What should he do? What Ill wind
way? Nothing had warned him OF the

world. so far as his investigations at
that time were concerned.

shoulders Chivalry of this sort was
not the order OF the day. There was
something stronger than the voice of
duty. something stronger than the
voice of the heart: 1t was the voice
OF pity. which urged its appeal for the
hundreds OF men and women who had
invested their all In the Cavenaugh
concerns. The thought of their ulti-
mate ruin. should Cavenaugh be per-
mitted to pursue his course unchecked.
bore heavily upon him. No. he could
not do 1t. He must fight, even II he
lost his all in the battle. 1t is a fine
thing to right a wrong. All the great

Cavenaugh was the father of the girl
| he loved must have no weight on the
scales OF justice.
Resolutely he thrust the document
into his coat pocket, closed his desk
| and reliGhted his cigar. In that mo-
ment he had mapped out his plan OF
action. That very night he would
lay the whole thing very clearly be-
fore the girl herself. and whatever
| decision she made. he would stand or
| fall by 1t. for he knew her to be the
soul of honor.
Poor girl, II was heart-breaking
business. How in the world should
he begin, and where should he stop?

For the father he had neither pity nor
sympathy; there were many ugly

Beavers as Assistant Engineers.

Beavers as assistants to mining
operations is the unique situation
which maintained until recently in the
case OF Charles T. Richert and asso-
ciates OF Colorado Springs. who are
driving a tunnel on the Pixies Peak
reservation east OF Walkers on the
Midland terminal. says the Cripple
Creek correspondent OF the Denver
Republican.
Waterpower was used for the mine
plant and the beavers in the park
dams were OF involuntary and mate
rial assistance to the engineer in
charge. The stream carries a small
volume of water. not sufficient for the
requirements OF the mine plant. 1t
was found that by using water from
the beaver dams and sending It to
the storage reservoir OF the mining
company. sufficient power could be
secured.
Breaks were made in the beaver
dams in the early morning and enough
water flowed down during the daylight
hours. At night the Industrious beav-
ers would repair the break, and this
daily performance was continued un-
til steam was substituted. The beay-
ers are now unmolested.

the harbor of Provlncetown and near

keen blue eyes, an aggressive chin,
repellent mouth, Henry Cavenaugh was
the personification of the modern Croe-
sus. Immutable in purpose. dogged in
perseverance, relentless enemy. a
Jesuit in that the end always justified
the means, he stood a pillar in the
world of finance. where there is
sometimes Justice, but never any
mercy. Thirty-five years before he
had been a messenger in stock
brokers' office. OF his antecedents
nothing was known until he broke
one of the famous gold corners in the
seventies. when a handsome, ruddy-
checked little Irishman bobbed up Sc
renely from nowhere in particular and
claimed to be the great Cavenaugh's
father. But his proofs were not con-
vincing. and when the son showed
decided contempt for him. he gently
subsidized into oblivion and was heard
of no more. From time to time Car
rington gathered a small crumb OF in
formation regarding his sweetheart's
grandfather but whenever he
broached the subject. however tact
fully. everybody concerned headed the
conversation for different port.
Darlington had never laid eyes on
the old gentleman. and. for all he knew
to the contrary, he might be myth.
He reasoned that in all probability the
grandfather was illiterate. uncouth.
and rather an awkward piece Of family
furniture to handle. when the family
proper were ingratiating themselves
into the Chippendales Of society. I'm
fortunately. Mother Cavenaugh, good
hearted and amiable In her way. had
been stung by the bee Of the climbers.
and her one ambition was to establish
herself and daughters in society; and
had not he. Darlington. come Of an
aristocratic family tpoor. 1t is true).
the doors OF the Cavenaugh manor
would never have opened to his knock.
Even as II was. he was persona non
grata to the millionaire. who was mad
for duke In the family. Besides Cave
naugh had his suspicious OF any law

breaking the sunbeams against their
polished wings. Finally they settled
on the slate roof and fell to strutting
and waddling and swelling their
breasts pompously. Darlington opened
and refolded the document. but he did
not take his eyes from the doves.

Unfortunate French Couple Resoiute
In Refusing Charity.

Simple life Is being practiced with
a vengeance by a 1aborer and his fam
ily at Montgerou. near Corbell. The
workman and his wife had hitherto
been known as an Industrious and
thrifty couple. but they nevertheless

The climax came when they were un-

they had occupied because the hus-

IN EXTREME HOT WEATHER.
Fish, Birds and Animals All Suffer By
the Heat Just as Men Do.

Humans" said q nature lover, ARE
BY no means the only sufferers from in
tense summer heat; there are plenty Of
lower creatures that suffer.
Fish for instance, are oppressed by
the heat just as men are, and If they
can't find shelter from it they may be
killed by it. In shallow fresh water
ponds fish sometimes die by the hundred,
killed by the excessive heat of the water,
warmed beyond their endurance by the
beating sun.
I'm streams fish seek the shady
stretches and the deep places and the
spring holes where they can keep COOL
and in salt water fish go away from the
shallow overheated water close to shore
and seek the cooler depths
"Birds suffer In the same way, op-
pressed by extreme heat, and how they
do welcome chance TO get cool! Look
at the sparrows in the city's streets when
the sprinkling cart goes by leaving in
the hollows of the pavement little pools
Of water that will serve them for bath
ing places. How eagerly the sparrow
seeks this bath, and il will battle, II Il
gets the chance, dozen times day.
1T is just the same with domestic
fowls. Extreme hot weather distresses
them greatly; at such a time you can
see chickens with their beaks open and
fairly painting with the heat, and then
they want plenty Of water.
"Cows7 OF course. On the very hot
days they seek the trees if there are
any in the pasture lot, to stand in the
shade of them, and then IL they are
bothered by flies the cows seek shaded
pools or brooks to stand In them In water
up to their bellies or deeper TO escape the
flies and for cooling refreshment. How
horses and dogs suffer with intense heat
everybody knows. New York Sun.
