In the east, as many had, to whom they
could go for support. If they had
they had no money to go with, neither
could they stay where they were with
nothing to live upon.
But that was not all. The capitalist,
to whom they were to have made a
final payn emit this autumn, and then
prove up their land, would have them
in his power. He might foreclose, and
they would not only be left penniless
but would lose their farm and what
money they had already paid. Look
which way they might, there was no
ray of light or hope.

A curious tale is told by passenger
just arrived at Victoria, b. G., from
Alaska on the steamer City Of Topeka
of the discovery made by one of their
number, Seattle man named Bren
nan, on Prince of Wales island.
Brennan went north some time age
with small sloop laden with a mis-
cellaneous cargo, on which he rea'
lized good profit, trading among the
natives Of the northern coast. 1t was

one Of the least accessible villages of

rare action Of the peculiar soil in
which her burial place was made, was
not turned into dust, but into solid
stone.
Years later the rude grave was un.
covered by chance, and the petrifed
body was found. The natives hailed
it as an omen of good, and carefully
exhuming it enthroned it in place Of
honor in the village, the idol so res.
cued being ever since more honored
than the oldest totem.

Cane Horn was rounded for the first
time In 1916 By q Dutch expedition,
which had set out from Amsterdam IN

dracht Tor Unity. to find new west
ern route 20 the East Indies, and so 10
evade the ordinance Of the states gem
eral prohibiting all Dutch ships not
engaged in the service Of the Dutch
East India company from passing by
the cape Of Good Hope to the eastward,
or through the straits Of Magellan to
the westward, says writer in McMll-
lan's Magazine. The HORNE was
burned at the entrance TO the straits OF
MAGELLAN, and some of her timbers
we're found on the spot half century
later by Sir John Marlborough, whom
Charles II. sent TO Patagonia for gold.
The other vessel pushed on, doubled
and named the Horn after the lost
ship (Which had also received its name
from the place of that name in Hol-
land, of which one of the principals in
the undertaking was native), dis
covered and named latter the Amster-
dam merchant who conceived the ideah
the straits Of lie Marie, and finally
reached the Pacific.
Seventeen years earlier another
Dutchman, Dirck Gerritz, in vessel Of
only One hundred and fifty tons bur-
den, which formed part OF the East
India squadron OF Simon OF COrdes,
had been driven by bad weather
from the western entrance OF
the straits of Magellan as far
south as latitude 60 degrees, and dis
covered the islands now known as the
South Shetlands. TO him it was
a coast resembling that Of Norway,
mountainous and covered with snow.
His statement was regarded as apOC-
rhpyal until Mr.. William Blyth, in the
year 1919, rediscovered the islands
while on voyage from Montevideo to
Valparaiso
The Dutch navigator De Bonneville
was credited with having, even before
GerritE, discovered a Terra Australis
to the south Of Africa, but we know
from Pigafctta, the biographer Of
Magellan, that the phrase "Antactic
pole" was a very loose one, and was
taken to mean the southern hemi-
sphere, which is vastly different mat
ter. Moreover, De bonneville brought
home to France with him the son Of
the sovereign of his new-found land,
which is of itself sufficient to prove
that he did not penetrate far south.
But his story and the signs of his
dusky captive set the hearts of his
countrymen beating with wild hopes
for over a century and a half Boston

Things were becoming somewhat
dry. and pastures as well MS crops were
beginning 10 suffer, when there was
noticed, one morning, soft south
wind, which Mr.. Carter had been ac-
customed in Ohio to regard as snre
indication of rain. They were fairly
| jubilant at the prospect. One good
rsin would insure the crop. Gradually
and steadily the wind increased both
in velocity and temperature, il was
something new No RANT And still IL
blew stronger and hotter and without
cessation. Everything was being drieE
up; but still IL blew strong and steady
and straight from the south. IL must
surely stop when the sun goes down;
/ but what can repair the damage
already done? People finally went to
bed; but there was little sleep that
night for the settlers. The wind
still blew relentlessly and without dis
elimination. Everything in its course
was doomed.
The next morning revealed a scene Of
desolation not easily described. All
night long the burning wind had con-
tinued its work of destruction. The
leaves of the corn instead of glistening
in the sun were brown, and ratified
against their stalks as If dried in a
kiln. The injury done to the pastures,
though less obvious. was no less com
plete. Hungry cattle were already
circling around the parched field in
search of fresh feed, and finding none.
Every hour revealed some new evil
dence of the completeness of the ruin
wrought. Everything in the garden
was totally destroyed. The little trees,
which had been planted the first sum
mer, were brown as in autumn. Set
tiers who had been there long enough
to have small fruit trees beginning to
bear found the apples half baked on
the trees. Nowhere could there be
found any sign of vegetable life. In
every direction the outlook was hope
less. Plainly there was nothing for
man or beast to SrbsiSt upon the rest
of the summer or the coming winter.
What to do was the one engrossing
question, and for it there was no an
swer. Stock must be disposed of at
once, but where were the buyers? The
horses-could it not be that such a
team could be given away? Yet no
one could take them. Must they be
shot to keep them from starving? But
how could the farm ever be worked
without them? Such were the ques-
tions that were forced upon the Carter
household at every turn. But the chief
question, after all, was what to do
with themselves They had no friends

vested his money and all that resulted
from the sale of his farming nipple
ments and household goods in a quar-"
ter-section Of land in western Nebras-
ka, giving, as everybody did, a mort
gage on the farm for the balance
which he was unable to pay down.
Both he and his wife had great an
tipathy to giving a mortgage, but
there was no other way; and then it
was not so large but that in three
years they could pay it off-perhaps in
two, II they should have extra good
crops At all events, they would be as
economical in every way as possible
and pay it off at the earliest practic-
able day.
There was small house on their
place when they went there, new, and
built purposely for the buyer; two
rooms and a kitchen, with a loft in
which a person could sleep, though
under the middle of the roof only
could one stand upright. But they re-
garded 1t as only temporary affair,
submitting cheerfully to their cramped
quarters, but never losing sight of the
plan TO build themselves a home as
soon as there was money enough to
pay off the hateful mortgage.
BY the third year their clothing, not
too abundant when they came, began
70 need replenishing in every direction.
Some things had to be bought for
Harry and John, now thirteen and ten
years old, and growing, as their mother
used TO say, Sin genuine western fash
lon" Bnt the family were careful in
their OUTLAWS, and this summers crop
would give them at least the satisfac-
tson OF an unencumbered homestead.
AS early in the spring as possible he
set to work to get the ground in readi-
ness and put in the seed. He had
learned by this time how to do things
on large scale. He as well as his
neighbors had an unusual amount of
ground planted in corn; for it had
been too dry inthe early spring for oats,
90 that the ground intended for that
cropwas taken for corn. Day after day
they had gone back and forth through
the long field until hundred acres
were planted. .".-.

A report has been received in Paris
OF an extraordinary encounter between

the Spanish and Portuguese frontier.
The incident occurred between MOrave.
and Canaveral, close to the Portuguese
frontier. The train was traversing a
long plain, similar to hundreds OF
others which are used as grazing land
in Spain, when the driver noticed a
number of bulls on the track some dis.
lance ahead. He did not sIacken speed.
but blew the whistle repeatedly, with
the result that the herd cleared out Of
the way, with the exception of one.
which suddenly lowered it's head and.
with fierce below, made straight for
the engine. The result was disastrous
for the bull. The animal was com.
pletely cut to pieces, and masses
OF quivering flesh chung to the
wheel and machinery, so much
so that further progress was i'm.
possible, until the engine had been
cleaned. The officials had decided te
do so, when, without moments warn.
ing, the remainder of the herd. in.

blood, dashed down upon them. There
was precipitated rush for the nearest
compartments, and the last man had

attacked the carriages and renewed the
assault again and again, to the con.
sternation of the passengers RI,
