A White Woman and a Brown.

A White Woman and a Brown.
 For few weeks Mrs. Hardin found the mess tent diverting. Before the Delta had expanded the capacity of the camp her soft nook had been over taxed, her hospitality strained. The men of the reclamation service, thrown into temporary inactivity, were eager to accept the opportunity created for another. Failing that other, her zeal had flagged. Events were moving quickly at the break; Rickard was ab- sorbed. Mrs. Hardin told herself that it was the heat she wished to escape !; not to her own ear did she whisper that she was following Rlckard, nor that the percolator and chafing dish, her shelves and toy kitchen were a wasted effort. She kept on good terms with herself by ignoring self-confi- dences.
 Rickard, the discovery unfolded slowly, took his meals irregularly. His breakfast was gulped down before the women appeared; his dinners where he found them.
 "No wonder!" reflected Gerty liar din. "Ling's cooking is so bad" Small wonder the manager foraged for his meals.
 She worked out a mission as she lay across her bed that hot afternoon. Her duty became so clear that she could no longer lie still. Immediately she must retrieve her weeks of idle ness; what must 'Rickard think of her? She buttoned herself thoughtfully into q frock of pale colored muslin, cream slipping toward canary. White was too glaring on red-hot day like this.

Walter Funk Writes of Mining
Difficulties in South America

Mr.. 1. g. Stafford.
Idaho Springs, Colo.
Dear Mr.. Stafford:
As / have been pretty regu-
larly supplied with the ..Siftings'
and have thus kept posted on
events in Idaho Springs, thought
it might possibly interest some OF
your readers to give them a little
idea of this country and the mine
where l am located.
To begin with, one is completely
isolated here from the rest of the
world, all mail and papers being
from month to six weeks old
when received. and description
of the route necessary to take to
get here easily convinces one of
the truth nf this.
The United Fruit liner lands
you at Cartagena, from whence a
rattle-tr trap railroad takes four
hours to take you sixty miles to
Calanar, village on the great
Magdalena river. From thence
by means Of an old fashioned
stern paddle wheel river steamer
you poke along for 25O miles up
the Magdalena and two of its
branches, the Canca and Nechi
rivers.
The scenery is wonderful all
along the route, but the heat al
most unbearable. Large alliga-
tors bask in the sun along the
river banks, while beautiful birds
of many descriptions are abundant
Insect life of all kinds abounds to
the extreme annoyance of the
traveller.
Accommodation on these boats
is poor. One must carry his own
bed everywhere in tbis country,
but fortunately you don't need
much. 1t takes four to Eve days
to make the river trip to Puerto
on the Nechi river.
From here it requires two days
by canoe up a beautiful little
stream called the Santa Isabel. a |
trip highly interesting and excit- |
ing, many rapids and falls having
to be passed. The natives are SO |
skillful at handling these canoes
that it is extremely rare when one
is overturned. Two natives pole
the canoe by means Of long poles
while another sits at the stern and
steers and paddles.
The canoes are 40 to so #. long
and will easily transport ton of
cargo. At the falls, all this cargo
must be transferred from point |,
point on the natives bucks. Wild
game abounds and one puts in shis
time advantageonsly with a shot
gun while waiting for the portag
ing process.
