In the faint gray dawn he awoke
fromYa troubled sleep. They were on
a long sandy beech. Clear across the
bay were the buildings Of the great
hotel. Beyond and above them was q
small village and the cross Of q tiny
stone church showed over the trees.

The news OF their rescue went by

whole house, excited by their disap1s

,piazzas and at the wharf for their re-
turn on the coast steamer.
The people at the village had given
them some clothing but they presented
a strange appearance az they stepped
on shore. At the gang-plank stood
a white-haired old man and q red
faced middle-aged man. They were
both stern and choleric, their great
relief finding vent In hot anger. The
culprits came together. Carter Starr
held his head high and his lips were
as set as his grandfather's own. Eloise
was wan and chung to his arm. There
was a loud huzzahing Of the passen-
gers and, a dash forward to shake
hands.

FIND WATER IN THE DESERT.

Plentiful Flow Il Struck in Mojave
49, Desert by Prospectors.
The Mojave desert, located in the,
southeastern portion Of the state, has
long been regarded as dangerous to
life and valueless for any purpose;
says the San Francisco Argonaut.:
True, 1t was known that the arid land
could be rendered fruitful by means
Of irrigation, but there was no water
there and none could be obtained
without a heavy expenditure. The
only plan proposed that promised re-.
lief was the construction Of immense
reservoirs, in the mountains to retain
the storm water for a long distance
during the summer, This meant q
heavy initial outlay and neither the
state government MOI. the federal gov
eminent has as yet expressed a will
ingness to incur It. Life 81 the desert
when not positively dangerous, is
crowded with h%ardships, but 5hardshtps
have no deterrent effect upon the
searchers for gold, and lately the waste
places Of the desert have been invaded
by an army Of prospectors for oil. The
theory upon which they proceeded wa
that the Kern river oil belt extends
through the Mojave desert. Whether
or not there Is any virtue In this
theory, the facts SO far developed have
not justified it. No oil has been found.

Black Diamonds,

Black diamonds are comparatively
rare and correspondingly high priced.
They are three or four times as hard as
the white ones, and fire cannot harm
them, however great the heat, but IL
drop of water should touch them while
heated they will explode and leave
nothing but a little heap Of sand in
their place.
Their beauty is not remarkable, but
on account Of their extreme hardness
they are invaluable for dressing sur
faces impervious to the friction Of any
other material. The largest black dia-
monds are set In the end Of a round
short bar of steel, with a handle Of
wood, and are used In dressing emery
wheels that have lost their "trueness.
A black diamond is the only substance
that will not be ground away by con-
tact with the emery surface.
Black diamonds are also used as
points In scoring pencils which are
used by sealers of weights and meas
ures to mark glass receptacles. They
are used by dentists for drilling teeth
before filling them with gold. In ap-
pearance they look more like shining
little splinter Of iron or grain Of coal
than precious gem, and their chief
mission Is distinctly commercial and
not an ornamental one.

Demand For Excelsior.

The present annual production In
this country of excelsior is about 10000
tons. Put to a great variety Of uses,
excelsior Is most commonly used for
packing purposes, and In such uses it
is employed for many very different
kinds of things. 1t is used, for exam
pie, In the packing Of things SO fragile
as eggs and things SO solid as iron
toys. In the various uses to which it is
put excelsior is most in demand where
manufacturing is carried on, so that
the larger part of the great quantity Of
this material now produced in this
country is used east of the Mississippi
river.-New York Sun.

She was pouring at a tea that after

in bower of palms that almost con-
cealed him. He was holding one Of her
hands under cover Of the tablecloth,
while she tried to pour with the other.
She did not look at him as he talked,
but he knew by her color and the little
culver of the hand he was holding that
she heard everything he said.

one cup off without spoon and anoth-
