The northeastern section Of the Unit.
ed States has already become great
manufacturing region. A larger outlet
for its textile and iron and steel pro-
ducts and for the many other manufac-
lures now being exported, and the abil-
ity to secure the foods, chemicals. ores,
hpers and woods obtainable only from
Pacific countries. are yearly becoming
more imperative. We all realize in Q
vague way that American manufac-
lures are being exchanged fer foreign
goods in many parts Of the Pacific, but
we do not readily comprehend the
magnitude Of these exchanges. When
a Brooklyn firm informs US that 1t

Of machinery annually to the Hawaiian

ports the expectation OF 1856 locomo-

Watehe, slower at Niaht.

You know that the vital energies

daytime" said an old matchmaker
Would you believe that some watches
especially the cheaper ones-are
similarly affected?
You know a good matchmaker al
ways wants several days in which to
regulate timepiece. That is because
the only way to regulate it properly
is to compare it with chronometer at
the same hour every day. Otherwise
the variations In the speed of the
watch will battle his efforts. H
THE man to whom was apprentic-
ed told me this, and thought the idea
absurd. We were working late one
night, and he called my attention to a
lot OF watches we had regulated and
ready to deliver. 1t was near mid
night and every watch was slow. The
better timepieces had Jagged behind
some seconds. The cheaper watches
were a minute or more out of the
way. Next morning every one Of the
lot was exactly right. r f-Uf

at his side, the axe only hanging to
his hand by means of the loop passed
around the wrist. A spasm of pain
crossed his face at the racking agony
in the nerves of his arm, yet he re-
tanned energy enough to spring back
and still he stood erect. A cry of dis
may burst from the followers of the
red champion and a keen yell from
the whites, unable to suppress their
exultation. Yet at the next moment
the partisans of either had become
silent; for, though the Indian seemed
disabled, the mozo stood before him
weaponless. The tough, slender rod
which made the handle Of his war axe
had snapped like a pipestem under the
force of his blow, and even the raw
hide covering was torn loose from the
head of stone, which lay, with a foot
of the broken hardwood stan still
attached, upon the ground between
the two antagonists.
Juan cast away the bit OF rod still
in his hand and rushed forward

him with his naked fingers. White
Calf, quicker-witted Of the two, slung
the thong of his war club free from
his crippled right hand, and, grasping
the weapon in his left, still made play
with 1t about his head. The giant
none the less rushed in, receiving upon
his shoulder a blow from the left
hand Of the Indian which cut the flesh
clean to the collar bone, in great
bruised wound which was covered at
once with squirt of blood. The next
instant the two fell together, the In
lian beneath his mighty foe, and the
two writhing in a horrible embrace.
The hands of the mozo gripped the
Indians throat, and he uttered rasp-
ing, savage roar Of triumph, more
beastlike than human, as he settled
hard upon the chest of the enemy
whose life he was choking out. Again
rose the savage cries Of the onlookers.
Not even yet had the end come.
There was heavy struggle, a sharp

where blood came from between hfs
fingers. The Indian had worked his
left hand to the sheath of his knife,
and stabbed the giant who had SO
nearly overcome him. Staggering, the
two again stood erect, and yet again
came the cries from the many red
men and the little band of whites who
were witnessing this babarous and
brutal struggle. Bows were bending
among the blankets. but the four rifles
now pointed steadily out One move
ment would have meant death to many
but that movement was forestalled In
the still more rapid happenings of the
unfinished combat. For one-half sec
ond the two fighting men stood apart,
the one stunned at his unexpected
wound. the other startled that the
wound had not proved fatal. Seeing
his antagonist still on his feet, White
Calf for the first time lost courage.
With the knife still. held in his left
hand, he hesitated whether to Join
again the encounter, or himself to
guard against the attack of foe SO
proof to injury. He half turned and
gave back for pace.
The man pursued by foe looks
about him quickly for that weapon
nearest to his own hand. The dread
OF steel drove Juan to bethink HIM
self Of weapon. He saw 1t at his
feet, and again he roared like an angry
rull. his courage and his purpose alike
unchanged. He stopped and clutched
the broken war axe. grasping the
stone head in the palm of his great
hand. the jagged and ironlike shaft
projecting from between his fingers
like the blade of a dagger. With the
leap of q wild beast he sprang again
upon his foe. White Calf half turned.
but the left hand of the giant caught
him and held him up against the
fatal stroke. The sharp shaft Of wood
struck the Indian in the side above
the hip. quartering through till the
stone head sunk against the flesh with
fearful sound. With q scream the
victim Strengthened and fell forward.

and went down headlong. A murmur
arose from the Indians, who thought
at first that their leaders blow had
proved fatal. A sharp call from
Curly seemed to bring the Mexican to
his feet at once. The Indian lost the
half moment which was his own.
Again the two engaged, White Calf
now seeking to disconcert the Mexi-
can, whom he discovered to be less
agile than himself. Darling in and
out, jumping rapidly from side to side,
and uttering the while the sharp stac-
cato of his war call, he passed about
the Mexican, half circling and return
ing, his eye fixed straight upon the
others, and his war club again and
again hurtling dangerously close to his
opponents head One shade more OF
courage, one touch more of the daring
necessary to carry him q single foot
closer in, and the victory had been
with him. for no human skull could

Juan the mozo stood almost motion
less, his own club half raised. the
great muscles of his arm now showing
under the brown skin as he clinched
hard the tiny stem Of the weapon. His
readiness for offense was the one de-
fense that he offered. His brute cour-
age had no mental side. The whist
ling of this threatening weapon was
unheeded, since 1t did not hurt him.
He glared in fury at the Indian, but
always his arm remained half raised,
his foot but shifted, side stepping and
turning only enough to keep him with
front toward his antagonist. The des-
perate, eager waiting of his attitude
was awful. The whisper Of the wings
Of death was on the air about this
place. The faces OF the white men
witnessing the spectacle were drawn
and haggard.
White Calf pursued his rapid tactics
for some moments, and dozen times
sped blow which still fell short. He
gained confidence. and edged closer
in. He feinted and sprang from side
to side, but gained little ground. His
people saw his purpose. and murmurs
of approval urged him on. II seemed

fatal blow upon apparently half
stupefied opponent. He sought finally
to deliver this blow. but the effort was

Yet huge and menacing as he stood,
the figure opposed to him was still
more formidable. Juan the mozo over
topped him by nearly half a head, and
was as broad or broader in the shoul-
der. His body, a dull brown in
color. showed smoother than that Of
his enemy, the muscles not having
been brought out by unremitted exer-
else. Yet under that bulk of flesh
there lay no man might tell how much
OF awful vigor. The loop of the war
club would not slip over his great
hand. He caught 1t In his fingers and
made the weapon hum about his head,
as some forgotten ancestor of his, tall
Navajo, or forgotten cave dweller, may
nave done before the Spaniard came
The weapon seemed to him like toy,
and he cast his eye about for another
more commensurate with his strength,
but, seeing none, forgot the want, and
In the sheer ignorance of fear which
made his bravery, began the fight as
though altogether careless of its end.
White Calf was before his people,

perSoudi prOWeSS, ana WIN all the
vanity of his kind he exulted in this
opportunity Of displaying his fitness
for his place. Yet In him natural
bravery had qualifying caution,
which was here obviously well Jus.
tilted. The Mexican made direct as
sault, rushing on with battle axe pois-
ed as though to end 1t all with one
immediate blow. With guard and
parry he was more careless than the

White Calf was not SO rash. He STEP

as the mozo plunged forward from the
