They sauntered down to the hotel. After
some slight refreshment they sat for a few

that overlooked the street. They engaged
in desultory conversation about nothing

They were not two days out, but the

course, there was no land to be seen: and
Captain jerks desired to discourage any

An instant later an answering roar was
heard. The mate breathed more freely.
Captain Hodworthy Jenkins hove into
view, with murder in his eye. He did not
know what was up, but he felt in fit shape
to tackle anything. He was fighting drunk.
The mate, still struggling, told him what
it He listened for an instant, and
then bore down upon the two fighting men.
The other members of the crew looked on,
half in interest half in fear.
Leave i'm to me, dad gat ye!" roared
Captain Holdworthy Jenkins. Leave i'm
to me. He's my meat for fair"
The mate sprang away from O'Keefe and
the captain took his place. The mate rap
idly pulled down the flag hand over hand,
and ran her up again In proper form. Then,
rapidly one after the other, he ran up
brief signals to the other boat that all was
right. The steamer, which had paused.
now blew an answering toot, and proceed

In the meantime, Capt jerks was work

Ellington O'Keefe was no coward. But

1t was the first member of Its family seen

animals of North America to become ex-

ton for generations, the whfte-tailed deer
was driven from most parts Of New Eng
land, and 1t was feared that IT would never
come back, but during the last few years,
owing to good game laws, properly enforc-
ed, these tilnid creatures have taken heart
and have come back to the woods which
were known to their ancestors. And they
will stay, and add to the beauty of the
country and to the profit Of its inhabitants,
If the woods are but kept habitable by
proper legislation.
In February or March, and occasionally
as late as April the male deer shed their
antlers, which drop from the head without
any flow of blood.
It Grows Quickly.
In about two weeks there may be seen
on the pedicle of each antler a round lump,
which looks a good deal like a brown to-
mato. This is the beginning of the new
horn, but at the time 1t is soft, and full of
blood Soon 1t becomes elongated. and
grows with great rapidity. first assuming
the form of a blunt club from which the
points afterward branch off. Until they
reach their full size, which they do In about
four months the antlers are soft, and easily

hairs, are said to be '1n the velvet
The growing of these new antlers in so

1t Is evening. and as 1 sit here in my
study on the border of the Blue mountain
forest l see through the open window five
deer stealing out from the shadows of the
trees, to feed on the dew-wet grass. They
are in their thin red summer coats, which
in a month or two will begin to give place
to the longer and warmer winter garb Of
brownish gray. Daintily they step along on
their slender, sinewy legs, stopping here
and there to nibbe leaf or bunch Of
grass, ever and anon raising their pretty
heads to see that no danger threatens them.
Their tails, which are rather long, are deep
ly fringed with white, and, when not sway

behind. Now and then one of them will

Fall Wheat Looks Good.

Persons who have travelled
through the Palouse country dur
ing the past few weeks report the
stand of tall wheat unusually good.
The wild oats look brown and sick
ly and show every indication of be-
ing effectually checked by the freez-
ing and thawing of the early winter,
which will put it out of the way of
the wheat and further the chances
for a good crop. The excellent con-
dition of the wheat crop is owing
principally to the fact that the
weather during the fall permitted
of getting the crop in early and
with the ground in good condition.
The acreage of fall wheat is not
SO large as supposed by many. This
is owing to the large acreage sown
to oats last year because of the high
price that product commanded and
which has continued. This ground
will have to be summer fallowed
before sowing to wheat again. The
acreage is sufficient, however, to
yield the Palouse a big crop of
wheat if nothing occnrs to mar the
present prospects.-Republic.
