It appeared and re- appeared and vanished again as the Hume wound in and out of sight, but lt always came nearer. The little girl smiled the grim smile of woman aroused as she realized that the fugitive was coming into her vengeance while thinking he was journeying to safety. She held the gun lon" the trough wait ing for the odd shape to come before the nuzzle. At last it shot under the end. Very carefully she lowered the weapon as her prey came nearer, nearer, but the lowering was only to follow the target.
 'Nowl" something seemed to say to her, and she fired. A dreadful yell rose from the Hume, dark object shot over the side and turned dozen somersaulss into the rocky canyon below, and the log flew on to the town of the railroad and the mill and the box factory.

A woman living in Louisiana is sup porting herself comfortably on the proceeds of farm on which she raises nothing but mint. All the principal ho- tels and restaurants in New Orleans purchase their mint from her, and she makes enough during the summer months, when juleps and other cooling drinks containing mint are in demand to enable her to live comfortablv through the winter. This is said to be the only farm in the country which is devoted solely to the production of Inint.-Pittsburgh News.

conversation was only about lumber. So she listened to the message and heard it's interruption by the sound of the falling cant hook, and some intui- ton told her what it all meant. h. spiration presented the whole picture.
 She saw the ferocious Chinaman glar- ing his hatred ot the dying man; she saw Jim as he backed toward the door and look hurriedly up and down the mountain. It was a panoramic view. She saw the giant throw his weapon into the bushes beside the little office building and saw him, too, as he looked uncertainty about him seeking for the safest, quickest means of escape. She knew that mountain as we'll as did the gin-drinking Chinaman, and she knew his opportunities. She realized just what he must do to get away quickly, and as though she were there on one Of the flat cars looking at him she saw him as he shambled over to the Hume and hurriedly selected his timber. He picked up one of the cant hooks left by the deserting Chinamen and by the grace of his great strength whirled the beam over till it poised deicately on the edge and then dropped into the water. She saw him straddle it and work itthrough the dead water of the level to the edge, where the swift flow began, and then she saw the wood and it's burden start on it's fugitive journey
 Then she went into the back room and lifted down Sandy's Winchester and ex. amined it carefully. It was in good condition.
 She sat by the window which looked out upon the Hume. The fugitive must be there in very few minutes. In her mind she had followed his movements. and she felt sure of her reckoning. Now he was whirling around the big curve at the Elephant rock, now shooting down the straight course by the Saddle. now whirling under the rocks which arched half over the passageway bur rowed out of the side of the mountain at Eight Mile Point, now he was at the Giant Leap, and his log was coursing through the air before falling back again into the sluiceway; now he was

times, but was obliged to reengage him because the other men of his sun-kissed race were afraid to work while he, nurs- ing sore heart, was abroad in the mountains. Besides, although they kept that a secret, they were not above a quiet love for his Chinese gin of secret creation.
 The Tuesday morning without which this history would be quite unnecessary opened bright and clear with Bad Jim very drunk and anxious to find that man who had said, according to Jims own disturbed dreams, that he could whip him. Instead he found Sandy, who was big enough to throw him off one of the cars on which lumber was brought from the lake, and promptly did so. Sandy, who had refrained from physical contact with this bad China man, losing all patience, descended from the car and whipped him with ex- treme vigor. He returned to the ear, but the other Chinamen were too badly scared to work with any effect, and finally when the boss began to criticise them in his usual picturesque phrase ology, one, known as Little Boy, ex- plained to him that the men had sort of superstitious dread of working with a corpse.
 "Where's your eorpse?' Sandy asked, with some lurid adjectives and nouns accompanying the inquiry Little Bob said that he, Sandy, was that corpse; that Bad Jim would surely kill him; that he was as good as dead man now, and that it was an uncanny thing for live Chinamen to work alongside dead white man or at his direction. They would, therefore, withdraw. And the whole lot of the cattle broke for the lake. Sandy went into his little office building and telephoned the headquar- ters of the company, asking for a lot of new men. "These yellow CUTS have struck for some fool reason" he said. "They pretend it's because of a row [ had with Bad Jim, who seems to have made them think he's going to kill me for knocking him off car. But don't think he will, for he went off into the timber with two as beautiful black eyes as"

 The curiosity which is descended from Eve had caused Becky, away down the mountain side, to rush to the telephone as the bell rang.
