CHAPTER ~.
Cariboo Meadows.

A tall man, sunburned, slOw-speak
ing, met Hazel at Soda Creek, the end
of her stage journey, introducing him
self as Jim Briggs.
pretty tiresome trip, amt it?" ne
observed. You'll have chance to
rest decent tonight, and got a team
uh bays that'll yank yuh to the Mead
ows in four hours N half. My wifell
be plumb tickled to have yuh. They
amt much mOre'n half dozen white
women in ten miles uh the Meadows.
We keep boardin' house. Hope you'll
like the country"
That was a lengthy speech for Jim
Briggs. as Hazel discovered when she
rolled out of Soda Creek behind the
team uh bays" His conversation was
decidedly mOnosyllabic. But he could
drive, if he was no talker, and his
team could travel. BY eleven o'clock
Hazel found herself at Cariboo Mead
ows.
"SchOOlhOuse's over yonder." Briggs
pointed out the place-an unnecessary
guidance, for Hazel had already
marked the building set off by itself
and fortified with tall fiagpole. "And
here's where we live Kinda out uh
the world, but blame good place to
live
Hazel did like the place Her first
impression was thankfulness that her
lot had been cast in such a spot. But
it was largely because of the surround
ings, essentially primitive. the clean
air, guiltless of smoke taint, the aro-
matte Odors from the forest that
ranged for unending miles on every
hand.
So with the charm of the wild land
fresh upon her, she took kindly to
Cariboo Meadows.
Her first afternoon she spent loaf
ing on the porch of the Briggs domi-
cile, within which Mrs. Briggs, q fat
good-natHred person of forty, toiled at
her cooking for the "boarders," and
kept a brood of five tumultuous young
sters in order-the combined tasks
leaving her scant time to entertain
her newly arrived guest.
Cariboo Meadows, as town, was
simply a double row of buildings fac
! ing each other across q wagon road
Two stores, a blacksmith shop, a feet
/ stable, certain other nondescript
! buildings. and a few dwellings, mostly
of logs, was ALL Probably not more
than a total of fifty souls made per

Funds for Liza Jane.

A long row of husbands sat in a
mess hall and a sergeant was on the
other side of the table with papers in
front of him from which he from lime
to time read extracts, recites the New
York Times.
Are you married?"
81 was married, but -uin't now"
Wife dead?
mo, she amt dead, but We had a
mutual separation"
''Any divorce?"
NO sir, could not pay FOR di-
vorce, but it is all busted up tween
US. Please don't put her name down"
Her name did go Cawn, aEd Liza
Jane will be astOnished when the next
month rolls around and Uncle Sam
hands her out $15. with little memo
randum to the effect that this is an
allotment from her husband, and lit
tie extra thrown in to help her and
the children, if she has any. That is
not all. If he dies in battle, she gets

forth the natural beauty of the coun-
try as much as he did the advantages
of the position. The thing that per-
haps made the strongest appeal to Ha-
eel was a little kodak print inclOsed
in the letter, showing the schOolhouse.
The building itself was primitive
enough, of logs, with a pole-and-sod
roof. But it was the huge back
ground, the timbered mountains rising
to snOwclad heights against a cloud
less sky, that attracted her.
She sat for Il long time looking at
the picture, thinking. Here was the
concrete, visible presentment of some
thing that drew her strongly. She
found an atlas, and looked up Carl
boo Meadows on the map. 1t was not
to be found, and Hazel judged it to be
a purely local name. But the letter
| told her that she would have to stage
it hundred and sixty-five miles north
| from Ashcroft, B. c.. where the writer
would meet her and drive her to the
! Meadows.
"What a country she whispered.
Its Will; really, truly wild; and ev-
erything I've ever seen has been
tanned ami smoothed down. and made
eminently respectable and conven-
tional long ago. That's the place.
That's where I'm going, and I'm going
it blind. Tn not going to tell any
one-nOt even Kitty-until, like a
bear, I've gone over the mountain TO
see what 1 can see"
Within an hour of that Miss Hazel
Weir had written to accept the terms
offered by the Cariboo Meadows school
district, and was busiiy packing heI
trunk.

FLOCK TO HER WITH GIFTS
Bait for Men Friends and Got
Many Presents in Return.

There was a sharp young lady in At
lanta, who had 40 or more admirers
For each of these she bought slippers,
all of the same pattern, which she had
an aged seamstress make up, says the
Augusta News. Meanwhile she kept
pair for herself in the parlor, where
she could have them on hand when
ever one of her lovers called. OF
course, each young man asked for
whom she was making such pretty slip
pers. She would reply, with be-
witching smile and half a wink: "Oh,
they're for a man friend of NINE"
Then each infatuated youth went off
to invest in a gift. Some bought
clothes. Some bought jewelry. One
bought furniture. In return, the girl
bestowed upon each of them pair of
slippers, worked by the seamstress and
footed by a Dutch shoemaker, at an
average cost of $2.65 a pair. The
presents from her admirers averaged
$45 per man.
The pair the girl worked herself she
presented to a young dry goods clerk
in Augusta, to whom she was secretly
married She afterward sold her pres
ents and had enough to start house
keeping.

FEEDING GRAINS TO LAMBS
Ground Corn, Crushed Oats, Wheat
Bran and Linseed Oil Meal Is
Best for Youngsters.

(Ohio College of Agriculture Bulletin)
A good grain ration for lambs just
beginning to eat is ground corn, one
part; crushed oats, one part; linseed
oil meal, one part; and wheat bran,
two parts. Wheat bran is very essen
tial in this ration, and the shepherd
should always see that it is present.
A grain ration consisting of two
pounds of wheat bran, one pound of
oats (crushed oats being preferred),
one pound Of finely ground cornmeal,
and one-half pound of oil meal has
proved to be an excellent grain ration
for young lambs. 1t has also been
found that grain mixture of oil meal
and corn meal has given better re-
suits than a mixture of cottonseed
meal and corn meal.

Tidv Shoes and Good Luck.

of shoes, and the natives Of Africa are
in the same box to this day. The Chi

HOW TO CONSTRUCT RESERVOIRS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
reservoirs built in the beds of
streams or other depressions are
used mainly for irrigation purposes.
The dam may be of earth, loose rock,
timber, concrete, or masonry, or COM
DinatiOns of two or more of these.
However, since on the large majority Of
sites earth is the most abundant and
cheapest material available, it has
been used chiefly. The percentage of
failure of dams Of this type has been
large. The main causes have been
~ faulty and inadequate wasteways,
(2) porous earthen embankments not
properly cOmpacted, and (3) insecure
foundations.
Examination for Foundation.
When the location for the dam has
been decided upon a careful examina-
ton of the foundation should be made.
Test pits should be sunk at intervals
across the stream bed or depression,
and if rock or other impervious ma
terial is found near the surface, the
more porous top covering should be re-
moved and foundation laid on the i'm
pervious substratum. In any event, all
shrubbery, sod, and decayed vegetable
matter should be cleared away be-
fore the dam is begun. In the bet
ter class of such dams a narrow trench
| is dug beneath the center of the en-
bankment down to bedrock or other
good material and q wall of concrete.
known as rim core wall, is built
therein. This wall projects above the
surface and serves a purpose similar
to a tongue in grOoved-and-tongu
lumber joints. A clay puddle may be
substituted where a concrete core wall
around the rim would prove too ex

then is added to the former stream to
carry the material loOsened by the
giant into a fiume or pipe in which it
is transported to the dam. Figs. 1
and show two forms of wooden
flume used for this purpose. The
grade on which they are laid should
be as steep as practicable, and never
less than about five per cent. Under
favorable conditions material can be
placed in dam by this process at a
lower cost per cubic yard than by the
use of teams and scrapers or teams
and wagons. Such embankments are

Rectangular Flume.

most part in the beds of streams and
in the direct line of flood flow, are sub
jected at times to high water which
may carry floating driftwood or other
debris. The overflow dam is designed
TO withstand such severe tests, but
the dam considered here is not of this
type. 1t is intended only to impound
water to certain safe height and to
bypass all surplus waters through the
waSteway. This throws a heavy bur-
den upon this structure in times of
flood, and it should be of such strength
and capacity as to perform its part
without danger to the dam. III MAX
ing provision for a wasteway it should
be borne in mind that a flood may oc-
cur when the reservoir is full so that
the entire flow of the stream must
pass through the wasteway. Consider
alton also should be given to obstruc-

EnrtN Miles of Jam.

SO enormous has the business of
Jam making become in Dundee, Scot
land, since the great firms there or
ganlzed to supply preserves to the
British army and navy that, according
to a report sent by E. R. POttle, U. S.
vice consul there, to the department of
commerce, the tins in which they put
up one weeks supply alone would, if
stood end on end, form column fully
40 miles high. 1t is no unusual thing
for this firm TO deal with 100,000,0Og
oranges, and all kinds of frUi- are
dealt with on u similar scale"
The Dundee manufacturers are
about to give up the use of earthen-
ware, glass Jars and tins, for a stout

made and experiments with it have
proved highly successful.

feeling better than she had felt for

bent on securing her services aston
ished her.
