was to meet Meleese. Concealed in
the deep shadows of the bushes he
seated himself on the end of fallen
spruce and loaded his pipe. taking care
to light it with the flare of the match
hidden in the hollow of his hands.
His blood was tingling at fever heat
in his desire for vengeance for the
punishment of the human fiends who
had attempted to blow him to atoms.
and vet at the same time there was no
bitterness in him toward the girl He
was sure that she was an unwilling
factor in the plot and that she was
doing all in her power to save him. At
the same time he began to realize that
he should no longer be Influenced by
her pleading. He had promised-in re-
turn for her confidence this night-to
leave unpublished those whom she
wished to shield. He would take back
that promise. Before she revealed any
thing to him he would warn her that
he was determined to discover those
who had twice sought to kill him.
1t was nearly midnight when he
looked at his watch again. Was it
possible that Meleese would not come?
He could not bring himself to believe
that she knew of his Imprisonment in
the coyote-of this second attempt on
his life And vet IL she did

Crew Made Gallant Eioht.

Three weeks fighting in mid-ocean
with a cargo of burning wheat was
tbs experience of the crew of the
steamship Felbridge. which arrived
in the Thames at London, England.
recently from the River Plate On
taking off the hatch one day the cap
tain discovered the bags of grain on
fire. Gallant efforts were made to-
subdue the flames. but in vain. Then
log bags of -four were taken from an
other part of the ship and packed into
the burning hold to about two inches
from the top, and the hose was ap-
piled so as to make the -four into a
stiff paste. This made the hold prac-
tically air tight. and by covering the
hatch with oilskins and playing the
hose on them the crew kept the fire
under control until they reached port.

NuxeIists and the Public.

Surprises in the novel reading line
are always pleasant. Readers are SO
apt nowadays to label a novelist, to
say or assume that such an such
style, such and such a treatment,
such and such characters, are his or
hers by right of invention, or of
adoption. or of anything else. And
who can answer that writer's do not
readily agree to the fancy, or the
whim, or the taste, or the judgment
of the public? With might and main
they try to live up to the label, ma
king, as rule, little or no effort
to change the brand. "You ask for a
certain thing; here it is for you"
they seem to say. There are ether
draughts as good to be got from
the vintage of my examination; but
fearing your disapproval. / shall not
attempt to provide them" -Naho

FruitIess Literary Endeavor.

1t has been estimated that out Of
every 10000 books written only 100
are accepted. Working on this basis
and assuming that 100000 books are
printed in England in any one year, 1t
follows that $4,000 books are doomed
to remain hidden forever in their au-
thors' locker or else be consumed by
the flames. Each book has probably
taken six months to write, and at this
rate nearly $4,000 years of combined
work, for which not penny is paid,
has been spent in one year on fruit
less literary endeavor. At the rate
of Ell per week, if the writer's had
Joined the labor ranks, they would

lion pounds. And the lot of those who
have the good fortune of getting
novel accepted is little more enviable.
