and the locomotive and tender began
to glide slowly down the almost i'm
perceptibe grade. With a slight click
it cleared the switch and slid out onto
the Cardigan lateral, swiftly gather
ing speed. A quarter of mile down
the line Buck Ogilvy applied the
brakes and eased her down to twenty
miles per hour.
At the junction with the main line
Buck backed briskly up into the
Lagunda Grande woods, and coupled
to the two loaded fiat cars. The
woods gang scrambled aboard the
fats, and the train pulled out for Sc
quota. Forty minutes later they rum
bled down Wafer street and slid to
grinding halt at the intersection of B

From the darkness of Cardigan's
drying yard. where they had been
waiting, twenty picked men of the
mill crew now emerged, bearing Ian
terms and tools. Under Buck Ogilvy's
direction the dirt promptly began to
fly, while the woods crew unloaded the
rails and piled them close to the side
walk.
Suddenly voice harsh and strident
with passion, rose above the thud of
the picks and the clang of metal.
''Who's in charge here, and what in
blazes do you mean by cutting my

at Brattleboro, Vermont, the other day
The Milestone brook rushes under the
Main street bridge directly in front

Whetston's mouth is a ledge of slaty
rock over which the brook falls about

about 25 feet long and not over two
feet wide at its narrowest point, a large

deep hole where there is a continuous
boiling reminding one of Niagara river
below the falls. AS the water goes
over the smooth ledge into the crew
asse there is seen under the water an
other waterfall, dainty as any lace that
ever came out of Belgium. The layers
of rock have separated the fraction of
an inch, and the water forces itself
through this horizontal aperture per
haps three feet long and thirty scond
of an inch in height. The result is a
tiny watrfall of pure white, perhaps
10 inches high, seen under the main
body of the 'vll which flows over. it.
There are best ,,es half a dozen other
little cracks through which as many
baby waterfalls add to the attractive

age. size and picturesqueness.
The Hooker is 10l feet high, has q

is smaller in some of its dimensions
but larger in others. 1t is located on

WILL LOUISIANA RATHY?
Keen Fight Sefore Legislature Which
Convenes Today.

BATON ROUGE, La, May 10.-The
general assembly of Louisiana which
opens today will have the opportunity
to write history Three questions of
paramount interest will be placed be-
fore it.
First-Will Louisiana become the
goth necessary state to ratify the ma
.tional woman suffrage amendment.
Second-Will horse racing be contin.
ued in Louisiana and if so how?
Third-Wil1 the $30OO,OOO needed by
the state treasury be secured through
severance tax on national resources
or by direct taxation of the citizens of
the state.
The suffrage fight promises to be
keen. Both sides are well organized
and both claim victory. The governor
John NJ! Parker, is for ratification and
the following he has secured during the
last two years is admittedly large. But
in Louisiana, states rights are not cas-
lily forgotten and that principle vii
rally many staunch supporters.
