its fine horses, beautiful women and

Kentucky has been designated as

of mint last year amounted to 1868

Dangerfeld during the encampment,
and that in case Gillingwater failed to
return promptly he should take COM
mand of the North Carolina forces.
An open field had been seized for
the nights camp, and the tents al
ready shone white in the moonlight.
The three men introduced themselves
to the militia officers, and Collins eX-
pressed their regret that they had
missed the adjutant general.
Gov. Dangerfield wished you to
move your force on to Ardsley should
we fail to meet Col. Gillingwater; and
you had better strike your tents and
be in readiness to advance in case he
doesn't personally return with orders"
Capt. Collins, as he had designated
himself, apologized for not being in
uniform.

strange pursuers, yelling at the team
in a voice shrill with fear.
Come on, boys!" shouted Ardmore,
thoroughly aroused, catch the spy
and traitor!"
The road dipped down into the shad-
dow of deep cut, where the moons
rays but feebly penetrated, and where
the flow of springs had softened the
surface; but the pursuers were led on
by the rumble of the wagon, which
swung from side to side perilously,
the boxes swinging about noisily and
topping threateningly at the apex
Down the sharp declivity the wagon
plunged like ship bound for the bot
tom of the sea.
The pursuers bent gamely to their
task in the rough road, with Cooke
slightly in the lead. Suddenly he
shouted warningly to the others, as
something rose darkly above them
like a black cloud and a trunk fell
with mighty crash only a few feet
ahead of them. The top had been
shaken off in the fall, and into 1t head
first plunged Ardmore.
There's another coming!" yelled
Collins, and a much larger trunk
struck and split upon a rock at the
roadside. Clothing of many kinds
strewed the highway. A pair of trou-
sers, flung fiercely into the air, caught
on the limb of tree. shook free like
banner, and hung there somberly
etched against the stars.
Ardmore crawled out Of the trunk,
screaming with delight. The fra

They went down the road, stun

debris from the vanished wagon.

served Cooke, picking up feathered
chapeau. 81 didn't know there we're
so many clothes in all the world"
They abandoned the idea of farther
pursuit on reaching trunk standing
on end, from which a uniform dress
coat dropped sadly.
This Is not our trouble; it's his
trouble. guess he's struck a smooth
er road down there. We'd better go

Woodpecker's Foresight,

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ.
ing slightly in size, at the fall of the
year, invariably in a pine tree. Then
he finds an acorn, which he adjusts
to one of the holes prepared for its
reception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for as
a rule he is not a vegetarian. His
object in storing away the acorns ex.
hibits foresight and knowledge of
results more akin to reason than to
instinct The succeeding winter the
acorn remain intact, but becoming
saturated are predisposed to decay
when they are attacked by maggots,
which seem to delight in this special
food.
1t is then that the woodpecker reaps
the harvest his wisdom has provided.
at time when the ground, being GOV.
cred with snow, he would experience
difficulty otherwise in obtaining suit
able or palatable food.

"None other than the great Apple
weight" responded Collins. THE
governor has him in his own hands
at last, and is going to carry him
across the border and into South
Carolina bastile, as a little pleasantly
on the governor of South Carolina"
The militia officers gave the neces-
sary orders for breaking the half
formed camp, and then turned their
attention to the entertainment of their
guests. Ardmore kept track of the
time, and promptly at ten o'clock Col
Inns rose from the log by the roadside

IF you please" asked Cooke, when
the line had begun to move forward,
what is that wagon over there?"
He pointed to a mule team hitched
to quartermaster's wagon that a
negro was driving into position across
| the rough field. 1t was piled high
with luggage, a pyramid that rose
black against the heavens. One of
the militia officers, evidently greatly
annoyed, bawled to the driver to get
back out Of the way
Pardon me-" said Collins politely,
! but is that your personal baggage,
| gentlemen?"-
THAT belongs to Col. GillingwatEr,'
remarked the quartermaster. THE

The pyramidal baggage wagon had

asleep and waiting for orders. The
conspirators were about to gallop for

abandoned camp-ground to where a
horseman, who had evidently made a
wide detour of the advancing column,
rode madly toward the baggage wagon

asked Cooke.

He's seen Miss Dangerfield and

Southern Gold and Southern Cotton

Southern Gold and Southern Cotton
Before 1S49 the south furnished the
chief gold fields of the country. but
since that date the south has not been
in the running. This section has been
outclassed by California, by Colorado
by Nevada, and last but not least by
Alaska. In the last fiscal year Alabams
produced gold to the value of s41,2Oo
and silver to the value of 5000. This
state was outranked in gold produc.
ton in order by North Carolina,
Georgia, and South Carolina, but
no one of them turned out enough
gold to make the round figure of $780,.
900. The entire production of gold in
the south in the last year was $685.,
400 and $273,000 in silver. Nearly all
the silver was mined in Texas.
1t is pretty plain that Alabama and
all the rest of the south can get more
gold out of the soil via the cotton boil
than 1t can dig out in the gold mines
proper. The climate and the soil can
in that way be coined into gold. The
method is a trifle more circuitous. but
1t yields in cotton alone more money
nine times over than do all the gold
fields in the country, for the total
yield of gold in the last fiscal year
in this country was but $94, 500, OO0.-

SAN PEDRO IS
GREATEST PORT
For Lumber in Civilized World
Consumed in California
Fruit Industry.

San Pedro, name almost unknown
east of the Mississippi, is today one
of the biggest lumber receiving ports
of the country, according to the fig
ures of her collector of customs.
The gazetteeIs of eight years ago
assigned less than four lines of de-
scription to San Pedro. 1t was de-
scribed as "a bay and inlet of tho Pa
cfc ocean. in California, 1O5 miles
southeast of Santa Barbara, 33 de-
grees, As minutes north" That was
all, Today it is known as the ocean
port for the imm ense horticultural anG
commercial activity that centers about
Los Angeles.
San Pedro's custom house figures
show receipts last year of over 500
million board feet of lumber. This
was largely redwood, Douglas fir, and
yellow pine, brought in by coast YES
sells from the forests of the North
west According to the Department
of Commerce and Labor New York
coastwise receipts of Southern pine,
for the year ending December 25,
were a little under 400 million feet.
Chicago received by water, for the
full calendar year 1909, not quite $40
million feet of all kinds of lumber
exclusive of logs; North Tonawanda,
N. Y, received over 10 million; Lud-
ington, Mich, nearly 80 million. The
arrivals of redwood, pine and fir d;
all the ports of San Francisco bay to-
tailed 900 million feet.
The lumber arrivals at San Pedr }
are suggestive of the remarkably rap
i'd development not only of southern
California but also of the inland
southwest. The it-growing sec
ton of southern California consumes
much lumber, most of which is cut
full thousand miles to the north,
but Washington, Idaho and Oregon
lumber Is also distributed by rail
from southern California to many in

the Forester of the u. $. Department
of Agriculture, in his annual report
for 1909, sales are made only when

conditions tend to restrict sales in a

abundan: and so cheap. The
opening of the Panama canal will of
itself almost revolutionize the situa-
ton. Cuttings which cannot now be
made in the best way for the welfare
of the forest. because only the rela-
lively high grades of timber can be
sold, will then be practicable under
much more favorable conditions
