CHIPS REVENGE.

With an outlaw track. doped horses
and a lot of irresponsible stable boys,
it's pretty hard to say that any one
thing depends on any other one thing,
but it's a pretty safe guess that all
the trouble with the C~oluInbine book
grew out of the throwing down or
Chips. Now Chips was a stable boy,
small, black and utterly devoid of NOR
al or religious convictions. Some pro-
found philosopher has said: Il would
not are to name among my list of
friends the man who needlessly sets
foot upon a worm" That is all right,
but you can add to 1t as an axiom
that you don't want to give any acct
dent insurance on the man who throws
down a stable boy.
1t was only a sort OF prehistoric
connection with this story, but the
fact was that Chips had a claim on
Chalker's gratitude. Chips was a
hanger on In the Waterbury stables,
riding a 'skate," OCCASIONALLY when
| there was no one else who, wanted a
losing mount, and he tipped the mat
ter off to Chalker when the Couple
Grace stables imported a ringer" one
day, with intent to mulct the local
books. Chalker was marking up odds
for the Columbine book, and Chips
| waylaid him with the information that
'Dey done got err painted boss ober In
de Cue-de-gra stalls. Dey brung i'm
down ter swipe things In de Crack-a-
Jack stakes termOrrer."
Chalker was Indifferent, but Chips
insisted.
"Fo Gawd, das' so, Mister Ned" he
declared. "Dey keep him mighty
close blanketed, but 1 seen err skayr
on he off hind pastern, whar he been
kicked larst year at Gravesend. Dey
call i'm Wyandott, but he amt. He
dat Clinker colt er Stanfod's err Use
lrish.'
There was not the remotest chance
that Chips a Irish, and Chalker
knew that stable boys sometimes
were ION" in matters where other peo-
pie were stone blind; so he kept his
eye on the Wyandotte horse and laid
very piLrt NhtlNc ouuS dSdluSt hl1l.
to the end that the Columbine Club
pulled out very handily from the crash
and nearly wrecked the other books
when the Wyandotte horsee ran away
from his field at odds Of 80 to 1.
OF course Chips had no platonic in
terest either in Chalker or the Column
bine book. As a matter Of fact he
should have tipped his suspicious to
his w stable, and let the books take
their chances. But he had an eye to
the main chance, and he wanted TO
get a stand-in with a prosperous book
maker, where inside information has
4 steady market value.
And here was where Chalker made
his mistake. When Chips came around
for a remembrance he found the
booky in a bad humor. 1t was a case
Of benefits forgot" and Chips got
kicked back into the paddock for his
trouble. Wherefore he subsequently
laid for Mr.. Chalker.

Hldeous Animals In Death valley.

Many, many years ago Montesquieu,
the great Frenchphilosopher, emphasized
the influence of climate upon human
nature. The effect of nature itself upon
animal life has been most strikingly re-
vealed by Special Agent III. b. Martin
of the United States land Office, who
has just returned from perilous trip
through the death valley" III Nevada.
His report pictures this weird, unfinish-
ed spot of creation as a region of hor-
rors. Even the fauna are uncanny and
in almost diabolical accord with the in
ferno nature of this vast realm of sand
and salt.
That hideous and loathsome reptile,
the ella monster, fiourishes in this fit
retreat Lizards, rattlesnakes, huge
scorpions and tarantulas and toads, all
abnormally venomous, writhe and hop
across the heated waste, but they are
nothing in comparison to kangaroolike
rats and mice that feed on scorpions.
One of these curious mice is known as
the grasshopper mouse, from his curious
leaping, and his chief delicacy is a
wriggling centiped. The women might

ON RoNcApoR ISLAND.
What Was Found by Party In Search of
Marooned Sailors.

u
Marooned Sailors.
In 1892 the gunboat Partridge was
sent by the commodore to ascertain the
truth or otherwise of statement that
some men were marooned ON Roncador,
a small coral island $500 by 200 feet or
cay in the Caribbean sea- On arriving
at Roncador it was found occupied by
sea birds, especially boobies, in enor
nous number. Some huts were also OBJ
served. On landing and entering the
largest hut the following picture met
the gaze Of the explorers: Half sitting,
half reclining, on high trestle bed, and
partially supported by makeshift
crutch, was something rigid and angular
within moldy cotton shirt and canvas
trousers. Two rusty pannikins were
close at hand and fragments of skeleton
ON the floor. These consisted Of skull,
vertebr@ and some long bones. On the
bed were the bones of a hand, and a
number of land crabs scuttled about. The
floor was covered with sea birds eggs,
and many more were found packed and
sailed in wooden boxes. Some empty
cruet bottles were found near the eggs
and box containing papers which
showed him to be Dutchman. He had
served in the militia
The medical officer was able to de-
termine from an examination of the
skeleton that it belonged to lad under
20 years of age. In another hut was
found the body of an old negro The
story is clear enough. The well built
hut showed that the men had come pre-
pared to stay awhile. The empty boxes
showed that food had been at one time
abundant. Then provisions ran short.
The men subsisted for a time on sea
birds eggs, and water was apparently
plentiful. Men cannot live long on eggs
and brackish water. Scurvy must occur.
This is the secret of the crutch in the
cabin. Disease had crippled before it
killed this young man. This explana-
tion rests entirely ON circumstantial
evidence, but evidence SO complete and
convincing, the reasoning so sound, yet
apparently SO simple, as to make one
