with JOY. ut will bring US more par
ties to guide and more Mickey for our
purses" they said. There we're some
few thinking ones among them, how
ever, who said: 1.-The railroad means
that soon we will have no woods into
which a blind man could not find his
way"
The railroad came. Traffic had not
yet opened, but one day locomotive
drew the private palace car of one of
the roads directors on to a siding at
the end of the spur track. The director
with some friends had come on tour
of inspection of the road and was to
spend some time in hunting and fish
ing. The directors son was with the
party. He went on a hunting trip
alone, taking Susan Hale's father for
a guide. He stayed for several days at
the Hales' woodland home. The city
bred man found that there was other
game in the woods besides deer.
In Susan Hale's eyes this newcomer
was not as other men were. 1t was
done i'll and done quickly. Susan Hale
disappeared. All that could be found
out was that the directors son had
secured permission to have the locomo-
tive take the car back to the nearest
main line connection, then to return
without him.
One wear later Giles Blossom thread
ed a trail down the side of Marcy and
came to an opening from which he
could see the roof of old George Hale's
log house. This opening had been his
trysting place with Susan. How many
times he had been there during the
year that was gone Blossom himself
alone knew. The sun was touching
Marcy's tops with its last rays. A her.
nit thrush was singing its vesper
hymn. There were lines in the guides
face. He looked down toward the spot
where through a break in the fence
about the Hale clearing Susan had been
accustomed to appear. He saw some
thing that made his heart beat. He
looked again. Susan Hale was coming
across the opening through the woods.
She saw him and came toward him,
She had steeled herself for the task.

WOLVES EAT A RAILROAD.
Rails of Rawhide DevOured by Ra-
venOus Beasts in the State of
Washington.

About 1872 one of the first railroads
of the northwest was built in the terri
tory of Washington, from Walla Walla
to Wallula, along the banks of the
Walla Walla river, and following the
general line of what is now the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company's
road between those points. The road
was primitive affair, says Recreation,
and was built, owned and operated by
Dr.. Baker, of Walla Walla. 1t had
no Pullman cars, chair cars or buffet
cars, and the day coaches were mostly
platform or fiat cars. Instead of hav-
ing a right of way the road had per-
mission to go through the fields of the
farmers; consequently the road was
not rapid transit one, as the train
hands had to get off and lay down the
rail fences and put them up again after
the train had passed through.
The roadbed was constructed by Law
ing cross ties six or eight feet apart,
and on those laying wooden stringers
for rails. The heavy traffic over the
road caused the rails to wear in spots,
so that train wrecks and smashups were
of daily occurrence. These were not
serious, for when the train crew saw
wreck coming their way, they would
hop off and let it wreck.
The annoyances, however, soon be-
came detrimental to the interests of
shippers, so the owner had to devise
some means of overcoming the diff
Guilty. Rails of standard railroad iron
were out of the question, as they had
to be shipped ''the Horn around" and
freighted by wagon quite a distance,
and strap iron could not be had, and
the doctor, with Yankee shrewdness,
finally hit upon the happy idea of SUBJ
stituting rawhide for strap iron. Cat
tie were plentiful, and rawhide cheap,
so the doctor soon had his track lay
ers at work putting the rawhide on
the stringers. The rawhide soon be-
came dry and as hard as iron, and an
swered the purpose admirably during
dry weather.
The winter succeeding the laying of
the rawhide track was a severe one
for that part of the country. The
snow lay on the ground several weeks.
The wolves were driven from the noun
tains by the deep SHOWS, and skir-
mished for living as best they could
in the valleys. When the snow began
to melt it softened the rawhide rails,
and the hungry wolves soon found the
track When spring came and the snow
had melted the wolves had eaten up
the railroad track from Walla Walla
to Wallula.

shoulders over windfalls and through
S"luggage" of the express car. Twen-
ty-five years since primitive people,
few in number, dwelt in the then wild
northern woods. They were as pic
turesque in their way as the noun
taineers of eastern Tennessee. Per-
haps some day a novelist may find in
the place and people as they then were
the material for a story that shall
1ive.
Giles Blossom was a guide, as had
been his father before him. He was
born within sight of the towering peak
of forest-clad Marcy. Blossom was
rugged fellow. The saying is homely
and old, but of this man eminently
true, his heart was in the right place.
He was 25 years old, and had been
guide through the whole northern
woods since he was boy of Is.
Susan Hale was the daughter of
guide who lived on the other slope
of the mountain. Sometimes Giles
met her. There was not too much So
ciety in the wilderness. From the
breaking up of the ice in the spring
until tie deer season closed in the fall
there was occupation and some COM
partnership for the woodsmen. 1t came
from the outside world and was made
up wholly of men who, though city
bred, loved the woods for the woods
sake and for the wild sport which they
afforded.
From the time that some few revo-
lutionary soldiers and their wives had
entered the wilderness and made their
homes there had been marrying and
giving in marriage in the scattered
families of these people who lived so
close to natures heart. Giles Blossom
loved Susan Hale and her father smiled
on the sutton. AS for the girl herself
she was trained to obedience. 81 like
you, Giles" she said. "You are differ
ent from some of the others. Jim
Crawford wants to marry me, too. He
cuts the Threats of the deer when they
break through the crust in winter. I
heard you say once that was murder,
and that every creature should be
given chance for his life. Giles,
think a man who would kill the deer
that way would beat his wife. It's in
him"
1t isn't long story this, the story
of the shadow of Mount Marcy. 1t was
fixed that Giles and Susan were to go
over to the Saranac to the little Epis-
copal mission, and there to be married
when the snow was melting from the
crest of Marcy.
This was at the time of the begin
ming of the end of the wilderness of
the north woods. The spur of rail-
road had been pushed through into the
heart of the region. The woq5smen
