JO) mother calling from the back
porch, and Bob, who had been
cooking up a perfectly glorious plan
for the afternoon, left Roy White re-
luctantly and went to see what his
mother wanted.
Mother was standing on the porch
dressed for a walk. "Boh dear, I've
Just had word that Mrs. Holbrook has
been taken very Ill. I must 20 to her
at once, she is all alone, and there Is
no one to whom she can turn. You witt
take care of Rose, won't you, Bob? She
mustn't 60 outdoors, SO I will have TO
ask you to amuse her In the house.
And, o Bob, do look after the kitchen
fire, please"
She was gone before Bob could an
swer. she was SO anxious she did not
even say she was sorry that Bob would
have to give up his long looked-for Sat
urday afternoon, which he could have
all to himself. All the spring there had
been so much to do about the garden
that he really hadn't had a minute to
do as he pleased in, and now that old
Mrs. Holbrook had to 60 and get sick
just to spoil his fun. Mother was al
ways trotting off to take care Of pea-
pie that didn't belong to her! He
wished she would consider his pleasure
sometimes. He went in and banged
the door hard, and helped himself to a
freshly baked, heavily sugared tumble
from the big trayful on the kitchen ia

Rose, who had had long siege of
whoeping cough-(such a foolish dis
ease, Bob thought) was cutting out
pictures at the dining-room table. She

and the results showed conclusively
that waves actually were set up at
the boundary line between the two
liquids.
Further experiments were made to
verify the sudden loss Of speed due to
dead water. The boat model was drawn
across the tank and the towing string
suddenly slackened when the boat was
about half way across. In cases where
the tank contained salt water only the
boat stopped gradually. moving some
boat lengths after the towing string
had been slackened. When the tank
contained layer Of fresh water rest
ing on salt water, on the other hand,
the boat slackened speed quite sudden
ly and moved only very short dis
lance. These experiments, carried out
on small scale, prove conclusively
that the difficulties encountered within
a dead water zone are really due to the
resistance experienced by the vessel in
generating invisible waves at the fresh
water-salt water boundary, although In
some particular cases the influence of
undercurrents must also, doubtless, be
taken into account.

1t was getting late in the afternoon,
and with a great effort he turned his
face homeward As he looked toward
his home, which was almost out of
sight, he saw a big, golden blaze.

DRY Of his mothers warning to look
after the fire. He turned suddenly
faint. What If the house was on fire
and Rose was burned to death! She
would not stir from that chair when
she had promised 'honor bright" He
flew like the wind up the road, bending
his head and speeding as he had so Of
ten done in racing with the boys. His
fright made his swift. He did not stop
for anything, but went -on-on
with the horrible fear in his heart.
He hardly dared look up till he was
almost home, then he gave gasp of
relief. The fire was nothing more nor
less than the setting sun blazing on the
upper windows.
He stole softly into the house. There
was poor little Rose, her head on her
arms. She was talking to herself.
II hope muffin dreadful has happened
to my darling Brother Bob. He said
he would come back In minute, and

rhE SONG He MADE.

He lived his lowly life apart
katent upon the things above,
And gave his heart to love and art,
And strevs through art to tell his love.
And when he felt the cruel ache
That robs Of strength the brave and
strong,
He braced his soul for manhood's sake.
And put his courage In = song.
Like some storm breastiny bird, that
scars
And sings above the clouds and rain,
And on the under world outpours
A song Of triumph over painl
The song was meant for him alone,
He had no thought Of others need,
But far and wide the sound was blown,
And all who needed strength gave heed.

tie girl named Rose, but she looked up
happily when Bob entered.
'Hi Bobby" she said in her jolly lit
tie chuckle. "You has to be my Muv-
yer this day. Halo, Muvver Bob!"
Bob had to smile. well, kidlet,
what do You want to do most Of all? Go

"No. I'm tired of that. What
want to do most Is to write a story for
the Children's Page bout my Moses.
You must write 1t, an I'll tell you
what to write. She Is the most cum
ningest kitten that ever was. She does
more funny things than that kittie you

Bob went for paper and pencil, which
he put down beside Rose, and Moses
climbed up beside her to see what was
going on.
Suppose you begin the story while
I run out and tell Roy can't go hunt

''How long?" asked Rose, anxiously.
"Oh, minute or two, you can write
on the paper, but don't get down out
Of your chair"
"All right, 1 won't, honor bright,
said Rose, and Bob knew she always
did what she promised, especially when
she said "honor bright"
Its a plagued shame" said Roy
when Bob told him. Cant you tie her
up somehow, and come on for a little

LINcoLN's FAIRNESS.

1t Was One Of His Strongest TraitHs
Governing Every Action of Ldfs.
General Taylor was triumphantly
elected, and it then became Lincoln's
duty, as Wing member Of Congress from
Illinois, to recommend certain persons
to fill government Offices in that State.
He did this after he returned to Spring
field, for his term in Congress ended on
March 4, 1S49, the day that General
Taylor became President. The letters
that he sent to Washington when for
wardlng the papers and applications Of
people who wished appointment were
both characteristic and amusing; for
in his desire not to mislead or to do
injustice to any man, they were very
apt to say more in favor of the men
he did not wish to see appointed than
In recommendation of his own partlc-
ular candidates.
This absolute and impartial fairness
to friend and foe alike was one Of his
strongest traits, governing every action
of his life II 1t had not been for this,
he might possibly have enjoyed another
term in Congress, for there had been
talk of re-electing him. In spite Of his
confession to Speed that being elected
to Congress, though I am very grateful
to our friends for having done It, has
not pleased me as much as expected. "
this must have been hattering. But
there were many able young men in
Springfield who coveted the honor, and
they had entered into an agreement
among themselves that each would be
content with single term. Lincoln of
course remained faithful to his prom
Use. His strict keeping of promises
caused him also to lose an appointment
from President Taylor rs Commissioner
of the General Land Office, which might
easily have been his. but for which he
had agreed to recommend some other
Illinois man. A few weeks later the
President offered to make him Governor
of the new Territory Of Oregon. This
attracted him much more than the 9th
er office. but he declined because his
wife was unwilling to live in a place 10
far away.
His career In Congress proved OF
great advantage to him in after life
having given him close knowledge al
the workings of the Federal Govern
ment, and brought him i1ito contact
with political leaders from all parts Of
| the Union.-St. Nicholas.

MYSTERY OF THE DEEP SEA.
Swedish Scientists Investigate the
Phenomena of "Dead Water"

Swedish Scientists Investigate the
Phenomena of 'Dead Water"
One of the most curious marine phe-
nomena known to seamen is that call
ed by Norwegian sailors, dead water"
which, without any visible cause, makes
a vessel lose her speed and refuse to
answer her helm. The sailors only
definite knowledge Of its origin, says
the Scotsman, Is that it exists solely
where there is a surface layer of fresh
water resting upon the salt waters of
the sea. Several explanations have
been advanced by the captains Of ships
Of the effect of dead water, the COM
monest Of which is that the two water
layers move in different directions. The
true explanation, however, was recent
ly found by Swedish Investigators. AT
least so it would seem from what fol.
lows.
The experiment carried out was an
exceedingly pretty one. A large plate
glass tank was first mounted on q
wooden frame. The tank was then fll
ed to a certain depth with salt water
and 4 layer Of fresh water was care
fully poured on to the surface, SO that
two separate water layers were OBJ
tanned. The salt water was blackene6
with liquid Chinese ink before the wa
ter layers were prepared, and in this
way the different layers were made
clearly visible. A boat model was ther
lowed along the tank and a silhouette
of the waves produced was obtained
by placing a white screen at a shor
distance behind the tank. The wave.
were also photographed by fashligh

CHAPTER XIII.

It was about four o'clock on a Satur-
day afternoon, the fifth day of our visit,
that Miss Weston and l entered 1t from
the seward side. We had taken a sharp
walk to the Bredairs Strand, where the
famous caves are situated, and were re-
turning to tea. We came upon them at
an angle Of the thicket-a man and a
woman seated on fallen log in eager
conversation. Miss Weston held up a
warning hand to me, with amusement
twinkling in her eyes.
"Oh, Mr.. Harland!" she whispered,
land at her age, too!
"Why, who was it?" asked. for their
backs were turned towards us.
Don't you see? 1t Is Martha, our
housekeeper Sne Is Ave and forty if
she is day. Fancy Martha with a young
man of her own! l wonder who 1t can
be?'
Whereupon she fairly gave way to her
merriment in a low ripple of laughter.
1t was loud enough to reach the ears of
the pair before us, for they started to
their feet, the woman facing round bold
ly with flaming cheeks, while the man,
after one swift glance, dropped back q
step and stood shamefacedly, with down
cast eyes. Miss Weston nodded to
Martha and we passed on up the track
"Oh! am very, very sorry" she
cried to me when we were out of ear
shot. IT am certain that wretched mar
is only after her savings. What silly
old dear she is!'
HE seemed about the average in bash

II "He Is one of the worst men In thu
village drunLsa loafer, who never
leaves the inn bar until he is almos
starving. l wonder at Martha, for, be
sides his reputation, she knows"
"WhatT l asked, for she had stopped
with little shiver.
"They say in the village that Penru

sort of servant to Professor Marina
while he was at Polleven. At least
know that Penruman brought us mes
! sages from him twice, and once he cam

"Was Penruman counting Marth

SARATOGA
COMMENCES
Pipe Line and Ladders Being Run 10 the
Water Level.
WORK IN SIGHT FOR BIG FORCE OF NINE S.

What has been expected and wished
for long time has actually hap
pened at last. This is the commence
ment of operations on the Saratoga mine
in lower Russell district. Monday,
steam was raised in the boilers, and sew
eral miners are busy putting in new
air pipe to the 800 foot levels where the
water now stands. Ladders are also be-
ing put in the ladder way. After this
work is completed, which will take two
or three days, the water will be tackled
with big 800 gallon bailer which will
make short work of that impediment.
The water in the mine is being slowly
drained by the Newnouse tunnel also.
In the last two months the water fell
distance OF about forty feet. 1t is now
down to the 600-foot level and the mine
is 1890 feet deep. At the same time the
shaft is being unwatered from above the
lateral in the tunnel is being driven un-
der the mine and when there, which
will be soon, raise will be made and
connection effected with the bottom of
the shaft.
The Saratoga has been one Of the
largest producers in the county in past
years, and this new activity will soon de-
mand the employment of scores Of min
ers, which will be a great help to the
county. The mine is low grade prop.
osition, but the ore and veins are in
such large quantities that, without the
water to bother the operators, it can be
made to pay handsomely. 1t is thought
that after the water is once pulled out
of the mine the drainage to the New
house tunnel, even before the connec-
tion is made, will be sufficient to keep
the mine comparatively dry. Other
properties near the Saratoga will be
helped great deal by this system of
drainage as the tunnel in unwatering
the Saratoga will drain all the surround
Ing country and make mining less ex-
pensive for the smaller mines. Many
properties now idle will be started up.
The Saratoga will be under the man.
agement of John Owen, of Idaho
