cupful. The Pearlhunter held 1t to the mans lips. He couldn't swallow, but the touch of the water seemed to revive him. He opened his eyes and stared, like man trying to make out objects in very dim light. His eyes caught the glitter of the sheriff's star, drowned, raised, found the Pearlhunter and strained hard at him.
 And it was a cussed Warbritton that got me at last l'
 "WhO speaks the name of Warbrit- ton?" came a hoarse voice from <he couch.
 The dying bandit started, rolled his eyes toward the sound.
 What was thatI That voice!"
 The Pearlhunter caught the foot of the couch and moved it around so the two fast sinking men could see each other. No sooner had the gray giant on the couch caught a glimpse of the man on the floor than, with a great cry, he tried to rise. His utmost strength only served to bring him pare ly up on an elbow,-and that only with the Pearlhunter's aid.
 Martin Redmond!' he cried--und almonst instantly: "Where is shef The woman you distained? And the boy? Tell me! I've still the strength to tear it out of your cursed throat !"
 The dying robber fixed his falling eyes on the couch. Only God knows who giveth his grace to the just and to the unjust-how he found strength for further words.
 "WarbrittOn-!" He muttered the name huskily, the bloody froth upon his lips. ''She was not distained. Ii was all a mistake. I let you think it because I hated you-bedaGse I loved her-because she loved you and not me. Twenty years she's JOved these rivers, pure as the dew at dawn. She sleeps tonight in a grave four days old at Fallen Rock"
 He picked up his hand irom where it sagged down upon the floor, carried it at great labor to his bo-Gm, fumbled under the fancy vest, drew forth a picture and laid it against his lips, The Pearlhunter snatched it away. The action brought the picture near the old man. He seized it, held it an instant before his eyes, and with deep groan laid it against his bosom. i.
 And the bOy?" he cried to the man on the floor. "The boy?"

~eood Anoew unappreciated.

Many times our best angels are moi appreciated. The very fact that we are so accustomed to their ministry makes them commonplace. Bill was handy man at a certain college. He didn't get rich on what he did but he knew more about things than any one there. He just naturally took the re sponsibility for everything. But nc one appreciated him. In fact he be came something of joke and every body took occasion to shove off re sponsibiIity on him knowing that he could be counted on putting anything through that he undertook. So they worked the willing horse until he was picksd up by a more appreciative con- cern and the college lost a good angel Incidentally might add, two men and typist are doing the same work Grit.

 So all over the country animals were awakening from their winters sleep and were brushing their spring suits and looking their very best as they started forth for adventure and to do their marketing.
 And all of the animals sang and chirped and talked in groups, and this is what most of them said: ''The springtime, the springtime. is the
 happy, happy season. Its waking up time, and that IS the
 main reason. I've wouldn't be happy if we hadn't slept

 And Miss Springtime smiled and said to MT. Sun:
 "They are very flattering to me, but it is most pleasant, most pleasant, Mir. Sun."

NOW KNOWN TO BE CLOUDS
Up to Year 1900 the Projections on Mars Had Been Thought to
 Be Mountains.

The first observelss of projections on Mars had attributed them to the same cause that produces projections on the moon-that is, mountains. Such they were said to be in France and at Lick. This view, however, was in 1892 dis puted by W. H. Pickering, who consid- cred them to be not mountains, but clouds. This view was supported by A. B. Douglass, who observed them in 1892 at Flagstaff, Ariz. The mountain theory of their generation was shown to be untenable and their ascription to clouds proved to be the correct theory in December, 1900. Only a sin gle projection was visible, in 1900, 1903 and 1905. As a mountain does not change its place, and as nothing was seen where something had been wis ible, the phenomenon was proved to not be a mountain peak. Now the only other thing capable of catching the light before it reached the surface would be something suspended in the air-that is, cloud. Deductions therefore. from the rarity of the phe- nomenOn alone showed that the pro jectiOns must be clouds. Furthermore the projection was smaller after the lapse of "A hours. The something that caused it was not only not attached to the soil, but was moving and dissipat. ing as 1t moved along. Clouds are the only bodies known to us which ac- count for these metamOFphoses. Clouds. then. and not mountains, are the explanation of the projections of Mars.-"Mars and Its Canals" by Per. cival Lowell.

 we got good and fat last fall. Now we must work and play and be busy. Yes, we must be up and about, for the springtime has come. The Animals Springtime. Perhaps the springtime doesn't just come for the animals who so enjoy it after their winter sleep. but it almost seems that way. It al- most does!
 Tt almost seems as though the springtime were just for us"
 We have had a longer sleep than any of the others" said the Richard son Ground-Squirrels. Especially We older members of the family. The younger ones didn't come to bed as soon as we did. We went to bed last summer-during the latter part of the summer, and we're only just getting up now. But we like the springtime, the lovely springtime. So, all of the
  Richardson Ground-Squirrels, hear the call of the spring and awakenI For we do not stay awake long and we want to be awake at the best time of the year, which the Richardson Ground-Squirrels think is the spring."
 Jump up, jump up," said Mrs. Jumping Mouse. There were still number of Jumping Mice who had not arisen.
 Jump up, jump up, for the spring time has come'' And the Jumping Mice who were already up sang this song to the ones who were getting up: Hurry. hurry up. jump. jump. jumpl Don't stay asleep like a lump. lump,

 ''Be frisky and gay, be frisky and gay, For this is wonderful springtime day. You've slept enough; it is time to
 awaken!
 And if you don't get up you'll have to
 be shaken"
 So the Jumping Mice who were not already up, got up with jump and began frisking about, too.
 All over the country the animals who had been asleep for the winter were getting up. They were in their own colonies and others were scat tered here and there.
 Get up, get up," said the bears to each other. We've slept long enough.
