Considerable interest attaches just
now to the Uintah Indian reservation,
because of the provision in the last
Indian appropriation bill, providing
for the opening, and which carried an
appropriation of $4,000 to complete
the surveys, begun some time ago.
The original bill fixed October LIST.
1904, as the date Of the opening, but
because of the amount of work to be
the surveys. II was found necessary to
postpone the opening until March 10.
1905, which was done by action of con-
gress.
The Uintah reservation lies in Uin-
tab and Wasatch counties. Utah. in
the northeastern portion of the state.
In area 1t consists of two million
three hundred and thirty.four thou
sand acres of mountain and valley.
There are several fine streams Of
water that rise In the Uintah range on
the north, and traverse the lower val
feys. finally emptying themselves into
Green river. The principal streams
%
with numerous forks. all OF which can
be easily diverted for purposes of ir-
rigation, making II one of the best
watered sections of the state. From
the foot Of the Uintah mountains to
the south line OF the reservation are
a continuous succession Of benches of
soil that Is admirably adapted to all
kinds Of crops that can be grown any
where in this latitude.
In altitude, the reservation ranges
from 1000 feet in the lower valleys to
$4,000 feet on the summit of the lofti-
est peaks OF the Uintah range-the
highest In the state.
In selecting lands for the Indians,
the allotments have been made prin-
cIpally along the river bottoms, while
the bench lands, which are usually the
most fertile, are practically untouched
and will provide homes for many
thousands OF people.
In climate, soil and crops. the reser-
walton Is identical with the Ashley
valley, twenty miles to the east, which
Is, without question, ono of the garden
spots OF the west. In this valley are
grown magnificent crops Of grains of
all kinds. and alfalfa hay yields three
crops a year. The whole of the U!n-
tab basin. which comprises all the ter
ritory lying south Of the Uintah range.
draining into Green river, and en-
bracing all OF the Uintah and Uncom-
pahgre reservations, and practically
all Of Uintah county, Is adapted to the
growth OF small fruits, especially, and
the apples produced in the Ashley val
ley are the finest In the world. This
crop is unusually fine this year, the
orchards, in many instances, breaking
down under the burden Of fruit that
Is without blemish. In some parts OF
the Ashley valley. the finest OF peaches
are also grown.

rowing one of Elfgiva's graces, she
swept back her rustling draperies in
a ceremonious courtesy before him.
Again he bent in his bow of stiff
embarrassment; but he did not meet
her glance even then, returning his
gaze, soldier-like. to the king.
The awkwardness of the pause
seemed to afford Canute a kind OF
mischieVous amusement, for all the
courtesy in which he yelled it. His
voice was almost too cheerful as he ad.

judge all Danish hospitality from this
reception, Lord Ivarsdale. Since
Frode's daughter has told me who you
are. l take it for granted that lney

with no worse intention than to obey
her invitation"
His glance sharpened a little as he
pronounced those last words, and the
girls hands clasped each other more
tightly as she perceived the snare in
the phrase. If the Etheling should
answer unheedingly or obscurely, so
that it should not be made quite clear
to the king
But it appeared that the Etheling
was equally anxious that Canute
should not believe him the lover of
Frode's daughter. His reply was dis
tinct to bluntness: Part of your
guess is as wrong as part of il is
right, king of the Danes. Certainly

toward you, but neither had l any
thought soever of the Lady Randalin,
of whose existence I was ignorant.

son, to whom | owe and l pay all the
service which lies in my power-as it
is likely you know"
A while Canute's keen eyes weighed
him; then their sky was cleared of the
last cloud. The best expression Of
which his brilliant face was capable
was on 1t as he turned and held out
his hand to the girl beside him.
Shall we pledge our friendship
anew, Frode's daughter" was all he
said; but she knew from his look that
he had taken her under his shield for
all time to come. For an instant, as
she yielded her trembling fingers to
his palm, her cropping spirit turned and
chung to him, craving his sympathy.
1t seemed that he OWNED the ap.
peal, for with the hand that pressed
her he drew her forward a step. us

Of Ivarsdale yourself and thank him

he said kindly; and without waiting
for an answer, moved away and joined
a group Of those who had been his
companions before the interruption.
At last she stood face to face with
the man she loved, face to face, and
alone. And still he neither sHke to
her nor looked at her! So strange
and terrible was 1t all that 1t gave
her resolution to speak and end it. Her

The Etheling's sword was out while
the other was still speaking. by
Saint Mary, do you imagine that l
am fearful of you. Never in my life
was l more thirsty for fighting"
But Rothgar pushed the blade aside
with his naked palm. mot here,
sides, the king wants a thrust at you
first. Nor have you yet greeted Ran
dalin, Frode's daughter"
On the verge of an angry retort, Sc
bert paused to regard him, suspicion
darting spark-life through his mind.
Did the Jotun's words smack of jeal-
ousy? 1t was true that it needed not
that to explain their bitterness, and
yet What more natural than that
the kings foster-brother should love
the kings ward? If it was so, it was
small wonder the girl had said that he
would slay her when he discovered
her unfaithfulness. Unfaithfulness!
Sebert started. Had she not in that
very word acknowledged bond. Not
only did he love her, but she must
have returned his affections. The
spark Of suspicion fiared into a fame.
The young mobiles lips curled as he
glanced at the warrior beside him, at
the coarse face under the unkempt
locks, at the huge body in its trap
pings of stained gaudiness. Involun-
tarily, he looked again at the group
by the well. She was very winsome
in her smiling, and the graceful lines
of her trailing robes, their delicacy
and soft richness, threw about ner all
the glamour Of rank and state. He
clenched his hands at the thought of
such treasures thrown down for brutal
feet to trample on; and his heart grew
hot with anger against her, anger and
scorn that were almost loatl q g, that
she who looked so fine should be so
poor, So But Ne did not finish his
thought, for on it's heels came another,
a recollection that stayed his anger
and changed his scorn to conjunction.
However dear Rothgar might have
been to her, he could be dear no
longer, or she would never have be.
trayed his trust and dared his hate
to save Ivarsdale Tower-and its mas
ter.
Meanwhile, the son of Lodbrok had
been drawing heavily on his scant
stock of patience. Suddenly, he ran
out completely. Selling the Etheling
by the shoulders, before he could raise
finger in resistance, he thrust him
through the open doorway into the
garden, a target for every startled
glance. After which, he himself
stalked grimly on to await him at the
city gate.

The Homeless Of London.

From an investigation made by the
medical officer of the London County
Council it is estimated that one in
every 1000 of the population of the
city of London is homeless.
A census of the persons who could
not pay for a nights lodging in the
cheapest of lodging houses and passed
the night out of doors in the streets,
or under arches, or in the recesses Of
front doors, or on landings and stair
cases of tenements where the doors
had been left open, revealed such
number in a certain district that the
officer felt justified in making the esti-
mate presented to the council. On
the night this investigation was I'M
dertaken there were 5000 vacant beds
in the lodging houses.-New York

TREES THAT MAKE MUSIC.
Pleasant Sounds Produced by the Ae.

Pleasant Sounds Produced by the Ac-
ton of the Wind.
AS the visitors passed through the
botanical gardens, flutelike whistle
made itself heard-a sweet and pleas
ant sound that rose and fell as the
wind rose and fell.
What is that whistling." the visit
ors said.
The head forester, laughing, an
swered:
That is our whistling tree playing
an obligato in your honor. Come this
way, and I'll show it to you
The tree stood in the sun. The
breeze rocked it's branches, and a
clear chorus, as of flutes, arose.
We'll" murmured a man, this is
almost uncanny."
The tree" said the forester,
comes from the Soudan. You per-
ceive the pods on the branches ends?
Well, it is these pods that do the
whstling. They are hollow, and
holes, caused by the wind or by in
sects, perforate them. Thus they are
musical nstruments-penny whistles.
Blown through by the breeze they
give forth a fiutelike sound"
The south wind bent the tree almost
to the ground, and the music was
shaken forth loud and sweet.
Strange, isn't it," said the forester,
and he added:
THE tree does well in this climate.
1t may become popular here. But it
would never do to have it near the
house, for on windy nights it would
keep the folks awake"

that 1t had swept over him afresh how
much he did owe her. Perhaps also
how much he had promised to pay?

In its infinite gentleness, his voice
was almost tender. For as long as the
space between one breath and the next,
her spirit leaped up and stretched out
its arm to it's joy; but she stayed it on
the theshold of utterance to look fear
fully into his face, whose every shade
was open to her as the day. Looking
into his eyes. she knew that it was
no more than pity. He guessed that
she loved him and he pitied her; but
he could not forgive her unmaidenli-
ness, he could not love her.

Food Problems.

The problem Of what to eat and
how to cook food is of greater mo-
ment than the question of overeating.
An editorial in The British Medical
Journa. of a recent date states the
situation aptly in the following
words: What to eat and what to
drink will always be decided by ma
tional custom and individual prefer
ence, so far as the public is con-
cerned, but both may be influenced
in the right direction by the guidance
of skilled medical opinion"
