Ar Anti Suicide Fence.

One of the strangest fences on rec.
ord is that which the common council
Of Yonkers. N. Y. has Just ordered
built 1t will be a fence to keep sui.
cidas away.
Several times In rec-n' years des.
pondent persons have shuffled of the
mortal coil by leaping into the Fort
Field reservoir. one of the reservoirs
supplying Y, .kers with water. Some.
times the bodies haze been recovered
quickly. but on q few occasions the
corpses were in the water for a day
or SO. The loss of water in draining
the reservoir is a big item and Is e.
pecially to be guarded against since
the city found it necessary to husband
every drop Of its supply. So the
council has appropriated $4,000 to
build q wire netting fence around the
reservoir. Wien 1t is completed any
one on suicide bent will find a barrier
nine feet high between him and etsr

any more, just clinging to him, as
though she could never again bear to
let him go.
"Oh, Jack, 1t is so good just to feel
you near again." q
Yes. DEAR" soothingly. and 1t is
good to hear you say Jack, but tell
me one thing-is any one else in the
cabin? Is Hawley here?"
mo. no! He left US early the first
morning. l haven't either seen o.
heard Of him since. The men have
left me alone since We got here; have
had the cabin all to myself until to-
night. have not suffered. only
mentally-from dread of what they
intended doing with me-until to-
night. Three men rode in here just
before sundown-two Mexicans and an
Indian. One of them was an lawful
looking old man, with a seal on his
cheek. and a face that made me shud-
der. He didn't see me, but | saw him
through the window, and he had such
strange eyes. All the men acted as

there in the corral. Then the eighth
man-Hawley, without doubt-must
be in the cabin. At the thought
Keith's teeth clinched, and he had to
struggle to control his passion. But
no; hat would never do; he must dis
cover first exactly where the girl was
located; after hat they would attend
to the ours. Before creeping back to
the others, he made quick examine
ton along the rear of the cabin, but
could find no visible point of weak
ness. He tried to recall from memory
the nature of the lock on that back
door, but could remember nothing ex-
cept an ordinary wooden latch. II
he could insert a knife into the crack
that might very easily be dlslodged.
He drew his hunting knife for the at
tempt, and, first glancing about, per-
ceived a man creeping toward him. 1t
proved to be Bristoe.
Fixed the greaser all right, cap,
and | reckon he'll be quiet for an hour
or two. Look whar he slashed me;

blouse was u wide open. and Keith
thought he perceived a stain of blood.
"Pricked you as it was, didn't he?"
Opened the skin. Thought the cuss
had given up, an got, careless. What's

Keith's lips closed. his hand shut

Five, and another out in front;

Bring our fellows up closer, and post
them where they can cover those fell
lows asleep, while | make an effort at

BriAoe crawled back like a snail
and confident the others would do their
part, Keith thrust his knife blade deep
into the narrow crack and began prob
ing after the latch. In spite of all eau
ton this effort caused a slight noise
and suddenly he started back at the
sound OF a woman's voice:
What do you want? | am armed
and will fire through the door If you
do not go away!"
His heart leaping With e~xultation
Keith put his lips close to the crack.

Keith. Say, Jack, what do you figure
this shebang to be. anyhow? You
don't reckon it's old Sanchez's outfit,
do yer?'
Likely as not, Joe. though | never

Joe filled his cheek with tobacco,
staring about through the darkness.
Well. if that oil cuss is yere now

mented positively.
They rounded the corral fence on
hands and knees, crawled into a bunch
OF bushes somewhat to the rear of the
silent, desolate-appearing cabin, and
lay down fiat behind a pile of saddles,
from which position they could plain
ly discern the rear door.

and then turned the other corner
