FACE ON

Il was at the matinee. The curtain
had fallen upon a one-aot farce, and
he house was darkened for the bio
Eraph.
Two girls sat In the left-hand box,
chatting together. Their faces shone
Whitley In the half-light. The lines

Mabel frowned. She closed her fan
and tapped it impatiently against the

what difference did that make? Do

Florence pressed the lips Of her
gloved fingers against her mouth to
conceal a yawn. mot necessarily"
said she.
The fact Of the matter was that
dreams and signs and wonders were a
part Of her religion, but the matinee
was not exactly the place for a heated
discussion. Besides, she was Mabels
guest.
When did you hear from Arthur
she asked, with a quick change of the
subject. Arthur was Mabel's soldier
sweetheart.
THAT is the trouble" sighed Mabel,
Il haven't heard from him for ages.

vas. There was a ripple OF subdued
laughter as the little girl fell from the
ropes into the water, the dog swim
ming coolly off and leaving her there.
Picture after picture was then pre-
scented. There was the naval parade,
the warships passing up the Hudson,
the yachts Swimming swiftly in front
Of them, partially obstructing the view
of the sailors who stood like white
statues along their docks; next Hob
son walked leisurely down the deck
Of the little cruiser; then a review Of
the troops at Tampa was announced.
Perhaps it is Arthur's regiment
that is to be reviewed." whispered Ma
bel, clasping her hands ecstatically to-
gether. "Oh, hope sol"
There was a drum-beat and before a
dim vista or white tents the troops
passed in review.
Their faces look sad" said Flor
ence, "and they walk as If they were
tired to DEATH
A white dog, the mascot of the regl-
ment, occupied the center of the can
vas for a second, a soldier following.
A piece Of paper ioated along be-
hind. Then came a row Of six stall
wart men. The man in front suddenly
turned his face toward the audience.
He looked straight at Mabel. His eyes
were hollow and sad. Intense Weari-
ness was stamped upon every line Of
his gaunt features.
Mabel leaned eagerly forward. She
laid hold of Florence's arm.
Look, Florence!" she gasped. Look,
it Is Arthur"
In a moment the face was gone from
the canvas, others had taken its place,
the drum ceased to beat, the review
was over, and the canvas was dark
again.
Mabel was white to the lips. She
hurriedly gathered up her belongings,
her fan. her handkerchief, her opera
glasses.
What are you about?" asked Flor
encet 'the thing is not half over"

"His eyes we're hollow and sad, .
stammered Mabel, "and his cheeks

Florence affected an Overwhelming
surprise.
Il thought you didn't believe In

"oh, yes, we can, Come, we will

by the time they reached the house
Florence had coaxed the girl into
omething like her old gayety. She
laughed al a bit OF her nonsense as
they ran up the steps together.

From the Cornhill: There is at the
present moment at the Natural History
museum a model of the skull of an
eagle so gigantic that the Imagination
can scarcely fit it into the life Of this
planet at all. The whole head is larger
than that of an OK, and the beak re-
sembles a pair of hydraulic shears. I'm
like most of the giant beasts, this
eagle, which inhabited Patagonia, APP
pears from its remains to have diff
fered little in form from the existing
species. Its size alone distinguishes
It. The quilts of the feathers which
bore this awful raptor through the air
must have been as wide as oar blades.
It could have killed and torn to pieces
creatures as large as a bison, and
whirled up into the sky and dropped
upon the rocks the gigantic carapaced
animals of prehistoric Patagonia as
easily as a modern eagle Of California
does the land tortoises on which it
feeds. Even today there are few car
nivorous animals. whether birds or
beasts, which have so wide a prey as
the eagles. Like the winged dragons
of old story. they can ravage earth,
air and sea, and feed promiscuously on
the denizens of all three elements.
From serpents on the burning desert
to seals on the everlasting Ice, from
monkeys in the tropical forests to
marmots on the Alpine slopes, from
dead sheep on highland hills to pea
cocks in the Indian iungles, no form of
fish, flesh or fowl comes amiss to them
and the young eagle, driven by the in
exorable law of his race from the
home where he was reared, finds a free
breakfast table wherever he flies.

For a week or ten days before
Thanksgiving the President received
many letters asking for the wishbone
of the turkey that graced his board
upon that day. Several asked for the
right drumstick, but nobody asked for
the left. This is unexplained, but there
is probably some superstition connected
with the turkeys right leg. 1t is a
curious fact, too, that nobody wrote

CUT QUEBEC
MOUNTAIN.
Spokane Men Driving a Tun-
mel 5000 Feet Long.

The Spokesman.Review Of the roth in.
stant gives much prominence to the follow.
ing Interesting information furnished by
its GraDite correspondent:
II has remained for q Spokane syndicate
10 undertake one of the largest mining Ell.
,erprises in eastern Oregon, This enter.
prise con,emplates the tunneling of Que.
bee mountain, perhaps the richest in all
oi eastern Oregon. The tunnel has a..
ready been started, and Is IN go feet. II
is 7x7 feet IN the clear, and when com.
ple,ed viii be 1000 feet long. There are
eight men employed, and considerable
progress is being made.
The promoter ot this enterprise is the
Aldtin Tunnel company, composed Of Spo-
kane capitalists, and the work is in charge
OF T.. X. Aldfin.
As the Lodges In Quebec mountain,
upon which are located such famous prop.
critics as the Quebec, Alamo, Scandia and
Van Anda mines, are from $50 to $50 feet
apart, the company expects to cut perhaps
n dozen lodges with its tunnel, and at.
tain depth OF ai least 1900 feet.
e.. Il. Aldrin, who has operated eStcn.
sivrly In the Okanogan and Colorado
mining districts In the past i've years. as
result Of his investigation Of the geolog.
ital formation Of eastern Oregon's vast
mineral zone, has given some valuable In.
formation regarding the character OF the
ore that may be looked for IN any given
locality.
Mr.. Aldrin finds that the northern half
OF this mineral belt, which is about sixty
miles wide and runs from northeast to
southwest, carries tree milling gold, the
northern portion sulphurets carrying
the gold values and the western portion
the basrr combinations with other metals.
tie also makes the announcement that
most Of the porphyry dykes crossing the
country are Of an older formation than the
ore bodies, and that In consequence these
dykes are oi inestimable value to the pros.
pector In locating lodges. Wherever the
dykes have been formed subsequent to
the ore bodies the veins invariably carry
from foo, to two feet Of tree milling ore
along the hanging wall.
These dykes Mr.. Aldrin takes rs con.
elusive evidence of the existence OF a
granite foundation 10 all OF this country. /
Ore bodies, he contends, viii retain their
milling properties down to the granite
substra,um, which is from 1900 TO Isoo
feet deep. The geological structure OF the .
country leads him to the conclusion that
there is absolutely no foundation for the .
theory advanced by some that the ores In
this section must give out or grow base
with depth. The ore bodies obtain their
values from the surrounding rock and not
from the interior Of the earth; hence the
values cannot run out until the granite
foundation is reached. What there may
