"They alius act that way when \ It's stormln'." The next day the gal© began to lessen, and by night the moon, now half-full, peeped out of the scurrying Clouds. At bedtime it was smiling se­ renely, well down toward the tree- - tops, and Chip's spites had ceased their wailing. Fortunately, however, Martin's Quest for game had been successful. A saddle of venison, a dozen or more partridges and two goodly strings Of trout hung in cold storage. But utter and almost speechless as- 2nishment awaited Old Cy at the lce- mse when he visited it the next morning, for the venison was gone, not a bird remained, and' one of the two strings of trout had vanished. In front, on the sand, was the same tell-tale moccasin tracks. "Wall, by the Great Horn Spoon! if that cuss hain't swiped the hull busi­ ness," ,01d Cy ejaculated, as he looked In and then at the tracks. "Crossed over last night," he added, noting where a canoe had cut its furrow, "an' steered plumb for my icehouse! The •armint!" But Martin was angry, thoroughly angry, at the audacious insolence of the theft, and the thought that just tow this sneaking half-breed was doubtless enjoying grilled venison and roast partridge in some secure shel­ ter. It also opened his eyes to the fact that this chap would hang about, watching his chance, until they started out of the wilderness, and then capture the girl if he could. For ;a_ little while Martin pondered over the situation and then announced his plans. "There's law, and officers to exe­ cute It," he said, "if a sufficient re­ ward be offered; and to-morrow you and I, Levi, will start for the settle­ ment and fetch a couple in. I'll glad­ ly give $500 to land this sneak behind tile bars. If he can't be caught, we can at least have two officers to guard us going out." All that day he and Levi spent in hunting. Another deer was captured, more birds secured, and when evening came plans to meet the situation were discussed. "You or Ray must remain on guard daytimes near the cabin," Martin said to Old Cy. "My wife and Chip had better keep in it, or near it most of the time; and both of you must sleep there nights. One or the other can fish or hunt, as needed. We must be gone a week or more, even if we have good luck; but fetching the officers here- is the best plan now." Levi was up early the next morn­ ing, and had the best canoe packed for a hurry trip ere breakfast was ready. No tent was to be taken, only blank­ ets, a rifle, a bag of the simplest cook­ ing utensils, pork, bread and coffee. A modest outfit--barely enough to sustain life, yet all a woodsman car ries when a long canoe journey with many carries must be taken. There were sober faces at the land ing when Martin was ready to start ---Chip most sober of all--for now she realized as never before how serious a burden she had become. No time was wasted in good-bys. Martin grasped the bow paddle, and . With "Old Faithful" Levi wielding the •%tern one, they soon crossed the lake pud vanished at its outlet. And now, also, for the first time, Angle realized how much the presence Of these two strong and resourceful men meant to her. All that day she and Chip clung to th© cabin, while Old Cy, a long, lanky Leatherstock- lng, patrolled the premises, rifle in hand. * ("We hain't a mite o* cause to * ^Sorry," he said when nightfall drew Bear. "The pesky varpaint's a cow- . ard, 'n' knows guns are plenty here, an' we folks handy in usin' 'em. I've rigged a fish line to the ice house door •o It'll rattle some tinware in the cab- til if he meddles it again. I sleep with one eye 'n' both ears open, an' if he comes prowlin' round night-times, he'll hear bullets whizzin' an' think Itourth o' July's opened up arly." ' . But for all his cheerful assurance, (tone passed slowly, and a sense of real danger oppressed Angle and Chip M well. Ray shared It also. He was not as yet hardened to the wilder­ ness, and like all who are thus tender, gj vast somber solitude seemed om- ous. . Only the hermit, with his moonlike •yes and Impassive ways, showed no «tgn of trouble. What this half-breed wanted, other than food, he seemed not to understand; and while he helped about the camp work and fol­ lowed Old Cy like a dog, he was of . , no other aid. ^ One, two, three days of watchful guard and evenings when even Old Cy's cheerful philosophy or Ray's banjo-failed to dispel the gloom, and then, just as the sun was setting once again, a canoe with one occipant was 4 . ' 1 1. ft* .J • seen to enter the lake and head for the landing* CHAPTER VII. An unexpected canoe entering a lake so secluded and so seldom visited as this lake must needs awaken the keenest surprise, and especially in the case of a party situated as this one was. Ray, who had just returned from a berry-picking trip over at the "blow down," and Old Cy, carrying his sug­ gestive rifle, were at the landing some time before this canoe reached it, while Angie and Chip waited almost breathlessly on the cabin piazza. A stout, bare headed Indian, -clad in white man's raiment, was paddling. He glanced at the two awaiting him at the landing, with big black, emo­ tionless eyes, and then up to the cabin. As his canoe now grated on the sandy beach close by, he laid aside his paddle, stepped forward and out, drew his craft up, and folding his arms glanced at Old Cy again, as if waiting for a welcome. None was needed, however, for on the instant, almost, came an exclamation of joy from Chip, and with a "Hullo, Poppy To- mah," she was down the bank, with both her hands in his. A faint smile of welcome spread over his austere face as he looked down at the girl, hut not a word, as yet, came. Old Cy, quick to see that he was a friend, now advanced. "We're glad to see ye," he said, "an' as ye seem to be a friend o* the gal's, we'll make ye welcome." The Indian bowed low, and a "How do," like a grunt, was his answer. A away, m rapid succession. Her own adventures and how she came here soon followed, and it was not long be­ fore he knew all that was to be known about her. His replies were blunt and brief, after the manner of such. Now and then an expressive nod or grunt filled in the place of an ordinary answer. He knew but little about the recent happenings at Tim's place, as he had stayed there only one night since Chip had departed with her father-- as he was told. He had been away in. the woods, looking for places to set traps later, and had no Idea Chip was here. As to Pete's movements, he was equally in the dark, and when Chip told him what her friends here sus­ pected, he merely grunted. As he seemed to wish to do his own cooking. Old Cy, having completed his task, of­ fered him a partridge and a couple of trout fresh from the Icehouse, also pork and potatoes, and left him to care for himself. He became more sociable later, and when supper was over and ther rest had, as usual, gathered on the plaxxa of, the new cabin, he joined them. And now came a recital from Ray of far more interest to these people than they suspected. "I saw a bear over back of the ridge this afternoon," he Bald, "or I don't, know but it was a wildcat. I'd just filled my pail with berries, when way up, close to the rocks, I saw some­ thing moving. I crouched down back of a bush, thinking it might be a bear, and if it was, I'd get a chance to see It nearer. I could only see the top of Its back above the bushes, and once 1 saw Its head, as if it was stand­ ing up. Then I didn't see it for quite a spell, and then I caught sight of its back again, a good deal nearer, and then it went into one of the gullies in the hog-back. I didn't wait to see if it came out, but cut for home." "Did this critter sorter wobble like a woodchuck runnin'T" put in Old Cy. "No, it just crept along evenly," an­ swered Ray. "I'd see it when it would come out between the bushes." " 'Twa'n't a b'ar," muttered Old Cy, and then, as if the unwisdom of wak­ ing suspicion In Angle's * mind oc­ curred, he added hastily, "but mebbe V . A J From Behind a Low Spruce One Evil, 8lnlster Eye Watched Her. doe, walkin' head down calm, slow, motionless type of a now almost extinct race, as he seemed to be, he would utter no word or move a step farther until invited. But now, led 'by Chip, he advanced up the path. "It's Tomah, old Poppy Tomah," she said with pride, as Angie rose to meet them, "and he'B the only body who was ever good to me." "I am glad to see you, sir," Angle said, with a gracious bow and smile, "and you are welcome here.": "I thank the white lady--I not for­ get,' came the Indian's dignified an­ swer with a stately bow. Not a word of greeting for Chip or of surprise at finding her here--only the eagle glance' accustomed to bright sunlight or to following the flight of a bird far out of white man's vision. "We shall have supper soon," Angie added, uncertain what to say to this impassive man, "and some for you." It was a deft speech, for Angie, ac­ customed to take in every detail of a man from the condition of his nails to the cut of his clothing, as all wom­ en will, had ere now absorbed the ap­ pearance of this swarthy redskin, and was not quite sure whether to invite him to share their table or say noth­ ing. & But this Indian solved his own prob­ lem, for spying the outdoor fire to which Ofll Cy now retreated, he bowed again and strode away toward it. "Me cook here?" he said to Old Cy. With an "Of course, an* you're wel­ come to," the question was settled. Chip soon drew nekr, and now for the first time the Indian's speech seemed to return, and while Old Cy busied hlmseljf about the cooking, these two began to visit. Chip, as might be expected, did most of the talking, asked questions as to Tim's place, when he was there, and what they said about her running •n' 'twas a feedin'." No further notice was taken of Ray's adventure. The sight of deer everywhere about was a ten-times daily occurrence, and Old Cy'B dismis­ sal of the matter ended it His thoughts, however, were a dif­ ferent matter. Full well he knew it was no bear thus moving. A deer would never enter a crevasse, nor wildcat or lynx ever leave the shelter of woods to wander In open sunlight. "I'll go over thar in the mornin'," he said to himself; "I may git a chance to wing that varmint 'n' end our worryin'. CHAPTER VIII. Old Cy's suspicions were correct. It was neither bear, deer, aor wildcat that Ray saw skulk'ug along the ridge, but the aalf-breed. Believing Chip's father had taken her out of the wilderness, or mors likely upstream to find a place with these campers, he had come here to seek her. To find her here, as he of course did, only convinced him that his suspicions were true and that her father had thus meant to rob him. Two determined impulses now fol­ lowed this discovery: First, to make, the girl he had bought a prisoner, carry her into the woods, and then, when the chance came, revenge him­ self on McGuire. No sense of law, or decency even, entered his calculation. He was beyond such scruples, and what he wanted was his only law. The fear of rifles, which he knew were plenty enough at this camp, was the only factor to be considered. For days he watched the camp from across the lake, hoping that the girl he saw canoeing with a boy so often might come near enough for him to make a capture. Many times, when darkness served, he paddled close to where the cabin stood, and once land­ ed and watched it for hours. Growing bolder, as the days wore on, he hid his canoe below the outlet of the lake and taking advantage of this outcropping slate ledge with its many fissures, secreted himself and watched* But some shelter, at least to cook and eat in, he must^have, and this he found in a distant crevasse of this same ledge, and from this he sneaked along back of it until he could hide and watch the camp below. From this vantage-point he saw that the girl no longer went out upon the lake, but re­ mained near the cabin; then, later, he noticed the two men leave the lake one morning. This encouraged him, and now he grew still bolder, even de- seen ding the ridge ^pd watching those remaining at the cabin, from a dense thicket. From this new post he saw that but one man seemed on guard, and almost was he tempted to shoot him from ambush and make a dash to capture his victim. Cautious and cunning, he still waited a chance Involving less risk. And now he saw that certain duties were performed by these people; that one man and the boy always started the morning fire; that the girl invari­ ably went to the landing alone for wa­ ter, at about the same time. Here for the moment she was out of sight from either cabin, and now in this act of hers, be saw his opportunity to land from his canoe near this spot before daylight, and hide in the bushes fring­ ing the shore here and below the bank, watch his chance and seize and gag iier before an outcry could be made. To tie her hands and feet and to push the other canoe out into the lake, thus avoiding pursuit until they could get a good start, was an easy matter. It was risky, of course. She might hear or see him in time to give one scream. The old man who had said foolish things to him, and now seem­ ed to be on guard, would surely send bullets after him as he sped away; but once out of the lake, he would be safe. It'was a dangerous act; yet the other two men might return any day, and with this in prospect, this wiley half-breed now resolved to act. Old Cy was up early that fatal morning. Somehow a sense of im­ pending danger haunted him, and call­ ing Ray, he unlocked the cabin door and began starting the morning fire. He wanted to get breakfast out of the way as speedily as possible, and then visit this ridge, feeling almost sure that he would find where this half- ! breed had been watching them. When Ray came out, and before the hermit or Chip appeared. Old Cy hur­ ried over to the ice-house, and now Chip came forth as usual, and with­ out a word to anyone, she took the two pails and started for the landing. It was, perhaps, ten rods to this, down a narrow path winding through the scrub spruce. The morning was fair, the like without a rippie. Above the ridge, and peeping through its toppingof stunted fir, came the first glance of the sun, and Chip was happy. Old Tomah, her one and only friend for many years, was here. A some­ thing Ray had whispered the night be­ fore, now returned like a sweet note of music vibrating in her heart, aiyi as if to add their cheer, the birds were piping all about. «,For weeks the cheerful words of one of Ray's songs had haunted her with its catchy rhythm:-- T»ar was an old nigger and his name was Uncle Ned. He died long 'go, long "go." They now rose to her lips as she neared the lake. Here she halted, filled a pail, jtnd set It on the log landing. From behind a low spruce one evil, sinister eye watched her. And now Chip, still humming this ditty, glanced up at the rising sun and out over the lake. A crouching form with hideous face now emerged from behind the bush; step by step, this human panther ad­ vanced. A slow, cautious, catlike move­ ment, without Bound, as each moc- casined foot touched the sand Nearer and nearer that unconscious girl it crept! Now 20 feet away, now ten, now five! And now came a swift rush, two fierce hands enclosed the girl's face and drew her backward on to the sand. Ray and the hermit were beside the lire, and the Indian just emerging from the hut where he had slept, when Old Cy returned from the Icehouse. -Where's Chip?" he questioned. "Gone after water," answered Ray. And the two glanced down the path. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Astonished Child of Slums. Pathos In Little Girl's Exclamation of Wonder. It was a case of the meeting of ex­ tremes. A beautifully appointed baby carriage, enameled in white and with all its fittings and coverlets of snowy spotlessness, was being trundled along an uptown street, says the New York Times. In it lay a pink and- white baby, nestling amid frills of lawn and lace. Approaching from the other direction was a group of little Italian children, evidently on their way home from school. Dressed in heavy-looking clothes of every pos­ sible color, the only uniformity pre­ sented was the general hue of dirt, which seemed to be common to the clothing, as well as the hands and faces, of all. Certainly the contrast between the baby in the carriage and the children on the street--many of them scarcely more than babies them­ selves--could not have been more marked- Something of this seemed to impress the children. Pausing for a moment, they gazed at the carriage with admiring eyes, while one little girl, braver than the rest, under the hood to get a better look at the occupant, exclaimed: "My What a whiteness!" m MICROSCOPE AS DETECTIVE. A Most Effective Agent Jkp Adulterations in Food. Reveal The miscroscope is becoming more and more a commercial tool. Its value in the recognition of adulterated vegetable substances, especially foods, in the shape of fine powder, is very great. This appears clearly from an article contributed to the Revue Scien- tlfique by Eugene Colin. This writer points out that the growing custom of buying certain products in the state of powder, which compels merchants to procure substances in this state, has given rise to the new Industry of pul­ verization, whose exploiters, in order to make use of their personnel! and plant, are now furnishing in pulverised form a host of natural products that were formerly sold only whole. Noth­ ing, he remarks, could better swerve the interests of the adulterators than the development of this business.

Chemistry, the writer goes on to say, enables us to prove the presence of certain well- defined organic compounds such as gluten in flour, quinin In cinchona, caftein in tea, etc., but generally it is able to give no precise indication of the nature of the various mixtures that we may wish to test. Microscopy is thus the more delicate method, and it has b«en greatly facilitated by the observations and experiments of scientific men during the past 50 years on the anatomical structure of various vegetable products. The writer continues: "The microscopic determinatlop of„a vegetable powder demands of an an­ alyst a profound knowledge of all the anatomical elements compos­ ing the 'vegetable organ that fur­ nished this pow­ der.

The employment in aerpplane motors of some form of very high explosive controlled by extremely low tempera­ ture is suggested by Prof. Carl Barus. of Brown university, in Science. Prof. Barus thinks that although motors have been built that ape strong enough to drive and sustain an aeroplane, the. required excess of power has never yet been reached. He writes: "The fact that a machine of the aeroplane type built entirely of metal and canvas may be made to fly by the power ot an ordinary steam engine judiciously constructed was practical­ ly demonstrated some time ago by S. P. Langley. More would, therefor^be expected from the gas engine, if con­ structed with equal- forethought. I have always had some misgivings, however, as to whether these experi­ ments, into which so much devoted labor was put, actually met the real issue involved. It seemed to me that they proved that the power available in case of the ordinary engine is just s u f f i c i e n t t o m a i n t a i n f l i g h t a h d n o - more; whereas a really practical ma­ chine should be provided with a motor whose output of work per second and per kilogram of weight could be made enormously to exceed the demands up­ on it, under conditions of smooth soaring. "If one is In search of a maximum of power combined with a minimum of weight, one involuntarily looks to some form of modern explosive and in particular to those which can be worked up into wicks or ribbons. These could be adapted for use In con­ nection with the rocket principle which has so frequently stimulated the imagination of Inventors, in a way to require the least amount of subsidiary mechanism. In fact, such expansion is virtually Its own propeller. The only question is, how can this quite pro­ hibitively excessive power be con­ trolled? In other words, how may the enormous per second expenditure of energy be reduced in any desirable amount at will, and compatible with safety and the need of the operator? "Now it occurred to me that in case of the nitrogen explosives there may Keeping Coal Under Water. When coal is left for a long time exposed to the air it deteriorates. Not only does it become more pliable, but chemical changes take place which diminish its heating power when burned. Experiments made by the English admiralty have shown that coal stored under water, and particu­ larly under sea water, escapes most of the deterioration that it undergoes In the open atmosphere. At Hong­ kong, where it had been found that coal in ordinary storage lost from 30 to 35 per cent, of its calorific power, the same kind of coal kept under sea water, at a depth of 30 feet, remained intact for five years. Thirty-six hours' exposure to sun and air sufficed to dry It ready for use. The Caspian 8ink. It results from the careful measure ments of level recently made by Lieut. Col.
