Straight for the lake went the

quarry, straight for the precipice
where no horse or dog could follow.
At the edge the beast faltered and
turned at bay. The dogs sprang on
him, and he tossed them high in the
air. McNaughton saw hope and
leaped from his horse, drawing his
long knife, making ready for the
dangerous attack.
But the elk suddenly turned and
leaped, and great plunge followed
the leap. The dogs yelped dismally
on the brink. The heaters walled.
But, almost as quick as the elk,
Rama, 'dived.
McNaughton looked over, silent,
breathless. The dog boys cried out
in amazement. The elk was SWIM
ming. Rama dived deep and came
up. The elk saw him and swan mad
ly for him, believing. Rama had his
long knife in his teeth and Owed
again. The elk rose high in the wa
ter with a loud below of agony, and
the lakes surface was stained with
blood. Kama had stabbed him be-
hind the left shoulder, deep into the
heart. ~ - : sse..
A topped rope was on the pommel
of a Saddle. and before the dying amt
NAL could sink Rama had it passed
to him and had slipped the moose
round hind leg, himself sdedgine
the sharp hoofs and horns cleverly.
Then the bearers cheercd and chat
tered and howled as they hauled mp
the elk and Rama McNsnghton, in
whirl of delight, dived deep into
his pockets and handed to Rama as
many rupees as he could hold in his
Q reat fist. But Rama turned away
bent his head and did not touch the
money. All the beaters and servants
were silent in establishment at ths
refusal of so much wealth, but Nc
Nauehton understood. He turned tc
the crowd.
ssBehold!" cried he in their owr
tongue. s'Beholdl Henceforth my

among the copper-producing states of

The calcine acts upon every hair

naturally show the emerald tint quick
est of all. The Irishmans auburn
whiskers offer resistance for a time.
Then a full beard will have faint
traces of various tints of the rainbow.
At length the green claims it's own.
oddly enough it is the worknen
whose work keeps them where their
whiskers will change color who seem
fondest of wearing boards. The cal
cine worker, as a rule, has whiskers.
No other department of the smelter
has-or had before the strike--so great
a percentage of whiskered men in 1t.
And there is reason for this The
rooster stiff" will tell you that 1t is
a good deal better to grow whiskers
and give them over to the calcine than
it is to shave clean and at length come
to have a complexion of a decidedly
greenish tint Many of the men are
content to wear a Santa Claus mask
of green in order to save their skins.
The green is a good deal less than
a scar, because it is permanent only
while the owner of the whisksrs is
working in the fumes. Let him keep
away from the calcine for a month or
so and sunshine and simple treatment
will bring back the hue that nature
meant, or he can shave the green crop
and bring out fresh lot of another
color.

green whiskers; and ii is not as If some
human oddly had come, like a purple
cow into the herd, to Keswick, but
there are scores of men there whose
hirsute appendage is absolutely and I'M
mistakably green.
You will meet an elderly man in over
alls and jumper coming down to the
smelter gate with his lunch pail in his
hand about time for the whistle to
blow for change of shift. He is an in
tel1igent, evenly balanced workingman,
anything but freak, and yet his flow
ing beard is about as green as stage
grass in a play. If you bow he will
lift his hat to you, and you will fur
ther observe that the fringe of thin
locks about his bald spot is almost OF
the same emerald tint as his beard.
Here comes a husky fellow with red
cheeks. Under his pudgy nose there
flares fine mustache, and it Is so
green that ii makes a striking contrast
with his cardinal jowls. He is the last
man in the world whom you would ex-
pect to find in the dye-room of the
hair-dresser's. These two green-whisk-
cred workers are but the advance guard
of a small army which begins to ar
rive presently.
The fact that all the whiskered
and green-haired citizens of Keswick
file in at the same gate gives a key
to the mystery. 1t is what happens
after they emerge again eight ..ours
later. which makes them green. Many
members of that little army are roast
er stiffs," and all work about the OPEN
air ore roasters and in places where
the heavy calcine smoke is continually
streaming over them.
