rounded by the guard, my thought less
concerned with my own fate than with
her feeling toward me. Suddenly the
truth revealed itself to my mind that
I loved the woman had so strangely
married.
1t Is indeed odd how tho human
mind works, and now this new discov-
cry completely eclipsed every other
consideration. The thought Of possible
escape, Of any means of defense, never
occurred to me. All my memory re-
tanned was that last glimpse Of her
slender figure at the window and the
silhouette of her ayerted face. What
was her thought of me? In the mo-
ment of her first surprise she had
sprung to my defense, but as soon as
she could consider the conditions, her
whole nature would turn against me
even now the feeling of disgust had
come. She had turned coldly away,
hating the very sight of me-staring

Well, the lady need not fear that. My
fate would be swiftly and surely

There were three other prisoners,

4ear-round farming, with diversified
crops that furnish something to sell

writer in the Country Gentleman says.
Such places most need steady. depend
able men, with greater skill and a
knowledge of the details of a number

that the married man stands the best

Scores of little tenant houses are

No Alternative.

A niggardly Providence ordained, in
the beginning. but three principal
checks upon the tendency of popula-
ton to outrun subsistence, namely,
famine, pestilence and war.
Modern devices of transportation,
not to mention the activities of char
ity, speedily put famine out of the
reckoning. 1t became practically inn
possible for enough people to do any
good to starve to death any more.
So, too, with pestilence. The doctors
got busy and discovered so many Sc
runs and things that pestilence af-
forded but the scantiest relief.
"War isn't as Christian as 1t might
be, but it makes a noise like Hobson's
choice" people began to remark, or
such of them, at least, as We're dis
posed to face the situation squarely.

Frustrated. On the raised floor of the
basin, after time, the next forest
came into existence, only to be in turn
engulfed as the first had been, and
so on through the period represented
by the 1000 feet or more of similar
beds. The series of entombed forests
affords a means of making at least a
rough estimate of the time required
for the upbuilding of what is now Spec.

On Amethyst Mountain.
The fossil forest that was first
brought to scientific attention is on
the northern slope of Amethyst noun
tain, opposite the mouth of Soda Butte
creek, about eight miles southeast Of
Junction Butte The following ac-
count, by DR.. William H. Holmes, the
discoverer of these fossil forests,
shows the impression first made by
them:
"As we ride up the trail that mean
ders the smooth river bottom (Lamar
river) we have but to turn our atten-
ton to the cliffs on the right hand to
discover a multitude of the bleached
trunks of the ancient forests. In the
sleeper middle portion of the noun
tain face, rows of upright trunks
stand out on the lodges like columns
of ruined temple. On the more gen.
tie slopes farther down, but where it
is still too steep to support vegeta-
ton, save few pines, the petrified
trunks fairly cover the surface, and
were at first supposed by us to be
shattered remains OF recent forest.
These trunks may easily be seen
from the road along the Lamar river,
about a mile away. They stand up
right-as Holmes has said, like the pill
