CHAPTER vI-continued.

1t dawned upon Johns mind that his
escape must have been discovered.
and the overseer sent out by Squire
Granger to arouse any neighboring
camp, that searching parties might
scour the neighborhood.
Perhaps the man shrewdly suspect
ed that John would return to the scene
of his capture, divining that he had
some object in visiting the deserted
mansion OF old Fletcher Ridgeway.
Men were soon securing the gardens
and passing among the trees. They
entered into the spirit of the game
with great zest, joking and laughing
as they thrust bayonet or sword into
each and every clump of bushes in
reckless manner, not at all conducive
to the peace of mind of the man for
whom they were searching.
1t was too late for John to retreat
since his movements must be seen
He realized the desperation of his po-
sition. and the probable fate that
awaited him upon discovery.
There was a slender chance that he
might reach the house. fringe of
trees offered slight encouragement in
this line, and he Immediately endeav-
~pred to make the most of the oppor-
0unity.
In order to further the deception
John secured a three-foot splinter of
wood, and with this he made sundry
savage thrusts into bushes, and
showed considerable enthusiasm in
the hunt for the hiding Yankee.
All seemed to be going well and he
had almost reached the house undis-
turbed when an accident occurred that
was not down on the bills, and upset
his plans.
Not seeing a trooper crawling under
some bushes, John made a iab with
his pointed stick. There followed a
shout of rage, and a human cyclone
descended upon him, with arms flying
like fails and believing voice de-
manding satisfaction.
John was disgusted seeing dscov-
cry in this incident. Heemight st!ll

show in something like maturity the
traits for which he was afterward
famous. He knew every boy in school

His reputation in this respect

He himself related that he was ac-

REDWOOD TREE HARD TO KILL
Has Given Proof of Wonderful Vital
ity and ReproductiVeness.

An Illustration of the wonderful!
vitality and reproductiveness OF the
redwood is reported from uliiah as
existing in the forests of MendociEo
county. 1t consists of the trunk oil Il
redwood tree felled for the manufac-
ture of shingles, which. after lying
on the ground undisturbed for several
months, sprouted number of young
trees whose roots had developed in
its own body This development is
enormously reported, however, as the
first case on record where redwood
completely severed from the stump
has produced new growth. Instances
have been frequently recorded OF feiled
redwood trunks reproducing a growth
of young timber all along The line OF the
PROSTATE log. and travellers through
the coast forests have frequently OBJ
served the phenomenon OF rows OF
well-developed trees growing out OF
the bodies of those that have lain long
enough en- the earth to perish and
decay. Some years ago newspaper
CORRESPONDENT reported the strange
phenomenon of new redwood growth
on a bridge built of redwood logs
across Humboldt county stream.
The sides of this bridge consisted of
two large redwoods, which had been
felled so that the ends rested in the
soil on each bank. All along the up
per side of each log row Of sturdy
redwood saplings developed shortly
after the bridge had been finished,
proving that life was not eXtinguished
in either, although totally severed
from the original stumps. -San Ffal-

Crockett Ridgeway was a cousin of
his. They had not met since boys to-

love lost between them.
He shut his teeth hard and waited
for what new developments the case
would show. A short consultation en-
sued among the Confederate officers.
