CA STORY of THE LIVES OF
| INHABITANTS OF THE FOREST

S the summer drew past It's full
n there crept over all the Ring
waak country severe and alto
gether phenomenal drought. For weeks
there was no rain, and ell day the in
exorable sun sucked up the moisture.
The streams shrank, the wells in the
settlement grew scant and rolled, the
forest pools dried up, leaving tangles
of coarse. prostrate weeds and ugly
spaces of scum incrusted mud. Under
this mud before It dried, the water in
sects and larvae and small crustaceans
buried themselves in despairing dis
gust
with this travail of inaminate ma
ture all the furred and feathered life
of the wild suffered in sympathy. The
sitting and devitalized air set their
nerves on edge as 1t were.
with certain of the animals, indeed,
this state of overtense nerves went the
length of a kind of madness, till they
would run amuck and blindly attack
creatures whose wrath they could not
hope to Withstand for a moment. For
example, bear, shufFling sulldly down
to seek wallowing place in some
shrunken pool of the brook, was met
by a redeyed, open jawed mink. which
darted at his nose in a parsxysm Of
insane fury The little maniac chung
to the big beasts tender snout till it
was battered and torn to pieces. Then
the bear, injured and furious, hurried
to the brook to bury his bleeding muz-
zle in the wet mud for the drawing out
of the poison and the assaugement of
the pain. The blood of bear not be-
ing very susceptible to such poisons, he
was soon none the worse for the
strange assault, but some other ami
mails in a like case would probably have
found themselves inoculated with the
assailant's madness.
An Unexpected Meeting
Another instance of the sinister in
f1uence at work throughout the wilds
occurred to the Boy. He was moving
in his noiseless fashion along an old,
mossy road, his bright eyes taking in
every detail of the shadowy world,
when he saw a small yellow weasel run
ming directly toward him. Instantly he
stopped. stiffened himself to the still
ness of stump and waited in keen
curiosity to see what the weasel was up
to. He was not long left in doubt. AL
most before he could realize what was
happening the sulky little beast had
reached his feet, and with gnashing
teeth and blazing eyes darted straight
up his leg. 1t had almost gained his
throat-its evident object-before he re-
gained his wits enough to strike it to
the ground with a blow of his hand.
In flash, however, it was back at
him again, with virulence of malice
that filled the Boys ordinarily gentle
soul with rage. AS he again dashed it
down, this time with all his strength.
he sprang forward simultaneously and
caught it under his foot as 1t touched
the earth. Then, with a savage salts

LABOR IMPORTED.

Mr. BrouehtOn Brandenburg, who is
an authority on matters pertaining
TO immigration, contributes to the cur
rent Harper's Weekly a striking ar
ticle on the widespread disregard of
the contact-labOr law of immigrants,
TO the serious detriment of American
workmen Despite the alien contract
labor law" says Mr.. Brandenburg.
NEARLY one thousand laborers arrived
in McKeesport, Pa, direct from Eu-
rope one day this spring, and went di-
rcctly to work in the tube mills What
were the law-breaking agencies that
delivered GO young Greeks In a body
to the Fall River mills in April?"
These and other concrete instances
are alleged by Mr.. Brandenburg to
prove that the law excluding contract
alien labor is being evaded by tens of
thousands of immigrants, "aided and
abetted by relatives, employment
agents, padrones. and employers in
this country"
