EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL
Ancestors of Present People Were
Called Upon to Face Beasts That
Inhabited Plains and Rivers.

The first houses were caves. Early
man was n fighting animal, and had TO
contend against the huge and feroci-
Gus beasts that infested the plains and
rivers, observes a writer. His dwelling
naturally had TO be a place Of security
as well as a habitatiOn- Caves were
natural and artificial, the latter being
followed out of solid rock by rude flint
instruments. Most of them were FORM
ed in the sides Of cliffs and among
high, rugged hills.

primeval men and women who secured.
as one would think, but scanty shelter
and protection from these stone caves
and holes in the rock, we apply the
generic term OF cliff dweIlers.
They were entirely ignorant Of agrf-
culture, and subSisted by hunting and
fishing and on the natural products
they found growing in q wild state.
What is very remarkable. at our
very doors can still be seen the typical
houses and handiwOrk OF those pre-his-
tOric tribes in the caves OF the Lancos
river in southern Colorado. These, in
most instances, are as well preserved
as when their ancient occupants de-
serted them-perhaps 10000 years
ago. When inhabited they were reach
ed quite frequently by notches cut in
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.

Gladstone a Hard Worker.

Gladstone was a hard worker, with
no breads with regard to work, says
the American Magazine.
He turned from political response
bilities OF the heaviest to Greek for
recreation, and lived his four-score
years and more, just as Pope Leo
XIII, turned TO Latin poetry for his
relaxation from worldwide burdens,
and lived on beyond four-score and
ten, living so hopefully that when,
at the little dinner given him on his
ninetieth birthday, one OF the cardin-
ais said, in proposing a toast to him,
Here's that you may live to be a
hundred, holy father" the old pontif
replied: But why limit me to a

and actually lived, believe, to COM

These men had no breads; but they
allowed their energies 70 work on,
without any fear OF exhausting their
vitality.

Modest but Noted Mer.

It is not generally known that, be

the Tigris and Euphrates by irrigation

occasion, but she held q little note OF

Macdonald left the boat twenty miles
below Kusiak with Mrs. Mallory and
the Selfridges. A chauffeur with a
motorcar was waiting on the wharf to
run them to town, but he gave the
wheel to Macdonald and took the seat
beside the driver.
''Are you going to the hotel or direct
to your cousin's?" Gordon asked Miss
O'Neill.
''To my cousins. I fancy she's down
here to meet me. 1t was arranged that
come on this boat"
Elliot caught a glimpse of the only
people in Kusiak he had known before
coming in, but though he waved to
them he saw they did not recognize
him. After the usual delay about get
ting ashore he walked down the gang
way carrying the suitcase OF the Irish

the wharf he came face to face with
a slender, weIl-dressed young woman.
'Dianer' he cried.
She stared at him. "You! What in

don Elliott" she demanded, and before
he could answer had seized both hands
and turned excitedly to call q stocky
man near. "Peter-Peter Guess
who's here?"
Hello, Paget!" grinned Gordon, and
he shook hands with the husband of
Diane.
Elliot turned to introduce his friend,
but she anticipated him.

the haunting pathos of her race.

For here live the near side

Och anee!
Gordon, as he listened, felt the
strange hunger OF that homesick cry
steal through his blood. He saw his
own emotions reflected in the face OF
the Scotch Canadian. who was watch
ing with a tense interest the slim,
young figure at the piano, the girl
whose eyes were soft and dewy with
the mysticism of her people, were still
luminous with the poetry of the child
in spite of the years that heralded her
a woman.
Elliot intercepted the triumphant
sweep of DANES glance from MacdOn-
aid to her husband. In a flash it lit
up for him the words he had heard on
the hotel porch. Diane, an inveterate
matchmaker. intended her cousin to
marry Colby Macdonald. No doubt she
thought she was doing d fine thing for
the girl. He was q millionaire the
biggest figure in the Northwest. His
iron will ran the town and district
as though the people were chattels of
his. Back of him were some OF the
biggest financial interests in the United
States.
But the gorge of Elliot rose. The
man, after all, was a lawbreaker, a
menace to civilization. He was q sur
vivOr, by reason of his strength, from
the primitive wOlf-pack. The very
look Of his hard, gray eyes was dOmi-
nant and maSterful. He would win,
no matter how. 1t came TO Gordon's
rebel heart that if Macdonald wanted
this lovely Irish girI-and the young
man never doubted that the Scotsman
would want her-he would reach out
and gather in Sheba just as if she
were a coal mine or a placer prospect

Later in the evening the two dinner
guests walked back to the hotel to
gether. They discussed casually the
cost of living in the North, the raising
of strawberries at Kusiak, and the bes
way to treat the mosquito nuisance
but neither of them referred TO the
Macdonald coal claims or TO Shebi
O'Neil.

CHAPTER vi.
WaIIY Gets Orders.

Macdonald, from his desk, looked up
at the man in the doorway. Selfridge
had come in jauntily, a cigar in his
mouth, but at sight of the grim face
of his chief the grin fed.

the Scotsman. 81 sent for you to con-

CHAPTER IV-continued.

About q mile below the falls he met
two men. One of them was Colby Mac
donald. He carried a coil of rope over
one shoulder. The big Alaskan ex-
planned that he had not been able to
get 1t out of his head that perhaps
the climbers who had waved at his
party had been in difficulties. So he
had got a rope from the cabin of an
old miner and was on his way back
to the falls.
The three climbed to the falls,
crossed the bridge and reached the top
of the cliff.
"You know the lay of the land down
there, Mr.. Elliot. Well lower you" de-
cided Macdonald, who took command
as a matter Of course.
Gordon presently stood beside Sheba
on the little plateau She had quite
recovered from the touch of hysteria
that had attacked her courage. You
weren't long" was all she said.
ssI met them coming" he answered
as he dropped the loop of the rope over
her head and arranged it under her
shoulders.
He showed her how to relieve part
of the strain of the rope on her flesh
by using her hands to lift.
"Ail ready?' Macdonald called from
above.
GAIL ready" Elliot answered. To
Sheba he said, ''Hold tight"
The girl was swung from the ledge
and rose jerkiIy in the air. She

Gordon followed her a couple of min

him a hand over the edge of the cliff.

Elliot, and climbed down the natural
stairway up which the young man had

above. Macdonald looked at Elliot
with a new respect.

Miss O'Neilrs deep eyes looked at
him. She was about to speak, then
changed her mind.

CHAPTER v.

Sheba SinQs-and Two Men Listen.
Elliot did not see Miss O'Neill next
morning until she appeared in the din
ing room for breakfast. He timed him
self to get through so as to join her
when she left. They strolled out to
the deck together.
He came abruptly to what was on
his mind. ST have an apology to make,
Miss O'Neill. If I made light of your
danger yesterday, it was because was
afraid you might break down. 1 had
TO seem unsympathetic rather than
risk that"
She smiled forgiveness. "AIl you
said was that I might have sprained
my wrist. 1t was true too. I might
have-and 1 did" Sheba showed a
white linen bandage tied tightly
around her wrist
''Your whole weight came on it with
wrench. No wonder it hurt"
Sheba noticed that the Hannah was
drawing up to a wharf and the pas
sengers were lining up with their be-
iongings. "Is this where we changer"
Those of US going to Kusiak trans
fer here. But there's no hurry. We
wait at this landing two hours"
Gordon helped Sheba move her bag
gage to the other boat and joined her
on deck. They were both strangers
in the land. Their only common &C
quaintance was Macdonald and he was
letting Mrs. Mallory absorb his atten-
ton just now. Left to their own re-
sources, the two young people natu-
rally drifted together good deal.
This suited Elliot. He found his
companion wholly delightful, not the
less because she was SO different from
