WhistIina Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life Is
the solar, or whistling tree of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree it
gives out flutelike sounds. playing
away to the wilderness for hours at
a time strange, weird melodies. 1t is
the spirit of the dead singing among
the branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to myriad of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.

lands is another arboreal freak This
tree, in the driest weather, will rain
down showers from its leaves. and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot CT the trunk
and find it pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores situated at the base of the
leaves.

Undoubtedly much of this quicken

CHAPTER XIII.

The fall and early winter had been

and to blow; and with the showing
and blowing the thermometer dropped

each other it was real Chicago

1t was during the cold weather that
behring's work took him one after
noon to Lakeview to look over the
work of the Amateur Art club. AS he
left the house after finishing his task
dull roar fell on his ear. He started
and listened eagerly-yes, 1t was the
lake. In a moment more his coat-col-
lar was pulled up about his ears, his
hat settled bore firmly over his eyes,
and he was on his way to the shore.
The lake had a peculiar fascination
for him. He could never resist it, es-

leaped with exultation. The power of

When any person remarks about the

Il have always cautioned friends to

she responded severely. But she did
not vouchsafe him the glance. She
was absorbed in washing out the un.

Derring did not so into the house
He walked rapidly up and down the
beach, watching the angry sky and
the isolated little house. He fancied
that, as the early twilight settled
down. it stood out more distinctly and
vividly-emphasizin its individuality
the work of man against the power
of darkness
AT last he came and looked over her
shoulder.
Rather better. isn't it," she asked
complacently without looking up.
You have caught the very demon
of the storm in those clouds"
1t was true. She had done what the
water-colorist seldom achieves-suc-
ceeded in washing out her first at
tempt and replacing it with the desir
ed effect. The thorough wetting of
the paper or touch of genius had
aided the second attempt, and the
result was a wash-clean and fresh in
color-and in the clouds what Derring
had called the demon of the storm.
Come" he said decisively as she
sat putting in the last few touches
lingeringly. Come. You must stop,
1t is too dark. You will be frozen"
She began to collect her sketchine
materials.
Leave those for me. Go on to the
house and get warm. I'll bring your
traps"
She started obediently towards the
| house, breathing on her cold fingers
to warm them. But-so fierce was the
wind-she made slow progress. and
before she reached the house he was
at her side. He opened the door that
ushered them into the low room.

greeted them looked with kindly eyes

STORY BREAKS ARM
G. W. Maynard Suing stage Company
for Damages.

Portland, Ore, Dec. &c. w.
Maynard, former state treasurer Of
Washington, was a witness today in
the United States district court in
his suit to collect 100000 damages
from the Umpqua River Steam Nayi-
cation company. He alleges that
while riding in one of the defend
ants stages March s, 1907, the stage
went over an embankment and his
arm was broken. The big damages
are asked to remunerate Maynard
for a real estate deal he expected to
engineer at Coos Bay, but which he
claims he lost because of his injur-
les.
Maynard testified the stagedriver
was telling a story to travelling
man. 1t was so good the driver did
not look where he was going and in
another minute the stage and one
horse toppled down the bank.
