.|kE'S SALTED MINE
BY FRANK ELLISON.

when Dicky Mears was sent west
by his loving and long-suffering parent,
with his ticket in one pocket and five
thousand dollars in the other, and or
ders not to come home till he had
made his fortune and a man Of him.
self at the same time, Setango Gulch
spotted a good thing. There sat Dicky
in the White Horse hotel, owned by
Ike Brown, slipping his lemonade and
talking of his expectations.
"'You see boys, I've been kind Of
wild he says. But I've cut out the
drink for good and-well, it's this way
And he showed US the picture of girl
with innocent gray eyes and light.

kind. She'll wait lifetime for me-

thousand dollars Is worth picking up.
if 1t can be done easy. Now Ike Brown
had ab0't half dozen worked out
placer mines. They were pocket mines,
meaning to say there wasn't any gold
in them except a few pockets of the
metal that had washed down from the
mother lode about the time Of the
deluge when the thin trickle of water
that now ran there had been roaring
stream, and when they was emptied
the gold was gone Ike had picked the
pockets dry and then salted them with
gold dust fired from a shotgun for
suckers like Dicky Mears. They were
scattered here and there along the bed.
Nobody was mean enough to warn
Dicky, and as Ike had got him first 1t
wouldn't have been gentlcmanly to try
to get him away till he was dry
"'Though,' says I to myself, If it
was me, I'd let him off for three thou

Green Star, for the sake of the girl
Ike only let Dick stay three days
in Setango Gulch, and what he didn't
see in that time was a wonder. For in.
stance, when the water carts come In
from Montserrat, fifty miles away,
which was the only way we had to get
the stuff, he thought they carried kero-
sene, and his morning bath, which
was worth twenty-five dollars time,
made Ike grit his teeth. So as soon as
he could he got him out to the Green
Star, whore he left him with three
months grub and a heap Of dynamite

lit the fuse until you hear the eXplo'

enough water to dip up in your tin
basin if you make a hole about the
middle of the bed. Good-by.'
"'Good.by,' says Dicky, in dream,
and Ike rides home with Dicky's f1ve
thousand dollars in his pocket.
Just about three months later when
we'd forgotten Dicky, he comes into
Setango, having walked all the way
lie hadn't seen the color Of gold.
"'That's too bad, Dicky,' says Ike.
OF course, it may be you didn't strike
the vein. Why don't you write home
for another five thousand, and I'll
stake you to your board on the chance
of your making the old man fall for
it.
"a couple Of weeks later two thou.
sand comes, and the old man adds that
his sentiments is about the same, only
a little less cordial, and, anyway, that
is to be the last. BY the same post as
he'd written to his father by, Dicky
sends letter to the girl. He said he'd
had bad luck, and he thought 1t was
his duty to let her go, but If ever he
made his pile and she wasn't married
he'd come back to claim her.
Ike was sort of glad that Dicky got
his money, being good-hearted sort
of a fellow, and he agreed to sell
Dicky the Blue Shank for his two
thousand, and to throw In six months
outfit of -four and bacon into the bar
gain. So Dicky starts out again, and
Ike smiles pleasantly and allows that
he'll run down south for the winter,
setting out just about the time that
Dicky's due to return.

began to feel uneasy, somehow. You
see I'd sort of taken liking to Dicky,
and 1t seemed to me that 1t was all
right to sell him the Green Star, seeing
it was experience he was getting, but
that Blue Shank business sort of un-
settled me. hoped he'd hit upon a
pocket somewhere on the Blue Shank
property, though Ike had gone over 1t
with a fine comb And just as my
hopes was beginning to sour me

CHURCH IN ENGLISH WOODS
OF Great Antiquity, Sacred Edifce in
North Devon Proves Big Attrac-
ton to Visitors.

Culbone church, which among many
others claims to be the smallest
church in England, is situated on the
coast of North Devon, not far from
the picturesque little village of Por-
lock, and the church is so guarded
by hills and woods that the suns rays
reach it only four months of the year.
The building is but 33 feet long by
l2 feet s inches wide, and has a
porch, nave, carved oak chancel
screen and Norman font, an alabaster
altar piece and a quaint high pew
near the chancel used by the family
OF Lord Lovelace, by whom the prop.
erty is owned. The slanted chancel Is
lit by a tiny, square-headed, iron
barred window, the oldest feature in
the church, being preNorman, and
cut out of a single stone. 1t Is amply
large for the population, which is
about 35 in a parish of ,337 acres. In
summer the church is crowded, ow.
ing to the influx Of visitors from
many parts of the world.

HELPED SURVEYORS IN WORK
British Expedition Found the Wireless
Telegraph Of Almost lnvalu-
able Assistance.

Commander Herbert A. Edwards,
the officer sent by the British govern
ment for q period Of three years to
command the Bolivian survey commls'
sion, recently returned to civilization
after having completed over zoo miles
Of frontier survey.
The party, whose duty was to sur
vey mostly unknown country, the dis
puted frontier between Bolivia ana
Brazil, travelled up the Abuna river to
settlement called Santa Rosa, whence
they cut across country to meet an
other section Of the commission. Both
parties then returned down the Abuna
on the completion Of the survey.
The great achievement Of the ex-
petition is that they fixed all their
longitudes by tme-signals sent by
wireless telegraphy from Porto Vallo,
situated 120 miles from the base or
operations. party was left at Porto
Vallo, and, by the courtesy Of the
Brazilian government, time-signals
were sent every night.
Commander Edwards carried with
him rough receiving set and long
wire, which was rigged up on trees.
He has proved that wireless telegra-
ply will enable the explorer to dis
pense with chronometers, and easily
and accurately fix all longitudes.
Commander Edwards says this will
begin a new era in exploratory sur
veying. He eulogizes the work Of
wireless expert. Mr.. Chapman. who
labored night and day to make the
experiment successful. In the course
of his work this gentleman had ter
rible experiences with hornets, ants,
and other pests He was provided
with climbing irons In order to ascend
the highest trees.
The commissioners have still to
erect boundary marks along portion
Of the frontier, but the commencement
Of the rains will render it impossible
to deal, this year, with section OF
40 miles of frontier which. 1t was
hoped, would be covered during the
present season.

Ike looked little foolish at that.
