some work to do These facts were
clear to my kind and indulgent father,
but Of course we boys never thought of
1t and laid our little shoulders to the
hard work of helping father lift up the
long, heavy poles that were to complete
the corral around our pioneer log cabin,
aud we really hoped and half believed
that he might bring home little pet

This stout log corral had become an
absolute necessity. II was high and
strong and made Of poles or small logs
stood on end In n trench after the fash
ion Of n primitive one In front OF the
cabin door Here 1t was proposed to
put up a gate. We also had talked
about portfolios in the corners of the
corral, but neither gate nor portfolios
were yet made. In fact, as said before,
the serene and indolent man of the sea
always slowly walked away down
through the grass toward his untrackcd
claim whenever there was anything
said about portfolios, posts or gates.
Father and we three little boys had
only got the last post set and solidly
"tamped" I'm the ground as the sun was
going down.
Suddenly we heard yell, then yell

heard In the high grass in the Gamas
valley below, and the believing of cat
tie came from the woody river banks
far beyond.
Then up Oh the brown hills of the Or
eg0n sierras above US came the Wild
answer OF the wild black cattle of the
| hills, and n moment later, right and
left, the long black lines began to
widen out; then down they came, like
whlrlwlnd, toward the black and

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many eases either a fatal onset of
pneumonia, or a complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. BY wearing a Beason's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer-
ing from grip, or from the usual win
ter coughs and colds. BenSon'S Plasters
are a sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.

At length, as the hour was growing

being man OF resolution, he determin-
ed not to risk another hours delay. He
stopped moment In a cigar store TO

The reason why a boil is always In the

and Hanged the Murderer.
Small things sometimes tell big tales
and unravel mysteries Of long standing"
said an old detective who has seen long
service in running down criminals IN va
rious parts of the country. THE most
singular case that ever fell under my care
was a case in which a white man had
been murdered In some mysterious way,
and the body was put away and all ef-
forts to locate it were out of the ques-
ton. Suspicion Tell on negro, and ne
was arrested, but subsequently was re-
leased because of the absence Of proof to
connect him with the crime. The body
was missing, and it was certain that the
man mad been murdered and robbed by
some person familiar with the surround
ings. The negro had worked for him,
but had been discharged because OF i'm
pudence.
"Ten years lapsed. All interest in the
crime had died out. One day some negro
blackberry pickers came across key
which hung on the limb of bush. Be
cause of the growth of the bush the ham
die of the key was partially buried in
the limb. Right under the bush the ne
groes found the bleached and decaying
bones OF human form. When the mat
ter was reported, was sent out to In
vestigate the matter, and gathered up
the bones, cut the bush down and took
everything to the police station. We
went back over the list of missing men.
There was a captain connected with
the department who possessed wonder
full memory, and he turned all OF his at
tention to the rusty key, which was still
in the limb of the bush. ought to state
here that the negro had remained In the
community and had by his industry
bought a few acres of land on which
stood the house which had figured In the
mysterious disappearance ten years be-
fore. Cut that key out for me- said the
captain, and 1t was cut out He had a
consultation with the chief and. without
telling me where he was going. asked me
to go with him.
1--WE Travelled about four miles and
drove up to a little house late In the
evening. There was nobody at home L
guess we might as well go in, the captain
said, and, pulling the key from his peck
ct, he showed 1t into the lock, turned 1t
and opened the door. We waited for the
negro after locking the door again, but
he never returned. The house was
watched all night, but the negro never
came. We grew suspicious and soon
learned that he had fed upon hearing Of
the discovery in the brier patch. Flight
strengthened the evidence Of his guilt.
He was arrested In neighboring state,
returned, tried and convicted and finally
executed.
1.-THE key which solved the mystery had
got caught In a twig that sprung up in
the brier patch, and but for this fact the
mystery would have never been solved. .
