Mss CLARA HEINTz, beautiful young society woman of Los Angeles, has de- termined to spend year or more in missionary work in Alaska, and even now may be on her way down the Yu- kon. She is friend of Miss Clara Carter, who will have charge of the hospital at the new mission established on the koyukuk recently by Archdea- con Stuck. When Miss Heintz was bidding Miss Carter goodbye week ago she suddenly determined to accom- pany her, and within an hour was on the ocean, without bidding her parents goodbye.

Animated Nature Far North.

According to the reports of some of the koowuk natives, says the Point Hope correspondent of the Nome Mug get, lynx are very fond of hawks, and have their own methods of capturing those birds. They dig q hole in the snow and then crouch down in it, leav- ing only a small portion of their tail exposed. The small stump of tail k then vigorously shaken.

JUSTICE WILL FINALLY BE DONE.

There has never been trial as inn portant, in a good many respects, as that which was begun against Haywood in Idaho June 5.
 In opening the case, the prosecuting attorney said he would undertake to show that the killing of ex-Governor Steunenberg was by Harry Orchard, deliberately set that task by Hayward secretary of the Western Federation of Miners.
 Then it would be shown the jury that the terrible crime of blowing up the railroad station at Independence was the work of Steve Adams, he also being set the task by the accused-Haywood as secretary of the miners.
 In his position as secretary, the pros- ecuting attorney said, it was for Hay wood to keep in touch with everything that was being done to strike terror into the hearts of the opposing factions; and it would be conclusively shown the jury that crime after crime committed in Idaho and neighboring states could be easily traced back to the accused secre- tary.
 Harry Orchard, June 6, gave testi- mony that must seemingly strengthen the states case. He told of many of the most wanton murders that he had committed under orders from Haywood.
 But it cannot be forgotten that Or chard is d self-coniessed fend. He may be swearing false.
 It can scarcely be said that Haywood and Mover and Pettibone have de- meancd themselves like bloody assas- sins, and it is common knowledge that millions of men have believed them innocent.
 The state cannot afford to make a mistake; for the truth will be known, by thousands if not by the world at large, by the time these Idaho trials are concluded, and justice will finally be done.

Have Returned to Same Tree p Years
-13 Nests at One Time.
st. Nicholas-A place of rare inter-
est to bird lovers in Michigan is a
great blue heron's nesting place ten
miles west of Battle Creek on the
north bank OF the Kalamazoo river.
1t is notable because there are now
only a few nesting places Of this
handsome and majestic bird left in
that state. 1t is still more notable
from the fact that the few others are
in inaccessible swamps, while this one
is on dry ground, only short dis
lance from an interurban electric line,
and can be reached without difficulty.
Great blue herons are home lovers
and become so attached to the place
OF their birth that they always return
to the same nesting place and even
the same tree. They have been
known to nest in one place for fifty
years. This colony has nesteu on the
Kalamazoo river for twenty-five
years.
A sycamore tree is always selected
as the first home tree, because the
color of the bark harmonizes perfect
ly with the color of the birds plum
age, thus affording protection for

tic sycamore were originally thirteen
nests.
The tree is thirteen feet in circum-
ference and 100 feet high up to me
first branches. From this tree the
colony has spread out to several elm
trees. The nests are a most inter
esting sight and are so large thar
they can be seen from a distance OF
one mile They are huge, rude
structures, built of good-sized twiSs
and sticks, loosely placed together,
forming a lattice work on which the
eggs are laid.
The birds use the same nest every
season, adding more sticks to shape
it up when they return the following
season. The eggs number from three
to four, are of a blush green color
and are a little larger than hens
eggs. The herons during the nesting
season are of great benefit to the
farmers, as they destroy the snakes
and field mice for miles around
When feeding the young the noise and
commotion made by the fedglings
can be heard at a great distance.
The blue heron is a majestic-appear-
frequently enormously called the sand
hill crane. 1t is a solitary bird except
when nesting and is wild and shy.

CHAPTER V.

Wnen Elizabeth opened her eyes
the next morning, the great clock
down in the corner-room was striking
eight, and convinced her to her alarm
and vexation, that she had oversight.
Nothing else was to blame for this
than a deep, ugly morning dream.
The golden, poetic haze which her
fancy had yesterday thrown over Sa-
bines tale had turned over night, in
to a dark cloud, the pressure of which
weighed upon her when she awoke.
She had wandered, in mortal terror,
through the broad, deserted halls Of
the castle, followed everywhere by
| Jost, whose black hair stood erect up
on his white brow, and whose black
eyes cleaned upon her. When she
awoka she had just stretched out her
arms in wild terror, to push him

humping and she thought, with COM
miseration, of the unfortunate girl on

herself, had sought death in her des-
pair, only to be seized at the fatal
moment bv her pursuer.

The Whole population of the poultry
yard had assembled before her, for
she now and then threw crumbs of
the bread that lay beside her, scolding
the greedy and comforting the oppres-
sed as she did so.
When she saw the young girl she
gave her a friendly nod and called
out, Everything at the lodge that
