It was bitterly cold, and the two figures threading their way down the mountain side bent to avoid the slant­ ing particles of ice that stung. their faces. Yet only the day before the sun had shone and May flowers had opened their petals to a soft breeze. "Hurry! hurry! Doctor! for mercy's sake, hurry!" implored one of the fig­ ures, shouting in order to be heard above the wind, and the other figure, strong and athletic though it was, threw Itself forward still more fiercely in vain endeavor to overtake the old man, who was plunging on ahead. "Hurry! hur­ ry! hurry!" came back to him as part •C the wind. "It's ten miles yet, an" •he may be dyin'. For mercy's 6ake, hurry!" Only a few hours before, Just as the storm was bursting, the old man had appeared at the , door of a small iso­ lated hotel in the mountains and de­ manded a doctor, and when assured there was not one within twenty miles he had thrown up his hands with a despairing, "An' she may be dyin"! She may be dyin'!" Then suddenly straightening himself, he had asked < harshly to be shown the road to the nearest doctor. At that moment the young man had appeared. "I am pot a doctor," he had said, "but I studied medicine two years before deciding upon the ministry. I have only just arrived, so I know nothing about the location of doctors here. As you are in a hurry, I may be better than none, and am at your service." Hardly a word had been spoken since then, except the intermittent "Hurry! hurry!" Down slopes they had plunged, dodging trees and bowlders, slipping and stumbling, and up slopes they had climbed and scrambled, clinging by sheer force of fingers where they would often have fallen back, their one thought to cover distance as rapidly as possible. Mile after mile fell away behind them and still they bent their faces to the slanting particles of ice, the young man unable to see where he was going, but following hie compan­ ion, who was apparently oblivious of fatigue or pain. But suddenly as they hurried on the old man's foot caught in some projec­ tion and he was thrown violently for­ ward. Almost instantly, however, he was upon his feet again and plunging on. But only for a few steps; then he tottered antjjfell. "Hurry! hurry!" he called. "I've broke my ankle, and can't keep up. Foller the ridge till ye come to a gul- ley with pine trees on one side. Keep through it, and then turn to the right. My cabin's in-the oak scrub beyond." "But you," protested the young man Anxiously. "I cannot leave you like this. Let me attend to your ankle first" "No, no, no!" screamed the old man harshly. "Go on, I tell ye. There's no time for me. I'm all right an' know every foot o' these mountains. If my ankle is broke, I can hobble along, an' will get there 'most as soon as you. Go ness of the river bed. The old man had not spoken pf this. Doubtless he knew of a fording place, and had ex­ pected himself to lead the way across. There was no time to look for a ford now, and without hesitation the young man flung himself into the Icy water. He was a strong swimmer, but when he drew himself laboriously up the opposite bank he was breathing heav­ ily. Another ten feet of the whirling Icy current he felt would have been more than he could have overcome. For a moment he lay panting and trembling; then rose stiffly to his feet In his wet garments he would soon freeze unless he kept moving. Far up the slope he could see the scrub oaks, and among them was doubtless the cabin. It was still miles away, and would require hard climbing to reach it But the very exertion of such a climb would be the best means of keeping him from freezing. Up, up he climbed and crawled, all the time more slowly and painfully, his gar­ ments soon freezing stiff as boards and his fingers becoming red and blood- »*<-;• - ' • Vi ii,. The old man reached into his pockeC "I wish I could give you eomethhifl like what you've done for me's worth.

This Is all the money I've got, but you must taKe It" and he held out a silver ^dollar. The young man glanced at it smil­ ingly, with refusal on his lips. But something in the old man's eyes mads him change his mind. He took the dollar and slipped it into his pocket "Thank you," he said. "Now I must be going." When he came , to the crossing to which the old man had directed him. a tree fallen across the river, he paused and took some letters from his pocket One of them he opened and read thoughtfully. Dear Jack: Allow me to congratu­ late you in advance upon your success in the suit All that was needed was the evidence which you write you have secured. The money Is unques­ tionably yours, an'! even the other side tacitly admits this, while counting for success upon Quibble of the law.

Ignorance of the Native* Concerning aii Religions Affaire. •way back in the mountains of West Virginia a Presbyterian minister some time ago fell in with some people who seemed to be well fitted for the mis­ sionary efforts on which he was bent He had been riding nearly all day, and late In the afternoon came upon a cabin set in the midst of a woodland. Near the door was a spare straight- haired woman who gazed at him curi­ ously. The minister spoke to her cour­ teously and made some inquiries re­ garding the neighborhood. Her hus­ band was a hunter, the woman said. "And is he a God-fearing man?" asked the preacher. "I reckon so," came the slow reply, " 'cause he always takes his gun with him." The visitor hastily changed the sub­ ject and inquired if there were any Presbyterians In the neighborhood. "I dunno," said the woman simply, "but there's a lot of skins hanging up in the cabin; you can look at 'em and see if you can find any." A Sunday school organization in the same dis­ trict had old men and young lads in the same class. Wishihg to test the knowledge of her scholars the teacher began by asking each one who made him. Ah old man at the end of the bench didn't know, the next man idn't, and no one until a small boy eclared he knew, and said "God." "Well," cried the old fellow just ap­ pealed to, " 'Taint been so very long,? since he was made."--Baltimore Sun.

THE OLD MONASTERY THE CARTHUSIAN MONKS OTHERWISE LA GRANDE CHARTREUSE. The convent of La Grande Char­ treuse, In the Isere department of France, after nearly 1,000 years of ac­ tivity has just been deserted by the Carthusian monks, and the world's supply of the liqueur which bears their name has been stopped at its source. The new "associations laws" of France has driven the friars out of the country, and the republic incident­ ally loses one of her largest Sources of revenue. The order of the Carthu­ sians was founded by Bruno in 1081, and the first monastery was built on the site occupied by the present one. The latter buildings &re nearly 400 years old, and in them was manufac­ tured the yellow, green and white chartreuse, so loved as an after dinner cordial by good epicures. The process of manufacture is a secret and haa been safely guarded for centuries, . It is not definitely known what country the exiled monks will select for the site of their mother monastery. Eng­ land and the United States have been discussed, but the most recent infor­ mation seems to Indicate that they will settle in the Isle of Wight, where the hills and valleys are highly favor­ able to the production of their famous llauew. ; Instrument for Soil Experiment "Hurry!

Along the ridge and down the galley he hurried, dodging the trees and rocks when he could see them, and brulBlng himself against them when he eould not, the storm still beating in his faoe, but the bitter cold unnoticed in kto haste.

But at last he reached the scrub, and soon after saw the cabin in which was the life he was to save. It was late the next day when the old man followed him up the slope, even more slowly and painfully. It required several hours to hobble to the scrub, and several more to reach the cabin. When he pushed open the door with an improvised crutch, he saw a girl lying on a couch, her face pale and frightened, but her eyes clear and bright For the first time tears began to fall from the old man's eyes, for the brightness of the girl's face told him that she was saved. Upon the floor lay the young man breathing heavily. "He fell there after he saved me, the girl gaid, hurriedly, "but first he took some of his own medicine. He said he would try to get to the fire. could only lie here and wait and watch. It's been awful, for maybe-- Henry Is dying. You must hurry for doctor, uncle." "Yes, yes; I'll hurry for one right off," said tfie old man thankfully; "he's earned that. But first I'll git him on the bed an' give him something hot to drink. I reckon mebbe he's got chilled and used up." But as he beLt over him, the young man opened his eyes; at first blankly, then with growing Intelligence in them. "It's more exhaustion than anything else," he whispered, "that and the cold. I'll be all right in a day or two. Don't go for a doctor; you're not able. You might hand me my box of medicine. It fell on the floor. And--and--1" The old man bent lower. "Is--is--El-sie doing well? Y8u might--give her another spoonful-- from the glass." The old man nodded, a surprised look coming to his face. But the young man had fallen back uncon scious. Three days later the two were oat- side the cabin together. The old man was sitting on a bench, his ankle bandaged. "Your niece is all right now," tl& young man was saying. "If she has another attack, give her the medicine as I have directed. And you must be very careful of your ankle for a week or two--though for that matter I shall be back again--soon. I--you see--I used to know your niece. We attended schools in the same town. Then she disappeared, and I could not obtain her a^dresa." "Yes," eaid the oid man, "an' you've found her here?" "I've found her h«re," simply, "and --and she says I may vail again. But good-hy."

The division of soils of the United States department of agriculture has just described a new instrument now in use for investigating the properties of soils. This is a great time and labor saving apparatus, giving accurate and reliable results, which otherwise would require months to obtain. The physicial properties of soils are recognized by plant physiologists to be of the greatest importance in plant economy. Efven in the consideration of climatic conditions it is now gen­ erally considered that for most plants the conditions of the soil hold equal rank with atmospheric conditions. A high temperature in the soil under fa­ vorable conditions promotes extensive root development; a high atmospheric temperature under equally favorable conditions favors a heavy growth of foliage. A deficiency in water of either aii- or soil is attended with dis­ tress. The new apparatus as devised by the division of soil is an electric affair. It registers a half dozen or more various soil properties. This method depends upon .the principle that the resistance offered to the passage of an electric current from one carbon plate to an­ other buried in the soil depends upon the amount of moisture present be­ tween the carbon plates or electrodes, This resistance is measured. Mn The illustration shows the instru­ ment as used in the field, with the carbon electrodes, and temperature cells in place. The carbon electrodes and temperature cells may be buried in the soil at the beginning of the season and remain undisturbed throughout the year. The moisture ney that soil areas of the Connecticut record obtained consequently deals with the variation in moisture con­ tents in the same portion of soil. This is one of the advantages of the meth- The Population of London. Te population of L nden, according to the authoritat ve and careful calcu­ lations of Mr. Weiton, published in the December (1900) issue of the Royal Statistical Socl:ty's Journal, amounted to only 1,000 000 in 1801. This figure had doubled itself by 1841; and In 1891 the total reached 5,442,000, and by 1901 was probably 6 250 000. The area in­ cluded. it should be said, is not precise­ ly that of the census returns, so that the figures though based upon the cen­ sus returns, differ considerably from them. But practically we may say that In the lapse of a century the in­ habitants of London multiplied sixfold This enormous population, greater than that of many European states of the second class, is compressed within a space of about 130,000 acres, or, say, 200 square miles.--National Review. ROUGH RIDER. MADE GOVERNOR V OF ARIZONA. v si Photograph Wlthont a Camera. It la often desired to photograph an engraving or plate In a book that can not be taken from a library, and where the camera cannot be used. A means of taking the photograph in such cases, has been devised by an English­ man. He coats a cardboard with a phosphorescent substance, exposes it to sunlight or to the electric arc light, and then places It at the back of the engraving. He then closes the book, wraps it in a black cloth and leaves it so for from 18 to 60 minutes, accord­ ing to the thickness of the paper, and thus obtains a fairly, MUsfactoiV atlve. r ' -Jl- • "'f ' The. appointment of Alexander O.

Colonel B ro d i e went into the Span­ ish war as senior Major of the regi­ ment, commanding the Arizona squad­ ron.

In 1870 he graduated from West Point, and for several years he served on the fron­ tier in the First Cavalry. Twice he has been named for brevet, once by General Cook for services against the PRESIDENT DIAZ'S WAY. Another Corner la Corn and How It Wm Smashed. i> President DIas of*Mexico has just interfered with a little corner in corn, to the sorrow of certain speculators and the joy of a lot of other people. In Mexico there Is a tariff on corn, and owing to a shortage of the crop this year certain manipulators thought they saw a chance to do some squeez­ ing. They bought up the visible supply and then pr6ceeded to raise the price. Mexican working people live largely upon corn, and when the corner was formed they found themselves in a sorry plight. President Diaz then stepped forward to take a hand in the game. When Diaz wants to do things in Mexico, it may be mentioned paren­ thetically, he doesn't wait around to find out whether Congressmen who don't want their names mentioned- are going to like it or not. He just goes ahead and acts. Therefore when he found that the corner in corn was bringing sorrow to the people ho pro- A Apaches and again for bravery in Cuba. The new governor has had business Interests in the West since 1877, when he resigned his ̂ commission in the regular army. ceeded to have the tariff removed and got the railroads to make a low rate on corn imported from the. Un'ted States. But, not satisfied with that, he bought corn on behalf of the gov­ ernment and then turned it over to the people at cost. od, since it has been shown that the moisture contents of a seemingly uni­ form soil may vary as much as 4 per cent within an area of one square rod. Consequently in order to obtain a con­ sistent record of the change in water it Is necessary to deal with the same sample ot soil. The scale of the instrument is ar­ ranged on a decimal plan, so that the various soil properties can be deter­ mined directly upon the scale of the instrument. The VaUey Forge Mono men t.
