PUTTING UP DILL PICKLES.
important to Remember If You Would
Get Best Results.

Take big stone crock or keg
without a head. Select cucumbers
from six to eight inches in length,
wash and wipe carefully. Boil to-
gether three gallons water and two
pounds coarse salt. Skim. If any
water has evaporated during the boil
ing add enough more to make the ori'
ginal quantity. Lay the cucumbers
in the bottom Of the jar or keg, with
a small red pepper, q bunch of dill
seed in stalk and layer of grape
leaves to cover. Proceed in this way
until the vessel is filled, topping all
with a layer of cabbage leaves. On
the very top put good big stone to
keep the pickles under the brine. Pour
in the salt and water still hot, and let
the vessel stand until quiet fermen-
tation takes place. In two or three
weeks the cucumbers will be transpar
ent, like amber, with grateful sub
acid flavor.

the cloth, all in about 80 seconds.
But an explanations of this to Haw-
kins would. merely have precipitated
another conflict. chose what seemed
to be the, lesser evil; 1 elected to
examine the pumpless pump
The pump was just as Hawkins had
described-a thin steel ladder com
ing out of the wells black mouth,
running up to and over the shaft, and
descending into the blackness again.
When we reached it's side, it was
stationary, for the air: was; still.
"There!" cried Hawkins. "All it
needs is the buckets and the tank on
top. That idea comes pretty near t>
actual execution, Griggs, doesn't it?"
"Most Of your ideas do come pretty
near to actual execution, Hawkins, -
sighed.
"Now, look down here" he contin-
ued, leaning over the we'll with a
calm disregard of the frailty of the
human makeup, and grasping one of
the rungs of the ladder. Just look
down here, Griggs. Sixty feet deep!"
"I'll take your word for it," I said.
Il wouldn't hold on to that ladder,
Hawkins; it might take notion to
go down with YOU"
"Nonsense!" smiled the inventor.
"The gears locked. 1t can't move.
Why, look here!"
The man actually swung himself
out to the ladder and stood there. 1t
made my blood run cold.
I expected to see Hawkins, ladder,
and all shoot down into the water,
and l wondered whether Heaven
would send wind enough to hoist him
out before he drowned.
But nothing happened. Hawkins

Now, don't stand there grinding
out you cheap wit, Griggs," snapped
Hawkins How the dickens are we
going to escape being soaked?"
Down, down, down, down, went the
ladder.
"Wel," said, thoughtfully, "the
bottom usually falls out of your
schemes, Hawkins. If the bottom will
only fall out of the water department
of your pumpless pump within the
next half-minute, all will be lovely!"
"Oh, dry up!" exclaimed the in
'ventor nervously. 'Goodness! We're
half way down already"

Really, Griggs," cried the .inven-
tor, 'for such an impractical man as
yourself, that idea is remarkablef
Climb, Griggs, climb. Get about it,"
l think myself that the notion was
rather bright. If the ladder was
climbing down into the we'll, we could
climb up the ladder.
And we climbed! Good heavens,
how we did climb! 1t was simply a
perpendicular treadmill, and with the
rungs full yard apart, mighty
hard one to tread.
Every rung seemed to strain my
muscles to the breaking point; but
we kept on climbing, and we were
gaining on the ladder. We were not

with sneering triumph.
You see, Griggs," he observed
caustically, "once in a while l do
know something about my inventions.
Now, If your faint heart will allow
it, I should advise you to take peep
down here. So far as l know, it's the
only well in the State built entirely
OF white tiles. Just steady yourself
on the ladder and look.''
Like senseless boy taking dare,
reached out, gripped the rung above
Hawkins, and looked down.
Certainly it was a fine well. Inever
paid much attention to wells, but I
could see at glance that this one
was exceptional.

All my wits were centered on one
great, awful problem.
Before l could realize it and re-
lease my hold, the ladder had dropped
far enough to throw me of my bal
ance. The problem was. whether to
let go and risk dashing down sixty
feet, or to keep hold and run the very
promising chance Of a slow and chilly

myself upon the ladder, and clung
there, gasping with astonishment at
the suddenness Of the thing. ..,.. r

She had. l noticed that, far above,

perspiration from his brow. II felt
it,

I observed.

said Hawkins, waving an answer to
the observation. "Go ahead, Griggs."
l was too thankful for our near
deliverance to spend my breath on
vituperation. I reached toward the
rung above me and prepared to pull
myself back to earth. :.
And then strange thing happened.
The rung shot upward. I shot after
it. One instant was in the twilight
of the well; the next instant I was
blinded by the sun. =
Too late I realized that had as

"I-I-I didn't want to desert you

observed. 1T reveals beautiful
side of your character which I had

shortly. Are you going down first

Certainly. What else?"
II was thinking that it might be
safer, If slightly less comfortable, to
wait shere. until Patrick gets back.
He could put up a ladder-a real, old
fashioned, wooden ladder-for u.s.
Yes, and when Patrick gets back

shouted the inventor: mo, sir! You
can stay and look all the fool you

Hawkins reached gingerly with one
foot for place on the ladder. 1
looked at him, wondered whether it
would be really wicked to hurl him
into space, and looked away again,
in the direction of the woods.
My gaze travelled about mile, and
my nerves received another shock.
