CHAPTER V (continuedy.

Suddenly the rolling thunder peals

of the heavens and struck the noun
tains where she could actually see
them. There were not words to de-
scribe the tremendous crashings
which seemed to splinter the hills 10

more terrific detonations.
In one of those appalling alterna-
tons from sound to silence she nearo

hind her. 1t must proceed she
thought. from the man. she coulo
not meet that man, although she
craved human companionship as never
before, she did not want his. She could
not bear 1t. Better the wrath OF
God, the fury of the tempest.
Needless of the sharp note or warn
ing. of appeal, in the voice ere 1t was
drowned by another roll OF thunder.
she plunged on in the darkness. The
canon narrowed here; she made her
way down the lodges, leaping reck-
lessly from rock to rock, slipping,
falling, grazing now one side, now
the other. hurting herself forward with
white face and bruised body and torn
hands and throbbing heart that would
fam burst it's bonds There was once
an ancient legend, human creature,
menaced by all the fNyies, pitilessly
pursued by every malefic sgixtt OF
earth and air; like him this sweet
young girl, innocent, lovely, erstWhile
happy, fed before the storm.
Then the heavens burst, and the
fountains of the great deeps were
broken open and with absolute lit
teralness the floods descended. The
bursting clouds. torn asunder by the
wild winds, driven by the pent-up
lightning within their black and turgid
breasts, disburdened themselves. The
water came down, as it did of old
when God washed the face of the
world. in food. The narrow of the
canon was filled ten, twenty, thirty
feet in moment by the cloud burst.
The black water rolled and foamed,
surging like the rapids at Niagara.
The body of the girl, utterly UMPIRE
pared, was caught up in moment and
flung like bolt from catapult down
the seething sea filled with the trunks
of the trees and the debris of the
mountains, tossing about humanity in
the wild confusion. She struck out
strongly swimming more because OF
the instinct of life than for any other
reason. A helpless atom in the boil
ing flood, growing every minute great
er and greater as the angry skies dis
gorged themselves of their pent-up
torrents upon her devoted head.

which was extremely serious. since 1t
was a question of double complicated

BIRDS THAT LIVE CENTURIES
Average Life of Australian Cockatoo
Said to Be Hundred
Years.

Melbourne, Australia.-Among the
wild birds of tropical countries whose
average life is said to be close to one
hundred years are said to be the
cockatoos of Australia, a handsome
bird belonging to the same family as
the parrot, and species of bird which
is readily tanned and taught to do
tricks which many domesticated birds
and animals are unable to accom-
plish.
The cockatoo, particularly the yell
low-crested bird, is one of the most
intelligent of the birds Of the world,
and while 1t may seem strange to
some, it is fact that by kindness and
excellent treatment cockatoo can BIO

JOKES.

There is hardly a profession, trade
or industry nowadays that does not
have q periodical or organ If its own.
And few, indeed, are the publications
of this lind that d. not devote a week
" or monthly page to the lighter
side" Of the branches Of human actiy-
lily to which they are devoted. This
technical humor has q twofod interest
for the layman, that of the Jokes and
anecdotes he can appreciate on the
one hand and thGt of those which are
lncOmprchonsible to him on the other.
He finds TO difficulty, for instance,
in the familiar apecdoto Of the bank

the latter might be by far tho better

the new boy in the machine shop who
is told to fetch bucket Of steam from
tho engine room is obvious enough,
but that Of an anecdote turning on
some technical point of machine con-
struction will appeal only TO the mi.
tiate. Medicine has its strictly pro-
fessional anecdotes Of sickroom, con.
sulting room and operating room,
many Of which would be grisly to
the layman IL he could grasp their
meaning; but it has also, for his
amusement, its tales of the amazing
misinterpretations Of medical dircc
tons by the unsophisticated patients,
chiefly of Irish and German nativity.
The church and tho law, the arts and
the sciences all have this double form
Of humor. No doubt even the under.
takers shop has its fund Of anccdote.

The body Of humor keeps close step
with progress aud development in all

HOW ARAB PRIZES HIS MARE
"Foundation Of Wealth Is a Mare;
Bring Forth a Mare" Is One
of Their Sayings.

The Arabs regard for his mare Is
often expressed in sayings that are
short and very much to the point, as
for instance: "The foundation Of
wealth is a mare; bring forth mare"
"The greatest blessings are a wise
wife and a fruitful mare" @e
AS the Arabs themselves are dfvid-
ed into tribes and sub-tribes, the same
system is adopted in regard to the
strain of their horses breed, In fact,
the breeding is carried on IN the same
manner as laid down in tho Koran for
the Mohametan marriages.. This Ia
one of the chief factors giving rise TO
the high quality Of the pure bred
Arab horse.
Thoroughbred mares are never
sold under any conditions, and in-
stances have been known says
Pierre Ponahdine in life in the Mos
lem East, when fyo and six and ten
thousand pounds have been refused;
for often such mares that are too old
for riding are still kept for breeding
purposes" Ill.
