built up about II by the gales that
have swept the coast during the past
half lf-hundred years. stands an aban

OF It's type in existence, and the first
that was erected by the national gov

In lS45 the Humane Society of Mas

the parent of the United States life
saving service, had 18 stations on the
Massachusetts coast equipped with
boats and mortars for throwing lines

merous huts or houses of refuge at ex-
posed points
Congress finally was awakened to
aclon and bill appropriating $500
for life-savine purposes was passed
March 3. 1S47. In 1S4S second ap-
preparation of $4,000 was made.
Again in lS49 the sum of 100000
was appropriated and eight stations

CHICKS HATcHED IN POCKET

lady's pocket This novel experience
has befallen a Kirkcaldy (Scotland)
lady. She had arranged TO so with a
friend TO Edinburgh and after dress
ing herself and finding she had still
few minutes TO spare before train
time. she decided to have a look at
two eggs which ought to have hatched
out the day before. Proceeding to the
garden she found the eggs still un-
matched, and thinking they we're un-
fertile. she took out the eggs and put
one in each pocket of her ulster. with
a view of taking them TO the house.
On reaching the door she found her
neighbor waiting for her with the In
formation that it would take them
all their time to catch the train The
lady accordingly ran into the house
for her umbrella, and, forgetting all
about the eggs, proceeded with all
haste to the station. On approaching
the ticket office she put her hand in
her pocket to get her purse when
she was shocked TO find that she had
omitted TO leave the eggs behind Be
ing afraid that they might get broken
and spoil her dress, she throughout
the journey sat with a hand in each
pocket holding the eggs. The heat Of

Uncle Joe,s Check

Col Henry Casson, sergeant nt-arms
of the house of representatives. has
the original check given by Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon few years ago to
a book agent, and about which an in
teresting story has been told.
An agent visited the speaker and In
terested him in an elaborate edition of
something which Uncle Joe didn't
want, but bought. When the books
arrived Uncle joe examined them and
decided at once that something had
been put over on him. When the agent
came for his money the speaker de-
termined to make him indorse terse
sentiment on books. SO he wrote out q
check for $73, the amount due. and on
the back of 1t he inscribed:
Pay to the order of Mr.. Blank, in
full payment for an edition which was
not worth d, and dear at that
price. but for the ease and grace with
which he put 1t over your Uncle Joa

CHAPTER xIIl.-(Contlnued.)

1t was noon, the sun pitiless and not
above them, before they struggled
within the partial shelter OF the sand
dunes, and sank YEARLY down to their
meager lunch. Their supply Of water
was limited, and the exhausted ponies
must wait until they reached the river
to quench their thirst. Yet this was
very far off now, and Keith had seen
enough of their surroundings to locate
the position of the ford. Slow as they
must proceed, three hours more would
surely bring them to the bank of the
stream. They discussed their plans
briefly as the three sat together on
the warm sand, revived both by the
food and the brief rest. There was
not a great deal to be determined.
only where the girl should be left, and
how the two men had better proceed
to escape observation.
Fort Larned was the nearest and
safest place for their charge, none of
tae party expressing any desire to adj
venture themselves within the imme-
date neighbOrhood of Carson City.
What her future plans might be were
not revealed, and Keith forebore any
direct questioning. His duty plainly
ended with placing her in a safe en-
vironment, and he felt convinced that
Mrs. Murphy, of the Occidental Hotel,
would furnish room, and, If necessary.
companiOnship. The sole problem re-
maining-after she had rather listless-
ly agreed to such an arrangement
was to SO plan the details as to permit
the negro and himself to slip through
the small town clustered about the
post without attracting undue atten
tich. No doubt, the story of their es
capa had already reached there, en-
bellished by telling, and serious trou-
Isle might result from discovery. Keith
wac surprised at the slight interest
she exhibited in these arrangements,
merely signifying her acquiescence by
a word, but he charged it to physical
WEAKNESS, and the reaction from her
night of peril; yet he took pains to
explain fully his plan. and to gain
her consent.
This finally settled. they mounted
again and rode on through the lanes
traversing the sand dunes, keeping
headed as straight as possible toward
the river. The ford sought was some
miles down stream, but with the
horses thirst mitigated, they made
excellent progress. and arrived at the
spot early in the evening. Not in all
the day had they encountered liv-
ing object. or seen a moving thing
amid the surrounding desolation. Now,
looking across to the north, a few
cleaning lights told of Fort Larned
perched upon the opposite bluffs.
