The success of this undertaking led to the establish mept of the National Geological Garden at Washington, which was originally planned by Dr. Hornaday.
 Miffed Resigns
 When the zoologlcai park was placed under the supervision of the Secretary of the Smithsonian In- stitution, there were ordered such radical and sweeping changes in the plans submitted to Congress by Dr. Hornaday that he resigned rather than become responsible for their fulfillment.
 Leaving the government service Dr. Hornaday went to Buffalo, N Y, where he engaged in the real estate business for six years. He was appointed director of the New York Geological Gardens in 1896. Under his supervision New York City's wild animal and bird family grew until it became one of the most extensive municipal collections in the country.

least a couple of days, else the spy
would never have gotten past the
white sentries.
Setting down his bucket Jonas be-
gan stalking the Indian. But it was
open country and he had not taken
two steps before the redman spied
him. They weren't Is yards apart
and they leaped simultaneously. A
savage scream came from the Indians
throat.
Jonas had no time TO wonder what
the scream might mean. He closed
with the redman and found all his
strength was needed to keep clear of
the vicious-looking knife that was
menacing his middle.
He secured a hold on the Indians
wrist and clung on for dear life. His
own knife was in the sheath at the
rear of his belt.
WITH a powerful twist he brought
the Indian to his knees, fell on
top of him, and they rolled down the
grassy slope toward the spring. The
fight ended scarcely before it had
started. When they stopped rolling
Jonas heaved the redskin off himself,
leaped to his feet and prepared for an
other attack. But the Indian lay
still, and Jonas saw that his own knife
had pierced his side.
From behind, up the slope behind
the camp, he heard the sound of gun
fire and the wild shouts of Indians.
He ran in that direction, snatching UP
his rifle as he passed through the
camp. The white men were advancing
rapidly up the hill, driving before them
the attacking Indians. Something.
Jonas guessed, had gone wrong for
the redmen, but it wasn't until an
hour later that he knew.
Capt. North led his men triumph
antly back to camp. Most Of them
had scalps. The others were still in
pursuit of the fleeing enemy. Jonas
heard his name called and turned to
find North looking at him.
They mistook the Injun's yell for a
signal that We weren't strong enough
to be formidable. I reckon it was you

out OF commission" North extended
his hand. Here" he said, offering
the scalp which the hand held. Il
reckon you've earned this"
Jonas remembered then what he
had come for. The scalp, plus the one
OF the Indian near the spring would
make his quota. He looked up at
Capt. North and tried to thank him,
but North had turned his back and
was believing orders at the men,

The tomato ranks third in impor-

and the demand for perfect fruit is

question of protecting this crop from
foes is serious one.
1t seems that the fruit worm is
most eager to break his fast in early
Spring. His trek toward the early
crop must be evaded. The first treat

They followed the Wildcat River
northward for three days before turn
ing into the wilderness. There were
so in the party, sober, stalwart men,
Most of them, like Jonas. were in need
of funds. A few were scouts, profess
sional Indian fighters, adventurers.
Capt. North was among the last group.
He was big man, rough in his ways,
said to have no human kindness or
mercy in his makeup. That's why he
had been chosen to teach the redskins
a lesson. He had been a scout and
Army man all his life. He knew the
wilderness and knew Indians If any
one could break their morale it was he.
1t was early September. The woods
were dry and hot. After three days
OF travel, with no sign of Indians,
some of the men began to grumble.
North was setting a hard pace. There
was no need for it. Supplies were low.
Why couldn't the man be reasonable? I?
Was the expedition to turn into an
other wild goose chase?
On the fourth night after leaving the
river they camped on the shore of
Miner Lake. No fires were built. Word
had been passed that the Indians we're
near. This announcement increased
the grumbling. 1t was plain that
those who didn't know Capt. North
were skeptical.
Jonas was sitting on his blanket
polishing his rifle when Capt North
appeared. The big man went straight
to where farmer named Harmon,
one of those who had joined the party
In the hope Of easy money, was sitting.
Without explanation he jerked Har-
mon to his feet and then knocked him
down.
The blow would have rendered an
ordinary man unconscious. Harmon
was big, slow-moving, powerful Slow
" he stood up.
That" said Capt. North, sis for

Harmon wasn't used to obeying or
ders. He leaped at Capt. North's
throat. The officer side-stepped nim-
bly,, drove out hard with his fist.

WATCHING what happened, Jonas
was glad to have had the sense
to keep his thoughts to himself. Har-

the ground. None Of the men gath

mind to accept the challenge that was

bureau informed Representative Paul

no objection provided the additional
cost would not increase the govern
