The chase continued along seven

AT One Hundred and Sixth street the

black hat, long black coat, black

island was not open to visitors until

She continued to wander about,
and still acted strangely. She was
questioned by the superintendent of

wanted, but he elected nothing from
her except that she was from Sagi-

she passed under the railing and
leaped from the bank into the Amer
ican falls, and nothing more was
seen of her. This is the twelfth sui

THE FOOL IN THE roREsT.
Some Day there VIII be no More Red
woods i'm California.
(san francisco ,Argonaut. J

Something more than mere senti-
mentalism will move the Californian
to rejoice that "The Mother of the
Forest of the Calaveras grove of big
trees still stands in columnar majesty
with her stalwart family of great
girthed, russet-mailed, emerald-plum-
ed gians. For time it was feared
that these trees were fated to perish
from the earth; that the flames
creeping out from a sheepherder's
pot-boiling campfire or the embers of
fool Campers bacon-frying con-
trivance would destroy the only liv-
ing survival Of the age beyond "the
dawn of history" Happily this dis
aster was averted, and only the
bald and ragged crest Of 1.-THE Mo-
ther" was scorched; only another
scar added to those already inflicted
by time and the hand of God.
Better, far better, that these age
defying monarchs should perish by
the silvering stroke of the thunder
bolt than that they should waste to
cinders and ashes in the ignoble
flame Of fire kipdled by Slavo-
nian goatherder or grocer's clerk
obtruding his puny presence upon
Nature in her solitude.
When Abraham fed his flocks on
the scant pastures of Ur in the land
OF the Chaldees, the giant redwoods
of California were vigorous shoots
not yet barked to record their age
in annular growth, though centuries
had elapsed since their seed had
thawed from the cold embrace of the
ice drift; while the armies of Sesos-
tris were devastating the world from
Ethiopia to the Iudus the last of the
post-pliOcene mastodons may have
rubbed his gigantic tusks against the
rough bark of "The Father of the
Fortst," now PROSTATE and dry-rotted
in the Calaveras grove.
Dynasties founded to outlast the
memory of man have passed into OBJ
livion since the seed Of the sequoia
winged its flight on the northwest
wind to find it's final resting place on
the slope of the California Clerra,
racial types have changed to fit their
shifting environment and mingled to
produce hundred new phases of hui
manity since our redwoods began to
grow. s.,E
So old are the everything redwoods
Of the Sierran forests that they have
