seen nor heard of him since that first
meeting with Meager. Perhaps he was
among those drunken dogs in the liv-
ing room, sleeping off their carousal;
vet somehow she did not believe it.
SOmeway his voice and manner had
strangely impressed her as different !;
he did not belong with that crew. Out
law, desperate, she knew him to be,
a man with price on his head, yet
surely he was no drunken, registering
brute. He had not even gone into the
house; she was sure of that now, re-
membering clearly. He had led the
horses away, while the other two en-
tered with Meager Nor had he re-
turned later; not at least while she
was at the window, and he was not
in attendance at the wedding.
Then the truth suddenly occurred
to her-the man was hiding out. He
dare not risk drinking, or being shut
up in a house. He was a hunted
creature, watchful of treachery in
every human being. He could trust
to no one, not even his companions in
crime; there was a reward for him,
dead or alive. He would be out yon-
der in the dark somewhere, alone, he
and his horse, Weakening at the slight
est sound. Perhaps he would be the
one she needed to fear the most, when
the pursuit started. These thoughts
flashed swiftly through her mind, al
most unconsciously, as she stole for
ward silently through the shadows.
She passed a figure lying in the trail,
too drunk even to reach the bunk
house, but as she crept past the open
door she saw no signs of any oc-
cupants within. Except for the few line
riders. and that outlaw hiding in some
thicket of chaparral, the whole per-
sonnet of the ranch were stupefied with
liquor, Indifferent TO any occurrence
going on about them.

GIFT OF THE DESERT

and If so, his followers would be slow
to discover what had happened, and
would possess no leadership. This,
inevitably would mean delay. While,
even if the fellow should live, hours
surely must elapse before he could
take the trail. With good horse
under her, she would be beyond sight
out ON the desert, riding straight for
those two peaks old Tom Meager had
pointed out to her as marking the No
gales trail. With such a start in the
race there was surely a chance to
win. Her pulses throbbed exultantly
at this sudden awakening of hope, and,
without so much as another glance
at the body PROSTATE on the floor,
she hurried to carry out her plans.
An unrecognized Mexican lay In
drunken slumber, curled up like a dog,
on the floor Of the passage, but she
found no difficulty in passing the fell
low. She neither heard nor saw any
of the others, as she made her way
through the rear door and across the
few feet Of open space dividing the
main house from the detached kitchen.
There was lamp burning in the lat
ter, and the remains OF fire in the
stove, but no occupant. Deborah
knew the place well, and lost no time
in gathering together what food she
required, fortunate enough to discover
a small sack in which it could be con-
veniently transported.
: The effort had proven easy and safe
so far, and her heart beat hopefully
as she emerged from the Kitchen, thus
equipped. Now If she could only pro-
cure horse, escape actually appeared
possible. Doubtless the ranch horses
had all been turned loose in the large
corral. She had no means of catching
these half-broken animals, but it
might be that the horses ridden by
the party arriving during the evening
for immediate use. These were weary
enough from their desert trip when
they arrived, but that was hours ago;
they must have been fed and watered
since, and, with the rest, would be
fairly fit by this time for another
journey. They were wiry broncos,
able to endure any amount of hard
ship. It was then she remembered
the horse the Frisco Kid" had been
riding. Even in the darkness she had
marked the fine, blooded lines of the
animal, the far better condition in
which he appeared to be- If she could
only lay hands on him.

as she slowly made her way down the

Irish Opera by German.

1t is strange that one of the most
"Irish" Of Irish operas should come
from a German musician, but it is
nevertheless a fact that the typical
Irish opera, "The Lily of Killarney"
was composed by German, julius
Benedict. But Benedict, says the
the Irish idiom in its broad aspect is
easy to assume While speaking with
an Irish accent he said many beautiful
things, and the airs eileen Mavour-

melody, and sixty years have not
dimmed the charm of Benedict's melo-

ORIGIN OF THE HAWAlIANS
Belief Has Been Held That They Are
Descended From the Lost
Tribes of Israel.

The origin of the Hawaiian people
is still somewhat obscure. Oldest in
habitants of the islands told the earli-
est missionaries that the largest is
land was produced from large egg,
deposited by an immense bird upon the
water. which, bursting, formed the pres
ent island. From the first land the
other islands Of the Hawaiian group
developed automatically.
The conservative Hawalians of early
days stoutly held the opinion that the
first human inhabitants of the Islands
descended from the gods, or were ere
ated by a miracle upon the Islands.
Some of the earliest American mission
aries found conclusive evidence. to
their minds. that the Hawailans sprang
from the lost ten tribes of Israel. The
Rev. S. Dibbie. in his History OF the
American Mission" 1s43, gives much
space to tracing the parallels between
customs and traditions OF the Hawaii
ans and the ceremonies and scripture
Of the Jews.

RED CORAL USED AS DRUG
Belief in Efficacy Originated in Old
Times and Only Comparatively
Recently Was Abandoned.

The red coral Of the Mediterranean
sea Is mentioned by some of the ear
liest OF the Greek writer's orpheus of
Thrace mentions II in poem as a
valuable remedy for the sting of scor-
pions and for snake bites, and its mys-
ucal origin is described by ovid. The
myth that the coral is soft in the water
and becomes hard when exposed to the
air persisted until the Seventeenth cen
tury. II was used in early times by
the Mediterranean races not only az a
jewel and ns an amulet for resisting
destinations, and as an antidote for
the stings of scorpions, but. according
TO Diosorides, 1t was used as medl-
cine for the splitting OF blood and for
dysentery.
Red coral, powdered and burnt. was
regarded as very valuable drug for
almost every kind OF disease during
the Seventeenth century, and II re
malned In the British Pharmacopoela
until the end OF the Eighteenth cen
ury, nnd was still sold in chemist shops
as late as 1912.

ODD VERSION OF "SHYLoCK"
On the Japanese Stage Shakespeare's
Famous Character Is Made
Fisherman.

TIE globe trotter went to a perform
ance of "The Merchant of Venice" re
Gently He had but recently returned
from the Orient, where, he told his
friends that We're at the theater with
him, he had seen a Japanese version of
that Shakespearean play.
ITS interesting to note the changes
they make in it," he remarked, accord
ing to the New York Sun. ''Of course
they have to localize il, or else they'd
miss the meaning of it altogether. For
instance, the part of Shylock, as played
in the Japanese Merchant is not Il
Jew, because the Japanese could not
understand the anu-Semitic feeling
prevalent in certain of our occidental
countries. Instead, he is pictured to
them as a fisherman. which is rather a
despicabIe type in Japan.
Then Shylock does not cry for his
pound of flesh. Instead, it is an inch
of flesh he demands. The japanese
Shylocll, when Antonio the merchant
bares his breast, marks with brush and
paint a square inch on the latters flesh.
Just at the moment he is about to draw
forth his knife. a longer and far more
murderouS looking one than any used
in English productions, Portia is
brought to the court in her dainty jim

uoncerninn Moonlight.

1t is probable that very few persons
are aware of the fact that the fun
moon gives several times more than
twice the light of the half moon.
They may be still more surprised to
learn that the ratio is approximately
as nine to one.
Stebbins and Brown, taking advan-
tage of the extreme sensitiveness to
light of selenium cell, measured the
amount of light coming from the moon
at different phases, with the result
above mentioned The reason for the
remarkable difference shown is to be
found in the varying angles of retlec-
tion presented by the roughened sur
faces of our satellite to the sun. The
moon is brighter between first quar-
ter and fun than between full and
last quarter.-New York Herald.

FOSSIL FORESTS IN AMERICA
This Country Has Three of the Four
That Are Certainly Known
to Exist.

There are only four fossil forests"
areas in the world, three of which are
In the United States, the other being
near Cairo Egypt. OF the fossil for
ests in the United States, one is near
Calistoga, Cal, several extensive for
ests are in the Petrified Forest Ma
tional monument, Arizona, and the
others are those in Yellowstone Ma
tional park.
Though the whole history of the
process OF fossilization is not fully un-
derstood, it is probably dependen.
upon entombment of the trees in ma
terials saturated with water containing
considerable amount of silica in solu-
ton. This silica-charged water was
drawn up into the wood by capillarity,
the silica being deposited in the cells
and vessels of the wood after the wa
ter evaporated. making an accurate
cast of all open spaces. Then, While
each particle of organic matter was re-
moved, its place was taken by the silica
until finally all the wood substance
had disappeared and its place atom by
atom had been taken by silica.
The forests of the petrifed Forest
monument are geologically much older
than the others; those near Cairo,
Egypt, are believed TO be the youngest.
The Arizona forests belong probably
to the Triassic period. Therefore
these trees may have been buried be-
tween 100000 and 100000 years
ago.

What Is the Strength of wood1

Because of disagreemcnts and miscal-
culations as to strength of lumber,
which have resulted in accidents, the
United States forest service, the Amer
lean Society for Testing Materials and
16 other organizations have appointed
representatives to settle the question
and work out standard tests for tim
bers. Detailed specifications for test
ing steel, cement and other products
have been worked out, but the exact
methods of learning the strength OF
wood have never been laid down.
