river that found its devious way into
the Scythian gulf. this ;ity of the Zan-
nucxs was laid out with a precision
that would do credit to an English or
American town. Following the almost
straight line of the river. the main
street stretched a half mile. On this
were the principal bazaars and market
places. with drainage directly into the
river. At right angles to this were
other streets, with houses of stone or
wood ornamented according to the
taste Of the owners, each having a lit
tie patch of green and fruit trees and
garden.
"Orskoff," said Harvey, pointing to
an elevation back of the town, ''proba-

THE RIDE TO SILICON PASS

IL n eu 10 look at tne strangers,
lS=5rSSsSs;Si who seemed to be of a race
VszzkSy they looked upon as enemies,
yet their chief, Palpak. treated these
men as friends Palpak was a chief who
gave no explanations of his acts. and
when he demanded horses for himself,
his brothers and his friends they were
at once forthcoming.
Domitan, the brother who had been
so eager to kill Palpak, was morose
and showed but little favor to the
guests. The latter. confident that their
plans would be successful. treated him
considerably. They thought not Of
the risk they ran in going, with rob-
bers for escort, into country from
which few travellers had ever return
ed. The moving power was love, and
love laughs at danger.
From the village a winding path led
from the low shore land to a distant
range of hills. Along this their prog
ress was rapid; but, arriving at the
hills, they found a rugged, rocky road
over which travelling was slow. The
small horses of the Zannucks were
sturdy animals and went unshod over
the jagged stones that covered the mar
row path.
The natives stared at them in amaze
ment A Russian officer in uniform,
accompanying their chief on terms Of
friendship, was a scene they had never
contemplated. Some thought Orskoff
was a prisoner. though he did not act
like one. Harvey seemed actually to be
the leader.
Hidden among great knobs and Sc
questered in fertile valleys were little
villages seemingly devoted to peaceful
pursuits. Flocks of the world famous
sheep, the skins of whose lambs are
sent to Persia, where they are made
into garments or cured and sent TO
Europe and America, were browsing
on the hillsides.
All the herdsmen bore arms. One
would have rifle; another wore a belt
in which two or three pistols were
thrust; some carried the old time spear.
Their garb was most picturesque. The
turbaned Turk, the jaunty Circas:
sian. the jacketed Greek, none of these
could match the gay dress of these hill
men.
The road grew rougher and more diff
ficult. They climbed laboriously. stop

A NEW MATERIAL
Being Used in Place of Laths in New
Telephone Building.

something that is entirely new in
tAi3 vicinity in the building line is Il
new material which is being used in
the new telephone building. called
Sackett board. While the board Is
nothing especially new. as it has been
used in other places for some time it
is nevertheless entirely new in Au-
eusta, and indeed I ~ ne as it is said
TO have never be-" .u ..;5a east of Port
land.
The board is used in the place OF
iaths and comes in sheets 32x3 inches,
ana is fastened to the ioists the same,
as laths. except that the board entirely
covers the service. instead of being
paced apart as is done in the case of
laths. The material is very light and
thin, and is entirely fireproof. which
OF course makes it very popular with
the builders of fireproof buildings
The board is made of calcium oil and
paper and looks Very much like the
pulp that the paper is made from. The
material answers the purpose of laths
very nicely in the case where adamant
is to be put on, although it cannot be
used where plaster is to be used. Car
penters in this vicinity are consider
ably Interested in the new material.
