CHAPTER x<vlu.-(contInued.)


What have we between here and
the river?" inquired the latter. 1t was
best, he felt, not to give Slosson an
opportunity to ask questions.
1T narrows considerably, pardner,
but it's straight course" said Slos-
son. Black in yonder, amt it?" he
added, nodding ahead.
The shores drew rapidly together;
They were leaving the Iake-like ex-
panse behind. In the silence, above
the rustling of the trees, Darlington
heard the first fret of the river against
its bank. Slosson yawned prodigious-
ly.
Il reckon you amt needing me?"
he said.
Better go up in the bow and get
some Sleep" advised Darlington, and
Slosson, nothing loath, clambered
down from the roof of the cabin and
stumbled forward.
The ceaseless murmur of the rush
ing waters grew in the stiffness as
the keel boat drew nearer the hurry
Ing yellow flood, and the beat of the
Kentucklan's pulse quickened. Would
he find the raft there? He glanced
back over the way they had come
The dark ranks of the forest walled
off the clearing, but across the water
a dim point of light was visible He
fixed its position as somewhere near
the head of the bayou. Apparently it
was lantern, but as he looked a
rudy glow crept up against the sky
line.
From the bow Bunker had been OBJ
serving this singular phenomenon.
Suddenly he bent and reused Slos-
son, who had fallen asleep. The tav-
ern-keeper sprang to his feet and
Bunker pointed without speaking
''Mebby you can tell me what that
light back yonder means?" cried Slos,
son, addressing himself to Caring
ton; as he spoke he snatched up his
rife.
That's what I'm trying to make
out" answered Darlington.
He'll" cried Slosson, and tossed
his gun to his shoulder.
What seemed to be a breath of
wind lifted stray lock of Caring
sons hair, but his pistol answered
Slosson in the same second He tired
at the huddte of men In the bow OF
the boat and one of them pitched for
ward with his arms outspread.

meaning. A small newsboy, who is a
familiar figure at the city hall and
shows great affection for Assistant
Joe Ryan's dogs, overheard some one
speak Of him as that poor boy the
other day, and exclaimed:

Beauty of Woodwork.

There is friendly atmosphere In
the presence Of much woodwork-no
painted wood, but wood finished to
show the beauty of its natural growth
that is entirely lost in an expanse
of smooth, hard paint. Its mellow
lights and soft shades form far more
restful background than any papered
surface, and its strength and durabfl-
tty make a wood finish ideal for
,touse that is to suggest the feeling OF
permanence and stability that belongs
to the true home.-Suburban Life.

Orphanaqes in Turkey.

There are % orphanages in the
Turkish empire, conducted by Ameri-
cans, enrolling 5000 inmates. In con-
nection with these orphanages an in
dustrial work has sprung up which
gives employment to over 10000 peo-

work is largely done by the widows
and orphans and includes rug and

FOREST FIRE BULLETIN.
Western Forestry and Conservation
Association.

Portland, Aug. 5.-July passed prac-
tically without forest fire loss. Au-
gust began with unusually favorable
conditions, and better equipment than
ever before by all protective agencies
except the federal forest service,
which is hampered by congressional
delay in acting upon its appropriation,
is the summary of statement issued
today by the Western Forestry and
Conservation association upon advices
received from all protective headquar-
ters in the Pacific Northwest Due
partly to the weather but also to the
perfection of preventive measures
which, like the block signal system
on railroads, safeguard without being
spectacular, the situation is novel in
that the middle Of the usual four
months fire season has arrived and
there is not a single fire Of impor-
tance to report
Although small fires are becoming
numerous, green timber is not dry
enough to carry them unless strong
wind prevails and the patrol forces
are handling them promptly The
season has been favorable for dispos-
ing of dangerous slashings and never
before has there been such system
and success in extinguishing smoul-
dering logs and snags left after burn
ing to become a menace later On
the other hand the growth of grass
and underbrush has been so heavy as
to threaten peculiar danger from now
on. Marked improvement in care with
fire is reported, although there is con-
siderable complaint against careless
