few days off; it falls on Saturday,
Novem Der 10. After that it will be
lawful to kill deer and moose for
twenty days, or until November
80. No caribou can be lawfully
killed, as they are protected by
the game law.
Many of the local hunters are
aging their plans to get out after
The deer and moose, and the
hunters from more distant points
outside the state will be heading
in this direction IN few days
now, so that they may have
plenty of t me in which to get
located before the first day of
shooting.
The reports which have been
received here are t. the effec,
that there are more encouraging
signs this fall than for many
years past in The nun Der of deer
that are Still inbabiting the north
country. Deer and moose are
reported to be quite numerous,
although advices are t) the effect
that moose have practically
deserted some regio Is vine 6
they were fairly numerous for
five or six years. The influx OF
settlers has driven them farther
into the interio.,, never toretup.
Deer are not so partic ular as t1
who their neighbors are, and are
to be found adjacent to every
Town in the north half IF the
state. =5=
Probably the best moose
country in the entire state is
north and northeast of Bemid il,
especially in the vicinity OF
Northome and the towns north
Of there along the line of the M
& |. railway, and east of the rail
way in the Big and Little Fork
territory. The country about
Red lake is also the home Of
moose, and many large ones have
cen killed there. This country
is all easily reached from Be
midi, and this city will be the
headquarters for many hunting
parties this fall.
The law relative to killing deer
and moose is the same this wear
as last. Each hunter il allowed
two deer and one NAL. moose,
and three days after the close of
the season is allowed in which to
bring in game. The shipment
of game out of the state is pro-
hibited, except in such cases
where it is accompanied by a
nonresident hunter, with his
license.
Relative t, licenses for hunt.
ing: A license is required of
any person hunting small game
in county other than that in
which he resides, and anyone
must in all cases have q license
to hunt big game (deer and
moose) at any time and any place.

The body of Henry Buenther,
the etaxidermist who was drowned
in Trout lake, arrived in the city
last night from Tower, and was
accompanied by Frank johnson,
who was with Buenther when the
accident occurred.
Johnson has been greatly af-
fected by the deplorable affair,
and says, concerning the move
ments Of Buenther and himself:
81 had been out in Dakota for
several weeks, and returned to
Bemldji October 8. I own a
claim between the Rapid river
and upper Red Lake, not far
from where Buenther's claim is
located, and [ have trapped and
hunted for several years on his
claim, and have been with him
many times.

across Trout lake.
The wind had been blowing
rather strong and soon after we
got on the water it became
stronger and the waves rolled
high. Much water went into the

And can't look out at the factory wall forty

He stopped and regarded his hands, the pecu-
liar appearance of which we all had observed.
The ends Of the fingers were uncommonly thick;
they were red and swollen, and the knuckles
were curiously marked with deep white scars.
"Well, sir, there wasn't anything at all in the
dungeon, but they gave me blanket, and put
me on bread and water. That's all they ever
give you in the dungeon. They bring the bread

once in twenty minutes.
A plague-spot which few people but sailors
the English Channel. This is not a shoal or rock;
the fury of the sea itself constitutes the danger
and the much-talked-of maelstrom itself is far
less perilous.
The Race is caused by what is called an over
fall the result of the powerful Channel tides
sweeping over the Shambles Bank and then en-
countering sudden drop in the seabotton, and
the effect is that of Niagara Rapids, multiplied
a few times in the open sea and the track of
ships Vessels have gone down here in single
tide during heavy weather, and the last big ship
to suffer was the Georgian, fine American steel
sailing-bark, which foundered with all hands.
OCEAN GRAVEYARD WASHED ASHORE.
Sable Island is British lying off Sable Cape
in Nova Scotia very near the track of vessels
bound to New York from Europe, and the hid
den shoals run out for miles. They form a
sort OF DEVILS hand, stretched out to pick up
unwary ships, and one of the chief dangers is
the enormous drift of the gales, which, sweeping
over 5000 miles, send a sea home on the sands
that would break up the British Navy in an
hour if il ran ashore there. Liners, traders
brgs, fishing vessels all are fish TO the Sable
Island net and few lives can be saved, owing to
the surf and the distance from shore.
Eleven vessels have been wrecked here in a
single day. and sometimes, after the scour of an
easterly gale, dead mems bones are washed up
ON the beaches as II real graveyard had been
laid bare by the sea.

and refused to fall in. The warden said, Drop
that and fall in | told him wouldn't fall in.
| said hadn't run double, that hadn't got my
extra and that would stay there till died be-
fore I would be robbed of it. He asked the
captain if there wasn't some mistake and the
captain looked at his book and said there was no
mistake; he said he remembered me when
came up and got the tobacco and he saw me fall
into the new line, but he didn't me get back
in the old line The warden didn't ask the other
men if they saw me get my tobacco and slip
back into the old line He just ordered me to
fall in told him | would die before | would
do that. I said / wanted my just dues and no
more, and | asked him to call on the other men
in line to prove that I hadn't been up.
''He said, That's enough OF this He sent
all the other men to the cells, and left me stand
ing there. Then he told two guards to take me
to the cells They came and took hold of me,
Then more guards came up, and one of them hit
me over the head with a club, and fell. And
then sir"-here the cohvict's voice fell to "a
whisper-"and then he told them to take me to
the dungeon
The sharp steady glitter of the convict's eyes
failed and he hung his head and looked despairing-
ly at the floor.
''Go on" said the chairman
''They took me to the dungeon, sir Did you
ever see the dungeon?Y

The cold steady gleam returned to the convict S
eyes as he fixed them again upon the chairman.

Terrors Which Trap the Most Careful Mariner

enormous network of sands, filling some hun
dreds of square miles of sea, with only narrow
deep-water channels between them, pick up more
ships than any other.
Sand is always more dangerous than rocks,
on account of its great extent, and the absence
of warning that it is there, when covered by the
tide. Sunken sand is nearly as bad pavement,
and will break tall ships back like a carrot
in a gale of wind, Just as it cracked splendid
bark of 1900 tons on the Long Sand last year,
in this very district, breaking her in two halves
right amidships.
So bad is this Thames-mouth tract that in the
Admiralty wreckcharts the black spots that
mark the wrecks are so numerous that they can
not be got in, in places, without touching each
other, and look like black mass

vanished, and never heard Of. 1t was on the
Kentish Knock, too, that the great liner Deutsch-
land was totally wrecked. Those who complain
when ship is lost there that the longshoremen
do not go to the rescue in their hggers, imagine
the Knock Sand to be sort of beach somewhere
on the Kent coast. The Knock, as a fact, lies
twenty-eight miles from the nearest land, or
farther than Calais is from Dover, and when a
shin strikes on il she has no lifeboat or lugger
nearer her than Margate nearly thirty miles to
the south. Those aboard the stricken vessel find
il a death-trap indeed. Many dripping ghost
may well haunt the Kentish Knock, for 1t is a
cemetery OF ships and men.

"Well, after you refused to go to work what
did the warden do?"
The convict, although tremendous excitement
must have surged and boiled within him, slowly
deliberately, and weakly came to his feet. He
placed his hight foot on the chair, and rested
his right elbow on the raised knee. The index
finger of his right hand, pointing to the chair

narrative, was the only thing that modified the
rigid immobility of his figure. Without single
