Blake looked him peculiarly. You can do
what you like, he answered shortly
Il" said MAYNARD. DO YOU mean we not be
partners any longer"
No good in II, is there:" demanded Blake
irritably
Il thought | felt this coming" said MAYNARD
quietly. Things couldn have gone on as they were
when we left New York together"
Going to get sentimental? said Blake - If you
are, you can cut mine out.
No" replied his partner III not get senti-

They went. The five hundred dollars that Blake
had mentioned was there 1t was his. He had saved
the sum ike miser to meet some such moment
OF demand paper signed by himself and
Maynard. conveying their title in the lease to Fol
thousand dollars, money almost entirely supplied
by Maynard passed to the secret ownership of
Blake alone.
Blake had disappeared temporarily from Gold
Circle camp, and now for fourteen days Val Nav
nard had wandered in the huge desolation of noun
talns common prosPector searching the hills for
iii-fed. ''''''' 1'''-''p'' anu
This evening he plodded toward a temporary
stopping place he the top of a rock-grt
ridge where he halted YEARLY The suns last rays
laid upon him, molding him out against the
sky in ruddy coOring. Below where his pack animal
should be tethered TO clump of brush there
nothing to be The man hastened down to the
place at once and came upon trodden circle where
the burfo had tracked the sand but the
gone.
Utterly disheartened, MAYNARD hesitated for a
moment; then, determining to track the little donkey
and overtake him, If possible, he further dis
turbed discover that the burro had struck off
westward into the range, and not toward the camp
by the spring, eight miles below Half hour later
moreover, the shadows suddenly overwhelmed the
mountain world. MAYNARD could see the burro's
tracks no longer nevertheless. he haStened forward
till the utter hopelessness OF the situation finally
thrust itself upon him. He was hungry, wearied,
and half famshed for water. He drank the last half
cuDful from his can. then plunged directly south
ward, return to his sprlng-sde camp.
At the end OF two hours of stumbling and climb
ing in the darkness, Maynard realized that he was
lost Utter WEAKNESS and encouragement descended
upon him together. He sank upon the earth and
slept till the sunrise aroused him, a few hours
later Then he started afresh on his quest for the
camp.
III the heat that engulfed the range of mountains
the man was possessed of maddenIng thirst while
still the morning was young He had utterly aban-
donad all thoughts of redscovering his camp; his
one concern was water. At noon, with the suns

staggered to the top of a ridge from which he ex-
Dected 70 obtain a view OF canons IN all directions.

rock and stared far down TO valley
"A desert-flattened out between this
range OF peaks and the mountains
thirty miles beyond. In all its desolate
eXpanSe there was not SO much as a
single tree or blade OF growing grass.
Maynard gazed in fascination on this
terrible plain. Then his eve caught
at something's small white comet,
making the transit of that gray flat
space. Its head was dust and its tail
was dust. 1t was made by a team of
horses and wagons, freighting neces-
sites of life across the land TO Gold
Circle camp, far to the southwark.
Ahead of its course ran Maynard 5

GoING BACK TO sAssAFRAs.

Some of the Texas brethren are dis | cussing the merits of sassafras tea, arguing that with proper effort 1t can be made to take the place of the teas that we buy. and may also be used in place of coffee with benefit to both health and pocket. Few country raised people. at least, need to be told of this beverage, and many of the townspeo- pie are by no means ignorant of its good qualities.
 In the old days in the country there was hardly anything more popular as a table beverage in the spring than the tea made of the red sassafras roots Doctors were not so numerous or ob- talnable then as now, and the thous- ands of kinds of patent medicines which cure all human ailments were then al- most unknown to the country dwellers. Then 1t was the universal belief among the mothers that to drink sassafras tea Ill the spring would thin and purify the blood and prepare the younger peo- | pie, especially, to resist the diseases of the summer season. While 1t may be possible that the virtues and medicinal qualities of sassafras root were over rated 1t Is beyond doubt that the mod ei ate use of the tea was beneficial It
 was best when the roots were dug in
 the latter part of the winter before the
 rising of the sap. The red variety was
 most In demand, though some used the
 white kind. Then, too, some dig It at I if Ia Aas ba nfS
 are taken up before they are filled ,wlth sap. That 1t makes a pleasant
 and refreshing drink Is beyond dis
 pute, and 1t Is equally indisputable | that 1t possesses some valuable medl-
 cinal qualities.
 The Dallas News thinks that 1t is not very crcditable to us that we an nually spend many millions of dollars | for imported teas ard coffee, when all over the South there grows wild d plant from which there can be brewed | a delicious, invigorating beverage be- yond comparison with any of the cost | ly imported drinks" So far as Ala bema is concerned this statement is but partially correct. So much of the | VIC Odland nGS been cleared. ana So much of the sassafras has been other wise destroyed that 1t Is not at all plentiful like 1t once was. One some what peculiar thing about it. however. Is that whenever land is uncultivated for a few years this bush will spring up and thrive, as can be seen in almost any old field in the country.
 One great obstacle in the way of gem praI use of this tea Is that only the roots can be used and digging them will soon destroy the tree. If 1t were an annual that could be planted and harvested every year 1t would not be ! difficult to always have supply. but while the plants will grow up in few years sufficiently large to begin to sup ply roots. the young tree will be soon destroyed if the roots are taken up in- discriminatory. We suppose that 1t l would not be difncult for a person in
 the country to set apart a few acres. and by planting new trees as the old ones are used up, keep a supply always on hand. There would be profit in 1t. we should think. and then we might

But 1t IS nearly always a fact. that. when the night cat takes a stroll and plays the troubadour, 1t performs underneath someope elses window.

Reform the Reformern.

An old line Democrat was talking the other day about the many so-called reform movements now in progress. He is of the opinion that some of the reformers themselves are in need of reformation and he recalls a story of Vicar Brumby, a somewhat noted Eng fish clergyman in his day. Dr. Brum- by was incumbent of a church in Hull at the time the first reform bill was passed In Parliament. One day he preached a sermon in which he uttered this wholesale Socratic passage: Tn these days we hear great deal about reform. Let me give you a piece of ad- vice: The best reform is to mako one person better. I need not say who that person should be-"

The indications are that the great divorce decision by the Supreme Court of the United States has left things tn more confused condition in some respects than they were before, It will se remembered that in the case of Had sock and wife, of New York, a divorce was obtained in Connecticut. New York has peculiar laws on the subject and the courts of that State declared that the divorce was invalid, and it would be bigamy for the divorced per ion to marry in New York, and the Su- preme Court held that the State courts were correct in invalidating the d. ycrce proceedings.
 Yet that divorce is perfectly valid in Connecticut. ss 1t would be in almost bvery other State of the Union. If the ilvorced person should marry again in New York he or she would be guilty pf bigamy and the children of such marriage would be illegitimate, but If The second marriage should occur in Ilmost any other State 1t would be valid and the children would be legi- tlmate. See how this would and will operate. Mir. Brown and wife. we will say, are residents of New York State. They remove to another State. becom, actual citizens of 1t, and are there di- vorced. Each marries again and chill dren are-6orn to them. If they remain in Connecticut the marriages are legal and the children legitimate. If they remove to another State the divorce and remarriage are recognized as valid and binding. but if they return to New York they are bigamists and their chill dren bastards. What is more. the children born in another State are legi- tlmate but any that are born in New York are illegitimate. 4 child born in one State would be lawful heir while one born in New York would have no legal standing
 These are some of the results of our illogical and confusing marriage and divorce laws, and the conditions cer- tainly call for a remedy. There are many and strong objections to having the Federal government interfere with the subject There are many who ad- vocate taking the subject entirely away from the individual States and letting the national government enact and en- force marriage and divorce laws and regulations for all the States While this would remove the uncertainty. con fusion and clashes which now cause so much trouble, and while 1t would make marriage or divorce obtained in any State legal and valid in all the States or Territories. There are objections to the plan not the least of which Is the sound argument that each State should have the right to regulate such do- niestic affairs in its own way What ought to be done. and what conld be done. Is for every State in the Union to recognize as valid the marriage and divorce laws and regulations of every other State. Persons who are married in one-State ought to be legal husband and wife Tn any other State Persons who are divorced in one State should be protected by the laws of any other State to which they may remove. This could be done and 1t could save much trouble and injustice.

Exportu from esulf Ports.

St. LOUIS RepupllCs
 The growing importance of the gulf ports for the shipment-of Western pro- duce is gathered from a statement re- gently issued by the department of commerce. For ten months ending with April. Galveston. New Orleans and Mo- bile exported $30,000, 900 worth of bread stuffs. against $3.0o0.000 worth for all tht Chesapeake ports. Including Balti- more, and $37.o00.O00 worth for New York. New York's lead is readily ac- counted for by the advantage it has in the cheap water route. through the lakes and the Erie Canal, which also give her not little wheat from the Canadian fields. With a deep water way from Chicago 70 the mouth Of the Mississippi, New Orleans. which contributes $1e.5o0.o00 to the above to- tai of $$30.Oo0.0o0 for the three gulf ports, would in all likelihood excel New York in the shipments of breadstuffs and other Western produce.

A recent isse of American Indus tries has some interesting figures re- garding denatured alcohol. The inter- nal revenue tax in the United States is s11o per gallon. and that added to the cost of making it renders 1t much too high to be used for industrial and mechanical purposes. In Germany, where there is no tax. it can be bought for thirteen cents per gallon. and in Cuba 1t sells from twelve to fifteen cents gallon. Some authorities say that If the tax is removed the time will soon come up when it can be made here at not exceeding ten cents gal Ion. It is claimed to be one of the safest and best substitutes for gaso- line that has ever been tried.
