Shoots the trouble"
Before this high-school graduate Of
unusual accomplishments obtained her
present position of indoor mechanic,
she proved herself as efficient as the
men in doing line work, climbing poles
and replacing wires as readily as any
Of them, says Popular Mechanics, in
describing her attachments.
But for the war and the shortage of
men having mechanical experience, she
probably would not be filling a mans
place.
However, being fond Of mechanics
and having a knowledge of electricity,
she intends to remain at her post until
peace comes, and then get a college

VALUABLE FIND IN ALASKA
University Of Pennsylvania Museum
Enriched by Collection Of Eth.
biological Specimens.

The University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum has received and placed on ex-
hibition a remarkably fine collection
Of chronological specimens secured by
Louis Shortridge, a full-blooded In
dian, who for three years has been
exploring in unknown southern Alaska
for the museum at the cost of John
Wanamaker. He has sent many col
lections, but the last Is the finest group
of the whole.
His latest trip was up into the noun

Of ceremonial material which was for
the most part made a century or two
ago. 1t is parted with now only be-
cause the Indians have become we'll
nigh extinct and those younger men,
bers Of the tribes who remain have lit
tie interest in ancient ways because
they are taking on civilization.
There is collection of poles or sa-
cred standards used In ceremonial
dances, handsomely carved and deco
rated with the totem of the bearer.
There are some amazingly lurid masks,
which were used In the dances, and
some costumes which are richly deco
rated. Some are made Of buckskin,
but others are Of Hudson's bay traders
cloth deliberately embroidered. Alto
gether Mr.. Shortridge has sent about
1000 specimens and these are often
unique and as a whole are unequaled.

HAS ONLY IMPULSE TO RUN
When Under Influence of Fear, Horse
Has No Other Idea Save That Of
Blind Flight.

1t was pathetic to see the terror OF
London horses when the tank passed
through the city recently, writes a COR
respondent. Many of them sighted the
new-fangled contraption at distance
and stood with ears pricked forward,
eyeballs starting and nostrils distend-
ed, and had to be held and screened
until it passed by. 1t was, of course,
the same in the early days of motor
ing, but despite his tendency to panic
the horse is intelligent If given a
chance. When bicycles were novelties
an acquaintance tells me-his horse,
in Cheshire country district, showed
great fear until bicycle was one day
brought to him and held beneath his
nose so that he could inspect it in de-
tail. He never minded them afterward.
According to Romanes, the horse sis
the only animal which under the inf1u-
ence Of fear loses the possession of
,, every other sense in one mad and mas.

failing was utilized by our men in the

Fellow Could.

In many instances prisoners, against

return for trial if they are permitted
to 60 to their homes if released with
out bond, are permitted to go on their
own recognizance. In political YER

A short time ago several colored men
were arrested charged with assault
and battery. All had engaged in a
free-for-all fight and two of the men
had received several knife wounds.
One man, however, told the judge that
he arrived on the scene, just as the
police came, to see what the excite
ment was about, and, being mistaken
for one of the fighters, was taken to
police headquarters with the other
men.
When the case was called in police
court. it was continued for a few
DAYS. and after hearing the story the
Judge told this man that he would let
him out on his 20. R." after he had
promised to return on the day of the
trial.
One of the other prisoners was sc
impressed with the easy manner In
which his friend got out of Jail that
he asked for an opportunity to speak
and then said: ..Jedge, yer honor,

is. but know this, that If that boy
can afford it, so can I, and I am will

movers in the fight, and the judge de
cided that his bond would be $500
which was more than he could pro
cure. SO he remained in jail.-Indian

CHAPTER XXI.
A MESSAGE From the Dead.

Macdonald drove his team into the
teeth of the storm. The wind came in
gusts. Sometimes the gale was so stiff
that the dogs could scarcely crawl for
ward against it; again there were mo-
ments of comparative stiffness. fol-
lowed by squalls that slapped the
driver in the face like the whipping of
loose sail on a catboat.
High drifts made the trail difficult.
Not once but fifty times Macdonald
left the gee-pole to break a way
through snow-waves for the Sled The
best he could get out of his dogs was
three miles an hour, and he knew that
there was not another team or driver
in the North could have done so we'll.
1t was close to noon when he reached
n division of the road known as the
Fork. One trail ran down to the river
and up it to the distant creeks. The
other led across the divide, struck the
Yukon, and pointed way to the coast.
White drifts had long since blotted out
| the track of the sled that had pre-
ceded him. Had the fugitives gone up
the river to the creeks with intent to
! hole themselves up for the winter? Or
was 1t their purpose to cross the divide
and go out over the ice to the coast?
The pursuer knew that Gid Holt was
wise as weasel He could follow
blindfolded the paths that led to every
creek in the gold-fields. 1t might be
| taken as certainty that he had not
plunged into such desperate venture
without having plan well worked out
| beforehand. Elliot had high grade
of intelligence. Would they try to
reach the coast and make their get
away to Seattle? Or would they dig
themselves In till the heavy SHOWS
| were past and come back to civiliza-
ton with the story of a lucky strike to
account for the gold they brought with
them? Neither gold dust nor nuggets
could be identified. There would be
no way of proving the story false. The
only evidence against them would be
! that they had lett at Kusiak and this
was merely of :; corroborative kind.
