in the
distance striking the hard road, he rails.
ed his head. His face was transigured
AT last 1 shall have my vengence!'
he hissed.
Then he crouched down on his hands
and knees and waited.
A few seconds more and the carriage
with the four German officers would be
upon him.
He uttered a terrible cry Of 'Vive Ia
France! to which Barka replied with a
joyful neigh.
The carriage, which had been approach
ing at tremendous speed. came to sud-
den stop, as if arrested by an irresisti-
Bile force, and remained there standing.
Lux had not moved an inch. He was
not man, but stone WALL
He made last and supreme effort
and raised himself upon his legs. Then
with aterrlfic heaye he pushed over the
dizzy brink horses, carriage and men.
An awful noise rose on the still nj ght
air; sound of crashing, cursing and
horses screaming. Then there was a
silence. heavy, complete, tragic.
The man rose and peered oyer the
edge into the black gulf Of death. He
saw nothing. Then he sprang into his
saddle and disappeared like shadow
into the night.
