WONDER AT FORESTS QUIET
travellers Have Frequently CON-
mented on Apparent Deficiency of
Animal life in the Woods,

European travellers frequently aIlude
to the American forest as remarks
for its solitude and deficiency Of ami
NAL life. A foreigner is struck with
surprise, when rambling through the
bush. at the scarcity of birds. rabbits,
and hares, and astonished when in the
deepest recesses Of the wild country
he sees no increase Of their numbers.
When padding his canoe through lake
and river he will startle but few pairs
of exceedingly timid waterfowl, where
In Europe they swan in multitudes.
This scarcity Of animals, I would re-
mark, is not peculiar to the American
wilderness. The same fact has been
observed In extensive forests both in
Europe and Asia and In proportion as
the traveller penetrates into their In
tcriOrs he finds a smaller number of
animals of almost every species. Birds,
insects and Quadrupeds will multiply
In a certain ratio with the progress Of
agriculture, so long as there remains q
sufiiciency Of wild wood to afford them
a refuge and home. They use the
forest chiefly for shelter. and the open
grounds for forage; the woods are

A Lawyer Plays Witness.

"Nidal has returned, senor."
Billy Stanway awoke with a start.
The late afternoon sun was streaming

"TOrre and Juarez have had no
word together? They know nothing
of our having brought Dempton to the
rancho?"
"NO, senor"
Stairway slipped out of bed, his
great sinewy body towering for a mo-
ment over the lesser form Of the
breed.
"You are gentleman, Pedro" he
said warmly. "Your master, when he

Then cried Stairway, 1--WE must

She rang. Tore still watching sus-

the house Immediately" Stairway told
him. Let him bring three men with
him. Let them come armed. And see

A quick light of understanding

OF sudden understanding and a quick

Teresa stepped through the door,

after them.

you ask your sen0rlta to come to the
library? And then will you see that
Vidal brings the lawyer there?'
Pedxo Went about his errand, and
Stairway, dressing swiftly, went TO the
library, which he had chosen because
1t was at one end of the house, and
so place in which to converse with
out fear of being overheard by Tore
or the captain.
Vidal was there before him. big
man with beautiful body and a
Scared, ugly face. And with him,
looking grotesquely small, pitifully in
efficient in the presence of his guard,
was Dempton.
"Mr. Stairway, sir" The lawyer
was upon his feet In an instant, his
face red with anger. his speech seem
ing to frOth up In stream Of barely
articulated words from between his
wrltblng lips. Are you one of this
damnable conspiracy, sir? 1t Is brig
andage; 1t is outlawry; 1t is sheer
defiance Of every statute"
Good afternoon, Mr.. Dempton,"
said the rancher pleasantly. There
Is no conspiracy on our part. We
merely wish to ask you a few ques-
tions. even 10 give you chance to get
out Of this mess skin-whOle. Sit down.
The senOrita will be here in a mo-
ment."
The door opened and Teresa came
In. She nodded brightly at Stairway,
bestowed look upon Vidal which
plunged him into an ecstasy of delight,
and with no word to Dempton went to
Stanway's side.
Have l kept you wating?" she
asked.
NO. I came In just a second be-
fore you" He drew out a chair for
her and turned to Vidal. "Vidal, we
have few words to say to Mr.. Demp-
ton. VIII you wait In the patio? II
shall call you when we want YOU"
"Dempton," Stairway went on, what
passed between You and the Senior de
n Guerra last night?"
'He sent for me to make a change
n his will" said Dempton glibly. "He
gave no reasons for what he was do |

Dempton, n lawyer trained to ask

Stairway smiled at the girl, which
he returned, and Dempton, plainly
uzzled, watched them closely.

"Yes."
