CHAPTER ".
 Morning in the highest highlands of ehe Rockies, a morning clear, cold and tense, with a bell-lihe quality in the frosty air to make the cracking of a SnoW-laden fir bough resound like a pistol shot, For Denver and the dwell- CTS on the eastern plain the sun is an hour high; but the hamlet mining camp of Argentine, with it's doveeote railway station and two-pronged sid ing, still lies in the steel blue depths of the canyon shadow.
 Massive mountains, dark green to the timber line ant dazzling white above it, shut in the narrow valley to right and left A mimic torrent, ice bound in the quieter pools, drums and gurgles on its descent midway be- tween two railway embaEkments, the one to which the station and side cracks belong old and we'll settled, the other new and as yet unballasted. Just opposite the pygmy station lat Saral gorge intessects the main canyon, making deep gash in the opposing mountain bulwark, around which the new line has to find it's way by loop ing detour.
 Tn a seanty widening of the main canyon a few hundred yards below the station a graders camp of rude slab shelters Is turning out it's horde of withholding Italians; and on a crooked spur track fronting the shan ties blue wood smoke is curling lazily upward from the kitchen car of con- Struction train.
 All night long the Rosemary, drawn by the speediest of mountain climbing locomotives, had stormed onward and upward from the valley of the Grand, through black defiles and around the shrugged shoulders of the mighty peaks to find resting-place in the white-robed dawn on the siding at Ar genuine. The lightest of sleepers, Vir- ginia had awakened when the special was passing through Carbonate; and drawing the berth curtain she had lain for hours watching the solemn process sion of cliffs and peaks wheeling ln stately and orderly array against the inky background of sky. Now, in the steel-blue dawn, she was-or thought she was-the first member of the par ty to dress and steal out upon the railed platform to look abroad upon the wondrous scene in the canyon.

startled me!

It was MT. aomerville Darrah again. clothed upon and in his right mind; otherwise the mind of a master of men who will brook neither defeat at the hands of an antagonist nor disobe- dience on the part of his following. He was scowling fiercely across at the Utah activities when she spoke, but at her exclamation the frown softened into smile for his favorite niece.
 Startled you, eh? Pahdon me, my deah Virginia. But as I am about to startle someone else, perhaps you would better go in to your aunt''
 She put her hand on his arm Please let me stay out here, Uncle Somerville," she said. "I'll be good and not get in the way"
 He shook his head, rather in depre- cation than refusal.
 An officer will be here right soon now to mane an arrest. There may be a fight, or at least trouble of sort you wouldn't care to see, my deah."
 "Is it-is it Mr. Winton?" she asked.
 He nodded.
 What has he been doing-besides being The Enemy?'"
 The Rajahs smile was ferocious.
 Just now he is trespassing, and di recting others to trespass, upon pri- vate property. Do you see that dump up there on the mountain ?-the hole that looks like a mouth with a long gray beard hanging below it? That is mine, and it's claim runs down across the track where Misteh Winton is just now spiling his rails''
 But the right of way; I don't un- derstand,' she began; then she stopped short and clung to the strong arm. A man in a wide-happed hat and cow boy chapparajoes, with revolver on either hip, was crossing the stream on the ice bridge to scramble up the en- bankment of the new line.
 "The officer?" she asked, in an awed whisper.
 The Rajah made sign of assent Then, identifying Winton in the throng of workers, he forgot Virginias pres- ence. "Confound him!" he tuned I'd give a thousand dollars if he'd faveh me by showing fight, so we could lock him up on criminal count"
 Why, Uncle Somerville!" she cried.
 But there was no time for reproach- l es. The leather-breeched person mas querading as the Argentine town mar shal had climbed the embankment, and singling out his man was reading his warrant.

ing her share of the militant quality which made her uncle what he is, she stood her ground.
 Aren't you a1raid you will take cold, Uncle Somerville?" she asked, archly; and the Rajah came suddenly to a sense of his incompleteness and went in to finish his ablutions against the opening of the battle actual.
 At first Virginia thought she would follow him. When Mercury Jastrow should return with the officer of the law there would be trouble of some sort, and the woman in her shrank from the witnessing of it. But at the same instant the blood of the fighting Carterets asserted itself and she re- solved to stay.
 'I wonder what uncle hopes to be able to do?" she mused Will a little town constable with bit of signed paper from some justice of the peace be mighty enough to stop all that fu- rious activity over there? It's more than ineredible.
 From that she fell to watching the activity and the orderly purpose of it. A length of steel, with men clustering like bees upon it, would slide from it's place on the hand-car to fall with a frosty clang on the cross ties In- stantly the hammermen would bounce upon 1t. One would fall upon hands and knees to sight" it into place: two others would slide the squeaking track gauge. along it's inner edge; quar- tette, working like the component parts of faultless mechanism, would tap the fixing spikes into the wood: and then at a signal a dozen of the heavy pointed hammers swung aloft and rhythmic volley of resounding blows elamped the rail into perma- hence on it's wooden bed.
 Ahead of the steel layers were the Italians placing the cross ties in posi- tion to receive the track, and here the forman's badge of office and scepter was a pick handle. Above all the elamor and the shoutings Virginia could hear the bull-bellow of this fore man roaring out his commands-in terms happily not understandable to her; and once she drew back with a little cry of womanly shrinking when the pick handle thwacked upon the shoulders of one who Jagged.
 It was this bit of brutality which enabled her to single out Winton in the throng of workers. He heard the blow, and the oath that went with it, and she saw him run forward to wrench the bludgeon from the bully's hands and fling it afar What words emphasized the act she could not hear. but the little deed of swift justice thrilled her curiously, and her heart warmed to him as it had when he had thrown off his coat to fall to work on the derailed engine of the Limited. /"
 That was fne!" she said to herself. Most men in his place wouldn't care, so long as the work was done, and done quickly. I wonder if-oh, you

Canada Thistles are difficult to eradicate because they spread by means of underground root stalks. Cutting off the missiles repeatedly just below the surface of the ground is the best way to get rid of them, but this must be kept up. A boy with a sharp hoe can cut off many hundreds of them in an hour.

The wagons call twice or three times
week for the victims, and 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to see two tons Of birds await
ing transportation at one time.
The law is fagrantly violated by these
professional hunters. The Oregon law
allows but fifty ducks a week, the Cali
fornia law fifty a day for each hunter.
Both Lower Klamath and Tule lakes are
crossed by the Oregon California border
Hunters in Oregon simply embark with
their ducks and pull across the California
line on those rare occasions when a
deputy game warden comes into the dis
trict.
The bird life in the klamath country
was until recently threatened with exter-
mination by hunters of grebes and other
birds valuable for their plumage. Ii Is
not so many years ago that the spectacle
of $4,000 worth of grebe skins In one pile
was seen In Klamath county. Grebes in
those days we're plentiful around the
shores of Lower Klamath and TUE lakes.
With the help of the Audubon societies
there has been a lnll in the warfare
against them and the grebes are not now
diminishing In number. For two seasons
they have been comparatively unmolested.
There are many rare and striking birds
in the Oregon California border country.
Among them are two or three species of
tern. including Forster's variety; the
white crane the little known great blue
heron and the big breasted pelican.
Among all of these the professional
hunter has caused devastation.
Until two years ago the Forster's tern
was in danger of determination. The in
telligence of the tern is not at all COM
mensurate with its beauty, and ages of

Hounds Run Animal to Cover and In.
dian Kills 1t With Stone.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
A better illustration of the primitive
methods of the Choctaw Indian hunters
could not be given than the following
story, as told by eye witnesses of the
feat:
A squad of huntsmen had been hunting
nearly six hours one day. just before the
first fall of snow The mountains and
valleys were covered by heavy frost
A deer which had evidently been shot
had just passed down the mountain and
headed for the creek half mile below
The hunters followed the scent as fast as
possible.
Reaching the heavy growth OF brush
and trees which swept the bank of the
stream, they saw a young Indian riding
right toward the creek Several hounds
were baying, and when they approached
closer they saw that the dogs had run
the deer to cover. He was a beauty, and
presented a grand sight as he backed into
the creek from the great red rocks, with
the pack of hungry Indian dogs following
him and barking loudly. The Indian
quickly sprang from his pony and picked
up a stone about the size of baseball.
He drew back deliberately. just like a
crack baseball pitcher. and then hurled
the stone through the air.
II struck the deer squarely between the
eyes and down the animal fell in foot
Of water Like cat. Quick Eye as the
Indian was called. rushed to its side and
pulled the dogs off. The stone had done
its work. As though ii was usual oc-
eurrence. the Indian picked up the car
cass. tossed # over his shoulder and car
ried It 10 his horse. after which he rode
toward his home.
