Southern Pacific ticket Office on Market
street this morning Clinging desperately
to his arm was young woman, her face
! covered with a tear-stained veil and her
slender figure convulsed with sobs.
"Oh. don't CO." she pleaded
Il must" he replied nrmly. as he felt
for his purse.
The clerks in the Office drew near the
couple, reporters crowded around them, a
policeman stepped in the doorway ana "A
great tnrong jostled and serged on the
sidewalk to get a glimpse Of the scene
within
'Oh, please don't leave me-" she begged.
The policeman scowled at the william who
was about to desert the unfortunate little
woman and the clerk who had stepped
forward to attend him had formel
vague idea Of refusing him a ticket in
order to prevent such cruel desertion.
"Oh. please. please don't CO." sobbed the
little woman I'VE were married hut
yesterday"
The man was inexorable. He calmly
drew out his purse and said:
Give me a ticket to"
"Oh. no. no; don't be 50 cruel" walled
the woman. as she clutched mis- arm and
sought to drag him away.
Give me a ticket 10 ocean View" he
ordered. I'm be back by noon, sure"
And the crowd wiIted away.

clouds. A cold wind came up from the
northe9-t and then I had some fears Of
the storm that had threatened all day.
The clouds came thick and fast and
with them rain. at first only few
drops, but finally an icy rain which was
driven by the terrible force of the
wind. With the storm came lightning
and soon saw it would be folly to go
further. l endeavored to turn my
canoe toward shore, but the storm had
changed into young tempest, and to
stay long on the waters in that craft
meant death. 1 drifted on at fearful
rate, and I also noticed that the cur
rent of the river seemed swifter than
l had noticed it before.
while thus engaged a new sound
fell upon my ears. 1t was dull, deep
roar. and every moment it seemed to
increase. The water flowed more
swiftly, and the roaring ahead of me
became deafening. I knew too well
what it was. My boat dashed madly
forward, and I was entering rapids.
How large they were I did not know,
for the country was comparatively new
to me. I dropped my paddle into the
bottom of the boat and hung on with
both hands. How l ever got through
alive 1 don't know for as I viewed the
rapids the next morning they were the
worst had ever seen on medium sized
rivers. The foam dashed over me,
and my canoe grazed scores of rocks.
Then I heard the roaring far behind,
and 1 found myself in tolerably smooth
water, but 1 didn't care about running
any more chances that night, and took
to the northeast bank, which was on
my left. My canoe grated on the sand
and with a feeling of safety 1 stepped
my foot on shore.
"As I did so the woods for rods
around seemed to tremble. 1 knew
what it was. The river at this point
widened into a lake. over the left side
of which was a floating island, that is,
a projection of the mainland over the
lake. The roots of the trees were
closely woven together and good |

number, a young man, remarked that
the day was always one OF thanksglv-

remark. related the following story:

marty of Chicago people. and on the
day in question we were camped
about thirteen miles away from even
a game warden, and can say we had
phenomenally good luck. 1t was the
open season for deer, and we had al
ready killed two fine bucks. The day
had been a busy one in camp, IN max
ing preparations to move down cream
perhaps ten miles or more. My in
tention had been to move in that direc-
tion early in the afternoon in light
ranoe. just to get on to the lay OF the
land. Heavy leaden clouds had hung
low all day and everything acted ike
one of those late electrical storms that
