THE TWISTED
VINE
A Story Of the
OrinOcO
BY CLARISSA nACKIB

It was very quiet in that jungle
along the upper reaches of the Orinoco
river.
Charles Goodell, orchid hunter for Z
rich Philadelphia collector, stood on
the high bank Of the river and looked
lOngingly up at the cluster Of mauve
orchids clinging to the top Of a rotted
tree trunk that o%verhung the river. 1t
was a lofty tree. and. Lowed with dis
ease and age, it bent it's head, decked
with the delicate butterfly blossoms,
over the slothful river that it would
bridge when it crashed down in the
hurricane
Goodell's Carib Indians had refused
to climb the tree and were now squat
ting sullenly around a little fire on
which q bird was cooking.
The mauve orchids tempted Goodell
beyond discretion. he decided to
mount the tree and secure them him.
self. although he knew the risk he ran
in doing SO.
If the tree should fall under his
weight he would be flung into the
river. a prey to the vicious al,igators
or the venomous snakes that abounded.
But the securing Of this particular
specimen would not only be a triumph,
but it meant a liberal sum Of money
added to the store he was saving up
for a home and the girl he expected to
make his wife on his return.
He had examined the orchid through
his fieldglasses, and he was convinced
that it was the long lost specimen that
Mr.. Clay. his employer, had offered
$4,000 for. There were the delicate
mauve outer leaves with the hearts of
flaming crimson and orange. with mar
velous stripings of black.
There were two ways Of reaching the
mauve orchids. One was to climb the
tree trunk with the risk Of weighing
it down to destruction when he reach
ed the upper part This way was him
dered by a tangle of great vines that

must be cut through with a machete
before he could reach the coveted prize
The other way was to climb up the
great twisted vine that hung down
ward from the very point where the
orchids chung to the tree. The vine
swung almost within his reach now,
and its lower end touched the surface
Of the water.
'aThe twisted vine," he decided at
last. ami, tossing aside his hat, hs
pulled on heavy gauntlets, saw that his
leather puttees covered every exposed
portion of his lower limbs and took
hold of the twisted vine.
Els Indians gathered around the tree
with the eager curiosity of children in
the performance of his difficult feat.
AS he pulled himself up by the strength
Of his massive arms and shoulders his
legs and feet were twined about the
thick vine.
Suddenly the Indians uttered shrill
cries Of alarm and disappeared in the
Jungle.
Goodell, CHANGING down, saw nothing
to brighten them. and, noting that h.s
specimens were safe. went stolidly up
on his perlious climb: the vine swayed
now and then under his weight, but
its upper tendrils appeared to be firmly
fastened to the tree trunk, while its
roots were strongly intrenched in the
river bottom.
GOodell did not know when he felt
q change in the character of the vine
up which he was climbing with the
orchids ever growing nearer to his
eager touch.
First the twisted vine had been
slightly rough, hut It's bark appeared
10 be smooth now. sometimes almost
slippery to the touch. and once Goodell
would have sworn that It moved. But
It was cold and clammy. Once his face
touched It, and he drew back with q
feeling OF sickening revulsion. He
felt faint and dizzy. and he closed his
eyes.

CHILDREN PROTECTED.
New York's Cannery Camps Safe.
guarded by New Laws.

guarded by New Laws.
New York state is the first to draft
an extensive code for the regulation of
its cannery camps.
For many years there has been con
stant agitation against conditions of
the living quarters provided for the
workers, mostly emigrants brought out
from the cities. The factory commits
sion reported that, though it found
the sanitary conditions of the factories
usually excellent. the camps were Of
ten overcrowded. without proper pri-
vacy and in decidedly insanitary
condition. Buildings, yards and toilets
were reported dirty, water supply in
adequate, and in most camps no one
was made responsible for keeping the
premises clean.
Overcrowding and want Of cleanli-
ness have been the two great evils.
The overcrowding has been source OF
danger to both the health and the
morals of the workers.
A minimum of 400 cubic feet of air
space for adults and 200 cubic feet for
children under fourteen is now re-
quired
Rooms must have interior partitions
at least ten feet high. Eaca room must
have at least one window, set In glass,
easily opened and screened to protect
from trespassers The sleeping rooms
must have two sources Of ventilation.
The beds must be raised from the
floor, not placed one over the other,
and thoroughly clean at the opening of
the season Two rooms must be pro-
vided for every family composed OF
husband, wife and one or more chill
dren over ten years. Sleeping accom-
modations must be separate for each
sex for all not housed with their i'm
mediate families.
The cleanliness of the camps has
been carefully provided for. The liv-
kept at all times in q clean and sani-
tary condition. Abundant water must
be brought to the camp and provisions
made for bathing and for laundry pur-
poses. Covered garbage receptacles,
frequently emptied; privies for each
sex and plainly so marked, In sufh-
cient number, with fly screened, water
tight vaults, cleaned as needed. will re-
move great source of disease.
Probably the most important provi-
sion Is that requiring that in every
camp of ten or more persons there
must be at least one employee whose
specific duty 1t is to enforce the rules
as to cleanliness and the removal of
dirt, filth. garbage. rubbish and ex-
creta. The factory commission found
that only six out of thirty-six camps
had such a caretaker.
Both employers and employees are
made responsible for the carrying out
of this code. which has the force of
law. its violations bringing the same
penalty.
